absolutely chaos breaking out at the u.s. women's final. >> it's going to go down as one of the most controversial matches in tennis history. >> it made me feel like a sexist remark. they never took a game from a man because of defeat. >> a strike is in the cards for the u.s. next week. that has not happened in decades across the east coast. >> we are preparing for the worst and of course, hoping for the best. >> we have the chance to
3:01 am
flip the house of representatives and make sure for real checks and balances in washington! >> announcer: this is "new day weekend" with victor blackwell and christi paul. good sunday morning to you. we hope everything is going well for you this morning. a 20-year-old upset tennis legend to hwin her first grand slam title but may be the last thing somebody remembers about this u.s. open match. >> likely about serena williams clashing with this chair umpire and demand an apology and getting docked a game. >> you need to make an announcement i didn't get coach. i don't cheat. i didn't get coaching. how can you say that? you need to -- you need -- you owe me an apology. you owe me an apology. i have never cheated in my life!
3:02 am
i have a daughter and i stand what is right for her and i have never cheated and you owe me an apology! >> you can hear everyone there is behind serena there, but at home, millions of viewers joined the crowd of a-list stars at arthur ashe stadium to watch this historic match and williams was trying to tie the major wins. >> talk about what happened. we want to be joined by cnn's sports analyst christine brennan and cnn sports anchor andy scholes. all right. thank you both so much for being here. christi christine, first of all, your takeaway from this. >> obviously, no one is for arguments or screaming or any kind of altercation on the court. however, when we consider the history of tennis, with the number of men who have yelled, screamed, what have you and gotten away with it, that is the point that serena has been making after the match and, obviously, all through the night on twitter. the conversation is there.
3:03 am
that serena was treated differently. i don't think we can ever, ever doubt that that is the case. and i think it's an important point to make. many people, voices from billie jean king to chris evert to andy roddick and james blake, james blake saying if he had done that, he has done worse and never penalized so why did that chair umpire at that moment decide to insert himself and take over and potentially alter the match, the outcome of a very important grand slam final that could have been the 24th grand slam title for serena if she had won. name o'osaka winning dramatically and a great win for her, but you cannot ignore what appears to be an incredible double standard between how men are treated, as billie jean said for being outspoken, and women then are called hysterical for doing the same thing. >> you were there, andy. walk us through it.
3:04 am
>> well, what was that? someone was talking in my ear at the same time. >> sorry about that. andy, you were there. >> yes. >> tell us what happened. because us through it. >> it was quite the scene. the fans there, they were hoping to sit there and watch serena make some history. instead, they got to see what is probably down as one of the most controversial tennis matches of all time. serena had dropped a first set to osasa and having problem with her serve. she was accused of accepting coaching from her coach from the stands and that is when serena first approached ramos. >> i understand why you thought that was coaching but i tell you, it was not. i don't cheat. i'm letting you know. >> the match continued and after osaka broke serena and she was upset and smashed her rack into the ground and that is guaranteed to happen for a penalty if you do that.
3:05 am
during a changeover, serena decided to go at ramos again. ramos then penalized serena this time for verbal abuse for calling him a thief, for taking away that point and since this was her third offense, she was penalized a game and when serena realized the penalty, asked for the referee and supervisor saying in tears men do far worse and are not penalized for it. >> that's not right! that is not right p.m. [ inaudible ]. >> calling you a thief. >> okay. >> and that is not right. this is not fair. >> you can see serena in tears. she was would go on to lose the match to osaka. the fans were booging throughout all of these exchanges. after the match serena said she was proud the way she handled it. >> i'm here fighting for women's
3:06 am
right and women's equality and for all kinds of stuff and for me to say, thief and for him to take a game? it made me feel like it was a sexist remark. he has never took a game from a man because they said thief. for me, it blows my mind. but i'm going to continue to fight for women and to fight for us to have equal. we should be able to take our shirt off without getting a fine. this is outrageous. you know? i just feel like the fact that i have to go through this is just an example for the next person that has emotions and that want to express themselves and they want to be a strong woman and they are going to be allowed to that because of today. maybe it won't work out for me but it will work out for the next person! >> it's worth noting after the match, serena's coach was interviewed and he admitted to trying to coach serena. he says everyone does it. he does it all the time and, guys, this is the first time he has ever been penalized for it
3:07 am
during a match. >> so i want to ask you, christine, this tweet from john ziegler. he says a question for the female media types breathlessly retweeting sale jenkins column accusing the umpire to be a c f chauffeurist. >> every sport has its idiosyncrasies and phantom tag in baseball and all different kinds of plays. you could call holding on every play in football and cheating and faking a little you wouldn't call it cheating, it's gamesmanship. it's well known in tennis, as everyone has been saying the last 12 hours, everyone coaches. so the question then is why was serena penalized if everyone is
3:08 am
receiving coaching? billie jean king, everyone. take my word for it. and then, again, in terms of language, folks just look at history. john mcenroe, jimmy connors and as james blake supported out in serena williams, he has said worse and never been penalized so why, if that is -- if we are saying that everyone is bad, then there should be a uniform penalty for everyone in a game, a game penalty is an extraordinary penalty, especially at that moment at that match and i again would make the case, christi, the chair umpire literally took over the match. the number one job of any chair umpire or any referee is to let the players play and as so many have said, why not give serena just a warning saying, hey, cool it, i'm about to give you a game penalty if you say another word. that would have been the logical thing to do and again that is what is apparently all of the men have been saying has been done over and over again.
3:09 am
so why do you single out this one person who happens to be a woman, happens to be african-american, therein lies the question. i raise it as a question. why was she singled out and the others were not penalized for basically doing the same thing or, in many cases, worse than what serena did last night. >> andy let me come to you. naomi osaka apologized saying i'm sorry it ho to end this way. this was her first grand slam. this was supposed to be a great moment for her. serena had to stop the crowd from booing. what does this mean this asterisk is next to the 2018 u.s. open win? >> there is no asterisk per se, victor. everyone really did feel bad for osaka. i spoke to a lot of fans afterwards to get their reaction to what happened. many said they felt like serena was getting cheated out on the court but quick to acknowledge that osaka would probably win
3:10 am
this match regardless of the game penalty serena had been given. everybody felt bad. the crowd was 95% pro serena but not that anyone was against osaka, but everyone wanted to see history and serena winning their 24th open title. they were sad that osaka didn't get to celebrate the way she should have beating her childhood idol at the u.s. open. i spoke to osaka after the match. she was almost in tears in her post press conference. she is a serena fan herself and she felt bad about what happened and knows that serena wanted to win that u.s. open. feeling bad about it at the same time. it was, unfortunate, that there were so many boos raining down when osaka should have been
3:11 am
being celebrated out there on the court. >> all right. andy scholes and christine brennan, thank you both so much for spending some time with us this morning. >> sure. okay. moving into something else here. president obama back on the campaign trail. coming up, his message to democrats and why critics say, this could backfire. fl florence is expected to be a major hurricane. where it's heading and how some states are preparing. neorth korea held a militar parade. cnn says there was something missing from this event this year and it was significant. >> rone dramatic difference i'v seen in this parade and this very square, the nuclear program was not included. ♪ take us downtown, waze. waze integration-

former president barack obama continues to stump for democratic candidates ahead of the midterm elections. >> yes. saturday, yesterday, of course, obama campaigned for seven california democrats running in house districts currently held by republicans and all seven districts were won by hillary clinton in the 2016 election. >> meanwhile president trump took to twitter setting a positive spin to and predicted republican wins in the senate races this year. cnn sarah westwood joins us now from washington. sarah, how is the white house reacting to the now second appearance of president obama on the campaign trail? >> reporter: well, victor now that president trump is not alone on the campaign trail, he is touting what might be his favorite numbers in the world and that is his electoral college victory in 2016. this week trump blamed democrats for going, quote, crazy, trying to beat him even though he is is not technically on the ballot this year. he touted what he believes will be republican success in the
3:17 am
senate midterms. he made no mention of the house where republicans are, obviously, the most vulnerable heading into november and that is where former president obama seems to be focusing his fire power. on saturday during that second campaign appearance, he implored democrats to get out and vote and flip the house. he didn't attack trump directly but he argued about the broader consequences of allowing the gop to maintain its congressional mantle. take a listen to what he had to say. >> where is there a vacuum in our democracy, when we are not participating, we are not paying attention, when we are not stepping up, other voices fill the void. the good news is in twon months we have a chance to restore some sanity in our politics. we have the chance to flip the house of representatives and make sure the real checks and balances are in washington. >> reporter: now on friday, when president trump appeared in
3:18 am
north dakota to campaign on behalf of a republican senate, a senate candidate there, he said he, quote, fell asleep during president obama's political reemergence that also occurred on friday. republicans are saying this could backfire on democrats because when trail has something to rail against. obama could provide that once again and trump is not someone who apologize sharing the spotlight and interesting to see how he reacts if obama keeps up this political schedule. >> sarah westwood, thank you. we appreciate it. >> let's ltalk about this now. professor at princeton university and cnn analyst, julian zeleny and siraj hasmi editor of "the washington examiner." siran, scatter shot strategies
3:19 am
rarely work so what is president obama's mission? is it to bring back those democrats who voted for him in '08 and 2012 but voted for trump in 2016 or motivate the base who didn't show up in the levels in 2016? what is his primary focus? >> the one strategy in electoral politics is turn out your base. some politicians trite to get the voters on the fences but that doesn't win elections. what matters and i know is cliche, it's turnout. it's really turnout in your base and focusing on battle grounds like in california or illinois or what have you, you know, barack obama really energizes the democratic party and despite the fact that he had it pretty, you know, sketchy track record with getting democrats down the ballot elected to office or keeping a majority in congress, you know, he has a pretty good shot of at least reinvigorating
3:20 am
that sort of enthusiasm that democrats so desperately needed. >> let's talk about that jeskety track record as siraj refers to. this is president obama in 2016 a month after before the election. >> after we have achieved historic turnout in 2008 and 2013, especially in the african-american community, i will consider it a personal insult, an insult to my legacy if this community lets down its guard and fails to activate itself in this election! >> black voters didn't, in some really important states, and specific districts and wayne county in michigan and ohio didn't show up for hillary clinton in the way that they did for him in '08 and 2013 and shellacking where democrats lost more house in the senate. why are the democrats convinced
3:21 am
that president obama will have an impact this time? he is not on the balted and that is when he performs and gets his voters to come out. >> this is a different moment. most importantly, president trump is the focus in many ways of the midterm. a post-president he is playing a different role when he goes out on the campaign trail and speaks about the problems that the nation faces and urges this kind of enthusiasm. and also hillary clinton is not on the ticket. so i think it's just a different moment and he also now is engaging in the political fight. in a way he didn't in 2010 and 2014 in the way he is framing the problem. i think they are different moments and i think he can have a very beneficial effect for democrats. >> so we have seen, siraj, tweets from lindsey graham and marco rubio and others now focusing on former president obama. we know the playbook typically is to motivate base voters in
3:22 am
the republican party by going after nancy pelosi and now chuck schumer. does this change fundamentally their playbook? >> a little bit, because, you know, republicans see obama in the national spotlight as someone that, as a gift because it can also invigorate their voters and possibly turn them out to vote in november. at the same time, they have to realize that barack obama, despite the fact that he has a lot of power in the democratic party, he doesn't have the same level of power as president trump at the moment. and so, you know, making this a referendum about trump on both sides, you know, trump has made a referendum about him this midterm election and so has obama. so it's really, you know, democrats seem more energized now to go anti-trump than it is for republicans to go very pro trump because they are very sketchy on things like or i should say they are very cautious about things like the trade war. there are a lot of conservatives who are against imposing tariffs in other nations and getting into a trade war and you can see the impact it's having on, you
3:23 am
know, agriculture, you know is in the tax cuts that the republicans passed last year, it's kind of being offset by the trade wars we are having right now. and i think with obama, if he hones in on this restored sanity, i think that is actually a winning message without, you know, without getting into identity politics. >> quickly to you, julian. i want to read something that nick mulvaney, the director of the white house budget office, said. this is about the president. let's go to the one about the president, guys, the next full screen. he said the following. here is the quote from new york city. they obtained a recording. i mean, maybe that is true, but that is an interesting case to come from someone who is working there in the white house.
3:24 am
just forget how much you hate the president. >> right, absolutely. that is a very interesting case and you almost need a magician to pull off that trick. obviously, many people are happy with the way the economy is going, but many people are not happy with the president of the united states and it's very hard for voters to somehow subtract who the president is from the state of our politics and many republicans, right now, especially in these house contests, that could be a big issue that flips the chamber to the democrats. so it's interesting to hear mulvaney say that, but i don't think it's going to be possible to make that separation. that is exactly what republicans are hoping for. that is the only way in which there is no blue wave if somehow you can have people vote republican without voting for trump isn't but the two are one and the same. >> fewer than 60 days until election day. thank you both. >> thank you. >> do not miss senators ben sash
3:25 am
and mark warner this morning with jake tapper on "state of the union" on cnn. tropical storm florence is gaining strength and slowing down. cnn meteorologist allison chinchar is tracking it for us. >> it's expected to be a hurricane bit end of the day today but this is only one of three systems. we will take a look all of them coming up. alice loves the smell of gain so much, she wished it came in a fabric softener too. [throat clears] say hello to your fairy godmother, alice. oh and look they got gain scent beads and dryer sheets too!
3:30 am
coming close now to the bottom of the hour. tropical storm florence is getting stronger as it gets closer to the united states. it is expected to be a major hurricane by tomorrow. >> we have got south carolina, north carolina, virginia already declaring states of emergency in preparation for auvenll of this. cnn meteorologist allison chinchar is tracking this. we were talking about this thing is slowing down and how much that means to these states. >> it does. especially in terms of rainfall. the slower the systems move, the more rain they are likely to dump in the same location that is already been getting the rain. unfortunately, that seems to be the trend that the models are taking with this particular storm. 70 miles per hour, 5-mile-per-hour off from hurricane strength. so we are about as close as we could possibly get which is why
3:31 am
we expect it to get back to hurricane strength the end of the day today. monday, making that quick jump to likely a category three making it a major hurricane. it continues to strengthen over these open, warm waters before it finally gets close enough to land. now if the model is industrial pretty much pretty good agreement. somewhere between, say, virginia, and south carolina. that may seem like a pretty widespread but you have to understand there is a lot of models that come into play and this is actually, believe it or not, pretty good agreement to have all of them in this very narrow path right here. that is what you're seeing right here. the one big distinction is the time line for this. okay? the european model has it making landfall on thursday. the american model has it making landfall on friday. part of that is the slowing nature of it. if it waits until friday, it's more likely to kind of hover over the coastline which is why you'll end up getting very tremendous amounts of rain out of this. in fact, for portions of north carolina and virginia, it is not out of the question that we could get well over a foot of
3:32 am
rain out of this system. so here is the basic takeaway from this. it is expected to become a hurricane today. a major hurricane by tomorrow. the potential u.s. landfall is still five days away and that would be in the earlier end of it. but also as we mentioned, this is one of three systems that we have been watching across portions of the atlantic. all three of them now actually have names. as of yesterday, you recall, only florence and helene had names. isaac is likely to head towards the caribbean and perhaps, then make its way toward the gulf but that is at least ten days out from now and a lot to change. >> a lot to watch. meteorologist allison chinchar, thank you very much. synchronized soldiers, colorful flags. this was all part of north korea's 70th anniversary celebration. >> but this time, there were no
3:33 am
ballistic missiles on display and that is important. cnn's will ripley has details from pyongyang. >> reporter: north korea's military parade to celebrate its founding anniversary left no no doubt this is a military state and standing army more than 1 million and thousands of soldiers marching here along this square. one dramatic difference i've seen this parade versus the previous parades i've seen in this very square the nuclear program was not included. you didn't see the nuclear symbol and you certainly did not see the intercontinental ballistic missiles that are believed to pose a threat to the mainland united states. those were kept away. the focus was on the soldiers, themselves. kim jong-un did not give a speech, the north korean leader but his wife did speak. one thing he said that i thought was striking he told soldiers they need to prepare to fight a war but they also need to be prepared simultaneously to fight an economic to build things like
3:34 am
roads and bridges and buildings, to grow this country's economy. something that kim jong-un has said is his priority moving forward. something that he hopes the united states will be able to help with as he continues to work towards diplomacy with president trump. denuclearization talks have been very difficult because north korea is not displaying its nuclear weapons doesn't mean it's getting rid of them. u.s. intelligence have stated they don't believe kim jong-un tends to denuclearize any time soon. less than two weeks he is meeting with the south korean president and a letter indicating that the two leaders of the u.s. and north korea want to keep the denuclearization process moving forward and this page the thisry here suggests that north korea is making a change when it comes to its nuclear program. i'm will relationshipley report

39 minutes past the hour. new developments in the maria butina case. in a court filing, the government said they misunderstood text messages it used as the basis of that claim. butina is charged with failing to act and register as a representative of on a foreign government and she pleaded not guilty. joey jackson is with us now. this was a late night court filing on friday. what does this walk-back do to
3:40 am
the government's case? >> reporter: good morning, christi. it's problematic. when the government charges you, particularly the fbi, it's a very credible entity. the fbi works in conjunction with the department of justice and they present allegations and those allegations are used not only to draft a criminal complainant but for your detention status. remember that she is detained without bail. and the judge relies in large measure when making decisions about the case on the factual allegations that are contained. and so now to have a walkback of she wasn't trading sex for any type of influence and we misunderstood a text message, what else did you misunderstand about this case? she is charged with significant crimes at the federal level with her work with the russian government, the conspiring with the russian government so it's a problem. and, you know, it makes one wonder with regard to the strength of the case what other
3:41 am
errors might be in here. it's a huge disappointment when you're dealing with an agent as credible as the fbi and u.s. attorney's office. let's move to stormy daniels. in another court filing president trump will not seek to enforce that 2016 agreement we have talked about that settlement agreement between daniels and michael cohen. daniels sued president trump, remember, asserting that the agreement wasn't binding because he, himself, did not sign it. he is essentially agreeing to that now. here is the thing. her attorney michael aventi tweeted out i've. he is all hat and no cattle. so i think the point is president trump focus, the believed, he wants to be dissolved of the potential to be deposed. does the president's decision to
3:42 am
align himself with that agreement, does it absolve him of the ability to be deposed? >> it's an excellent question and here is why. i think this deposition prensens a grave danger to the president. he knows about the money, he doesn't know about the money, yes, i do know about the money. the stories have evolved over time. it's not fine when you unlawful lie to the press and say things at the back of air force one, whatsoever. when you sit for a deposition and swear under oath you could get yourself into problems. ask bill clinton about it, right? as it relates to his false testimony he had given to previously. the fact of the matter is sitting court deposition becomes problemat problematic. he has attempted to extricate himself by saying, you know what? i want out of this deal and in light of me saying that i'll get out of the deal, we should just
3:43 am
dismiss the. it may not be that simple. remember that there are counterclaims, at least as to cohen for defamation and a separate lawsuit for the president as it relates to defamation and another lawsuit talking about the conspiring of the attorneys. while it does render moot the president is saying i won't look to enforce the agreement. i think there is still peril for the president and makes it less probable he'll have to sit for a deposition i don't want to enforce the case but i think the pressure is still on him, ala michael avenatti with the separate matters linked to this case. the president has to find a way out. if he is deposed, i think it represents a problem for his presidency. >> joey jackson, always appreciate your insight, my friend. thank you. >> thank you. dallas police have identified the officer who shot and killed her neighbor. her name is amber geiger, a four-year veteran of the department. police also say the texas rangers have postponed seeking a warrant on manslaughter charges

book and how officials have swiped papers off the president's desk so he wouldn't sign them in order protect the count country. they are stunning accusations. >> they are. president trump is criticized the way he is depicted in the book and called it a scam. he calls woodward an idiot and woodward stays he still stands by all of his reporting. joining us is host of "reliable sources," brian stelter. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> we are looking forward to this interview this morning but important to put this into context when it was taped. our producers tell us this was recorded before the senior. >> yes. >> administration official op-ed was published. >> and before all of trump's criticism as well. so this is just the beginning of woodward's rollout and we will see him on cnn and pretty much everyone else in the days to come and that is why i think for president trump, this is only just begun. this news cycle, these questions about his fitness have been revived in recent days. this is only just begun to play
3:50 am
out. there is actually a lot in the woodward book we haven't heard yet even though the excerpts were incendiary the other day and kind of concerning. white aides believing the president is a danger to national security and even more we will hear from woodward and i think we will hear how he was able to pull this off and where he was able to get this information. in some cases, he has notes from meetings. he has copies of the memos that were made in these meetings. so it's not just woodward relying on anonymous sources but also woodward sharing the words of trump administration officials and i think that is going to be a shock as we hear more about that in the next couple of days. >> the one thing he did not do, i understand, he isn't talk to the president directly about that. is that right? >> that's right. and in woodward's tape recordings from the president last month, trump basically calls up saying i wished we could have talked, why didn't you call him? woodward catches him in a couple
3:51 am
