more victims of the worst mass shooting in u.s. history are laid to rest today. we will tell you their stories with a live update on the investigation from orlando. plus, just a few weeks before the democratic convention begins, hillary clinton just can't shake bernie sanders. so what does he want? meanwhile, secretary clinton and her husband bill clinton are celebrating the birth of their second grandchild. it is a boy. thank you for spending your saturday with us. i'm elizabeth prann. >> nice to be with you. hour two of america's election headquarters from washington.
10:01 am
as funerals begin for victims in the orlando terror attack, we are learning that omar mateen may have had more help than originally thought in planning and carrying out his attack. this as 23 victims are still in the hospital. funerals beginning for those whom he killed. steve harrigan live from orlando, where the fbi is still investigating. >> reporter: leland, part of that investigation is of surveillance video from inside the club dours of that attack. they are going through it minute by minute. it is reportedly extremely graphic video. you can see the gunman reloading several times. in it, he's described by one law enforcement official as cold-blooded during that video footage. also, his finances are being examined. apparently he sold his share in a partial ownership of a house to his brother-in-law several months before the attack. he also made sure to place his
10:02 am
then-wife, now his widow, on his insurance and also on his bank accounts. really both signs pointing to the fact this may have been an attack months in the planning, an attack in which the killer did plan to die. as you mentioned, funerals here across the orlando area. there were eight funerals here yesterday, five more today. local merchants donating the flowers and limousine rides for the families. some of those funerals really packed houses, thousands of people showing up. they have had to move some to larger churches. the city has raised more than $7 million for the family members of those killed, and in a slightly unusual move, the mayor here has said that money will be distributed directly to the families. they won't be going through traditional charities. he said many of the family members of those slain have immediate financial need, things like rent and groceries. so the effort is going to try to be transparent and to give that money directly to those who need it. back to you. >> live in orlando as the
10:03 am
investigation continues. back to you as news warrants. thanks, steve. victims of the orlando nightclub attack are being laid to rest as we reported. friday, families of the victims held seven funerals and four more are scheduled for today. one of them, 21-year-old corey james connell. family and friends say he lived each day with a huge smile. 25-year-old leroy valentin fernandez is being remembered by friends for his love of music and his love to sing. 21-year-old alejandro barrios martinez was hailed as an outgoing, always happy friend. and 28-year-old angel pedro was buried in his white lab coat and stethoscope. the family of british lawmaker jo cox paid tribute to her tireless dedication as a
10:04 am
mother and public servant today. a makeshift memorial has been set up in her west yorkshire district where she was killed thursday by a man wielding a knife and gun. her only sibling asked mourners to remember her very generous spirit. >> we have to continue in strength and solidarity in the days, months and years to come. as part of jo's legacy and to focus on how jo would say that i didn't which unites us and not which divides us. >> the man accused of the murder was defiant in court, refusing to give his name, shouting death to traitors, freedom to britain. cox was killed six days shy of her 42nd birthday. the orlando shooting sent a jolt through the presidential race, magnifying sharp divides between republican presumptive
10:05 am
nominee donald trump and his democratic counterpart, hillary clinton. but clinton's own party rival bernie sanders won't quit just yet. after the two met this week he doubled down on his vow to fight til the convention. here for some analysis, democratic campaign veteran joining us from chicago. hari, appreciate you being with us. you think bernie's leverage has peaked or he still have something to get out of this? >> i think the tone we have heard from senator sanders over the last week or so has been one of resignation around the campaign but still continuing the revolution he's called for in talking to his supporters. i think he's becoming much more pragmatic, thinking through what he wants at the convention but also what exactly is this movement that he's built going to hope to accomplish. you are seeing him lay out more specific plans and a more specific vision. i think that's where he's going to spend his energy and time.
10:06 am
>> he has certainly always said this is about issues, this is about the billionaire class, this is about the way he views politics changing. put bernie aside for a minute. news of the week obviously centered around the orlando terror attacks. you really saw donald trump try in one way or another to capitalize off of them as terror attacks. you saw president obama and secretary clinton in one way or another try to frame these as crime, gun control issues, these kind of things, mass shootings, if you will. which narrative do you think will play the best with the american people over the next couple months? >> you know, i don't think the difference was really between those framings. i think what's communicated to the american people this past week was really a study in temperament and presidential temperament which for donald trump, he's got the nativist vote down. what he really needs to do is shift towards a more general election electorate and audience
10:07 am
who want to see from him something more presidential and when they got instead was what he was demonstrating in the primary, which worked very well with republican primary voters but as we have seen this week, as the poll numbers come in, it's not working so well with the general election audience. >> he's down about six points head-to-head versus hillary clinton the past two weeks. he said thanks for the congratulations or something like that on a twitter note. want to understand something from you. i asked a trump surrogate this same question. talking to a conservative friend yesterday, i realize you will dispute some of these points, he says to me i believe hillary clinton is a liar, used the state department for personal gains, has the blood of u.s. diplomats on her hands, used a private e-mail server to try to skirt government laws. very tough things to say. he said the worst part about all this is i'm going to be voting for her. my question to you is, put the charges aside, how do you capitalize as hillary clinton on that sentiment among a lot of
10:08 am
republicans? >> if you are hillary clinton, i don't think you need to do much. this is really coming from donald trump, right? his lack of temperament that was on display this week, his inability to learn, to grow, and i think that's what republicans are seeing and fearing. for them, this is much more than about a single presidential election. this is a question about the future of the party. and its viability. i think a lot of republicans are just realizing that the party is nonviable with donald trump or a donald trump type movement leading it. >> we will see if trump is able to turn his poll numbers around in the coming weeks, down six points in the past two weeks, obviously been a couple good weeks for hillary clinton. hari, appreciate your time. thanks. come back and talk to us. >> thanks, leland. >> enjoy the summer in chicago. staying with the clintons, hillary clinton and family in
10:09 am
the headlines today not for the presidential race. she has the day off. but for the birth of her second grandchild. little more than an hour ago, chelsea clinton tweeted out an announcement that she and her husband marc had given birth to a little boy named aden. 20 minutes later, bill and hillary clinton released a statement saying quote, that they were over the moon. well, most grandparents are, regarding the birth of their second grandchild, and expressed their pride for aden to join his older sister, charlotte, into the clinton family. welcome to all. republicans kick off their convention in cleveland one month from today, but it may not be much of a party. new rumors this week that some delegates and operatives are launching a long shot movement to stop trump from getting the official nod. the presumptive nominee is holding a rally today in las vegas where alicia acuna is live. >> reporter: mr. trump is set to
10:10 am
speak at the top of the hour at the treasure island casino. folks started lining up, the line started building up at midnight. as you mentioned, mr. trump arrived here in las vegas as some delegates who are bound to him at the upcoming gop convention in cleveland who are now campaigning to convince others like them to deny trump his official nomination by unbinding themselves on the first ballot. this of course would require a change by not only the rules committee at convention, but a majority of the delegates. in an interview set to air on "meet the press" tomorrow, house speaker paul ryan said members of the house republican conference should follow their conscience in deciding whether or not to support trump. >> i feel as a responsibility institutionally as speaker of the house that i should not be leading some chasm in the middle of the party. that will definitely knock us out of the white house. >> they want to see smart. they have so many things they want to see that it would be
10:11 am
impossible. also it's illegal. >> reporter: rnc spokesman sean spicer said quote, all the discussion about the rnc rules committee acting to undermine the presumptive nominee is silly. there's no organized effort, strategy or leader of this so-called movement. it is nothing more than a media creation and a series of tweets. however, we did speak with kendall unruh, the delegate from colorado who actually started this, and when asked about it being called silly, she said well, we must be getting traction if the rnc is actually responding. she also said right now she has about 200 delegates who are committed to this. >> wow. thank you so much. joining us now is wally farris, from the trump campaign, and fox news contributor. thank you for joining us. i want to focus our discussion today primarily on the proposal of a muslim ban that donald
10:12 am
trump has proposed. first and foremost, he said he wanted to focus on areas where there is a proven history of terrorism. for someone at home who is looking to make a decision, what specifics is he talking about? what countries is he talking about, for how long would that supposed ban be in place, and is that legal? >> first of all, we cannot talk about specifics until he gets to the specifics but we can project that basically he is narrowing the ban from what it was at the end of 2015 to a ban that would target, this is a suggestion, he would need the agencies and congress, he would need to be in the white house first, but basically the areas where jihadists are operating. there are multiple maps of where they are operating, where they are in control, not just syria, iraq, pieces of libya, but also in nigeria, and also where the plots are happening as well. so the map is now focusing on where the actual jihadist activities are. jihadi airports or penetration of airports and of course,
10:13 am
there's this other element that's very important, came in the foreign policy short speech last week which is designating the ideology. so focusing on the areas, designating the ideology, that could help further in determining where the threat's coming from. >> you see members of the republican party, notably speaker paul ryan, really very critical of this proposed ban, bringing up the fact that does he have the ability to do so, does it go beyond the executive branch's legality? >> two points quickly. mr. trump himself said over the past few weeks that once he is the head of the executive, one of the things he is going to do is meet with the agencies. the other thing is he will engage in a dialogue with congress. many of these strategies will have to go through the processes and he's a man of institution but second, at the end of the day he started very large and of course, many people question that. he's now focusing like a laser
10:14 am
after the convention through the election, it will be more focused statements made on this issue and obviously, at the transition, and he's in the white house, it will be the government that will decide on all these issues and he will give the directions. >> as someone who is representing and advising the trump team, when you have someone critical of the ban saying look at this last attack, omar mateen was born in the united states, in fact, not even that far from where donald trump resides, one time resided, that wouldn't have preecvented this attack. what do you say? >> the ban he's proposing and very much narrowing to become focused on the idealogical level, is not the only tool. mateen and others are home-grown jihadists so there's another tool. precisely what i mentioned earlier, designating the ideology. removing the policy of the obama administration which said do not look at ideology. that is responsible for mateen. that is responsible for san bernardino. that is responsible for boston.
10:15 am
so you are going to use all the tools. number one, making sure no jihadists are coming. that's the goal for the ban which will be very precise. on the other hand, equip the agencies with the knowledge on how to detect it on idealogical grounds so it could intercept the jihadists way before they act. >> my last question is more of a personal one. is he concerned about his perception among the muslim community? there's billions. >> any candidate of course, of course mr. trump as well, is always concerned that all americans and of course people around the world because this is a very important position, will not perceive him as somebody separating but uniting. let me tell you one thing. over the past many months, many in the arab world are trying to figure out what would be his policy and are very much interested why, because they were not very happy and were very frustrated with the obama-clinton policies, egypt, libya, syria. the big question today is not the technicalities of the band, what are you going to do for us
10:16 am
in syria, quarter of a million, half a million people killed, wounded. these are the questions. >> all right. thank you so much. we appreciate it. >> thank you. we are standing by for touch-down. >> with that, astronauts are safely back on terra firma today, 186 days spent orbitting the earth with the international space station. an american, one briton, one russian hitched a ride back to earth on the soyuz spacecraft on a three-hour journey home. the capsule was charged with a fiery descent through the atmosphere. all three astronauts will fly directly back home. you remember back in april the british astronaut tim peek made history by running the london marathon from space. now that he's home, maybe he can finally get the teeshirt. >> he said, i think it took him three and a half hours. in that time span, he circled around the earth twice. which is really pretty
10:17 am
fascinating. >> not bad. there you go. see if he can do that again on earth. coming up, the oakland police department loses its third chief in a little more than a week as the city's mayor says her job is to quote, run a police department, not a frat house. a report on the sex scandal shaking up the force coming up. and the family of lane graves, the nebraska toddler whose trip to disney world ended with him being snatched by an alligator and killed. they released a new statement. we will tell you what they had to say. and as if it isn't hot enough, firefighters battling a blaze in california break for a heat wave. the latest on the wildfires out west. >> most of the people out on the line now have been working long hours under difficult conditions with very little sleep. although the fire has more than doubled in size in the last 24 hours there's been only minor structural loss and no civilian or firefighter injuries.
10:19 am
i had so many thoughts once i left the hospital after a dvt blood clot. what about my wife... ...what we're building together... ...and could this happen again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? i spoke to my doctor and she told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... ...turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless you doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding.if you hadn while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding,
10:20 am
like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you.
10:21 am
10:22 am
arizona. a fleet dropped water to try to battle the fire in the rugged coastal canyons. some rural homes have been evacuated. in arizona, a wildfire is now 9600 acres. the governor toured the area yesterday and urged campers and residents to be on alert and ready to evacuate. as of now, 600 firefighters are battling that single blaze. california's oakland police department is having trouble keeping a police chief, firing its third in just over a week amid a growing sex scandal. the city's mayor vowing to root out what she called a toxic culture within the department. lauren blazers joins us with the latest. >> the oakland police department was already dealing with a sex scandal involving more than a dozen officers and a teenaged prostitute. now racists text and an e-mail sent between police officers has
10:23 am
three police chiefs out in nine days and the mayor fuming. >> i am here to run a police department, not a frat house. i want to assure the citizens of oakland that we are hell-bent on rooting out this disgusting culture. >> june 9th, the police chief abruptly resigned. the oakland mayor appointed a new police chief, but he was removed wednesday after just six days. the latest police chief lasted only two days on the job before he resigned for reasons not related to the ongoing scandals. at a news conference the very frustrated mayor says the behavior she has seen in the police department is not acceptable for anyone who wears the badge. city council members are also angry about what's happening in the department. >> i'm stunned. and it's is the concerting how little information we are provided as council members.
10:24 am
>> for the time being, the mayor says there will be no new police chief while they search for a replacement. instead the city administrator will take over until things settle down. and this is just the latest scandal. the oakland p.d. has been under federal oversight for more than a decade. >> thank you so much. really appreciate it. coming up, heavy rains pounding the american southeast. we will show you the incredible forces of nature. and live picture of capitol hill. congress is preparing to debate one of the most controversial topics of our day, gun control. coming back, we have a look at why gop lawmakers might be ready to compromise. >> we want to make sure something like this doesn't happen again. everybody wants that. but as we look at how to proceed, we also want to make sure that we're not infringing upon people's legitimate constitutional rights. what's it like to be in good hands? like finding new ways
10:25 am
to be taken care of. home, car, life insurance obviously, ohhh... but with added touches you can't get everywhere else, like claim free rewards... or safe driving bonus checks. even a claim satisfaction guaranteeeeeeeeeee! in means protection plus unique extras only from an expert allstate agent. it's good to be in, good hands.

10:29 am
we have an update for you now from the orlando regional medical center. four more patients being treated for their wounds following the horrific orlando nightclub attack have been discharged. there are now 19 patients hospitalized. of those, four patients are still in critical condition, three remain in guarded condition. the rest are in stable. some said it would never happen, but in the wake of san bernardino, orlando and newtown, even some republicans are talking about quote, unquote, common sense gun reform. after a 15-hour democratic filibuster, a senate vote could come as early as monday on some measures. joining us now with more on the issue, former advisor to george w. bush, brad blakeman. brad, june 15th on facebook, at 1:12 p.m., you wrote i am for
10:30 am
reasonable gun controls. that's blasphemy in republican circles. >> shouldn't be. look, our laws should be revisited from time to time, especially ones that are so critical to who we are as americans. the second amendment is not so sanctified that it can't be looked at once in awhile. doesn't mean you are taking people's rights away. it means americans are safe in their ownership of guns. >> as you look at most of the proposals we are hearing on capitol hill, certainly the ones that have any chance of passing here, none of them would have prevented newtown, orlando or san bernardino. so is it worth having a debate about these issues that wouldn't have kept us safe in the past? >> we don't know what's coming. it doesn't really matter whether it would have prevented any of those attacks. but would it provide a protection for attacks in the future. perhaps it might. but reasonable gun control measures should be debated.
10:31 am
that's the whole reason why we have a congress, why we have a president. we shouldn't be afraid to debate these issues. but certainly if you are on a no fly list, that should be a signal. if you have a serious mental illness that involves violence, that should be an issue. registration should be an issue and reasonable controls on guns should be an issue. >> how do you square the circle for republicans who for decades have said no to any type of restrictions because it's sort of the old thing, if there's a chink in the armor there's a way to get through, to even go for something like background checks that have overwhelming background support, how do you all of a sudden politically back that train up a little bit? >> listen to the american people. we are seeing it this year. this is the year of the outsider. why? because people don't feel like government is listening to them. why should we be afraid to debate an issue? why should we be afraid to make reasonable change? >> you yourself said when you posted this you got a lot of pushback. >> ien jo i enjoyed it.
10:32 am
i was looking for that. >> you're not in congress. >> but if i was, i would listen to my constituency. >> over listening to the nra. >> absolutely. the nra is an association. >> why are they so powerful? >> they get a lot of donations and have a lot of members. god bless them, because if we didn't have an association like that in washington, we might be living under a confiscatory policy or maybe the second amendment wouldn't exist as the founders intended it to be. it provides a valuable service to the american people. no doubt about that. >> what do you say to fellow republicans like ted cruz who we saw earlier on the broadcast saying look, this is the wrong debate to have, we should be debating how to stop terrorism and how to defeat isis, not debating guns. >> we should do both. >> do we have time to do both? >> of course we have time to do both. look, there is no doubt this was a terrorist attack, the latest attack in orlando.
10:33 am
that's a given. the instrumentality was a gun. that's the given. the problem is this guy was on a terror watch list, he was off the list and of course, was able to get the gun legally. no doubt about it. but we should be preventing people who shouldn't be getting guns to have guns. it should be reasonable restrictions based on the threat of people who shouldn't be getting guns getting them. >> pushing back on that a little, city of chicago has some of the strictest gun control laws around. you basically can't buy a gun there. shockingly, though, all the criminals are able to get guns and they kill each other with unbelievable effectiveness on thursday, friday, saturday nights. is there a reason, really a thought that if a terrorist wants to get a gun that whatever measures are being debated on capitol hill will actually stop him from getting a gun? >> well, we have seen, you correctly point out that when criminals want guns, they seem to get them. that's not to say that we shouldn't have reasonable restrictions on other people who shouldn't be getting them. look, this is a multi-tiered approach. we have to -- it's a law
10:34 am
enforcement issue but also a prevention issue. we shouldn't have people who are mentally ill with a violent illness getting guns. we shouldn't have people on the terrorist watch list getting guns. there's a lot of common sense things we should do because it's the right thing to do. >> if nothing else, it's the brave thing to do, putting this on facebook. we are glad you did it and came here for our conversation. thanks a lot. we will talk to you soon. liz, what's coming up? plus, you are taking a live look at las vegas. that's the stage where donald trump is getting ready to address a massive and very excited crowd. our fair and balanced panel joins us to discuss all things trump after the break.

you'll know. so don't worry, mom. because you put this, in here. hum by verizon. the technology designed to make your car smarter, safer and more connected. put some smarts in your car. it takes a lot of work... but i really love it.s. i'm on the move all day long... and sometimes, i just don't eat the way i should. so i drink boost® to get the nutrition that i'm missing. boost complete nutritional drink has 26 essential vitamins and minerals, including calcium and vitamin d to support strong bones and 10 grams of protein to help maintain muscle. all with a great taste. i don't plan on slowing down any time soon. stay strong. stay active with boost®.
10:38 am
the strawberry pop romaine, mandarin, pineapple, blueberry, strawberry, strawberry... strawberry... salad with chicken. at panera. food as it should be. but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on all of my purchasing. and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... which adds fuel to my bottom line. what's in your wallet? major headaches for some gop leaders as donald trump's fiery rhetoric on gun control and his proposed muslim ban divides republicans, some who have
10:39 am
endorsed the presumptive nominee are now distancing themselves again at a time the party had hoped to unite ahead of next month's convention. so here for a fair and balanced and probably very lively debate, fox news contributor angela mcglowan, a republican who believes the best shot at the white house is a united front. conservative talk radio show host ethan bierman is also here. he just wants another candidate who is not trump. so ethan, i want to start with you. i think i know what your response will be but i will let you respond. when you see donald trump attacking members of his own party, what goes through your mind at a time when we are looking ahead to the convention? >> i just don't even understand it anymore. i thought we were past this. i thought he was going to turn the page and run differently for the general election. he's showing that he isn't any better and the problem that i see is everything that's coming out of his mouth right now, if you ever study the moral stages of development, he's stuck at
10:40 am
the egocentric stage one. when is he going to move past it? i want a president who is better than that. >> i want to get your response, angela. i know that you weren't necessarily -- you didn't like donald trump's tweet after the orlando massacre. so you are critical of him. but you are saying that he may not be a perfect candidate but republicans need to unite behind him is what you are saying. >> we need to unite behind our cause and donald trump is our nominee. but i do not condone any type of arrogant behavior when people were killed. it's time for him to be presidential. we already have an entertainer in chief with president barack obama with his celebrities. we need a leader that will protect our homeland. you know what? my mom used to say keep your mouth closed, keep them in doubt. open your mouth, remove all doubt. what we need now is a leader of our party and we need to have other leaders that have endorsed
10:41 am
him not to back pedal and walk it back. stand behind your endorsement. >> so far, we talked about tweets and perhaps comments made about other members in the republican party, but i also want to talk about issues because this week, trump has said that he would be willing to talk to the nra about people on the terror watch list. is trump veering from the party stance on guns and other issues? angela, that question is for you. >> yes, yes, and yes. i applaud congress for doing something after the massacre in orlando, but it's a moot point. any type of law you pass, they want to kill us so what makes us think they will adhere to our law? if you look at paris, paris, france had some of the most restrictive gun laws in europe but that did not stop isis from acquiring their weapons for their war. that is bombs, guns and grenades. so yes, donald trump is being more divisive by not standing by the second amendment because if you are on the no fly list or no
10:42 am
fly zone, that means they didn't prove anything, you are a terrorist, that means they're watching you. so people on those lists should be able to have access to guns. >> ethan, what's your response? perhaps when you hear comments like that, you think perhaps the opportunity for another candidate to come in. >> i don't know that the republicans have any feasibility for another candidate but i want to agree with angela. you are totally right in saying -- she's right in that it was radical islam, call it what it is, they will find whatever means necessary to attack us. the president is absolutely wrong when he says it's just a label, what do labels matter. if labels don't matter, why does he use the assault weapons term? >> i want to shift the conversation to another topic. we have been seeing a number of anti-trump delegates creating an alliance. ethan, i want to direct this to you. i do want to tackle it. is there any possibility of them gaining enough traction where we can see another candidate?
10:43 am
you had said that you don't think so. but why are they working so hard to do this at this point? >> well, because of exactly what i have been saying, which is donald trump is not showing leadership to be presidential. he's very successful on the business side, but we need a president who leads the entire nation, not just 35% of the people who support him. we need him to lead all of us. this is a very dangerous time in world history. we need somebody with a vision who can communicate it, get us all behind it and he's not doing that. he's dividing us, not uniting us. so the opportunity -- >> i agree with you. we do need someone who will unite us. we need to stay away from race, we need to stay away from actual religion. what we need to talk about are the issues. i wanted to add something to what i said earlier. people on that list should not have their constitutional rights taken away from them, instead of access to guns they should be able to have the second
10:44 am
amendment for them as well as any average american. >> ethan, i will give you the last word. >> i think that we need to discover a way, recognizing the fifth amendment and due process, while still saying if you have been investigated by the fbi, three different times, we need to go look back at what philip hainey said that our government is not allowing the fbi and cia to discuss what is involved in radical islam. we need to address that, which then makes this whole issue of investigating terrorists like what happened last week in orlando more feasible so we can stop them ahead of time. >> thank you both so much for joining us and even at one point you agreed. it's a successful day for all of us. thank you. have a great saturday. wild weather in georgia. this doesn't look entirely wild. heavy rains continue to pound around savannah.
10:45 am
