surrounded by 23 guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition. ainsley: we are now learning more about the victims and the american heros who risked their own lives to save others. >> i saw people in front of me get hit with bullets and my first reaction was to hop on my friends to make sure everybody was okay. >> there was a gentleman that was shot and he said can you help me. i put him in my car and i had like six people in my car. people without shoes running, just to get away. brian: as the country comes together in mourning, thoughts and prayers are pouring in from all around the world. we have paris where the eiffel tower went dark. the tel aviv where city hall lit up in red, white, and blue, big american flag. that is solidarity with the united states. they are no strangers to terror attacks. ainsley: it's just incredible as we wake up this morning. we know what we were all doing.
3:02 am
steve doocy got on a plane after our show and he is live in las vegas. good morning, steve. steve: good morning ainsley, good morning, brian, as well. when i did get on the plane i knew it was going to be a different kind of assignment because the people who were standing right next to me were talking about how they had five friends who were shot in that area between me and the mandalay bay. essentially that area right back there just past the stop sign and that stoplight was a killing field. for the guy up on the 32nd floor. and as the sun comes up, you will be able to seat two windows right there. there are some sheets or drapes waving in the wind. he checked in on thursday. nobody thought anything about the fact that he had 10 bags with him and in there all those guns and all sorts of ammo. he had made service for three days. nobody even noticed anything out of the ordinary. since then, you know, we have been driving around town a little bit.
3:03 am
aside from the fact that there is police tape right here where i am, you know, there is not an increase in security except around the crime scene itself. at the hotels they still check your room key to make sure you belong there, but they did that before the worst shooting in american history. brian: we still don't know anything about this guy except for his dad was a criminal that escaped from jail and he hadn't seen him since will. ainsley: he was on the fbi most wanted list. brian: we know he was a high stakes gambler and possibly had that room compsd according to reporters. adam housley went out to cover the oj simpson release and ended up covering this horrific crime. adam, what has developed overnight? maybe you could fill us n terms of who he is and some of the victims and some of the survivors. >> well, a bunch of things, bribe, i will give you i can requestly the headlines, 59 dead. 528 injured. still families that we have been contacted by via
3:04 am
twitter and instagram and other social media waves ha has still not heard from their loved ones. investigators are still here on site. a very tedious process. we have exclusive video we want to show you. we will show you that in a second. full screen graphics that we can show our viewers at home kind of gives you a perspective of everything. the first one shows the mandalay bay and concert area. we are showing from you ground level. we have been around here, of course, for the last roughly hours from the breaking news situation until now, the recovery process. now, the second one we have for you gives you this kind of the shooter's view of the fire. the map of the mandalay bay hotel the concert area and kind of the line that shows you from the window down to the concert floor. now, as you look at those graphics. now take a look at this video. this comes from a fox news viewer befriended online. he happened to be here with his family one year ago to almost to the day for the exact same concert festival. and he had taken video of
3:05 am
his room which ended up being the exact same room used by the shooter. look at the perspective as you can see. windows all around. there had been some speculation whether this was a two room suite or two separate rooms. we now know for sure that it was a two-room suite. and that's why the shooter was able to set up two separate platforms and move from one side to the other. the man that took this video is dr. jason huffman who is an orthopedic surgeon in pennsylvania. as we see this now this investigation goes on. there is still the heart break that so many are dealing with. take a listen. >> he was caught in the back of the head. just ridiculous. i can understanding one person has done something to somebody. this person went out and killed so many people that he didn't know. >> it's just unbelievable. you know, three quick points to give it back to you, brian. one, you might remember last night the reason we were tipped off the shooting
3:06 am
happened early an intern had been interning with us inside with her mother. i talked to her tonight. they haven't slept still since this happened. she reiterated to me when they were running and fleeing for their lives they tripped over a body on the way out. second thing is people are still looking for loved ones here. third thing is you go to vegas. it's cold. we had a couple hours down. guys i'm purchasing the jacket. i just mentioned he asked why i was in town i told him answered turned to me and had tears in his eyes he said i was there last night. the person next to me got shot. you buy a piece of pizza and the guy says stay safe. those things you don't hear in las vegas. it's definitely not only sad situation but a tragic situation that some people here are still dealing with and will for a long time. ainsley: very emotional for everyone. thank you, adam. steve and brian, we saw the picture that adam just gave us that video of the orthopedic surgeon that stayed in that year a year ago. yesterday we were looking at the two windows knocked out
3:07 am
they seemed far apart. i knew it was a big suite or a big room maybe two rooms connected at this point. an orthopedic surgeon could afford that this guy apparently to his brother was a millionaire. maybe the room was comped. he was a millionaire. he made a ton of money in real estate. he owns apartment buildings throughout the vegas area and town the mosquito. he had two planes several properties and loved gambling and seemed normal according to his brother. brian: we will see where that goes as they have the investigation. steve, how did they make that hole? they wouldn't say a hammer. they say a hammer like thing that he used to pop out that hole to make the room, to shoot from two locations within the same suite. steve: right, exactly. that's something that we noticed right away. because we have been in vegas before where when you stay at a hotel like that you can't open the window. if he was on the 32nd floor did he shoot them out? that wasn't the case. he had some sort of device to knock out the two windows
3:08 am
in the two parts. the way he did it then was even though it looks like it's flat, he had two views from the east and i believe to the southeast as well. and that's why so many people thought there were two shooters because he was alternating between the two holes in the windows in his suite. that's why he had all the guns as a backup. they don't know whether or not he was actually switching magazines or if he was switching guns. the police are running ballistic tests on them right now to try to figure all of that out. ainsley: that's erie to ear eere running back and forth. this guy doesn't even know these individuals and wants to just gun them all down. brian: right. it's 1100 feet away. he didn't want to know them he wanted to shoot them in the back of the head. walls it country music that spurred him on. was it a big gambling debt that spurred him on? did he snap? it's hard to believe somebody snaps and plots and plans to the detail he did. that seems like somebody very much in touch on
3:09 am
faculties. some say do a test on them. we used to test all the time for drugs on a shooter like this did something as horrific like this but we didn't. meanwhile steve, tomorrow, president trump will be by you in las vegas. yesterday, he came out around 10:45 eastern time and spoke to the nation. listen. >> we call upon the bonds that unite us, our faith, our family and our shared values. we call upon the bonds of citizenship that ties a community and the comfort of our common hume. our unity cannot be shattered by evil. i know we are searching for some kind of meaning in the chaos. some kind of light in the darkness. the answers do not come easy. we can take solace knowing that even the darkest space can be brightened by a single light and even the
3:10 am
most terrible despair can be illuminated by a single ray of hope. we pray for the entire nation to find unity and peace. and we pray for the day when evil is banished and the innocent are safe from hatred and from fear. may god bless the souls of the lives that are lost. may god give us the grace of healing and may god provide the grieving families with strength to carry on. thank you. god bless america. steve: do you know what? that is exactly what the nation needed to hear from the president of the united states yesterday. he is going to be here tomorrow after he visits puerto rico today. they are words and they are important words. but the people here in las vegas, they are still hurting. everywhere you turn you will
3:11 am
see that they have those electronic lights they can program pray for the victims. pray for their families. i know we are going to detail some of the heroes. there were so many guardian angels in that field back there just 36 hours ago who for one method or another were able to pull people to safety and carry people to safety and there are so many people alive today because there were people who, rather than just turn around and run as fast as they could, which would be the natural inclination, they stopped and they picked somebody up, or they dragged somebody or they put somebody on a police barricade and carted them out between bursts of gunfire and that is truly heroic. and i am in total awe. ainsley: one of those was sonny melt ton 29 years old nurse from tennessee married to orthopedic surgeon. there are their pictures.
3:12 am
he stood behind her, held on to her, and pushed her forward so that she would start running. they ran together away from the gunfire and he was shot in the back. she says that he lost his life to save her life. brian: you got mark, a firefighter and his wife carley preston they were there for the. jesse preston shot. mccurdy an l.a. fire captain, fire of a young kid managed to carry preston back to their room at mandalay bay and then he went back again to see if anyone else needed help so she could be taken to the sunrise hospital. sunrise hospital took over 114 people yesterday. that was told to the daily beast. steve: right. then there is glendale, california firefighter steve keys shot while he was performing cpr on a woman at the concert woman behind me. so there he is, rather than running, he was trying to help a woman and he got shot
3:13 am
in the back. thankfully, he is expected to live. ainsley: steve, also big and rich performed on the stage an hour before this shooting happened and this is beautiful. they encouraged the crowd to sing along with them as they sang god bless america. just before several people or dozens of people lost their lives. listen to this. ♪ from the mountains ♪ to the prairies ♪ to the ocean ♪ white with foam ♪ god bless america ♪ my home, sweet home. >> come on, vegas, sing it. ♪ god bless america ♪ my home, sweet home ♪

all together about an hour before he started shooting. behind that camera was recording artist and former pussy cat doll kaya jones. she was invited on the stage by big and rich. she joins us live on the strip. good morning. >> good morning. steve: it's got to be haunting for you to look at those images of those singing god bless america to know within an hour 60 of them, almost 60 would be dead. >> it's heart-breaking. it's gut wrenching, it's heart breaking. it's my hometown. you know, it was an incredible moment. you see the footage. everyone was singing god bless america. it was beautiful. and to think that that was some of their last moments. their last time singing that song. steve: pure evil was on the 32nd floor as the president of the united states referred to it. >> yeah. steve: but then the guardian

3:20 am
been raised. steve: on the go fund me page. people thinking about donating blood there was a line 8 hours long yesterday. let's start taking reservations. come in on friday. unbelievable. >> it's insane. but i think, you know, we have to rise from this. we cannot allow any kind of terrorism, whether it's foreign or domestic to take control of our minds. that's what terrorism is about. is to stop us from enjoying a concert. a unifying moment. a baseball game with scalise. anything that is a normal thing for american people. i think we have to rise above that and wind together now more that be ever for sure. steve: today las vegas takes that step. and tomorrow the president arrives. >> yeah. very exciting. steve: kaya thank you very much for joining us. >> i hope he has good words for us. steve: i'm sure he will. >> thank you. steve: the fight over gun control has already begun. the late antonin schal used

3:26 am
wouldn't have surprised your cad. >> i don't think the second amendment is the problem. i don't know what he would say about the need to restrict firearms any more than we already have. i think one of the points my father comes back to a number of times in his speeches is that human nature has an evil element to it. and he spoke about the holocaust a couple of times and the point he makes about the holocaust is that it didn't happen in some backwater country. it happened in germany, which at the time, was very sophisticated, very cultured. probably the most cultured nation in europe at that time. its people were still capable of unimaginable evils and committing the holocaust. and he used that as an example that we can't really -- we need to be vigilant about our morality and our values and we can't let ourselves back slide. and not to compare this to
3:27 am
the holocaust but it does kind of represent the same sort of evil that people are capable of. ainsley: what was it like growing up in that household. there were nine children, dozens of grandchildren. i know you are the youngest son. second to the last child. your mom is still alive maureen and they were married for 50 years. that's incredible. what was it like to grow up. >> 55 years. i loved growing up there. it was a lot of fun. we had spirited dinner table conversations. i had wonderful parents. and i had a lot of great siblings. i loved how big the family was. especially now it's great having that many siblings. brian: as staunch as he was as a conservative, he says can you disagree with a point of view but don't fight with the person. you can fight with bad ideas but not the person. that's why ruth bader ginsburg is the one who does the introduction. >> that's right. i wros the introduction. she wrote the forward, just kidding. it was great that she wrote
3:28 am
the forward. we are really happy that she agreed to do that a beautiful forward about their friendship. and they had a wonderful friendship. it wasn't just my father and justice ginsburg. it was also her husband and my mom, they had great social out offings together. brian: they couldn't be more polar opposites. >> very different but had a lot of things in common. they loved the same cultural things. they loved opera. they loved good food. they loved good wine. ainsley: she writes about being on a trip and family and picking out the same rug. going through all these rugs and throwing them on the rug. i don't know which one to choose. get that one. he got it in one color and she got it in the other and she says she still has it. >> episodes like that and working relationship was, too. even when they were on opposite sides of an issue as they often were, they pushed themselves to present better arguments and be better at what they were doing. brian: chris, when you grow up and your dad is known around the world and around
3:29 am
the country, it's great to have a dad with a steady job. with you it is also hard to live up to. he spoke at your high school graduation. had you to introduce him. what's that like because is he such a brilliant speaker? >> it was fun. i think i did a pretty good job of introducing him until i actually had to say his name and i mispronounced his first name. that was a little bit awkward because usually i just called him dad. didn't have a lot of practice there. i don't know how many people noticed that but it kind of spoiled the experience a little bit for me. it was a great honor to be able to do that. brian: how much do you miss him. >> very much. every day there is something i want to tell him about. it's still at the point where i have to remind myself that i can't anymore. that's pretty difficult. ainsley: my mom said the same thing when she lost her parents. hardest part was not being able to pick up the phone and hear their voice. >> exactly. yeah, my kids just won't to get to know him as much as i wanted to. ainsley: they will because of his book. all of his speeches are in

3:38 am
somebody essentially shooting out a window and shooting from the 32nd floor down into an event where there are tens of thousands of people. >> we do active shooter training all the time. but it's usually in a house or some kind of a building. maybe two stories. but, who is going to think that somebody is going to take 20 guns up to a suite in a major hotel and knock out the windows and start shooting down on people? nobody really thought of that particular scenario and now we do. we have to really start thinking outside the box on what some nut case is capable of doing here in las vegas and we have to think of those situations and we have to practice them. and we're going to be doing that in the months to come. steve: you know, on television, people are already talking about how is las vegas going to change. will they have metal detectors? will they do background checks. it's too early to talk about that, isn't it. >> it is. you have got to think las vegas has thousands and thousands of events like this one. they are indoors, they are

outdoors. we have never had any problems. we are one of the safest communities, the safest tourist destinations in the country. this guy maybe changed all that we're going to have to start thinking about some things that we may need to do to keep our community safe. but we need to balance that with making sure people have funnel when they come out to las vegas. steve: it will always be the world's number one tourist destination for conventions and things like that. i know people have been trying to donate blood here. have you overwhelming number of people who have done that there also is a gun fund me page that i looked at 20 minutes ago $3 million. great the way the world is opening their heart to las vegas. >> you are absolutely right. i am so proud of this city and the country and the world. i was down at the hospital yesterday. and had you people just walking up and down the street with a cart that had water in it and snacks and just they want to be out there to give somebody something to eat if they're hungry. they had to turn people away

police forces security acoustic. acoustic weapon sensor. one thing that would have suppressed him quickly maybe not stopped him entirely was to know immediately where the shooting was coming from. there is a weapon sensor that they say they use all the time in afghanistan and iraq. that quickly spins around and tells you where the shots are coming from points at it like a lays from her 1100 feet anybody in the military that's trained or somebody that's hired would be able to take him out. ainsley: that couples with maybe tents. i know bullets can go through the tents. but if the shooter were up in a high floor, if they wouldn't be able to see down. i was proud of the belodgeio and mgm teamed up to help the victims' families. brian: southwest helping a great deal. -million-dollar check to dana white. raiders going to vegas matched and nfl $50,000 to victims and their families. meanwhile 19 minutes before the top of the hour.

hates america with a vengeance. he its faces more than a dozen federal charges including the murder on the attack that killed four americans. o.j. simpson lawyers calling pam bondi stupid after she said the juice isn't welcome in the sunshine state. >> other than complete lack of remorse, he wants to come to florida and golf all over our state and i don't want that to happen. ainsley: simpson' lawyer says is he definitely moving to florida and has the right to do so but for now he has plans to live near las vegas. line brian meanwhile sunday's horrific mass shooting saw 59 people killed by gunman kille. ainsley: it won't most likely be counted as terrorism. you may ask why not? here to explain is judge andrew napolitano. judge. >> good morning. i know you are upset by
3:47 am
this. ainsley: i'm not necessarily suspecupset. what does the law says? what the is the definition of terrorism? >> when we began to have mass killings in the united states maybe 15 or 20 years ago, some by mad men for reasons like this reasons unexplainable and not understandable. some by crazies who did it for political reasons. some of these mass killings occurred in states that did not have the death penalty and there was outrage that a human being could slaughter all these others and not suffer the ultimate penalty. so congress enacted the antiterrorism act, which said terrorism is two or more acts of violence done in order to affect the policy of the government. that is for political reasons. it might turn out that this was for political reasons. it doesn't seem it so far. until the government has established that this crazy people killed this 59 and wounded the other nearly 600 for a political reason, in order to strike out at the government for to get a get it o
3:48 am
change its policies. we can't call it an act of terrorism. had he survived, this had he not killed himself, had the swat team captured him, he would have been subject to the death penalty because there is a death penalty in nevada ha. had this happened in new jersey or new york where there is no death penalty he would not have been subject to the death penalty. then you would want the federal terrorism act to apply. you would have to show the political motive. brian: they are terrorizing the people there that's the mothers important thing. >> two different terror, terror lori case c we all know what that is. brian: it's inconsequential his acts terrorize. it doesn't matter legally because is he dead. >> it would matter if there are accomplices and so far it does not appear that there were any. brian: we have got to get this woman back from japan. >> i think we. we have extradition treaty we have to charge her with
3:49 am
something. brian: we can't do that just to talk to her? >> well, if she doesn't want to come back voluntarily, the only way to force her back is to charge her with a crime here. not necessarily this crime but any crime and trigger the extradition treaty. the last time i looked at this, which was late last night it looked like they were going to be able to speak with her in japan. ainsley: i want to ask you about the guns. a lot of people keep saying they were legal guns but automatic guns since have been illegal since 19. >> 1934. he took an ar 15 civilian version of an m-16. it's the weapon that you often see the police carrying. it's a lock black rifle with two stalks on it. and he illegally altered it to make it automatic. you pull the trigger once and one round comes out. after he doctored it pull the trigger once and 400 rounds per minute comes out. ainsley: going forward did
3:50 am
can they make these guns so they can't doctor them? >> no. they can't. any person familiar with a gun would know how to change it at the time he bought it was legal. at the time he used it was criminal. brian: the question is did he have a license that would allow him to use an automatic weapon. because you can get a license in america to allow you to use an automatic weapon. >> it's a very difficult license to get. can you only get it from the bureau of tobacco alcohol and firearms because these automatic weapons have been banned since 1934. the police don't have automatic weapons. the military is not allowed to use automatic weapons in the united states of america. i would be shocked if this guy got the license. if that's the case the government dropped the ball in the bang ground check. brian: if that's the case we have you talk about that. thanks. >> you are welcome. brian: the trump administration urging americans to come together.

crazed lieu continue full of hate. >> it was an act of pure evil. brian: all right. here we are a fox news alert. latist on mass murder on the strip. we have so many questions still that need to be answered. 59 now confirmed dead and 527 are hurt in area hospitals following the worst shooting in modern american history. ainsley: police are now trying to figure out what led a lone gunman to open fire on a crowd of innocent concert goers from inside a luxury hotel in las vegas surrounded by 23 guns and thousands of rounds of ammo. steve: we are now learning more about the victims and the american heroes who risked their own lives to save others. >> you just fight or flight. some people around you are dropping. >> retired firefighter, he
4:01 am
came over to us. he could see we were all huddled around my mom. he said if you want to live you need to get out of here right now. we refused we said we will not leave our mom. he said i will stay here with your mother. brian: wow, that's amazing. thoughts and prayers are now pouring in from around the world. for example -- ainsley: in paris the eiffel tower going dark last night. and in tel aviv the city hall lighting up in red, white, and blue in solidarity with the united states of america. brian: meanwhile steve is in las vegas standing outside the hotel where the shooter called home for three days prior to the outrageous act that killed so many and hurt so many more. steve, as you look around, i still see flashes lights. is that just to keep people away from the tape. steve: it's still a crime scene, brian. it happened right back there. there is mandalay bay.
4:02 am
and between me and the mandalay bay, that's the area where the concert was. and that is where 22,000 people were. and, remember, in the very beginning they couldn't figure out is the shooter on the ground and that's what they thought. that's why the las vegas police who were responding were running towards the mandalay bay. one man had a revolver out. he didn't realize there was a guy up on the 32nd floor with all those high powered rifles. what's interesting is i was talking to some entertainers about, you know, when you are up on stage, do you ever think about that happening? and i was talking to one of the biggest stars in show biz yesterday. business yesterday. they told me they think about it all the time. he said if you don't use my name i will tell you a secret. the secret is every time i go up on stage, i have a gun on me. ainsley: wow. brian: you know, the thing is, too. you have a situation where, you know, ariana grande had a situation where her
4:03 am
concert comes to a close and then that happens. then you have what happened yesterday where people sit out in front. and you have to wonder at major events if you are a parent, not saying don't go, but you might want to make call to madison square garden to your local coliseum and wait a second what kind of security do you have there on the perimeters, for example, that was enough. but then they had to push it back now after what happened in manchester and now this is an open air concert is going to have to have people rethink it. ainsley: we all rethink how we live our lives because of this one guy now. now we're going to think differently when we go to a concert. are you these crazy lunatics that did that on 9/11 to all of us here in earthquake in. now going through security at airport. it delays all of us. everything changes because of these nut jobs. these evil, evil individuals. and it really just makes us all furious. unfortunately that's just the way it is now, steve. steve: sure, absolutely. but here's the thing. and i have been talking to some las vegas police who have been training for
4:04 am
years, you know, when they handle a big crowd like the one they had back there a couple of days ago with 25,000 people. they train for everything. they never trained for that before because they never thought about somebody, you know, if a window opens, then they train for that it's like around the white house. the secret service knows snows what windows open. if the president is traveling somewhere they have to worry about that. if the windows don't open, they are not as worried about that building. now, with this guy back there who has some sort of hammer device to crack open two payne panes of glass that would mean you have to secure every building in america. brian: no balconies either on that hotel. meanwhile four minutes after the top of the hour. ainsley: adam housley is following the latest on this investigation. is he on the vegas strip. is he neither shooting scene.
4:05 am
adam, you know more about who this guy was. >> yeah, ainsley. we also want to talk about what steve referred to. is there is still an ongoing active crime scene here. you are still seeing ambulances leave. each time an ambulance leaves no lights and sirens taking a body away. keep in mind over 30 hours from this shooting and still families don't know officially that their loved ones have been either seriously injured or killed here. we are also getting idea from eyewitnesses which we heard from as well about that concert, about basically the wide open view that this man had take a listen to one eyewitness who what it was like when basically she had no place to governmental i was scared the whole time because the whole -- the shooting never stopped. i mean, it stopped for like seconds and then it would start shooting again. you are out in the open in a middle of a field there is nowhere to go there is nowhere to hide. there is tables. gunshots can clearly go through a table. >> gunshots clearly went through a lot of things. people under the stage
4:06 am
inside beer trucks as well. this is a map of the actual area. it gives you an idea of where we are. if you have flown into las vegas basically at the end of the runway us mandalay bay hotel shows you across the street i have a ant lot where the concert area was longted. one year prior almost exactly to the day a viewer had been here, someone i became friends with had been here for the exact same concert. and because they enjoyed how cool their suite was, he took his phone out, like a lot of us would could and videotaped a walk inside that room on the 32nd floor that one year later would be the room that this gunman used. you can sees a you walk in, it's a two room suite. it's not two separate rooms. can you see the views, guys, clearly unobstructed two different angles right down on 22,000 people enjoying a concert only to be interrupted by gunfire and this mad man. back to you guys. brian: such a fascinating point of view. what are the chances someone renting the exact same
4:07 am
suite. adam great job. the question i get no matter where guy as horrific as it is, people can't get their red around who this person is, why he would do it. extreme gambler? did he actually lose everything? one of the networks reported that he had a big transaction they can't figure out if he got a big win or a big loss leading up to the attack 48 hours ago. ainsley: steve, his brother was interviewed yesterday and said that he seemed normal. his brother said that about him. said he was a millionaire. he had a lot of real estate investments. he had two planes and several properties and he loved gambling. steve: yeah. in fact, apparently he was at the mandalay bay and won some money before he did the shooting. so it's not like that's going to be a big problem. the other thing about him is he simply did not fit the profile of a mass murderer. twice as old. usually when somebody decides i'm going to go out
4:08 am
and kill as many people as i can they do it right then. they don't check in on a thursday. they don't sit around in a hotel for three days. ainsley: last of the concert sunday night. steve: completely different. brian: he had explosive material in his apartment, in his house. same explosive material that they used for the oklahoma bomber used. so this guy was just on. steve: ammonium nitrate. brian: armed to the teeth with everything possible. let's talk about how the white house handled it. they are staying out of politics to their immense credit. that's what bill clinton did after oklahoma bombing. >> i want to thank the las vegas metropolitan police department and all of the first responders for their courageous efforts and for helping to save the lives of so many. the speed with which they acted is miraculous and
4:09 am
prevented further loss of life. >> sadly multiple police officers both on duty and off duty were among those killed or injured. the gospel of john reminds us that there is no greater love than to lay down one's life for a friend. the american spirit cannot and will not ever be broken. we will come together, united as one nation. >> we pray for the entire nation to find unity and peace and we pray for the day when evil is vanished anvanbanished and innocent are safe. may god bless the lives of the souls that are lost. may god give us the grace of healing and may god provide the grieving families with strength to carry on. thank you, god bless america. brian: and the president will be there and he will be there after going to puerto rico today. he is going to be by you tomorrow, steve, in las
4:10 am
vegas. steve: absolutely. and, of course, is he going to be thanking all the first responders. and you know the first responders who were back in that field, they weren't just people who wore a uniform. there were a lot of first responders who were ordinary people. they had traveled to the event with friends and then suddenly they were the first responder. if they didn't pull their friend to safety or pick up somebody who had been shot, they would be out in that field. could have bled to death. so many guardian angels out there in that field just 36 hours ago. how many people are alive today because they were able to get to the hospital within that hour rather than waiting for the police to neutralize that guy with the gun on the 32nd floor. ainsley: you make a good point. right before -- an hour before, right behind where you are standing, steve, when this masked gunman, when that gunman did that to some different people. an hour before big and rich were on stage. you know them. they are friends of our show. we interviewed them a week or two weeks ago. they were on the stage and leading a sing along of god
4:11 am
bless america. the crowd went crazy. they all held up their cell phones to the light. they were singing back those very words. listen to this. ♪ from the mountains ♪ to the prairies ♪ to the oceans ♪ white with foam ♪ >> sing it now. ♪ god bless america ♪ my home, sweet home. >> come on, vegas, sing. ♪ god bless america ♪ my home, sweet mommy ♪ ainsley: wow, steve and brian. last night laura ingraham said that video is a gift to all of us americans and i'm sure to those families that lost their loved ones there knowing they were crying out
4:12 am
to god to bless this country just before they went home to meet him. steve: right. and you know, ainsley, one of the things that is so poignant about those images where everybody is singing is to know that an hour later 59 of those people would be dead. and 500 of them were wounded. how many dozens are still in the hospital right now? brian: meanwhile john rich was on last night with sean hannity and talked about that moment and also where he was when this whole thing happened. >> every show that we do, and this has been now for over 1,000 concerts in a row, big kenny and i like to invite up active duty and veterans and sometimes first responders as well. and then we always lead the entire crowd in god bless america. so last night we continued that tradition and did it again. sean, you look out there and there is 22,000 people there were people there from all over the united states and north america singing god bless america at the top of their lungs with their
4:13 am
phones held high with the lights on celebrating freedom and the ability to live as americans and sing together in unity. brian: he was actually at bar right afterwards when jason aldean was on stage and he came back and talked about that. all right. meanwhile, steve, stay right there at 13 minutes after the hour. we move ahead. the man who killed 59 people on a vegas trip stockpiled an arsenal of weapons in the hotel and at his house. don't call him crazy. rob o'neill, the man who killed usama bin laden joins us next. ainsley: and we are getting our first look at the victims, many of them turned hero in their last moments. look how young most of them are. the incredible stories of bravery straight ahead. >> the gentleman that was shot and he said can you help me? and so i put him in my car and i had like six people in my car, people without shoes running just to get away.

how much money do you think you'll need in retirement? then we found out how many years that money would last them. how long do you think we'll keep -- oooooohhh! you stopped! you're gonna leave me back here at year 9? how did this happen? it turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. we have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. let's plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. prudential. bring your challenges. >> we have new details about the shooter in the hotel room. he turned into an elaborate kill center. thousands of bullets stockpiled in bags. at least 23 guns and platforms that were set up
4:18 am
by the windows to view down on his victims. 32 stories below. what does this arsenal tell all of us? here to weigh in is former navy seal fox news contributor and author of that book there operator, the man who killed bin laden. rob o'neill. what do you think when you hear about all these weapons 23 semiautomatic guns that he has made in automatic weapons. what does that tell you? >> based on where he was position the of the suite, the height, how there were two different angles knowing he could get different firing positions and maneuver if he needed to. the weapons that he brought there the fact that he had either automatic weapons or semiautomatic weapons converted to automatic weapons. and by pod stable shooting conditions long guns with scopes. so initially he knows he can get the shooting started. he can move -- he has -- he knows semi -- a little bit of security to get into the area where the concert goers are. once start shooting tough to
4:19 am
get out. call a kill box or a fatal funnel. ainsley: how easy is it to convert these guns? >> for anyone who knows how to do it it's simple. the interior 4 to 6 minutes of doing a couple modifications. there is stuff i'm goin not goig to get into. device on the stock and trigger not automatic weapon. the definition of automatic one trigger poll go out as long as you keep it expressed. modifications where it does it for you. ainsley: can those devices be illegal? do they have to sell them? >> it's illegal -- i don't think it's illegal to buy them. you can't use them and modify them. there are so many loopholes people think they need automatic weapons. i disagree with that i don't think there is anything wrong with ar 15. use to hunt and home defense. get into ak 47ers. there is not a need for that, i don't think out there and very dangerous.
4:20 am
ainsley: what disturbs me is knowing this guy broke out two windows and is he running bang and forth to get different angles. >> you can't tell on the camera angles but two different positions. shooting at like 45-degree angles. people think they are safe from cover in one. running to another room in the suite and engaging from there. this guy thought about this. this begs the question had you maybe how you profile goes into a room 10 different suitcases 10 different times. not unusual for him to stay long periods. what's going on with the suitcases. so it's, you know, it begs that question. ainsley: unbelievable. i heard a psychiatrist earlier say he is so narcissist that he thought he was the cream dela cream and couldn't get his head around the fact that someone else might get a job ahead of him and so he wants to instill violence on other people. >> he is definitely crazy. ainsley: thank you, rob. thanks for serving our country. the fight over gun control has already bebegin. is that really what the people of las vegas think right now. bob massi has lived there

surely those of you was who live here that's the last thing you want to hear about politics, nra and gun control and things like that. steve: no kidding. ultimately there will be a conversation about gun control. >> yeah. steve: could it stop a guy from stockpiling all those guns up there and knocking out a window. >> anybody could get guns if they want to. it's as simple as that. steve: not only that if he hadn't used a gun they found ammonium nitrate all you need is fuel and have you oklahoma city bomb. have you lived here 40 years. before we just got started, you were talking about how right over here at the holy redeemer shrine and churches all around las vegas there were special unity. >> there was. steve: services last night at 7:00 to pull the town together. >> such a moving evening. church where i went and other churches around town, city hall had a prayer vigil last night. the town really came together.

4:28 am
couples. ultimately they made it out and made it home safe. but when i listened to what they said and how experienced it was crazy. then i learned later when i went to work, young girl works for me only 20 years old she actually was shear also which i didn't know. she left 15 minutes before because she was tired and had to go to work. her mother called her up where are you? where are you? she said i'm home i left early. she said turn on the television set. god was watching over her. steve: bob and i were just talking about how there is a go fund me page nationwide where i think we are up to $3 million. you were talking about fundraising the zappos said. >> zappos said whatever is raised about $2 million was raised. zappos said they will match whatever is going to be raised. thieves big companies have stepped up because they love las vegas and know what it means. very misunderstood city. it's like you get up and go to work. we get up and go to work.

4:34 am
yesterday. so police are definitely going to be looking into his back his computer. everything they are able to seize from the property. if we come back out live, i want to show you the house right here. this is where stephen paddock lived with his girlfriend police say. can you see the dark is boarded up. that's where swat had to make access into the house yesterday. i realize it's dark. i want to point out at the corner of the driveway can you see a pile of what looks like broken up twisted metal, that was the garage door as of two days ago. so, you can still see some debris out there left over from swat trying to gain access to the house. but the problem right now is we don't have a motive. nobody really knows too much information about this man other than the fact that he was a gambler. other than the fact that he lived in different locations including texas, including now nevada, california, florida. the neighbors on this side had a sign outside saying basically do not disturb us. don't ring our doorbell. stay off our property. do not block our driveway. the national right directly to this side has a long note posted on their door.
4:35 am
at the end of it says we do not know him. which is very telling. a lot of people say they don't know much about this man. his neighbors from florida when he lived there spoke. take a listen. >> if i waved to him, he wouldn'wave wouldn't wave back. he would not engage in normal conversation. >> he seemed like a normal senior citizen him and marilou other than his line of work was professional gambling. >> she was talking about his girlfriend who lived in the house with him. we reached out to a local gun shop in this town yesterday called guns and guitars. they sent us out a statement. you display seen it they said he was a customer. he did purchase firearms from their store. they did all the necessary background checks and everything was followed. they said he didn't really seem like he was out of the ordinary. so he seemed like a normal man. that's what we're hearing is he seemed normal. so police are going to be out here again today investigating. trying to figure out what they can to see if he has
4:36 am
any sort of digital footprint, guys. brian: we do know that the investigators have picked up computers which might be, according to one of the questions late last night. they asked a question were there any laptops or computers found in the hotel and they looked at each other and said we are still evaluating it looked like he had some type of social media or something going on in the hotel along with myriad of houses. that's going to tell us a lot. thank you. ainsley: thanks a lot steve and jillian. the people killed all look so young. brian: reminds me of 9/11. all these people in the middle of work. 25, 35, 45. all cut down when they shouldn't have been. these people at country music part. new country for the most part over the course of three days had no idea what fate awaited them. here are some of the stories to share. for example, steve, what about sonny melton. steve: he loses his life by
4:37 am
saving his wife. and shielded her from the bullets. keep in mind, you know, when you see the total number of people who have died, 59. that is such a big number there are 59 stories. and as the names come out, we would like to tell you folks as much as we know about the victims. ainsley: this family, this couple right here have just been married a year. they got married in 2016. so it might not have even been a year. he is a nurse and she is an orthopedic surgeon. and they are from tennessee. she practices at a hospital in paris, tennessee. she was running and he stood behind her, hold are her waist. he was shot in the back trying to shield her knowing that the gunman was behind them. so they were running away, and she said he lost his life to save mine. brian: all right. another story is mike mccurdy. he is an l.a. fire captain. is he a dad. he has young children. he saved his sister-in-law jesse presston.
4:38 am
after she was shot, he carried her back. then he goes back again and helps some more people to get into safety. ainsley: unbelievable then there is the glendale firefighter mr. steve keyes he was shot while performing cpr on a woman. the good news is he is expected to be okay. is he expected to live. steve: that's right. then there is a marine vet by the name of taylor winston and friend jen lewis found unattended truck and used it to transport people to the hospital in two trips. they transported two dozen people to dessert springs hospital medical center. and there were so many vets and members of law enforcement in attendance yesterday. one of the stories that came out midday yesterday was about how a number of people's lives were saved because there were some people vets, who had training. what they did was and it's a little on the gross side. but they actually stuck their fingers in the bullet
4:39 am
holes to stop the bleeding. and that is apparently something you do in combat. and essentially it was the same thing that they had come in to contact with in that killing field behind me right here in downtown las vegas. ainsley: he gave credit to the military. he said i would not have known how to do that. in the military we learn to go toward all the action and the violence and what's happening to defend our country. brian: they are used to hearing it you are referring to one of the stories mike pronk. he braved the gunfire. used his shirt to stop the bleeding of his friend ron who was shot three times. by the way they were there celebrating his 48th birthday. he believed he was told by the emt's, his friend is going to be okay. but one of the four wounded did pass away that pronk did help. this teacher kept going back and back and back. all right, steve, stay right there. 21 minutes before the top of the hour. much more to come. find out about the motivation and more on this guy and surviving stories

in las vegas. is it was just so horrifying what happened there. and some people hurt so grievously. so many people killed. it's just staggering. and what we worried about here in puerto rico is that the president might be diverted from his planned trip here to go to las vegas as we know now he is coming here first to the great rea lot of puerto rican people, i think, and then going on as he should to las vegas to give condolences and comfort to the victims of that massive crime. here in puerto rico, the recovery is uneven. the devastation so broad, so extensive here in the famed strip in san juan, it's stale mess. most of these beautiful condos still have no power. just 5% of the puerto rico can people have electricity. about half have water. one third have cell service. many volunteers are picking up the slack like this group in new york, national guardsmen and other reservoirist us whreservists whr

you can see the devastated landscape. this is a monumental disaster involving more people than any natural disaster probably in modern history. we arrived and the human chain was formed to get the food and water we had brought to the people in this needy area. >> problem delivering aid urgently needed aid is the fact that puerto rico has a gigantic mountain range right in the middle of it. many of the villages there are remote. they have not been reached in nine days. that coast guard chopper is bringing urgently needed water and food to the village. >> on the way back from the village, we were fighting, we were racing bad weather. that's part of the problem. it continues to rain on and off here in puerto rico. that's why the dams were

doing a better job of engaging the public to help us out. and you know, see something, say something campaign i think has to be reevaluated. the only time we hear about it is times like this. you will hear people say if you see something, call law enforcement, or call somebody. we don't tell people specifically, you know, what to do, what to look for. i have been in law enforcement for nearly 40 years. i'm suspicious about everything. can i notice little things that go undetected to the average person who doesn't live in that state of hyper vigilance like did i for 40 years. we have to be a little more specific and it has to be ongoing effort not just after a tragedy such as. this until we figure out a way we meaning in law enforcement how to better engage the public in helping us identify, give us clues. hey, something not right about this guy. something not right about this house. i bet as this investigation goes on, we'll learn that somebody saw some things or heard some things or something that may have been

relevant. brian: no kidding. >> went undetected. until then it's going to be a struggle. brian: 23 guns in the hotel. 19 at his house? they said he bought three or four at a time. that necessarily is not illegal activity but it certainly is eyebrow raising activity. >> without a doubt. if you look at -- they will look at the hotel video, obviously, the footage from the time he checked in to that hotel until the time this happened. and i bet you will see some obvious stuff that is obvious in hindsight. if we do a better job of of engaging the public. here are the sort of things you need to look for and ongoing campaign to do that. we spent a lot of money to see something, say something campaign. i wonder what the results are. ainsley: we look forward to what the girlfriend what she is going to say about this guy. his brother said he was normal. we were finding out last night that his dad was on the fbi most wanted list like a bank robber. there has got to be something there and clearly the guy has a screw loose

premiering this month. and, laura, this is baptism by fire; right? this is an overwhelming story. >> yeah. well, i think in seeing those video clips of the true heroes of the worst mass shooting we've seen in american history, you do remember in this time of great evil, there's an enormous amount of evil in the world that that really is the best of who we are as people. regardless of all politics, regardless of who you are, where you live in the world, this is what we're called to do. it's hard. i mean, to actually throw yourself on someone else's body is what military are trained to do. and i know we had a lot of military in that audience. but that's what we're called to do every day. and we forget about it in the left, right fight that we all -- referee are in ourselves. but we are called to do that on a daily basis and to see that those people under fire not knowing where the bullets were coming, first instinct, natural instinct is to run. but the truly selfless people who are physically able did a
5:03 am
lot more. that's inspiring. i was, like, what would i do in this situation? you would hope you would try to help other people. ainsley: steve, i think you have a question. steve: well, i was just going to ask laura, you know, out here, i arrived here yesterday when the sun was up, and it was a beautiful day, and it was the darkest day in las vegas history. and people are trying to figure out why did he do it? and when we were on air in new york, was it terrorism? unfortunately, that's the world we live in. you're trying to find a connection to isis. with everything bad that happens those days. and right now, it doesn't look like there's any connection at all. his motivate, we don't know at this point. >> people want to believe there's some explanation for this, and that's also the natural human impulse. but it could be as simple as this man flipped -- something inside of him flipped, and he -- could have been in his own way without -- it could
5:04 am
have been on the outside they're saying, oh, you seem normal, pretty quiet, but he liked to gamble. you never know what's going on in his head, especially in this day and age. brian: 64 year old very wealthy guy who loved to gamble, his girlfriend loved to gamble as well. and they do believe according to some local writers there, they think that room was comped. they say he's a high stakes roller. they believe he got those two rooms. they know each other, and they know him. and here's the other thing. bin laden, we knew who to hate. you know, you saw sandy hook, you knew them. living in his basement. we don't even know enough about him to hate him yet. we know what we did, but we don't know how to stop it until we know what he did. >> there are some things you cannot stop. we say, well, is there a government solution to every human problem? i would say no.
5:05 am
and i think we also should think about what we do on a daily basis as individuals to each other. i also think we should remember that we've done a lot to kick christianity, god to the occur be in our society and the way we treat each other and some government policy in our schools. we can talk a lot about climate change and all of these wonderful things in school. but we can't say a simple prayer, even have a moment of silence in a lot of schools today. that's just not good. we have to get back to the basics in human society, and i think our country is -- it's hurting in a lot of ways, and people on the left are upset. people on the right are upset. you have to understand. there is not a government solution for every problem. and a lot of people on the left -- oh, if we only did this background check. he would have passed the background check. if we outlawed machine guns, very difficult to get. so that wouldn't have helped. and i saw them on networks this morning, what
5:06 am
specifically would have stopped this? they actually have no constitutional answer. ainsley: we all have a cross to bear. we're all sinners. this guy, his brother said did not have a religion in his life. you wear a cross, i heard you last night. you went to st. patrick's to pray, and then i heard you say big and rich when they sang on stage, god bless america an hour before some of them were killed to go meet god that you said that was such a gift to their families. >> it was. ainsley: the president yesterday was consoling our nation, and it's so nice to hear our president quoting scripture. because i believe with you. we need to go back to that as families. i feel sorry for this guy because he didn't have god. >> it was some kind of deep vacuum. and without a moral sensor in our lives and, again, we're all sinners. we all fall. what do you compare your behavior to? brian: i don't know. i see a lot of people who
5:07 am
never go to church, don't crack the bible, and they're the greatest people. there's a lot of people out there watching that aren't really religious, you know? -- >> how has that worked out for us as a country? we're secular, humanism, and progressivism has supplanted the understanding that without virtue, there is no real freedom. freedom without virtue is chaos. brian: there's a lot of people that don't go to church or open up fire. >> people cease on that comment. we're talking about this individual. we don't know what motivated him. we're talking about in society as large, in public life where everyone's afraid to say what the truth is. the truth is there's evil in the world and the absence of a moral and virtual -- virtue center, lots of bad things can happen. not always, but sometimes. brian: steve, for example, if you look at his dad, his dad is an evil guy where reportedly he's wanted, he escapes from jail, he's just a terrible person.
5:08 am
this guy showed no indications that he had the genes of his father. so far, up until two days ago. steve: right. we don't know what the motivation is. but going back to your earlier point, laura, guardian angels. how many of them were in the field behind me after that guy shot so many people? i mean, 500 people are -- went to the hospital. 59 killed. but we were talking earlier about how these guys who were trained by the military knew to stick their finger into a bullet hole to stop the wounding to save a life. there were so many guardian angels out here 36 hours ago to save lives. and that just says a lot about where we are because when the built were raining down from that building, everybody was running this way. but instead, they were running back at the shots. >> and the images of the survivors of this hideous attack will take with them for
5:09 am
the rest of their lives the worst of humanity, the most grizzling images, and yet the best of people. in our own ways, we all live with this duality in our lives, and i do believe it's a time for us republicans and democrats to go back to first principles. government cannot solve every problem. brian: they can't stop hurricanes pirate it's all really sadly related. i will bring this up. i was stunned to see that hillary clinton weighed in immediately saying the crowd fled at the sound of the gunshots. imagine if the shooter had a silencer, which the nra wants to make easier to get. our griff is enough. we can put politics aside. stand up to the nra and work together to try to stop this from happening. really? stand up to someone using if this is an automatic weapon. he either altered that gun illegally or it was a semi automatic, he bought it
5:10 am
legally. >> again, politics of it are so inane at this point. but hillary clinton spoke before she knew any of the facts. you can't really put a silencer on a ar15. melts the barrel. it's not what she said it is. and immediately -- i was on the radio yesterday when this was happening, and all the people who actually know guns were, like, she doesn't know what she's talking about. the level of ignorance. and i found it to be despicable. if hillary clinton wants to run for president again and take the second amendment to the ballot box, i think she should do it. everyone who is upset who think we can pass gun laws to stop someone from killing a lot of people with a car, van, gun, whatever. they should run for office and make that point. and if that's what happens, i guess the courts will have to understand and discern what is really constitutional under our second amendment. ainsley: how about what happened -- the girl who worked at cbs, she was fired on monday because she put on facebook she was not sympathetic to the victims. she's only worked there for a year. they said this violated their standards, and she's no longer
5:11 am
with cbs. but she said i'm actually not even sympathetic because country music fans are often republican gun toters. >> well, number one, she's right about country music fans. a lot of second amendment gun honors. and i love how they responded. well, she only worked here for one year. imagine if she said something homophobic anti-immigrant. they wouldn't care if she worked there five minutes. it's one person. unfortunate for her. she's misguided. but, again, in the moment of evil, i tend to try to look past that, and i try to look to what really was amazing in that response, and i think a lot of men's, they're tired of this left, right all the time. it's despicable. hillary clinton's comments were despicable, saying we're not going to join a moment of silence because republicans aren't going to do anything. okay. don't join a moment of
5:12 am
silence. i hope that makes you feel better. i don't think it probably makes most americans feel better. brian: steve, if you listened to the president's comments yesterday and steve scalise who was just a victim of a shooting yesterday as well and the way he was received by both sides when he came back heroically in crutches, my hope is that the president brings that sense of spirit to puerto rico and then back here in vegas. do you think we might be at a turning point where politics will finally look as petty as it is? >> well, i think the president will honor those who lost their lives. but he's also going to thank this first responders, the guardian angels we were talking about a little while ago. but at the same time, i've already talked to a couple of lawmakers here in las vegas, and i said. okay. -- i was preinterviewing them during the commercial, and i said all right. there are people in washington, they're talking about gun control, talking politics. do you feel like that is appropriate right now? and he said you know what? no. for us to be on the ground in las vegas doing that before
5:13 am
people are even buried is inappropriate. and indeference to them, i'm with them. >> they haven't even removed all the human remains from the site. when hillary clinton was talking making the idiotic comment about the silencer. people want politicians just to take a breath for the most part. ainsley: at least for 24 hours. >> if they want to push gun control legislation, they can do it. we have a democracy. they can push it. they can make their points. they can very passioned. that is our government. but we do have a constitution, we do have a decision on the books, and i guess we'll see where the courts take any legislative action that comes from this. brian: right. just tell me how it relates to stopping the next one. because i have yet to see a solid argument on that. laura, thanks so much. meanwhile, 13 minutes after the hour. ainsley: brand-new video showing what a suite like the one the killer used looked like from the inside. we are live on the ground with that. brian: and what could have caused this millionaire gambler to snap.

fire on a crowd of 22,000 innocent concert goers? police piecing together clues after uncovering the shooter's arsenal of weapons in his cars and houses. adam hauser who was on the scene 45 minutes after the shooting started. and, adam, i heard you talk about how they used yesterday everything as a gurney. right there s freezer you were talking about in the middle of the street. they put somebody on that because it of the wheels? >> yeah. it was inside the event. it was used to sell ice cream or something cold, and it has wheels. in the grocery store, those are the back room of a grocery store, and we put a body on it and wheeled them down to here, and a car picked them up. steve: there were so many first responders here yesterday who weren't necessarily first responders by trade. >> right. we were actually standing right here. there was nobody here but police and people coming in all directions. and that obviously being where this concert was, and one of the kids, we ran across maybe
5:19 am
21, 22 years old, and he walks up to me and holds his arms up, and i said are you okay? and he said, yeah, this is not my blood. take a listen. >> just like every other fellow american here, and, you know, things happen, brother. you know, what goes on here isn't american. that's not what we're about, and this is not okay. other people run. that's okay. that's on them. i'm here for everybody else. >> how many people did you help? >> seven. >> how many people did you see down. >> how many people did i see down? probably close to 20. >> in various conditions? >> look, man, i'm not wearing any clothes up here. anyone who i thought passed on, they have an article of my clothing covering their eyes and covering their body. everyone i saw breathing, i helped, man. steve: yeah, how many people did that kid save? and then we found this image on the 32nd floor of trip
5:20 am
adviser. this was the floor that the shooting was on. you completely outdid us in the finding the amazing video from the actual shooter's suite. >> right. a viewer that follows me on twitter gave us this video. he was here one year prior for the same exact event. you can see the video, it's amazing. he contacted me and said this is the exact same room, and we double-checked to make sure, and sure enough, it is. you can see the glass that's just -- the massive front windows of glass that curls around, gave them two distinctly different perspectives wide open unobstructed views of down below. >> obviously, we're right near the airport. so you have to believe that he's going to come over to the scene, but we don't know yet for sure. steve: adam, thank you very much. you've done a good job telling us what has happened here. next up on the run down on this tuesday, what could have caused this gambler to open
5:21 am
fire on that concert crowd? a forensic psychiatrist specializing in mass killers takes us inside the mind of a madman. next. when you say you need a heart transplant... that's a whole different ballgame. i was in shock. i am very proud of the development of drugs that can prevent the rejection and prevent the recurrence of the original disease. i never felt i was going to die. we know so much about transplantation. and we're living longer. you cannot help but be inspired by the opportunities that a transplant would offer. my donor's mom says "you were meant to carry his story".
5:22 am
dale! oh, hey, rob. what's with the minivan? it's not mine. i don't -- dale, honey, is your tummy still hurting, or are you feeling better to ride in the front seat? oh! is this one of your motorcycling friends? hey, chin up there, dale. lots of bikers also drive cars. in fact, you can save big if you bundle them both with progressive. i'd like that. great. whoo. you've got soft hands. he uses my moisturizer. see you, dale. bye, rob.

5:25 am
petty has died. ♪ and i'm free. ♪ free falling. ainsley: tom petty passed away in the hospital late last night after suffering a haircut at his palace in california. he was only 66 years old. and the nfl holding a moment of silence for las vegas shooting victims ahead of monday night football. moments later, two kansas city chiefs took a seat for the national anthem. everyone on the washington redskins during the national anthem stood up. brian: all right. 25 minutes now after the hour. investigators still trying to figure out why a gunman opened fire with 23 firearms in his hotel. killing at least 59 people and injuring hundreds more. according to his brother, there was no clues he would commit such a horrific attack. >> no religious affiliation,
5:26 am
no political affiliation, he just hung out. we're shocked, horrified, completely dumbfounded about this. ainsley: so what goes on in the mind of a shooter like this as they shoot at innocent people? here now to discuss this is dr. michael, a top forensic psychiatrist who has personally examined a number of mass killers. doctor, thank you for being with us. >> good morning. ainsley: what happened? what's going on here? >> well, if you want to understand the killer, the most important place to start is with the victims. and what we can immediately see is that he had no relationship to the killed. a workplace mass shooter knows his victims. brian: and they want to see the victim. >> and they want to destroy, annihilate the workplace. the family mass shooter wants to annihilate the family. the criminal mass shooter wants to kill the gang. so it's a stranger mass
5:27 am
homicide. and it happens because of one of two reasons. a perish acting for a cause or because he wants to transcend notoriety and kill as many people as possible such as james homes. brian: who was the aurora shooter. and you worked on that case. >> yes. here's the thing. shooting for notoriety sake and nothing more is a young man's crime. and this is a 64-year-old with no dramatic mental illness, no major decline, someone who's intact. i think if we want to understand what's behind the crime, we should look at james hotchkinsson, the shooter of scalise because that crime was intended to be a spectacle and much bigger. what he intended to do was not only kill all of those lawmakers -- brian: republicans. >> but in doing so, he would have had to have special elections to replace all of them. and if it weren't for the security people who intercepted him, you had all kinds of congressman and
5:28 am
lawmakers in a dug out defenseless who would have been mode down. my point is a spectacle is either designed to cause some derivative impact, or to instigate some cause discussion. so the point is he's an older man, there is no definable mental history or decline, and yet it happens now. now, if there is a cause, there will be a manifesto, there will be a communication with the television, or other kind of media or social media. it will be out there. if there's nothing to necessarily tie him to a cause, then instigating is enough. and that's exactly what the parallel is with another older man's crime, just like the person who flew a plane into the irs. people who commit crimes for notoriety alone are young, and he's not. ainsley: what about genetics? because his dad was on the fbi most wanted list. was a bank robber. >> well, the genetics of psychopathy are, of course,
5:29 am
50% we inherit roughly. but psychopathy may be important in his environment. one thing you want to -- brian: doctor, hold on one second. we're splitting the screen with the president of the united states. he's arriving at joint base andrews and going to be arriving in puerto rico shortly. of course, he greets the military over to air force one. okay. go ahead. >> tying into the president, people who commit mass killings of folks that they don't know have to be detached. and he's killing them through a scope, they're dehumanized. here's the big take home in terms of what we can do to prevent. absolutely people who are gun enthusiasts and who are populists or nationalists in this country are demihumannized. they're demonized. i don't -- i travel all over the united states. i don't experience hatred. i turn on the television in certain media, and i see these people demonized. when you have a cbs news executive who talks about not
5:30 am
having sympathy, the point is his mind-set is that they deserve to die. and so a person who adopts a cause may otherwise be law-abiding, but he feels righteously justified that the end justifies the means. so we're talking now about gun control because he committed an over the top gun crime. doesn't mean that guns are the ideology, it's the idea of instigating and a means to the end. brian: let's step back a little bit. who are you shooting at? you say work your way backwards. what do country music fans and artists represent? >> it's americana, it could be guns. i'm not suggesting that i know the ideology. look, it could be that he had an issue with las vegas. but my point is because this -- if this is a national event, it's in las vegas. but my point is cause. cause is pointed out by what he says. he's going to either lay it out, or he's smart enough to know what this would instigate.
5:31 am
otherwise, one can't speculate. what i am saying is when you kill complete strangers and try to kill as many as possible, you're trying to create a spectacle. and when you're not a young person, you've evolved past the immaturity that says if i kill as many people as i can, people will think i'm somebody. he's more mature than that. brian: jeff felony says that this is -- country music fans for the most part are republican and the president by showing this type of sympathy is doing something for his base. are country music fans symbolic of republicans? >> well, i think that cnn's going to have to answer how they demonize gun enthusiasts and how cnn actually contributes to mass shooting. and i think that they do. but that's a side issue. i think, look, the president has a responsibility any time there's a national disaster, whether it's here or whether it's puerto rico to console the nation. i think what we can do is signify this as disgusting. there are no george zimmerman copycats. there are no donald sterling copycats.
5:32 am
we don't demonize mass killing enough, and that's why people feel they can do it for a cause. ainsley: doctor, thank you so much for being with us. brian: all right. straight ahead, police working to learn more about the las vegas shooter, as we are too. let's go inside the home. jillian will be next iginally di. in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. the name to remember. and her new mobile wedding business.tte at first, getting paid was tough... until she got quickbooks. now she sends invoices, sees when they've been viewed and-ta-dah-paid twice as fast for free. visit quickbooks-dot-com.
5:35 am
brian: all right. back with a fox news alert, the president reacting to a shooting, calling the las vegas shooter a sick, demented man. he. ainsley: he called it a miracle first responders were able to save so many people and that it could have been a lot worse. this as authorities now digging through the las vegas shooter's house. the search for a motivate is intensifying. and we are now learning more about his family's criminal past. steve: jillian picks up our team coverage. she is live from outside the shooter's house, which is about 90 miles north of where
5:36 am
i'm standing right now here in vegas. jillian. >> that's right. good morning. it was a much different scene here yesterday. we still have a police presence in this area, but you can see the house is dark, the garage door actually bordered up because police had to gain access into his house yesterday through that garage door, so that has been torn apart. once s.w.a.t. got inside, that's where they discovered 19 guns, thousands of rounds of ammunition with explosives in there as well. they're lacking through a computer trying to figure out the path of steven paddock. i want to walk to you right now about 20, 30 feet this way. i know it's dark. but i want to give you a sense of what this immunity community is like and how close these homes are one to another. it says do not block our driveway. stay off our yard. do not ring our doorbell. the house directly on the other side, if we can pull up that picture. they posted a sign on their front door, and i want to read it to you. because if you hear it and see it, it's pretty telling, if
5:37 am
you ask me. it says our community is doing its best to dealing with the tragic event that occurred in las vegas sunday night and the shock that one of our neighbors was responsible for the heinous act. now, at the end, it goes on to say we did not know him. we did not know him. a guy who lives 20 feet away. how do you not know him? that's the big question. how do you not have conversations with this guy? i mean, that's what the sign says outside their front door, and that's what's leading many people in shock right now, including his brother. listen. >> we're shocked, horrified, completely dumbfounded about this. there's nothing. the fact that he had those kinds of weapons is just -- where the hell did he get automatic weapons? he has no military background. no religious affiliation or political affiliation, he just
5:38 am
hung out. >> regular guy who be hung out. that's what people are saying about steven paddock right now. and that's what police are trying to figure out more as to who he was. what we do know is a little bit more about his family's background, including his father who was a pretty well-known bank robber back in the '60s and '70s. he was on the fbi's top ten most wanted list. we know that information, we're expected to learn more information once police really get out here, they're expected to get out to the house later today, dig through more, find out more, and hopefully figure out a motive at some point. but retain, guys, it remains a mystery to laugh people. brian: right. the computer is going to tell us so much, i believe. if he's going to prepare like this get cameras, tripods, platforms, get 23 guns, i'm sure he's got a letter in there or some indication of how he stands and get that mind-set. thanks, jillian. ainsley: and the girlfriend. brian: all right. meanwhile, steve is still in las vegas. we're back here in new york. an hour before the rampage, you saw this, steve before
5:39 am
jason aldean took the stage, big and rich who were here two weeks ago were actually on stage themselves. afterwards, they hopped on a bus and went back to their bar that they owned right in the area. but this is the moment that many are taking with them from that night. listen. ♪ ♪ sing it now. ♪ god bless america. ♪ my home sweet home. ♪. god bless america. ♪ my home sweet home. ainsley: that video is so touching, steve and brian because if you think as a parent, we showed the pictures
5:40 am
of the people who have been identified to no longer be with us anymore that were killed there an hour later at that concert. as a parent, i'm sure they have some peace and some solace knowing that their child was calling out to god to bless our country an hour before they went home to meet him. and that video was such a gift to america and those victims' families. steve: absolutely because as you look at everybody holding up their cell phones with the light on it in unity right there, you know, it was just one hour after that that every person there was running for their lives because somebody on the 32nd floor had a rifle aiming down trying to kill as many of them as possible and would wound 500 and would kill 59. john rich was on with hannity last night. why did they sing this song at each and every concert that
5:41 am
they do? this is why. >> every show that we do -- and this has been now for over 1,000 concerts in a row. big kenny and i like to invite up active duty and veterans and sometimes first responders as well. and then we always lead the entire crowd in god bless america. so last night, we continued that tradition and did it again. and, sean, you look out there, and there's 22,000 people. there were people from all over the united states and north america singing god bless america at the top of their lungs with their phones held high with the lights on celebrating freedom and the ability to live as americans and sing together in unity. ainsley: you know, steve and brian, what's interesting our last guest, the forensic psychiatrist said when you have someone who's young who does something like this, they do it for notoriety, when you have something older, they do it for a cause. and maybe he heard that song. his brother said he didn't
5:42 am
have a god so maybe this is all speculation. but that possibly could be the reason because he knows country musicians or country music fans are normally pro god and go to church on sundays. maybe he has a problem with that or had a problem with that. okay. y'all don't want to weigh in on that. let us know what you think. send us your e-mail. brian: well, we're about to find out more today as soon as we can get what is on his computers, and he had devices in his room, did he has devices in his house. meanwhile, president trump is on his way to puerto rico to speak leaving joint base andrews just moments ago. geraldo herrera has been on the ground for over a week. we're going to check in with him live. next so our engineers can solve problems with the most precise data at their fingertips. because safety is never being satisfied. and always working to be better.
5:45 am
5:46 am
familiar with. ainsley: that's right. much-needed supplies, and he joins us live from san juan. geraldo. >> hi, ainsley, hi, brian. one thing i want to say is that puerto ricoians on this storm-stricken island are delighted that the president and the first lady are coming this way. people were really worried. people were really worried that with the carnage, the mass murder that he would be diverted there. but he's going to go there, obviously, tomorrow, he is coming here first. one thing that is underreported, i think, in the media, generally, is how the puerto ricoian family is coming together. neighbors, family members, you know, others, ricky martin arrived yesterday. j lo has donated a bunch of money. people are coming together. the family helping itself to get up from -- to rise from the ashes of this devastation.
5:47 am
the watch what a guardsman, a national guardsman and his friends did from queens, new york. >> we came because we didn't think we had no water. these are the donations that came from new york city, and we're going out today to take care of that. >> the biggest problem are the poor, remote people. the people living in rural areas that are cut off. the united states coast guard mounting rescue mission among other agencies, relief efforts bringing food and water to remote places. this is the commander of the coast guard, captain eric king. >> coast guard is trying to assist to get an assessment of what else is going on on the island. so through our partners and with the puerto ricoian government as well as the federal government, we're launching our units and assets to try to make assessments and gain better situational awareness that assist the overall relief efforts.
5:48 am
>> the devastation is widespread and uneven. it's almost like the three little pigs. the people who lived in concrete houses generally fared pretty well. those with standard wood construction, okay. but this, the rural poor with corrugated metal roofs and, you know, basically shanties have been absolutely devastated. and they are most severely affected in remote towns up in the mountains where the coast guard delivered that shipment of food and water. >> part of the problem in delivering aid urgently needed aid is the fact that puerto rico has a gigantic mountain range right in the middle of it. many of the villages there are remote. they have not been reached in nine days. that's coast guard chopper is bringing urgently-needed water and food to the village.
5:49 am
>> after the visit, we flew back fighting bad weather or racing bad weather, we checked out the dams you've heard so much about. the dams that are in peril by the fact that they're heavy by rains. the extreme western end of puerto rico, one of the things we did manage to do going back to what i said about the puerto ricoian family rallying to help itself is that we managed to get a generator to 84-year-old, my youngest sibling, my dad is one of 17, one of the three who survived. she was delighted when her nephew craig got that generator going and got her some power. so you take joy in the small victories. still a lot to do. delighted the president is coming. back to you, brian and ainsley in new york. brian: all right. thanks, geraldo. a good understanding of what the 1.4 million are going through through the eyes of yourself and your family.
5:50 am
meanwhile, 11 minutes to the top of the hour. ainsley: lines around the block with people waiting to donate blood and hopefully save a life. how you can help. next hour. brian: but first, let's check in with sandra smith. she's getting ready to host here. >> hey, more than 24 hours now since that horrific scene played out on the las vegas strip. authorities now desperately looking for the shooter's motivate. former boston superintendent chief and police daniel on what police are looking for right now. plus, with over 500 victims rushed to area hospitals, medical staff in las vegas is overwhelmed. doctor marc siegel joins us. all of this as the president heads down to puerto rico to assess the devastation there. coming up on america's newsroom. nature's bounty knows healthy cholesterol starts in your gut. so we made cardio-health, an innovative way to support healthy cholesterol containing lrc, a probiotic strain that helps you metabolize dietary cholesterol. because we all want to be healthy for whatever comes next. nature's bounty cardio-health.

5:55 am
good stewards of the blood supply and be good stewards of that gift that these donors are giving to safe life. steve: we were talking about the blood to your donation, but we were told to make an appointment. you want people to come in a week from now, two weeks from now, all across the valley. i have to ask you because you were with this organization in colorado after aurora. also a similar need. but at the same time, this is so much bigger. >> this is so much bigger. i think the last time we saw something of a response like this was after 9/11. when you had across the country people lining up arn the block. and, again, as the blood center, we need to be a very good steward of that blood supply and make sure we are not collecting more than we can use. so we're asking donors to wait a few weeks or a week to come back and see us. steve: what does it say about americans that when something bad like this happens, we are
5:56 am
so quick to roll up our sleeve? >> it's incredible. i mean, to see the people coming out yesterday beginning at -- lining up at 2:30 in the morning and staying until 10:00 p.m. last night, it's pretty incredible. we also saw many volunteers coming out delivering food and water. it's just the greatest part of humanity seeing people together to save others. steve: well, if folks would like to donate, and this is across the country. call 877ubs hero or visit blood hero.com. julie scott, thank you so much. >> thank you. steve: you're doing wonderful work. >> thank you. steve: we will continue live from las vegas and new york city in two minutes.
