leadership saying something that's not popular but necessary. paul: all right. that's it for this week's show. thanks to my panel and thanks to all of you for watching. i'm paul guy go gigot. hope to see all of you right here next week. >> a fox news alert. we are awaiting remarks from vice president mike pence in las vegas as he addresses a city in deep mourning after the deadliest mass shooting? modern american history. welcome to a new hour inside america's news headquarters i'm molly line. >> kelly: i'm kelly wright. the vice president speaking at unity prayer walk. the show of strength comes nearly a week after a sniper shot and killed 58 people at a country music festival. dan springer is reporting live from las vegas with more details. dan? >> yeah, kelly, and this being the sixth day since this horrible tragedy. las vegas is really coming together. we are starting to see them working toward that healing. vice president pence as you
1:01 pm
mentioned is expected to speak within the hour. in fact, very shortly he will take the stage here at the city hall in las vegas. we have a lye picture showing you where it's happening to offer his prayers. this comes after entrepreneurship's visit, of course, on wednesday when he met with a lot of victims at hospitals. there are now a couple of memorials in the city, including a nice garden that was constructed in just three days with the help of landscaping companies and some 500 volunteers. they planted 58 trees and for each victim and there is a small wall full of pictures, two of those who stopped by today we met were from las vegas. the residents here who were at the concert when the madness began. >> it's beautiful honestly. like it was such a horrific thing and being able to like bring something beautiful out of it, it means so much. and being able to come here and take it all in and remember what happened but, still like honor the people that weren't as lucky as us. it's nice to have a place to
1:02 pm
come and do that. >> now, 1,000 fbi agents continue to work this investigation along with local police. they have pored over days of surveillance video. the shooter's electronics and trace recent movements still no clear motive. they do say 64-year-old stephen paddock was the only shooter and only person in that room in the mandalay bay hotel in three days. although there is a report today that when he got room service he agented as if there were others inside the room, perhaps to throw the security staff off. but that's more planning than motive. something a former fbi agent who worked many of these unsolved cases may never be known. >> what we're trying to do is apply logic to an irrational act. i can't think of anything more irrational than this. >> and there is already a lawyer who is representing some of the victims and saying that there will be a lawsuit, eventually, against the shooter, mgm, and the
1:03 pm
festival organizers. they have already filed a petition in county court here in clark county asking that all of the assets of the shooter stephen paddock be frozen during this police investigation. kelly? >> kelly: dan springer joining us today from las vegas. thank you, dan. >> molly: for more on this let's bring in john sheehan, a swat officer. thank you so much for being here today. i know this is a community that you served and you care so much about. today, a day of prayer. the vice president set to speak shortly. what are your thoughts here a week after the event? >> >> well, molly, i think that there are a lot of questions that are still unanswered as we all know. i think we know who did it but we are still looking for the whys and hows. some of the most of the hows have been addressed, but everybody wants to know a why. and unfortunately, as we keep going through this process, we may never know exactly why. and i think that can be frustrating for all of us as human beings to not be able
1:04 pm
to understand. this and i think it's hard to make sense out of a senseless act. >> molly: we heard on "fox & friends" earlier today from dan bongino. take a listen to what he had to say as far as motive is concerned. >> i think we all need to prepare ourselves for the possibility that this guy had antisocial personality disorder or what you would call, you know, what we call just normal talk a psychopath, a sociopath. genuine evil. and people who live evil lives who are v. no sense of empathy or consequence at all. i think we need to prepare ourselves that may be a possibility here. we may not get an easy answer. >> molly: what do you think of those words, his analysis as to what we may be facing as far as this individual and what he did? >> i think he is spot on. because we also have to remember that apparently our shooter's father was a socialio path/psychopath. had a criminal background and criminal history. you take that and you understand that that type of person raised this shooter.
1:05 pm
and so how can it be anything else but that? and how can this person grow up and expect any sort of a normal life if he was raised by that type of a person. and that may be where this ends up going because, you know, as this goes on, we are at the precipice of possibility that there is any other explanation for this other than this person was just a psychopath with sociopathic tendencies. >> molly: it's inexcusable act. there is no rational reason to commit something as horrific as this. >> goes without saying, yes. >> molly: right. so, when you are looking for an answer where can you find the comfort on a day when so many in that community are seeking comfort? >> unfortunately, i think we are all just going to have to come to terms at some point in time that this was just a very bad person that decided to do something absolutely horrible that we aren't going to have some sort of a evil mastermind,
1:06 pm
nefarious plot with other actors involved and that we ran into a serious bad guy that was able to hide his tracks. and carry out this nefarious act. and there really is no other way to make sense of this. and we just have to focus on not letting this happen again. and being vigilant as a society in america. >> molly: you know, as we wait for answers, there are a few clues, some of which we know because they have been announced by investigators. one of the things that stood out in the last week is that he had planned to survive. of course we know that they say he committed suicide as the officers were closing there on the room. but that there was some evidence that he planned to move on from that hotel room. one of the things they found was this car, the tanner right, the ammonium. all these materials in his car. could that have been the next destination? >> personally, i think from my experience, i've got pretty good experience with active shooters, and i believe, yes, that he had other locations in mind.
1:07 pm
i think that this person obviously knew at some point in time that they were going to forfeit their life. as soon as they began this, at the end game they were going to die but that he had other targets in mind. but after the initial shooting. after to being discovered by the security guard and shooting the security guard his options became limited getting to a, b, and c, and d. >> we know some were at a residence as well. do you believe then the hotel room was first domino. car second domino that a home may have been a third domino, that sort of thing? >> i do. because we have the van. it still has the ammunition, the explosives in it. remember, we didn't find the other weapons in mesquite or up in reno until after the fact. which gave him access to more weapons. more ammunition. he could have continued his rampage. again, we are also dealing
1:08 pm
with delusional personal that doesn't believe we are smart enough to catch them possibly or they will keep going and we won't be able to stop them they don't understand we know who you are because you rented the legality room in your name. as soon as you leave the property you are will become the most wanted person in the world. it personal probably did believe they could continue that rampage for some time and continue the killing spree. >> as we talk about the question why and the possibility this was a psychopath, someone with cycle dough problems. there number saw something, the i have would, the friends. we haven't heard a lot from these folksst case. he looked for his privacy. there didn't seem to be the red flag of violence. >> no. there wasn't, molly. really, when you think about that, who really could got in there and found anything out to alert us to the
1:09 pm
possibility of this? the only person is his girlfriend. she lived with him. that was the only person that he let even partially in to his world. and that's, i believe through the course of these interviews we're trying to find out -- we're trying to glean information from her just how far into his world that she was able to get in order to find out more about his motives. s argument has been made by the girlfriend sisters possibly sent away. she didn't know about this and that's why we ended up in the. they ever want to protect away when they are going to commit an act? >> actually what's common for an active shooter planning something on massive murder scale start by killing family members or killing the family pet. that's like the starting point. that's where they begin. so, for him to not kill her and send her away, i thought, was kind of an interesting point. i have seen with active
1:10 pm
shooters in the history and the victimology and methodology of active shooters are that they will often start at the home or kill close relatives before moving on with a rampaged other location. so that was pretty unique as far as i was concerned. >> molly: there have been a number of things that analysts have said have been unique 'this indicates. what else do you see as far as standing out this particular case is concerned? >> jest the person their age and their background and where they come from and the fact that this person had a lot of money and what possible motive would this person have to do this. you are dealing with a 64-year-old man. ihe is very patient. he took his time. did he his research. no military background but obviously knew a lot about things like tracer rounds and the explosives that he had stored away. and what type of weaponry to
1:11 pm
use and put together. this indicates a pattern of research and long, methodical tactics and training and looking to do something like this over a period of time. quite interestingly that he is able to too that without being anything discovered or anything anything is other than out of the norm. >> molly: does that counter to potential diagnosis of mental illness or being a psychopath or does that not have any ruling on that? >> i'm not sure because now we are getting a little bit out of my wheel house and we are talking about criminal psychology. you would think, again, that you would go back to the girlfriend and ask specifically while she is living under the same roof as he is what were his tendency? what was he cooking. if she did see something why didn't she alert it. in the neighborhood if
1:12 pm
something wasn't right why didn't you report it. we all have voices in the back of our head something isn't right and i need to tell somebody. in our society we are often so afraid to offend or get in trouble we need to do that frm that will deal over time who obviously is psychopathic and sheaing policies eke out some way. >> mr. sheahan we are going to take a moment and listen to the vice president in las vegas. >> distinguished members of congress mayor goodman. state and local officials, pastor hatch. people of las vegas, my fellow americans, my wife karen and i are honored to be with you for this las vegas unity prayer walk. we're grateful to each of you and we're grateful to the inspiration of your former deputy fire chief kevin chapman. kevin, thank you for loving the people of this community. >> yes. >> way you do.
1:13 pm
[applause] president trump personally asked us to be here to stand with you, to pray with you, for strength, comfort and healing in the wake of sunday night's horrific attack here in las vegas. in america, we mourn with those who mourn, we grieve with those who grieve, and i stand before you today on behalf of my family and every family in america to say we are with you. today we are all vegas strong. [applause] as the president often says when one part of america hurts, we all hurt. when one part of america struggles, we all struggle. and when one part of america cries out for help, we always come together.
1:14 pm
to answer the call. five days ago america awoke to the news of the worst mass shooting in the history of the united states. on a field not far from here, 58 people lost their lives and nearly 500 were injured. it was a tragedy of unimaginable proportions. and as the president said in his address to the nation, we're joined together in sadness, shock, and grief for the fallen, the injured, and their families. those we lost were taken before their time. but their names and their stories will forever be etched into the hearts of the american people. among them a special ed teacher who helped the needest named sandra casey. a policeman and a veteran charleston heartfield who coached a youth football team [applause] a full-time mom named hanna
1:15 pm
airliners, who was the ail airliners. a construction worker who dialed shielding his wife from harm. to the families of these and all our fallen near and far, we extend the deepest condolences of the first family, of our family, and of the american people. the bible tells us that the lord is close to the broken-hearted and this will be our prayer for all of you. we do mourn with those who mourn and grieve with those who grieve. but we do not grieve like those who have no hope. because heroes give us hope. [applause] as president trump said here on wednesday, in the depths of horror, we will always find hope nut men and women who risk their lives for ours. we find hope in the heroic actions of the las vegas
1:16 pm
metropolitan police department, the fire department, and all the first responders on that night who, without regard of their personal safety, rushed in to harm's way. their actions were in the highest tradition of law enforcement and their actions undoubtedly saved lives that night. [applause] we find hope in the medical professionals in this community, the doctors, the surgeons, the nurses, the emt's across las vegas whose swift professionalism, compassion and expert care prevented an even wider tragedy. [applause] and we find hope in the every day americans whose heroic actions in the face of unspeakable evil inspired the nation. among the heroes known and
1:17 pm
unknown, a mom who shielded her 4-year-old daughter with her own body. a father who helped guide others to safety even though he had been shot not once but twice. an off-duty firefighter who told his wife she had to run but he had to stay to help those in need. and an army veteran who rushed to the scene to find his girlfriend and her mom and ended up caring the wounded off the field. these were everyday americans. everyday from this day forward we will remember their selflessness and courage whenever we remember that dark hour. [applause] on sunday night las vegas came face to face with pure evil.
1:18 pm
but no evil, no act of violence will ever diminish the strength and goodness of the american people as president trump said on monday morning, our unity cannot be shattered by evil. our bonds cannot be broken by violence. he said it's our love that defines us today and it always will. as i read in my devotions this morning, love binds all our virtues together in unity. so in the wake of this tragedy we put on love. we find comfort in the knowledge that we are united as one nation, as one people, with one voice. united in our grief, united in our support for those who have suffered, and united in our resolve to end such evil in our time. [applause]
1:19 pm
so today we offer our prayers from our hearts to the heart of heaven. we pray for those we lost and for those they left behind. we pray for the injured and the metropolitan and women who care for them at this very hour. we pray for the people of las vegas and we pray for our nation. that the word sung by thousands before the shots rang out that fateful night might be ever more true that god would bless america [applause] that he would renew our unity and strengthen our faith, our faith that has he has ever watched over this great land that he, in this
1:20 pm
moment will again bind up our rooms. he will heal the broken hearted. and he will wipe every tear from our eyes. so may god bless you, may god bless the men and women of law enforcement and all our first responders. may god bless the fallen, the injured, and their precious families. and may god bless america. [applause] >> molly: the vice president mike pence there in vegas joining for a day of prayer there in a city that has seen so much suffering since that shooting that claimed 58 lives. the vice president talking about god bless america. that was a song he said was sang and something that he would like to see in the future there on the ground.

kelly: people near the gulf coast are bracing as hurricane nate is bearing down expecting to make landfall in louisiana as a category 2 storm later this evening. about 2,000 people have been told to evacuate from new orleans and now the state's governor is thanking president trump for signing off on a predisaster declaration. >> with respect to the president, we also very much appreciate the fact that last evening he signed a prelandfall declaration for the 17 parishes in south louisiana we had requested a declaration for. this will remain a night event. it is critical that everyone who has been told to evacuate or would like to do so that they do it now. kelly: our reporter, casey stegall is live in new orleans with more details about this. casey, it could be a tough night there. >> yeah, it really could. you know, we want to also point out that with this
1:26 pm
making landfall at night like a lot of these hurricanes seem to do, that poses extra risks because it's pitch dark out. especially if power goes out it's difficult to see water rising quickly and things like that. people have to be vigilant here. we are already starting to feel the bands of nate. it's odd there is not much wind where we are but certainly heavy pockets of rain at times. the water levels back here in lake ponch train are already high. and so that has a lot of locals concerned because when you talk about a storm surge potential and five to seven feet that water can be pushed this up way in the directions that we're standing. that's why these gates and our live systems that you hear so much about are critical. the gates have been closed here. and the reason why is if dean pans over that way, can you see a really beautiful neighborhood just literally
1:27 pm
over on the other side. so if the storm surge gets high, the thinking is that those gates would prevent the water from rushing down in those neighborhoods. now you also have the canals that lead into metro new orleans. and improvements were made after hurricane katrina. so the army corps of engineers closed two giant gates on two different canals. it essentially seals off the water ways to try and keep storm surge out of new orleans proper. then, of course, a storm like this impacts oil rigs and platforms out in the gulf of mexico, so far 302 platforms have been evacuated. that is about 41% or so of all of the platforms out there. and then you also have 13 rigs that have been shut down. that is about 65% of the rigs in the gulf.
1:28 pm
naturally people are worried about gasoline. we have seen long, long lines at gas stations all around, not just in louisiana but pictures coming to us out of alabama, mississippi, other states to the east that are also facing a direct threat with this storm. folks who are heeding the evacuation orders, trying to fill up their tanks so they can get out of town. people who are deciding to stay and ride it out. they are filling up gas tanks for generators and things like that. in case the power is out for extended periods of time. so, a lot of different concerns that people are worried about. you know, the rainfall here is not expected to be anything like we saw with irma and with harvey, but the storm surge is of great concern and that's why a lot of people are watching lake ponch train and all much the water ways so we do not have extreme flooding in southeast louisiana. kelly? kelly: yeah, casey, our
1:29 pm
meteorologist at the fox extreme weather center was saying that the storm surge could be anywhere from 3 to 6 feet. so obviously that's something that you, as well as everyone down there, will have to keep a look out for. stay safe,. >> we will. kelly: bring us all the details as you get updated. thank you. molly: as the white house moves forward to dessert phiing the iran nuclear deal, a very stern warning from that country's leadership. how will this effect president trump's approach to iran? former u.s. ambassador to the united nations john bolton joins us live next. ♪ ♪ e agent, and i know that we have accident forgiveness. so the incredibly minor accident that i had tonight... four weeks without the car. okay, yep. good night. with accident forgiveness, your rates won't go up just because of an accident.

♪ kelly: iranian president hasan rouhani not to dessert phi the 2015 nuclear deal. rouhani says the u.s. will be condemned by the world if it walks away from the deal. already there is speculation president trump will declare the agreement does not best serve america's national security interests. let's bring in john bolton,
1:34 pm
former u.s. ambassador to the u.n., senior fellow at the pressure medical center prize institute and fox news contributor. ambassador, thanks for joining us today to weigh in on this issue and share your perspective. before i get to this. let me state what mr. rouhani said. he said in the nuclear negotiations and agreement we reach i and benefits that are not reversible. he said that during a speech or a ceremony at the tehran university and then mr. bolton, he went on to say no one can turn that back, not mr. trump or anyone else. is i playing the united states? >> well, i think they have already played the united states for two years under the deal. the major terms of which they have been ignoring. and certainly in the negotiations that led up to the signing of it in the summer of 2015. look, rouhani's position is clear and logical and internally consistent. this deal is one of the best deals iran could ever have. of course they hope that
1:35 pm
nothing is going to change. and let's be clear, to amend the deal to quote, unquote, fix the deal as many people in congress and the administration are advocating requires iran to give up concessions that the obama administration gave to them. i rate the chances of that happening at somewhere close to zero. i don't think this deal is going to be fixed. kelly: you know, that's alarming to a lot of people, particularly people like benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister of israel who just several weeks ago recently at the u.n. general assembly stated that this is a bad deal. it's a bad deal for israel. it's a bad deal for the united states and he went on to say it's even a bad deal for the world. so, what alternatives will the president of the united states have? >> well, i think the president is being advised by senior administration officials into a badly mistaken course of action.
1:36 pm
you know, we talk about whether he will dessert phi the deal -- decertify the deal. that entire exercise is utterly irrelevant to the deal itself. it the deal is not in america's interests, the president should withdraw from the deal. that's how you demonstrate that we don't accept its terms and will not be bound by them. and i'm afraid the idea that you decertify and then let congress try and fix it, i mean, we're headed straight into the tar pits. it's not really for congress to set foreign policy like this and amending corker cardin or trying to amend the deal isn't going to solve the underlying problem. forget this deal for a minute, iran joined the nuclear nonproliferation treaty, nonnuclear weapons state. they have been violating that treaty for 20 years. they have been violating the obama nuclear deal. we ever going to fix it with a third piece of paper?
1:37 pm
are we going to bury iran in paper? is that how we stop their program? kelly: how do you stop their program? everybody has tried to do it. united states, europe. how do you stop a country set on satisfying its nuclear appetite? >> look, that is the key question and i'm sad to say a question that for 25 years three american administrations refuse to acknowledge. i think the ayatollahs are determined to have deliverable nuclear weapons. and i think we can chitchat with them for year 26 just unfortunately as we are doing with north korea. but if president trump stays in this deal in a speech that's now scheduled for thursday, the obama nuclear deal will become the trump obama nuclear deal. i think that's a big mistake for the president. i hope there is a chance he realizes that and withdraws from the deal entirely. that he was the edge way to get clarity. it's a way for the president to provide moral leadership and get to the hard decisions that have to be
1:38 pm
made when you face a military near fascist regime in iran controlled by theocratic extremists who are determined to have the world's most dangerous weapon. kelly: not to mention sponsors of terrorism. >> exactly. kelly: ambassador john bolton thank you for weighing in on that. we will continue to follow the developments of this story and see where it all falls out next week. >> thank you. molly: a fox news alert. hurricane nate is expected to strengthen until it makes landfall later on tonight. the storm possibly reaching the u.s. mainland as a category 2 storm. states of emergency have been declared across much of the gulf coast, including mississippi and alabama where residents say that they are doing their best to get ready for this storm. >> we're doing everything we can to prepare and hopefully help the islanders. what we can do with batteries, flashlights, ice. we have a generator here. so hopefully that will work. and probably be one of the only places open here for the next couple days.

molly: phil keating is live on the ground essentially interest in the path of the storm just outside of biloxi, mississippi. phil? >> hello, molly, the coast of mississippi as well as coastal alabama really could receive the worst of hurricane nate spharks rainfall totals and storm surge. rain amounts anywhere between 4 and 6 inches. and a storm surge that could reach 11 to 12 feet. the ocean has been pretty classy all week long. minimal waves. in the last couple of thundershowers it's really started kicking up first outer bands of heavy rains have been blowing through here. some of the street has been flooding on highway 90. the coittle highway. and there is great concern here specifically for that storm surge and that this was only barely supposed to be a category 1 for several days most people weren't planning perhaps as far as they could for a category 2. people were sandbagging at a
1:40 pm
location in biloxi, mississippi this morning. we covered about a dozen people there taking sandbags back to their house. trying to protect the doors from water coming in from anticipated storm surge. also, many businesses and homes have put up shutters and plywood on their windows and doors. but by far, not every single structure that we have seen has those up there. the emergency operation center of harrison county they are monitoring all their computers and television screens. it's all hands on deck. they are planning to close parts of the state coastal highway. a mandatory evacuation went into effect already for all low lying areas along the coast line. and the big concern, again is, storm surge. that is the most deadly aspect of hurricanes. hurricane nate is moving through very fast. 25 miles per hour. it's now supposed to arrive here sometime late this evening. everyone knows the worst is still yet to come. but it's not the wind, and
1:41 pm
it's not necessarily the rain that emergency operators are really concerned about. it is the storm surge. and so everyone is being really encouraged to get it to higher ground and get their now. molly: phil, you mentioned the speed of this storm it's on its way and fast. thank you so much. kelly: well, it's being called a small but significant break through. debate over gun control. a proposal that could lead an agreement between republicans, democrats and even the nra. plus, the future of secretary of state rex tillerson. we'll look at whether president trump's top diplomat can put a week of controversy behind him. >> trump has so far shown that he has got a lot of confidence in tillerson. and tillerson, despite all the rumors in the gossip mill has replaced reporting in washington, d.c.'s newspaper industry. despite all that gossip coming out from people, is he has largely been executing the president's agenda. ♪ ♪
