4:04 am
president trump. the four-day nationwide manhunt came to an end friday at a florida auto parts store when federal agents arrested 56-year-old cesar sayok. >> he's suspected of sending more than a dozen pipe bombs to democrats through the mail. he has a criminal history dating back to the '90s attend concludes a 2002 conviction for making a bomb threat. an active supporter of president trump, sayok frequently lashed out online against democratic politicians. his arrest came on the same day that four more suspicious packages were discovered send to liberal billionaire tom steyer, cory booker and kamala harris and former obama administration chief james clapper. >> that followed the discovery of pipe bombs sent to nearly a duds other trump critics including former president barack obama and presidential candidate hillary clinton. david begnaud is in miami where cesar sayok is being held.
4:05 am
david, good morning. >> reporter: michelle, good morning. the amateur body builder and stripper is due in court on monday morning and we will be there. but i want to start by giving you a sense of an interview we got from a woman who manages a pizza shop here. she says mr. sayok was a model employee, showed up on time, people liked him, no worries about the but she says he was antigay, ant die black, anti-jew, but then she said i couldn't fire him because i didn't believe what he believed. >> he stewed a lot of hatred. he was definitely not right in the head. >> debra was sayok's boss at a fort lauderdale pizza return the. she said he often expressed extreme political views. >> he was real racist. he was vile. antieverything. but i don't know who i was
4:06 am
talking to nightly. >> reporter: when he was arrested on friday, it appeared he was living in this white van that was plastered with pro trump stickers as well as those targeting the political opponents literally. you could see pictures of barack obama and hillary clinton in the crosshairs of a gun site. nearby, a sign that says cnn sucks. each of them were sent pipe bombs this week. >> you take a look at these people. >> reporter: he posted videos of himself at trump rallies and then used social media to lash out at politicians. >> he was a little intimidating if you weren't a trump supporter. >> reporter: it was his erratic behavior and that conspicuous stlan caug van that caught the eye of markwise. >> he would strip down and shower right here every morning. >> reporter: never talked to anyone? >> never. >> reporter: never talked to you ever? >> never. >> reporter: more than a dozen other packages containing bombs
4:07 am
were also mailed, all of them in a manila envelope with six stamps and a return address of florida congresswoman debbie wasser m wasser isman schultz. on thursday they found one fingerprint on one of the packages then they lifted a dna sample. after matching that fingerprint and dna to sayok, the fbi used video security near a postal facility to identify him. an electronic device was used to ping and track his cell phone. it took a little over a day from the first fingerprint being detected to his arrest. it's not known if all the bombs have been found. >> there may be other packages in triansit now. we need the help of everyone out there, every citizen, every in law enforcement, everyone we've got to help with this investigation in the days to
4:08 am
come. >> reporter: you know, scary as this week was, no one was harmed. they say none of those devices, rigged to explode. so they're not sure if he just did a lousy job of assembling them or if he never really intended to hurt anyone and just wanted to threaten people. michelle. >> thank you. president trump says his repeated lashing out at his critics and perceived enemies is not to blame for encouraging the actions of the package bomb suspect, even though cesar sayok was one of his fiercest supporters. on friday, the president called for national unity but hours later he attacked the media and complained that the fwok cussoc thes was taki-- the bombs was t away from the midterm elections. here's weija jiang. >> reporter: president trump has been wavering between a softer
4:09 am
tone and angrier accusations. last night he sid the media is using the sinister actions of one individual to score points against him and the republican party. >> as you know, the suspect has been captured, great job. >> reporter: at a cig rally in charlotte last night, president trump congratulated law enforcement officials for a the wave of bomb scares and once again called for unity. >> everyone will benefit if we can end the politics of personal destruction. we must unify as a nation in peace, love and and in harmony. >> reporter: then the president immediately pivoted to playing the blame game. >> the media's constant, unfair covera coverage, deep hostility, and negative attacks, you know that,
4:10 am
only storve dri only serve tiv apartd unrmineba trump denied having a role himself. >> i did not see my face on the van, i don't know. i heard he was a person that preferred me over others but i did not see that. no, not at all. i mean, not at all. no, there's no blame, there's no anything. >> reporter: and he defended his frequently fiery rhetoric. >> well i think i've been tend to down, you want to know the truth. i could really tone it up because, as you know, the media's been extremely unfair to me. >> but mr. trump has not pulled back on twitter. at 3:00 a.m. on friday, he accused cnn, a recipient of the suspicious package of attacking him writing when i criticize them they go wild and scream. it's just not presidential. and just moments before the fbi arrested cesar sayok, he wrote, republicans are doing so well in early voting and at the polls
4:11 am
and now this bomb stuff happens and the momentum greatly slows. the president tried to clarify and shift the focus back to the midterms. >> then of course this happened where all that you people talk about was that. and rightfully so. it was a big thing. but now we have to start the momentum again. >> reporter: in fact, president trump is hitting the campaign trail hard with at least ten more rallies planned before election day. he was asked if he plans to personally reach out to some of the people who the bomber targeted, like hillary clinton and former president barack obama. the president says he thinks he'll pass. anthony. >> weija jiang at the white house. thanks. let's get some perspective on this and other stories. and for that we turn to leslie sanchez. good morning. >> good morning. >> we're in this hyper partisan adversarial environment and we heard the president say we must unify the nation but at the same time asked if he would tone it down.
4:12 am
he said he might tone it up. >> right. >> how do we make any progress here? >> do that it really requires a self-examination of just how harsh the rhetoric is. and that's just a connection that the president refuses to make. and until he acknowledges some degree of culpability or accountability within our tribe, i would say the republican tribe, then it's going to be very difficult to discount any type of fairness in this argument. and that's a challenge. >> as we approach the midterms here, it's not likely he's going to do that because he's trying to get his base fired up. >> the challenge with this is you used to say that people bit their tongues especially on the right, now they're just completely silent because the president wins, because the tactics tend to mobilize, activate a very disconcerted base. a lot of nontraditional voters who come out for the first time who feel the president may have sharp elbows, be very unorthodoxed, but he speaks his mind and they respect that. and more importantly, they respond to that and they turn
4:13 am
out in the polls. >> might democrats respond also in the idea that this has been going on and there's so much anger on both sides about these issues? >> reasonable minds would agree, and i would say women would agree. the tone needs to come down and there needs to be leadership on this, but we've yet to see that. there's that void at the polls, in our leadership, but the question is who's going to fill that void? because somebody ultimately will. >> we've been hearing about this caravan of migrants coming up, that's immigration, border security long before they would actually reach here. what are democrats and republicans for that matter seeing in terms of the rally of their base on core subjects like immigration, border security, and on the democrat side about the, you know, the economy, about healthcare, those key issues? >> right. well, look, republicans recognize that immigration is one of those areas that it's frenzied up and activated the base. some of that is based on
4:14 am
nativists fears. some of that is a distrust the congress, and the republican congress particularly to do anything on border enforcement because they hark he back to ronald reagan and are going to give amnesty to all these central americans and they don't want to talk about the 12 million plus living in the united states right now. so there's all these problems with the failed immigration system. but you rally on kind of these immigration talking points that get the base really motivated. that's a very dangerous area, but it has -- it has benefited the president. >> in this last moment's couple of weeks before the midterms there's a bat tle to raise vote enthusiasm. any interest there? >> i would say the democrats on paper have done an extremely important job of activating jun that come alanced out with repu gains that we've seen in 2014 and 2016. it's really down to those individual congressional
4:15 am
districts and all bets are off right now. who knows. >> all comes down to the election. >> ten days away, as you said. we thank you so much. the fall's first nor'easter is bringing gusty winds, heavy rains, and flood warnings to many parts of the east coast. it's also expected to cause havoc with the nation's air traffic today. kenneth craig is on the waterfront in manasquan, new jersey, where the weather is already kicking up. kenneth, good morning. sounds like it's kicking up so bad maybe we are missing kenneth craig at this point in time. we'll have to get back to him. >> reporter: michelle, good morning to you from the jersey shore. make no mistake, we are in the thick of this storm this morning. this is an area of major concern and this is one of the many reasons why. look behind me. you can see the houses here. right on the other side of this road right here is the ocean and these homes are totally unprotected. the wind has been battering this
4:16 am
coastline for hours, as you can see. and the rain started overnight as it did for much of the east coast as millions of residents experienced their first nor'easter of the season. gayle warnin gale warnings in effect from north carolina up to maine and some areas could see wind gusts today of upwards of 60 miles per hour. but it's not just the wind that's the concern today, it's also the potential for rain. many people are going to see anywhere from 1 to 2 inches of rain and in some places upwards of 3 inches. and while most of us will see just rain, some places in new england and in upstate new york could see winter weather from this, snow accumulation, and even some ice. flash flood warnings are in effect from where i am right now in new jersey all the way up to massachusetts and there is the concern, michelle, foraj di or gee the. we have.
4:17 am
>> definite sympathy for kenneth this morning. >> better him than us. let's get the rest of the nation's weather. here's meteorologist ed curran of our chicago station. ed, good morning. >> well, good morning. i'll show you the storm from my perspective here. we're taking a look at the storm on the east coast, our nor'easter here, and all the warnings that its brought around here. coastal flood warnings till 3:00 today, flash flood watches are up as well. very strong winds as we go to the north and the storm intensifies as we head later in the day. high wind warnings that are up together with wind advisories. and then to the north, that mix of wintry weather, not a whole lot of snow but it can give us some slippery conditions throughout this entire region as the storm rides north into sunday morning and into the cooler air here. here's what we're looking at as we look at future casts.
4:18 am
the storm rides up to the north and by sunday morning it's moving up into canada and finally moves out of here. it's a good thing the world series is on the west coast this weekend. some warm temperatures, 80 in dallas, 85 in los angeles. dana. >> meteorologist ed curran of wbtn tv in chicago. thanks, ed. it took 7 hours and 20 minutes, but if you stayed up for it, game three of the world series ended with a bang. >> he flies one in the air to left center. back at the wall and it's gone! it's over! muncy, a walk-off. >> yes, michelle is cheering off me. max sim mun muncy ended the longest game in the bottom of the eight teenl inning. it gave l.a. the 3-2 win over
4:19 am
boston. it's two games to one. muncy missed being the hero three games earlier when he shot up into the right field bleachers just a few feet into foul territory. >> it's been a dream. this whole year has been a surreal experience that is hard to put into worlds. getting a chance to play in the world series has kind of capped it off and then getting the chance to hit a walk-off home run, obviously there's not many words i can use to describe that. >> game four is tonight and the dodgers will try to even the series at two apiece. series game in 2005 when the white sox and astros duld for 5:20. the last two times these two met was back in 1960 teen.
4:20 am
>> i heard it -- >> you do? >> it looks like every fan stuck around for the end of that game. >> yeah. well, it was a world series again. that was great. everything was on the line and the dodgers are back in it. >> now the red sox have to decide what do pitchingwise, use their starter from game one on short rest, possibly good from someone who didn't pitch this year. it's crazy. >> a lot of decisions to be made. time to show you some of the other stories making news this morning. politico reports homeland security secretary kirsten kneel san h -- kirsten neilson say they're not going shoot at the caravan if they cross into the u.s. they say the alie sum seekers to be detained, but she warned that border officers have the a defend themselves. ng.com reporj.com reports ad

4:31 am
northern california because, as often happens on western lands, they're caught up in the crossfire of competing interests. john blackstone has the story. >> reporter: the helicopter over a rocky plateau in northern california is doing the work of of a modern cowboy rounding up wild horses, ending their days of running free. >> we are sending 700 animals down to corrals for adoption, training, try to get them homes where people can use them and ride them. >> amanda mcadams, supervisor of modoc national forest says she's received thousands of e-mails objecting to the roundup. >> removing horses from the land is going to make it a better situation for the horses that remain out there. for these horses, part of the reason they're calm standing behind us is they have od water. they're not having go searching for it. >> reporter: nearly 4,000 wild horses now live inoom for 200 to 400 to exist healthy in
4:32 am
balance with the land. >> reporter: the the land where they live is called the devil's garden, where the grass is often overgrazed by horses. how high should this be? >> there's some examples around here where it's probably 3 or 4 inches but there's just no vegetation left. and you can see how they're just dying out. >> reporter: because of overgrazing, this land has been closed for use by cattle ranchers who are now suing the forest service. >> a lot of these areas don't have cattle in them down. >> reporter: but the horses havard de-- have ardent defende. hand the average markets for are going for hundreds of dollars apiece. so when he they say they're selling them forun dollars apiece, we know they're going to slaughter. >> some of them could be sold

and say yesss! linzess. from elon musk to stephen hawking we've been hearing plenty about warnings and the potential perils of the artificial intelligence issue. china plans to become the global leader in ai by 2030, and one concern is how it might be used to spread authoritarianism ised i the article the ai cold war that could doom
4:39 am
us all. in the latest edition of "wired magazine". we're joined by coauthor and editor and chief nicholas thompson. nick, good morning. >> morning. >> that's a mouthful. first of all, i want you to bring us into context. you said in this article that after the end of the cold war conventional wisdom in the west came to be guided by two articles of faith. what were they and how did we get here? >> well, the premise of the piece, and the reason me and my coauthor started ton was at the end of the cold war it seemed like technology would favor democracy. as people got access to all information, it would be hard to have an authoritarian system. as people learn about the world, how could this kind of system stand? that was kind of the thinking for ten, 15 years, but what happened with the arab spring? and now what's happening is it turns out in this era of amazing technology, there are more
4:40 am
authoritarian governments and fewer democracy. soing so so something has gone wrong. >> so you're suggesting in this cold war that could be eminent that the chinese have two advantages. what are they? >> they have two advantages in artificial intelligence. one is data. because china has fewer restrictions on privacy, has much more data collected by its zit zens, everybo citizens, they have a lot more data to analyze. second, the relationship between the major chinese tech companies and the government. in the united states the relationship say little bit adversarial. you see google facebook, amazon fighting with the government. in china they work hand in glove. that means as ai develops, as this amazing technology developshdo a kinds of great things for all of us, china is able to have a national policy that says we are going become the world leaders in ai. we're going to use this to make our economy stronger, and we're going to use this to support our
4:41 am
values which include things like surveillance and certain tradeoffs that the u.s. wouldn't make. whereas the united states has to national poll poliicy on ai at >> how is the political issues impacting the ai and world out there? >> my hope would be that the ai community and researchers, u.s. and china, would integrate and we would have binational conversations about the datasets that are used, the values embedded in ai, the safeties that are put on the systems we build. but at the moment, the opposite is happening. and we're driving apart. and so the worst possible outcome, the thing that ian and i worry about, is a possible world in which there's chinese technology and american technology powered by ai and countries have to choose. kind of like during the cold war where we had to choose between the the soviet system and the american system. we're a ways away from that, but it's coming.
4:42 am
zimbabwe said we're going to build our next infrastructure with chinese tech and sclarns syste -- surveillance systems based on chinese tech. and you can see more countries making those choices. >> and the one that becomes leader in ai becomes the ruler of the world. that is not entirely wrong. >> it's not entirely wrong. the main advantage you get from having an ai strategy, it does lots of good things, makes your economy grow faster and makes your cities work better. that's the reason the u.s. needs to get crack on this. speaking of that, digital technology is transforming another part of our world. we know about smartphones and tvs, how about smart cities? up next, we'll see how urban cities are staying ahead of challenges from climate to weather change. you're watching "cbs this morning: saturday." you remembered that too.
