7:05 am
trump and a powerful gop senator, bob corker, is intensifying this morning. senator corker telling "the new york times" that trump's reckless threats could be putting the u.s., quote, on the path to world war iii. our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega is in washington with the latest on all of this. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. this is a stunning war of words, a senior republican senator going after the president bashing him publicly in ways even few democrats do. it is an extraordinary public rebuke of a sitting president by a member of his own party. in an interview with "the new york times" tennessee's bob corker blasting president trump saying he treats the office like a reality tv show and is so reckless the nation could be on the path to world war iii. corker said in several instances he's hurt us as it relates to negotiations that were under way by tweeting things out. and the hits did not end there. corker said it
7:06 am
tremendous amount of work by people around the president to keep him in the middle of the road. and that, quote, i know for a fact that every single day at the white house it's a situation of trying to contain him. it capped a day of stunning in-fighting aired for all the world to see. after corker made this jab last week -- >> secretary tillerson, secretary mattis and chief of staff kelly are those people that help separate our country from chaos. >> reporter: on sunday morning the president punched back on twitter saying corker begged me to endorse him for re-election, i said no and he dropped out. said he could not win without pie endorsement. adding, he didn't have the guts to run. corker disputed those claims and fired back tweeting, it's a shame the white house has become an adult day-care center. someone obviously missed their shift this morning. and corker says he is not alone
7:07 am
senate shares his concerns about the president. >> and, cecilia, on that note, corker had another quote that's really raising a lot of eyebrows from that article. he said i don't know why the president tweets out things that are not true. you know he does it, everyone knows he does it, but he does. again, this is a member of his own party. >> reporter: yeah, i mean he's essentially calling the president a liar there and corker is a vital vote for president trump. he sits on the senate budget committee. he chairs the foreign relations committee. president trump is going to need him on things, robin, and, david, like iran and tax reform, but this is just a stunning, stunning turn of events. >> it is, in the meantime, cecilia, as we watch the back and forth a fellow republican, we're following another major political headline involving immigration and the d.r.e.a.m.ers, 800,000 undocumented immigrants, children brought here by their parents and remember that dinner. you reported on it, the president, chuck schumer, nancy pelosi, the democratic leaders
7:08 am
on the drooemz without tying it to the wall. no longer the case? >> reporter: president trump is attaching conditions to this. he wants funding for a border wall and tougher immigration system and the response, you said it, david, from chuck and nancy as he calls them, this administration can't be serious. >> all right, cecilia vega with a lot going on at the white house this morning. thank you. we turn to the battle between the white house and nfl. vice president pence walking out of that colts game in indianapolis when the players from the san francisco 49ers knelt during the national anthem. to mary bruce on the hill with reaction pouring in. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, david. the white house seems to relish this fight and appears to want to keep it going, again, they are reigniting this debate over the national anthem. the vice president yesterday taking that stand to oppose players who take a knee and the president says, it was all his idea. as players from the san francisco 49ers took a knee
7:09 am
sunday, vice president mike pence staged a protest of his own. the vice president who flew from las vegas to indianapolis for sunday's game standing with his hand on his heart but soon after he and his wife abruptly left the stadium. then he tweeted this. i will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our flag or our national anthem but it wasn't an impromptu protest. an aide says pence planned to leave all along if players took a knee. and president trump is taking credit for the walkout. tweeting, i asked vp pence to leave stadium if any players kneeled. i am proud of him. many 49ers are known for doing exactly that. their former quarterback colin kaepernick started it last season and eric reid calls his actions a pr stunt. >> he knew our team and most players protest. he knew that we were progress going to do it again. >> reporte t
7:10 am
one democratic congressman saying after all the scandals involving unnecessarily expensive travel by cabinet secretaries, how much taxpayer money was wasted on this stunt? now, we've asked the white house about those criticisms and questions about the expense of the vice president's appearance, but, david, so far no response. >> all right, mary, stick with us here. i want to bring in van jones, cnn political commentator. you wrote a new book saying progressives and conservatives need to come to the table to understand one another. i want to ask in light of the new book what we saw, the vice president leaving the game early, the pool reporter who travels with the vice president didn't even go into the stadium was told the vice president might be leaving a little early leading to so many saying it's a political stunt. what is going on? has either side demonstrated they want to come to the table? >> it's crazy on top of crazy deep fried in some crazy. that's what's going on. at the end of the day you have now the president, the vice president pulling off a stunt
7:11 am
oppose a stunt protesting a protest. at some point you got to be done with the crazy. i am on a crusade against crazy. that's what the book is about. i've gone all over the country and been to red state, blue sta states, ap la-- appalachia and michigan. food fights in washington, d.c. and nothing getting done. i'm trying to get people back together. >> protests against protests. >> yes. >> instead of asking what's behind both sides. >> what's so crazy this started out as about police community relations. that's what it's supposed to be about. now we're talking about free speech for athletes and talking about who is insulting soldiers. nobody has insulted any soldiers so you could be dealing with substantive issue, instead symbolic protest and i think americans are sick of it. >> the president tweeting his support of the vice president on this. i want to get to the war of words with senator bob corker. this
7:12 am
republican but republican versus republican. reckless threats that could put us on a path to world war ii. we haven't heard these from democrats on the hill. >> that's what happen, though. when you start this division, it doesn't stop between the parties, it goes into the parties, we're headed -- listen, if we don't change directions we'll end up where we're headed and it's a very bad place. the reason i wrote this book is because i know for a fact there are issues that can bring us together. this issue we're going to be divided on. why do they double down on it? instead we should be looking at the stuff we could come together on. this addiction crisis is killing people across the country. in the book i talk about how that could bring us together. the criminal justice system. most americans don't want to be in a food fight every day. we can't even talk to our cousins anymore because of this division. we can come together, though. >> this has been some time we've all felt this way. long before the election. >> i'm sick of the crazy and on a crusade against crazy.
7:13 am
against madness in the country. it's a cure for the crazy. >> sick of the crazy is the quote and the book is "how we come apart". >> we have more in common than not so focus on those things we have in common. >> how about that. the las vegas shooting details overnight, the strip going dark marking one week since the tragedy and this morning, we're learning more about the shooter's deadly plans and past. a woman who says she worked with the gunman and considered him a friend is now sharing her story. our senior national correspondent matt gutman has more. >> reporter: this morning, these new images of a smiling stephen paddock obtained exclusively by abc news. grinning there under his arm is lisa crawford who says she was a property manager in a building he owned in mesquite, texas, for six years. >> he cared about everybody's finances. he cared about everybody's cars. he
7:14 am
cared about people. >> reporter: including her. those pictures show them palling around together with iconic las vegas hotels in the background. >> we e-mailed, text. we didn't like -- neither one of us liked talking on the phone. >> reporter: crawford who says she's spoken to police and the fbi about her friendship with paddock said he had a goofball sense of humor and was even generous to his tenants. >> the person that i knew, knew back then, they would have enjoyed living on one of his properties. >> reporter: but paddock remains such an enigma that the fbi executed another search warrant on his home near las vegas on sunday. you can see where they breached the garage in that nonscript house in the cul-de-sac. overnight one of the first police officers in that sniper's nest telling "60 minutes" that the shooter
7:15 am
note with him. >> the elevation he was on, the drop of what his bullet was going to be for those -- for the crowd. so he had had that written down and figured out so he would know where to shoot to hit his targets from there. >> reporter: officials reporting it contained numerical figures for wind, trajectory and distance, apparently meant to maximize his ability to kill the concertgoers down below. jason aldean who was on stage when the shooting began making his first public appearance saturday going on "snl" where he sang the tom petty classic "won't back down" ♪ well i won't back down. >> reporter: jason aldean back in las vegas living up to those lyrics. you see him there with his wife right in front of the mandalay bay hotel and visited victims at the umc medical center. now a sliver of good news this morning, of the 500 people wounded in that attack only 8 remain hospitalized this
7:16 am
robin, david. >> jason aldean, that was a powerful performance. >> on "snl," it really was. we move on to that new fallout for harvey weinstein. overnight the movie mogul fired from his job at the company he once founded over explosive sexual harassment allegations and linsey davis has late developments for us. hey, linsey. >> reporter: just four days after the bombshell report accusing him of sexually harassing women this morning harvey weinstein is out of a job. while the weinstein company initially said the embattled mogul would be taking an indefinite leave of absence from the company late sunday the remaining board members including weinstein's brother bob announced his termination saying it was due to new information about misconduct that has emerged in the past few days. the ouster comes amid a week of growing fallout from that "the new york times" report that describes several accusations of sexual harassment against weinstein from both employees and actresses including ashley judd and rose mcgowan. on friday, three members of the weinstein company's
7:17 am
nine-member board of directors resigned followed on saturday by attorney lisa bloom who tweeted that she'd be stepping down as weinstein's adviser. this just one day after she appeared on "good morning america" telling george her client's behavior crossed a legal line. >> this is textbook sexual harassment. >> it's gross. yeah. >> it's illegal. >> yes. >> reporter: this as another accuser came forward, a local news reporter who claims weinstein accosted her in a closed restaurant hallway ten years ago performing an obscene act while blocking her exit. this weekend she tweeted for those asking why i waited, you try telling that story ten years ago. only possible now because of women with bigger names far braver than me. even president trump pictured here with weinstein at a 2009 film premiere weighing in. >> i've known harvey weinstein for a long time. i'm not at all surprised to see it. >> reporter: but when a reporter attempted to compare weinstein's behavior with president trump'
7:18 am
distinction. >> did harvey weinstein act inappropriate? >> he says they were inappropriate. >> a year ago that video that came out -- >> that's locker room. that's locker room. >> reporter: and over the weekend mcgowan among those who received a settlement tweeted a picture of herself in her 20s with the caption this is the girl who was hurt by a monster. this is the girl who you were shaming with your silence. she wants more women to come forward. >> all right. linsey, thanks. >> appreciate that. let's go back now to ginger. ginger. >> snowing this morning from ft. collins to denver. the earliest snow in denver since 2012 so in five years and will end up with four to eight inches. select cities brought to you by oral b.
