But news out of kentucky should make the Republican Senate leader, too slow and very, very unsteady. We begin tonight with a story that i honestly and frankly did not think would be topping our broadcast. Today ariel castro was was sentenced to life in prison plus 1,000 years after pleading guilty to 937 counts including rape and kidnapping of three women, two of whom an suggested as teenagers and one of whom gave birth to his daughter during captivity. This may have been a routine procedure for a massively heinous serious of attacks until ariel castro spoke. I couldnt really believe my ears. This wasnt just a monster trying to ex explain and justify himself. This was a teachable moment, raw expression of the most veurulen find. Every rapist, stalker abuser who passes through the criminal Justice System or missed by the criminal Justice System. A warning, some of this may be difficult to listen to. Im 100 wrong. Youre trying to say im a violent person. Im not a violent person. Most of
Top of the hour, im poppy harlow in new york. We begin with breaking news on the benghazi terror attack investigation. A staffer fired from the House Select Committee looking into that deadly 2012 attack on that u. S. Diplomatic compound in benghazi, libya. That attack that took four american lives including ambassador stevens. Joining me now, cnn Investigative Reporter chris frates in washington. What are you learning . A former staffer investigating the benghazi attacks says the panels probe has become a politically motivated inquiry targeting former secretary of state Hillary Clinton. Its a politically explosive charge sure to resonate on the campaign trail as clinton runs for president. Major bradley poliska, an air force reserve intelligence officer, says that after news broke earlier this year that clinton used a private email server, the republicancontrolled committee set its sights almost exclusively on clinton. Paliska says he was fired as a Committee Investigator because he r
Good friend orlando mayor buddy dyer and icon conveyed to him deepest condolences of the american people. This could be any of our communities. I said whatever help he and orlando need, they are going to get it. As a country, we will be there for the people of orlando today, tomorrow, and for all the days to come. We also express our profound gratitude to all the police and First Responders who rushed to harms way. Their courage and professionalism saved lives and kept the carnage from being even worse. Its the kind of sacrifice our Law Enforcement professionals make every day for all of us and we can never thank them enough. This is an especially heartbreaking day for our friends, our fellow americans who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans gender. The shooter targeted a nightclub where people came together to be with friends to dance, sing and to live. The place where they were attacked is more than a nightclub. It is a place of solidarity and empowerment where people have come toget
Support and endorse our speaker of the house, paul ryan. I hold the highest esteem for senator john mccain. And i fully support and endorse his reelection. Very important. I also fully support and endorse senator kelly ayotte of new hampshire. Good morning, and welcome to am joy. Donald trump last night, reading off the paper. Finally endorsed several key members of his own party in the reelection bids. Which normally wouldnt be news, except he has been refusing to do it. Without question, a terrible week for the Trump Campaign, with party leaders, even reportedly planning an intervention with the nominee. Something that trust confidant Rudy Giuliani vehemently denied. What a ridiculous word. An intervention is for a drug addict and someone who is an alcoholic. Donald trump doesnt drink or moek by the w smoke by the way. What was the meeting about. There wasnt a meeting. At least he wasnt yelling. Something intervened with trump. I dont know, could it be reality. He has plummeted in th
