>> mr. president, as the governor of guam, representing the people of guam and as an american citizen, i have never felt so safe or so confident with you at the helm. so, with all the criticism going on over there from a guy that's being targeted, we need a president like you. so i'm just so thankful and i'm glad you're holding the hymn, sir. pete: telling statement. abby: so much noise going on on the background. you are going on social media and what going on here. you listen to that phone call, that is what is important right now. these conversations. guam is the one that is threatened. clayton: they are in the crosshairs. abby: they are. clayton: take a look where that ring goes out and reverberates right in the middle of a pond they are in the middle of it. pete: they could strike in that area as well. guam is 12,000-kilometers from washington, d.c. all these reporters in washington, d.c. that want to freak out what do i want to do get my blanky and huddle and duck from nukes. guam has to actually deal with that they are living in history in a tough neighborhood. when he says we are happy to have you at the realm. that is the rejection of the so-called patience of the so-called obama administration. didn't take tough decisive action. clayton: meanwhile saying he is being too tough right now. media critics too tough begins kim jong un. this could escalate us into nuclear war. meanwhile, where did this all start in the president has been sitting there as kim jong un has been launching missile tests past four months, five months. trying to stir up the pot in the pacific. president doubled down on tough talk. responding to critics thinking he is too tough right now in his messaging. listen. >> he utters one threat in the form of an overt threat which by the way he has been uttering for years and his family has been uttering for years. or if he does anything with respect to guam, or any place else that's an american territory, or an american ally, he will truly regret it. and he will regret it fast. >> mr. president, you said you wanted to send a strong message to north korea. what do you say to your critics who say your rhetoric is only raising that tension. >> if somebody else uttered the exact same words that i uttered they would say what a great statement. what a wonderful statement. they are only doing it -- but i will tell you we have tens of millions of people in this country that are so happy with what i'm saying. because they are saying finally we have a president that's sticking up for our nation. and frankly sticking up for our friends and our allies. abby: to that point there are people out there no matter what the president says they are out to attack him. you remember on the campaign trail he was criticized for the opposite reason for being too friendly with kim jong un. pete: sit down with him. abby: now the cards have >> what a nightmare. but keith ellison is the deputy dismplet nc chair. kim jong un is acting more responsible than our president. here is what he said. >> north korea, is serious thing. you have this guy making bellicose threats against somebody else who has very little to lose over there. kim jong un, the world always thought he was not a responsible leader. is he acting more responsible than this guy is what i'm telling you is once these -- once you start seeing missile launches, you are going to see the time for cranking up the antiwar machine is right now. [applause] if you don't want to get caught deer in the headlights. start calling for diplomacy in north korea immediately. pete: of course no one wants a nuclear war. it wouldn't be 100,000 people that would die. human beings killed as a result. wouldn't it be? we could get into numbers. if you are being -- if guam is being threatened which is unincorporated territory of the united states. a part of the united states is being threatened. abby: was there ever a time when we can't be political? i feel like our culture has become so politicized and you also have to disagree with the other side is saying. serious and concerning as north korea threat. you would think this is a time when both parties, regardless of your background. regardless of your race and political affiliation, you would come together and say we have got to be on the same page here. pete: this could have been the moment i found the unicorn that democrat who decides to support president trump. keith ellison ramp up the war machine because we have a republican president. if it's president trump, they are going to resist. so it should -- politics should stop at the water's edge. it isn't in this instance. clayton: during the commercial i will show you unicorn videos. pete: videos of democrats supporting president. i want to see it. abby: president trump rejecting requests from venezuela's president to speak by phone just hours after refusing to rule out military action to help solve that country's months long political crisis. >> people are suffering. and they are dying. we have many options for venezuela, including a possible military option, if necessary. abby: socialist country is dealing with deadly riots toler rewrite constitution. president trump says he will speak with the president once democracy is restored but has not given any orders to the pentagon. and to another fox news alert now. the terrorist group al qaeda now has a new target in america. subway trains. well, the latest issue of the terrorist group magazine inspire is headlined trail derail operation. described ways to attack trains, describing derailments as simple to design with easily available materials and hard for authorities to detect. there are more than 10,000 miles of train rails in the united states. that is frightening. and we are getting a new look inside the white house as extensive represent know investigations are underway. crews are replacing the aging heating and airconditioning system. renewing the carpet and steps for the very first time in decades. workers emptied the oval office as soon as president trump left for working vacation in new jersey my husband and i moved apartments. sounds like a great idea. but the airconditioning unit went completely out. so i have a lot of sympathy for what the white house is dealing with. the middle of august. clayton: sometimes contractors like to take their sweet time. they give you an end date. somethin' tells me they will be done when the president arrives back. pete: can you stay another day away? i don't think you can. clayton: polpoly. >> president trump sounds more like north korea leader than american leader. >> now it looks like we have our own nut with nuts. clayton: next guest says the media is making things worse. >> kid rock just got some many major support in senate run from unexpected spot. we will tell you from who next. ♪ you can't keep no chains on me ♪ i was born free ♪ i was born free ♪ i was born free ♪ born free ♪ marie callender knows that a homemade turkey dinner can make anyone slow down and pull up a seat to the table. that's why she takes the time to season her turkey to perfection, and make stuffing from scratch. so that you can spend time on what really matters. marie callender's. it's time to savor.

clayton: right. >> that kind of behavior is really irresponsible because at the moment that threat that they made against guam is a totally empty threat. we have zero proof that they're able to successfully launch intercontinental ballistic missile at all. none of the allies are freaking out there. has been no u.n. resolutions, right? this kind of overreaction, this kind of behavior, i think ramps up the tensions in an irresponsible manner. clayton: let's read one of president trump's weeks this week about locked and loaded. military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, should north korea act unwisely. hopefully kim jong un will find another path. what's wrong with that statement? >> yeah, i mean i don't see anything wrong with that statement. a lot of members of the press corps decided to tone in on the locked and loaded and he created that phrase. we know exactly what it means it, means exactly that that kind of behavior is almost like the media is rooting for donald trump's failure and north korea to attack us which so they can say i told you so. which is totally ridiculous. clayton: here is the "new york times" correspondent responded this week with a tweet in response to that locked and loaded trump knows tv. he added new catchphrase and new kyrons after fire and fury, locked and loaded. >> locked and loaded has been an expression that has been around for a really long time, right? in movies. even our political discourse. this is uncommonly used phrase, right? this kind of attitude and posturing that oh the president is inventing all these things and doing things totally different, i mean, you know, that's totally ridiculous, right? as i said earlier, i think the media is -- you know, amping up the tensions between the two countries. i think that their behavior has been quite irresponsible. clayton: he is going to tweet about having an apple and an apple away keeps a doctor away. new phrase he just created. unbelievable. bree, great to see you this morning. >> great to sigh. clayton: new fed's investigation of jane sanders. new newspaper took a look at college donor list and numbers don't add up. don't get the credit they deserve but this changed on honor flight. lisa booth is next. come on in. ♪ you don't let anything keep you sidelined. that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...what you love. ensure. always be you. ♪ it's happening, it's happening! in the modern world, you can control just about anything with an app. your son is turning on all the lights again! you can do the same with your car insurance with the esurance mobile app. esurance. click or call. ♪ ♪ award winning interface. award winning design. award winning engine. the volvo xc90. the most awarded luxury suv of the century. this august visit your local volvo dealer to receive sommar savings of up to $4,500. ♪ ♪ abby: we are back with quick headlines, 19 hospital staff mysteriously getting sick forcing the partial evacuation of a new hampshire hospital. there are reports of a mysterious smell causing nausea and disneyness. the staff forced to set up makeshift emergency room on the outside grounds. the hospital could be reopened later today. also this, the source of odor also causing chaos for jetblue. three separate emergency landings within a span of just two weeks on all three flights, many passengers and crew members got sick on the flight after reports of strong fumes. several people on each flight were taken to the hospital. yikes. clayton: odor. abby: smells great in here this morning. clayton: the odor is me. my deodorant today. pete: men and women service to our country and event to honor them. clayton: flies veterans from u.s. wars to washington, d.c. to visit the memorial. abby: lisa booth was on board one of these very special flights and she joins us with more. what an incredible experience this must have been for you. >> it was so incredible. the men and women on this flight served our country most vilified war. most never received a thank you. i went along for the ride. take a look. ♪ >> it's a thank you four your service and sacrifice to our nation. >> today marks our 42nd honor flight and we couldn't be more proud. >> this honor flight is a little bit different. all 107 service members on board are members of the vietnam war. >> the vietnam vets were treat sod poorly when they came back. that should have never happened in this country. our motto is it's never too late to say thank you. that's why this is so important. all. >> all on board were excited for a trip the lifetime to washington, d.c., including a member of the american airlines old glory honor flight crew. >> it warms my heart to be with my fellow veterans. >> bruce fares served in vietnam from 1969 to 1970 in the 101st airborne division. >> we all know we didn't get a whole lot of pats on the back. didn't get a lot of thank yous. well, as of today, that changes. >> and what a change. instead of dirty looks, these veterans received cheers. a true welcome home.

somebody stuck up for the people of this country and for the people of other countries. >> he utters one threat, he will truly regret it and he will regret it fast. pete: from fire and fury to locked and loaded. threats continue to come in from north korea. here to weigh in is former cia analyst covering korea and met with korea officials dr. sue mi terry mike baker and former intelligence officer andrew pete. thank you for being here live and in the flesh with us this morning. we appreciate it you were in north korea in june, met with some north korean officials. what's the caucus there. >> sweden. pete: got it you met with them. what's the rhetoric as they hear from our put. >> kim jong un is bent on continuing this nuclear program. they will do that they will not attack guam or any part of the u.s. territory. they know that's suicidal. pete: you think that ring of prior fire threat is just that. >> they are not suicidal. they are not ideological. preservation is number one goal. they know if they go against the united states in the all out war that's the end of them. pete: we talk about missiles and bombers and things like that what covert operations might they have against this regime. >> right. obviously this is a sensitive topic. what can you say is that we have been gaming this out for years, right? and by doing that you are looking at all your options, cyber interference and cyber attacks to spec ops, covert operations: it's a limited table of options in a sense because of the unknowns. what happens when you spin this up and what happens then in terms of the escalation. you work through all the various scenarios and you use all the resources that you have at your disposal and that does include all those things off the radar screen that people don't see and don't need to see. pete: ultimately getting rid of nuclear sites would include something overt and quite robust. what would that actually look like. you mentioned potential special operation forces and missile bombing operations. >> i think mike is right. there would be a number of options that would be part of a total package. i think the special operations part of this is extremely difficult. it would have to be a very, very high risk mission, very early before any air strikes because once air strikes begin, this element of surprise is totally lost. then you may as well just send in infantry to try to take care of nuclear sites and missile launchers and antiair systems. so, it would be a challenging mission for special agents but have to look at it as well as things like drones and air strikes to try to newtize. pete: you mentioned when met with officials more cock i can't understand confident than you had heard them. feel like they will take some action needing to respond to this president but more than a ring of fire around guam. >> yes. they will have to continue with the test. i think another icbm test down the road maybe a nuclear test. again, that's not an attack. they cannot do that because they cannot walk away from trying to test a nuclear weapon or missile test because they are bent on completing the program. domestically, kim jong un will lose spending if he backs down from it. he just can't do that. pete: mike lee, we just learned couple days ago in 2013 they miniaturized nuclear capability. >> does that surprise you or is that generally known. >> it wasn't generally known. pete: within the intel community. >> within the intel community there were assessments being put within the previous administration's view. and, you know, like every administration, they need to choose what to prioritize from a national security perspective. previous administration chose not necessarily to prioritize that. they went with the strategic patience which as you know in a sense you could argue everything up to this point has been strategic patience which has allowed them to get. >> the argument for the strategic patience element is that north korea, unlike iran is, a status quo regime. it's not trying to change the region around it it's not trying to export its own political system. that's why the obama administration, i think, felt that we could wait it out. pete: is not north korea, it's a great point, difference in regimes is not north korea a preview of what will happen if we pursue the same sanctions, you know, diplomacy, u.n. rest resolutions. we could look at permanent nuclear blackmail from iran as well. >> certainly. there is a myth out there that there is some sort of political solution in terms of kim's regime in north korea. you know, historically, north korea has been a divided peninsula. simply because of its geography. it's surrounded by large hostile powers. each of which have interest in the peninsula and each of which back their own proxy. it's going to be a long-term problem. >> there are two points here that need to be brought up. one is to what degree is kim in a bubble. meaning to what degree does he even understand the realities of the world from his military leadership and those around him. and the other part is china and the signaling we are getting from china right now. just over the past 48 hours or so where they are indicating we are not going to tolerate or think about a change in the political structure or the makeup of the peninsula. pete: their statement certainly made that clear as well. dr. mike andrew thank you very much for your expertise. we appreciate it this morning. abby, up to you. abby: thank you, pete. straight to other headlines we are following. no flying

the government, the state department, has continued to stonewall with regard to compiling all the records about benghazi. it is unbelievable that five years later we are still gathering documents about benghazi. judicial watch filed a lawsuit against the state department for all of secretary clinton's emails about the attacks in benghazi. and they have searched the emails that she had returned, as well as her senior aides, jacob soleman, huma abedin and cheryl mills. incredibly they refused to search their own record keeping system. their own server off their state.gov email accounts emails with secretary clinton about the attacks. abby: are these emails we have not seen before? what are you thinking we might find out of these emails? >> well, i don't know. i mean, it's speculation what will be in there. these would be emails between the senior aides with secretary clinton. and the reason this is important is because we know for certain that secretary clinton did not return all of her emails the emails that were returned the 55,000 pages, those were hand selected by her attorneys. the ones returned by her senior aides as well as those were also selected by their personal private attorneys. we don't have a complete set yet of all of her emails about benghazi. and the court pointed that out that the state department has made no assurance that that's a complete compilation of secretary clinton's emails about benghazi. that's why we are here today. and the court agreed with our argument in court that they -- that the state department has to search their own system for these emails. abby: where do we go from here, ar ramona? >> on september 22nd, the state department must update the court with respect to the supplemental search and the production. and, you know, this is a very straightforward search. this search does not take more than a day. hopefully the state department will be forthcoming and will be able to conduct the supplemental search. they should have done this two years ago when we filed the lawsuit. hopefully it won't be too much longer before they actually conduct it and produce the records. as soon as they produce them to us, we will put it on our website on judicial watch's website to be public and be available to the public. abby: innocent lives lost on that day cannot be forgotten. ramona, thank you for being with us today. >> sure. abby: time for military action against north korea. is it time for that? what options should be on the table. michael waltz is here with his take. that's next hour. it may be summer but fall hunting season is right around the corner. can you believe that? bass pro shops is here with the must-have gear for your trip ♪ i guess you're just what i needed ♪ just what i needed ♪ i needed someone to feed ♪ just what i needed ♪ i needed someone to please. ♪ ♪ >> well, it may be hot outside but cooler temperatures are right around the corner, which can only mean one thing, bass pro shops is here gearing up for annual fall hunting classic. clayton: that's right. pete suspect in a deer blind. here with details is bass pro shops allen treadwell and courtney smith. nice to see both of you this morning. >> it's good to be back. there is no better place to get geared up for hunting season than bass pro shops during the fall hunting classic. we have great deals on awesome gear. we have trade-in deals and second amendment sale save or firearms everything you need for the outdoors. clayton: tell us about the big fall hunting classic it starts when?

the president had called the governor there to talk with him. he is the governor of guam. warm, hanging out in a t-shirt. it was good to hear from the president. take a listen. >> good morning. good morning. it's great to speak to you and i just wanted to pay my respect and we are with you a thousand percent. you are safe. we are with you a thousand percent. and i wanted to call you and say hello. how are you? >> mr. president, as the governor of guam, representing the people of guam, and as an american citizen, i have never felt more safe or so confident with you at the helm. so, with all the criticism going on over there. from a guy that's being targeted, we need a president like you. so i'm just so thankful and i'm glad you are holding the hymn, sir. pete: guam is the named target of kim jong un. ring of fire around guam is what he has threatened. he says never felt more safe. this is juxtaposed that with the critics of this president saying it's bombastic is he inviting conflict. if you are under threat you want someone you know is strong and listening to strong advisors as he pointed out last hour that know what they are talking about and finally going to hold a firm line. they are in crosshairs. we have been since world war ii. my grandfather served on the island of guam. we have 6,000 troops. we have some missile defense systems. about almost 200,000 u.s. citizens. you have two u.s. bases there. guess what? there are 12,000-kilometers from washington, d.c. so all these reporters can freak out all they want. they are not under threat. guam is and their government says thank goodness we have president trump. abby: that is something to see the governor where he is under direct threat looking relaxed. >> i have never felt so supported by a u.s. president before. there is so much criticism of the president but he doubles down on that. i'm going to continue to talk tough. any poll that's been asked, the american people do think we are tough enough on north korea. the majority of american people say we have not been tough enough when it comes to north korea. pete: slow marched our way to a nuclear bomb. pete: is he not ratcheting it up to nuclear war. he said to the governor of guam and your tourism, your tourism is going to go up with 10 fold with the expenditure with of no money. we are not going to nuclear war. pete: the president did double down responding to his critics saying this is why we talk tough. take a listen. >> he utters one threat in the form of an overt threat which by the way he has been uttering for years and his family has been uttering for years or if he does anything with respect to guam, or any place else that's an american territory or an american ally, he will truly regret it. and he will regret it fast. >> mr. president you said you wanted to send a strong message to north korea. what do you say to your critics that say your rhetoric is raising tension. >> critics only saying that because it's me. if somebody else uttered the exact same words that i uttered. they would say what a great statement. what a wonderful statement. i will tell you, we have tens of millions of people in this country. that are so happy with what i'm saying. because they are saying finally we have a president that is sticking up for our nation. and, frankly, sticking up for our friends and our allies. pete: to that point not that polls matter. approval rating. 39 to 45 in the last week. there is a sense that we're getting a serious response whereas the obama administration slow walked this. abby: imagine the response if he weren't tough on north korea. if he were kind of sitting back, not really giving us a sense of what we were going to do people says he has no plan. they have no idea with what's what is going on with north korea behind closed doors. this is total chaos. to his point there are a lot of people that no matter what he says he cannot win including many members of the media, democrats but hollywood is always so quick to jump on board. pete: and always so right. actor josh wheaten i had to ask clayton who that was. clayton: is he a director. pete: when trump threatens north korea he is threatening the north koreans with genocide. twitter, delete his account. it's literally the least can you do. because is he threatening military action is he threatening violence. abby: chelsea handler is always outspoken for all our generals surrounding the idiot in chief before you wait to remove him the longer your name will appear negatively in history. pete: is that a koop. >> all big fans of rosie o'donnell. she posted. first of all, can we end people putting the little cat faces on their videos on instagram. pete: not original. clayton: here is rosie o'donnell with a cat face or i don't know what it is telling north korea to ignore our president. >> hey, mr. kim jong un, sorry if i didn't pronounce that right. anyway, sir, our president disooneld moron. don't listen to him. we don't. pete: whose side are we on? abby: with rosie o'donnell we expect that from her. she has said so many ridiculous things over the years. you can't help but think about where has the respect gone in this country. right? whose side are we on? are we fighting for the united states or fighting for north korea. pete: we're not even just begging for respect for the president. these folks hate him. rush limbaugh hit the nail on the head in how they view this president. take a listen. >> it's mind boggling just on the surface of it. coverage of the news all week we must be nice to kim jong un. he can be reasoned with. trump, dangerously unfit. dangerously insane and dangerously out of balance, out of kilter, we must do what we can to stop trump. it is obscene. the poison of hatred flowing through their veins. more and more people, average ordinary americans, low information people are starting to pick up on this now. and starting to realize it. but, the behavior is of trump's opponents is what's odd and whacko and delusional and deranged and dangerously -- it's just dangerous. i mean, portraying the north korean dictator as the stable part of this equation and and that trump represents the threat, it's the result, i think, of so much poison. they have really poisoned themselves with hatred. and they have done so purposefully and happily that this hate is just pouring through every crevice. every vein, every artery. to the point it now can't be covered up or hidden. clayton: that kim jong un is the stable part of this equation the guy who kills his own brother. abby: starves his own people. threatens the majority of the world with nuclear weapons. i mean, i was thinking about this morning in our lifetime, we have never experienced something quite like this. right? pete: no. abby: we just don't know how this is going to play out. a lot of people are feeling nervous. a lot of people have loved ones, by the way, in that part of the world and wanting so badly for this to all calm down a bit. we don't know where this is going. i will say it is ryu assuring to know that people in the white house, many of them, have so much experience at this level. clayton: there may be some democrats who may be throwing their support. earlier pete you said i will never find a unicorn a trump democrat. pete: a democrat who supports trump. clayton: i found one. put up silhouette of this individual and figure out if you can figure out who this is i will read this quote from this person. only fair to point out that he inherited this crisis, the previous three presidents were not able to find adequate solution. can he not be blamed. he has a secretary of defense, national security advisor. both of whom are immensely respected i hope he will listen to them and their cooler heads will prevail. pete: their cooler heads implying president trump is a hot head. clayton: can you gets who it is? pete: no way. clayton: al gore. former vice president. pete: someone being part of the oval office. clinton gore administration that signed the first deal with north korea that allowed them the trajectory to get a nuclear bomb 20 years ago. here we are. abby: that is really interesting. abby: he wasn't the person i would guess with that. clayton: also found a horse with a horn. show you that later. next guest says all military options should be on the table when it comes to north korea. michael waltz is on deck next. pete: liberals love his movies. what do the critics think of michael moore's new broadway play?

what would it look like. joining me now to react is warrior diplomat a green beret's battles from washington to afghanistan. former green beret commander and fox news contributor michael waltz. thank you for joining us this morning. this is basically warrior diplomacy right now. trying to use the levers of hard power to bring them to the table. is a credible threat of a preemptive strike really important in that and what would that look like? >> well, it has to be on the table and all military options have to be on the table. that's what make diplomacy effective. that's what the last administration just couldn't figure out. you know, it's kind of like a football coach that took pass off the table and told the world we are going to run. that's essentially what president obama did. what would it look like? it would look like a series of stealth bomber attacks to take down the air defenses. followed by our more conventional fighters going after the sites. both the nuclear sites and weapons storage facilities. pete, i can't overstate that we probably could not get all of them at this point. he has been digging these things in for years. and the response that the north koreans would have in terms of rocketing and putting artillery down on seoul will cause thousands of south korean and american casualties. so the preemptive strike, while may be necessary, because not doing so is just going to allow his program to progress even further. we have to have everything else on the table exhausted first. first and foremost is soling the chinese responsible. pete: chinese could have a role in my next question as well. is regime possibly, peacefully -- violently or nonviolently through china some sort of covert action on our behalf. >> i want to see covert. i want to see cyber. what i really want to see is really turning the screws to the chinese economically. you know, i think we could convene an international coalition that is going to put secondary sanctions in place against chinese firms doing business with north korea. that's what we did against iran and that's what brought them to the table. i think there is a lot more we could do on the inside side. china could crush north korea economically if it wanted to. and i think the chinese government maintains relationships throughout the north korean army and if they wanted to put their own person in place, that's something we should explore. pete: sanctions have been tried since 1994. and even before that inside north korea to bring them to their knees. you are saying we haven't used the most effective ones yesterday and we still could turn those screws. >> notions sanctions have been tried and failed. sanctions have been put in place. the chinese have not enforced them. i mean, sanctions enforcement, including the ones that nikkei haley just successfully put in place last week. have to be enforced and that falls squarely on china. we have to hold china responsible. china could enforce those tomorrow should it so choose. so i think we need the shock and awe of president trump's rhetoric to change the chinese calculus that their buffer state is actually going to hurt them more than help them. pete: briefly, if we don't do anything now. if they continue to maintain the capabilities of an icbm with nuclear capabilities on it. >> right is. >> are we looking at perpetual nuclear blackmail for the foreseeable future? what's at stake here. >> there are a lot of people just saying, including former national security advisor susan rice saying that we just have to settle for a nuclear east asia. that means the japanese are likely to get their own arsenal. the south koreans could get their arsenal. that's not something i'm prepared to live with. and the other piece here is the north koreans will only get more sophisticated. their missiles will get more mobile. so that means they can hide them easier. pete: submarines? >> they could possibly go to submarines. they are going to go from very quickly from liquid fuel to solid fuel which means they can launch them faster. and we could see more sophisticated icbms with decoys around the warheads and a three stage that could reach anywhere in the united states. so the stakes are high to stop this program right now but i think we have to do everything before military action. pete: you just made a great case. lulu tenant colonel michael waltz thank you very much. >> thank you, pete. pete: if healthcare doesn't get done it might be time to ditch mitch. herman cain agrees. he joins us just ahead. place where they can be children. wtef is the washington tennis and education foundation. we help the kids with their academics, and we teach them tennis. we have retired teachers doing the tutoring and they're here every day. wtef is the sole beneficiary of the citi open® tournament. since citi® has become the sponsor of this tournament, citi® has helped us raise more funds. that means we are able to serve more children. i'm so proud of the fact that 100% of the students in wtef graduate from high school. these kids are keeping the ball inside the lines. inside the lines. marie callender's turkey pot pie staa rich, flavorful gravy.in and a crust made from scratch. because she knows that when it's cold outside, it's good food and good company that keep you warm inside. marie callender's. it's time to savor. it's just a burst pipe, i co(laugh) it. no. with claim rateguard your rates won't go up just because of a claim. i totally could've - no! switching to allstate is worth it. ♪ pete: pete. clayton: quick headlines for you. announce trade crackdown. politico reports he will call for investigation monday over allegations that china violated u.s. property rights. unclear how the announcement could impact china's involvement with the north korean crisis. jared kushner being sent back to the middle east to restart the palestinian peace talks. son and leading advisor a team several leaders how to support peace talks there. dates for the trip have not been announced yet. abby?

>> why pigs? well, there is a couple benefits with pigs. the size of their organs are similar to humans. and they are easy to breed. so those are the sort of benefits. we tried over the last several decades tried to chimpanzee. attempted baboon heart transplant where baby faye was called. she lived for about three weeks. but what's beneficial about pigs is the size and that they are easy to breed. abby: what are we looking at in terms of time line? how soon could we see this happen? >> they are saying within the next couple years we may be at the point where we can start that others are saying too soon. there is still the issue of immune rejection. the same thing we face if you were giving me your kidney, i would have to take immune suppressing drugs even if we're a match so my body doesn't reject it. that's still a concern. even if the pig was the donor. even if they have overcome this one barrier of the virus concern. abby: still a way to go but we could see that as we were talking about in the commercial break, some controversy. you have the animal rights groups and others not so happy about this. you think about the lives it could potentially save pretty incredible stuff. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me. abby: coming up, liberals love the movies. what do critics think of michael moore's new broadway play?

i want to sign it first day. they don't have it i said mitch, get to work and let's get it done. they should have had this last one done. they lost by one vote. for a thing like that to happen is a disgrace. clayton: so should mitch step aside if he can't get the president's agenda through? our next guest says yes. abby: joining us now is fox news contributor herman cain. >> good morning, everybody. abby: is he turning the cards on mitch mcconnell there few days ago it was the majority leader who said the president is setting unfair expectations for what we can actually get done in congress to which many responded the president wasn't the one who promised heck for seven years. it was the republicans who said if we are in power that is the first thing we will do is repeal and replace healthcare. >> those expectations that mitch mcconnell talked about as excessive, they are not excessive in the minds of the american people. the american people have been waiting since 2010 to get rid of the disastrous obamacare that republicans, as the president said have been promising to get rid of it and they couldn't get to first base. i totally agree with the president. and if not time to get it done, it's past time to get it done. abby: do you think mitch mcconnell needs to go? >> i believe we need to ditch mitch, here's why. he had the opportunity to convince senator mccain to move the ball down the field just a little bit. we know that it wasn't a perfect solution. we never get perfect solutions out of congress on anything. but it would have been a major step forward in order to go with the major step forward that they passed in the house. and for john mccain to stab the american people in the back and mitch mcconnell, the majority leader couldn't convince him, it's time for mitch to go if he can't get the job done. pete: mitch mcconnell when barack obama was president famously said we are going to pull obamacare out root and branch the entire thing. that was his phrase. yet when he had the chance, it didn't happen. if republicans in congress can't do repeal and replace. if we can't do tax reform and tax cuts which is signature. should we disband the republican party and say you can't get anything done? seriously at what point does it become an dysfunctional party. >> not disband the republican party. the republican party consists of two groups. real conservatives and ryan rinos, republicans in name only. i already started my list of rinnos that i plan to go after them. we got to get rid of the rino. we knew that lisa murkowski and susan collins were not ever going to be satisfied. but it was an absolute surprise out of nowhere for senator mccain to vote the way he did. if he had gone along with the other republicans who had been convinced that this is as good as we can do, we would be sitting here today with president trump signing the big step forward that the american people are hungry for. they are suffering. pete: they are just sick and tired of this. just sick and tired of it i want to get your take, herman on what's happening in north korea and some of the commentary that we have been hearing now from the media in response to kim jock u.n. one of the things he said which i thought was a pretty measured response. look, our policy to defend ourselves is locked and loaded if this crazy man does anything that would upset the applecart. we are ready, locked and loaded. people freaked out about it saying that president trump is inciting violence. what do you make of all of this? >> president trump is not inciting violence. he is sending a very clear message. i worked for the department of the navy for nearly six years. locked and loaded simply means that all of our resources are on 24 hour alert. and if kim jong un does something stupid, we are more than ready to respond. the liberal media freaked out because the president can say anything and they will freak out over it we know that strategic patience does not work. and the president was absolutely right on. we have have been paying lip service to this dictator for so long it's time for america through our commander-in-chief to send a very strong message. i agree with locked and loaded. pete: you see 64 democratic congress members writing a letter to rex tillerson criticizing our president as he stair stairs down north koren threat. what does it say about the democratic party that that many members would come out against our president? >> it says that those democrats live on another planet. it's called planet unrealistic. we have a real threat. and they are more worried about political posturing than backing the commander in chief who is willing to lead and willing to lead strongly. here is one of the things that a lot of people. especially the liberal media. they are not telling the american people if something happens, it's not going to last long they have a g.d.p. of $40 billion. they are putting nearly everything that they have into their ambitions for ba lace stick missiles. >> our g.d.p. is $18 trillion. they have got 25 million people. we have 320 million people. we got the best military on the planet. so the media is inciting fear, frustration, and anxiety amongst the american people which is playing in to kim jong un's what you call mental warfare. that's all it is on his part right now. is he playing warfare on the minds of the american people when, in fact, when, in fact, we are better positioned to defend ourselves. abby: we have got to come together on this. herman cain always good to see you. >> thank you. pete: big show thipete. clayton: big show still ahead. abby: one officer going beyond the call of duty taking part-time job to pay for hundreds of kids' haircuts as they head back to school. that officer joins us next. i can't wait to hear that story ♪ great big life ♪ what's up guys?

>> the response of the kids was very happy at legacy cuts in gwinnett county. the staff there, you know, working extra hours after closing to make sure that everyone who walked inside received their hair cut. the kids were ecstatic. there was one little girl who actually it was her birthday. she thought it just giving out backpacks for boys. once we provided a backpack for her. just the look on her face and how she was showing everyone it was more than enough for me that day. i would consider it a success. clayton: that's amazing. we want to help. our viewers are amazing. so here is what we are going to do. we are going to put up go fund me page. >> okay. clayton: zero donations. have you 3500 goal in order to help these kids. we want our viewers right now to go to go fund me.com and the organization called squad on the go fund me page. we have $3,500 goal. my sense is that literally when we come back by commercial break at the top of our 8:00 eastern hour we will probably have met that goal. so go to go fund me right now and help support this. thanks so much officer pollak, it's great to see you this morning. >> thank you guys for having me. clayton: you are welcome. we will be right back. these heroes never got the credit they deserve. we will show you their story on this honor flight when we come back. as moms, we send our kids out into the world, full of hope. and we don't want something like meningitis b getting in their way. meningococcal group b disease, or meningitis b, is real. bexsero is a vaccine to help prevent meningitis b in 10 to 25 year olds. even if meningitis b is uncommon, that's not a chance we're willing to take. meningitis b is different from the meningitis most teens were probably vaccinated against when younger. we're getting the word out against meningitis b. our teens are getting bexsero. bexsero should not be given if you had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose. most common side effects are pain, redness or hardness at the injection site; muscle pain; fatigue; headache; nausea; and joint pain. bexsero may not protect all individuals. tell your healthcare professional if you're pregnant or if you have received any other meningitis b vaccines. ask your healthcare professional about the risks and benefits of bexsero and if vaccination with bexsero is right for your teen. moms, we can't wait. can make anyone slow downt and pull up a seat to the table. that's why she takes the time to season her turkey to perfection, and make stuffing from scratch. so that you can spend time on what really matters. marie callender's. it's time to savor. hi..and i know that we have phonaccident forgiveness.gent, so the incredibly minor accident that i had tonight- four weeks without the car. okay, yup. good night. with accident forgiveness your rates won't go up just because of an accident. switching to allstate is worth it. >> president trump continues to warn pyongyang as kim jong un makes new threats. >> if he utters one threat, he will truly regret it?

pete: thank you very much, lauren. abby: a lot of people say give up on china they will never actually follow through. they are the only ones that can put this to bed. we should really hope that they can come together and figure this out. because the alternative to that is the military. pete: they put it to bed by us putting the screws to us. make no mistake they are not our friends. they are our geopolitical foes. abby: put them in a box. pete: where they really have to shut down. abby: make them feel left out. threaten them in their region. that is what scares them more than anything. clayton: they say they will sit on the sidelines if north korea comes after us. if we strike them, they are going to throw their hat into this fight. pete: behind kim jong un. we're with him. pete: looking at our american allies and american citizens, guam u.s. territory, american citizens in the crosshairs right now with kim jong un who has verbally threatened guam and, of course, president trump called governor calvo of guam to reassure him we are 1,000% behind them. i love the governor sitting there in a t-shirt takes the phone call. we have video of him in his office as he receives president trump's phone call. listen. >> good morning. good morning. it's great to speak to you and i just wanted to pay my respect. and we are with you a thousand percent. you are safe. we are with you a thousand percept. and i wanted to call you and say hello. how are you? >> mr. president, as the governor of guam, representing the people of guam, and as an american citizen, i have never felt more safe or so confident with you at the helm. so, with all the criticism going on over there, from a guy that's being targeted, we need a president like you. so i am just so thankful and i'm glad you are holding the hymn, sir. pete: here they are in the crosshairs, the closest, richest target for this regime that has been directly threatened as you said. he is saying thank goodness we have you at the helm, talking tough, finally holding the line. we had strategic patience so that years someone at guam kick the can down the road and hope this threat goes away which is what the obama administration did. they have tough options in the white house right now as far as what to do. they are talking tough because now is the time to make something happen. clayton: one of the other things on the phone we didn't play. president trump said tourism is going to go through the roof in guam now because of this. because we are stand obligor -- they always say after have you some big issue it's the safest time to go. i even up in the office this morning i said to you guys i want to go to guam. i want to go to guam. i'm interested. i would like to go to guam. it looks beautiful there he said tourism is going to go through the roof as a result of this. pete: people forget about it. my grandfather served in the navy in post world war ii. it has been a territory, it's been a part of america for decades. we have almost 200,000 citizens. two military bases there. it's a stone's throw from north korea. these reporters in washington, d.c. that are in the tizzy, you know, sucking their thumbs and holding their blankies and wondering whether we are going to nuclear war. they are not the ones that should be worried it's the citizens of guam and governor saying thank goodness for president trump. abby: what he is tweeting about north korea inciting this violence it's rhetoric we haven't really heard towards north korea. and a lot of the people in this country that feel like finally we are getting tough with kim jong un and such an irrational player. the press is doubling down on that tough talk. is he responding to all of those critics. here is what he says. >> he utters one threat in the form of an overt threat, which, by the way, he has been uttering for years and his family has been uttering for years or if he does anything with respect to guam or any place else that's an american territory or an american ally, he will truly regret it. and he will regret it fast. >> mr. president, you have said you want to send a strong message to north korea. what do you say to your critics who say your rhetoric is raising the tension. >> my critics are only saying that because it's me. if somebody else uttered the exact same words that i uttered, they would say what a great statement. what a wonderful statement. they are only doing it -- i will tell you, we have tens of millions of people in this country that are so happy with what i'm saying. because they are saying finally we have a president that is sticking up for our nation and, frankly, sticking up for our friends and our allies. clayton: it is true. think about if president obama said almost the exact same statement because i can't stand hypocrisy -- i don't care which party. so if president obama were to say if kim jong un acts and wants to make threats against us or takes action, we are locked and loaded with the response ready to go. would the response be as tizzied as it was the other day? pete: it's the opposite. bold, tough. abby: that message was for here in the united states but also for north korea and for china. is he saying someone very different is in charge. and if i'm going to draw that red line i'm going to follow through with that that is the game we are playing right now. democrats are still not having it. pete: or not set a red line which i'm not prepared to enforce which has been very responsible about as well as opposed to barack obama and red line. keep in mind this is the number two inside the democratic party in our country today has this to say comparing our put tim jong un. take a listen. >> north korea is a zeroous thing. you have this guy making bellicose threats against somebody else who has very little to lose over there. kim jong un, the world always thought he was not a responsible leader. well, is he acting more response than this guy. but what i'm telling is you that once you start seeing missile launches, you're going to see -- the time for cranking up the antiwar machine is right now. [applause] if you don't want to get caught deer in the headlights, start calling for diplomacy in north korea immediately. pete: ladies and gentlemen that is your modern democratic party. crank up the antiwar machine as we stare down a dictator who says he wants to bring our country to ashes. think about that. abby: north korea acting more responsible than our president. so he then pulled that back and said that he actually -- he didn't want to repeat that because people were taking it out of context. pete: is that what he said? clayton: if we can have diplomacy no one wants a nuclear war. but that they are acting more responsibly than we are? that's the laughable part. no wonder he wanted to walk that back. pete: kim jong un shot his own uncle. abby: nuke the united states and many other parts of this world? clayton: we don't have enough shows left to explain what he has done. pete: get a grip, people. coming up. it was the corner stone of his presidential campaign. >> don't even think about it, we will build the wall. we all know who is paying for it now democrats are doing everything to make sure that doesn't happen, including shutting down the government? clayton: one congresswoman calling the fla nra and dana low pressure a security risk. abby: bowling on our plaza in a few minutes. i can't wait ♪ i've been taking care of business ♪ every way ♪ taking care of business ♪ it's all right ♪ working overtime ♪ work out ♪ julie is living with metastatic breast cancer, which is breast cancer that has spread to other parts of her body. she's also taking prescription ibrance with an aromatase inhibitor, which is for postmenopausal women with hormone receptor- positive her2- metastatic breast cancer as the first hormonal based therapy. ♪ ibrance plus letrozole was significantly more effective at delaying disease progression versus letrozole. and ibrance plus letrozole shrunk tumors in over half of these patients. patients taking ibrance can develop low white blood cell counts, which may cause serious infections that can lead to death. before taking ibrance, tell your doctor if you have fever, chills, or other signs of infection liver or kidney problems, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or plan to become pregnant. common side effects include low red blood cell and low platelet counts... ...infections, tiredness, nausea, sore mouth, abnormalities in liver blood tests, diarrhea, hair thinning or loss, vomiting, rash, and loss of appetite. julie calls it her "new" normal. because a lot has changed, but a lot hasn't. ask your doctor about ibrance, the number-one-prescribed, fda-approved oral combination treatment for hr+/her2- mbc.

member. good to see you this morning. >> good morning, clayton. clayton: your response to that l.a. councilman's comments. >> i think it's patently absurd and unfortunately though very typical of the left. when they can't win on ideas. when they can't persuade the american electorate, they resort to coercion. instead of winning in the marketplace of ideas, they are trying to use the marketplace of business to try to force businesses to comply with them. i think, by the way, ironically, some of the people who would be most hurt if they want to start penalizes contractors would be legal immigrants who have been deeply involved in the construction industry. they might be hurting some of the very people they claim to be protecting. clayton: seems like something that would happen under a dictatorship. this is a legal wall being built and a contract door. >> it's a purity test. clayton: they are going to be vilified for that. >> by the way, when we hear these kinds of things from the left, i like to turn it around and flip the positions. let's see the right tried to do this because i think it would be equally wrong. imagine if the state of texas were to say any contractor involved in building a planned parenthood clinic can no longer do business with the state of texas or with the city of dallas because we are pro-life state. i think that would be equally absurd. if this is a legal business contractors are allowed to build it. if it's a legal wall which the people loudly demanded by the way in the 2016 election. i was part of the trump campaign and i can tell you nothing got the response at our rallies and among the trump base like building the wall did. because, by the way, that's not anti-mexico. it's not because we hate mexico. you know, we lock our doors at night in our homes not because we hate those on the outside, but because we love those on the inside. and we want to protect them. clayton: here is another quote from the los angeles city council member on this issue we want to know if there are people who do business with the city of los angeles who wish to profit on building a wall that would divide us from our nearest and dearest neighbor mexico. would you call it blacklisting. >> i think in many ways it is i mentioned before. it's a purity test. what i think is going on there though and happening in my city of chicago as well where rahm emanuel is suing the department of justice over sanctuary cities. i think both in los angeles and chicago. these are attempts by city governments chargely failing their populations crime-ridden and poverty ridden. these are attempts at diversification. the city of los angeles, unfortunately has more people living in poverty than any city in america. in los angeles county 40% of the population is on medicaid. it's a system that largely is not working. income inequality is massive. perhaps worse than anywhere else in the country. this is a diversificationary tactic. don't look at our failings here. look at this target over there. eventually it won't work. the american people demanded a wall. this is clearly a federal issue. not a date or local issue. and then the wall is being built.

it is because of china that north korea is surviving right now. i mean, china is really giving them this economy, what can president trump do maybe that is he not doing now to really put them in a corn tore actually act? they are the own ones as you know that can put these this thing to bed. >> even for all the criticism of president trump. that criticism or the tough talk by the president is directed not just at kim, but at the people around him so that they realize if they continue with reckless behavior, it's not just kim that's going to die, it's all of them in that circle. the chinese pushed in under those islands they built in the south island sea they saw the empty suit of the obama administration and no resistance. that wasn't even part of their strategic plan but they saw the opening and they took it in the way way the north koreans have been pushing in to basically an empty suit previous to this. so the president letting them know clearly what will happen to them if they threaten american territory is the right action. as for china. pete: erik. no, go ahead and finish. >> put three army corpses on the north koreaible borde northf north korea. the welcome of north korea has been worn out. kim is a yenekaless guy using a weapon of mass destruction to kill his half-brother in an international airport is the straw that broke the camel's back. pete: eric, have you got to ask but afghanistan as well. multiple reports that the white house is considering a plan to privatize some of that war. bringing in contractors. obviously your background extensive in that regard. what would that look like. is it an attempt to end the war, maintain stalemate. roll the back. what does it mean to privatize. >> as longest war, 16 years, close to a trillion dollars. thousands of american dead. tens of thousands wounded. how does this end? and the pentagon keeps wanting to roll with largely the same strategy has been doing for the last 16 years. i took a step back and did a zero based analysis and said what do we need to do to support just the afghan security forces to keep them upright? and that was to embed mentors, contracted kind of as a structural support with air support and government support, you can do that for 8% of what you are spending now. there is already 26,000 contractors in afghanistan. there is already 9,000 u.s. troops and 4,000 nato troops. this is not expansion of contractors. this would allow for a huge contraction of all those people to keep the afghan forces upright, to put relentless pressure on terrorists and to end the war in afghanistan. pete: outside the box idea. erik prince, thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. abby: thank you, eric. other headlines we are following. no flying for 24 hours. marine corps orders the grounding of all aircraft for one day sometime over the next two weeks. calling for operational reset. the order comes during investigations of two fatal crashes. one plane went down in mississippi killing 15 marines and a navy sailor. another crashing off the coast of australia, killing three. the grounding will not impact any current flight operations. an incredible video shows the moment a police officer jumps off an overpass trying to avoid a suspected drunk driver during a traffic stop. watch this. abby: wow, that out of control car slamming into houston officer rashad carter just as he made the jump. carter is now recovering despite breaking his back. the woman behind that wheel has been charged. in ra spokesperson dana loesch is calling for new york congress person kathleen rice to resign. after she said i'm going to say it nra and dana loesch are becoming domestic security threats under president trump. we cannot ignore it?

>> well, first, i'm still shaking rattling and rolling from my first rock song, abby, going back to the beginning of the genre. i think what the most important is not what kim is saying and in a way it is not what president trump is saying, it is what china is saying. what china said in the last 48 hours i think cannot be minimized or overlooked in any way shape or form. china said very specifically and it was a major give to the united states position. china said if korea is the aggressor, china will stay out of it. china will stay neutral if north korea attacks us, which means the united states then has the ability to retaliate massively against north korea and china will stay out of it. remember, you know, your history books, the first korean war, we had the north korean army beat. they had invaded the south. we invaded to stop them. we had them beat. then the chinese came in and it was a stalemate for three long years. keeping china out of it is very critical. china says if korea attacks first, we are neutral. you can have at them. and i think that everything donald trump has to do now has to be to keep china out of it. so i think there is a red line. i think president trump has drawn a red line. >> do you like his tough talk? >> i do like his tough talk. here's his specific red line. i believe that if north korea was to follow through on its threats and launches those four missiles, toward guam, the american possession, guam, the american commonwealth in the pacific, if korea -- if north korea does launch those four missiles, then i think president trump and the united states would be justified in either shooting down those missiles, if they can, or more practically and probably doing something during the joint exercises with south korea in the next couple of weeks to punish north korea for launching those missiles toward guam. >> well, we have heard over the years, you know we have heard this repeatedly from north korea, the bluster, the threats, the -- you know, the chest-thumping from not only kim jong un but his predecessor of course. are you led to believe that we will see any actual action from north korea or is this just more chest-thumping? >> i think what you have seen since 2006 is real action. what you have seen a continuation of widely universally condemned nuclear testing. they've developed their nukes. we know that their nukes explode. at the same time, they've been developing their missiles. we know now their missiles can fly. what we don't know if they can take the missile, put it on -- the nuke, put it on top of the missile and then launch it someplace, have it land where they want it to land and explode. they are more than halfway there, it seems to me. they have got the missile. they have got the nuke. can they marry the nuke to the missi missile? can they make the missile with the nuke hit the target? that's scary stuff. these are not empty threats. these are ever steps that threaten the national security of the united states and our allies, particularly japan which is only next door or south korea, which is literally, you know, adjacent. i think they have the capability, if they take the next step, though, and that's what i was trying to say in the opening, if north korea does launch missiles toward guam, whether or not those missiles contain nuclear war heads, i think that will be the line that the president will not permit north korea to cross, and i think china will stay out of it, if we then take some action to punish in a way -- i'm not sure what -- maybe we take north korea submarines, maybe we stop their vessels at sea, maybe we put the squeeze on them in something other than a sanction, something more than a sanction, i think that's what's possible. >> geraldo, in years past in things you have covered, we have seen politics stop at the shore's edge, this idea that foreign policy should be bipartisan especially when keeping our country safe, the number two at the dnc, keith ellison came out yesterday with some comments that, you know, i think have a lot of our viewers shocked but representative of how a lot of democrats have talked about this president during this showdown. take a listen to what keith ellison had to say. >> north korea is a serious thing. you have this guy making threats against somebody else who has very little to lose over there. kim jong-un, the world always thought he was a responsible leader, well he's acting more responsible than this guy is, and what i'm telling you is that once these -- once you start seeing missile launches, you are going to see the time for cranking up the anti-war machine is right now. you don't want to get caught deer in the headlights, start calling for diplomacy in north korea immediately. >> so geraldo, he walked back those comments a little bit, but that almost seems the resist mantra that existed at home is now happening as we interact overseas. >> i think with congressman ellison as with rosie o'donnell, these are not people who represent in my view the majority of the american people. >> he is the deputy chair of the dnc, he's not someone you can just write off. >> i write him off just because he has no real power. he couldn't even win the chairmanship that he hotly contested to be the head of the democratic national committee. i think we have to ignore those folks. i think that we have to listen to what our president is saying, vis-a-vis, north korea, this has become -- this has metastasized, this has gotten beyond rhetoric. they now have missiles. they now have nukes. we are worried that they can marry the two and really strategically threaten the safety of american citizens in guam and beyond. i believe that in coming weeks, you will see will north korea blink now that china has said they will stay out of it if north korea is the aggressor? i think that if they do not, then we have a real crisis on our hands. my suspicion is, and this is -- pete, this is what i really -- my bottom line is, i don't think north korea will be so foolish as to take this step and to launch these four missiles toward guam. i do not believe that will happen. if it does, you know -- >> it may not -- >> i think all bets are off if they do launch those missiles, i think the president will take some meaningful, dramatic, have in many ways frightening steps to punish -- >> they may not do that, geraldo, can we live under the next 20 years perpetual blackmail? >> did you see our show earlier? i didn't know if you saw eric prince's interview earlier. what he believes we don't need to go to war. he said we need an information war. we can do this far more effectively basically by inundating the north korean people with information about what they are missing on the outside of that wall, how the south koreans live. >> that scares more than anything, right? putting our western ideals on them. i don't think he would be more concerned about anything else, geraldo. >> a quick story when i had my daytime talk show, my infamous daytime talk show, in 88, the soviet union agreed to air my talk show in moscow and other big cities in the soviet union, my talk show and programs like this, an exposure to western values an pop culture and at the time cell phones and color tv and nice cars and washing machines that helped bring down the soviet union. why? because the people in the soviet union were looking at my talk show and programs like that saying hey i want that. that brought down the rigid communist regime. i think it had a lot to do with -- i take some credit -- i helped take down the soviet union. >> that is a great story. >> i think the north koreans will face a similar threat from the pop culture emanating from south korea, japan, and the united states, inundate them. this is what your life could be like. you could have three square meals a day. your kids could get educated in a way that's not just rigid and totalitarian. you can play. you can have vacations. you can have a passport that allows you to go to other countries to enjoy freedom of travel, and so forth. i think that's an excellent way to counteract north korea. i think as long as they are looking inward, trying to keep their own people suppressed -- >> you mentioned rosie o'donnell and no surprise here that she is responding to -- she has this video out. i don't know if you have seen it. she has like these cat ears or pig ears or something. take a look at this. >> hi mr. kim jong-un, anyway, sir, our president donald is a moron, don't listen to him, we don't. >> i don't want to focus on her because no surprise like i said about her reaction, geraldo, how does this country come together? how do we show more respect not just for the president but the threat that we face today? we are all in this together. >> i have to -- 15 seconds on rosie. i have known rosie forever almost as long as i have known president trump. this real real bad blood between those two going back to 2006 when she was on the view and she said he had gone bankrupt and he attacked her in a way that i think was unpress -- that i think was unprecedented calling her names and she called him names that are equally unprecedented. i want the people of the united states to watch what the president does, not so much what he says but watch what he does. so far his policies on north korea specifically have been traditional, sober, rational, measured. i think the president is on the right course. let some of the other stuff you know just fall by the wayside. focus on what's really happening. >> thanks a lot. >> good to see you. president trump doubling down on his disappointment on senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. we will talk to someone who worked for the president himself, brian lanza, next. ay to much worse. help stop the journey of gum disease. try new parodontax toothpaste. ♪ walter?

i think so. >> that is president trump doubling down on his disappointment of senate majority leader mcconnell over healthcare. is going after established republicans and moderates what it looks like? joining us is brian lanza who worked for president trump on his transition team. thank you very much for joining us this morning. i want to put up a tweet the president tweeted as well. he said mitch get back to work and put repeal and replace tax cuts and a great infrastructure bill on my desk for signing. you can do it. as someone who has worked very closely with the president, understands how and why he communicates, what is his approach here? is this what draining the swamp looks like? taking on the establishment? >> this is what leadership looks like. i mean, the president -- the president -- president trump is saving the republican party from the republican establishment. the impact that it would have for the republican establishment not the past, you know, replace and repeal obama care would just suppress, you know, the enthusiasm among the republican base. they would lose credibility. i mean president trump knows that, and that's why he's fighting so hard to push this initiative forward and many others. >> brian, you were there when the drain the swamp phrase literally came to be. the president kind of stumbling upon it and then realized he had hit on something and fully embraced it. the original vision of that, was that -- that wasn't just democrats. that was the establishment in washington. >> yeah, that was fixing d.c. i mean, the status quo here of just perpetual failure, failure, for years to come where none of the issues are really addressed where the minute it gets a little bit hard, people scatter to their corners and stop fighting. that's what draining the swamp means. the american people have an expectation of their elected officials and of their government to function properly. it hasn't happened for the better part of 25 years so when the president hit that cord and he hit it just right, he touched on something that we all believe, that washington is broken and is broken because of special interests. >> you use the word fight. president trump has been described as a fighter. you see someone like orrin hatch saying mitch mcconnell is the best majority leader we have ever had when we're sitting after an epic failure and inability to repeal and replace obama care, hah -- has the republican party lost its ability to fight and president trump is reminding them of that? >>i agree with that a lot. i think they had a tough time over the last eight years. now they have come to realize that they are a leadership. they have a responsibility. they have the ability to implement the policies that they have been champion for the last eight years while they have been claiming to be shut out. i think this is a huge opportunity for the republican party. a huge opportunity for the establishment. it is a better opportunity for the american people, who are looking for the change, who voted for a change in november and who see president trump as an instrument to that change and a change in washington, d.c. >> last quick question, who are the grassroots going to blame on this? mitch mcconnell or the president, if it doesn't get done? >> listen, they are going to blame the republican party. that's why you see the president fighting so hard to hold them accountable. it doesn't stop with the senate. it doesn't stop with the house. it hurts all republicans, the fact that the leadership here in d.c. can't pass the promises that they made and that's a problem for us. and that's why you are seeing president trump so aggressive in pushing back against the status quo. >> the republicans succeed if this president succeeds >> absolutely. >> bryan lanza thanks for joining us >> thank you. fox news alert north korea claims their army is on standby for an attack on u.s. homeland. former national security advisor rice says the rogue country's nukes are no big deal. general jack keane coming up on that. at ally, we're doing digital financial services right. but if that's not enough, we have 7500 allys looking out for one thing, you. call in the next ten minutes to save on... and if that's not enough, we'll look after your every dollar. put down the phone. and if that's not enough, we'll look after your every cent. grab your wallet. access denied. and if that's still not enough to help you save... ooo i need these! we'll just bring out the snowplow. you don't need those! we'll do anything, seriously anything, to help our customers. thanks. ally. do it right. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis,... ...isn't it time to let the real you shine through?

we attack first, they would get into it. what do you make of that statement? >> well, first of all, it's highly unlikely that north korea would attack the united states, after all, the reason why they want to have nuclear icbm's and put the american people at risk is to guarantee the preservation of their regime. why would they take military action which would guarantee the destruction of their regime? so i think that's highly unlikely. it is not that this isn't a dangerous situation with rhetoric that they are using clearly and the kind of people that running that regime. this is a closed society. the most repressive society on the planet is what we're dealing with here, absolute thugs and killers run this country. so we cannot take them lightly because of the kind of moral character that they have. but also we've got to look at it sensibly. >> it seems like. i totally agree with you, the idea of them using nuclear weapons seems ridiculous, maybe in the same way that iran as well be wiped off the map, and it is all a matter of showing strength as a hedge against the region and showing the strength, but at the end of the day, are we just going to allow them to have these weapons? are we going to put something in place where we can get back in there, diplomatically in some capacity to try to have these weapons removed? is that even possible? >> well, the kim dynasty made a strategic shift during the obama administration. i think it likely -- likely had to do with obama administration's general appeasement and accommodation of our adversaries. you put your finger on any point of the world, they backed away from our adversaries throughout the entire globe. i think what the kim dynasty came to the conclusion is that look, we can have nuclear icbm's pointing at the united states, hold the american people at risk, and the obama administration will acquiesce to that. they will accept that. they will treat us like they treat the former soviet union and now russia and china with icbm's nuclearized. that was their calculation. i think that was actually an accurate calculation. i believe completely that the obama administration would have acquiesced. what they did not calculate when they made that strategic shift and they began to accelerate this development of icbm's as rapidly as they are doing is the election of donald trump. that was not in their calculation. and this president rightfully so is not going to accept a regime of thugs and killers and as repressive as they are and as closed society as they are, holding the american people at risk. he will not do that. and i think that is absolutely the right decision, and now, it's pushing back on this strategic decision that they've made, and they are having difficulty with it. and i think china will help them finally get to the right place. >> i want to get your take, before we wrap this up, general, on susan rice's comments. you mentioned the obama administration. she had written an opinion piece in the new york times. i believe we have some of that we can put up here to show, and she basically in her own words says war is not necessary to achieve prevention. history shows that we can, if we must tolerate nuclear weapons, in north korea. so tolerate weapons in north korea. >> well, there it is, isn't it? that's exactly what i was saying. they would certainly do that. listen, they have tolerated the revision of china's revision of the order in the western pacific. they tolerated russia's annexation, the fact that they intervened in eastern europe. they tolerated russia's intervention in syria. they tolerated the removal of mubarak and we got the muslim brotherhood. they pulled out of iraq and we got isis. i could go on and on and on in terms of their toleration. their toleration has fundamentally made this world a more dangerous place. and finally, we have a leader who is returning america to the world stage and is providing stability and security, reassuring our allies and willing, willing to no longer appease and accommodate our adversaries, but willing to confront them. this is a good thing, not just for the united states, but for global prosperity and global peace. >> general jack keane, always great having you here on the show and your expertise is unparalleled. thanks, general. >> good talking to you, clayton. up next on the show, a brand new threat from al qaeda, and where they plan to strike next. when we come back. age... ...my 3-month old business... plus...what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i made a point to talk to my doctor. he told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis had both... ...and that turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. ♪ sailin' away on the crest of ea wave, it's like magic ♪ ♪ rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin' ♪ ♪ it's magic introducing the all new volkswagen tiguan. ♪ higher and higher, baby the new king of the concrete jungle. if you have bad breath and your mouth lacks moisture, you may suffer from dry mouth. try biotène®, the #1 dentist recommended dry mouth brand. it's the only leading brand clinically proven to soothe, moisturize, and freshen breath. try biotène®. when you switch to progressive. winds stirring. too treacherous for a selfie.

should we be playing politics here? >> well, one hopes that the president is not doing what president obama did years ago when he created a red line with syria and then he failed to comply. i think that probably president trump at this point has more credibility. i suspect he's believed because he's so unpredictable. we saw it today that the north koreans responded. so it's hard to second guess. some presidents have taken the position of speak softly and carry a big stick. that was teddy roosevelt. other presidents have spoken forcely and loudly. it depends on the situation. i'm going to wait and see how it plays out before trying to second guess. what i don't like is congress coming in now and trying to pass legislation precluding the president from taking military action if necessary. that actually blunts any presidential impact and i think it interferes with the president's right as commander-in-chief to make decisions affecting the -- affecting the national security of the united states. these are tough questions, difficult times, i think we need to take a deep breath and wait to see how it plays out >> it is a time when you think the country would come together. let's hope the generals and the commander-in-chief have a good handling of this, let's just see where it goes. i want to get your thoughts on this other topic we're following a federal judge now ordering a new search at the state department for hilary clinton e-mails that were related the benghazi attack. we are about to remember this attack five years later, professor. what do you think of this? why are we looking into e-mails now five years later? >> well, first of all, it is important to note this is not part of a criminal investigation. it would be wrong to be conducting a criminal investigation of this. there was nothing criminal about what happened at benghazi. this is a freedom of information request. >> uh-huh. >> as a liberal, i'm always in favor of freedom of information requests being granted. all the judge did is say that a freedom of information request was not responded to fully by the state department previously. >> why not then? why not? >> well, it should have been, and american citizens are entitled to know whatever is available under the freedom of information. the more information, the better. as long as this doesn't turn into a criminal investigation, which i think would be, again, a mistake of criminalizing political differences, i take the same position in relation to republicans and democrats. don't turn policy differences into criminal investigations. as long as it's not a criminal investigation, i'm in favor of the judge asking the state department to provide more information. once we see all the information, then we can decide how to react to it. i suspect the proper reaction will be political, not legal. >> professor, always good to have your insights. appreciate you joining us this morning. >> thank you very much. still up on the show, they have topped the country music charts. ♪ >> we all know them and love them. josh abbott band is coming out with a brand new album. they are here to perform their latest single. can't wait for this. that's up next. introducing new parodontax. the toothpaste that helps prevent bleeding gums. if you spit blood when you brush or floss you may have gum problems and could be on the journey to much worse. help stop the journey of gum disease. try new parodontax toothpaste. ♪ ♪ >> they have been releasing hits for almost a decade and they haven't stopping now. josh abbott band is here in our studio this morning. they are releasing a brand new album next week. they are joining us live with a live performance and new single. great to see you. >> thanks a lot. >> an orchestra here. >> yeah. >> tell us about the new album. >> it is called until my voice goes out. it is an album about life and kind of the rediscovery of what that means especially as an adult now. and we decided to put horns and strings on the album. normally we're just a seven piece band, but for this one we decided to really bring out the groove. we have this horns section called the groove line. when we tour, we will have them as well as a string section as well. >> that's great. tell us about the song you are about to play. >> we decided we wanted to play an upbeat song for you. we're going to do a song called texas women tennessee whiskey. >> i love that name. i will get out of your way. everybody, the josh abbott band. >> thanks a lot. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ y six months i'm accident free. because i don't use my cellphone when i'm driving. even though my family does, and leaves me all alone. here's something else... i don't share it with mom. i don't. right, mom?

VietnamRepublic-ofAustraliaVermontUnited-statesTurkeyChinaWhitehouseDistrict-of-columbiaManhattanNew-yorkSyria trace gallagher. we are alive again tonight in las vegas, as this town begins to heal, another busy day for investigators, in a grief stricken town, as they try to shed some light on why an evening of fun and music suddenly became a scene of cold-blooded murder. and to look at this video taken just seconds before the firing started, because it gives you me perspective about the witnesses who say it sounded at first like fireworks. watch this. ♪ [screaming] >> trace: from dancing to the rat a tat tat of bullets. authorities are hoping that this woman can help them delve into the mind of the mass killer. she, of course, was his girlfriend. tonight, we'll learn what she told the fbi about the man who took 58 lives and left hundreds of other people injured. plus a deeper look into the killers hotel room. startling pictures from inside his room reveal his incredible firepower, and the meticulous planning behind the bloodied rampage. will the killer's massive arsenal convince lawmakers to strengthen gun laws or is this a case of all the laws of the world would not have stopped this shooter? also, we will meet again with some of the people who witnessed the horrific carnage. one first responder who led a heroic operation to save lives out in a virtual american battlefield. >> it felt like a huge baseball, just the force of it going through my stomach. then i looked down, there is blood anywhere, i didn't even know i was shocked. i laid there and compose myself for a minute, i said, okay. i can't stay here, i'm going to die. or am going to bleed out. i was being trampled and it was so hard to move, you know. everyone was stepping on everybody. >> trace: she was trampled. she said she was going to bleed out, and yet, the words kind, caring, and quiet. those were spoken by stephen paddock's girlfriend, using them to describe the man who authorities say triggered the bloodied rampage from his 32nd floor hotel room window overlooking the vegas trip. tonight, we have brand-new information about the moments that led to the massacre and the chilling arsenal paddock how does disposal. we have an update on the hundreds of victims who survived sunday's deadly hail of bullets. with us now from university medical center live in las vegas, fox news correspondent will carr. tell us about the scene tonight at the hospital. it is it looking more calm, a little less strenuous for the staff members there? >> well, trace, you are three days into this, you have had the victims starting to leave. there are still more than 170 victims at hospitals across las vegas, it comes as investigators have spent the last three days poring through the life of the gunmen. speak of what we know a stephen paddock is a man who spent decades acquiring weapons and ammo, and to living a secret life, much of which will never be fully understood. >> authorities believe that stephen paddock wanted to survive after the attack. he had two cameras outside of his hotel room, one on the inside, none of which were recording, but they were set up in a way that he could observe law enforcement as they started to respond to the room. we also learned that he had explosive substances and to more than 1600 rounds of ammunition in his car. does that mean he was planning another attack? that is still unclear. the one person who could potentially provide some answers here is his girlfriend, marilou danley, who returned to the united states last night, authorities -- her attorney said that she is cooperating with authorities. he wrote a letter on her behalf in which he states that two weeks ago, paddock told her that he bought her a cheap ticket to the philippines. >> while there, he wired me money. which he said was for me to buy a house for me and my family. i was grateful but honestly, i was worried. at first, the unexpected trip home, the money, was a way of breaking up with me. >> continuing to talk to danley, as everyone continues to search for the motive behind the most deadly mass shooting in modern united states history, trace. >> trace: it is indeed a parade will carr life of the university medical center. will, thank you. a day after the trip to hurricane ravaged puerto rico, president trump traveled to las vegas to meet with victims and first responders. fox news correspondent claudia cowan's live in las vegas with more on the president's summer visit. claudia? >> well, trace, for the president, today's visit was a personal visit. he has a long relationship with las vegas including a big hotel here that bears his name. today he struck a very somber tone during his four our visit here, involving visiting two different venues. the president and first lady offered prayers and condolences to the victims of sunday nights shooting massacre and thinks first responders and doctors who rushed to save lives. their first stop was the university medical center. the president spent an hour and a half meeting privately with some of the victims and their families, as well as doctors and nurses, calling them "some of the most amazing people." >> i have to tell you, it makes you very proud to be an american when you see the job that they have done. and people that would not be around today are up there and they will be leaving the hospital in a week or two weeks or five weeks. in some cases, even in a few days. it's amazing. >> the president then went to las vegas police headquarters and gave his personal thanks to the dispatchers and officers who responded to the scene and in many cases put their own safety aside to help others. in a somber tone, the president spoke of the families who will go to bed and a world that is suddenly empty. he told the people of las vegas that the nation stands with them to help bear the pain of the worst gun massacre in modern u.s. history. >> we know that your sorrow feels endless. we stand together to help you clear your pain. you're not alone. we will never leave your side. >> i see so in all week, the president brushed off questions about whether the shooting should rekindle the gun debate, and while he did not visit the site of the attack, he certainly thought because his motorcade drove right past the mandalay bay hotel. late today, the president, always active on social media, sent out this tweet, saying, "we love you, las vegas." before he left, the president invited some of the wounded to come and visit him at the white house when they recover. trace? >> trace: claudia cowan live in las vegas. claudia, thank you. as the president said, he is trying to brush up the gun-control battle battle but the battle does exist. voters passed a law in 2016 to require background checks in nevada. background checks for a private gun sales and transfers, but a state attorney general's of the law was unenforceable. it never went into effect. now governor brian sandoval's office has asked the attorney general to reconsider that opinion. we are joint and not by the lieutenant governor of new back nevada, march hudgins and play lieutenant governor, thank you for joining us. we will talk about the gun debate in one second. i want to talk about this brand-new report, talking about how the shooter was actually trying to go after -- if we can get a shot of it, trying to go after the aviation tanks which are a couple of hundred yards from us here at mccarran airport. there were some bullet holes in these tanks, it gets scarier and scarier. >> it just shows how evil and do. if this. not only shooting at 22,000 people down here, watching the concert, having an enjoyable time, he wants to blow up fuel tanks and rock as much havoc as possible. he continues to be more and more disturbing. >> trace: the police coming out saying that he booked a room at the ogden hotel in downtown las vegas over the side of the life is beautiful concert, a week before this concert. it makes you wonder, was this the intended venue? was there supposed to be something that was more flamboyant? >> what really strikes a chord with me. my daughter is an 18-year-old young woman at home, my youngest is six. her friends, others we know so well, attended that concert, these kind of concerts here. it's frightening. if you consider what could have happened and the investigation continues and we'll find out soon. >> trace: after the gun control debate. we just talked earlier about this, and there have been a lot of people on both sides saying different things about gun control. i want to play for you if i can the beit martha maccallum talked to congressman steve scalise, on his recovery from the gun battle, i want to play this for you and we will read you a quote from a band member who was playing at the concert here on sunday night. they don't have it. but what he saying is we'll play steve scalise in a minute. what he is saying is, he was actually reinforced, it reinforced his belief in that we don't need more gun laws. your stance is? >> i think if you can show me a law that would prevent evil men from slaughtering innocent people, i would support it in a second. i think we all would. i think it is a little early, trace, to talk about policy and what comes out of the situation. we will have plenty of debates and opportunities. i can tell you this, there were some of those victims who i talked to in the hospital rooms, i have been visiting with them for three days, and at least if you have told me that one of the thoughts was they wanted to get their vehicles and get their own guns to protect themselves and loved ones. >> trace: what about using these bum stocks? 12 of them inside the room? it turns a semiautomatic into close to an automatic weapon. what about newt gingrich's income is something like this needs to be looked at? >> i think we will look at those type of things. i think they are reasonable precautions, certainly take income a reasonable approach is to keep us safe. again, if you can show me a law, trace, that will prevent a madman for massacring people, i will support it all day long. if you can pass these kind of loss, i think we would have already. >> trace: you've got to be awfully proud of your state and city. the people have risen. >> trace, you've spent time here, you know vegas, you know the heart and soul of vegas. born and raised here, raised six children here. what we saw, the response we sought to this evil, no doubt, october 1st will be a dark day in las vegas history, but also one of the finest days in las vegas history, as well. we saw what was keeping with the best and highest traditions of las vegas and nevadans and americans. the response that we saw was truly incredible. >> trace: i want to circle back and play this steve scalise bite for you and get the opinion. play this. >> i think we see too much of that were people say, okay, now you have to have gun control. well, first of all look at some of those bills. those bills wouldn't have done anything to stop this. the gunman actually cleared background checks. to promote some kind of gun control i think is the wrong way to approach this. frankly, what i experienced was when there was a shooter, we had, luckily we had capitol police there with their own guns. every single day in america, regular citizens that just have a passionate belief in the second amendment, that have their own guns, use guns every single day to protect themselves against criminals. >> i want to say come on the flip side, we have the guitarist for the josh abbott band, they . he said, "i have been a proponent of the second amendment my entire life until last night. i cannot express how wrong i was. we need gun control right now. my biggest regret is that i didn't realize it until my brothers on the road and myself were threatened by it." someone who is involved in the middle of it, someone who was involved, clearly, he was drunk and lost his life. two different perspectives. one adamant about no gun laws and one thing we need to change it. >> it will be healthy, something that is necessary. but not now. it is still very, very early. let's focus on the victims, let's help them get their lives back together. i am so proud of my city, i am so proud of my state, so proud of my country, for the response i have provided to us, trace. americans have responded in a way that americans always respond. we are grateful is a city and a community. >> trace: lieutenant governor, you should be proud. really amazing to watch. >> has been. thank you, trace. >> trace: he said he will never forget the carnage he saw sunday night in las vegas. he even used the shirt off his back as a tourniquet to help one wounded man. he joins me right now. aaron, we talk about this, i'm not sure if you heard our conversation with the lieutenant governor, but we talk about how the city has just done so many things, and the people of nevada had come together. but at the very moment this was all going on, give us an idea of what you were going through and what was your first instinct when you heard these bullets start coming? >> my first instinct was to get to cover. i had my girlfriend, and one of my friends overseas, his girlfriend with me, his wife with me. we were just trying to get to cover. we made it to the bar in the center of the venue after multiple gunshots were going off. we dropped to the floor. we would get back up, and we just kept moving. gunshots would stop, we'd move. the gun stops would fire, we would drop to the floor, and we would work out a way to the other side of the venue. yeah, it was unbelievable. >> trace: we played a piece of video at the top of the show, aaron, i'm not sure if you saw it. it was a unique perspective because we haven't seen that. we've heard a lot of gunshots but we haven't seen people dancing and having fun and then suddenly stopped to hear the gunshots. what were you doing right before you heard it? tell us about that part. >> right before that, i was dancing, i was with my girlfriend and a couple of her friends, and we were having a good time, listening to one of my favorite country artists. and as soon as i heard the shots, it was is insane. >> trace: we should just let you know, aaron, this is the video we are playing, you can hear the shots again, we have been talking to guests all week long, when they hear the shots again, it is very frightening, jolting. we don't need to do all to come of that is not our intent. we are showing the video to show you what we are talking about. it gives us an idea of what it felt like for you when you are taken aback by just hearing that all over again. does it bring back horrifying memories? >> yeah, it brought back multiple pictures of people i saw dropping to the floor and i saw a lot of things that i would never thought i would ever see in my life. it was terrifying. >> trace: what was the brightest moment, aaron? when you figured out that you were going to live, what was the brightest moment when you look back? the people helping each other, the heroes, people who knew they were injured but were just trying to survive? >> the moment of joy was seeing everybody helping each other, definitely. from everything that has been going on in the world, seeing this is definitely -- it did bring joy to me when i saw people helping each other out. everywhere i went, they were people making tourniquet's to stop bleeding, to caring people out of the venue. it was definitely amazing to see that. >> trace: i can imagine. aaron 37, the horrifying with the exemplary mixed. great if you to join us. thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> trace: let's pause for a moment from the cover of the vegas magic massacre to talk about another tragic story. three members of the american army's elite green burial unit have been killed in an attack in niger. two other members of the special forces squad were wounded, among eight or ten u.s. soldiers that were fired, came under fire while conducting a grote wow patrol. the pentagon has operated a drone base there since 2013. nigeria is a landlocked nation of western africa, one of the poorest countries as you may know, about twice a side of texas. it is also teaming with terrorists. it is unclear tonight which terrorist group may have been behind the deadly attack on our soldiers. we'll keep you updated on the breaking news as it comes in. in the meantime, investigators searching for a motive and focusing their attention on the shooters girlfriend. marilou danley now back in the united states for questioning. tonight, we are hearing from her sisters. much more on that in the continuing coverage of the recovery in las vegas. straight ahead. >> she was sent away. she was sent away so that she will be not there. who's he? he's the green money you can spend now. what's up? gonna pay some bills, maybe buy a new tennis racket. he's got a killer backhand. when it's time to get organized for retirement, it's time to get voya. we'll make it a mealand get to remember.ng. because tonight... we mangia! don't just eat, mangia! >> trace: will come back to the live coverage. investigators continue to search for a possible motive behind sunday shooting. now, they are turning their focus to the shooters girlfriend. marilou danley was out of the country at the time of the deadly rampage but here he arrived back in the states tuesday night to speak with investigators. danley issued a statement through her lawyer saying that she had no inkling about what stephen paddock was planning. her sisters say paddock bought her a cheap ticket to her native philippines, sending her away while he carried out sunday's riddle attack. >> he sent her away so that he can plan what he is planning without interruption. in defense, i thank him for sparing my sister's life. but that does not compensate for 59 people's lives. >> trace: for more now on danley's role in the investigation, let's turn to former assistant director of the fbi in new york, bill gavin. bill, thank you for joining us for one, sir. if you go think about this, we didn't get much of information about what the fbi was focusing on with marilou danley. maybe you can give us an idea, what are they looking for? they question her for five and a half hours? what is of the top of the list. what do they want to find out first and foremost? >> trace, i believe that the first part of the interview has to do with where she is going to come from, what she has to say, and it has been all neutral, what she has to say, supported by her sisters. what i think is very important in this, during the presser this afternoon with law enforcement and the fbi in particular, it is obvious to me that there is about 50% more facts that they know then are put out. i think they obviously have some individual who is very close to the whole situation, whether it be to danley or to the subject. in this particular case, they are giving them some concrete information. with that said, they now are able to prepare the questions through excellent interviewing skills and through profiles to ask the right questions of her for the future. i believe that there is a lot more that they know that they aren't saying and i absolutely agree with that technique of going with the facts, and not the theory. >> trace: the sheriff said it. we had it on the lower part of the screen, the sheriff said the gunman must have had help. that is what he firmly believes. but you look at this moment, the girlfriend, and she lived in two homes, bill, with this guy, one in reno, one in mesquite, nevada. in those homes company found arsenals of weapons. not only that, explosives and other things. there's reports that she went to a gun shop with him in the past. she knew he was buying these weapons. at some point, does the fbi say, hey, did you ever ask, what's with all the weapons? was with the explosions explos? >> absolutely they will come a trace. that is the way they are crafting the questions based on the information they are getting. there is no way a woman or a man two individuals can live together and not know exactly what is going on there. the other place that i still have a major question in my mind, trace, is the hundred thousand dollars that was sent to her allegedly to buy her new house. i am not buying that just yet. someone has to prove that to me because i have always found out, follow the money, and you will find out what the real problem is. as you can recall, that part of the world, the philippines, manila, is well aware of the way that radical extremists operate and they have been there for a long time. i still have that question in my mind. it hasn't gone away yet. >> trace: as do a lot of others, bill, people saying, with the money center for nefarious deeds? the question becomes, was it a fact where he said, i'm not going to be able to get anybody out, once i commit this crime, my assets, everything i owned will be shut down may be forever. she maybe gets it away to the philippines but you are right, there is the other side saying, and i don't buy the whole hundred thousand for a brand-new house. >> i totally agree with you, trace. it will all unfold, but i am sure that the strategy right now is to do strategic interviews of her and maybe some other people in this case because there is somebody that law enforcement has that knows a lot of information that is supplying at its vital information about us why are they are taking it slowly and factually. >> trace: former assistant director to the fbi in new york, bill gavin. good to see you come a great insight. thank you, sir. >> trace, thank you so much. one quick thing, thank you for the way you have been reporting. you haven't stretched the imagination, you have been with the facts, and real credit to fox and the news industry in general. excellent job. >> trace: you are a very kind man. thank you, bill. i appreciate that. as las vegas fights to regain some sense of normalcy, a return to routine, larger questions begin to surface. why did stephen paddock choose to unlink a massacre on innocent people? what can be done at all levels of government to protect this kind of attack in the future? and this woman is laughing because she's pretending her boss's terrible story is funny. still actually laughing. no longer making a human noise. experience the comedy, not your commute. dial star-star-audible on your smartphone to start listening today. copdso to breathe better,athe. i go with anoro. ♪go your own way copd tries to say, "go this way." i say, "i'll go my own way" with anoro. ♪go your own way once-daily anoro contains two medicines called bronchodilators, that work together to significantly improve lung function all day and all night. anoro is not for asthma . it contains a type of medicine that increases risk of death in people with asthma. the risk is unknown in copd. anoro won't replace rescue inhalers for sudden symptoms and should not be used more than once a day. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition, high blood pressure, glaucoma, prostate, bladder, or urinary problems. these may worsen with anoro. call your doctor if you have worsened breathing, chest pain, mouth or tongue swelling, problems urinating, vision changes, or eye pain while taking anoro. ask your doctor about anoro. ♪go your own way get your first prescription free at anoro.com. ♪ if you could book a flight, then add a hotel, or car, or activity in one place and save, where would you go?

do you feel like the information that is getting to the public is accurate and fast and is that the most important thing? because that is the most important thing. my conversation with the sheriff, he wants that to occur. he wants to be as accurate as it possibly can with the information that he has. keep in mind, trace, you know this, it's been less than 72 hours. it moves quickly. imagine what we will know in the next 72 hours, the background of the shooter and foreigner information on backgrounds of individuals that were unfortunate to be involved in this incident. it will be a lot more information that will be coming in the next couple of days, and we will have to hold on tight because the sheriff, the fbi, and the atf, are doing their jobs. >> trace: the news conference was astounding. he got up there, listed the information about ogden hotel, the room there, may have been doing some presurveillance over that concert two weeks ago. then we hear that in his car, not only the ammonium nitrate which we knew, but he also had 50 pounds of tannerite, which if you are using that inside the hotel room with a high-powered weapon, you can do damage. it keeps expanding. >> there is no doubt that this maniac meant to do at a tremendous amount of damage and he did. in fact, if you are listening to the sheriff this afternoon, he was talking about him trying to escape, trying to figure out how to get out of that hotel room, which he could find the escape route, and took his own life. i do believe, and the sheriff believes, his whole intention was to get up there, get out of there, and cause more havoc. >> trace: when the sheriff says that he does believe he was trying to escape, he wouldn't say why or how, it makes you think, what was he thinking. maybe you can give us more insight. i don't want to supersede the sheriff. stick with the sheriff is a smart. i'm with the sheriff. the sheriff think that is what is going on, until he is proven wrong, that is what i'm going with. >> trace: he knew he had three cameras in the hallway, he knew when the police were coming down the hall, it's amazing to think that he somehow in his mind i thought, i can make it out of here. that would be astounding. >> we will find out more about this in the days to come. we will probably trace more of his activities and find out what he was trying to accomplish. as you were talking earlier, with those barrels of fuel, we have the aviation fuel tanks over here, and shooting bullets into that thing, looking for more of a presence that what he was doing up there on the 32nd floor. >> trace: we had some government experts that were messaging me earlier and they were saying, how far do you think the tanks are from the hotel? and you were given a rough idea and it's within range. you have a high powered weapon and may be at 1,000 yards, people don't realize, this is right next to mccarran airport. in fact, there were people who were running out of the concert to push a fence down and on the grounds of mccarran airport. it's very scary when you think of how close things are and how much worse the potential could be. to speak of those are some of the questions that i asked the sheriff, what was the caliber of weapons that he had up there. there were a number of different calibers but i think most of them are .308 and .2 to three. plenty of firepower to make it across the street to get to those tanks. >> trace: there will be a debate on guns. it will be lively and it will start now and people, the reason that they start now is because they think it is the iron is hot, let's get going, let's get to bed, let's talk about something. do you starting now or for several months? >> i believe that we still have victims that haven't been identified at this point. i don't know if now is the time to have this particular discussion. i think in the weeks and months to come, that dialogue means to be had. bump stocks, you know that was an obama arrow regulation that was put into place. done by regulation. my conversations with the president today is to reverse that by regulation. it doesn't go through the whole congressional process, get to the president six months from now, maybe we could do something immediately to stop this kind of carnage because of those guns had remained a semiautomatic's, as opposed to full automatics, hundreds of people from being injured. >> trace: is one of the first times, we've covered a lot of these, but it's one of the first times that we have seeds of agreement. the bump stocks, we've talked to newt gingrich, there seems to be agreement. senator dean heller, great to see you. >> good to see you. >> trace: nearly 500 people wounded and sunday nights at vegas mass shooting. 500 people. it's now a little below that, but it was about that for a long time. we'll hear about it from people who experience it from firsthand when our special coverage of the tragedy in las vegas continues. it's ok that everybody ignores me when i drive. it's fine, 'cause i get a safe driving bonus check every six months i'm accident-free. and i don't share it with mom. right, mom? right. safe driving bonus checks, only from allstate. switching to allstate is worth it. only ♪rom allstate. hey grandpa. hey, kid. really good to see you. you too. you tell grandma you were going fishing again? maybe. (vo) the best things in life keep going. that's why i got a subaru, too. introducing the all-new crosstrek. love is out there. find it in a subaru crosstrek. >> trace: almost 72 hours, we have been hearing the harrowing stories from victims and witnesses and many of the brave first responders. tonight, we are joined by a senior paramedic and supervisor that helped lead the respondent sunday night. it is so nice of you to join us. we were talking earlier, you said that you were at the station when you got the call and then what happened? what is the call come in as and what is your first action? >> initially come with call came in as an active shooter with at least 20 people injured. at that point, i grabbed my partner, we got in my suv, and immediately responded to the scene. >> trace: you go to the scene and you know it's much worse than you had imagined. >> as we arrived, they were people everywhere. people were running up to us, letting us know they had been shot. we started assessing people as quickly as possible, ambulances were still arriving, we were able to place people into specific ambulances, sometimes three to four patients at a time. >> trace: you said there were people getting into a truck and you had this rolling triage. talk about that. >> one of the first interactions we had was a pickup truck that came to our location and the entire truck bed was filled with people that had been shot. initially, i was acting as a paramedic, hopped in the back of the pickup truck, started assessing people as quickly as possible, started unloading the patient some at that point, we had several ambulances, getting each patient into an ambulance, like i said, sometimes three or four at a time. after that, i had to move into more of a coordination role as a situation grew. >> trace: my guess is a lot of the people in the back of the truck bed, a lot of the people you saw, were in shock. some didn't realize how bad they were injured, so how do you assess that, how do you know someone who is badly injured but acts like they are fine because their bodies in shock? >> luckily, a lot of people has said it, they were people that were on injured that were able to tell us what some of the injuries were. with experience, you learn how to look at somebody and judgment from there. the initial assessment is what gets them into the ambulance and then the paramedics and emts did further assessments and treatments. we went at what point do you say, we have a call, all hands on deck, we got a call for everybody? we need help, all the help we can get. >> i think the realization came early on. like i said, the amount of people we were surrounded by and trying to help, the decision was made early on to get as many people as possible. at one point, we paged out to all of the off-duty crews that if they could respond, please, come to the station. in a matter of less than a half hour, we had over 160 ambulances, over 200 personnel hundred personnel. >> trace: wow. when you got here, did you hear gunfire? did you hear gunfire on the way here? >> i didn't hear any. i don't know that i would have, just because you instantly get into a mode where you are looking at people and trying to take care of things and coordinate this massive response. >> trace: where do you start? you go to a certain group of people, do you start where the closest person to you? how does that work? speak it when we first arrived, it seemed like everyone was coming straight to us. after the initial surge, we went into a coordination role, and i found the clark county fire department chiefs, and we began coordinating and as we were getting reports of patients at certain locations, i would contact the dispatchers and have hopped on mike ambulances go to that location. >> trace: by all accounts, bret, your team performed well. >> i think every agent involved performed. everybody stepped up and i would be hard-pressed to say that there was any lack of coordination or cooperation to get the job that needed to have been done. >> trace: you are assessing people and doing this triage, did you think, i cannot believe this is happening? i cannot believe the scale? >> i don't think it ever kicked in at that point after the fact. of course, when it's happening, you get into a professional mode, and you look at the task at hand. you start checking things off the list that need to happen. >> trace: it's amazing. bret dragon, we've been very lucky to have you. good work, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> trace: from the heart breaking images of death and bloodshed, emerge stories of bravery like we just witnessed with mr. dragon. when we come back, one musician turned hero over because of these break to action to lead a group of terrified concertgoers out of harm's way. and wait until you hear how he did it. next. at work, at home... even on the escalator. that can be hard on her lower body, so now she does it with dr. scholl's orthotics. clinically proven to relieve and prevent foot, knee or lower back pain, by reducing the shock and stress that travel up her body with every step she takes. so keep on climbing, sarah. you're killing it. dr. scholl's. born to move. thisto a hilarioushing baudiobook on audible.g and this woman is laughing because she's pretending her boss's terrible story is funny. still actually laughing. no longer making a human noise. experience the comedy, not your commute. dial star-star-audible on your smartphone to start listening today. >> trace: it's no doubt many stories over the past three days we have heard of heroism we were churning out of las vegas, musician brian hopkins is one of those heroes. as gunfire rang out on sunday, he took refuge in a freezer with the group. you were next to the stage, jason aldean is playing, you were with a guitar player, and you hear the pops. >> it was multiple times, and by the time it stayed, what i saw was, someone drops, a guy drops, the next one, 4 feet over, he drops. when i look back, no one is really moving yet. a girl drops, another girl drops next to her, and when i played it back -- yeah, anyway, he says, "run." i reach out and grab the two girls in front of me and i had just met them the day before because they wanted to take a picture with me, sweet girls. i remember them because they were nicole and nicole, i called them the echoes as a joke. i reached out and grabbed them, we take off running, and everyone is coming this way, and everyone is heading to an area that is starting to bottleneck already because there are lots of people behind us. i lost ben. i remember there is an artist entrance in the back corner, and i played a few years ago. that is where we are going. there is an artist entrance, backstage year, and i go to that one with nautically, we were going through -- not moving real fast, and it's like this, and people screaming. when we go around the corner, we take off running around the corner, and it's hitting the top of the roof -- >> trace: you can hear it. >> you can hear it hitting things. i just keep telling the girls, just keep running, we will be okay. >> trace: they are not panicking. >> no, they are not. they were calm, running with me, holding my hand, and we get to the fence area, because i remember, that is where we are growing, coming around the fence area, and its a tall fence, it's not an opening anymore. there are people back there trying to get over, people kind of like may be trying to figure out what is going on. and apparently, it's a catering company. i kept calling it a crate with two doors. it was a refrigerator. there is somebody standing in the doorway, and i just -- let's go. we run to the refrigerator. i help the girls and, help the people behind me inside and then i jump in. there are more people coming. somebody standing at the door, people yelling don't let them in, but -- let them in. we were sitting down. apparently i wasn't. the girls were saying, you're not standing down, you are standing. i'm trying to figure out what we will do next. >> trace: you think they are coming at you? >> that's not the case. but i don't know that. so there is a friend of mine in there with his girl and there are people laying low and i crouched down and then i realize, i don't want to be in here with us happens. i checked the door, and his bang, bang, bang. it sounds like it's closer, i turn around, everything is okay, and my buddy was like, no, it's not. i reached for my phone and -- people are trying to call, right?

also, we will meet again with some of the people who witnessed the horrific carnage. one first responder who led a heroic operation to save lives out in a virtual american battlefield. >> it felt like a huge baseball, just the force of it going through my stomach. then i looked down, there is blood anywhere, i didn't even know i was shocked. i laid there and compose myself for a minute, i said, okay. i can't stay here, i'm going to die. or am going to bleed out. i was being trampled and it was so hard to move, you know. everyone was stepping on everybody. >> trace: she was trampled. she said she was going to bleed out, and yet, the words kind, caring, and quiet. those were spoken by stephen paddock's girlfriend, using them to describe the man who authorities say triggered the bloodied rampage from his 32nd floor hotel room window overlooking the vegas trip. tonight, we have brand-new information about the moments that led to the massacre and the chilling arsenal paddock how does disposal. we have an update on the hundreds of victims who survived sunday's deadly hail of bullets. with us now from university medical center live in las vegas, fox news correspondent will carr. tell us about the scene tonight at the hospital. it is it looking more calm, a little less strenuous for the staff members there? >> well, trace, you are three days into this, you have had the victims starting to leave. there are still more than 170 victims at hospitals across las vegas, it comes as investigators have spent the last three days poring through the life of the gunmen. speak of what we know a stephen paddock is a man who spent decades acquiring weapons and ammo, and to living a secret life, much of which will never be fully understood. >> authorities believe that stephen paddock wanted to survive after the attack. he had two cameras outside of his hotel room, one on the inside, none of which were recording, but they were set up in a way that he could observe law enforcement as they started to respond to the room. we also learned that he had explosive substances and to more than 1600 rounds of ammunition in his car. does that mean he was planning another attack? that is still unclear. the one person who could potentially provide some answers here is his girlfriend, marilou danley, who returned to the united states last night, authorities -- her attorney said that she is cooperating with authorities. he wrote a letter on her behalf in which he states that two weeks ago, paddock told her that he bought her a cheap ticket to the philippines. >> while there, he wired me money. which he said was for me to buy a house for me and my family. i was grateful but honestly, i was worried. at first, the unexpected trip home, the money, was a way of breaking up with me. >> continuing to talk to danley, as everyone continues to search for the motive behind the most deadly mass shooting in modern united states history, trace. >> trace: it is indeed a parade will carr life of the university medical center. will, thank you. a day after the trip to hurricane ravaged puerto rico, president trump traveled to las vegas to meet with victims and first responders. fox news correspondent claudia cowan's live in las vegas with more on the president's summer visit. claudia? >> well, trace, for the president, today's visit was a personal visit. he has a long relationship with las vegas including a big hotel here that bears his name. today he struck a very somber tone during his four our visit here, involving visiting two different venues. the president and first lady offered prayers and condolences to the victims of sunday nights shooting massacre and thinks first responders and doctors who rushed to save lives. their first stop was the university medical center. the president spent an hour and a half meeting privately with some of the victims and their families, as well as doctors and nurses, calling them "some of the most amazing people." >> i have to tell you, it makes you very proud to be an american when you see the job that they have done. and people that would not be around today are up there and they will be leaving the hospital in a week or two weeks or five weeks. in some cases, even in a few days. it's amazing. >> the president then went to las vegas police headquarters and gave his personal thanks to the dispatchers and officers who responded to the scene and in many cases put their own safety aside to help others. in a somber tone, the president spoke of the families who will go to bed and a world that is suddenly empty. he told the people of las vegas that the nation stands with them to help bear the pain of the worst gun massacre in modern u.s. history. >> we know that your sorrow feels endless. we stand together to help you clear your pain. you're not alone. we will never leave your side. >> i see so in all week, the president brushed off questions about whether the shooting should rekindle the gun debate, and while he did not visit the site of the attack, he certainly thought because his motorcade drove right past the mandalay bay hotel. late today, the president, always active on social media, sent out this tweet, saying, "we love you, las vegas." before he left, the president invited some of the wounded to come and visit him at the white house when they recover. trace? >> trace: claudia cowan live in las vegas. claudia, thank you. as the president said, he is trying to brush up the gun-control battle battle but the battle does exist. voters passed a law in 2016 to require background checks in nevada. background checks for a private gun sales and transfers, but a state attorney general's of the law was unenforceable. it never went into effect. now governor brian sandoval's office has asked the attorney general to reconsider that opinion. we are joint and not by the lieutenant governor of new back nevada, march hudgins and play lieutenant governor, thank you for joining us. we will talk about the gun debate in one second. i want to talk about this brand-new report, talking about how the shooter was actually trying to go after -- if we can get a shot of it, trying to go after the aviation tanks which are a couple of hundred yards from us here at mccarran airport. there were some bullet holes in these tanks, it gets scarier and scarier. >> it just shows how evil and do. if this. not only shooting at 22,000 people down here, watching the concert, having an enjoyable time, he wants to blow up fuel tanks and rock as much havoc as possible. he continues to be more and more disturbing. >> trace: the police coming out saying that he booked a room at the ogden hotel in downtown las vegas over the side of the life is beautiful concert, a week before this concert. it makes you wonder, was this the intended venue? was there supposed to be something that was more flamboyant? >> what really strikes a chord with me. my daughter is an 18-year-old young woman at home, my youngest is six. her friends, others we know so well, attended that concert, these kind of concerts here. it's frightening. if you consider what could have happened and the investigation continues and we'll find out soon. >> trace: after the gun control debate. we just talked earlier about this, and there have been a lot of people on both sides saying different things about gun control. i want to play for you if i can the beit martha maccallum talked to congressman steve scalise, on his recovery from the gun battle, i want to play this for you and we will read you a quote from a band member who was playing at the concert here on sunday night. they don't have it. but what he saying is we'll play steve scalise in a minute. what he is saying is, he was actually reinforced, it reinforced his belief in that we don't need more gun laws. your stance is? >> i think if you can show me a law that would prevent evil men from slaughtering innocent people, i would support it in a second. i think we all would. i think it is a little early, trace, to talk about policy and what comes out of the situation. we will have plenty of debates and opportunities. i can tell you this, there were some of those victims who i talked to in the hospital rooms, i have been visiting with them for three days, and at least if you have told me that one of the thoughts was they wanted to get their vehicles and get their own guns to protect themselves and loved ones. >> trace: what about using these bum stocks? 12 of them inside the room? it turns a semiautomatic into close to an automatic weapon. what about newt gingrich's income is something like this needs to be looked at? >> i think we will look at those type of things. i think they are reasonable precautions, certainly take income a reasonable approach is to keep us safe. again, if you can show me a law, trace, that will prevent a madman for massacring people, i will support it all day long. if you can pass these kind of loss, i think we would have already. >> trace: you've got to be awfully proud of your state and city. the people have risen. >> trace, you've spent time here, you know vegas, you know the heart and soul of vegas. born and raised here, raised six children here. what we saw, the response we sought to this evil, no doubt, october 1st will be a dark day in las vegas history, but also one of the finest days in las vegas history, as well. we saw what was keeping with the best and highest traditions of las vegas and nevadans and americans. the response that we saw was truly incredible. >> trace: i want to circle back and play this steve scalise bite for you and get the opinion. play this. >> i think we see too much of that were people say, okay, now you have to have gun control. well, first of all look at some of those bills. those bills wouldn't have done anything to stop this. the gunman actually cleared background checks. to promote some kind of gun control i think is the wrong way to approach this. frankly, what i experienced was when there was a shooter, we had, luckily we had capitol police there with their own guns. every single day in america, regular citizens that just have a passionate belief in the second amendment, that have their own guns, use guns every single day to protect themselves against criminals. >> i want to say come on the flip side, we have the guitarist for the josh abbott band, they . he said, "i have been a proponent of the second amendment my entire life until last night. i cannot express how wrong i was. we need gun control right now. my biggest regret is that i didn't realize it until my brothers on the road and myself were threatened by it." someone who is involved in the middle of it, someone who was involved, clearly, he was drunk and lost his life. two different perspectives. one adamant about no gun laws and one thing we need to change it. >> it will be healthy, something that is necessary. but not now. it is still very, very early. let's focus on the victims, let's help them get their lives back together. i am so proud of my city, i am so proud of my state, so proud of my country, for the response i have provided to us, trace. americans have responded in a way that americans always respond. we are grateful is a city and a community. >> trace: lieutenant governor, you should be proud. really amazing to watch. >> has been. thank you, trace. >> trace: he said he will never forget the carnage he saw sunday night in las vegas. he even used the shirt off his back as a tourniquet to help one wounded man. he joins me right now. aaron, we talk about this, i'm not sure if you heard our conversation with the lieutenant governor, but we talk about how the city has just done so many things, and the people of nevada had come together. but at the very moment this was all going on, give us an idea of what you were going through and what was your first instinct when you heard these bullets start coming? >> my first instinct was to get to cover. i had my girlfriend, and one of my friends overseas, his girlfriend with me, his wife with me. we were just trying to get to cover. we made it to the bar in the center of the venue after multiple gunshots were going off. we dropped to the floor. we would get back up, and we just kept moving. gunshots would stop, we'd move. the gun stops would fire, we would drop to the floor, and we would work out a way to the other side of the venue. yeah, it was unbelievable. >> trace: we played a piece of video at the top of the show, aaron, i'm not sure if you saw it. it was a unique perspective because we haven't seen that. we've heard a lot of gunshots but we haven't seen people dancing and having fun and then suddenly stopped to hear the gunshots. what were you doing right before you heard it? tell us about that part. >> right before that, i was dancing, i was with my girlfriend and a couple of her friends, and we were having a good time, listening to one of my favorite country artists. and as soon as i heard the shots, it was is insane. >> trace: we should just let you know, aaron, this is the video we are playing, you can hear the shots again, we have been talking to guests all week long, when they hear the shots again, it is very frightening, jolting. we don't need to do all to come of that is not our intent. we are showing the video to show you what we are talking about. it gives us an idea of what it felt like for you when you are taken aback by just hearing that all over again. does it bring back horrifying memories? >> yeah, it brought back multiple pictures of people i saw dropping to the floor and i saw a lot of things that i would never thought i would ever see in my life. it was terrifying. >> trace: what was the brightest moment, aaron? when you figured out that you were going to live, what was the brightest moment when you look back? the people helping each other, the heroes, people who knew they were injured but were just trying to survive? >> the moment of joy was seeing everybody helping each other, definitely. from everything that has been going on in the world, seeing this is definitely -- it did bring joy to me when i saw people helping each other out. everywhere i went, they were people making tourniquet's to stop bleeding, to caring people out of the venue. it was definitely amazing to see that. >> trace: i can imagine. aaron 37, the horrifying with the exemplary mixed. great if you to join us. thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> trace: let's pause for a moment from the cover of the vegas magic massacre to talk about another tragic story. three members of the american army's elite green burial unit have been killed in an attack in niger. two other members of the special forces squad were wounded, among eight or ten u.s. soldiers that were fired, came under fire while conducting a grote wow patrol. the pentagon has operated a drone base there since 2013. nigeria is a landlocked nation of western africa, one of the poorest countries as you may know, about twice a side of texas. it is also teaming with terrorists. it is unclear tonight which terrorist group may have been behind the deadly attack on our soldiers. we'll keep you updated on the breaking news as it comes in. in the meantime, investigators searching for a motive and focusing their attention on the shooters girlfriend. marilou danley now back in the united states for questioning. tonight, we are hearing from her sisters. much more on that in the continuing coverage of the recovery in las vegas. straight ahead. >> she was sent away. she was sent away so that she will be not >> trace: will come back to the live coverage. investigators continue to search for a possible motive behind sunday shooting. now, they are turning their focus to the shooters girlfriend. marilou danley was out of the country at the time of the deadly rampage but here he arrived back in the states tuesday night to speak with investigators. danley issued a statement through her lawyer saying that she had no inkling about what stephen paddock was planning. her sisters say paddock bought her a cheap ticket to her native philippines, sending her away while he carried out sunday's riddle attack. >> he sent her away so that he can plan what he is planning without interruption. in defense, i thank him for sparing my sister's life. but that does not compensate for 59 people's lives. >> trace: for more now on danley's role in the investigation, let's turn to former assistant director of the fbi in new york, bill gavin. bill, thank you for joining us for one, sir. if you go think about this, we didn't get much of information about what the fbi was focusing on with marilou danley. maybe you can give us an idea, what are they looking for? they question her for five and a half hours? what is of the top of the list. what do they want to find out first and foremost? >> trace, i believe that the first part of the interview has to do with where she is going to come from, what she has to say, and it has been all neutral, what she has to say, supported by her sisters. what i think is very important in this, during the presser this afternoon with law enforcement and the fbi in particular, it is obvious to me that there is about 50% more facts that they know then are put out. i think they obviously have some individual who is very close to the whole situation, whether it be to danley or to the subject. in this particular case, they are giving them some concrete information. with that said, they now are able to prepare the questions through excellent interviewing skills and through profiles to ask the right questions of her for the future. i believe that there is a lot more that they know that they aren't saying and i absolutely agree with that technique of going with the facts, and not the theory. >> trace: the sheriff said it. we had it on the lower part of the screen, the sheriff said the gunman must have had help. that is what he firmly believes. but you look at this moment, the girlfriend, and she lived in two homes, bill, with this guy, one in reno, one in mesquite, nevada. in those homes company found arsenals of weapons. not only that, explosives and other things. there's reports that she went to a gun shop with him in the past. she knew he was buying these weapons. at some point, does the fbi say, hey, did you ever ask, what's with all the weapons? was with the explosions explos? >> absolutely they will come a trace. that is the way they are crafting the questions based on the information they are getting. there is no way a woman or a man two individuals can live together and not know exactly what is going on there. the other place that i still have a major question in my mind, trace, is the hundred thousand dollars that was sent to her allegedly to buy her new house. i am not buying that just yet. someone has to prove that to me because i have always found out, follow the money, and you will find out what the real problem is. as you can recall, that part of the world, the philippines, manila, is well aware of the way that radical extremists operate and they have been there for a long time. i still have that question in my mind. it hasn't gone away yet. >> trace: as do a lot of others, bill, people saying, with the money center for nefarious deeds? the question becomes, was it a fact where he said, i'm not going to be able to get anybody out, once i commit this crime, my assets, everything i owned will be shut down may be forever. she maybe gets it away to the philippines but you are right, there is the other side saying, and i don't buy the whole hundred thousand for a brand-new house. >> i totally agree with you, trace. it will all unfold, but i am sure that the strategy right now is to do strategic interviews of her and maybe some other people in this case because there is somebody that law enforcement has that knows a lot of information that is supplying at its vital information about us why are they are taking it slowly and factually. >> trace: former assistant director to the fbi in new york, bill gavin. good to see you come a great insight. thank you, sir. >> trace, thank you so much. one quick thing, thank you for the way you have been reporting. you haven't stretched the imagination, you have been with the facts, and real credit to fox and the news industry in general. excellent job. >> trace: you are a very kind man. thank you, bill. i appreciate that. as las vegas fights to regain some sense of normalcy, a return to routine, larger questions begin to surface. why did stephen paddock choose to unlink a massacre on innocent people? what can be done at all levels of government to protect this kind of attack in the future? >> trace: there is new information from the las vegas police department on sunday's deadly massacre at the route 91 country music festival. lots. -- watch. as you may know, 58 people were killed, 489 wounded. the killer, stephen paddock, had more than 1600 rounds of ammo along with nearly 50 pounds of explosives, according to the police. he had apparently planned to survive and escape but they didn't exactly say how. the police and other officials gave news conferences this evening, one of them was nevada senator dean heller. here's what he had to say. >> the president of the united states came in today to express his sincere concern for this community. we talked specifically about the heroes, the individuals, the deputies, the first responders, and all that, and what they were able to achieve. these stories were important for me to share with the president of the united states as he was coming into this valley. >> trace: senator dean heller joins me now in the las vegas. we have seen you at these news conferences, and are you getting your message out? do you feel like the information that is getting to the public is accurate and fast and is that the most important thing? because that is the most important thing. my conversation with the sheriff, he wants that to occur. he wants to be as accurate as it possibly can with the information that he has. keep in mind, trace, you know this, it's been less than 72 hours. it moves quickly. imagine what we will know in the next 72 hours, the background of the shooter and foreigner information on backgrounds of individuals that were unfortunate to be involved in this incident. it will be a lot more information that will be coming in the next couple of days, and we will have to hold on tight because the sheriff, the fbi, and the atf, are doing their jobs. >> trace: the news conference was astounding. he got up there, listed the information about ogden hotel, the room there, may have been doing some presurveillance over that concert two weeks ago. then we hear that in his car, not only the ammonium nitrate which we knew, but he also had 50 pounds of tannerite, which if you are using that inside the hotel room with a high-powered weapon, you can do damage. it keeps expanding. >> there is no doubt that this maniac meant to do at a tremendous amount of damage and he did. in fact, if you are listening to the sheriff this afternoon, he was talking about him trying to escape, trying to figure out how to get out of that hotel room, which he could find the escape route, and took his own life. i do believe, and the sheriff believes, his whole intention was to get up there, get out of there, and cause more havoc. >> trace: when the sheriff says that he does believe he was trying to escape, he wouldn't say why or how, it makes you think, what was he thinking. maybe you can give us more insight. i don't want to supersede the sheriff. stick with the sheriff is a smart. i'm with the sheriff. the sheriff think that is what is going on, until he is proven wrong, that is what i'm going with. >> trace: he knew he had three cameras in the hallway, he knew when the police were coming down the hall, it's amazing to think that he somehow in his mind i thought, i can make it out of here. that would be astounding. >> we will find out more about this in the days to come. we will probably trace more of his activities and find out what he was trying to accomplish. as you were talking earlier, with those barrels of fuel, we have the aviation fuel tanks over here, and shooting bullets into that thing, looking for more of a presence that what he was doing up there on the 32nd floor. >> trace: we had some government experts that were messaging me earlier and they were saying, how far do you think the tanks are from the hotel? and you were given a rough idea and it's within range. you have a high powered weapon and may be at 1,000 yards, people don't realize, this is right next to mccarran airport. in fact, there were people who were running out of the concert to push a fence down and on the grounds of mccarran airport. it's very scary when you think of how close things are and how much worse the potential could be. to speak of those are some of the questions that i asked the sheriff, what was the caliber of weapons that he had up there. there were a number of different calibers but i think most of them are .308 and .2 to three. plenty of firepower to make it across the street to get to those tanks. >> trace: there will be a debate on guns. it will be lively and it will start now and people, the reason that they start now is because they think it is the iron is hot, let's get going, let's get to bed, let's talk about something. do you starting now or for several months? >> i believe that we still have victims that haven't been identified at this point. i don't know if now is the time to have this particular discussion. i think in the weeks and months to come, that dialogue means to be had. bump stocks, you know that was an obama arrow regulation that was put into place. done by regulation. my conversations with the president today is to reverse that by regulation. it doesn't go through the whole congressional process, get to the president six months from now, maybe we could do something immediately to stop this kind of carnage because of those guns had remained a semiautomatic's, as opposed to full automatics, hundreds of people from being injured. >> trace: is one of the first ti .. these, but it's one of the first times that we have seeds of agreement. the bump stocks, we've talked to newt gingrich, there seems to be agreement. senator dean heller, great to see you. >> good to see you. >> trace: nearly 500 people wounded and sunday nights at vegas mass shooting. 500 people. it's now a little below that, but it was about that for a long time. we'll hear about it from people who experience it from firsthand when our special coverage of the tragedy in las vegas continues. you won't see these folks at the post office. they have businesses to run. they have passions to pursue. how do they avoid trips to the post office?

what is the call come in as and what is your first action? >> initially come with call came in as an active shooter with at least 20 people injured. at that point, i grabbed my partner, we got in my suv, and immediately responded to the scene. >> trace: you go to the scene and you know it's much worse than you had imagined. >> as we arrived, they were people everywhere. people were running up to us, letting us know they had been shot. we started assessing people as quickly as possible, ambulances were still arriving, we were able to place people into specific ambulances, sometimes three to four patients at a time. >> trace: you said there were people getting into a truck and you had this rolling triage. talk about that. >> one of the first interactions we had was a pickup truck that came to our location and the entire truck bed was filled with people that had been shot. initially, i was acting as a paramedic, hopped in the back of the pickup truck, started assessing people as quickly as possible, started unloading the patient some at that point, we had several ambulances, getting each patient into an ambulance, like i said, sometimes three or four at a time. after that, i had to move into more of a coordination role as a situation grew. >> trace: my guess is a lot of the people in the back of the truck bed, a lot of the people you saw, were in shock. some didn't realize how bad they were injured, so how do you assess that, how do you know someone who is badly injured but acts like they are fine because their bodies in shock? >> luckily, a lot of people has said it, they were people that were on injured that were able to tell us what some of the injuries were. with experience, you learn how to look at somebody and judgment from there. the initial assessment is what gets them into the ambulance and then the paramedics and emts did further assessments and treatments. we went at what point do you say, we have a call, all hands on deck, we got a call for everybody? we need help, all the help we can get. >> i think the realization came early on. like i said, the amount of people we were surrounded by and trying to help, the decision was made early on to get as many people as possible. at one point, we paged out to all of the off-duty crews that if they could respond, please, come to the station. in a matter of less than a half hour, we had over 160 ambulances, over 200 personnel hundred personnel. >> trace: wow. when you got here, did you hear gunfire? did you hear gunfire on the way here? >> i didn't hear any. i don't know that i would have, just because you instantly get into a mode where you are looking at people and trying to take care of things and coordinate this massive response. >> trace: where do you start? you go to a certain group of people, do you start where the closest person to you? how does that work? speak it when we first arrived, it seemed like everyone was coming straight to us. after the initial surge, we went into a coordination role, and i found the clark county fire department chiefs, and we began coordinating and as we were getting reports of patients at certain locations, i would contact the dispatchers and have hopped on mike ambulances go to that location. >> trace: by all accounts, bret, your team performed well. >> i think every agent involved performed. everybody stepped up and i would be hard-pressed to say that there was any lack of coordination or cooperation to get the job that needed to have been done. >> trace: you are assessing people and doing this triage, did you think, i cannot believe this is happening? i cannot believe the scale? >> i don't think it ever kicked in at that point after the fact. of course, when it's happening, you get into a professional mode, and you look at the task at hand. you start checking things off the list that need to happen. >> trace: it's amazing. bret dragon, we've been very lucky to have you. good work, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> trace: from the heart breaking images of death and bloodshed, emerge stories of bravery like we just witnessed with mr. dragon. when we come back, one musician turned hero over because of these break to action to lead a group of terrified concertgoers out of harm's way. and wait until you hear how he did .. ♪ if you have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or crohn's, and your symptoms have left you with the same view, it may be time for a different perspective. if other treatments haven't worked well enough, ask your doctor about entyvio, the only biologic developed and approved just for uc and crohn's. entyvio works by focusing right in the gi-tract to help control damaging inflammation and is clinically proven to begin helping many patients achieve both symptom relief as well as remission. infusion and serious allergic reactions can happen during or after treatment. entyvio may increase risk of infection, which can be serious. while not reported with entyvio, pml, a rare, serious brain infection caused by a virus may be possible. tell your doctor if you have an infection, experience frequent infections, or have flu-like symptoms, or sores. liver problems can occur with entyvio. if your uc or crohn's medication isn't working for you, ask your gastroenterologist about entyvio. entyvio. relief and remission within reach. >> trace: it's no doubt many stories over the past three days we have heard of heroism we were churning out of las vegas, musician brian hopkins is one of those heroes. as gunfire rang out on sunday, he took refuge in a freezer with the group. you were next to the stage, jason aldean is playing, you were with a guitar player, and you hear the pops. >> it was multiple times, and by the time it stayed, what i saw was, someone drops, a guy drops, the next one, 4 feet over, he drops. when i look back, no one is really moving yet. a girl drops, another girl drops next to her, and when i played it back -- yeah, anyway, he says, "run." i reach out and grab the two girls in front of me and i had just met them the day before because they wanted to take a picture with me, sweet girls. i remember them because they were nicole and nicole, i called them the echoes as a joke. i reached out and grabbed them, we take off running, and everyone is coming this way, and everyone is heading to an area that is starting to bottleneck already because there are lots of people behind us. i lost ben. i remember there is an artist entrance in the back corner, and i played a few years ago. that is where we are going. there is an artist entrance, backstage year, and i go to that one with nautically, we were going through -- not moving real fast, and it's like this, and people screaming. when we go around the corner, we take off running around the corner, and it's hitting the top of the roof -- >> trace: you can hear it. >> you can hear it hitting things. i just keep telling the girls, just keep running, we will be okay. >> trace: they are not panicking. >> no, they are not. they were calm, running with me, holding my hand, and we get to the fence area, because i remember, that is where we are growing, coming around the fence area, and its a tall fence, it's not an opening anymore. there are people back there trying to get over, people kind of like may be trying to figure out what is going on. and apparently, it's a catering company. i kept calling it a crate with two doors. it was a refrigerator. there is somebody standing in the doorway, and i just -- let's go. we run to the refrigerator. i help the girls and, help the people behind me inside and then i jump in. there are more people coming. somebody standing at the door, people yelling don't let them in, but -- let them in. we were sitting down. apparently i wasn't. the girls were saying, you're not standing down, you are standing. i'm trying to figure out what we will do next. >> trace: you think they are coming at you? >> that's not the case. but i don't know that. so there is a friend of mine in there with his girl and there are people laying low and i crouched down and then i realize, i don't want to be in here with us happens. i checked the door, and his bang, bang, bang. it sounds like it's closer, i turn around, everything is okay, and my buddy was like, no, it's not. i reached for my phone and -- people are trying to call, right? and i go to make a video for my parents. this will be for my family. here's the thing. i want to do it, i am like, okay, there is a guy standing in there, and he is drunk and he's pounding on the walls, he's mad that there is no beer in there, so he saying, his girl is on the floor panicking, the two girls, the two nicoles, both of them are talking to them. i can hear them say "what do you do? what is your name? "and then i said, is that you're a girl? and he said, yeah, and i said, there is something wrong. you need to help your girl. he kneels down, one of the girls jumps up -- >> trace: we have to end the show. >> there is a police officer. he is the one, he is a guy who told us where to go, and he ran off into danger. >> trace: bryan hopkins come a great story. thanks for coming. we appreciate it. thank you for joining us for our live coverage of the deadliest mass shooting in history, and modern u.s. history. i am trace gallagher in las vegas. ♪ if you could book a flight, then add a hotel, or car, or activity in one place and save, where would you go? ♪ expedia. >> thursday october 5th, fox news alert, americans ambushed, three green berets killed overseas, the pentagon believed is behind this attack. >> this individual was able to move this amount of deer into a hotel room unassisted. heather: disturbing details from polly suggesting the las vegas gunman did not act alone. chilling details in the potential plot just uncovered. >> critics slamming a vegas survivor for standing to shake the president's hand, the patriot's ethic response, "fox and friends" first starts now. ♪ heather: you are watching "fox and friends" first. rob: a trove of disturbing items in stephen paddock's hotel room suggest he may have been planning something more sinister. heather: the chilling question police are working to enter, did he have help? rob: we begin with adam housley in las vegas. >> reporter: reports coming out overnight late in the afternoon or evening, later in the evening in new york that the government targeted gas tanks across from mandalay bay, the private jet center at the airport. we talked to authorities about those tanks and next to our live shot location, we do know some people fleeing the scene hid in a shed. you see that picture they broke open the shed and hid inside, here is a night view of the tanks as they sit here across
New-yorkUnited-statesPuerto-ricoManilaPhilippinesNevadaNigeriaRenoClark-countyAmericansNevadansAmerica body camera video that captures the panic and the chaos as officers worked frantically just to get people to safety and to find the gunman. we're going to play you just a piece of this. but just warning you, it's tough to watch. [ gunfire ] >> go that way. go that way. go that way. >> everybody stay down. stay down. >> where's it at? >> north of mandalay bay. it's coming out of a window. >> in case you missed it, this is the moment when these officers on the ground realized that the gunshots were coming from high up above on the 32nd floor at the mandalay bay hotel. we're also getting new video showing the widespread confusion in front of that stage. people running in different directions but not knowing at all where or what they should be running from. so let's begin with brian todd. brian todd has spent the morning in the shooter's hometown. he's now back in las vegas. but brian, as we mentioned, the fbi is questioning the shooter's girlfriend right now, and obviously one of the key questions, did she have any idea of any of this? >> reporter: that is really the key question, brooke. and how much detail does she know? we're getting word they're questioning here probably as we speak at the fbi's field office in los angeles. that coming from a law enforcement official. marilou danley, this girlfriend, arrived in los angeles from the philippines overnight. you know, it is hard to overstate how important she is to this investigation. how she might be able to speak to his motive, to his movements in the weeks and months leading up to the attack, and of course to his accumulation of weapons. but we are getting varying accounts of how much she did know of the attack beforehand and maybe his mindset leading up to the attack. her sisters spoke to a cnn affiliate from australia. the sisters are in the philippines, and that's where they spoke to our affiliate and they spoke to the question of how much she might have known beforehand. take a listen. >> even though she's going to the philippines, steve said marilu, i found you a cheap ticket to the philippines. >> marilou danley is my sister. she's a good person and gentle soul. a mother, a grandmother. a sister. a friend. and i know that she don't know anything. i swear. like us. she was sent away. she was sent away so that she will be not there to interfere with what he's planning. >> reporter: in another part of that interview one of the sisters said that they believe that the shooter, stephen paddock, bought a ticket to, quote, send her away because they believe he was planning the attack and wanted to get her out of the country. so again, that's a claim from her family. what she really knew about his motive is still yet to be determined. and that's what investigators are getting at at this hour. we can also tell you that a brother of marilou danley spoke to another news outlet and said that she told him that she has a, quote, clean conscience about what happened. so it could be that marilou danley is going to claim, brooke, that she knew nothing of this attack. but look, we have information from law enforcement sources that say that stephen paddock accumulated weapons over the course of 20 years. they recovered at least 47 guns from three different locations connected to the shooting, including the hotel room and two properties he owned, one in mesquite and one near reno. one property she lived with him at that property. how she might not have known at least about his accumulation of weapons is pretty astounding here. but you know, again, they're going to try to piece together as much detail as they can from that interview with marilou danley. >> living with him, with all those guns, how she couldn't have known anything, that's part of what some of these investigators want to get to. brian todd, thank you so much for that. and anderson, to you in las vegas. >> brooke, thanks very much. there's so much that we are learning obviously in the last several hours, in the last several days. as we learn more about the investigation, president trump is learning more about the 58 people who lost their lives in this shooting. the survivors who are still recovering from their injuries. some still fighting for their lives. the president and first lady melania trump have been meeting with patients and doctors today at the university medical center, the trauma center. jim acosta is there live. jim, talk about what the president and first lady have been doing. >> reporter: yeah, anderson, they arrived here within the last hour to start meeting with those patients, the survivors here at the university medical center in las vegas. a trauma center that was basically turned into a battlefield hospital after the mass shooting a couple of days ago. what we can tell you, anderson, a little bit of an update here, we've been told that we do expect to see some kind of a video from inside the hospital here of the president and first lady meeting with patients and doctors, medical personnel here. we're not sure what that's going to entail. but we do expect to see that within the next several minutes. when we get that, we'll bring that to you. that is a change from what we had heard earlier in the day. earlier in the day we heard this was going to be closed press, they were keeping this completely under wraps. and then in the last 30 minutes or so we got an update indicating there was going to be some kind of press availability going on inside this hospital. so you're going to see the president and the first lady inside this hospital. i think within the hour. and then after that he is going to be meeting with law enforcement personnel in las vegas. some of the first responders that really ran into the line of fire on sunday night when this mass shooting was unfolding. the president expected to thank them for their service. keep in mind there were law enforcement personnel who were killed in this tragedy. so all of that heaveness is really weighing over the city right now, over the president's visit. keep in mind when the president landed here earlier this morning here in las vegas he landed, as you know, anderson, very close to the scene of this mass shooting. planes land at the international airport here in las vegas right by the mandalay bay casino. and so while we don't know yet whether the president will make a specific stop at that site, at that crime scene later on today, he came very close to it when he landed here. he'll come very close again when he leaves here later on today, anderson. >> jim acosta, appreciate that. my next guest is also a survivor of sunday's shooting. but he's speaking with me for one sole purpose, to ensure that the love of his life and best friend, his partner, will never be forgotten. cameron robinson was just 28 years old. his partner, was by cameron's side sunday night. bobby is here with me now. thank you so much for being with us. first of all, how are you and your kids holding up? >> it's all just kind of a fog right now. and i feel pretty numb. so just kind of an autopilot. making sure his mom got here safely and his sister got here safely. my kids, my oldest daughter, brooklyn, is taking it pretty hard. and the boys are young enough -- they know he's not around anymore. but the processing of it is -- >> tell me about cameron. >> cameron. i just can't say enough amazing things about that man. he's such an example to everyone that he ever came in contact in his life. he had such a rough background, where he came from, and so many trials and tribulations in his life. but he always, always strived to be better. and he never stopped. and he built such an amazing life for himself. i found out -- >> i heard your mom say that he could make anybody laugh. like you could be down having a tough time and he'd -- >> absolutely. absolutely. and when i came out four years ago, i didn't know how it was all going to go with my family. i knew that they were accepting and everything. but it took someone as special as cameron to be able to open eyes for everyone and just learn love and acceptance. i'm so grateful for him for that and for an example that he was for not only me but my family and my kids. he was just such a strong, strong person and -- >> when did you know he was the one? >> i would say right away. like we met online and we chatted for a week, and then met in person. i came down here to meet him in person and it was just the connection was too much to not like -- >> and he worked here in las vegas. you're in utah. he would drive every day 100 miles back and forth. >> yeah. he wanted -- his home was in utah when he moved in with me, and he wanted to be there, but his job and work and employees are so amazing it was something he couldn't give up. he was determined to make that work. and he drove back and forth four days a week, every day. >> were you able to -- i don't know if you want to talk about what happened that night. you don't have to if you don't want to. but what do you want to say? >> i just -- i just want to make sure that he knew that he wasn't alone in those moments and i held him and talked to him the whole time. and i know he wasn't the only victim, and i know that so many other people are going through exactly what i'm going through. and my heart goes out topher single one of them. and i really want to just make sure that the heroes of the situation are also noticed because when we were driving to the hospital we were all just loaded into the back of a truck and there was cameron that was unconscious and another gentleman that was unconscious. and there was a few other people in the back of the truck as well. and two gentlemen did cpr on both of those men the whole entire time to the hospital. and it was just so incredible to see that drive and that determination and just the will to help and -- >> strangers. complete strangers. >> complete strangers. and i didn't get their name and i don't even know their face. i just feel awful that i can't meet them and thank them for everything that they did as well as everybody else that helped so much. >> it is incredible how in the worst times, sometimes the best comes out and strangers reach out to try to save other strangers. >> right. i don't think even us or the heroes that were there realize what they were doing. it just happens. and it's an incredible gift and something i'm very thankful for because it meant a lot to me in those moments. and i know you've set up a go fund me page to help pay funeral expenses. >> yeah. >> i hope you sense all the people who are thinking about you and praying for you and all those who lost their lives. >> yes. thank you. my friend valerie set that up and it's more or less to cover any expenses and make sure his mom and sister and family members are taken care of and just to help wherever needed. and the outpour has been incredible. i haven't checked it today but i know as of yesterday it was like $18,0 $18,000. it's just so heartwarming to know there's people out there like that. >> do you know when you'll be able to get him back? >> they're hoping today. they hadn't really seen from the investigation yesterday. they were telling us that he should be released to the mortuary today. but we're going to be going down there to make plans. we're hoping he'll be there so we can see him again. >> you want to see him again? >> i want to. i need to. because i didn't get to see him after he went into the hospital. and i have to for the closure. >> is there anything else you want people to know about him? >> i just think with the example that he was i want everybody to know that no matter what you're going through or any hardship or anything he was proof that you can overcome it and not only overcome it but be so much better than what you even thought. like he just had such a drive and determination to always better his life, and he did such an amazing job of that. what he grew up with and things he dealt with. >> and he was living the life he wanted. >> absolutely. and he lived it to the fullest. and he wanted more. and he deserved more. he had so many goals and dreams. >>

because you can just as easily run into a gunshot as you can be running away from one. >> i think the body cam video is so significant because it really does take you there. and i think there are 67 body cameras they're now trying to go through. but you're right, both of us having been in war zones, you know that gunfire in an urban environment, it ricochets as far as the noise. and so frying to ascertain, especially in the dark and especially you may not be thinking of somebody firing up high. sought noise is coming from all directions around you, which really can give this illusion that oh, my gosh, the gunman's over here, when in fact the gunman may be behind and you elevated as we know in the case here. it caused a tremendous amount of confusion. the same is true for law enforcement. they're worried about the public that's in harm's way. they want to get them out of harm's way. at the same time someone else is trying to identify where is that shooter. >> that's the thing they saw on the police cam video. and that's just a small amount of video. police are trying to deal with not just with where is the gunman but also sichbsz running around and they're having to direct people don't run in this direction. people were running toward the hotel they were saying no, just run this way. you get a sense of how difficult the job is. >> most of the shootings are within seven to twelve feet. the shooting at the aurora, colorado movie theater. pulse nightclub. all short distances. when we're looking for a shooter usually we're looking on the ground, for a drive-by or something from here. here not looking up. so you have to see the muzzle flash here to know somebody's shooting from up there. >> 9 to 11 minutes also. when you look at the ammunition that he had, the number of clips, there's photographs where you see them all stacked up, and these are extended clips. stacked up like cordwood. he could quickly reload and reacquire and fire again. so the method that he had, the way he had obviously manipulated his weapons, the way he was shooting, this was a man bent on the highest body count he could possibly -- >> it does show you the benefit of the change of tactics, the importance of even if you're not a s.w.a.t. officer, getting police officers to try to confront a person as quickly as possible. because again, we don't know what was going through this person's mind or why he stopped shooting into the crowd. but perhaps he stopped shooting because he had engaged with law enforcement close up. he shot a security officer. and that changed his focus. and after that that wa his focus as opposed to -- if he had continued shooting into this crowd, he still could have shot a lot more people. >> totally true. he had the cameras outside to make sure he saw how people were coming in. here's what i have to do. is he going to ambush them? is he going to do something to them? that was right off the bat. so any s.w.a.t. team or anything going in that's the first thing you have to worry about, get the shot off right off the bat soon as you go in. >> david shepherd, martin savidge, appreciate it. a lot to learn in the hours and days and wean weeks ahead. coming up next we'll talk to a radio dj who survived sunday's massacre plus how the country music community is reacting to what happened here. weighing in on the conversations over gun control. we'll be right back. ♪ anyone who calls it a hobby doesn't understand. we know that a person's passion is what drives them.

"i cannot express how wrong i was. we actually had members of our crew with chl licenses and legal firearms on the bus. they were useless. we couldn't touch them for fear police might think we were part of the massacre and shoot us. enough is enough. we need gun control right now. my biggest regret is i stubbornly didn't realize it until my brothers on the road and myself were threatened by it." is this something -- will this be part of the conversation you'll have tonight? how are people feeling about that? >> i won't bring up the gun control issue when i'm on the air. when i'm going to do on the air tonight is talk about -- and just thank my listeners for all the support. as far as the gun control thing, i do think they need to be a little bit more careful about who -- why does anybody need that big of a rifle. why can't it just be a handgun? if you're going to have one it should just be a small one. so if there's anything i have to say about that, it should just be a small handgun if you're going to have one. nobody needs to have that kind of an assault rifle. and if they do why do they need it? >> do you think minds are changing? i know you won't talk gun control specifically tonight and that's for you to choose. but do you think minds are changing within the country music family at all? >> i do think some people will take a second look at it for sure. especially after so many tragedies and the biggest one we've seen in our time happening on sunday night. >> katie toupal, thank you so much. >> i definitely hope some people will take a second look. >> thank you so much. good luck tonight on the air. stay strong. people need voices like yours. >> thank you. >> ahead here -- >> thank you. >> -- what did she know? the gunman's girlfriend being questioned at the fbi field office in los angeles right this very moment. also ahead we're watching some pictures from the president and the first lady's visit. they are there in las vegas right now. stay with me. you're watching cnn's special live coverage. so we sent that sample i doff to ancestry. i was from ethnically. my ancestry dna results are that i am 26% nigerian. i am just trying to learn as much as i can about my culture. i put the gele on my head and i looked into the mirror and i was trying not to cry. because it's a hat, but it's like the most important hat i've ever owned. discover the story only your dna can tell. order your kit now at ancestrydna.com.

we thought we could start a go fund me account, which i did make an initial contribution to. we thought we'd raise, you know, $50,000 or $100,000. it just took off through the generosity now of over 68,000 people that have contributed, anything from $5 on up. so it's greatly appreciated. this outpouring has been tremendous. >> yeah. i think it's so important what you're doing because a lot of people don't -- there's funeral expenses to pay for. there's travel expenses. a lot of the people who survive, a lot of people wounded, a lot of people waiting to get their loved ones returned to them so they can take them home. you know, they need places to stay. there's all these expenses. what do you hope this money is going to be used for? >> we're hoping we're going to partner with the national center for victims of crime to help handle some of these expenses. i haven't gotten much sleep in the last 72 hours. my phone rang at 12:30 this morning. we had the first request for some funeral expenses. i've had three or four since then. the need is absolutely tremendous. there's families that are -- haven't claimed their loved ones yet and they're going to need to be transported. we're going to have funeral parlors that stepped up and donated funeral services, willing to donate their facilities. everybody is working. but people are going to need airline tickets. they need accommodations. and we're looking at multiple surgeries for many years to come for a lot of these individuals. some very severe injuries. there's going to be ongoing medical care for these folks. there's a lot of kids that lost moms and dads. and they're going to need some help. we want to do whatever we can to somewhat ease the pain. i can't say enough about everybody that delivered donuts and water and sandwiches and pizzas to our first responders. and like i said, the donations have just been really heartwarming. and i've said this before, but the hate that that individual rained down on the las vegas strip was met with an enormous outpouring of love in this community. >> it sure has. the ripple effects of this, it goes on for years, it goes on for a lifetime for many survivors, for many as you said kids who've lost a parent. i mean, that family changes forever from here on out and in ways that in some cases people don't even realize at this stage. that money can help not only in the immediate term but obviously also down the road in the future in terms of education expenses. i'm contributing as well. i just hope a lot of people all around the world do as well, steve. >> and we do appreciate you helping to spread the word. but this has touched everybody in this community. everybody knows somebody who's a first responder or is a victim and needs we don't think about and we can't even imagine at this time. but they're dealing with their grief, these families. and we're doing what we can to help provide some resources moving forward. and i can't say enough about the first responders. i mean, the mgm international folks and our s.w.a.t. team saved so many lives, and it could have been so much worse than it is. but las vegas is strong. we take care of our own. and we will get through this. >> yeah. those first responders who got up to that room and turned this from a situation where the gunman was focused on those thousands of people down on the ground and then at least it became a barricade situation and he stopped firing into that crowd, if he continued to fire into that crowd those first responders hadn't got there, those first officers, that first hotel security guard hadn't gotten there when they did, this sick person could have continued shooting into the crowd. steve, again, i appreciate what you're doing, and we'll continue to follow this. i'm sorry, go ahead, steve. >> i really appreciate you helping us to spread the word. and like i said, thanks to all of our doctors and nurses and paramedics and everybody that was there, fire department and metro and security people at mandalay. like i said, one of their officers did get shot in the leg by the suspect when he approached the door. and quite frankly, that's how they identified the room. and then they got to go through the door and flash bang in there and he took his own life. they did save like i said thousands. we ask for your prayers and continued support. >> well, steve, stay strong. i appreciate all you're doing. thank you very much. we're going to continue obviously our coverage. we're learning more about the victims of sunday's shooting. obviously also the president and first lady melania trump are here in las vegas. we're also learning more about as i said a lot of the people who lost their lives. you're going to learn about a 29-year-old man named sonny melton who was a tennessee nurse. he was shot while shielding his wife from the gunfire, helping her get out. i sat down with heather melton yesterday, and i just -- i want you to hear what she has to say about the love of her life. a trip back to the dthe doctor's office, mean just for a shot. but why go back there, when you can stay home... ...with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection. neulasta helps reduce infection risk by boosting your white blood cell count, which strengthens your immune system. in a key study, neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%... ...a 94% decrease. applied the day of chemo, neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the next day. neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you're allergic to neulasta or neupogen (filgrastim). ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries, and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. in patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. the most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. so why go back there? if you'd rather be home, ask your doctor about neulasta onpro. they were partners in life and at work, where someone else's life was often in their hands. i sat down with orthopedic surgeon whose husband was killed in the slaughter of 58 people here in las vegas on sunday night. sonny melton was his wife heather's surgical nurse. they loved music. they often went to concerts around the country. that was the thing they loved to do together. heather didn't really want to sit down in front of a camera. she didn't want to be interviewed, of course. but what she didn't want even more was for this killer's name to be lifted up over the names of his many victims including her husband, sonny. >> what do you want people to know about sonny? >> i think i kind of answered this question a little bit. but he was such a kind-hearted, loving, caring person. and people felt that as soon as they met him. there's not a person's life that he didn't touch that wouldn't say those same things. he was the most selfless person that i've ever met. and even until his last breath he proved that. >> his mom said that he has an infectious smile. >> yeah. everybody remembers his smile. and all the pictures that are coming out, i think everybody can say that. his name was sonny, but he literally was sunshine. when he walked in a room and he smiled. >> is that what you first noticed about him? >> absolutely. >> it was? >> yes. >> how did you meet him? >> well, we met in a bar. and he just came up with that huge smile. and he said the minute he saw me that i stole his heart. and it wasn't necessarily a relationship that was supposed to be. it wasn't textbook. >> how so? >> well, i'm a lot older than he is. and i had been going through a divorce, and i had three children and he was young and never been married. so a lot of people thought that that shouldn't happen. but i don't think there's anybody who's ever been around us as a couple who didn't feel how much we loved each other. and he -- he saved me before. he taught me what real love was. i remember looking at him on the day that he died before and thanking god that i knew what real love was. and i always said if anything ever happened with us for whatever reason and he wasn't my husband or my lover that i was so thankful for knowing that love. i'll cherish it forever. >> that you'd had that love in your life? >> yeah. i think it's so rare, honestly. but there was never a minute that i doubted his love for me. >> especially sunday night. >> yeah. >> he saved your life? >> he did. and he would do it over and over again. >> do you want to talk about that night at all? >> yeah. i mean, it's -- >> that was heather melton talking about sonny melton. this is what's happening right now. president trump, first lady melania trump coming in front of cameras after meeting with doctors, survivors. let's listen. >> some of the most amazing people. we met patients that were absolutely terribly wound ed an the doctors, the nurses, all of the people of the hospital have done a job that's indescribable. and they were full the night that it happened before it happened. >> correct. >> and they found room for many people. how many people came in? >> we had 100 come in and we admitted 50. >> what i saw today is just an incredible tribute to professionalism. and what they have done is incredible. and you never want to see it again. that i can tell you. >> absolutely. >> and the patients, the bravery. some were very, very badly wounded. and they were badly wounded because they refused to leave. they wanted to help others because they saw people going down all over. and it's an incredible thing to see. there's tremendous bravery. the police department, incredible. the people themselves incredible. people leaving ambulances to have somebody else go because they thought they were hurt even more so. the professionalism of the doctors and the medical staffs at this hospital and at other hospitals. you're saying how the coordination you had with other hospitals. >> the community covered everything. they did a perfect job. >> john, say a few words to the press. >> we couldn't be more proud of the community response. every hospital took serious patients. everybody took care of them well. and we've exercised our disaster plan in las vegas, and it was rolled out flawlessly. >> i have to tell you, it makes you very proud to be an american when you see the job that they've done and people that would not be around today are up there and they'll be leaving the hospital in a week or two weeks or five weeks and in some cases even in a few days. >> a few hours. >> one in a few hours. and you would never have believed it. so i just want to congratulate everybody. it's incredible. incredible what you've done. we met quite a few people. and believe me, they're very lucky to be here. >> what message do you have for them, mr. president? >> well, i think the only message i can say is that we're with you 100%. we are -- in fact, i invited a lot of them over to the white house. i said if you're ever in washington come on over to the oval office. and they're all saying we want to do it, how do we do it? and believe me, i'll be there for them. but the message i have is we have a great country and we are there for you. and they're there for us. >> -- gun violence problem? >> we're not going to talk about that today. we won't talk about that. >> [ inaudible ]. >> not yet. we're looking. i can tell you it's a very sick man. he was a very demented person. we haven't seen that yet. but you will know very soon if we find something. we're looking very, very hard. i'm actually going over to the police department, who likewise, doctor-v been incredible. >> unbelievable. >> the fact that they were able to locate that zone and get in there, they say 11 minutes, whatever it was they kept him busy and he stopped firing because he knew they were coming into that door at some point. i think they did an incredible job. the professionalism has just been amazing. so i want to thank you all. and we're now going over to the police headquarters. and doctors, thank you very much. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> mr. president, any response to rex tillerson's comments? >> yeah, i'm very honored by his comments. it was fake news. it was a totally phony story. thank you very much. it was made up. if was made up by nbc. they just made it up. thank you all. total confidence in rex. i have total confidence. thank you very much, everybody. >> president trump, first lady melania trump meeting with doctors, nurses, meeting with survivors who are still hospitalized on this day talking about the stories that he heard from people who in the president's words chose not to go into an ambulance because they felt there were other people who were injured worse than they were. getting out of an ambulance to allow room for others. jim acosta is standing by with us as well. he's obviously traveling with the president. jim, you know, we've seen unfortunately presidents make these kind of appearances before in other situations, in other shootings. it's one of the jobs of the president. toward the end there he was also asked about a report that rex tillerson, the secretary of state, at one point had i believe it was over the summer, had called him a moron. the president says that it's -- it was not true, that it's a phony report. >> reporter: that's right, anderson. the president and the first lady doing what is expected of a president and first lady in these types of instances. they're expected to be the consoler in chief. the president trying to play that role in las vegas, the hospital that was turned into a battlefield hospital after the mass shooting on the las vegas strip sunday night. you heard the president say in just the last several minutes, and i think it's interesting because the president is indicating what he believes to be the mental state of the gunman. he at one point described the killer as sick and demented. that is a bit more than -- obviously anybody who carries out something like this is not well in their head. but obviously the president is giving a little bit more information, a bit more of a characterization of the mental state of this gunman than what law enforcement officials have been giving to reporters in the last few days. the president was also asked as you heard there and you just mentioned this, anderson, what is going on with rex tillerson. the secretary of state. earlier this morning the secretary of state went out in front of the cameras in washington. this was a bit of a flash melodrama in the nation's capital. had to respond to reports he had called the president a moron, that he at one point thought about or talked about stepping out of his position as secretary of state. the president there just in the last several minutes saying that he has confidence in rex tillerson. and so it does appear, at least for the moment, that this may have been patched up. we'll have to see in the days and weeks to come. being a cabinet member in this administration does not always sound like it's a lasting proposition. and that may indeed be the case for rex tillerson. we'll have to wait and see how that plays out. but the president at least for today trying to put out some of the flames on that. but from here, anderson, we do expect the president to leave the hospital. any moment he's going to be meeting with first responders just down the street from us with the las vegas metropolitan police department. we do expect him to make some more remarks there. we'll wait to see what the president has to say there before he heads back to washington. but no question about it. just watching what we've seen unfold so far today in las vegas, anderson, this is a very different trip for the president and first lady than what we saw yesterday down in puerto rico where he was much more free-wheeling and much looser in terms of what he was saying with respect to what was happening down there in puerto rico. he made those sort of offhand remarks about blowing a whole in the budget and comparing what happened in puerto rico to hurricane katrina. we have not heard those sort of flippant remarks from the president so
