CNNW Anderson Cooper 360 October 8, 2015

Russians come within the 20mile limit, the u. S. Backs off. Not that they think the russians will shoot them down but the russians are aggressive flyers. They are uncertain. The u. S. Doesnt want to have any mistakes happen and certainly, not until both sides reach that Technical Agreement on how they will both fly in the skies over syria but keep themselves safe. And i understand they have also launched naval strikes in the sea. Absolutely. The u. S. Noticed ships moving into the southern caspian launching two dozen highly precise missiles in a naval bombardment of targets in western syria. Again, what this is under scoring the u. S. Says is the overwhelming majority of the targets that the russians are hitting now from the sea and from the air are in fact not isis targets but are anti regime targets, people trying to get rid of Bashar Alassad and the russians trying to keep assad in power. Barbara starr, appreciate it. Thank you. Sure. Troubling developments back here in the United States just six days until the cnn democratic debate in las vegas and polling on how well Hillary Clinton stands up to the competition. On the republican side, the same polling has a fresh take whether Donald Trumps lead is holding up and sobering news for jeb bush from voters in his home state. John king here breaking it down by the numbers. John, lets look at the polls in the lead on the republican side, donald trump is but there are warning signs, i understand. There are warning signs but lets look. This is a poll of Battle Ground states. Remember, iowa and New Hampshire come first and South Carolina and nevada. These numbers will change. At the moment people are asking is Trump Holding onto the lead. If you take this long view, leading in florida and ohio and pennsylvania. They dont vote for a long time and if you look at the florida numbers, marco rubio sitting United States senator third place, jeb bush former twomaterial governor fourth place in florida. Trump has bragging rights with florida. Ohio, no republican ever won the white house in modern times without winning it. Thats the sitting governor down there in third place, kay and i can also in pennsylvania, again, they dont vote for awhile but trump has staying power in the race at the moment. Here are the warning signs, though, in each of the states, 3 in 10 republicans, 29 , 29 and 31 say they would definitely under no circumstances support donald trump. Harder to grow support. These people say they would never support him. Hard for trump to grow. Why . Anderson, look, hes under water with favorable, unfavorable in all of these states, 57 of florida, 58 in ohio and 56 in virginia view him unfavorably. 54 in the each of three Battle Ground states so no. It could matter. They definitely matter come the general election, florida, ohio, and pennsylvania and trump in the race for awhile and his numbers, bruised up like a politician. Lets look at the democratic side. On the democratic side if you look at the numbers, Hillary Clinton, florida, ohio and pennsylvania could be critical in the democratic primary, always critical in the general election and not as bad as trump, she is under water, majority in all of these states as high as 56 and ohio view Hillary Clinton unfavbly. Thats not good news. This is the biggest trouble mark. Youre the moderator and critical for Hillary Clinton. She heads into the debate to prove to democrats shes better than Bernie Sanders and changing niece numbers with all voters. 6 in 10 voters in all Battle Ground states, hard to win the white house without two of three say Hillary Clinton is not honest and trustworthy. This is a huge challenge to try to start to change the numbers but as much as we say she has weaknesses, anderson, this is a strength for Hillary Clinton. Remember, 3 in 10 republicans said under no circumstances would they vote for donald trump. Hillary clintons numbers are lower. 13 in florida, 14 , 18 in pennsylvania meaning if she is the democratic nominee, shell have an easier time than donald trump would for example as the republican nominee. There is a big question about Vice President joe biden. If hes looking at polls now, very good news for him. There is bright shining rights if youre joe biden studying the race. Look at the numbers. Trump and clinton were under water. Joe biden is above water when you ask voters do you view him favorably or unfavorable. 55 , 47 , 52 . Is he unfavorable, good numbers. 71 say yes in florida 64 in pennsylvania compare that to Hillary Clinton, people dont think shes honest and they think joe biden is. Does joe biden care about the needs and problems of people like me . On this empathy question, joe bidens numbers are off the charts. He can look at the numbers, fav the new car on the lot now. If joe biden gets into the race, takes a few laps, hell probably get bruised up, too. Thanks for looking at the numbers. Donald trump always has plenty to say about his poll numbers and former candidates and not exactly shy as you know. No exception today in iowa. He said hes not just a gop flash in the pan like other front runners including one born in the town where he was trying to win support. Here is what he said about former congresswoman michelle ba bachmann and more. He knows trump. You know. You got the same mentality, right . I watched one of the politicians yesterday, hes at one, no chance. I think hes gone down to zero. Would you get out . Absolutely not. Were in it to the end. You know hes going to cancel out next week. They used to say Michelle Bachmann nice woman. They were there for a week. You know about Michelle Bachmann. They say they were there but for a week. Weve been there for three months, more than three months. You could see jeb was very disturbed but went up to him, what do you think of marco rubio . I would have said horrible things. [ laughter ] that sounded like right . But i saw jeb and he said, i love marco. Hes a great guy. Hes my friend, hes my dear, dear friend, im so happy hes in the race. Hes seething underneath and that i had say marco, what do you think of jeb . He said jeb is my dear, dear friend. And i said to myself this is political speak. Thats why were not getting anywhere, folks. Lets bring in paul begala and former regan white house supporter and paul is the opposite, cochairs Hillary Clinton super pact. Im big for trump. True, in a different way. Longtimed advisor. As much as these numbers show Hillary Clinton doing well, i mean, you got to want him to get in, dont you . Or do you not . You know, ive known him a very, very long time and i especially with everybody give him enough time and space. If my brother runs, my brother is a republican do you think it would make her a better candidate if joe biden enters . Yes and im not trying to squeeze hill into tm into the r. They ran against each other the last time and produced a Democratic Victory and made barack obama a better candidate and joe biden and Hillary Clinton better. A tough primary produces a tough nominee. Not that im trying to urge him to run. He needs to take the time and make the decision best for his family but he could do a lot of good. He might win for goodness sakes, i dont think he does. I think hilary will win but he could do good for his party. There was trump mania and favor pitch in august. Do you see people starting to maybe doubt him or tiring of sort of the stick . I mean, hes leading nationally. No doubt about it. Hes leading three key states, over and over again he is in the lead, but well over jeb bush, well over marco rubio in the home state of florida. Do you see anything that worries you as a supporter . No, no, hes going to sail on here. The difference between donald trump now and hermann cane and Michelle Bachmann, those are great people. I met them both. They are somewhat personality driven . This is about a cause. This isnt about donald trump pem pemply. People are angry out there and upset. They want change. They are looking to donald trump as somebody that they see as a serious change agent and thats a big deal here. That is not going away as these polls in these three swing states indicate. I got to put on my glasses to see if paul is smiles because i dont think he is. There he is. He broke out. Paul, do you think hes a serious change agent and this is a movement or personality based . Both. He is right. In fact, this is what i thought about. We are very close to trump having the same problem that hilary had which is everybody expects him to run the table. Hilary will not win every primary and caucus nor should she have to. Trump no republican has won both iowa and New Hampshire. Trump is leading in a commanding way in both. Now we see hes leading in florida, ohio, pennsylvania. The governor of florida, jeb bush twoterm governor would catch up to donald trump. Jeffrey, as a guy that wants to see trump as a republican nominee. I know you do. I do. You may see the commentary set the bar too high for mr. Trump. The same way for hilary. We got to leave it there one of the things briefly, jeff. Well, paul is right about how a primary sharpens candidates and donald trump is a better candidate today because of all this competition so thats a good thing, not a bad thing. Jeffrey lord appreciate you and paul b. Also, ben carson says he knows what he would do when faced with a mass shooter. His advice is drawing criticism. Is it insensitive or not . Were joined by one of his leading defenders. Blah if i want to go up. Hello. Or if i want to go down. No. But then if i want to come back again. Yes. Its perfect. My favorite part is to be able to lift your legs up a little bit and it feels like im just cradled. vo change your sleep, change your life, change to tempurpedic. Jake reese, day to feel alive jake reese, day to feel alive jake reese, day to feel alive. Hey, welcome back, we got breaking news on the oregon shooter background that could say his mental state. Dr. Ben carson weighing in on the question everyone asked in the wake of a tragedy like this. How would i react . I would not just stand there and let him shoot me. I would say hey, guys, everybody attack him. He may shoot me but he cant get us all. Dr. Ben carson, by yesterday everyone he was defending his remarks on megyn kelly and again this morning denying he was being insensitive to the victims who found themselves facing a killer armed with handguns and ar15 style rifle. Dr. Carson also facing criticism for a facebook q and a session which he said about treating gunshot wound victims. I never saw a body with bullet holes more devastating than taking the right to arm ourselves a way. Push back from his campaign and i spoke with a carson friend and spokesperson armstrong williams. Mr. Williams, does dr. Carson regret in any way saying quote i would not just stand there and let him shoot me . No, you know, a part of who dr. Carson is, anderson, is that youve seen these situations so many times and no matter how many times you talk about gun legislation, stopping this violence as the president stated, it seems that its routine in this country now and youve got to think that you could be in the path of these terrorists and youve got to think about how to react and what to do and what dr. Carson was saying is that he would be willing to put his life on the line in danger, willing to take a bullet to make sure that more people were not part of the carnage. There is nothing to regret. I think most people can relate to that. But how does he actually know how he would react . Lindsey graham pointed out that unless one has actually been in a situation where shots were being fired, you really have no idea how you would react. Has dr. Carson been in a situation near gunfire . Thats a fascinating question. I know youve been in the line of fire. You know, i think that is the question. You know, i had a situation early on in washington d. C. When i was with my brother and some friends and we were walking in the dark over near connecticut avenue in washington d. C. And you heard somebody screaming for their life. You could tell they were being beaten and attacked and without hesitation, anderson, i zoomed around the corner and found myself in the melee. They were trying to cut this guys hands off and had i not intervened, this guy would have been killed. My brother with me at the time who is now a state senator and my friends thought i lost my mind. None of us know how we will react in a situation like, especially for a total stranger but dr. Carson feels in those circumstances, that would be his reaction. Do you see, though, how some people might find it or make believe that in someway he was criticizing the victims who were not able to fight back, who didnt fight back or hid under their desk who ended up being killed . In no way. If anyone knows dr. Carson and watched him and read him and know what he spent most of his life doing, thats the last thing anyone could ever imagine that dr. Carson would be so heartless he could not even sympathize and understand not everyone has the capacity to act like a dr. Carson in that kind of situation. You say to act like a dr. Carson. We have no idea how dr. Carson would act because as far as you know, hes never been in any situation like this. In my 20 years of knowing him when i was watching his statements, the first thing that crossed my mind, yeah, hes the giant of guy that would put his life and everybody else with him in jeopardy to save lives. Thats the dr. Carson that ive known for all these years. There was a gentleman who did attempt to do something, got shot seven times for it, and dr. Carson was asked about him this morning on the cbs morning show and he didnt know the guys name. His name is chris mintz. He was an iraq war vet, it was his sons birthday and telling the shooter. Should dr. Carson be talking about what he would be doing in an incident if he doesnt really know the details of what happened in that incident . Anderson, there are many stories that you must consume, many things that you must watch and be a part of as a president ial candidate. You understand this and yes, there are many details and i dont think that most people would find it shocking that there comes a time when a president ial candidate or even the president of the United States may not have all the details. It doesnt mine miez the fact he cares, hes empathetic in the fact he cannot talk in terms of the future Something Like this happens again, what we can do as human beings to show our humanities to prevent further carnage. Mr. Williams, pleasure to talk to you. I do appreciate it. Thank you, anderson. There is actually advice from experts in the field about what to do when youre anywhere close to what Law Enforcement calls an active shooter. There are steps people can take that could save your life. Randi kaye tonight investigates. Reporter as disturbing as this looks, its only a simulation, a training video designed to teach people how to respond to an active shooter threat. No plan and experts say your chances of surviving drop dramatically. [ gunshots ]. Reporter a Training Program was developed by a dallasfort worth Police Officer whose wife was an eloqueementary school principle. It teaches proactive survival strategies. A. L. I. C. E. Stands for alert, lockdown, inform, counter, evacuate. The worst thing potential victims can do is wait to act. Once you are aware of the shooter, alert others. Is this 911 . There is a shooter outside the building. Reporter then go into lockdown. As more information comes in, inform police. But what if the shooter is already inside your classroom like in oregon . Experts suggest trying to negotiate with him. If that doesnt work, then hiding or playing dead. Only as a last resort should you physically confront a shooter. Throw anything you can at him, chairs, books, whatever it is to distract him, disruptions that create noise and movement can hurt the shooters accuracy, that could be a lifesaver. Countering the suspect is all about survival. And finally, if you can, evacuate. Randi kaye, cnn, new york. As we said, were just now learning more about the roseburg shooters time in the army. What are you learning, ryan . Anderson, we are learning now details. The gunman from the Oregon College shootings tried to kill himself for the reason for his discharge from the army. Were learning that from sources that told pamela brown this information. A lot of questions why he was discharged. Were leaning it was because of a suicide attempt. And i understand Police Released details regarding events of the day of the shooting itself. More heroic action from Police Officers. Two detectives arrived and knew there were 35 students inside. They heard shots but did not want to fire until they had an eye on the shooter and once they had the eye on the shooter, they fired three shots toward him hitting him once in the side. The two officers being called heroes did not want to step in front of the cameras today. Appreciate the update.
