House, the president and his staff, appear to be very cognizant of the fact that this city is still very much in the grips of a terrible, terrible event that took place just a few days ago, anderson. Jim, just for claritys sake, i didnt hear Rex Tillersons press conference or statement earlier today. I know from what i read he called the president smart. But did he deny having called the president a moron . Reporter at that particular press conference, anderson, he did not deny that he called the president a moron. We do know in the last several minutes that the state department spokesperson, nauert, was talking to reporters in washington and she did deny that she said she talked to the secretary of state and the secretary of state told her that he did not call the president a moron. Now, that did not come from the secretary of state himself. But if you listen to what the president had to say just a few moments ago, at the moment it appears even though privately were told hes not happy about any of this, it does appear for the moment that he is satisfied from what he heard from the secretary of state earlier this morning. But abandnderson, another thing to be weighing on this president , on this white house, he cant just be throwing cabinet members overboard once a week. He just unloaded his health and Human Services secretary on friday over those private plane trips that tom price was taking. You cant necessarily have a situation where the hhs secretary steps down on friday and then the secretary of state is gone a week later. That does not bode well quh it comes to how the world views this administration and whether its in a state of constant turmoil. So that may be weighing in on all of this. That is obviously something that i would imagine officials inside the west wing are thinking about, that perhaps they have to weather this storm and then deal at a later date with these obviously very tense, not very warm feelings between the president and his own secretary of state. Anderson. Yeah. Jim acosta, appreciate that. As jim said, the president heading now to talk to Law Enforcement, to First Responders. Obviously to praise their efforts and meet with them. Sara sidners also joining us right now. And youve been talking to so many family members whove lost loved ones. You talked to three young people who lost their mother. Is that right . Thats right. To see the president obviously consoling people its one of the duties of the president , one of the roles of the president. But there is so much grief here. And i think for many of the people that ive spoken to, theres adrenaline that sort of gets you through the first couple of days. Theres the horror of it, the shock of it. Plans to be made. Funeral arrangements to be made. Waiting for your loved one to be able to even reclaim them and bring them home. But its often in the weeks, in the months ahead when family members then move apart and friends go on with their lives. The reality of what happened here sets in. Thats right. And i think when you start thinking about that, we had a really interesting conversation because i know a lot of people dont want to bring in politics to this. They really, really dont. They want to be able to grieve. The family i spoke to, the tonks family, they had not gotten the body of their mother back yet. Theyre still waiting for that. And they were hoping that today would be the day. But i did ask them, and they did talk to me a little bit about guns and what they thought about guns. And it was a really interesting conversation because it shows you the complexities of it. 14yearold son grayson, who was the most eloquent young man, sweet as pie and very close to his mother, he said you know what, if there were no more guns there would be no more war. And he liked that idea. But then his grandfather said, but the issue that we have here is that if there are no more guns, if theyre banned, only the bad guys will have the guns. Hes like its complicated, theres a lot of complexities in this. So it was interesting to see a generational difference between the two of them, and they were able to talk through it in such a way. But ultimately all they wanted to do was grieve their mother. And they are still in that shock stage. They really are. It has not set in yet. Yeah, i think for many families. Its still for many people its still unbelievable. Standing here just over the shorld theres a memorial of people still gathering. And over to the right you can still see at the mandalay hotel, you can still see the broken windows, the two broken windows where the gunman set up his position. So brooke, theres obviously a lot of healing still to take place not only for people who were directly affected but really for so many people in this city who are just shaken by what went on. For some time to come. Anderson, thank you. Well get back to you momentarily. Meantime, lets get back to the other piece of this, the breaking news in the investigation into this mass murder. Right now this woman is sitting down with the fbi. Her name is Marilou Danley. She is the gun mans girlfriend. And at this stage in the investigation she may be the only person who can shed any sort of light on how a 60something gambler and Real Estate Investor with absolutely zero criminal history came to commit the deadliest mass shooting in modern u. S. History. Danley is now back from a trip to her native philippines where her sister her sisters believe she was sent by this shooter so she wouldnt interfere in her boyfriends plans of mass murder in las vegas. So well bring you any news that comes out of that interview as soon as we get it. Meantime, President Trump, as you well saw him, at the Medical Center there, now having met with some of the survivors and the victims and staff, you heard him say he would be heading on to talk to police and those heroes from such a tragic evening. Police have now released body camera video that captures the panic and the chaos as officers worked frantically to get people to safety and find that gunman. Were going to play you just a portion of it. But just to warn you, it is tough to watch. [ gunfire ] go that way. Go that way. Go that way. [ sirens ] theyre shooting right at us, guys. Everybody stay down. Stay down. Where is it at . [ inaudible ]. North of the mandalay bay. Its coming out a window. And in case you missed this, this was the moment these officers on the ground realized that the gunshots were in fact coming up from high above at the 32nd floor at the Mandalay Bay Hotel. We are also getting new video showing the widespread confusion in front of that stage. People running in all kinds of directions, not having any idea where they should be running or from whom they should be running. So with me now is brian todd, who is live in las vegas. And lets just go back to this girlfriend piece, brian, because she is sitting down. Shes being interviewed, interrogated, what have you, by police, by fbi. But its my understanding youre getting a little bit more information on the shooters stockpile of weapons. What have you learned . Thats right, brooke. Cnn was told a short time ago by a spokesperson for the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms, atf, that Stephen Paddock bought 33 weapons, most of them rifles, between october 2016 and september 2017. That is according to an atf spokesperson who spoke to my colleague, kyung lah, a short time ago. So youre getting kind of more of a picture of his accumulation of weapons. Weve already been told by a Law Enforcement official familiar with the investigation that Stephen Paddock had been accumulating weapons over the course of at least 20 years. And again, more information about the weapons that were confiscated right after the shooting in three separate locations. The Mandalay Bay Hotel room, his property in mesquite, nevada, and also a property that he owned near reno, nevada. Law enforcement officials told us last night they confiscated 47 excuse me, 47 guns at those three locations. So youre getting this picture. His accumulation of the weapons. Also today, brooke, were told that his girlfriend, Marilou Danley, now has an attorney named matt lombard and that mr. Lombard is going to be issuing a statement later today. Well be waiting to hear what he has to say about the questioning of miss danley. As you mentioned, shes going to be absolutely crucial. Her sisters spoke to our cnn affiliate in australia. And talked about whether she knew anything about anything in advance about this attack. Heres what they had to say. She didnt know shes going to the philippines until steve said, marilu, i found you a cheap ticket to the philippines. Marilou danley is my sister. Shes a good person. A gentle soul. A mother, a grandmother. A sister. A friend. And i know that she dont know anything as well, like us. She was sent away. She was sent away so that she will be not there to interfere with what hes planning. The sisters saying that she was sent away by Stephen Paddock so she would not interfere with whatever he was planning. The sisters implying very strongly that she did not have any foreknowledge of what was planned. In another interview a brother of Marilou Danley spoke to another news outlet, saying that she told him forgive me, brian. Here is President Trump speaking with police and some First Responders. Theres really a lot of stories that are great heroism. Absolutely. Tremendous number of stories. But what the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police did is ive always known you guys. You really proved it. Hes a sick, demented man. Have they been able to find out anything else . Its a little bit soon. Still a little bit soon. We have a couple good leads. And were working our way through that. Were going to get the answers. There might be something there. The wires are screwed up. But there might be something there. Well, again, im going to say a few words to your group, but i just wanted to come in and say hello and congratulate you. I was a fan before this. You know that. Everyone in this room knows that. A big fan before this. And i guess if you can be more of a fan i guess im even more of a fan now. But you showed the world, and the world is watching. And you showed what professionalism is all about. Because that was about as fast Something Like that could take place for hours and hours and hours and you cant figure it out. You should be very proud, sheriff. Just a matter of identification. Officer hancock there at the end to your right there, he was the first s. W. A. T. Officer to engage the individual. And officer bitsfield there, the canine officer that assisted with that initial engagement. Officer morris and officer burke there were the two officers i described that were there and partnered with the security. They did a good job, didnt they . They did a good job. Now his option would have been try to do it himself, but if it doesnt work you wouldnt have had the information maybe, right . Right. He did the right thing . He did. We relied on him for the information. Thats really great. So everyone else behind the press there were integral in saving neutral lives. The gentleman right to your left, that firefighter right there was off duty watching the concert and remained and saved several lives. I think its important for its important for you to know that every Single Person in here was instrumental in lifesaving measures. And these two young ladies here were our dispatchers. Theyre probably the most important people in the room. Calm and strong and sharp. If you ever have the opportunity to listen to the radio traffic, these two young ladies are amazing. Decided to go to college. [ inaudible ]. And a margarita. Every Single Person in that room helped save lives sunday night. You just heard the sheriff. That was police, fire, First Responders sitting around that semicircle with the president and the first lady as he was thanking them, congratulating them, saying he was obviously a fan, to use his word, of the heroism on display. Keep in mind several Police Officers were killed in that mass murder sunday night there at the mandalay bay haute until las vegas. And even included some of the young women, the dispatchers, talking about having to be cool and calm under pressure when all hell is breaking loose on the ground. Art roderick is with me. Hes our cnn Law Enforcement analyst. And just to see a scene like that, trying to put myself in the shoes of the Police Officers and the firefighters, the heroes sitting there with the president of the United States, what did they want to hear in those sorts of situations . In this type of situation you want to hear support from the president. And thats exactly what the president did. I mean, you had anywhere from dispatchers and the initial Law Enforcement officers that respondsed. It was good to hear the kind words from the president. And that always bolsters exactly whats happened. This is what he needs. Hes gone and visited the victims. Hes visited the First Responders. And i think thats a very good thing to do to help bolster because these people are all running on adrenaline right now and still havent been able to sit down and take a look at this situation. Let alone sleep or when they try to sleep. Its impossible. I want to ask you about this girmfriend whos being interrogated, or questioned i should say, right now. But quickly on the reporting from kyung lah and the fact that we know the shooter accrued 33 firearms, mostly rifles, between september of 16 and october of 17. For people who just dont know guns, i mean, when youre accruing again, he had no criminal history, apparently passed the background checks. Is there not some alarm that goes off . Do separate gun shops not talk . When someone starts accruing weapons in that number, is that okay . I mean, you would think there would be alarms going off. But no, because he spread his purchases around to several different gun shops. And its not only the weapons that he accrues but also the modifications he made to those weapons, which means he had to go somewhere and practice or had to have knowledge about how to modify those weapons. Some of those weapons that i saw are set up for an expert or a sniper, they were set up based on those types of modifications and he had to have some knowledge or training in order to do that. Do you think Gun Shop Owners in this country are trained to hear what a virtually fully automatic weapon would sound like . And that would send off alarm bells at a range . It would. Sometimes you can go to some ranges and they have automatic weapons set up there for you to try and use. So its not unusual to find automatic weapons at the gun range. They usually have an experienced individual with you while youre firing that weapon. But no, thats not unusual. And the 12, you know, bump stocks that he bought, thats a lot. That is a lot. One more quick question. On the girlfriend, shes being questioned by the fbi. What are shes lawyered up. What are the key questions . I mean, from a Law Enforcement perspective we want to find out what the motive is. The motive is the key here. We know he meticulously planned this over what sounds like a full year. I mean, thats a lot of planning to go into this. Not only to take care of the girlfriend, make sure shes away, transfer 100,000, but to purchase the weapons, purchase the mod fick augss on the weapons but also to pick that particular location which is far enough away to cause panic within that crowd and we know theres a lot of injuries of people just trying to get away. Art rodr thank you so much. On the investigation piece. We continue to hear these voices and share these stories of not only the victims but the survivors. And coming up next well talk to a man who bonded with a total stranger at the concert sunday night and saw her hit by gunfire. He stayed with her and stayed in Constant Contact with her family. Their story is coming up next. 9 out of 10 couples prefer a different mattress firmness, so we created the only bed that adjusts on both sides to your ideal comfort, your sleep number setting.

All i remember saying was, my boyfriends beating me and she took it from there. And all of this occurred in four minutes or less. I am grateful we all made it out safely. People you dont know care about you. Its kind of one of those things where you cant even thank somebody. To protect what you love, call 1800adtcares were expecting to see President Trump meeting with Police Officers very shortly. Survivors continue to share their stories, what happened here in las vegas. Its our hope that this tragedy will be defined by the incredible acts of heroism and friendship that we continue to hear. This next story is a remarkable example. Michelle vo was attending the Harvest Festival alone when she met Cody Robertson at one of the venues bars. They became friends and watched the performances together that night. About 20 yards from the stage when the gunshots rang out, a bullet struck michelle in the chest. Her sister, kathy, described her infectious kindness. She was really, truly beautiful, inside and out. Are and she had this bubbly, infectious personality. And its so magnetic.
