Towards eye an environmental disaster. We begin with the president. At this hour, the New York Times reports that those who know President Trump are growing increasingly concerned with heir erratic behavior. Some Trump Officials in recent days said they were increasingly worried about the president s behavior, suggesting that is it stems from rising pressure on mr. Trump as the economy seems more worrisome. Heres the behavior, in one single day, President Trump doubled down on accusations that jewss are disloyal or ignorant if they vote for democrats. They shared clips of a conspiracy theorist who calls israel the king of israel or second calling of christ. And hes attacked the Prime Minister of denmark because she called his idea to buy greenland absurd. These taken an indiscernible stance on background checks while bragging that mass shooting victims love him. Hes threatened to send isis fighters to u. S. Allies in europe. And hes blamed obama no less than 20 times for virtually all of the problems that hes facing. Our first guest advised the president pretransition team. Hes currently a an assistant law professor at george mason university. What is your reaction to the president s behavior . Its not unexpected. The guys always had problems on his best day. I think the hope for the future is democrats nominate someone who is moderate who can work with republicans. And we can get together in the posttrump era. I think the irony of the damage hes done is that the divisions hes created in trade and immigration, actually open up a possibility for an event window for bipartisan reform if we can get rid of this guy. Are you talking to white house officials . Are they concerned . I am, current folks in the white house in my policy area financial services. The level of concern isnt higher than before. I think for the most part, they tend to try to ignore him and go about their business, go about their jobs. I certainly dont think any of them are proud of him. So its not necessarily registering for them any more this erratic behavior but for you it is . But its growing worse and worse. I cant explain it. Frankly, i dont want to get in this guys head. Id like to focus for the future. I hope the Democratic Party looks for a nominee who can work with republicans like me. I want to bring in White House Correspondent kaitlan collins, you have new reporting about where of the president s closest advise er Jared Kushner and ivanka trump are in the middle of this . Yes, brianna, as the president has been rotating through the controversies, two of his top advisers Jared Kushner and ivanka trump has been flying under the radar. A pattern weve seen of the two of them in the past but for the past week where theres been uncertainty about the economy. Questions about whether or not the president is going to support background checks. Hes been retweeting conspiracy theorists getting into a fight with the danish Prime Minister. And reports where the president is doubling down on comment where is he thinks jewish people who vote for democrats are being disloyal. We know that Jared Kushner and ivanka were in wyoming for a family vacation. Overall, user seen them be essentially missing in action as the president has been facing these controversies. These questions about comments hes made. Even though hes doubling down on the comment, especially about the one about people who support democrats as you saw from the white house yesterday. Now, this fits a pattern that weve seen from Jared Kushner and ivanka trump at times during times when the administration tried to repeal parts of obama care. And of course, the big one has been has been the comments that the president has made about jewish people who are supporting democrats. Jared kushner and ivanka trump are both orthodox jews. Theyve been involved with the president on things. But neither of them have said anything publicly about the president s comments. And when we asked the white house have they been advising the president privately on this, the white house did not get back to us on a question or, on an answer, regarding that. We know theyve advised him privately. But theres still question about what exactly they have said to the president about this. Whether or not theyre going to say anything publicly. Brianna, as you know, thats something theyve faced criticism in the past. Indeed, j. W. , i want to revisit that the New York Times oped, that Anonymous One written by a white house official in september of last year it said, meetings with him veer off topic, off the rails, he engages in repetitive rants and his impulsiveness results in halfbaked illinformed and occasionally reckless decisions. And americans should know that there are adults in the room. That was last year. Is there some in your estimation adults in the room . I still have respect for adults in the room. Congress is not going to move on impeachment obviously at this point. Theyre trying to do the right thing and implement apologies and keep things from going off the rails. But public, i think the world is going to remember the decisions they make now. Former white house information director Anthony Scaramucchi suggested that the cabinet invoke the 25th amendment. In this case, hes making the argument, incapacity. As an attorney, is there tl anything to that . I mean, absent some finding by a physician, i dont think wed go there. I dont have any information for that. But i do think its been very dangerous, the way hes flirted with the idea that postelection, if he loses, he would challenge the legitimacy of the vote and may not step down, may not leave. I dont think that would be successful. I dont think the secret service would stand for it. I dont think the armed forces would stand for it. I dont think the cabinet would stand for it, but it is dangerous that hes talking abe that right now. We do want to know when hes having these moments when hes behaving particularly erratically, why is that . There are folks in his corner who suggest this is because of the pressure right now, due to the economy questions about when a recession will happen, is that something that could happen before the election . Before that,s erratic tendencies were explained to being linked to the Mueller Investigation and the pressure he was being put under there. Does it matter, though, to you the reason why . Its a highpressure job. Its the most highpressure job in the world. An investigation, lots of president s have worked under investigations. And at the same time, accomplished tremendous things. I dont think it matters. I think its irrelevant. I dont think theres any excuse for his behavior, no. J. W. Verrett, thank you for coming in. Good to be here. And trumps unconventional presidency and troubling tactics could lead to something weve never really seen. A serious intraparty primary challenge to a sitting president. Right now, former Massachusetts Governor bill weld is the only official challenger. And then mark sanford considering a run, he wants to bring a spending deficit debt into this conversation but still says he would vote for trump over a democrat. And now theres former congressman joe walsh who says he should know by labor day whether hes going to launch a challenge against President Trump. He spoke to cnns john berman. The Republican Party will always, always forget the fact that they did not call this man out. Somebody has to. If you feel that way, are you running against him . Im strongly, strongly considering it. There are bigger names than me. There are bigger former senators and members of congress. But none of them have the courage to step up and challenge him. John, this is the time where somebodys got to be brave. Trumps a bully. And hes a coward. And the only way you beat a bully and you beat a coward is to expose them, is to punch them. Donald trump has been a con man his whole life. Again for the life of me, john, i dont know why any other republican cant say this. I think a good challenger can win, again, john, only if they make the moral case. This guy is unfit. He lies every time he opens his mouth. If youre not going to say that, dont even challenge him. Is it worth running, though, even if you cant win . Yeah. Sarah longwell is with us. Shes republican strategist and executive director of defending democracy together. This is an organization with a goal to take trumpism out of the Republican Party. You have been looking for somebody to challenge the president. Heres joe walsh, is he the guy . Joe walsh is an interesting candidate especially because in 2010 when he was in congress he was actually like a proto trump, someone saying incendiary thinking calling President Trump a muslim. Now, hes had this throw to damascus moment. And going at trump really hard and that distinguishes him from everybody else who has thrown their names out there a little more on the establishment side. Hes more of an insurgent. So, he piques n s your inter for sure. Really, the fight is very important as well. Why run if youre not aiming to win . Yeah, i dont agree with this idea that somebody should run regardless of whether or not they could win. Ronald reagan ran in 76, he ran down what the Republican Party was going to be. I thought somebody like Governor Hogan or ben sasse can do that. I think joe walsh is making a different thing. Youre talking about a thoughtout, laying the road map for the future. Just to be clear, who are else are you looking at here . Mark sanford, hes talking about a run, because he wants to get back to those fiscal conservative roots of republicans. But hes still not, say, a vote over democrat over a republican. Yeah, hes still saying he would vote for President Trump. This is where joe walsh is different. Hes coming at it i would never vote for this guy. Another one interesting would be a nikki haley. John kasich. Jest flake. Who knows. With this president , who knows where things can go. Its an erratic time. Whether the economy take a downward turn. Who knows where this could lead. Very interesting, sarah longwell. Since el paso and dayton there have been dozens of aarresting.

The city of lancaster, california, is on edge as Police Search for a sniper. A barrage of bullets rained downen on a Los Angeles County sheriffs station yesterday hitting a deputy. And Authorities Say his injuries are minor, thankfully. They believe the gunfire came from a nearby fourstar Apartment Building that serves as a Mental Health living facility. The incident follows two Mass Shootings in dayton and el paso. And authorities have arrested at least 29 people for threats. The suspects seem to fit a pattern. Most of them are 13 to 38 years old according to the ages that police have released. The majority are white males. 18 out of 29 threats were made on social media. And some of the biggest targets are schools, walmarts and places of worship. Here with me is kathryn is schwhite hes an expert on mass shooters. Shes one of the nations preeminent experts on mass shooters. Thank you for coming in to lend your particular expertise here. Why do you think wee seen this state of Mass Shootings, i dont want to forget the one in gilroy, california, because there were a number of those that precipitated el paso, indeed. Why is this occurring . Is that your question . Yes. Its a where are multifaceted why. I think if we look to solve it. If we want to soft it, lve it, to look to how can we catch the people who might be doing it. Its really what were looking for is kind of not a profile of a person. Not a white male who is 20 years old. Were looking for anybody, although most of these shootings that occur absolutely are all males. They hit all demographics. All age ranges. And as you said, a lot of these people were identified through social media. That is the key. Were looking for the behavir of social media interaction by them. Thats them reaching outside for whatever reason to find kinds people, to brag about what they want to do. Because they have a grievance and theyre all frustrated and fair feeling hopeless, and they want to lash out, so, theyre doing that. So, what we want people to do is look for behaviors like posting in social media or other actions. Posting threats on social media . Posting threats on social media but actions in their own home. Give us examples, these are things that teachers, family members, neighbors could be looking for . Absolutely. Fbi Research Shows if the subject is 17 or under, chances are teachers are going to be the first ones. Peers are going to be the first ones to see the actions by potential shooters. If theyre over 17, theyre likely to be peers, coworkers and most importantly, partners, spouses, domestic partners. So theyre looking for social media postings. Theyre reaching out to find likeminded folks on opinions and other behaviors . Absolutely. We know from research, were looking for what categorizes itself as atypical behaviors. So, if you have never shot a gun before, and you buy a gun, thats an atypical behavior for you. If you have a gun, you use guns, you grow up in an area that they hunt and fish, thats fine. But is the behavior of that person with regard to firearms suddenly changed. Are they buying more firearms. Fbi Research Just released last summer said 40 of the weapons used between 2000 and 2013, 40 were purchased for shootings. Is your amazon account at home suddenly click, click, click and theres packages arriving that include bulletproof vests and other types of ways that a shooter can harden themselves, more ammunition, more clips. So were looking for not just firearms. Were looking for other things like have you started to have you stopped like are you giving your things away. Have you stopped participating in life . Have you moved to isolate yourself . These are all things that peers, families members are the first ones. We know from research, 80 to 90 of the time, there are signs that people see and they look the other way. Thats the hard part. They look the other way, they deny it. Because theyre in denial. So, if were talking about the younger shooters, like you said, teachers, peers are going to see things. Right. Parents also need to have a dose of reality, right . Yes. What do they need to do . Yeah. Thats a big concern, too. Because although as many of these shooters are in their 20s and 30s and 40s, its super important to remember, as a parent, your job is to make sure that you dont have a lock on your kids door. That you know what theyre doing. That they dont have a degree of privacy that complete will you shuts you out . Exact
