That red flag is a warning to the beachgoers here, going into the water today is not a good idea. There are rip currents. Theres building surf. So in that sense there is a growing indication of what is, indeed, coming. Hurricane nate will be a category 1 possibly a category 2. That can cause people a false sense of security. Not only here in alabama, but in new orleans, as we look in new orleans in and around the area, can you see folks have been getting sands bagging operationsnd way. Thats because the city lies low. Also there is an additional problem. The pumps of the 120 pumps there, more than a begin pumps if recent weeks have failed. When they fail the water can then cause flooding in certain areas. Thats why in new orleans, there are now some mandatory evacuations in certain parts of the city t. Power Company Spending the day yesterday as well as today making sure that the power lines are attended to. Ideally, those power lines will stay in place, especially for the pumps. The pumps relean on electricity. I think one of the biggest things of greatest concern along the gulf coast back here to alabama is the number of tourists who really are not paying lot of attention to whether folks are on vacation, all they want to know what is it going to be like outdo you, . Unaware that nate is in the gull. There are a lot of people waking up today realizing, hearing from others in hotels, that there is a hurricane coming, they need to make a plan t. Problem is, are you on vacation, its hard to necessarily make a plan, because you are not sure what to do. You are relying on local officials for that sort of help. Looking behind you, those skies look pretty ominous, wake up, look out the window, you can see its coming. That understand so much from orange beach. I know we will check in with you as we will Ic In With Bonnie in a little bit in Weather Center new details in the las vegas investigation after chasing up
to a thousand leads, officials are turning to the public for help and information, they are trying to piece together the motive. The bigger Question Police are trying to figure out is if the gunman had help. We are very confident that he did not there was not another shooter in that room. What i cannot confirm to you today and what we continue to investigate is, whether anybody else may have known about this incident before he carried it out. Nbc news ron allen is in las vegas with more on that. A very good morning to you. Its not as if someone was in the room helping to pull the trigger. Its whether they knew or helped him in some fashion to get all those guns up there to that room or some level of the investigation. What do we know about this . Reporter well, yes, theyre looking to determine whether there was an accomplice, but they dont think there was an accomplice, in other words, somebody involved in the crime, knew about it. Knew about the plot and presumably could have done something to stop it. They seem to think he acted alone. They seem to think he got some help along the way, maybe in transporting some of these weapons from one place or another or the explosive material in the vehicle. But that help may have come in any fashion. Again, it may not be a criminal matter. They again have consistently said that they think this guy was able pull this off this horrible thing off by himself. Let me show you here where we are. This is the memorial thats been growing. Its 6 00 in the morning, there are already dozens of people here, they have been coming all night. For the past couple of days, there is a steady stream of people this community is hurting. Its grieving. Its mourning, that will go on for some time. There are events planned this weekend to help the Community Come back together. Heres what they said about the extent that they looked into this individual steven paddocks personality, his back broundz to try to determine why he did this. Heres what they had to say. We have looked at everything, literally to include the suspects personal life, any political affiliation, his social behaviors, the Economic Situation and any potential radicalization that so many have claimed. We are also aware, of course, that isis has repeatedly claimed responsibility, which today i can tell you that we have no known nexus, too. Reporter there are a lot of, there is a lot of new information about what he did and how he acquired more ammunition. But how he did things but not why he did things and thats what the authorities are really seem frustrated at and remember its one of their own, las vegas pd officer was amongst those killed in this thing. Again, there are deep wounds in this community. Thats why i think its so important for this investigation to come to some sort of answer
to the question of y. It wont make sense, there is no sense or reason why you open fire on a crowd of 20,000 people, but emotionally, i think people want to be able to put something at the end of the sentence as to why this happened, what this guy was motivated by. Thats not happening. That tends to happen in these cases, whether its its ideological motive, a racial motive, a romantic thing. None of that seems to be relevant to this. Theyve gone down a lot of holes and come up with nothing. Yeah. Thats sounding. Ron allen there in las vegas. Thank you so much for that. Joining me to discuss all this, sean henry, former Assistant Director of the fbi and msnumbers contributor. Always good to see you a. Week nearly after the shooting, so few clues on a motive, but the planning, talk about how much must have gone into this, there are so few traces. Have you ever encountered a case like this from that perspective,
this magnitude of a case with so few clues . Reporter well, when i look at this Casened Aliceen to the sheriff talking about running do under the leads, he talked about a thousand leads and i absolutely know Law Enforcement through multiple agencies are coordinating and trying to get to the bottom of this, but its still less than a week and theres a lot more investigation to go through. Im certain of that. Clearly, he planned. The guy was very meticulous. We looked at prior events where he may have booked hotels, perhaps through credit card receipts and financial evaluation that he had opinion at other venues and scouting out other venues. So this is something planned over many weeks, many months, many years, its unclear until we get to that motivation. I got to tell you, im interested by this whole isis piece. While there is no clear connection at all. In fact, if the sheriff says we got nothing there related to isis t. Fact they came out the
very day or next day, within 24 hours and said he was working on behalf inspired by them. I have not seen that before. Typically, its been days before isis has come forward after theyve done some vetting. I talked to an fbi profileer last night about this specifically. We speculated whether or not isis came out knowing he had no connection at all to isis, just to put that doubt that seed of doubt. So when there are other incidents in the future, people question the motivation. Oh, absolutely t. Prospect of them saying we will take credit for this, as if we inspired this horrible massacre. I can see that conversation right there. But you heard the under sheriff there saying he cant confirm whether anybody else may have known about this incident, in police speak, you think they believe its likely someone else was involved or at least knew about it . They may have picked up a clue or indications of that, that they have not been able to corroborate one way or the
other. I think until you find a clear, definitive motivation, all options are on the table. The police, the sheriff here in this case, they dont want to make that declarative statement until theyve gone through all of the facts with a fine tooth comb. Theyve got to be thorough. This is a very important investigation. There are lot of lives impacted. Thousands of lives when you think about the Family Members suffering through this grief. They want to ensure theyre thorough and that within they put information out, its accurate and able to help resolve this question, alex. What about the reports, sean, he had booked those hotel rooms overlooking at festivals and venues in chicago and boston near fenway park there. This happened months before las vegas. So how does that behavior fit into the picture . I think we will see some more activity like that. You make those determinations by doing a thorough analysis of his financial transactions, perhaps his mobile devices, looking at phone calls hes made, looking at web searches, if you got that
off his devices and credit cards where hes gone out and reserved these hotels. Its all a part of piecing this together and looking back as far as you have to go. They may be going back, i would imagine years, looking at this man, when he started to accumulate those weapons, what was happening in his life around those moments and try to piece that altogether leading up to the events of last week. There are obviously a lot more questions than answers. I can see the anguish in the police, because they want to get these answers out. They see it as their obligation to the public. Theyre working hard to do. That i think we will see somebody out there who is aware of something, ma ib not plotting with him, but certainly was aware of what he was doing in terms of accumulation of weapons, something he may have said. Something they triggered when they think about all this. Good to see you, thank you so much. We told you, a new tweet from President Trump about obamacare. This was delivering a twist many
may not like. We got reaction to that next. Liberty mutual stood with me when i was too busy with the kids to get a repair estimate. I just snapped a photo and got an estimate in 24 hours. My Insurance Company definitely doesnt have that. You can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™ Liberty Mutual insurance. Consensus in d. C. , are kelly, mattis and tillerson, are they the only thing keeping the country from chaos . I think that consensus is general kelly and the other generals are definitely keeping President Trump from being as bombastic, as erational as impulsive as he would be. There is a reporting out there that aides said both kelly and President Trump really coached him how to get through the Las Vegas Shooting and his reaction, so they essentially urged him to really think about how he was going to tweet, to keep it simple, focused. Of course, they didnt do that they tried to do that with puerto rico. Obviously, that was a completely different situation t. Issue is tillerson, everyone in d. C. Sees him as a lame duck Secretary Of State. Hes one people thinks his days are numbered. Hes on record essentially or hes even accused of calling the president a moron and hasnt definitively said he did not call the president a moron. He is in real trouble, those i talk to dont think he will last longer. Do you agree with that and the conventional wisdom she is saying there, is there a way to predict if tillerson will go next . If there is one thing about the president and this white house Making Predictions is a dangerous sport. It certainly seems by everything thats happened this week that tillerson would be perhaps the first to go. He was a reluctant Secretary Of State to begin with. Hes on the record saying i really didnt want the job. My wife asked me to do it. So if he didnt want to be here and put in this uncomfortable situation where hes bouncing around the globe and the president is undermining all the diplomacy hes after, he is already in a very uncomfortable spot. Obviously, any time you call a Press Conference just to reaffirm your loyalty to your boss, you are in a very strange position. He did not deny that he had called the president a moron. So the president who above all
things seems to hate public humiliation. That will certainly put him in the crosshairs of the president. Now that being said, jeff sessions, you know, has also offered his resignation, was being attacked on twitter by the president. He is still out there. So the doj spot, still the Attorney General and still very much focused on his job. So who knows what will happen. Youiaed to the Tillerson Speculation the fact that he reportedly had said earlier this year, he didnt know if he would last a year in that position. I want to play something for you, Sarah Huckaby sanders, what she was say anything response to the president , Calm Before The Storm comments. Here it is. As weve said many times before, i know the president has, i have affirmed othen podium on quite a few occasions, wooer never going to say in advance what the president is going to do. As he said last night in addition to those comments, you have to wait and see. I think you can take the president protecting the American People always extremely
serious. Hes been very clear, thats his number one priority. If he feels that action is necessary, hell take it. You got that, a cryptic comment and add to it the wink that he gave, does this present a National Security issue for his administration . Is this another kind of strategy that were miss something. I think the American People essentially voted for an entertainer. They voted for someone who will be the first reality tv president. Thats essentially what we got. I think President Trump, while i think in some ways he is saying this in gest but also asserting his power. It doesnt represent i think a complete terror or crisis as you say for his Foreign Policy because we really dont know what it could be. Could it be he will fire someone . Could it be he will get into it with north korea . Could it be he wants to call Chuck Schumer up and go again with health care . There is no idea what he meant. I think because there are so many layers of this presidency
and so much going on, on any given day, we shouldnt rush to say he is talking military action, he could say, people will be criticizing me, now im trying to talk to cluck schumer about coming up with a health care plan. It infuriates his party. So that extent, i know you covered the hill. What do you think the reaction will be with chuck schulmer, heres the tweet saying he wants to fix obamacare. Its will infur outrepublicans, they have been saying this is an unworkable outline and its unfixable. So a shift like this is going to really anger people. Mitch mcconnell, paul ryan, have won a lot of elections. They won the majority largely on the promise of repeal and of course, sorry, donald trump on the campaign trail this was one of his Top Priorities as well. You have a base reaction. This is not going over well with conservative republicans who want this law dismantled. Good to see you both.
