Are different. Jim acosta joining us live in nairobi. We knew this was probably going to come up the president was likely going to address it but what was the reaction to the words he chose to use, standing right there next to the kenyan president . Reporter it was stunning. Despite what it seemed like a Family Reunion for president obama, he sparked a cultural controversy here in this country as he pressed kenyan leaders to make more progress on the issue of gay rights. The kenyan president was having none of it. Ladies and gentlemen, the president s reporter it was a dustup on his fathers home turf as president obama clashed with the kenyan leader over the issue of gay rights. The president condemned the widespread discrimination faced by same sex couples in kenya and across africa comparing it to the jim crow days back in the u. S. As an africanamerican in the United States i am painfully aware of the history of what happens when people are treated differently under the law. Reporter drawing applause from kenyans at a joint News Conference the topic was dubbed a nonissue. There are some things that we must admit we dont share. Our culture, our societies dont accept. Reporter it was a noticeable moment of tension during what was supposed to be a homecoming of sorts for mr. Obama. His return to his fathers native country to mark the first visit to kenya by a sitting u. S. President. Kenyans celebrated in the streets as the president met with relatives he hasnt seen in years. This is personal for me. Theres a reason why my name is barack husain obama. Reporter while this is a personal journey for president obama, he says it is much more than a chance to get in touch with his roots. He is calling for the world to look past the stereotypes in this continent and start investing in africas future. Africas poorest citizens the president argued just need a chance to prove themselves. Imagine what could happen if more and more of our Global Business leaders and Global Capital paid a visit. And actually had a conversation. Reporter but as he honored the victims of the 1998 bombing of the u. S. Embassy in kenya, the president said the u. S. And its african partners must first defeat new terror threats like al shabab. We have systematically reduced the territory that al shabab controls. That doesnt mean the problems solved. Reporter there was no disagreement on that front. This is an existential fight for us. Reporter still kenyans want the world to see their corner of the world is at peace and thriving. They are proud of the son of a kenyan father who became president. I think hes a big inspiration to kenyans and to me. Reporter they want to make sure he comes back. Something the president vowed to do when hes out of the white house bubble. Im more restricted ironically as president of the the United States than i am than i will be as a private citizen in terms of some of the handson direct help that i would like to give. Reporter tomorrow the president will deliver an address to the kenyan people. If africans were wondering when the president would speak more passionately about his heritage white house officials are hinting that is a speech this whole continent has been waiting for. Earlier this evening the president may have delivered one of the lines of this trip when he said at the state dinner here in nairobi, he was telling a joke he said his critics think he might be looking for his birth certificate here in kenya. But thats not the case. Poppy . Wow. Wonder what donald trump is going to say responding to that. Jim acosta, thank you. Well wait and see. Thank you. Appreciate it. Also now, turning to the tragedy in louisiana this week. New details are unfolding in the horrific theater shooting in louisiana. Funeral services will take place on monday to celebrate the life of mayci breaux the 21yearold College Student who was one of two People Killed in that rampage. Her boyfriend one of the nine who was wounded. We are also hearing more and learning more about the suspected shooter, john russel houser. Court documents now revealing he had a history of quote extreme erratic behavior. We know he flew a swastika outside of his tavern in georgia after he lost his liquor license. He was a frequent contributor to online web forums posting right wing sort of radical views on certain topics and also we know he used a hand gun in this attack. It was a. 40 caliber semiautomatic pistol purchased legally from a pawnshop. Cnns ryan noble joins us from lafayette. When we talk about the shooter, the focus has to be the people that he injured and the lives that he took. I know five people remain in the hospital. How are they doing . Reporter actually we have updated information about the victims that were in the hospital. Initially there were nine total. Six of them have been released. That leaves only three left in two different hospitals around lafayette. Two of those victims are in good condition. A third remains in serious condition. Keep in mind at one point that victim was in critical condition. So this is an improvement. Very good news considering how many people were impacted by this awful tragedy. We got a closer look today at the crime scene here behind me. This theater is still closed but Lafayette Police actually allowed us to get up close to the building and actually showed us the door the shooter, john houser attempted to leave in an attempt to get away. There is still glass there by the back door by the car he attempted to get out in. When he saw police he ran back into the theater, reloaded and thats where he killed himself. What they still dont understand after all the information that they have discovered about his background his Mental Health history, his runins with the law, is why he was here in lafayette and what motivated him to open fire on a group of people that it appears he had no connection to whatsoever. It will take some time for those questions to be answered. There are also heroes emerging in all of this. Two young women, teachers who police say saved countless lives. Reporter thats right. We talked to the corporal, Public Information officer from the Lafayette Police department today. Even now, more than 24 hours after the shooting he is still amazed by the bravery and heroism by that teacher who was already shot and in the midst of all this chaos, found a way to get to that fire alarm, sound the fire alarm. Thats why police were able to get here so quickly and theres no doubt lives were saved. Ryan nobles from lafayette, thank you very much. Also i want to bring this update. A huge fire breaking out in the middle of the day in las vegas. Take a look at some of this video. Its extraordinary. These flames shooting out of the pool area of the cosmopolitan hotel. A guest shooting this video from his room. We do know the fire is now out, according to investigators. The damage was contained to that area of cabanas and palm trees. Apparently it never reached the main hotel building. One person was transported to the hospital with possible smoke inhalation. So far, no other injuries reported. Coming up next donald trump talks about his lack of experience on the debate stage, saying he creates jobs he doesnt debate people. We will talk to someone who knows him very well.

And thats something even my brother. Sister can understand. Mom, brian threw a ball in the House Republican president ial hopeful donald trump is campaigning in iowa today, a place he has been spending a lot of time and one thing he was asked about today is how hes going to debate. Listen. Im by far number one so im going to be there, much to the chagrin of many people. But im not a debater. I produce jobs. Im not i never did that before. I never stood at a podium and debated a large number of people. And from what i heard, every one of thems going to come at me. I watch the shows like you do. And there was oh, hit trump and hit trump. Im saying what is this for two hours im going to be in the lions den, right . I think he can take on a few lions. Lets talk about it with cnn senior media correspondent, brian stelter. Also with us kate bonner who coauthored a book with trump. You get to know someone really well when you write a book with them. Trump the art of the comeback. Thank you so much for being here. Let me begin with you, kate. You know donald trump very well. How is he going to debate . I just found that clip so interesting. The thing is donald is really good at debating. Look at the apprentice. Thats what he did for a long time. He knows how to play to the cameras. Yes. I think probably one of the things about trump is that it seems like his mic is always hot. Most people make a mistake because their mic was hot and everybody is like oh, my gosh i cant believe he said that. It feels to me like donalds mic is always hot. Hes fearless about the content he takes on. From the perspective of a reporter reporters, anchors moderate these debates. What do you do with donald trump in a debate . How much do you jump in . We have heard the fox anchors who will be moderating this in a couple weeks say they will treat trump like every other candidate. That is a difficult proposition, because hes an extraordinary candidate. Hes not like anybody else thats in this race. He is maybe not maybe, what am i saying hes more unpredictable, less predictable than anybody else. He is also more available, more accessible. One of the reasons why he is getting so much Media Coverage is because he says yes to interview requests. He did a 20 minute plus press availability today. He is accessible in a way no other candidate is. Probably feeding more of the coverage here. He will be in a cnn debate in september as well. He will be potentially on several stages in the months to come. Do you think actually some of his opponents could take a page from him in being more available . If they complain about him getting so much attention i do wonder if there is something to be learned. Maybe theres a page from the playbook here that in some cases, giving a lot of interviews saying things that seem like they are off the cuff seeming unpredictable, are qualities the press appreciates and the public appreciates. The the Washington Post today said at the end of the rally its the first time a voter came in saying when can i see that guy again. Its more like an entertainer but politician. Kate you are the one. One of the things trump does really well is obviously the media is all over him right now. We all know that. A lot of comments are unflattering very judgmental and one of the things probably that donald taught me is that hes not the candidate, not the person to say you know what i made a mistake, i shouldnt have said that. He will go back on his view. He just plows forward. Hes always sort of on the offensive and never really on the run. I think this is interesting. I was reading that in 2011 he told bill oreilly about illegal immigration in the United States this. He said its hard to generalize but youre going to have to look at the individual people, see how they have done see how productive they have been see what their references are and then make a decision. You have some great productive people that came in. Looking at that in 2011 compared to his comments recently on Illegal Immigrants does it surprise you to hear this shift . It does. Because i want to be very clear that i worked with mr. Trump at the end of the 90s. The book came out in 1997. He was a very different guy back then. The subject matter that we were covering in that book was his comeback. What are the rules, what are the lessons, play golf be flamboyant work hard. Theres a way in which i feel hes on his second comeback. This is the new, new art of the comeback. You need to write another book with him. Maybe. Maybe. Brian, we have to talk about the Des Moines Register. A very negative oped, editorial piece in the Des Moines Register in the past week saying he should drop out of the campaign. His team bars the Des Moines Register from coming to this event in iowa today. One of their reporters eventually got in and said the trump team was polite to them but thats a big deal. This is another example of how this is an extraordinary campaign. This is in a very negative way, in the minds of journalists, disturbing to see a campaign say no you cannot come to our event. As it turned out the reporters were able to get in but werent able to have credentials. The idea is when you are a journalist you want to have a certain amount of access. The idea that trump would withhold access is disturbing to a lot of journalists but it does appeal to some of his supporters. This is the divide where some believe the press and some believe the press is inherently unfair. There are different divisions. A lot of people in the public dont always know that. Thats a problem on the media side. I used to work at the new york times. It used to frustrate me we didnt do a job of communicating how the editorial page was written far away from the newsroom. The employees were different, the journalists were different. That said this is probably something that appeals to trumps fans. Really interesting this week brian said this is a rich guy running a cheap campaign. Moneywise cheap. Smart business move. Hes not running ads or anything. Because i think he is the ad. He knows he says such extraordinary things. The base supports him so loyally that he knows hes going to be on camera all the time. He doesnt have to hone his messaging in the form of a fullpage ad or running advertising from the radio or television because hes actually reaching those people with just standardized media. He is his own ad. That says it perfectly. Kate will write another book with him. Im open to it. Thank you very much. You dont want to miss brians show reliable sources on cnn 11 00 a. M. Eastern tomorrow. The United States striking a deal with iran. Still, though, Congress Needs to get on board. This while four americans are still detained inside iran.

The recent nuclear deal with iran has stoked passions across the political spectrum and the issue is very complicated. Complicated even more by the fact that four americans are still detained in iran. Jason rozan is a Washington Post reporter. He is facing a secret trial. Amir hekmati has been held since 2011 accused of spying. Said abedini is a christian pastor held in iran since 2012. Robert levinson is a former fbi agent who vanished in iran in 2007. He is officially listed as missing, not detained. Lets talk about the americans and the Iranian Nuclear deal with democratic congressman from michigan dan kildi. I want to talk specifically about amir hekmati, who lives in your district. First i want your take on this deal. The 60day review period for you and your peers in congress has begun. We saw very spirited debate on the hill today in the Senate Chamber between secretary kerry and some senators. Do you support this deal . Im still evaluating it. Im generally positive toward this approach. I supported the negotiation. We will go through each step and take the 60 days that we have to evaluate it but im generally supportive mainly because i dont see what the other alternatives are. But i will continue to evaluate the deal and come to a final decision after doing a complete review. But the question that members of congress have to ask themselves is not only is this a good deal but is this a good deal as compared to what the path forward looks like if we reject it. Thats just a fact we have to deal with. I think its the reality that members should keep in mind. You have a unique position in that as i said amir hekmati, one of your constituents has been detained in iran since 2011. His family are still your constituents. You are in touch with them. That complicates things. Did you think why would the United States agree to this without those four americans coming home or did you view it as separate issues . Well i would have preferred that they that we insist on their release before initiating negotiation. I was very concerned that we not include the americans as a part of the negotiation for two reasons. One, we wouldnt want to tie their fate to the success or failure of this diplomatic effort. After all even though we have an agreement, its not clear that we are going to move forward with it not until congress acts. So we could have tied these americans to an agreement that may not come to pass and that would have been a terrible result. But i think even more importantly, we would never want to be in a position of entering into a transaction with iran where we would trade the freedom of american citizens for something that would presumably make the world a less safe place. After all in negotiation, we would have had to have given something in order to get their freedom in return and even amir hekmati, my own constituent who sits in an iranian prison has said he wouldnt want that to be the case. It sounds like you wouldnt have even entered into these talks until the four americans were released. Did you tell the president , secretary kerry, that . We have been speaking out for about two and a half years. Of course we got into these negotiations not long thereafter. That ship had sort of sailed. We made it clear that before we engage we really should have had their release. President obama has been asked multiple times about these americans in the wake of making this deal with iran and i want you to listen to what he said in response to a question from a reporter from cbs about how they could make this deal while those four americans are still detained in iran. Lets roll the president s answer. The notion that i am content as i celebrate with american citizens languishing in iranian jails jails. Major, thats nonsense. And you should know better. I have met with the familiar lives families of some of those folks. Nobody is content. I think the president has been pressing this from the very beginning. I have spoken to him about it many times. Im satisfied that he believes this is a very high priority and continues to press on it. But if you are a Family Member nothing is enough. So when i speak to amirs family obviously they would want the president and all of his administration to do everything they could every day. Do you believe that this agreement will help those four americans come home . I think it may. One thing i can say, this is maybe a better way for me to put it had this agreement not come together i would hate to think what the fate of those americans might be. In that context, it gives us a chance to get them home that we otherwise might not have had. Thank you very much. I wish all the best to amir and his family. Thank you very much. Nice to have you on the program. Well be right back. I thought you said you were gonna test drive this buick first. I am test driving it. For 24 hours. Wheres the salesperson . At the dealership. Nice buick i guess that testdrive last night went well. Actually, im still on it. You know, were testdriving this buick for 24 hours, right . Yeah. So what are you doing . Testwashing it. Okay, well let me know when youre done, im gonna take it testshopping. Introducing the buick 24hours of happiness testdrive. Its on your terms and a better way to take a test drive. If you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Isnt it time to let the real you shine through . Introducing otezla apremilast. Otezla is not an injection or a cream.

Earlier this year president obama signed a bill to try to recruit more psychiatrists to help and treat veterans with ptsd. A shortage of doctors treating them is just one of the things on a litany of problems plaguing veterans affairs. But one doctor says that more Prescription Medication is not what is needed to treat and really help these veterans. Carol costello reports. There you go sir. Good work good work reporter it looks like summer camp or one of those Team Building retreats Corporate America likes to host. These exercises are part of operation tohedo an experimental some might call radical rehabilitation programs to help veterans with ptsd. Its run by dr. Mary beaton at the nonprofit melwood center in maryland. For Army Specialist scott barber it saved his life. You came to that realization youre not crazy, just a normal guy, how did you feel . Relieved. Like a thousand pounds was lifted off my chest. Reporter that realization is key because the doctor insists ptsd is not a Mental Illness but normal. You dont go into the theater of operations and as a highly skilled professional with godlike powers and then suddenly one day have a screw loose. It just doesnt make sense. They know it doesnt make sense. Reporter according to the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, ptsd is a Mental Illness. How do you treat Mental Illness . Usually with drugs. Basically they gave me a goodie bag filled with reporter you said im depressed, im having trouble sleeping i dont know whats wrong and they give you a bag of drugs . Basically thats essentially what it was like. Reporter did you take the drugs . Yeah i took them. Reporter how many different kinds of drugs did they give you . I believe at that time i was on four different kinds. Reporter eventually something terrible happened to you. Eventually it did, yeah. In 2013 christmas eve, i was taking the drugs they had prescribed. My family was in we had kind of like a christmas tradition that we sit around and play pictionary. I get up and go to draw whatever it was and i remember as i started to draw i felt something in my ear, my ear started bleeding. I was like what . Then all of a sudden i just started to freak out and i hit the ground. Thats the last thing i remember. I woke up in the back of an ambulance and i didnt wake up i should rephrase that. But i was like drifting in and out like when youre drifting in and out of consciousness. This is what it felt like to me. The paddles were on. Reporter they say you actually died . I flatlined. I seized and flatlined. They were pumping me. Thats all i can remember come on buddy, come on back. And yeah. It was a really horrible experience. It was. And when we got to the hospital i remember i was in there for four days they ran every sort of test on me and the doctor at the time he says why are you taking who is prescribing this medication. He says what is this . He said stop everything. He says this is a recipe for death. Reporter its that kind of story that infuriates the doctor. What percentage of those patients, in your opinion, dont need drugs . 100 . Reporter all of them . Theres no reason to medicate someone whose issue is they are traumatized by their war experiences. Reporter really . Theres no reason to do that. None. Reporter even if they are suffering from hallucinations or Something Like that . Nope. Reporter why . Why do you say that . First of all, the medications are delivered to the warrior as if they treat something. They dont treat anything. All psychiatric medications either stimulate or sedate. Reporter experts, including those at the v. A. And department of defense, disagree. I have learned in ptsd there are people who cant do top therapy until you give them a medicine that gives them a longer fuse. There are people that cant sit with these questions, that cant sit with you, unless you can help them control their anxiety and depression. I honestly think we would be doing a disservice if we said you must never take a medicine for this. Reporter talk is what the warriors say they need. All of them are veterans who have suffered from ptsd. The only medicine is helping vets understand context. The person who is the most obsessive compulsive and the most vigilant and most on the ball and hyperaware is the person who comes back alive and intact. Reporter behaviors in the military that are normal in that setting are not so normal for lack of a better term when people come back home. Yeah. Its a context problem. We just moved the warrior. If we put them back into that original setting they would be fine. Reporter for scott barber the operation saved his life. Wasnt just me. Im not crazy. Great reporting by carol costello. When were back i will speak with a former marine who combatted this himself and started a foundation to try to help other people because there is an alarming rate of veteran suicides.

Mom, brian threw a ball in the house before the break, we heard about a new approach to the treating veterans with ptsd. Is an approach totally without medication. Adam banatoy is with me now, former Staff Sergeant and squad leader with the u. S. Marines. He is the founder of a nonprofit that helps so many veterans combat this disease. He joins me now. Thank you for being here. Absolutely. Thanks for having me. We will talk more about the good work your foundation is doing in a moment. I wonder if you agree with the doctor in carols piece. If ptsd can be wholly treated without medication. Absolutely not. I think any Undergrad Health science major could find dozens of studies that support the use of psychoactive medication in therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder. That said it shouldnt be a front line treatment. The best therapy for ptsd is psycho therapy, counseling talking to someone. But when we are talking about the v. A. We are already seeing a huge shortage of providers, especially Mental Health providers. So when you have the choice of doing a 15 minute med rec appointment when you can prescribe and follow up in 30 to 60 days or a 30 to 60 minute appointment you are repeating weekly for months and years at a time its a logistical issue. Thats not a good excuse. Thats not the way veterans should be treated to ever have to go through a 15 minute appointment. You heard the guy in the piece say he was handed a bag of pills. Do you worry about overmedication overprescription . I do and i think its part of a lafkck of continuity of care. One doctor is not aware of what the other is prescribing so you are getting cocktails that are becoming lethal. We have seen overdoses resulting in deaths within the department of veterans affairs. 22 veterans in this country per day take their own lives. Does america fully understand . Does the american civilians, do they fully understand ptsd . I dont think so. I think theres a huge stigma and thats with all Mental Health illness in the civilian sector and with veterans. Its like the gentleman in this piece said im not crazy. Mental illness, Mental Health is not about crazy or not crazy. Its about bad things happen to good people and how that affects your life. One of the things the tenets i believe in came from retired marine general jim mattis who said its about posttraumatic growth. You have done something so extraordinary that impacted your life in such a way that so few people have done that of course its going to change you. But change isnt bad. Change is just different and perhaps for the better. The hard thing i can imagine as someone who has never served this country in that way is coming back and being surrounded by people who have no idea what you went through. They cannot live it with you and they just you cant understand. So thats part of the fight that you and your team are doing with the one fight foundation. Right. What happened was people say i cant even imagine what it was like and its like no, you really cant. Exactly. So what we did was we founded one fight foundation i founded it with my team to combat veteran suicide by implementing local peertopeer support networks for veterans to seek camaraderie and mentorship when in crisis. So a lostt of veterans dont trust doctors or the v. A. But they trust each other. All we want to do is facilitate that communication for veterans to reach out in time of crisis to those that know them best and understand their troubles the most. Thats other veterans. Tell people where they can go for more help. We will put it on the screen as well. You can find us online onefightfoundation. Org. We are on facebook or follow us on twitter with 1 team 1 fight. Thank you for your service. Thank you for your continued service to this country. Thank you for having me. We appreciate it very much. We are going to take a quick break. Well be right back on the other side with what i hope you find to be an inspiring story about a company that is trying to make things a little bit better on the south side of chicago. I really believe most people want whats best for their pet. Now, do they have the resources, no. I dont want to lose him. I got so attached. So many times, people just feel they have to surrender their animal. When in reality, if they understood all the resources, they are happy to keep their animal. I will make some phone calls to see if theres anybody that would be willing to foster. I started an organization which offers resources to low income families so they can keep their pets. The areas we work tend to have the higher crime rates, densely populated and theres lots of animals. There is a lot of people that are either not employed underemployed, but that does not mean that people dont love their animals. Are you interested in a free neuter for him .

Its a lot easier and a lot cheaper to go build manufacturing facilities in the sticks. It just is . It just is. I think ultimately if you look at the economic returns a broader context and you look at the social and economic returns i believe it makes sense to build in the cities we already have. Adam co founded method. He set his sights on one of the toughest parts of the windy city. Can you add how many cents it costs extra to bottle method here rather than in the sticks .
