This is cnn tonight, im don lemon. Its 11 00 p. M. On the east coast and were live with breaking news tonight. Former chief of staff Reince Priebus answering questions from russia investigators. Well have more on that in just a moment. Plus President Trump working to dismantle the legacy of his predecessor, barack obama, putting the Iran Nuclear Deal on the chopping block. Our participation can be canceled by me as president at any time. Joining me now is fareed zakaria. Host the cnns farefareed zaka gps. Its friday, and here we are with more russia news. Reince priebus spent the day talking russia with the special counsel. His attorney saying he is happy to do it. But do you think muellers investigation casts a cloud over this administration indefinitely . Well, look, its a serious ongoing investigation, and i think the important thing we have to remember is what we all hope to get out of it is an understanding of what russia did, how it did it and how to stop it from happening again. Because this is sometimes portrayed as entirely about the last election, about what happened, you know, were all interested in that. But the really interesting thing that we got to make sure is that russia cant do it again, in fact, that no country can do it again. We do need to figure out what happened, how did it happen, how did they know what to do . How did they know where to do what they were doing . One piece of what muellers investigation i hope looks at is we understand that the russians are good at cyber, but how did they understand what precincts in ohio to go into, what demographics to send those Facebook Messages to, what part of the american vote to suppress. So theres a whole bunch of these questions about the nature of the targeting that are important as well. And the goal has to be to make sure it doesnt happen again. We know that Robert Mueller has a long list of current and former insiders that hes going to talk to as well including sean spicer, holpix, i think he may have already spoken. What about the statement that was written on air force one about donald trump jr. s meeting with the kremlinlinked lawyer during the campaign . I think if you look at some of the stuff on the face of it, its pretty clear that it is an attempt to i dont want to use a loaded phrase like obstruct justice, but it was an attempt to impede an investigation that was moving in a direction that President Trump didnt want it to move. Now, whether that falls under the technical definition of obstruction of justice or not, i dont know, but clearly President Trump has admitted it himself. The reason he got rid of comey wasnt he didnt like the way he was pursuing the russia investigation. So my guess is mueller is going to try to flesh that out and understand how purposeful it was, you know, how much planning went into it. How determined the president was to impede that investigation. That piece of it, frankly, when i look at whats on the public record, it seems pretty clear, and, as i say, the exhibit a is, of course, Donald Trumps interview with lester holt in which he said, yeah, thats why i got rid of james comey. Look, can we talk about iran . The president did speak about something which i think does give pause to a lot of americans. Listen to this. We should not take lightly its sinister vision for the future. The regimes two favorite chants are death to america and death to israel. Was he right to decertify the deal with iran . No. He is right that iran has a sinister ideology. Hes right that it is a destabilizing country in the region. So was the soviet union, so was maos china, yet we found way to do arms control deals with them because what youre trying to do is stabilize one dangerous, very dangerous element of a relationship between adversaries. Iran is not a friend of the United States. Thats why we dont want a Nuclear Armed iran. It is precisely because iran is dangerous, because it has these nefarious intentions that you want to make sure it doesnt have nuclear weapons, and the deal did that by President Trumps own admission. Iran is abiding by the letter of the deal. By his secretary of state, secretary of defense and chairman of the joint chiefs admission, iran is adhering to its obligations. There are other problems, but you know, just imagine if Vladimir Putin had said, im going to abrogate all the arms control treaties i have between the United States and russia because the United States invaded iraq and i thought that was destabilizing. You know, the basis of International Order is that when you make a deal on a specific issue, if that issue if both parties are adhering to their side of the bargain, the deal holds. You cant suddenly say because of something completely unrelated to the deal that was never part of the deal that im upset about im going to abrogate this deal. It would be the end of International Order if every country were to do what the United States just did. Can you drill down on that more . What are the ramifications of our relationships with other countries with this move, fareed . Lets start about thinking about north korea. We are clearly trying very hard to get china and south korea and japan and north korea to understand that weve got to come up with some kind of arrangement where the North Koreans make some concession on their nuclear program. Perhaps we give them some assurances, that would be an amazing grand bargain. President trump has talked about it himself. What is the chance were going to get a deal like that now . Zero. Because what weve just said to the North Koreans is, hey, you could make a deal with the United States and you could have it sealed, signed, delivered, two years from now the United States might just upend the whole deal because we didnt like it or didnt like Something Else you were doing or we just had a change in the administration and the president decided he wanted to unravel everything that the prior president had done. It sends a terrible signal to north korea. Think of what it does to every country with which we have an agreement of some kind because every country can only adhere to their part of the agreement. Theyre not under obligations to make nice to the United States on everything under the sun. And so i think in a sense, really, we have not thought through the International Ramifications of this. If every country were to do what the United States just did, there would be no International Order. Everyone would be abrogating every agreement they dont like for totally unrelated seasons. It sets a really pad bad precedent. I want to move on to talk about senator bob corker, that interview with the washington post. He talked about Rex Tillerson and said you cannot publicly castrate your own secretary of state without giving yourself that binary choice. The tweets you raise tension in the region and its irresponsible but the first part, the castration of tillerson that im most exercised about. So corker is the person working closely with the secretary of state on iran and what happens with them next . How does this play out . I have to say, i think we have in this administration we have seen the use of more colorful language than anywhere else, like moron, castrate, dotard, i want to point out the rich vocabulary here is kind of fun for all of us observers. Look, its terrible for tillerson, but it also signals something i think weve known that there really does not seem to be any desire or impetus to a diplomacy in this administration. You cant have a secretary of state who is going around trying to negotiate when you undercut him in exactly the way bob corker was saying. So you have to ask what is tillerson doing, what is the point of having all these meetings, trying to reach out to the South Koreans to the japanese, signal to the North Koreans that maybe we want to have some kind of diplomatic engagement. None of it will go anywhere because trump undercuts you at every stage. I think theres again one of the questions weve always had is why are people who are clearly men of honor, women of honor, competent, have real lives, have had real regiments, why theyre putting up with this . Because whats clear with tillerson is hes now, without any question to my mind, the most ineffective secretary of state in a generation. Wow. Does he really want to go down with that as his you know, that written on his tombstone . I think it might be better to resign as a matter of principle, register that you think diplomacy is important. Its unclear to me why he continues to hes going to these foreign capitals. Nobodys paying any attention to him because they know the president doesnt pay any attention to him. Speaking of being diplomatic, there are many who think the president hasnt been so diplomatic when it comes to puerto rico and fema after saying that fema couldnt stay in puerto rico forever. President trump said this, this morning. He said, well always be with the wonderful people of puerto rico. Does it seem like he fails to see these people as americans . You cannot you cant help but come to that conclusion, don. It took five days for any senior official to get to puerto rico. Immediately the minute President Trump started dealing with it he starts pointing out that they have high debt obligations and things like that, which is true, but its like when a house is on fire, you dont start pointing out that theres a mortgage on the house and that thats unaffordable. You save people, you save lives, you show empathy for the people being devastated by the Natural Disaster theyre in. Then again the double standard where there are going to be federal funds, forces, bureaucrats in various senses troops in houston, in florida for many, many months as there were after katrina, why is he signaling to puerto rico that, you know, were not going to be able to be here forever. Weve gotta get out. Why that double standard . And its sad to say, but obviously there is this fundamental difference. Puerto ricans are nonvoting americans and in some sense that seems to make a difference. Maybe theres more to it than just that, but the difference in if you think about the way the president handles texas and florida on the one hand and puerto rico on the other, its pretty terrible. Fareed zakaria, always appreciate it. Thank you. A pleasure. Dont miss fareeds interview with hillary clinton. Sunday at 10 00 p. M. And 1 00 a. M. Eastern. When we come back, 91 of puerto rico is still without power. Conditions so bad 36,000 people have fled to florida where their votes change everything in the state that was crucial to President Trumps victory. I wanti did my ancestrydna and where i came from. And i couldnt wait to get my pie chart. The most shocking result was that im 26 native american. I had no idea. Just to know this is what im made of, this is where my ancestors came from. And i absolutely want to know more about my native american heritage. Its opened up a whole new world for me. Discover the story only your dna can tell. Order your kit now at ancestrydna. Com. President trump tweeting about puerto rico this morning promising to always be with the people there. Just a few hours later telling reporters this. Most important on puerto rico is their electric plants are essentially gone. Now, they were gone before the hurricane. They were in bankruptcy, they owed 9 million. I think it was 9 million. But the plants, as you know, the electric was a disaster. After the storm even more so. We have to help them get the plants rebuilt. Joining me now is cnns layla santiago in san juan for us tonight. Tell us what the situation is like in puerto rico tonight. The majority of the island, don, without power. A third without water. You know, so many are still waiting for that power to cut back on. Only 9 has been restored. You flip that around, that means 91 without power. Even where we are right now at the Convention Center which is the command post for the operation in recovery efforts, they do have power, but it is not reliable. Theyre going back and forth between generators and power as the rest of the island waits sort of in the darkness at night. In the meantime, as we head out outside of san juan and visit people in the western parts of the island, more remote areas, there are elderly that havent been able to get the medications they need. Mothers concerned because they dont know how they will feed their babies beyond the next few days. So fema aid is moving, but still, if you talk to the people outside of san juan, its still not enough, don. Not fast enough, yeah. Why is the power situation getting worse . How is that happening . So overnight, because, yes, the percentage of power restored did go down. Overnight there was some sort of a failure in the central system. That is how the government explained it. When you ask them longterm what is that longterm goal, they will tell you that by the end of the month, they want 25 of power to be restored. So that still leaves a good chunk in the dark on a longterm basis. So the House Speaker paul ryan toured the island today. What message did he bring to the people of puerto rico . Very interesting words that he chose today, don. He said this is a humanitarian disaster. He went on to highlight the 36 billion aid package that the house passed last night. Then he also said he made a commitment. This is not the first aid package and it will not be the last. So sort of a change in tone from President Trumps visit. Many people saying that the House Speaker was engaged in appreciating his message today. Leyla santiago in san juan for us this evening, thank you very much. You bet. Now, i want to bring in two men who have the ear of americans, sirius xm host joe madison, and in this corner, syndicated radio talk show host joe fredericks. John, fredericks. Sorry. John fredericks. You heard that the situation in puerto rico actually getting worse. The president sending mixed signals. Does he understand how dire this situation is . Yeah, don, i think so. The president has made an a tremendous effort with fema. Weve got over 1,200 personnel on the ground. Generators coming in. The United States people have donated millions of dollars in many different ways. Weve got the aid coming in. But i think what the president pointed out today is that some of the problems in puerto rico go beyond the hurricane, hurricane maria. They had a grid system that was not upgraded for a very long time. This was a disaster waiting to happen. Its going to take some time. I think the president also believes in accountability. The government of puerto rico has to be accountable for some of the issues that have gone on there that they have not addressed financially, theyve not made the investment. As far as the mayor of san juan coming out in her fidel castro outfit the other day blaming trump for everything under the sun, look, shes obviously running for governor. She cant get out of the way of any camera in order to get pr for herself. Heres the question with the mayor of san juan. Shes not provided a single solution. If she got on cnn and said, look weve got to let joe get in. These are the five things that we have to do, five tangible suggestions that will aid the people of puerto rico, one, two, three, four, five, give me these, that would be Something Else. All she does is complain in order to i dont know what her outfit has to do i dont know how this became a rant against the mayor. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you, don. How petty can you be when you live on an island as you just heard someone say this is a humanitarian disaster and youre talking about how someone is dressed when you have people on that island who right now are drinking tainted water, disease is on the rise and the reality is that i think and ive said this on the air and most of my listeners have agreed, that if the United States treated this like and im going to say it, treat it like its a war. You know how we move troops and material into a country when there is war . We just saw the vietnam ken burns piece and how helicopters and troops and material were moved into places where there was nothing. This is what you do in puerto rico. But you do not, you do not pour salt on open wounds, and thats exactly what john just did. John, theres no electricity. Shes wearing a hat. Maybe she cant do her hair. Maybe thats the only clean clothing she has is that outfit. Do you want to take that back about her outfit . Yes, i will take that back. I will grant you that, but i will say this. She has come on tv over and over and over criticizing President Trump and the Trump Administration for what she says is an inadequate response to the humanitarian disaster thats going on in puerto rico. She has yet to give a single concrete suggestion. Shes not the only one there. People there on the ground who are saying the same thing. The people who live there and also people who have gone there to help. A human disaster. Who are saying the same thing about the response that from what the president is saying is complete opposite of what is actually happening on the ground. Why are we worrying about wait a minute. Why are we worrying about hurting the feelings of the president of the United States when were talking about children who dont have food, seniors who dont have medicine. Think about what were doing up here, man. Were looking at an island where 91 of the people dont have electricity. Right now were in a bright studio. Theyre in the dark. And you think im going to sit here and worry about Donald Trumps feelings . Give me a break. Who is talking about his feelings . You just did. Oh, because shes criticizing donald trump. Hes a big boy. He can handle himself. And the administration who cares . Who cares give me some solution because the john, in an interview with me just give some suggestion. Treat it like you treat war. When were at war, we move we move earth and heaven. She offered suggestions. She said they needed more water, they needed more supplies, they needed to get the electricity back up. Shes offered some suggestions. She doesnt understand why they cant get the supplies and the suggestions that we want to puerto rico, which is not that far from the United States. I mean, weve got a big arsenal here of not only big military but also services, Emergency Services to help out. Americans. Treat it like a war. The administration has flown in truck drivers, theyve flown in water. Its a very difficult situation there. But the reason were having this discussion is because trump and the Trump Administrations response is being blamed for some kind of inadequacy in how theyre handling puerto rico. So what the president is saying yeah, thats the point. Theyre not doing a great job in handling puerto rico and theyre saying that they are. Theyre not there. They dont live there. The people who are on the ground are saying that theyre not doing a great job. So essentially theyre not telling the truth. And maybe you dont want to believe that, but i believe the army of correspondents who are there, the army of military people who are there, the army of emergency workers who are there, the tens of thousands of Puerto Ricans who live there and who have fled who are saying that the relief effort has not been adequate at least on the part of the americans. Why wouldnt you believe those people . Why wouldnt you believe tens of thousands of people instead of one person whose reputation is on the line, of course hes going to defend himself. Its the entire United States response apparatus that is being blamed. We have 12,000 fema people there. Maybe we need 20,000, maybe we need 40,000. Maybe we do need 20,000. But its not like look, don, we wouldnt be having this discussion if the argument was what do we need to do in order to make this work, right . What the argument is the whole premise of tonights piece is donald trump has failed puerto rico thats what the mayor and the people there, john, are saying. Thats what theyre saying because theyre politicizing it. Gentlemen if politicizing it is saying that youre not doing a good job go on. Please, let me get a word in just edgewise for a moment here. Look, one of the problems you have in the sense were talking about words, you know, the president of the United States made a serious mistake when he said we cant be there forever. First of all, no one expects fema to be there forever. What you do in a situation like this is that you give people hope, and the hope is well be there for as long as its necessary. Thats what people in a disaster wants to hear. They dont want to hear as if somehow they are a burden. And thats what is coming across. The people of puerto rico are not a burden. And ill again if this were a hot war and im sorry to keep going by this we would move heaven and earth. So lets go to war against Mother Nature and what she did and then worry about the infrastructure after we feed people and save people. But quit bringing up what it was like before the hurricane. Thats the most ridiculous argument that we can present. All right. Stay with me, both of you. When we come back, the president taking aim at nfl players for what he calls disrespecting the National Anthem, but if hes so adamant about respect for the military why hasnt he spoken out about the four u. S. Soldiers who lost their lives in niger . President trump has yet to say anything publicly about the deaths last week of four american soldiers who were ambushed by isis fighters in the african nation of niger. Back with me now joe madison and john fredericks. John, october 4th, four american troops the were ambushed and killed by isis affiliated terrorists in africa. Staff Sergeant Dustin wright, jeremiah johnson, bryan black and sergeant la david johnson. President trump has spoken hasnt spoken or tweeted one word about their death. Why is trump silent about the sacrifice of these brave men . Well, he shouldnt be, don. He should be tweeting about them. And he should be offering the nation some attention to these people. Don, theres a bigger problem here, and the real problem is, we have four americans coming home in body bags. Weve got a war in afghanistan that weve been in for now 17 years. The president just reauthorized another 5,000 troops. We have no aumf, no military force whatsoever. Snow no authorization of military force whatsoever. This thing, people and the president himself have become simply callous to the fact that were in these perpetual wars that go on forever and our men and women come home in body bags, without arms and without legs and we blow it off. The president , every time someone comes home, the president should be front and center, front and center, and understanding that were in these conflicts all over the globe for no reason with no authority. More to the point, joe, and i know you want to weigh in, since october 4th when they died the president has tweeted 87 times, 22 times about the media or fake news, 10 times about tax reform, 6 times each about las vegas and puerto rico, 4 times about bob corker, but not a single tweet about these slain soldiers. And heres the Common Thread. Every last one, especially those multiple tweets, its always when he has been attacked. This man is i, i, i, just like puerto rico, what ive done, not what weve done, or what the country has done, but what ive done. I agree with john. He should do it. I think theres also a problem there, john, with his staff because its up to the staff to bring this to his attention. Its up to the people, the department of defense, the secretary of whatever state. I mean, its not only he hasnt said anything, no one in his administration has said anything. Now i hate to say on this airway that maybe its because its africa, but you know what . My audience thinks that has a lot to do with it. But the Common Thread is, whenever someone talks about this man, whenever he gets his feelings hurt, hell be up tonight tweeting us. At the value voters summit today President Trump talked about patriotism and the flag. Lets listen. We treasure our freedom. We are proud of our history. We support the rule of law and the incredible men and women of Law Enforcement. We celebrate our heroes, and we salute every american who wears the uniform. We respect our Great American flag. It is important to remember that on october 8th, just days after the deaths of these green berets with trumps blessing that the Vice President staged a walkout from the Indianapolis Colts game over players kneeling during the National Anthem. If he feels so strongly about the nfl players what theyre doing during the National Anthem, why wouldnt he be talking about the green berets killed in action . Because thats certainly saluting the military. Let me go first with this and that is because and ill say this hashtag hes a cafeteria patriot. You know, what he does, he picks and chooses that which he thinks symbolizes patriotism. Hes a cafeteria patriot. And the reality is those players who take a knee, High School Students who take a knee, theyre just as patriotic as the founders of this country who stood up and protested against an entire king and a country. So patriotism comes in all forms, and maybe if he was so patriotic, he would have served when he had an opportunity to defend this flag. John . Joes got 50 of it right. I want to get back to your last segment. But i want you to respond to this point, though. Give me ten seconds. Just give me ten seconds. Joe, when you said his staff isnt doing anything to make him honor these men and women, thats because his staff is completely dominated by neocons that perpetuate these wars. So bringing attention to people dying brings attention to the wars. Well, its his staff. Hes the one that selected them. Right. Go on. We dont and he doesnt have a problem firing them. The National Anthem and the green berets, so why is he obsessed with that and to joes point what real patriotism is. Its not wrapping yourself in the flag. As a matter of fact, youre not supposed to wrap yourself in the flag. If you get to the football players, my family and i were going to redskins game sunday. I want to enjoy the game with my family. My 13yearold is going. Theyre not playing during the football game, theyre playing football. Theyre not kneeling during the football game. My family and everybody else in that stadium in washington is going to stand up for the National Anthem. No, they wont. Because if im there, im not going to stand. The fans are going to stand up. No, they wont. Everybody is not going to hey, look, look, im from washington. I guarantee you everybody is not going to stand. So out of touch with this. There are going to be people at the concession stand, people in the bathroom. People drinking a beer. People drinking a beer, people walking to the stand. People walking from their cars. Come on, john. Thank you, everyone. They want to honor the flag we shouldnt have to do it at the game anyway. Its not a military event. [ all speak at once ] when we come back, police changing the timeline again in the las vegas investigation. Were going to bring you the latest next. Entral, did it in under an hour, and you can too. Build a better website in under an hour. With gocentral from godaddy. New developments in the las vegas shooting. Police again revising the timeline of the october 1st massacre that killed 58 people and wounded hundreds more. Lets bring in cnn Senior National correspondent kyung lah. Good evening to you. Why are officials once again changing the timeline of when the shots were first actually fired . Well, the investigators are saying what the sheriff is saying hes thinking of it more as correcting the timeline. The last time we spoke to the sheriff, the last News Conference he had before today, he said that the Security Guard at mandalay bay had been shot at 9 59 p. M. And then there was a sixminute gap, then the mass shooting happened. Well, 9 59, according to the sheriff today, that still stands, but heres what has changed. The circumstances. At 9 59 the sheriff says a Security Guard tried to enter a stairwell door on the 32nd floor that doorway was barricaded. He radioed down and noted that time, 9 59. He had to go to a higher floor then made his way down towards gunmans suite. That was about 10 05, about six minutes later, thats when he was shot. Thats the latest information, the sheriff says. Then the mass shooting happened. Just yesterday mandalay bay, mgm had disputed that sixminute gap saying it was more of a 40second gap. The sheriff today agreeing with mgm saying that, as this investigation unfolds, things will change. Heres what the sheriff said. There is no conspiracy between the fbi, between lvmpd and the mgm. Nobody is hiding anything. The dynamics and the size of this investigation requires to us go through voluminous amounts of information in order to draw an accurate picture. Some of that material that theyre going through, don, its hours of video, surveillance video, iphone video, cell phone video, talking to a number of witnesses. 1,800 interviews, some 2,000 leads. All of this adds up to an evolving timeline. While investigators are clearing up this timeline or revising it, as you say, are they any closer to a possible motive . Yeah, thats whats frustrating through all of this. Every single day that we speak to investigators out here, they keep saying they dont have a motive. This is unlike anything that they have ever seen. Any time they do some sort of a crime, theres some type of electronic footprint, something thats left behind. Here they dont really have anything yet. The sheriff says an autopsy has been conducted on the gunman. On visual inspection, they looked at his brain, theres nothing there that suggests some sort of abnormality just at least to the eye. Don, they are going to take microscopic samples of that brain to have that investigated a bit further because right now they just dont have anything obvious as of yet. Kyung lah, thank you so much.

Las vegas police again revising the timeline of the deadliest mass shooting in modern American History. Now saying the gunman shot a hotel Security Guard around the time he began firing on the crowd, not six minutes earlier. The sheriff defending the work of his department. The word incompetent has been brought forward, and i am absolutely offended with that characterization. This is a very dynamic event, very big event. Thousands of people involved. Humans involved in documentation. Here to discuss, chris sweker, former fbi assistant director for the investigation division. And attorney mark omeara. Gentlemen, good evening to you. Mark, you first. Youve been following this story since the start. What was your reaction when you heard the sheriffs voice . He is clearly very emotional. Well, absolutely, for a number of reasons. I doubt hes slept very much in the past week. And then, of course, we know that his department has sort of been under this attack because people always question what Law Enforcement is doing and whether or not theyre doing it quick enough. Let me tell you, lvmpd has done a phenomenal job. Those people have put themselves in the line of danger, was basically a war zone. But i do challenge them for this. Because there is one issue that i think needs to be looked at. When we first thought that six minutes was there, that was devastating, but the issue still remains of this. We know that the murderer was a high roller, whats called a whale in the parlance of casinos. The real question that i have that i challenge mandalay bay to be transparent with and the cops to focus on, is what type of deference he was given. Why was he given a key to a freight elevator. Why was he given the type of deference that may have allowed him to set up the arsenal that he set up . That is going to be the question. We may never know why he did this, but the how is very intriguing, and that how is going to be determined by what hes done the few days before when he was in the middle of what is basically a videotaped fortress that he was able to wander through with the type of arsenal he was able to. Chris, its now 12 days since the shooting. Wow, 12 days. It seems like its just a couple days ago since that shooting. Were finally getting a complete timeline of what happened during those crucial moments before that gunman opened fire. What does this tell you about how this investigation is being handled so far . You know, well, first i do not want to armchair quarterback, and i dont want to be perceived as being critical of the sheriff or the department. Ill just say at the outset, that when youre an onscene commander youre trained to do a couple of things. One thing is to be objective, the other is to delegate effectively, and the third is get some rest. And i think the sheriff is a bit overwhelmed and overwrought right now, and he needs to step back and allow a spokesperson to take over at this point. As far as the details, the timeline, im not too troubled by the detail about the six minutes. I think hes explained that away. The big one was when the original timeline was a Security Guard showed up after the shooting started. We now know that wasnt the case. So that now basically lays out a scenario where he didnt stop shooting because of an intervention by Law Enforcement. He stopped shooting for some other reason. Perhaps he killed himself. And i think there are times when you have to step back and stop letting these Little Details come out in drips and drabs and wait for the broader context. And i think from the very beginning i think theyve been divvying out Little Details when they should have been waiting for a broader picture to emerge.
