Youre in the situation room. Were following major new developments in two Fatal Police Shooting of unarmed africanamericans.

The reserve deputy who pulled the trigger thought he was yazzing a stun gun, not a hand gun and now charged with seconddegree manslaughter. A new recorders captures the moments after Michael Slager fatally shot walter scott in South Carolina. Slager charged with murder talking seemingly like lightly how his adrenaline is pumping and now ak cuesizationing of charging nor officer on the scene. Lets begin with this new manslaughter charge in tulsa, oklahoma. Cnns ed lavandera is on the scene. Ed . Reporter well wolf those charges, criminal charge filed a short while ago here in the city of tulsa, and the attorney for robert bates the 73yearold reserve deputy accused in this shooting says he is remorseful for what has happened. Just moments before he was shot oh im sorry. Im sorry. Oh [ bleep ] oh [ bleep ]. He shot me reporter eric harris captured on Surveillance Video appearing to sell a. 9 millimeter pistol and ammunition to an undercover sheriff deputy. Moments later harris spots a swarm of underare cover agents and runs. Stot right there. Reporter a deputy tackles harris when 73yearold reserve Deputy Robert bates shouts hell use this taser. Now. Reporter the tulsa county sheriffs officer says bates instead grabbed his gun and pulled 9pull ed the trigger. Im sorry. Oh [ bleep ] he shot me. He shot me stop fighting. [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. Oh he shot me. He shot me. Do you hear me . [ bleep ] ran oh god. Oh he shot me. I didnt [ bleep ]. He shot me, man. Oh, my god. Reporter even as he lays dying the officers taunt him. Im losing my breath. Reporter a retired Police Officer named jim clark has been brought in to review the fatal incident. You can train someone as much as you can. And you train in every area that you can, but in times of crisis sometimes training is not going to take you through the scenario. Reporter with the video released questions turned to why bates, an unpaid certified reserve deputy was on the scene in such a sensitive and high risk sting operation. Mr. Bates lacked really any kind of training that mr. Bates had been a Tulsa Police Department officer from 1964 to 1965 one year and never paced probationary period. Reporter saying bates was afforded opportunities within the Task Force Due to his significant and longstanding support of the Sheriffs Department. Do anything he wanted to. You heard the Sheriffs Department say, like any other officer could do but he could do it with no training. And he could do it just with total access. I mean, cart blanche freedom to do wa when he wants to do. Incredible dangerous to a community. Reporter a Sheriff Department spokesman tells cnn it stands by the deputys actions but the d. A. Office makes clear they see it differently charges robert bates with seconddegree manselaughtermanslaughter. And, wolf, the Sheriffs Department we spoke with still supports deputy bates saying he had gone through extensive training reached the highest level of Deputy Program and inclined to be in that situation and it wasnt anything out of the ordinary and had done that worked in that environment many times before. Wolf . Ed lavandera, shocking story indeed. More on that coming up. Turn now to the Fatal Police Shooting in South Carolina. A gripping new audio recording of the moments after the Police Observation Michael Slager shot walter scott. New controversy about the actions of a second Police Officer who arrived on the scene. Piecing all this together what are you learning . Reporter the controversy in North Charleston is growing and the trouble spreading to at least one other Police Officer. The second officer who arrived on the scene is now under intense pressure and theres new audiotape of the officer who fired the fatal shots, Michael Slager and what you hear him doing has outraged people inside and outside the Law Enforcement community. In the harrowing moments after walter scott is gunned down police are desperately trying to process the scene. Tonight, for the first time we hear the voice of the man who fired the fatal shots. Officer Michael Slager in new dashcam audio, is apparently heard speaking to a senior officer about whats next. The senior officer advises him to go home wind down. Go hem, probably a good idea to kind of shut down your thoughts jot down what happened adrenaline quits pumping. Its pumping. Oh yeah oh yeah. Reporter slagers apparent laughter is an outrage to one Law Enforcement veteran. Disturbs me greatly. The worst possible thing can you do take another persons life. I as a professional Law Enforcement person very disturbed over that. Reporter another says take into account the stress of the moment. Understands hes done something wrong and has a problem. His nerves releasing somehow and i wouldnt read much into the laughter. Reporter the first officer ton the scene is under intense pressure. The officer is seen in the amateur video tending to scotts wounds. Under scrutiny is this moment when slager returning to where scotts body lies appears to be seen throwing an object next to the body. It may or may not be a taser. Habersham appears to be a couple of feet away but nowhere in habershams initial Police Report does he mention this moment. The national bar association, a group of africanamerican attorneys and judges is calling for habersham to be fired and indicted saying officer habersham deliberately left material facts out of his report. A former fbi agent says action should be taken against habersham if he saw slager drop that object. I think that the failure to do that indicates there was more loyalty to slager than there was loyalty to the ethics of the profession. Reporter some believe the criticism of officer habersham at this early stage of the investigation is unjustified. We dont know number one, where he was looking. Other things on his mind. Responding officers coming ambulance on the way. We have no way of knowing whether he, in fact, saw any actions that mr. Slager was taking. Reporter now we reached out to the attorney for officer Clarence Habersham and to the North Charleston Police Seeking response from all of those entities to the new allegations against habersham. The attorney did not get back to us. The police said they would not comment citing the investigation. South carolinas Law Enforcement division handleing the probably did not respond. Officer Michael Slagers attorney did not respond to the criticism of his apparent laughter right after the shooting. A second new audiotape, brian that has surfaced right after the shooting. Right . Reporter captures a little emotion right afterward, yes. The second audio taken from dashcam video from inside a patrol car captures a phone call between lag slager and someone cnn believes is his wife. Hey, hey, everything is okay. I just shot somebody. He grabbed my taser. Says yeah a couple times. He was running from me. Im fine. Wolf . Another major development, brian. Thanks very much. Lets go live to South Carolina now. Martin savage in North Charleston where the pain is deep outrage, and the family of walter scott, are they looking to see the second Police Officer who arrived on the seen do they want him investigated, maybe even charged . Reporter at this particular point they say no. Comfortable with the fact is under investigation by stays Law Enforcement, the oversight body looking into the entire incident and will wait and see what those investigators come forward with when it comes to the second officer and whether or not they should be indicted on charges. Some protesters said definitely there should be an officer indicted over this matter, but in the Community Overall seems now its a wait and see attitude wolf. The Police Community in north cars charleston have she responded to the arrest, the murder charge of that fellow officer. Reporter a few are opening or talking publicly about their feelings however those quoted in other areas have said that theyre deeply troubleed by what theyve seen. We already know the chief of police was sickened by the video. We know the mayor has been very sympathetic towards resulter scotts family. The only supporting the officer right now are, of course, his 340er mothers, his wife and second attorney. Remember his first attorney stepped away from the case. It would seemly in Law Enforcement right now are backing out from any kind of support when it comes to Michael Slager. What about the protest theres in North Charleston . What have they been like . Reporter well on a daily basis. One is just starting to warm up behind us now. Theyve been peaceful, all of them, and primarily people giving their own statements and times theyve suffered at the hands of local Law Enforcement. Last night, new reinforcements arrived. Those who protested in ferguson moshgs missouri. Seems the attitude may be changing going from what had been simple demonstration to what now in the organization say will be resistance. Wolf . Martin thank you. Martin savidge reporting from North Charleston South Carolina for us. Joining uses Sedrick Alexander president of the organization of black Law Enforcement executives and serves on president obamas task force on 21st century policing. As usual, thank you very much for joining us. Talk first about what Shocking Development in tulsa, oklahoma that reserve deputy 73yearold bob bates, now facing seconddegree manslaughter charges. Let me play the tape once again. Watch this. I dont think we have that tape right now. Were not going to play it but saw it just before. Soapsedly thought he was using a taser instead of a handgun and shot and killed the suspect in this case. What do you make of it . Well the whole scene is going to be troubling and its going to raise a number of questions, wolf. In regards to the procedure itself. Certainly, the officers were working wipp inging inging within their right in terms of making an arrest. Once they got handson subject, something very clearly and very tragic went wrong. Now, this could be a training issue. Of course taking into account, that is a very high stressful time for everyone involved but anytime someone is shot even accidentally in an incident such as that it certainly creates a great deal of pause, particularly a climate were in at this very moment. The other thing rather disturbing about that whole piece of footage even after the victim was shot an appearance of absolutely no concern to his wellbeing even after they determined he was shot and you saw that and you heard it quite frankly, through much of the verbal conversation that took place on that video. I think we have that video. Let me see if we can play it right now. Watch this. Stop right there. [ bleep ]. I roll on your stomach, now i shot him. Im sorry. Ah oh he shot me. He shot me he oh stop fighting [ bleep ] oh oh oh he shot me. He shot me. He you hear me . Put your hands behind your back [ bleep ]. Disturing. Eastern after shot you saw what was going on. The investigators brought in to look at the case says bates is the reserve deputy the 73yearold, not a paid Police Officer. That he hadnt done anything criminally wrong but the Sheriffs Department is Still Standing behind bates, the Sheriffs Department recommended not pressing charges but in this particular case, as you know the District Attorney decided to move forward with the charges of seconddegree manslaughter charge. Do you think thats appropriate . Well i mean whats going to be appropriate in that community is going to be based on what the investigative bodies in this case the d. A. s office determine as being appropriate. And im certainly not going to question what they do or not do. I think the important piece is that this is still an Ongoing Investigation, and i think a number of factors need to be taken into account, but if thats the position that the d. A. Takes at this point, then he or she certainly reserves the right to do so based on the evidence that has been presented to them. What worries you is that in the aftermath of the shooting, they really are still pounding away not really trying to do anything to save his life. Right . Well thats what it appears to be, but, of course, wolf you and i are not there. And ive been in situations or similar to this before and many of us who have been in a profession for a period of time know were be very challenging, but heres a man who has been shot. And its very clear to everyone that he has been shot. But some of the language and footage there is somewhat i think, disturbing and this all could go back to training and hopefully more training than just attitude. Its just in tulsa. North charleston South Carolina, the shooting of walter scott there officially label add traffic stop gone wrong before the video emerged, that horrific video weve all seen by now. Do you believe these charges, the murder charge against the Police Officer, Michael Slager works have gone forward if that video didnt exist . Well one thing is very evident here its that we do have the video. The video certainly tell as story. A great significant part of that story that is going to be very important going forward, and here again, in the state of South Carolina the Law Enforcement will along with the d. A. s office felt it was appropriate, had probable cause, obviously, in order to affect an arrest and, therefore, thats going to be respected from where i am regardless of the decision that they made. So, therefore, based on everything we see, we clearly see something wrong here in South Carolina. That was just disturbing and shocking to all of us inside the Law Enforcement community and outside as well too. And now there are calls for some sort of Serious Investigation of a second Police Officer there who arrived on the scene. Sedrick, stand by. I want to pick up the conversation with you.

Were back with ved drik alexander, president of the Law Enforcement of black organization and serves on President Obama Task force on policing. The murder charge against the Police Officer Michael Slager in North Charleston South Carolina when what youve seen would you also issue charges potentially against the second Police Officer who arrived on the scene after the shooting, officer Clarence Habersham . Well, i think its important to remember that the officer that came up habersham, obviously came up app as backup to officer slager. So i think what has to be determined in all fairness one involved wolf there needs to be an Ongoing Investigation to make real determination what was the language used at that scene and what was meant by it and i think thats not going to be determined by the video we see or the short piece of footage that were listening to but its going to require further investigation in all fairness to that officer, to that department and to that Community Overall. Fairness is clearly important. Very important. Serm. Certainly. What about the new exchange of audio we just heard . You can hear the Police Officer, Michael Slager responding to a senior officer, laughing about the adrenaline pumping after the shooting . In fact let me play that for you. Uhhuh. Get home probably be a good idea to kind of jot down your thoughts of what happened. Okay. Your adrenaline still pumps. Its pumping. All right. Is that odd . Because he seemed to be slager laughing off the shooting just a little bit of this unarmed man, walter scott, shot him five times in the back and in the ear. Well that officers overall behavior is somewhat questionable and concerning to all of us. I wouldnt as one of your guests they stated earlier, i wouldnt read a lot into it. Everyone was probably very stressed during that moment. Sometime a quick laugh as such is inappropriate as it may appear and is, quite frankly sometimes thats just anxiety that may just be playing itself off. But i think overall when you look at the entire piece of footage from the time that the shots were fired up until the time he walks towards the body we saw very little concern, emotion or help being offered to the victim at that time. So if you put it and you compartmentalize it that way, none of it looks, feels or is perceived as being someone that is trying to provide some help, even after he shot and killed the victim here. Do you believe race was a factor in the shooting death of walter scott . Let me say this i dont know what was in the head of officer slager. I hope race was not. But i cant tell you definitively that it wasnt. I can only hope that in todays policing that we have advanced ourselves with all of our officers way beyond that and hopefully that is not the case but i dont know whats in the head of that officer. Most Police Office almost all around the country, are decent hardworking they want to protect us. We need their protection. They play a critically Important Role but there are so many of these cases now that emerge and now that there is cref phone, dashcam video, body camara video, were seeing a lot more of this. How do we train specifically let me rephrase the question. Ho how do you and your colleagues train officers to make sure these incidents do not recur . We have to go beyond training. Training is an important part of it utilizing modern technology and thats afforded to us is very important as well too. But what is critically important here is we have to make sure from the onset that were hiring the right people wolf and were training the right people and personalities for this job. This is a guardian position and were here to protect and to serve, but the community has a responsibility as well too, to work closely with police. But i think we have to recruit a lot more carefully as we move forward into the 21st century as as we recruit bet around train better hopefully we see less of these incidents. Across the country. And maybe if local, state, federal authorities pay better youll get better people wanting to serve as well. Just a thought. Ive got to thieve there. Sedrick alexander, president of the National Organization of blah Law Enforcement executives. Thanks for joining us. Thank you for having me wolf. When we come back shifting gears. Experts standing by. New evidence that terrorism could be on the rise.

Healthier is here. An american jailed and accused of being an al qaeda operative once seen by the u. S. Government as a target aassassination by drones. What to do with terror suspects . Capture them or target them for killing on the battlefield . Joins us now cnn counterterrorist phillip mudd National Security analyst peter bergen Law Enforcement tom fuentes, and intelligence and security analyst bob bair also a former cia operative. Bob, is the strategy of capturing these terror suspects bringing them back to the United States for trial rather than simply using a drone to kill them is that a realistic strategy for the government to pursue . Because we know until recently the goal was to simply kill these people. Well wolf im for bringing them back and putting them on trial for no other reason than to expose anonymity of their arguments and violence let the world know who these people are. Those you cant get to you have to disrupt them with drones and assassinations. There are two classes of people. Often when you bring them back you can bring them around to talking, especially when faced with life in prison. And potentially get useful information to the process. Phil how much can the u. S. Trust 134 ofsome of the partners for this . Say pakistan or some other country says we have good information, theres an american whos a terrorist. Go out, use a drone, kill him . If returning these operations against americans you cannot use foreign intelligence to target an american for a drone operation. Developing intelligence whether somebody posing a threat and that individual is an american use your own stuff. The other side of the coin can you trust the foreign governments intelligence saying weve identified the location well enough to pick him up . Aye looked at the case in the paper. A huge risk. Every day you sit and there say, im hoping or gambling that Foreign Service can pick this guy up is a day he has a chance to plot against america. Its a huge cost benefit. Correct me if im wrong, youve been in a room where these decisions have to be made send out a drone, assassinate dont get me from trouble, wolf. Ever hehesitate. On the front end. Intelligence and legal premise to target someone symbolintelligence reach a threshold and confident enough the person on the ground is actually the person were hearing on the phone or talking to an informant about . Once you reach that threshold of confidence that the person is involved and conspiring against america, and that it is who you think it is, youve got to lock and load. Does it make a difference if its a u. S. Citizen or nonu. S. Citizen . The terror suspect . Depends who you ask. My view it does not. Im in the minority here. If you decide that someone is an eminent threat to america that is theyre training people to target operatives against new york city and if you decide you cannot capture that person its not clear to me why you say, if that persons a pakistani or yemeni thats hugely different than whether theyre american. If you wait and sit on that case and somebody dies its the same problem. You cant take that risk. Whats bet jer kill a suspect on the battlefield, tom, or bring that suspect back to the United States for trial . There are cases you can make an argument one way or the other. From my voi, you know i travel all over the World Running Fbi International operations and being on the board of interpol. We preach were the United States stand for the rule of law. Except when we dont want to and do things we want to do. Second problem with the drone attacks is for every one of these guys with take out we have taken out innocent men, women and children causing entire villages extended families and regions to hate us and that reduces their cooperation with us and with their host government. Theres a down side to drones that are very serious either morally and the long term. You want to quickly weigh in, peter . A reason that popularity of the United States is around 10 , clo es to zero in pakistan. Because of the drone programs in this case an american citizen wasnt deemed to be an imminent threat to the United States and captured in pakistan. Been in the United States for a period of time. Hes clearly been interrogated at grange length and the its the way the government works. Theyre not supposed to willynilly kill people. Thats supposed to be the option of last resort not of first resort. They say it is last resort. Not willynilly. Give it a lot of dead men dont tell tales. And so we gather huge amounts of intelligence from people that we bring into custody and put on trial. Another matter. Youre right about that. Bob bair, i want to show you and viewers isis propaganda video just released showing the destruction of literally thousands of years of archaeological sites in a major archaeological destination. People going there for a long time just to see whats going on. You see whats going on. Isis has gone in there, chainsaws, bulldozers and simply destroying these places with significant religious significance as well. Whats going on here . Well wolf what were seeing here is this is this whole idea of destroying all graven images comes out of saudi arabia. Wahhabi ed lombislam expected since the 70s. They destroyed even old mecca medina graven images. Represented them. They will cut down tree the wahhabis because pagans worship them. You see this bloodyminded cult which i think is deviant from islam, going after these sites, and its not just in iraq. Theyre going after them in libya, going after them in syria. Anywhere they can get to them, but that is emblematic how bad this movement is and how destructive it snd and the reason we need to go after it hard. Youre not blaming the kingdom of saudi arabia for this brutality going on in iraq . Well i do indirectly. Historically they exported this philosophy to pakistan to al qaeda, to yemen all the way around the middle east. This goes back to the iranian revolution in 79 thinking their version of sunni islam would save the kingdom. I think it got out of hand but theyre not behind the destruction of these archaeological sites. No. What do you think . If youre a member of isis youre saying there is no god but god. We look at these sites with museums with these statues as history. They view these as graven images as bob said. In other words, images you could worship. Since there is no god but god theyve got to destroy these images because theres a prospect someone might view them as religiously significant. I understand what theyre doing but it is primitive. Guys leave it on that note but dont go too far away. Still ahead, we have new details about a scary incident that has the pentagon complaining about what it call as russian fighter jets fragresidentant offense.

Reporter climbing into the back of a van for a 1,086 road trip in had he home in chappaqua, new york, headed for monticello iowa passing through pennsylvania and ohio as well as her home state of illinois before reaching iowa. She is still haunted by her third place finish in 2008. Diana phoenix still remembers standing in line to see clinton back then. She ultimately supported barack obama, and now has questions about how much of a middleclass champion clinton actually is. Ties to wall street some of the votes she has voted that have not been as strong on keeping the banks in line and lending. Reporter when clinton arrives in iowa on tuesday, shell see that the 2016 campaign is already well under way. Democrats like former Maryland Governor Martin Omalley and former virginia senator jim webb have already been working the state. On the republican side the field is even more crowded with each hopeful trying to make a name for himself at clintons expense. I believe in the power reporter at a Campaign Stop today senator ted cruz led the charge. President obama and secretary clinton have had their chance. Their policies do not work.

We want to welcome our viewers from the United States and around the world. Im wolf blitzer. Youre in the situation room. This is cnn breaking news. And lets get to the breaking news. A new entry in the 2016 president ial race. Senator marco rubio is with about to become the third major republican to declare his candidacy only hours after democrat Hillary Clinton announced her campaign and set off on a road trip to iowa. Were awaiting rubios remarks in the crucial battleground state of florida where former governor jeb bush also is expect expected to jump into the race for the white house. Our correspondents and analysts are here to break it all down. But first, lets go to our chief Congressional Correspondent dana bash standing by. She is there where rubio is getting ready to make his announcement. Danea, set the scene. Reporter the excitement is absolutely building here. We expect the senator to come out pretty much any minute at this point to address the crowd. Im told that thats going to be about a 12minute speech not a very lengthy one, and the themes will be very lofty, very idealistic about the American Dream. The kind of theme marco rubio, a cuban exile, cuban refugees has been talking about for some time that he is the son of a bartender, a maid and the fact that america was so welcoming to his family and he is the American Dream and wants to make sure that happens in the future but i think probably one of the most noteworthy things that weve gotten some excerpts that theyve released, it is the idea of the future. Hes very much making this about a generational choice. In fact, uses those words, a generational choice, saying yesterday is over. Its about tomorrow. Seems to be a twopronged hit there as his mentor and old friend jeb bush who is in his 60s, a republican competitor and the person we expect to be the democratic nominee also in her 60s, Hillary Clinton. Meanwhile marco rubio is just 43 years old. Whats it like there in the room where you are, dana . Reporter its a crowded room. Its an interesting venue. This is much more conducive for symbolism, the reason he chose it than keeping in the media age. The reason im on the phone i believe hes coming out now. As hes coming out, ill tell you this is the freedom hour which is effectively the ellis island for cubans a couple decades ago where they would come and get come to the United States to get processed in this very room. His family didnt do so but this is why he chose it. And here he is, the florida senator, marco rubio. Hes about to make it official. He wants to be the next president of the United States and here he will explain why. Marco marco marco thank you. Thank you. That is a lot of cell phones. Thank you. Thank you for being here. After months of deliberation and prayer about the future of our country, i have come here tonight to make an announcement on how i can best serve. I choose to make this announcement at the Freedom Tower because it is truly a sim symbol of our nations identity as the land of opportunity. Despite our troubles we have it in our power to make our time another american century. In this very ram five decades ago, tens of thousands of cuban exiles began their new lives in america. Their story is part of the larger story of the american miracle. As far as their talent and work would take them, a collection of immigrants and exiles, of former slaves and refugees together built the freest and most prosperous nation ever. You see, for almost all of history, power and wealth belonged only to a select few. Most people who have ever lived were trapped by the circumstances of their birth, destined to live the life their parents had. The children and the grandchildren of people who refused to accept this. [ applause ] both of my parents were born to poor families in cuba. After his mother died my father had to go work when he was 9 years old. My mother was one of seven girls raised by a disabled father who struggled to provide for his family. When they were young, my parents had big dreams for themselves. But because they were born because they were not born into wealth or power, their future was destined to be defined by their past. And so in 1956 they came here to america, to the one place on earth where the aspirations of people like them could be more than just dreams. Here in america my father became a bartender. My mother a cashier, a maid a kmart store clerk. They never made it big but they were successful. Two immigrants with little money or education found stable jobs, owned a home retired with security and gave all four of their children a life better than their own. My parents achieved what had come to be known as the American Dream. The problem is now too Many Americans are starting to doubt whether achieving that dream is still possible. Hard working families that are living paycheck to paycheck, one unexpected expense away from disaster. Young americans unable to start a career or a business or a family because they owe thousands of dollars in Student Loans for degrees that did not even lead to jobs. And small Business Owners who are left to struggle under the weight of more taxes, more regulation, and more government. Why is this happening . In a country that for over two centuries has been defined by equality of opportunity. Its because while our people and our economy are pushing the boundaries of the 21st century, too many of our leaders and their ideas were stuck in the 20th century. [ applause ] theyre busy looking backwards so they do not see how jobs and prosperity today depend on our ability compete in a global economy, and so our leaders put us at a disadvantage by taxing and borrowing and regulating like it was 1999. [ applause ] they look for solutions in yesterday so they do not see the good paying modern jobs require different skills and more education in the past so they blindly support an outdated Higher Education system that is too expensive and too inaccessible too those no need it most, and they have forgotten they have forgotten that when america fails to lead it will inevitably follow. [ applause ] so they appease our enemies, betray our allies and betray our military. Now look at the turn of the 19th century, a generation of americans harnessed the power of the Industrial Age and they transformed this country into the leading economy in the world. And the 20th century became the american century. Well, now the time has come for our generation to lead the way towards a new american century. [ applause ] Marco Marco Marco if we raeeform our tax code and control spending and modernize our immigration laws and repeal or replace obamacare, if we do thooes things [ applause ] if we do these things the American People will create millions of better paying modern jobs. If we create a 21st century system of Higher Education that provides working americans the chance to acquire the skills they need that no longer graduate students with mountains of debt and degrees that do not lead to jobs ex [ applause ] and that graduates more students from High School Ready to work. Then our people will be prepared to seize their opportunities in this new economy. Mraus[ applause ] if we remember if we remember that the family, not the government, is the most Important Institution in our society. [ applause ] if we remember that all human life deserves protection of our laws. [ applause ] and if we remember that all parents deserve to choose the education thats right for their children then we will have a strong people and a strong nation. [ applause ] and if america once again accepts the mantle of Global Leader leadership. By abandoning this administrations dangerous concessions to iran and its hostility to israel. [ applause ] by reversing the who will owe ing out of our military, which by giving the men and women the resources, the care, and the gratitude that they deserve. [ applause ] by no longer being passive in the face of chinese and russian aggression. And by ending the near total disregard for the erosion of democracy and human rights around the world, especially cuba, venezuela, nicaragua. [ applause ] then if we did these things, then our nation would be safer, our world more stable, and our people more prosperous. These are the things that we must do but this election is not just about what laws are going to pass. This election is a generational choice about what kind of country we will be. Now just yesterday a leader from yesterday [ booing ] began a campaign for president by promising to take us back to yesterday. Yesterday is over. [ applause ] and were never going back. You see, we americans are proud of our history, but our country has always been about the few future. And before us now is the opportunity to author the greatest chapter yet in the amazing story of america. But we cant do that by going back to the leaders and ideas of the past. We must change the decisions we are making by changing the people who are making them. [ applause ] and so that is why tonight grounded by the lessons of our history but inspired by the promise of our future i announce my candidacy for president of the United States. [ applause ] didacy might seem improbable to some watching from abroad. After all, in many countries, the highest office in the land is reserved for the rich and the powerful. I live in an exceptional country. I live in an exceptional country where even the son of a bartenderer andbartend er erand a maid can have the same dreams. I live in an exceptional country where the son of a bartender and a maid can have the same dreams and the same future as those who come from power and privilege. I recognize i recognize the challenges of this campaign. And i recognize the demands of this office that i seek. But in this endeavor as in all things i find comfort in the ancient command. Be strong and courageous. Do not tremble or be dismayed for the lord your god, is with you wherever you go. [ applause ] ive heard ive heard some suggest that i should step aside and wait my turn. But i cannot. Because i believe our very identity is an exceptional nation is at stake and i can make a difference as president. [ applause ] im humbled by the realization that America America doesnt owe me anything. But i have a debt to america i must try to repay. This isnt just a country where i was born. Americas literally the place that changed my familys history. I regret that my father did not live to see this day in person. He used to tell me all the time he used to tell us us all the time [ speaking in spanish ] [ applause ] in this country you will achieve all the things we never could. [ applause ] now on the days when im tired or discouraged, i remember the sounds of his keys jingling at the front door of our home well past midnight. As he returned from another long day at work. When i was younger, i didnt fully appreciate all that he did for us. But nows as my own children grow older, i more fully understand. You see, my father was grateful for the work he had. That was not the life he wanted for his children. He wanted all the dreams he once had for himself to come true for us. He wanted all the doors are that closed for him to open for me. And so my father stood behind a small portable barn in the back of the room for all those years so that tonight i could stand behind this podium in front of this room and this nation. [ applause ] that journey can that journey from behind that bar to behind this podium thats the essence of the American Dream. And whether we remain a special country will depend on whether that journey is still possible for those who are trying to make it right now. The single mother who works long hours for little pay so her children dont have to struggle the way she has to. The young student who takes two buses before dawn to attend a Better School halfway across town town. The workers in our Hotel Kitchens the landscaping crews in our neighborhoods, the latenight janitorial staff that clean our offices, and even the bartenders who tonight are standing in the back of a room somewhere in america, if their American Dreams become impossible we will have just become another country. But if they succeed, this 21st century will also be an american sentcentury. [ applause ] this will be the message of my campaign and the purpose of my presidency. And to succeed on this journey, i will need your prayers and your support and ultimately your vote vote. And so tonight im asking to you take that first step. My wife and four children are here tonight. [ applause ] the next 19 months had will take me far away from home. Ill miss watching amanda run track and daniella play volleyball and anthony play football and dominick play soccer. But i have chosen this course because this election this election is about them. Theirs is the most important generation. And ill tell you why. Because if we can capture the promise of this new century, they will be the freest and the most prosperous americans that have ever lived. But if we fail they will be the first generation of americans to inherit a country worse off than the one left for their parents. The final verdict on our generation will be written by americans who have not yet been born. Let us make sure they record that we made the right choice that in the early years of this century faced with a rapidly changing and uncertain world our generation rose to face the great challenges of our time. And because we did, because we did, there was still one place in the world where who you come from does not determine how far you go. [ applause ] because we did. Because we did, the american miracle lived on. Because we did, our children and theirs lived in a new american century. Thank you, god bless you. God bless the United States. Thank you. Thank you. [ applause ] all right, so there he is marco rubio, the 43yearold senator from florida announcing he wants to be the next president of the United States making his case just under 20 minutes or so maybe 18 or 19 minutes. A carefully prepared speech. He deviate add little bit but not significantly. Hes now being joined by his wife. I dont know if his four kids are going to come up there. Lets get a little sense of whats going on. A historic moment for marco rubio. Joining us now Gloria Borger our chief National Correspondent john king anchor of inside politics and our senior washington correspondent jeff zelery. It looks like the kids are coming up as well. A nice moment. Gloria what do you think . I think theyre a wonderful, appealing looking family there. I think this was a speech that was clearly devoted to telling americans that its time for a new generation. He portrayed Hillary Clinton as yesterday, as he called her, and he also chastised those who say to him, you know, maybe you should step aside. Its not your turn and that is clearly referring to jeb bush. He talked about an america in which government is smaller, theres less regulation. There is tax reform less passive Foreign Policy more aggressive. Talked about modernizing immigration. No surprises here. Except for the fact that this is somebody who has just come on the national scene, just became a senator five years ago, and is looking like a very attractive president ial candidate that can bridge between the tea party and the establishment in the Republican Party. Just a bit younger than another first term senator, barack obama, was when he decided to run for president of the United States john king. Wolf, and they dont like the xa son if you add the name, but if you look at what obama did, his team does talk about that. Barack obama came in challenged the ways of his party, if you will. Hillary clinton was supposed to be inevitable. He said, no, its time for a new generation, time for something different, time for change. The Republican Party is normally the party where you say its your turn. And so people say who is the senior republican waiting . They have no frontrunner. The democrats are now the reapians. They have Hillary Clinton. And marco rubio is trying to upend the apple cart. Anybody will tell you, consultants who watch this democrats or republicans, as my friend ron fournier said march he corubio in the view of most is the best athlete on the field. The question is can he grow . Its like playing in major league baseball. 162 games. Can you play every day . Can you hit every day . Can you perform every day . Whats his place in the Republican Party . He came in on the Tea Party Wave but he was the speaker on the floor of the house. He got out early saying lets reform immigration, give people a pathway to citizenship. The party slapped him back a bit. He was humbled by that. Lets see how he performs. If you travel the kuncountry especially to small towns across america where they used to make things the American Dream thing, people will say thats corny. You go to small town america, that has great potential. Marco rubio has great potential. Now were about to feigned out if he can perform and realize. He took a nice little swipe there at Hillary Clinton, jeff. He said just yesterday a leader from yesterday began a campaign for president by promising to take us back to yesterday. Then he said yesterday is over. We are never going back. We know exactly who hes talking about there. All the republicans in this field will try to distinguish themselves by attacking her and presenting a difference to her. Its far, far too soon to know if he will ever appear on a debate stage with Hillary Clinton. Both primaries have to play out. But if he does this generational argument just the image of that is a very potent argument. Now one thing that is that may be a problem for him the whole anthem of the Republican Party is barack obama was too inexperienced to serve in the white house. Marco rubio spent more time in the Florida Legislature but his time in the senate is about the same. No huge accomplishments, a very accomplished smart senator, but that will be his biggest challenge. Will america elect a freshman senator one more time . Lets get some more analysis and bring in our political commentators. Anna is a good friend of senator rubios, but she is a supporter of his like lyly opponent, the former florida governor, jeb bush. Also joining us peter, contributing editor for atlantic media. Anna what did you think of senator rubios speech . It was exactly what i expected. I expected him to be optimistic, to talk about hi family. I expected him to given the speech of his life. I think the speech was beautiful and it was, frankly, classic marco rubio. His oratory skills are unequalled i will tell you on both sides of the political spectrum. I think he has the best political skills of anybody on either side thats running for this. What do you mean by that the best political skills ever . Retail politicking. He has a family thats cast out of central casting. He has his ability to give a speech and engage the audience is amazing. So really his political skills are extraordinary. The question that i think is going to hang over marco rubio and over the other senators that are running is do they have the experience . Are they old enough . Do they have the maturity . Do they have what it takes to be the leader of the United States of america, the leader of the free world, to negotiate the treaties . Its very different. Having political skills is very different to having the ability to govern and thats, i think, a question that will get answered as we go you through the primary period. I know youre good friends with former governor jeb bush. Youre a supporter of jeb bush. When marco rubio said he was proud that a son of a bartender like himself, a son of a maid can have the same dreams the same future as those who come from power and privilege, was that a little swipe at jeb bush . You know, the media has often interpreted it as such and i spoke to marco about it several months ago when it started getting interpreted that way by the media. Its actually been in his speeches now for a long time, far longer than jeb has been considering a run for governor for president. I dont think it was a swipe at him. Its something that is part of his narrative, part of his biography and has been part of his political identity in speeches for years and years. Peter, what did you think of his speech . I thought it was very strong . I think he is by far the best orator. The problem he faces is theres only one way to get the republican nomination. He has to run straight over jeb bush because he has to be the establishment candidate. A lot of big donors do like him but bush has come in and sucked up so much oxygen so much money. Rubio needs to have bush fall on his face or push him on his face so he can be the establishment candidate. He will not be the conservative candidate. With ted cruz and Mike Huckabee there are too many people he is pegs ly after rubios position on immigration who are more appealing to the hard right. Rubio has to be the establishment candidate. He can only do it if he goes past jeb bush. About 20 years age difference. Jeb bush about 63 years old. Dana bush is thereash is there. Give us a sense of what happened. Reporter i was in the room during the speech. You never know how it comes across on tv versus how it feels in the room. Obviously the momentum was there in terms of the crowd. But at the beginning, look the expectations for marco rubio are extremely high to give a good speech. At the beginning he looked a little bit nervous, i have to say. He looked like oh, my gosh. Is this really happening . And then he got his groove on and got more comfortable as it went on. It didnt seem he was on his game at the beginning. The other thing i would note there is i know ana is saying when he talked about the generational differences and the need to go forward and not backwards, hes just talking about Hillary Clinton. Its impossible not to consider the fact that he is running against somebody who was his mentor and its just the fact of the matter. I was told there are some people in that room who normally would have been for jeb bush but they signed on with marco rubio early because they never thought jeb bush was going to run. It gives you a specific illustration of the difficulty for many republicans here having to choose between the two of them and the one last thing i will say is what im told marco rubio has said to jeb bush and said to others about this very real very odd competition between the two of them its not a competition. Its just two men auditioning for the same role. Very interesting to see how they deal with one another as the months go on and when jeb bush gets in and theyre on the debate stage whether it will get rough and tumble like we saw with Hillary Clinton and barack obama. Gloria we did hear marco rub rubio say the country needs major reforms, reducing regulations, controlled spending modernized our immigration laws. He said that repeal and replace obamacare. He laid out an agenda for the domestic he didnt say what he would do. He laid out the agenda. Modernize our immigration laws. Given the history that he had, once he wanted to allow some sort of, what the critics call amnesty, pathway to citizenship, but then he backed away from it later, thats a big issue in a republican primary. Its a huge issue in the republican primary. Its one issue he probably wont fight with jeb bush over because theyre pretty much in the same place. The lesson he tells conservatives that he learned is you cant do anything on immigration until you prove that you can control the borders. And that was the great lesson he said. But i do think you know the republican candidates are talking about refeeling and or replacing obama care. Theyre not telling what you theyre going to replace obama care with because its very hard political willy to take something away from people that they already have part of which they already like. And i think, you know this is going to be a problem for all of these republican candidates. Can i say one thing about experience because we were talking about experience here. I was lacking inglooking at some polling today. 55 of republicans say they want experience more than vision. Thats a reaction against the president , but the kind of experience they want is not legislative. Its executive. So that speaks very well for a governor running for the presidency. And to peters point earlier, thats a very smart point. You look at this republican field and youre going to have santorum who has run before in iowa huckabee over there. You know youll have ted cruz over there. Theyve extended the republican calendar in a way that early on everyone thought was smart. A lot of establishment people are saying, wait a minute, are we going to have a conservative still in the race when we go to the primary in mississippi, louisiana, alabama . For marco rubio, he does impress the donors in private. Hes made a great impression on the romney people. Can he stay in the race and execute himself as a politician on the stage but where is his place . Dana says he doesnt want to compete with jeb bush. He will have to stand on a debate stage in iowa or New Hampshire early on and win. Hes going to have to win somewhere. His success is built on the crumbling of jeb bush or the conservatives not accepting him as a candidate. Donors i am told that jeb bush has locked up the bush donors. Theres a whole new class of people who have done very well. The younger millionaires and thats who he is going after. I was email inging with one about an hour ago in the crowd and he said so many people here, big donors youve never seen them before in politics. Thats who he is going after. Scott walker is a governor in that same space that marco rubio wants. Because hes in his early to mid40s as well. Peter beinart, a major portion dealt with security. He went after president obama and certainly Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state, by saying the u. S. Has made dangerous concessions to iran and has shown hostility to israel. He went on to say they have total disregard for the erosion of democracy and human rights around the world. Then he added this is not in the advanced text but he add theed the words in cuba venezuela and nicaragua. What did you think of the points he was trying to make when it came to National Security and Foreign Policy . That played well with republican vote ertz and donors. Factually theyre pretty much absurd. The idea the u. S. Which gives israel 3 billion and under this administration has given more hightech military equipment than under any other president is showing hostility is ridiculous. When it comes to not supporting freedom in in iran and cuba its worth noting the people in cuba and the Washington Post did an interesting poll about this the people of cuba and iran are wild about the obama outreach policies because they know they offer the best chance for them in fact to see a change in their regime. Ana navarro, what did you think of his statement on National Security . First, its very typical of marco. He is on the Foreign Relations committee in the senate. Hes the chairman of the western hemisphere subcommittee. Cuba, venezuela, nicaragua are three important voting groups here in south florida. I think he not only has worked on that a lot in the senate he also knows right there hes stoking the hometown crowd, and there is going to be a fight, i think, for the hometown vote and, you know you all are going to be watching were all going to be watching. I think there is going to be a lot of drama coming in this race. I dont think that marco intend now intent is one thing and execution is another. But right now i dont think that either marco or jeb are seeing this as a competition between the two of them. I saw jeb bush two days ago and i had an exchange with marco two days ago. You know these two guys are friends and they like each other. They sat next to each other on a plane coming back from nashville where they were both at the nra conference on friday. And, in fact jeb commented to me that marco had been working on his speech while sitting next to him and he they joked and they talked the entire flight. So there is a genuine relationship there. I think its true. I think marco and a lot of people did not expect jeb to run, and, you know this is developing and its hard for a lot of us emotionally tearing and its emotionally difficult for a lot of us who are very good friends of both of them. Florida, as you know john is a key battleground state. If marco rubio or jeb bush can carry florida, thats a major problem potentially for the democratic nominee. Lets say its Hillary Clinton. Thats one of the reasons, look, one of the reasons if you talk to republican strategists and donors they look at rubio and bush of the field as they look at it now. Most republican strategists will tell you one of them will be as they look today the best general election candidate. If you look at the map of what has happened in the last six president ial elections. If the democrats win the same as theyve won the last six elections, 242. You win florida and you are the president of the United States. All you need is florida. They have to take florida off the map, get ohio back put new mexico and nevada in play. Two states where latinos matter in addition to florida. Virginia is a competitive state now and the latino population is growing there. There are other demographics there as well. Looking at the map thats why the republicans say you want a bush or rubio, someone who can change the demographic dynamic. Scott walker will make the case i can win. This is opening week. Imagine the florida primary ana just laid out. If somehow raub yoe and bush both make it to floorrida, which means they have to survive iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and then you have a boom in florida, i mean, if the winner of that would be viewed as the heavyweight. If you had a rubio versus us bush in florida, jeb hasnt run in 12 years. Theyre both bilingual, speak spanish fluently they can campaign for the spanish vote which is significant in florida and many other states around the country. Hold on, ana. Hold on one second. They are bicultural and do speak spanish at home to their children and i think that ana is being very diplomatic here about the relationship between rubio and jeb bush. All the senators liked each other in 2008, right, until they didnt. This is shakespearean in a way. Bush was rubios mentor took him under his wing thought he was the most talented young politician he had seen in decades. And i think when he decided to run, he expected rubio he to kind of say, okay im going to wait my turn. And in talking to a senior party operative in the state today, he said to me deference is not one of marcho rubios great qualities, that he wasnt going to wait for jeb bush because when he didnt wait to run for the senate in 2010 nobody thought he could win, he actually won. Let me let ana make her point. Go ahead, ana. Theyre not just bilingual, they are bicultural. Gloria a lot of what youre saying it true. I would tell you that in 2010 a lot of the Florida Republicans, a lot of the florida heavyweights were with Charlie Crist at the beginning. Not me. I was with marco rubio from day one. But they were with Charlie Crist not because they liked Charlie Crist, not because they thought he was a brilliant, strategic person not because they thought he was a great candidate, but because they thought he could keep the seat this time around its way different. Its an entirely different animal. People are torn between a jeb bush who was a terrific governor and who so many of us have a lifelong friendship and loyalty to. And marco rubio has been a star who defeated Charlie Crist who was, frankly, a rope around our next in the Republican Party here and who none of us really liked but were stuck with. Its a very difficult position for a lot of us here in florida. For the republicans in the race its not just a jeb and marco rubio, rand Paul Scott Walker thank god very quickly, jeff the fact that Jeb Bush Marco Rubio can speak spanish potentially thats a bonanza for them, right . Its a bonanza in the general election, not as much so in the pray mare i dont believe. Key point if they both get to that florida primary race in march, a the lot of gas in the tank has to happen january and february. Weve a lot to assess and discuss. Stand by everyone. Theres other news were following as well. Just breaking now, a deputy charged in another deadly shooting caught on video. How could he mistake an actual gun for a stun gun . And stand by for all the new developments of the South Carolina Police Shooting including another new video surfacing of the officer charged with murder including a past incident with a stun gun. Big day . Ah, the usual. Moved some new cars. Hauled a bunch of steel. Kept the supermarket shelves stocked. Made sure everyone got their latest gadgets. Whats up for the next shift .

We have some breaking news on a stunning indent onboard a commercial airplane. Our aviation correspondent renee marsh is standing by at Reagan National airport here in the washington, d. C. Area. Tell us what you know. Reporter well wolf this is all just coming in now but we have confirmed with Alaska Airlines that this aircraft Alaska Airlines flight 448 from los angeles going to los angeles, i should say, from seattle, was forced to make an Emergency Landing after screams and banging was hurt coming from the lower part of the aircraft. The captain immediately returned to seattle for an Emergency Landing. We should tell you the aircraft was in the air for about 14 minutes. Once it landed the discovery was made a ramp agent was found inside of a cargo hold. We can tell you at this point that that person has been transported to the hospital, but according to the airport this individual was able to walk out of the cargo hold. So it appears this person will be okay, but still taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure. We should mention that this specific area of the aircraft where this person was during the flight it is pressurized and it is temperature controlled, so that is good news for that individual, but we do know from the airline they say that they are investigating. They are actively investigating the matter because the big question at this hour how is it this ramp agent was in the cargo hold of this flight and this plane was in the air for 14 whole minutes and no one knew this before takeoff . So that is actively under investigation, wolf. The headline this flight was forced to make an Emergency Landing after it was discovered that a ramp agent was inside of the cargo hold. Its a pretty extraordinary development, isnt it . It doesnt happen that often. I dont remember a time it has happened do you . Reporter no i dont recall reporting on such a thing. The real question is going to be for both the airport as well as the staff on the ground there who are in charge of loading the luggage how did this misstep exactly happen . Usually theres more than one person on the ground as you know loading that luggage into the belly of the plane. So how is that wheels were up and takeoff happened and no one realized somebody was inside . Thankfully wolf the section of this plane, like we said pressurized and regular temperature, otherwise this story could have ended a lot differently. Certainly could have. Renee, thank you very much. Re rene marsh over at Reagan National airport. People ship all kinds of things. But what if that thing is a few hundred thousand doses of flu vaccine. That need to be kept at 41 degrees. While being shipped to a country where its 90 degrees. In the shade. Sound hard . Yeah. Does that mean people in laos shouldnt get their vaccine . We didnt think so. From figuring it out to getting it done, were here to help. Breaking news. New video has just come out of the former South Carolina Police Officer Michael Slager. It shows him using a taser on a motorist during a traffic stop. Slager is the same officer who is charged with murder for the shooting death of walter scott. Cnns brian todd has more on what is going on. What is the latest youre learning brian . Tonight officer Michael Slager and the North Charleston police are being sued over another incident as you mentioned, involving slager and the use of force. Julius wilson is the mans name. He and his lawyer suing them for civil rights violation, suing slager suing the North Charleston police. This stems from a traffic stop in North Charleston in august of last year. This is the dash cam video of that traffic stop. Julius wilson is pulled over by another officer. The dash cam video shows that officer talking to wilson. The officer goes to his own vehicle, comes back tells wilson he is driving with a suspended license and he needs to get out of the car that he is taking him to jail. Slager, the second guy there, the second policeman there, approaches the scene. Here is what happens next. Lets go. I got this. Okay, lets go. Step out. You got a suspension so youre going to go to jail. No im not. No im not. Officer, officer, officer. All right, here is the deal. Officer. Ive asked you nicely. All, yall im asking yall. Im asking you to step out of the car, sir. Im asking you nicely. Please step out of the car. If you dont step out of the car, im going to assist you out of the car. Youre under arrest. Please step out of the car. Officer. Step out of the car. Step out of the car. What am i being under arrest for, officer . Step out of the car step out of the car get out of the car officer get out of the car. Get out of the car. Back up im okay. Back up im okay. Oh [ bleep ]. Turn over turn over or youre going to get hit again. Julius wilson and his attorney claim he was tased after he was put into submission. The video, at least at the outset seems to support that. We reached out to the North Charleston police and to slagers attorney for response to this lawsuit, to that incident. We have not heard back wolf. Brian todd thanks very much. Tom fuentes, what do you make of this . I wasnt sure i could see exactly when the tasing started in that. But what i see is yet another example of somebody that resists arrest doesnt comply with the Police Forces them to force him out of the car and place hands on him. And nothing good is going to come of that. But when you have officers wrestling with somebody on the ground its very difficult to bend a persons arms back behind him to handcuff him. I think thats why they wanted to tase him to stun him for a second so they could do that. I couldnt tell exactly when that tasing happened. But yet again someone fails to comply a lawful order to get out and be taken into custody. Bad things happen. And joey jackson is joining us or criminal defense attorney hln legal analyst. You heard the Police Officer say were asking you nice please come out of the car. He refuses to come out of the car. And we all saw what happened afterwards. What is your analysis . Its always important to comply now and grieve later. However, the critical point in this in this lawsuit will be when the force of the taser was applied. Was it applied when the actual suspect was subdued . In the event, as it appeared to show, that it was applied when he was subdued, then the argument is its a misapplication of force. If someone is under control, then you dont apply. However, i would certainly assert that under no circumstances on the street should people be taking matters into their own hands. That being said use a taser when its appropriate and necessary, not when someone is defenseless and otherwise not posing a danger at that specific time. Thats going to be the question wolf. I think he makes a good point. Well i can tell you from personal experience wolf until the handcuffs are on both wrists, a person is not subdued while theyre laying on the ground still resisting, still wrestling. They can spin around they can do many bad things. I dont know. Thats why until we find out in more detail when exactly the taser was applied, we cant tell when he was subdued. I think youll agree joey its a whole new world out there with all the dash cam video, the body camera video the cell phone video. Its a whole new world out there for Police Officers and for the public. It absolutely is wolf. But a bottom line i do believe the more body cams the more dash cams the better because you have transparency. And if a person knows that theyre being videod, theyll be on their best behavior. And certainly an officer will be on their best behavior as well. I think it assists all parties involved. Thanks very much.
