And signing autographs. The suspect walked up and shot christina. This is horrible. Honestly its probably one of the worst things that could literally happen right now. Just a glimpse of all the things were talking about. Good morning to you. Were grateful for your company as always. Good to be with you in the cnn newsroom. New this morning, mitt romneys revolt is not going unanswered, lets say. Donald trump now says the last republican nominee choked like a dog. Those are his words. And donald trump firing off this morning and romney vowing that he will not vote for trump calling the presumptive nominees message, racist, vulgar and dangerous. Watch. President s have an impact on the nature of our nation and trickledown racism, trickledown bigotry and misogyny are extraordinarily dangerous to the heart and character of america. Now, heres what donald trump had to say a short time ago. Quote, mitt romney had his chance to be the president but he choked like a dog and now he calls me racist. But i am least racist person there is. Obviously that coming to us from twitter. Cnn politics reporter Jeremy Diamond is live from florida where the trump rally is set to start an hour from now. Trumps event last night drew a surprisingly as i understand it small crowd. What can you tell us about the attendance there this morning . Reporter yeah, well, certainly, you know, by donald trump standards todays crowd is all . Er than hes used to. Theres no line to speak of outside. Theres no line of people waiting to get into this event. Thatsing . That donald trump says theres thousands of people waiting outside in line to get in. Today that is not the case. This place is less than half full which is certainly interesting given that donald trump is kicking off his general Election Campaign so to speak with Hillary Clinton now the Presumptive Democratic nominee and this is a key state that hes going to have to try to win if he cants to win in the general election. Florida a battleground state consistently in multiple president ial elections, as donald trump is trying to unite the Republican Party and not just looking towards the general election but try to unite his own party around him specifically after he had all of this controversy about the judge overseeing his Trump University case. Donald trump is pushing back on accusations that he is a racist saying he is the least racist person last night in his rally and today this morning in a tweet. All righty, jeremy, diamond, we appreciate it, thank you. A lot to talk about here. So here with me amy kremer cofounder of the group women vote trump and theren johnson south regional director for obamas 2012 camcampaign. Good to have you back. Good to be here. Lets start with you, amy, and trumps defense last night against these claims, these accusations that he is a racist. Watch i am the least, just s you know, i am the least racist person, the least racist person that youve ever seen, the least. I mean, give me a break. All right. So, those claims that hes fighting off they come after a year of this. Lets watch when mexico sends its people, theyre not sending their best. Theyre bringing drugs. Theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapists. And some i assume are good people. Donald j. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. Until our countrys representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. Ive been treated very unfairly by this judge. Now, this judge is of mexican heritage. Im building a wall. If you are saying he cant do his job because of his race, is that not the definition of racism . I dont think so at all. So, amy, what do you say to those people who say that the history, the record here, is clear the rhetoric, the words are racist . Look, i mean i think that [ inaudible ] become the thing where people run away from that [ inaudible ] and i dont think because of what amy, let me cut you off because were having an audio issue. Were going to come right back to you. We just need to fix the technical element. Theren, let me come to you, you heard hopefully your audio is good, your response to donald trump saying hes not a racist after what some say is clear rhetoric . Victor, if you listen to the clips that you just played, theres no way that anyone who has been paying attention to this race cannot say that donald trump has been making some very racist comments. When you have the speaker of the house, the highestranking republican says, and i quote, that Donald Trumps comment about the judge being of mexican heritage is the textbook definition of a racist comment, i mean, this is just crazy to me. And the thing about donald trump is that he says, well, im not racist, just listen to knee, let me tell you that im not. But hes done nothing and i mean doing to show us through his actions and through his Campaign Message that he is not a racist. So, i think this is a very, very bad week for donald trump. He is constantly redefining rock bottom and basically, you know, dividing this country and i think that hes got to regroup and it was a very, very bad week for him and a very good week for Hillary Clinton. I think we fixed the audio issue. Amy, pick up on your point here. No, because you want to build a wall so we can stop the illegal immigration problem that doesnt mean you are racist. You have stacy dash and silicon diamond, there are plenty of africanamericans that love donald trump and i think if he were racist they wouldnt be supporting him like that. That dwoword has become a tabood not only is it coming from the left its coming from the right now. And what i say to it is if mitt romney and paul ryan and all these people in the Republican Party had worked so hard to defeat barack obama in 2012 we might have mitt romney as president right now. But the problem is they cannot stand that theyre losing control and, victor, quite honestly, theres a Bigger Picture here. They if they keep doing this, theyre going to lose all the support they have. The American People are fed up with it. And i will say that bernie, you know, its not that the dimes are united either because bernie, his supporters are not getting on board with Hillary Clinton. There are a lot that are not getting on board with Hillary Clinton and i think its a message to with washington overall. Let me come to you, theren, a Major Clinton Foundation donor donated between 1 and 5 million to the Clinton Foundation was appointed to a sensitive intelligence board when clinton was secretary of state. The focus was arms control, disarmament and nonproliferation but the donor was a financial guy with no National Security experience, donating seven figures. The response from the clinton campaign, lets put that up, because there are questions about if this was an exchange, this appointment was an exchange, for that donation. This was an unpaid, volunteer Advisory Board and one of several foreign policyfocussed organizations that he was involved with. As the state department has said the isab the interNational Security advisorys board charter calls for a diverse set of experiences for its members. Thats all there is to it. But when the state department was asked about why this man, raj fernando was qualified, how he was qualified, there was no response given. There were emails that show they were told to stall and the next day he resigned from the board. Your concerns about how damaging this can be for secretary clinton. You know, im not that aware of the situation, victor, and i cant speak on behalf of the foundation or the campaign in regards to this. But my short answer would be this i think that Hillary Clinton and her campaign and other Staff Members have got to continue doing what theyve been doing and that is being transparent and make sure they answer all questions. Theres been no secret theres a politically motivated investigation against Hillary Clinton while she was the secretary of state and even while she was first lady and even while she was a senator and so i think what youve got to do is continue to just be transparent and ages the questions. But i want to respond really quickly a criminal fbi investigation is not political. It is more serious. Let i need you to wrap this up. Last thought. Amy, you are my friend and we come on this show a lot and we debate civilly, i think we need to continue to do that. I think the problem with the republicans right now theyve created this guy in donald trump and as a woman, amy, you should be very concerned that this guy you support has consistently disrespected women and he continues to do so, so theres no division thats not the case at all. Ill be happy to debate it with you at any time but thats not the case. Unfortunately weve run out of time to have that debate right now. Unfortunately audio problem took up a little more time than we had hoped. Thanks for having me. Thank you. A concert for an upandcoming pop star turns deadly.

Bye oh, my goodness, that video from singer Christina Grimmie best known for her performances on season six of the voice, she was a finalist. There she was asking fans to come out to last nights concert and police say after the concert she was shot and killed. In a few minutes Orlando Police are holding a press conference to update people on what is happening. Nick valencia is following the story. Walk us through what happened. Theres a lot of unanswered questions, who this gunman was, how they were connected to Christina Grimmie, did they know her. Was this a fan that just got too obsessed with her. Thats something that police are looking in to. You mentioned that 11 00 a. M. Eastern press conference by the Orlando Police department and hopefully well get some of those questions answered. Another one of the outstanding questions, of course, is how this person was able to get not just one but two guns into this venue. We have reached out to the owner of plaza live, have not heard back from him. But, of course, this is a terrible, terrible tragedy. A great young musician, her life cut short in the prime of her career just 22 years old. A youtube sensation that had built a following of 3 million fans on youtube. She parlayed that into an appearance on the voice where she finished third in that season contest. A lot of people pouring remembrances on social media remembering this young woman for the heart she had, the beautiful voice she had and, of course, this terrible tragedy this woman taken too soon. No doubt. Nick valencia, hey, stay with us. We know that she come feeted on the sixth season of the voice along with josh coffman who was the winner back then and he is with us now on the phone. Josh, i want to thank you for being with us. Offerenses to you. Were sorry that you are waking up to this news. Help us understand what she was like and what your reaction has been since learning this news. Sure. Like you said, obviously its the kind of thing its just sort of surreal to wake up to. And anybody who ever watched her perform knows how unbelievably talented she was. It was a privilege to have gotten to share a stage with her at the time that i did. As youve seen all over social media anybody who ever came across her or knew her knows that she was just a truly good person. Somebody youd love to be around. Somebody who cared about the world around her and just a huge tragedy for sure. You had the privilege of knowing her. We only see her through the screen. But what about her do you think will stick with you most . I mean, i think, you know, this two summers ago after i was on the voice and we did the voice tour that summer, and so obviously fe lly spent a time around her along with being on the show, too, and i think the big thing at such a young age she had found such a balance between focusing on this career that she had made for herself, but not getting too caught up in that and really understanding what was important in life. Just wanting to not be just a good performer and a good musician but a good person and really cared about that and about trying to make sure that that was the center of her life, that she was doing the right thing, making the right choices and being an example for all of these people who watched her and, you know, had the privilege of seeing her talent. And obviously that balance and those values she held followed her up until her death last night with her brother being there. Her brother essentially saving her life and many others possibly. Yeah. When we see that video that she posted, does it make you concerned about the threats that could be out there at these public venues when you perform or when others perform and how social media might work its way into that . I mean, i guessing . Like this always is going to put a little bit of that thought into your head and it just seems so arbitrary and senseless that if it can happen there, it feels like in some sense it can happen anywhere. But at the same time, you have to go on and do everything that you would normally do, and i dont think anybody can let it affect how they go about things. But, yeah, its obviously a scary thing. Well, josh kaufman we wish you the best and thank you, again, for taking time to talk to us. Our condolences to you and the entire voice family. Absolutely. Thank you. Thank you so much. Nick, we were talking about her family and how her brother was there and struggled. And i kept thinking about what it must have been like, first of all, for him to see her get shot, but then he had the wherewithal to chase this person. We know that, you know, he saw this incredible tragedy unfold. He saw his sister gunned down and he saw this gunman take his own life as well. We know to Christina Grimmie her family was a cornerstone in her life. She talked about her mom and being a cancer survive, and often foted at her events and concerts and she was doing what a lot of celebrities wanted to do, connect with their fans, to connect with people, only for Something Like this unfold. Nick valencia, thank you so much. Thank you to Josh Kauffman as well. And well keep you posted as we know in 40 minutes that press conference. Hopefully get some more information. Thank you. You got it. Also this weekend cnn has obtained Court Documents revealing new details of the former stanford student who sexually assaulted a woman behind a trash bin.

Com businessenergycheckup. Together, were building a better california. 23 minutes past the hour right now. Cnn has obtained Court Documents revealing more facets of the former stanford student who sexually assaulted an unconscious woman behind a trash bin including a history of drug and alcohol abuse. Brock turner was convicted on three felony counts of Sexual Assault, remember, and he was sentenced to only six months. He could be out in three. According to a sentencing memo, though, investigators found evidence of excessive drinking and using drugs on his cell phone including this picture of what they believe to be a bong. Our sara sidner is live near stanford in paolo alto, california. What have you learned this morning . Reporter good morning. When you look through the Court Documents there are a lot of details coming out. This is from the prosecution trying to inform the judge and give him some evidence so that he can sentence brock turner for a longer sentence. The prosecution asked for six years, and in those particular things there were letters from brock turner himself where he did apologize for his actions, but then he also blamed the culture here on campus for his drinking, saying that he came from a small town in ohio and that he really wasnt used to this kind of culture of drinking, you know, that he wasnt drinking alcohol, well, it appears that he lied to the judge because in the prosecutors sentencing memo she shows pictures and texts of hi pictures before he showed up at stanford doing acid and pot. And heres a picture of him holding a bong and youll see hes wearing his stanford swimming shirt and so the prosecution was trying to say to the judge, look, hes not being fully truthful with you here. You need to understand that this has been something he learned on campus, but this was something he was doing before, you cant blame alcohol and drugs for attacking someone either. So, those are some of the new details coming out in these documents and there are many, many more that we are seeing that are really frustrating people and angering the public as they go through some of this case where, you know, youre seeing somebodys life unfold in front of you and that is very unusual for people to care about every single detail. I think some of them are so outrageous to folks that every day theyre getting more and more angry and we are expecting to see some protests in the next couple of days here on the stanford campus. On the campus there, sara sidner, boy, thank you so much for walking us through all of that new information. And by the way this tuesday at 9 00 p. M. Eastern a cnn indepth look at the letter and the law, the stanford rape case town hall. Question is donald trump hurting republicans ability to raise cash. New worries that his rhetoric which many call divisi dive dev could hurt them this fall. Why do so many businesses rely on the Us Postal Service . Because when they ship with us, their business becomes our business. Thats why we make more ecommerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country. Here, there, everywhere. United states Postal Service priority you new biwhat are we gonna do . Ys. How about we pump more into promotions . Nah. What else . What if we hire more sales reps . Nah. What else . What if we digitize the whole supply chain . So people can customize their bike before they buy it. That worked better than expected. Ill dial it back. Yeah, dial it back. Just a little. Live business, powered by sap. When you run live, you run simple. Welcome back to cnn newsroom. Im victor blackwell. And im christi paul, so glad to have you with us here. Were standing by for a donald trump rally in tampa, florida, its one of eight states that trump will visit over the next week here. A lot of people wondering which trump will we see today. Well, the presumptive nominee respond to the charges from mitt romney that his message is racist, vulgar and dangerous. And when we refer to which trump will it be, that is that in reference to what we saw yesterday. We saw two very different trumps in a matter of 24 hours. Controlled and measured in the morning on teleprompter and in the evening back to the trump that we see typically at rallies. And if you havent seen the interview, donald trump and mitt romney are locked into this rhetorical war, trump calling romney a, quote, choker as romney renews his calls for trump to release his tax returns and accusing the presumptive nominee of hiding a bombshell thats in this cnn exclusive with wolf blitzer, watch. Theres no question in my mind he will never release his tax returns. Hell follow one excuse after another to say why he cant and hell never release them because theres something in there that he feels is worse for him than shooting someone on fifth avenue. In addition to the concerns over the republican infighting, some in the party are worried that trump will not be able to just raise the money necessary to compete with the democrats this fall. Cnn politics reporter is following this story for us. And we know that at this romney summit, this was i guess fair to say a decidedly antitrump crowd. Right, well this is not a nevertrump conference per se, but it is, of course, a retreat for allies and associates and fundraisers for governor romney who has been leading the charge against the presumptive nominee, you know, on the sidelines here, you know, the trump talk has been overwhelming at times, you know, several major donors and fund raisers for governor romney who helped him raise a billion dollars in 2012 say they havent been contacted, events in boston and new york where governor romneys fundraisers there have been received invitations and thats been much kind of the talk here at park city, where about 3 00 of governor romneys top friends and fundraisers are standing by. We also know that one of the attendees is former hewlettpackard Ceo Meg Whitman who ran for governor of california. And she made a pretty stark comparison, trump comparing him to mussolini and hitler. Tell us more about that exchange. She did. She did. This was in a conversation yesterday with paul ryan who, of course, has been sort of an unwilling at times endorser of donald trump, and he is, of course, also mitt romneys running mate. Meg whitman the ceo of hewlettpackard was talking and kind of grilling speari ining sn his endorsement and she placed trump in the historic trajectory of hitler and mussolini discussing what trumps rhetoric is. That might be more charged language than several people but, you know, the antitrump antipathy here is at times intense. To be certain, you know, governor romneys associates do include some people who say for the good of the party. You know, we do need to fund raise for donald trump, we do need to make sure we save the senate. We cant leave donald trump, we cant leave paul ryan out to dry but certainly meg whitman kind of does speak for a lot of feem here who are nervous and sometimes even a little scared about what donald trump would represent for the Republican Party. And well look for more headlines to come out of this summit. Teddy, thanks so much. And in addition to what you heard already from former governor mitt romney, hes blasting donald trump as a racist even going as far as to stay he would vote for a Third Party Candidate. Not trump, not clinton, someone else, maybe even the Third Party Candidate gary johnson who is the libertarian nominee. We have gary johnson with us here. Lets first listen to what romney said. Mexico governor gary johnson, would you consider supporting him . Im going to look at what he has to say. His running mate is snunle i respect enormously. Former governor of massachusetts. He was a fine governor and a fine friend and he was supporter of mine in 2008 and 2012. If bill weld were at the top of the ticket it would be easy for me to vote for bill weld for president and ill get to know gary johnson better and see if hes someone that i could end up voting for and thatsing . Ill evaluate over the coming weeks and months. Johnson has the most to gain in a threeway matchup. According to the latest fox news poll 12 support johnson. Clinton tops at 39 . 36 there for trump. And as we said joining us now former new mexico governor, libertarian nominee for president , gary johnson. Mr. Johnson, good morning to you. Victor, great to be with you this morning. So, romney is still on the tensi fence but considering voting for you. I wonder what is the strategy to win not just his vote but the votes of his allies with him in park city but those nevertrump voters. Whats the strategy . Put some meat on the bones for us. Well, i think that mitt romney hit it on the headad, he said, hey, im going to check out gary johnson and what hes got to say. I think that that kind of scrutiny holds up under the light of day. And myself and bill weld, we would not be doing this if there werent the opportunity to actually win the presidency, but to do that weve got to be in the president ial debates. And, hey, you pointed out a poll yesterday at or a couple days ago at 12 . Well, i do think that the number the polling numbers are going up because there is that kind of scrutiny happening right now. And two former republican governors serving in heavily democrat states, whats the formula there . Well, fiscally conservative over the top and socially, look, were tolerant and we care and people should be able to make their own choices in their own lives. What you are describing is a passive strategy for earning their votes. You are waiting for them to find you. You are waiting for them to scrutinize others. You are waiting for them to put you in. What are you proactively doing . And do you have the resources to compete . What will you be doing to go out and get those votes . Well, resources are a big key. So, i think the next reporting period is actually at the end of this month. We have to show that we are serious. That we are raising some money. And just continue to plug away. Among independents im actually leading Hillary Clinton. All these so i wouldnt call what were doing at all passive. You know, were very aggressively trying to get out and get attention. For the most part attention is sucked out of the room by clinton and trump. In a discussion of fundraising when i interviewed you and governor former governor weld just a couple weeks ago, we noted that you had at the last filing period about 15,000 on hand. I mean, frankly thats not enough to buy you a good used car. But governor weld said that you need 20 million to 30 million to really get into the conversation. And for people to take you seriously. Hows that progress . Are you raising the bigdollar donations that you would need to get to this 20 million to 30 million threshold that governor weld set . Well, victor, it is a process, first you got to engage in the dialogue and the dialogue is actually occurring. There has to be interest. That interest is there. Has that 20 million to 30 millionpiretranspired, meaning, have checks been written . Not at this point, but its a process and it looks pretty bright. To address your earlier number about having 15 grand in the bank or whatever, its pretty darn remarkable to be at this level in the polls for the amount of money that we have spent. So, we are taking advantage of social media. Of course, earned media. And i think it speaks volumes to what we might do in office, that being really fiscally conservative, that being, you know, very, very frugal with money spent. All right. Former new mexico governor and Libertarian Party nominee for party gary johnson. Good to talk with you again. Victor, always. Thank you. Sure. Well, students and many others are outraged over the lenient sentence handed down to brock turner after he was convicted of sexually assaulting a woman behind a trash bin. He may only serve three months of a sixmonth sentence and now theyre planning a demonstration in the middle of graduation. You dont let anything keep you sidelined. Thats why you drink ensure.

I have to believe that this has been a topic of conversation for you because it has been for so many, the outrage that is growing following a judges lenient sentence of a former Stanford University student who sexually assaulted a woman behind a trash bin. Brock turner is who we are talking about, sentenced to only six months and on top of that he could serve only three. Now stanford students are planning a demonstration during graduation tomorrow. Can you imagine . They plan to carry signs and wear decorated caps to show their support for turners victim. Madeline mcdonald is with us now. Shes a rape survivor, a student, madeline, thank you so much for taking the time to be with us. We really appreciate it. I know its a sensitive subject. We appreciate your voice in this. People at stanford and across the country, as youve noticed, theyve been showing their solidarity for this victim. Help us understand how that affects a rape survivor. So, first off i just want to clarify. Im not a rape survivor. My situation was Sexual Assault. Thatsing . I just want to make sure is clear. I appreciate that. Thank you for the clarification. But how that support affects v victims, its really powerful to know that youre believed and to know that your story matters to feem. One of the most damaging aftereffects of Sexual Assault or rape is that selfdoubt and thats a really universal thing that happens to a lot of survivors, so having that reinforcement, knowing that people stand with you is very, very powerful. Did you feel that doubt yourself . Did you doubt what happened . Did you doubt how some people try to blame the victim . Did you have any of those feelings yourself . Yeah. In my situation i faced a lot of doubt, both internally and from external sources. Its really hard. In our society theres a lot of victim blaming that just goes on. A lot of peoples reactions to hearing that youre a Sexual Assault or rape survivor is what were you wearing, were you asking for it. And when you hear that for long enough, you start to internalize it and you start to think, well, i thought i was dressed fine but maybe its my fault. And, you know, it takes a lot to be able to bring that back and realize that Sexual Assault is Sexual Assault and that you didnt do anything to ask for it. So, selfdoubt is a very big part of the Sexual Assault survivor experience. And knowing that and hearing the letter that this victim wrote and read in the courtroom to brock turner, what was your reaction to how open and honest and blatant she was, how raw she was, about her feelings and what had happened . I think it was incredibly powerful. And it was really great to see her being so raw and open and honest. The one thing that i do want to clarify there, though, is i hope that this doesnt lead to a more universal expectation of all victims to share that many details. In her situation, she shared a lot of information. And its so powerful to hear that from her perspective and that it empowered her to share those experiences. But, you know, theres a lot of people that dont feel comfortable sharing that many details about their you know, their assaults, their rapes, their court and criminal cases. And theyre just as deserving of sympathy and belief. You know, cnn obtained these Court Documents that show turners history of aggressive behavior as well as drug and alcohol abuse. And in these documents its revealed that he targeted his victims sister first. Are there signs, are there patterns that you think Society Needs to be more cognizant of in order to prevent these types of attacks . So, in some cases there are warning signs. There are things, like, as youre saying previous targeting behaviors, histories of violence. But in a lot of cases, rapists and, you know, people that commit Sexual Assaults, those people are often your friends, your boyfriends, people that you study with and you have classes with. Its really hard to say, oh, look, theres this one type of person and if they fit x, y, and z, then stay away from them yeah. More than im sorry, i wanted to ask you real quickly before we run out of time when we talk about the more than a Million People who signed the petition to recall the judge after he said the prison would have, quote, a severe impact on turner.

Yeah, well, i can say hey, siri, do something but, you know you didnt have the real answer . I just trust it. I trust it. You probably know siri, of course, apples digital assistant. Amazon, google, they all make assistants too. Which is the smartest. Cnns samuel burke put them head to head. Okay, google. Okay, google. Like in a relationship, sometimes, they just dont want to listen to you. Tech companies are pouring billions of dollars into a. I. , artificial intelligence, especially virtual assistants. And theyre getting smarter all the time so we have a battle of the talking robots. Lets start with the basics. Hey, corcortana, whats the wear like today . Its currently 85 and mostly sunny.

You can listen to it on spotify, amazon prime music, any service you want. But if you ask sir rick, shell only play it on apple music. Cortana, only Windows Media player. Siri and cortana have limitat n limitations like this. It may change at the apple conference when they expect them to open it up. Alexa seems to be the most useful and understand the most questions. Her big disadvantage. Shes stuck at home. Asking her things like driving directions are pointless until she can fit in your pocket. Alexa, say goodbye. Goodbye.
