Transcripts For CNNW Wolf 20150724

Horribly in this theater here. Nine people were injured. This is video taken on a cell phone right after the shooting. As you can see, people were trying to help the wounded. Police believe houser was trying to leave the scene as the crowds exited the building but turned around when he saw Law Enforcement officials arriving and eventually turned the gun on himself. Authorities are digging into the gunmans background. Theyre searching for clues that might provide a motive. They say they owe it to the victims to answer as many questions as they can. Everything i see of the men of women that make up the Lafayette Police department is trying to find a motive trying to find something that says why do you walk in that theater. Why did he fire at least 13 times . Why did he leave his car outside with the keys on top of the tire . Why was he living in a motel 8 . Why did he have wigs in there and glasses and all those types of things . Thats what the dna scientists are doing inside that theater right now. One of our cnn washington producers wes brewer knew the gunman John Russell Houser in fact. You lived right down the street from this gunman. This must have been such a jolt to you. Thats right, wolf. It was alarming to realize that it was a person that lived just about ten houses down from me in my hometown of columbus, georgia, i grew up with his daughter knew the family fairly well, the daughter was the same age as myself and we see him at School Functions, things like this. People around the neighborhood at the grocery store, it was a seemingly normal family on the surface in terms of what you could tell about the father. Did you have any indication at all there were mental problems or things along that line . There may have been indications early on. He was a very politically charged guy, very involved with local politics ran for local elections. At one point was even in trouble with the law for tampering with other opponents Campaign Signs so yeah very very political and just very involved in terms of local politics. You told me he had a Confederate Flag on his front lawn . Yes, i do remember that he did have a Confederate Flag hanging outside of the house and possibly a dont tread on me flag as well. Possibly came off as very political. When he was running for Political Office in columbus georgia, do you know what he was running for . What kind of Political Office . Im not positive. I believe it might have been tax commissioner. We know his father used to be a tax commissioner the area and was hopefully following in his fathers footsteps for that office. He supposedly went to law school. But you knew him you were telling me he sold auto parts on his front lawn . By the time i got to know his family as i was growing up his father would often sell cars in their front lawn owned a couple of bars in this area. This individual . Yes. So sort of different businesses going in between different jobs here and there and that possibly the mental issues may have played a role in keeping him from being able to hold a job down things like that. But your parents knew this family obviously a lot better than you did right . Correct. And what do your folks tell you . Everyone is shocked to hear we would see each other at School Functions and they would do house mom things together at the Elementary School and everyones just sort of shocked that the person that they knew was maybe a little bit mentally unstable and has taken off and gone and done something so violent. Thats a total shock even if he may have had some issues then go ahead and take a weapon into a Movie Theater and start shooting like that. Thats shocking. Thats correct. We never noticed any violent tendencies never thought he would actually be capable of this during the time i knew him. Clearly things had been unraveling for quite some time. Hed been estranged from the pa family for quite a long time. And i assume the family is in shock, including your friend his daughter. Sure. Hopefully theyre okay. Its a horrible horrible situation. Wes, thanks very much for sharing that. When you get more information on, that let us know. West bor wes bruer is one of our washingtonbased producers. Is that consistent with what you and your Law Enforcement authorities are hearing on the ground here . I would say so he obviously had some problems and it sounds like they go much farther back than ive heard so far. But he clearly is i dont think a normal human being can do the kind of things that happened here yesterday so you know hearing what he wassing down with his yard his i believe he lost his home about 90 days ago, had threatened suicide so we knew there was some real issues he was having. Is is there anything else you can tell us about this individual . This shooter . Why he may have decided to pick your community, that Movie Theater of all places . That is the thats the milliondollar question right now. We cant we can find no connection as of right now. The only thing ive heard so far is he had an uncle that was here many many years ago. In fact, the uncle died 35 years ago so its been a long long time. We dont see that as being any kind of connection but i think thats the piece everybody is looking for. Why lafayette . Hes been here we know of for maybe two and a half three weeks. We dont know if hes been here longer than that. We know hes been at that particular hotel for a couple weeks. Were still trying to find out if he may have been in other hotels in lafayette for a longer period of time. Not from lafayette, somebody from alabama, born in georgia and how he made his way to lafayette is very baffling to all of us. This particular theater, we know he came here two or three times in recent days. Theyve seen some evidence of that. We dont know if hes been coming here for a week two weeks, what but thats those are all the pieces of the puzzle still missing. Mayor, have you spoken to the families of those two young women who were killed . The families of other theater goers who were injured . Because clearly our heart goes out to all of them. Right. I have not talked to the families of the two deceased. I have visited with some of the wounded, the injured and, you know, the ones i talked to were felt very very fortunate to be simply injured. Do you have an update on the conditions . I understand some of them are still in serious or critical condition. Right. Right. Ive talked to some of them. All thing considered they are calling themselves lucky. How is your community of lafayetting down . Were good. Well let me put it this way. Were not so good. This is a very hurtful thing. Our hearts are breaking. Were worried about the victims and their families and, of course, this community as a whole. As you know harvard picked lafayette as the happiest city in america. I believe we will be that again in a fairly short period of time. Were a very, very familyoriented community. This whole region of the state is. Weve got strong religious ties an strong faithbased communities. I really believe well bounce back from this like most communities in america would. Its just hard to get your arms around this wrap your brain around something that is so senseless and just so tragic. What kind of a human being can just shoot an innocent person is something i dont think any of us can understand. Finally, the gun. It was a handgun, im assuming theyre investigating how this individual with a history of mental problems managed to get a hand gunn. Do you have any idea about that . Oh no no. We know there are criminals all over america. Murders happening all over with guns that are legal and illegal. How they get the guns is multiple ways. It really doesnt matter at this stage how he got it, the fact he had one and used it the way he did is the tragedy. Our hearts go out to your entire community. Thank you very much for joining us. Thank you. The moviegoers gathered to watch a summer comedy. Instead a horrible tragedy unfolded. Scared shocked, saddened. Eyewitnesss to the shooting and its after math share their own accounts of what happened. Reporter Lafayette Police has the grand 16 on lockdown. Its barricaded off and there have been multiple people transported via ambulance. We saw a lay dwi blood all over her leg. I grabbed my child and we just all ran. We heard three shots. Not very loud and we were like what was that . There was a woman on the front, she had been shot in the leg. Heard the sirens and people coming out and chaos, basically. Last night was also a heartbreaking night. I visited with family members who rushed to the emergency room hoping and praying to god that it wasnt their loved one, wasnt their child who had been shot. This is such a senseless tragic act. Why would you come here and do Something Like this . Its something we see that happened somewhere else on the national news. Hard to make sense of it isnt it . I can see the emotion in your face. Sure is. How does the happiest place in the world produce somebody so full of hate and evil to just stand up in a Movie Theater and start shooting people . What provokes snob do that . Its a sad day for the people of lafayette. Ed lavandera is the man on the scene, hes been on the scene for hours. Youve been tracking the developments. Whats the latest youre hearing, ed . Wolf, the investigators are still inside the theater as they have been since the overnight hours. One of the things thats starting to develop more quickly for investigators here in louisiana is that in the last few hours theyve put owl a call. Since they described houser as a drifter, they didnt really have a lot of leads into where he has been, what hes been doing since arriving here in lafayette and so theyre wanting to piece together as much of that investigation as possible. Investigators tell us theyre digging up more leads, local businesses that say houser had come into their stores or wherever and investigators are fanning out across the city using Surveillance Video trying to piece together anyone who conversations he might have had. Trying to get to the heart of the motive for carrying out this deadly attack, wolf. What are the eyewitnesss who were there at the movie theet whaerks are they telling you . You know the in the immediate aftermath of all of this many of these people overcome with emotion. A surreal frightening terrifying experience. Youve heard the stories of the teachers. Many of these witnesses who were directly affected we havent heard from them yet. But we do know from investigators in the interviews theyve been able to do that housers demeanor inside the theater, there was never a clue or indication this was going to happen. One investigator telling us a while ago that houser simply stood up as the previews of the movie just hended and the film was about to start, train wreck, that he stood up didnt say anything and just started shooting. So investigators getting those details from the witnesses inside that theater. One final question ed i take it at least so far they havent found a note or suicide, we know he killed himself in the Movie Theater but have they found any note or anything like that that may have explained his actions . Weve asked about that. They havent said that they found anything like that the one strong loyication strong location is that motel room where houser checked in earlier this month, thats where investigators say they found the wigs and did guises, that s investigators say they found the wigs and did guises, that ss and disguises. But if they have found anything else in that motel room any other details or writings other than what has been posted and online Political Forums that weve been reporting about throughout the morning we havent seen or heard about any other specific details like that found here in lafayette. Ed lavandera on the scene, thank you very much. Up next, were learning new information about the gunman his whereabouts leading up to the shooting last night. Plus, the two teachers whose quick actions at the theater are credited with saving lives. Stay with us. Im gonna crack like nobodys watching and eat like i skipped lunch. Why .

Xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto® has also been proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. I tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. Not this time. Not with xarelto®. Ill have another arnold palmer. Make mine a kevin nealon. Really, brian . Hey, safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more ea sily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleedin g, unusual bruising or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not tak e xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any kidney liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u. S. And that numbers growing. Like your guys scores. With xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto®.

Com we have live pictures from nay robie,e nairobi, kenya, president obama has just walked off air force one. Hes being received by a delegation of kenyan officials. The president clearly happy to be in kenya right now. Hes getting updates on what happened last night involving that deadly shooting at a louisiana Movie Theater just as he has been arriving in kenya aboard air force one. President obama expressed his deep frustration over the lack of tougher gun laws in the United States. Heres his interview with the bbc just hours before his shooting in louisiana. The one area i feel ive been most frustrate and most stymied it is the fact that the United States of america is the one advanced nation on earth in which we do not have sufficient common sense gun safety laws. Even in the face of repeated mass killings. And if you look at the number of americans killed by 9 11 its astounding. If you look at the number of americans killed by gun violence its in the tens of thousands. The president said hell keep working on the issue during his final year and a half or so in office. Police are describing the gunman as a kind of drifter who was treated for Mental Health issues years ago. John Russell Houser of alabama originally from columbus georgia, came to lafayette just weeks ago, were learning more about it. Housers family said he had a history of man i can depression and or bipolar disorder. A police order filed in 2008 we know that houser got a degree from Faulkner University he was active on political Bulletin Boards posting antigovernment antinews media messages on a web site back in 2013. In his biography on the Political Forum blog he wrote believe the u. S. Will be mad max in under five years. Adding no family is safe in the u. S. Environment. Lafayettes police chief says houser left some key evidence behind in that motel room. We found wigs and glasses and disguises basically in his room. His vehicle had a switched license tag on it. It was parked right outside an exit door of the theater. It is apparent that he was intent on shooting and then escaping. What happened is the quick Law Enforcement response forced him back into the theater. At which time he shot himself. Lets bring in tom fuentes, our cnn Law Enforcement analyst. Also joining us matthew fogg a former chief deputy u. S. Marshal. Tom, what do you make of this case because at some point the fbi might get involved. Well absolutely if it looks like domestic terrorism, if it looks like other people might have the same philosophy and may do a similar act that he just did. But this type of thinking weve seen with other individual its kind of the doomsday prepper type attitude that the u. S. Is going down the drain, the only way is to stockpile weapons and food and save yourself because everything will be terrible and maybe he wanted to get his postings out there for the world to see. If he just commits suicide in his hotel room none of that would be public. No one would know his name. Now everybody does know his name and his postings take on worldwide attention. And in the process, two young women are murdered sand a lot of others are injured . He sacrificed them. He could care less about them. Tom makes a good point. Its not unusual for someone like this who may be disoriented from a political perspective to go out there and hot just commit suicide but kill other people. Thats right. I agree with tom. It seemed like he wanted to get attention from everyone, so to go out there and kill other folks, go into a Movie Theater which we know happened in the past hes looked at it he know this is stuff, he has wigs he has stuff in his car so hes intent on either disguising himself to do this or even get away and do it again. It appears clearly he was trying to get attention and thats what he did. And the question of i spoke to the fbi director james comey this weekend and he says one of the most porn things in these kinds of case, whether its terrorism or individuals or whatever is there are people close to these potential killers who suspect some Serious Problems but for whatever reason they dont alert authorities. They dont say to the fbi or local police or whatever you know what . This individual could be a danger. Well in this case if he was estranged from his family and they havent heard his most recent rantings, lets say and if hes drifting and living in a motel and if hes not holding down a job or talking to coworkers, if somebody in that degree of isolation, there may not be something for anyone else to hear to be warned about. I agree with tom. Not only that but sometimes people say well, hes crazy, they just write him off, dont believe him. So any of these things occur, you know and hopefully through an investigation theyll find out, theyll talk to somebody and theyll say oh, he told us this, i didnt believe him. This is why the public has to be concerned because you hear someone say these crazy things and write them off. You cant anymore. He obviously needed help this guy but presumably if he was a drifter moving around originally from columbus georgia, lived in alabama, was now spending the last couple weeks or so in lafayette, louisiana, he was just moving around and maybe youre right, there is a profile of people like this that have committed heinous crimes. Right. We have somebody like this that needs Mental Health care doesnt get it we have a terrible Mental Health care system in this country. And that is able to get a gun or have a gun for a long time so we know also probably not legal for him to carry that gun in louisiana. We dont know if f he even had a concealed permit for alabama where he was from and he may not have purchased that gun legally. So individual with Mental Illness and a gun. Whats new . We see this other and over and over. And you heard the frustration in president obamas voice when he was talking about it. Hes going stay frustrated . And i think his wife one of the family members complained about him. And this guy has a law degree so hes intelligent. He has some understanding of the system so all of those ingredients, you have to follow to a situation. Matthew, thanks very much. Tom, thanks to you as well.

Were tracking now developments in the Hillary Clinton email controversy. Weve just learned that the Inspector General for the u. S. Intelligence community informed members of congress that some material emailed by then secretary of state Hillary Clinton from her private server did in fact contain classified information. Information that was classified during her time as the secretary of state. This as sources tell cnn the Justice Department has been asked to open an investigation into whether the state department mishandled sensitive secret classified information. Lets bring in our Global Affairs correspondent elise labott whos been working this story. Youve just been on the phone with officials at the state department. Update our viewers on what youre learning. Officials at the state department and in the Intelligence Community, wolf, a spokesman for the Intelligence Community, Inspector Generals office thats been working with the state department on trying to see whats in these emails by secretary clinton said in the revuthy found at least four emails in secretary clintons emails that she turned over to the state department that had classified material in them. The problem was the state department never marked it as classified so its possible that secretary clinton was working with classified information and didnt know it. So this is part of a larger issue that the Intelligence Community is working with the state department to say you need to spend take more care in terms of how you mark classified material. And these four documents that these emails that had classified information, was it at a top secret level . What level of classification was it . Were not sure. We know the spokesman said to me there was classified material. To be clear, the New York Times reported this morning and we were on a roller coaster all morning long that said that the Intelligence Community was asking for a criminal investigation. Thats not true. What the Intelligence Community is looking at are possible compromise of classified material and they said that whul they only found four there are about 30,000 emails that secretary clinton had that should be potentially hundreds of emails. They found four classified emails and only reviewed 40. So somebody made a mistake. But is it a criminal mistake that classified information was going around on a private server or a mistake . Well, that will be up to the state department to work with the Justice Department. The Justice Department will have the final say. I want to say that we reached out to the Clinton Campaign and a spokesman for secretary clintons camp nick merrill said contrary to the significant story, which has been significantly revised, the New York Times revised the story as the morning went on secretary clinton followed appropriate practices while dealing with classified materials. Any released emails deemed classified by the administration had been done so after the fact and not at the time they were transmitted. It bolster secretary clintons argument she never worked with classified material. Its possible she doesnt she didnt know. This is what the Intelligence Community is saying. That material needed to be scrubbed to see if there were more classified information in those emails. Once the inspectors general of the state department and the u. S. Intelligence community refer a matter like this to the Justice Department you dont know where its going to go and there could be grand jury investigations fbi investigations you can see a lot of state Department Officials including the former secretary of state herself being called to testify before grand juries if this thing gets going. Ive seen it over my years here in washington. You start with a referral from an agency of the u. S. Government it goes to the Justice Department, the fbi starts investigating and in the end you dont know where its going to wind up especially secret or top secret information was compromised potentially, thats a very serious crime. Right. And the Inspector General is saying right now they did not ask for a criminal inquiry. But theyve asked for an investigation. Theyve asked for an investigation which is significant. What they call this is a counterintelligence referral. Theyre basically say its possible that classified information was comp mieded and thats what they care about right now. The Intelligence Community spokesman is telling me were not looking to see were not judging whether there was criminal wrongdoing we want to safeguard the information. Look what theyre really concerned about is they dont have this server wolf. Secretary clinton held on to the server shes publicly admit shed wiped the server so maybe thats not a big problem in terms of classified information thats still lingering out there but what the Intelligence Community wants to do is scrub this to see how much classified information could have been compromised. You dont know where these investigations wind up. They may start relatively simple but they have a tendency to snow ball. Well see what happens on that front and the political fallout in the midst of this campaign could be devastating. Just ahead, last nights Movie Theater shootings could have been far worse.

Last nights shooting in a louisiana Movie Theater might have been worse had it not been for a pair of School Teachers. Louisiana governor bobby jindal hailed the actions of the two teachers one of whom leapt into action to save the life of her friends. There were two teachers there on just a summer break. Their last days of summer going to see a comedy get ready for school. One teacher jumped in front of her friend, potentially saving her life. The second teacher said that bullet was coming for her head or if her friend hadnt jumped on top of her. Both teachers were injured, the second teacher was injured in the leg. She had the presence of mind despite her injury to pull the fire alarm. Who knows how many lives she saved by doing that. She was released from the hospital. The second teacher was released from the hospital last night. Lets discuss whats going on. Joining us from new york is boris sanchez. Youve been learning more about these two teachers. Tell us a little bit more about them boris. Wolf an incredible act of heroism on the part of these two teachers before we get to that i want to tell you about what were learning about the two deceased victims. 21yearold mayci breaux and 33yearold Jillian Johnson. Were learning mayci was from franklin about an hour southeast of lafayette. She, according to her Facebook Page was a lieutenant at lsu who recently moved to lafayette. She was at the theater with her boyfriend. Officials tell us they were sitting directly in front of the shooter before he opened fire. Mayci was killed at the scene. Her boyfriend remains in the hospital right now. The other deceased victim Jillian Johnson died at the hospital. She ran a boutique in lafayette with her husband jason and her older brother. A friend says she was a lively person, a musician who played the ukulele in a local band. In all this tragedy, though heroism, those two teachers jenna mo and ali martin. Weve learned ali martin dmoef the way, as you heard gun bobby jindal say of the gunmans firearm, diving to save her friend. She was wounded in the leg. Despite that she ran over to a fire alarm, pulling it to alert officials. A friend of theirs cammie telling cnn this morning that her actions do not surprise her. They actually did exactly what were trained to do as teachers is protect one another and protect our kids in the classroom and do whatever we can to let others know somethings happening. And for ali to know exactly where that fire alarm was was a great deal. Its made me more aware when i go out in public to know where your alarms are, your security the exit doors. It makes you more aware because she did what we are taught, that their teachings went into effect. What theyre being taught as a teacher. Wolf Law Enforcement confirming to cnn that pulling that alarm likely saved lives. And we want to thank those two teachers for doing that. Boar rirksris boris, thanks very much.

This just coming into cnn, two former detainees from the u. S. Detention center at Guantanamo Bay in cuba have now been arrested in belgium. The Authorities Say the two were taken into custody during a counterterrorism operation. The raid wednesday night targeted a recruiting network for al qaeda in syria. One of the detainees is identified as a Moroccan National born if antwerp, belgium. The other, an algerian who prosecutors believe spent time in syria. Police say the two, along with three other individuals, were about to burglarize a house to raise mawn. More on this story coming in. Also this coming in. Turkey now has formally approved the use of its domestic air bases by the u. S. And other Coalition Partners for the fight against isis in syria the news comes as the country ramps up its efforts to battle the terror group. For the first time Turkish Fighting jets pounded some of those isis targets in syria. This comes a day after a turkish soldier was killed in a border clash and days after more than 30 people were killed in an isisrelated suicide terror attack in turkey. Turkey conducted a massive raid on suspected isis terrorists and rounded up nearly 300 people. Lets bring in National Security analyst peter bergen and our counterterrorism analyst fill mudd a former cia counterterrorism official. Phil, this turkey development, those of us who have covered this story this is a major, major big deal. It is. If you look around the arab world, the islamic world we had a lot of key players involved, the saudis egyptian iraqis iranians. There was one missing and that one has thrown themselves into the arena. Thats the turks. The turks had a decision to make do we want to get into this game to provoke isis on our boarder . When they started to see an increase in border clashes and a major suicide bombing this week there was a major roundup of isis players i think the turks finally said theres a risk to getting engaged but the risk is greater if we stay on the sidelines. I cant tell how much frustration there was in washington. Turkey after all, being a nato ally unlike other countries in the middle east. Turkey is a nato ally and they refused u. S. Intermission to use their air base to launch f16 air strikes against isis targets in syria. Until now. Well theyve its not the first time thebawl ing balked at something the United States wanted to do. In the war against iraq turks wouldnt use their territory for u. S. Advances so they have an independent Foreign Policy as phil has outlined. And their views have changed because of events. But ill tell you something interesting, wolf. If you look at the isis magazines for the last several months they have been saying the turks are not our friends. Dont assume turkey intelligence is going to help you. In fact dont fly through istanbul. Isis has caught on to the fact that the turks have been tamping on that through their country. Phil i want to get information about two ex detainees at the Guantanamo Bay in cuba now arrested for supposedly plotting new terrorist operations arrested in belgian. Periodically they are required to issue statics about recidivism the number of guantanamo detainees who are released and then get back into the game. The numbers are comparable to what you see in terms of Violent Crime in the United States but when we release these two people overseas 30 35 , somewhere in that range, they are going to get back into the terrorism game. Every time the government takes a step to go towards closing guantanamo theres a risk of that and were seeing that in europe today. And usually there are warnings. I would quibble a a little bit. And the two classic examples are they were both Guantanamo Bay and one of the most violent of those. So we certainly have seen it and, you know we have a recidivism rate in this country of 66 for people in the federal system. Its certainly below that. Lets not forget the leader of Isis Baghdadi was once in a prison in iraq and he was released as well. How did that work out . Not too well. Thanks, guys. Hillary clinton just addressed the controversy surrounding the classified email investigation. Were turning around what she just said and get that for you.

The email controversy from the Campaign Event in new york city the inspector for intelligence said some material emailed from Hillary Clinton from her private server contained classified information during her time as secretary of state. This is as a source tells cnn the Justice Department is opening an investigation as to whether the information was mishandled. Heres what Hillary Clinton just said. First, i want to say a word about what is in the news today and its because there have been a lot of inaccuracies as congressman cummings made clear this morning, maybe the heat is getting to everybody. We all have a responsibility to get this right. I have released 55,000 pages of emails. I have said repeatedly that i will answer questions before the house committee. We are all accountable to the American People to get the facts right. And i will do my part but im also going to stay focused on the issues particularly the big issues that really matter to american families. You know over the past few months i have had the pleasure of meeting young people all over our country. Many so there is her brief reaction to these latest developments involving the inspectors general. Coming up other political news were following, Donald Trumps controversial comments on immigration, senator john mccain among other things keep him at odds with the city he calls home new york city. Bill de blasio the mayor, says hes determined to cut the citys business ties with donald trump. Our own Carol Costello sat down with the mayor yesterday. Heres a little bit of that conversation. I dont think he represents the values of new york city. Hes from here but doesnt represent our val lous becauseues, because this is a place that believes in including every part of society. He said he loves hispanics. Obviously his comments about mexicanamericans were derogatory and inappropriate. So i would simply say hes gone far from his roots here because this is a city we would never tolerate that kind of language. Will you do business with donald trump in the future . Not if i can help it. Look i think he has set a very negative tone and thats even before what he said about senator mccain and you dont have to agree with him politically to think its outrageous and inappropriate. I think senator mccain is a war hero period. He should be respected as such. I think donald trump has invalidated himself as a public figure. We will not seek out business with him and his companies. You know well certainly look for other options. Mayor bill de blasio speaking with Carol Costello. Thats it for me. Thank you for watching. The news continues next on cnn. All right. Youre watching cnn. Im brooke baldwin. Were standing by for an update from the hospital where the victims are from the shooting in lafayette.
