united states. around the world, this is "new day." it is thursday. it's august 22nd, 6:00 here in new york. we begin with something you probably never thought you'd hear the president of the united states say. >> i am the chosen one. >> yes. that was the president declaring himself the chosen one for his effort to take on china on trade. now, that was right after he basked in the praise of a right wing conspiracy theorist who calls him the king of israel. president trump also, again, questioned the loyalty of american jews repeating the same anti-semitic trope. but wait there's more. >> he also flatout contradicted comments he made the day before on taxes and guns. so to what do we owe this leadership cocktail of confusing and contradictory? "the new york times" reporting this morning, some former trump administration officials in

recent days said they were increasingly worried about the president's behavior suggesting it semis from rising pressure on mr. trump as the economy seems more worrisome and next year's election approaches. and there are new troubling signs for the u.s. economy this morning. the labor department reports there were half a million jobs fewer than previously reported. there was another yield curve inversion fueling recession fears and the budget deficit is on path to surpass $1 trillion. there is a lot going on this morning. let's begin our coverage with joe johns who is live at the white house. joe? >> well, john, you're right. congress is still on its long august recess, but as you can see, the president is keeping very busy at that media availability out here at the white house just yesterday. he talk eed about a lot of thin. some of the things he said were contradictory and confuses. but when he got to that fund

raiser in kentucky, two sources told us he didn't talk about guns at all. president trump seizing the spotlight sending mixed messages and contradicting himself on issues like gun legislation. >> i have an appetite for background checks. we'll be doing background checks. >> reporter: yet he had a long conversation with nra leadership the day before and is standing by gun lobbyists. >> the gun doesn't pull the trigger. the person does. and we have great mental illness. >> reporter: the president also stoking outrage by repeating a anti-semitic trope. claiming this about previous criticism. >> it's only anti-semitic in your head. >> reporter: president trump also tweeting out a comment from a conservative conspiracy theorist writing, thank you to wayne allen root for the nice words. president trump is the greatest president for jews and histoin

history of the world. like he's the king of israel. they love him like he's the second coming of god. the president even going as far as using biblical terms to describe himself. >> i am the chosen one. somebody had to do it, so i'm taking on china. i'm taking on china on trade. and you know what? we're winning. >> reporter: and taking aim once again at his predecessor. >> so russia outsmarted president obama. president obama and others brought the families apart. but i'm the one that kept the families together. >> reporter: but that's just not true. separations were rare under the obama administration. the trump administration has only intensified family separations at the border. also on immigration, the president ramped up his rhetoric on constitutionally guaranteed birthright citizenship. >> you walk over the border, have a baby, congratulations the baby is now a u.s. citizen.

we are looking at birth rierigh citizenship very closely. it's ridiculous. >> reporter: the thought of a recession? >> we have a strong economy. >> reporter: but that's not what trump said tuesday. >> payroll tax is something we think about and a lot of people would like to see that. >> reporter: and the president is using a familiar insult to attack denmark's prime minister after she dismissed his idea of buying greenland. >> i thought that the prime minister's statement that it was absurd. it was an absurd idea, it was nasty pip thought it was an inappropriate statement. all she had to do was say no, we wouldn't be interested. >> reporter: now, the danish prime minister is only the latest in a growing group of women leaders the president has referred to as nasty. that group includes hillary clinton, nancy pelosi, elizabeth warren, and kamala harris. alisyn? >> okay, joe. thank you very much for trying

to sum all of that up in two minutes. let's bring in our experts margaret talev, john avalon, and frank bruni. john, at this point, don't you think the president is just messing with people now to say i'm the chosen one? later in the day he said he wanted to award himself the medal of honor. don't you think at this point he likes to be provocative. isn't he just trying to make people's blood boil at this point? >> you know, that's one explanation. one explanation is this is all an ornate troll and the president is in control tweaking people. the other is he's becoming more unhinged. we've had countries in the world that have had mad kings before. we're not one of them. but what we're watching if you look at any of the quotes from yesterday, i'm the chosen one, retweeting somebody saying he is the messiah talking about the king of israel and the second

coming of god, saying he thought about awarding himself the medal of honor. this is unhinged behavior. you know, tom friedman was on anderson cooper last night and said if this was the president of any company, the board of directors would have him removed. this is not tightly wrapped behavior. it's troubling behavior. it seems to indicate that he is untethering with reality more and more. >> you don't think to him, this is just a big show? >> the sketch where he's in control but playing the old d doddy dude in reality. >> he comes off as erratic and the impact is essentially the same. >> i agree with you. >> me, not alisyn. >> i always agree with both of you. i'm going to add the two of you together. >> way to thread the needle. >> remember the presidency does strange things to people with

normal psychologies. you're under a microscope, all these people inflating your ego. you have enormous pressure on you. so if you go into the presidency with a normal psychology, it can do strange things to you. if you go into the presidency as donald trump, the end point is not pretty. >> you can't divorce this from the timing context of it which is in a couple days the president is going to be back in france at the g7 that every year tries to figure out whether it's like nato of g7 meeting, how to have the upper hand, how to walk in with the narrative, how to set the stage on his terms. very often by shocking sensibilities of european leaders he's going to be with. you can argue the merits of this, is this a good strategy? what is the end goal of the strategy? he does it every time and he's doing it again. this is also taking us away from the conversation about what's actually happening with the

economy. >> i want to make clear. the idea that maybe he's just trolling us, i really do think that's a problematic theory to put out with all of this right now. because if you look at what happened just yesterday, contradicting himself on not minor issues that aren't minor to americans. we're talking about taxes and gun policy, policy against gun violence. he is confusing everybody about where he stands on that. >> i'm not saying it doesn't have an unsettling effect. don't get me wrong. >> but wait, there's more. just being a little anti. semitic for the second day in a row and making crystal clear that's where you stand on something, that's not trolling anybody. that's just being anti-semitic. so when you look tat this, the net effect of all of it i think muddles things including the markets. >> oh, please. absolutely. there's a difference between his motivation and what's causing it and the net effect. and the net effect is something that we are all living with. and including the markets. let me just put up with one second. there are all these troubling

signs for the economy that he's not talking about, he's saying nothing to see here. so the labor department released -- had to revise downward the biggest revision downward in a decade i think. maybe more. by half a million jobs. another yield curve inversion which people say is the flashing red warning sign of a coming recession. budget deficit is about to surpass $1 trillion. then we'll get to guns in a second. >> yeah, look. this is the point that beneath all the unhinged rhetoric, there are a lot of real hard data things going south. again, i don't think you need to choose. this is not an ornate attempt to move us into negotiations. this is a pattern of statements made in one day. one of which would dominate any news cycle. he called himself the chosen one and mused about whether he could award himself the medal of honor. this is stuff out of a dark

satire. everyone who is supporting him is going to own it going forward. imagine a democratic president saying any one of those things once, weeks of concerned trolling coverage on a competing network. >> let's be positive. we could thank him for the humility. he used to talk about getting the nobel. maybe he's coming back down to reality. >> those numbers are a problem on a couple of levels, right? because they exist to the situation with low unemployment figures, right? if the interest rates change, unemployment figures change, that escalates the problem a lot of these are kind of a peak under the rug at some of the longer term consequences of the policies that have juiced the economy up until now. >> all of this dark humor to your point is i think masking or

competing with something really dark happening. and that is this spate of mass shootings we've had, and a spate of foiled mass shootings. in the past week, police have been working overtime, thank god, around the country and have stopped all of these young men who want to do mass shootings. because it turns out that it is contagious. there are copycats. you see this and it feels like the answer. and there's this spike in white supremacy. all of this is leading to an unsettled feeling among people who are normally sane and people who are unhinged. >> you have the united states acting as comforter in chief and using the moral authority of the office to ground the conversation. not only are they shooting rhetoric the president has used. but yesterday he flip-flopped from i'm losing track on background checks. that's substantive. that's policy.

maybe he doesn't remember, maybe he doesn't care. but that's a real problem in the face of a rising body count. >> and again, as comforter in chief, one of the things he's supposed to do is help soothe, i think, the frayed nerve and hurt in these places. i want you to listen to how he talked about his visit yesterday to the hospitals in dayton and ohio. >> when i went to el paso and i went into those hospitals, me as a representative of the country but for me and my love for them was these people are unparalleled. not only did they meet with me, they were pouring out of the rooms. the doctors were coming out of the operating rooms. >> me, me, me, me, me. >> this is the thing he's most consistent on. when he was in el paso, they talked to him about how great

his crowds had been previously and how bad beto's were. >> and i just want to add that in all of these examples. look, i'm not going into the mental state. i don't even think you have to touch that to talk about the impact of the erratic behavior here. and you start to look and i don't want to put too much weight in anthony scaramucci, in bill walsh, in bill weld, in mark sanford, but there are republicans now coming forward saying this behavior is enough for us to step back. you were grimacing saying no. >> i'm just grimacing because i think anthony scaramucci will say whatever gets him air time. but yes. let's go back to the denmark greenland thing. we are the laughing stock of the world. we used to be the light of the world. we don't behave as a serious nation under him. >> i think what european leaders

have sought so far to separate their long-term oppressions of the united states from their kind of impressions of dealing with this president. and the upcoming election has always been a pivot point for many of those european countries. kind of like, okay, we'll give you these four years but if we give you eight, we'll have to reconsider. >> we even heard boris johnson ysterday kind of trying to find that safe distance between himself and president trump when it comes to do you let russia back in. >> when boris johnson says things are getting nutty, you really have to take a moment to consider that. >> there you go. >> okay. on that note. breaking overnight, 2020 sprawling democratic field just got a bit smaller. jay inslee has dropped out of the presidential race. he had not yet qualified for september's debate. he did make confront climate change the center piece of his campaign. a source now says he's set to

announce today that he will seek a third term as governor of washington. all right. president obama has not been in office for two and a half years as you might know. but president trump doesn't always think about that timeline. he talks a lot about president obama. so there's more of what he said yesterday. we'll discuss. here's the story of green mountain coffee roasters costa rica paraíso. meet sergio. and his daughter, maria. sergio's coffee tastes spectacular. because costa rica is spectacular. so we support farmers who use natural compost. to help keep the soil healthy. and the coffee delicious. for future generations. all for a smoother tasting cup. green mountain coffee roasters.

all right. we're still trying to digest everything president trump said yesterday. so much of it was contradictory and confusing. but there was one thing that he was crystal clear on. that just about everything that he thinks has gone wrong, even things -- >> in his best three and a half years. >> it's all barack obama's fault. listen. >> so russia outsmarted president obama. it was president obama who built those cages. so he had separation. i'm the one that brought them together. i'm not looking at a tax cut now. we have a strong economy. certainly a payroll tax cut. president obama did that in order to artificially jack up the economy. president trump had zero interest rates. i don't have zero interest rates. i have real interest rates. >> a ton of that just not true. >> you can't just say something and hope everybody forgets and hope the videotape doesn't

exist. we remember child separation. it happened recently. we can't just wish it away. >> back now with us, our panel. but to the larger point here which is this obsession with somebody who hasn't made a decision from the oval office in two and a half years, it gives you a window. >> well, sure. but also, in trump's defense although that's a weird phrase, every president is very conscious of his predecessor because that's the obvious and near yardstick. i think we're going to hear more and more from trump about obama this, obama that as 2020 approaches. because president trump is worried above all he will be mortified by not getting a second term. and what did his predecessor do? got two terms. i think the specter of obama hangs over him more heavily than ever. >> there's something visible -- visceral -- >> they're both right. >> -- for president trump about

the obama legacy. i think president trump does feel that president obama is trolling him from beyond the presidency even though president obama a largely sort of stayed out of it. >> so many of president obama's supporters wish he were more vocal. >> that's true. president trump if you go back to 2017 has almost systematically gone through to countercheck every major policy initiative that president obama tried to roll out. like, president trump thinks about president obama a lot. like, a lot, like all the time. but also if former vice president biden would run, president trump would like to find people to blame and attach the seeds of it to the obama administration. so there are strategic reasons. there's also just an emotional -- >> let's root this in reality. while the president doesn't want to say look at what you see, listen to what i say, the

obsession with obama 20 times in yesterday's presser doesn't fit the facts. we are in the longest economic expansion in our history. three quarters of which started under president obama. one quarter of which donald trump has accelerated. great. you want to talk about crimea? did that happen under the administration? yes. but it's president trump who wants to reverse those sanctions and the punitive measures taken after the invasion of crimea. the family separations. i'm the one who separated them. what kind of bizarre world -- he's the one that separated them as a matter of policy. we know that to be true. so all these things are not rooted in reality. and yet he keeps beating that drum. and so, unfortunately, it's our job again to say stop it, mr. president. >> did a great fact check on yesterday's live show at the departure. and totally worth reading.

like, i think it's either 7 or 11 things that, you know -- >> eleven. >> but it's a politically convenient drum. you made the great point if he runs against joe biden he's going to run against the obama legacy. starting to tarnish that now is like getting work done ahead of time. but it's also politically convenient because his base hated president obama. >> can i ask one last point of what we've been talking about overall? do you think that the pressure of the economy and the pressure of all of this is weighing on him? >> 100%. because how many times in these first two and a half years has he taken credit for the economy? and how can you impeach someone who's presiding over this economy? the economy is not looking so great and i think unhinged or not, he understands that his election hinges more on what the economy looks like in the six months before november 2020 than any other factor. >> let's talk about 2020.

the democratic field has gotten just a little bit smaller this morning. washington state governor jay inslee is out. his single issue, his main issue was climate change. somebody else will have to pick up that mantel. >> those are bad signs for the democratic field. i think it's understandable to want to kind of cull the herd because 24 is a lot. but they keep losing governors and i think that's actually a bad thing for the national debate at this stage. >> but these governors, you know, 2% -- in what other universe is 2% a huge success? they're not even at 1%. if they were at 2% in the polls, they would be in the debate. >> i understand. but the percentage number becomes a higher hurdle. it sounds like the lowest thing in the world. but it takes a little bit of time to get traction in this cycle unless you come in as a star. and we got a lot of folks who

are senators that have been in the public eye for a long time. we tend to ignore western governors, unfortunately. >> im a just going to disagree with your police work there. pete buttigieg wasn't a star. he came in with a name no one could pronounce. >> but his youth, sexual orientation and all of that. governors are the people we credit with doing things, with administering things. we live in a celebrity climate where if you're a senator during a committee hearing or a governor of a small indiana hearing but you have a great personal story and distinguishing characteristics, that matters more in a field this big in a celebrity culture. >> well said. let's move onto another candidate. new york city mayor bill de blasio who had this event, via live stream or satellite, whatever. in iowa yesterday. and apparently i don't know if he inhaled some helium before this event or what.

but here is the moment of his live stream event. >> i want to thank you for the fight every day. two weeks paid vacation every year. that's the kind of thing that chang transforms people's lives. >> that was a technical glitch. the audio guy apologized to the mayor afterwards. the mayor did not know he was coming across as alvin the chipmunk. >> it's even better when it's totally straight faced. sometimes you take your opportunity. right? you're trying to break through, get on the air. here's your moment. good time to talk about climate change. >> but really, it's funny because such a tall man and such a small voice. >> all right. we'll work on it. thank you, all, very much. okay. now to this. there's an intense manhunt underway at this hour for a

we do have breaking news. a huge manhunt in california for a possible sniper suspected of shooting a sheriff's deputy in the city of lancaster. authorities say the bullet came from a four story building across the street from the sheriff's station. the deputy was wearing a bulletproof vest which officials say saved his life. authorities scoured that four-story building in their hunt for the suspect. they say he is no longer there. and this morning we are learning new details of yet another potential mass shooting that has been thwarted by police. this one is in long beach, california. police say the suspect amassed a collection of, again, high powered and high capacity weapons and was preparing to

take aim at the hotel where he worked. nick watt is live in los angeles with more. nick, this just gives a feeling of deja vu. >> reporter: that is right. in this case the suspect is a 37-year-old cook who worked at the marriott hotel near the airport. on monday afternoon he told a fellow employee that he was planning to shoot up the place to open fire on fellow employees and anybody he saw coming into the building. the long beach police tell us that this was related to a workplace incident. he was upset with hr for some reason that we're not quite sure of yet. take a listen to what else the long beach police chief had to say. >> suspect montoya had clear plans, intent, and the means to carry out an act of violence that may have resulted in a mass casualty incident.

>> reporter: so the day after that fellow employee told authorities about this plan, the suspect was arrested at his home just a little bit away from the hotel. and in that home police say they found a huge cache of weapons. including high powered rifles and 38 high capacity magazines that are illegal in california. also tactical gear. as the chief said, this suspect had everything he needed to carry out a mass casualty event. now, the long beach police say they'll be presenting their case to the district attorney today. john? >> please keep us posted on this. again, this is one more example of the pattern we've been seeing. thank you for your reporting on this. so a small jet bursting into flames after an aborted takeoff. how did everyone on board manage to escape alive? that story next.

all right. breaking this morning, a big political development that could

impact the balance of power in the senate. colorado's former governor and former presidential candidate john hickenlooper has announced he will challenge republican cory gardner for his seat. hickenlooper just dropped his bid for president last week and colorado is among a handful of key senate races that will determine whether republicans will contain control of the senate next year. here to break these races down for us, ron brownstein. we'll get to hickenlooper in this breaking news in the context of this story in a second. but first of all, we talk about who has more at stake here. the republicans are just defending more terrain this year, correct? >> they are. you know, the common thread that links these individual races as we talk about them is it's becoming much harder for either party to win the senate races in states that usually vote the other way for president. it is now routine for 90% of voters to say they approve of

the president in the senate race. 90% have disapproved to vote for the other parties. as you may know for the first time in american history, every senate race went the same way as the presidential race in that state. and so that is kind of a looming factor over many of these contests. there may be a few exceptions where a candidate can win if their side doesn't carry the state presidentially. i think the vast majority are going to fall the same way as the presidential election in that state. >> so ron, let's talk about four of the senate races to watch that you're keeping your eyes on. colorado, arizona, maine, and alabama. so what are you seeing? >> right. so the first three, colorado, arizona, and maine in that order are the democrats' best chances to pick up seats. especially with hickenlooper in the race. i think cory gardner is the most endangered republican incumbent in an analogy that john would appreciate, i think his chances

of re-election are about the same now as the red sox chances of repeating as world champions. very tough. trump is at 40% consistently in the state. hard to -- as is gardner. then you go down to arizona where you have martha mcsally who was appointed to fill out the john mccain seat and is trailing again in recent polling against mark kelly, the democrat, with again trump under water in his approval in the state. and then maine where susan collins has been able to establish herself traditionally as an independent brand, much harder now in this polarized era. democrats have recruited a very strong challenger, the speaker of the state house. it's going to be tougher for her to win than in the past. of course the one democratic state that is the most engaged is doug jones in alabama. trump will probably win by a big margin. unless he gets roy moore again who is in the republican primary, it's going to be tough.

>> which isn't impossible, by the way. >> which is not impossible. >> so the math there is this. if the democrats pick up three seats and the white house, give them a 50/50 split plus the vice president. they would control the senate. if they won all those three races you just talked about but lost in alabama and took the white house, they would need to win one more. which of the states could you see the possibilities in? >> that's the big question mark. democrats are feeling optimistic about their chances in those three. but alabama is very tough unless you get roy moore and he is not leading in the premare polling right now. after those three, what do democrats have? they have north carolina. they have iowa. they have texas, maybe kentucky. highly unlikely in a presidential year. then kind of the wild card in this is montana. if steve bullock joins the governor exodus from the presidential race we see with jay inslee and john hickenlooper and decides to run for senate in montana, democrats believe that

would put montana in play. in those other three states, iowa, texas, and north carolina, you do have, you know, potentially competitive races. it's hard to imagine democrats winning them if they don't also win the state presidentially. >> well, steve bullock told me when we were doing the piece with him out in montana that he's not interested in running for the senate. he says specifically that there were other people who were talented and could do it. and he was going to step aside. but your math suggests that if he entire equation hinges on monday, maybe that would change. >> if only there were a town hall meeting. if only there were a setting where you could ask steve bullock again these questions. >> i wish there were. oh, well. >> sunday night right here on cnn. >> just kidding. 6:00 p.m. east coast time. >> i was going to say real quick, it's a reasonable question to ask him what is the balance between his personal ambition and what he feels in terms of loyalty to the party and country given the stakes in

this election. how control of the senate will dramatically affect what the next president can achieve. >> slow down, ron. let me write that down. you can bet that a question like that will come up on sunday. we're really looking forward to actually that town hall meeting. >> great to have you with us. >> good to be back. thanks. there were some terrifying moments, but a lucky ending for ten people aboard a small jet in northern california. the pilot aborted takeoff causing the cessna to crash. look at this aftermath. there's this trail of thick, black smoke all over the town of oroville on wednesday. it's not yet known why the pilot aborted the takeoff, but everyone on board that plane managed to walk away without injury. how is that possible? >> whatever they did, it worked out there. that is amazing imagery right there. all right. this morning, fires rages at a record rate in the amazon forest and darkening the skies over brazil. the country space research

center says there have been close to 73,000 fires in brazil this year. more than half in the amazon region. that is more than an 80% increase compared to the same period last year. the fires could strike a devastating blow to the fight against climate change. all right. of course we all remember the viral debate over blue or white dress. remember that optical illusion or whatever that was? okay. there's a new one that has the internet buzzing. what do you see here? a bird or a bunny. john, answer me right now. >> i -- i mean, i want to keep people in suspense. >> for your answer? okay. okay. i'll leave it in suspense too. we have the answer next. costaí. meet sergio. and his daughter, maria. sergio's coffee tastes spectacular. because costa rica is spectacular. so we support farmers who use natural compost. to help keep the soil healthy. and the coffee delicious. for future generations. all for a smoother tasting cup. green mountain coffee roasters.

since my dvt blood clot i was thinking... could there be another around the corner? or could it turn out differently? i wanted to help protect myself. my doctor recommended eliquis. eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot... almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didn't experience another. ...and eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis is fda approved and has both. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care

for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. what's around the corner could be surprising. ask your doctor about eliquis.

by the way, steel. steel was dead. your business was dead. okay? i don't want to be overly crude. your business was dead. and i put a little thing called a 25% tariff on all of the dump

steel all over the country. and now your business is thriving. >> well, that was president trump touting the success of his administration's tariffs on the steel imports last week. but some steel workers in michigan may disagree with the president's claim that the industry is thriving after u.s. steel announced plans to lay off about 200 workers at one of its plants. cnn is live in michigan with more. what are they telling you, vanessa? >> reporter: good morning, alisyn. people here in the community are confused and shocked especially hearing the president talking about those tariffs. instead, u.s. steel announcing that they are temporarily laying off about 200 workers here at this factory behind me citing challenging market conditions this is very much in contrast what the president said here. he's even citing himself why the industry came back.

we spoke to one city official that he sees no evidence of that. he and another community leader are concerned that these temporary layoffs may, in fact, become permanent. >> we assume that we'd have more production and, in fact, we thought it'd have the reverse effect. there'd be more hiring taking place locally. it was a shock. and i'm hoping that things reverse quickly. >> it's a recession when your neighbor's laid off. it's a depression when you get laid off. and it hasn't changed in the past 38 or 39 years. you know, you get concerned when you hear 200 people are laid off. so it is a concern. >> reporter: that 200 number of temporary layoffs may not sound like a lot when you compare it to the couple thousand that are working here at this factory. but the concern is over this being an indicator that the industry's, in fact, in peril rather than recovering as the

president notes. and if you just look at u.s. steel stock prices this time last year, that stock was trading at about $30 a share. today it's trading at about $12 a share. that's about a 60% decline. and john, we asked u.s. steel when these temporary layoffs would be coming back online. they told us they didn't know when these jobs would be coming back. john? >> it's the uncertainty. the uncertainty that is out there is part of this environment now and the president's trade policy is part of that. vanessa yurkevich, thank you for talking to people about this. okay. so this might be the most hotly contested question of the morning. take a look at this. all right. you see that there? is that a bird or is it a bunny rabbit? all right. this optical illusion has the internet on fire. i mean, on fire. a scientist in norway first

shared the video and it went viral. a bird or bunny. you can see it being, you know, stroked there. you don't pet a bird. so what do you think it is? >> well, bunny doesn't have a beak. okay? so i'm going with bird. because that thing has a beak. >> so i was trying to create suspense. because i'm with you. but i think it's a bird too. bunny doesn't have a beak and you can see the beak. so the internet's wasting its time. >> our ep thinks those are ears. okay, no. ears don't do that. ears don't eat corn like that. so it turns out it's a bunny with wings eating corn. no, no. it's a bird. it's an african white necked raven named mischief. >> i can see why. >> he's 18 years old which means he can drive and vote. but not yet drink. and he lives in missouri. >> you might visit there. >> i like hawks and eagles. >> i thought you liked all

birds. >> not these. >> not bunny birds. that's where you draw the line. >> this one says stuff. listen to this. >> hi. hi. hi. hi. hi. hi. hi. >> that's much more alarming or concerning or revelatory rather than if it's a bunny. >> i agree. it's a talking bunny. >> okay. >> okay. sorry we've ruined the fun for everybody. >> i think the internet was dumb on this one. it was so clearly a bird. >> yeah. and my dress is white today. >> unless they have internet without pictures. up next, a major concession from the u.s. tennis association after last year's clash between serena williams. we'll let you know what they decided. that's next. sleep number 360 smart bed. you can adjust your comfort on both sides - your sleep number setting. can it help us fall asleep faster? yes, by gently warming your feet. but can it help keep us asleep? absolutely, it intelligently senses your

all right. something else to worry about this morning. major league baseball has warned its players that over the counter sex supplements could contain banned ingredients that would result in a failed ped test. >> according to espn, two players facing suspension is claiming the substances they took came from on every the counter sex supplement. referring to an internal memo sent to clubs and obtained by espn. it states in part these products are often contaminated with unsafe ingredients. and a quoting from unnamed sources, the use of over the counter pills commonly found at convenience stores that advertise improved sexual performance is prevalent among baseball players. the umpire who clashed

serena williams last year will not chair any matches with either of the williams sisters. he gave her a point penalty for breaking her racket then a game penalty for verbal abuse when she called him a thief. serena pleaded the treatment was unfair. osaka went on to win that match. play begins on monday. we were both at that final. doubt the drama happens again this year. >> i will never forget it. what a night that was. andy, thank you so much. all right. we're following a lot of news, needless to say. "new day" continues right now. >> russia outsmarted president obama. obama was upset. >> a president needs enemies in order to make the case about himself. >> this is a trade war that should have taken place a long time ago. somebody had to do it. i am the chosen one. >> he's never going to change.
