TAPPER: Welcome back to THE LEAD. In more national news, they allegedly shot and killed an Australian student because they were bored. Now we're learning that before that bizarre shooting, 15-year- old suspect James Edwards said on Twitter that he and his friends were, quote, "ready to take some lives" and said, quote, "90 percent of white people are nasty" and in a video, he's seen showing off a rifle. The victim was a 23-year-old baseball player living in Oklahoma. I will talk to the Australian ambassador to the United States in the 6:00 p.m. Eastern hour about these troubling new details. In the Buried Lead, the Nixon presidential library has released the last set of his White House audiotapes. We start with a dubious little gem in 1973. Here's Nixon on black people governing Jamaica. But, wait, there's more. He was also afraid Jews would cause problems with an upcoming summit in the Soviet Union.</s>PRESIDENT NIXON: It's going to be the worst thing that could happen, if they torpedo the summit, it might go down for other things.</s>TAPPER: Interesting note about that one, talking to Henry Kissinger -- who is Jewish? Believe it or not, out there someone was even slicker than Slick Willy in the White House, the presidential chef. Marty Mangiello tells "The Washington Post" he used to sneak healthy alternatives for cream and cheese into low-fat meals. He once got called out by then First Lady Hillary Clinton for serving her husband too many fatty foods. If you think it's bad for a chef to deceive a sitting president, to that I say it depends on what the meaning of is. That's it for THE LEAD. I'll be back at 6 p.m., but I turn you over to Jessica Yellin, who is filling in for Wolf Blitzer in "THE SITUATION ROOM" -- Jessica.
