interesting. over the past ten years they've not had a single prosecution. if fact that people are trying to sell their organs doesn't mean it's happening. the organ transplants happen in third countries, so it's hard to track. there was a huge bust in israel where an organ trafficker were arrested and they were running a ring that stretched across the world. they were luring people from poor countries and bringing them for operations in europe. >> it's the beginning of this trend in europe. to think someone would sell their on kidney to put food on the table, desperate times. thank you. hour two. i'm brooke baldwin. we are about to hear from president obama who is on the ground in colorado for this

firsthand look at the damage by the wildfires. the fire in colorado springs is the worst in the state's history consuming nearly 350 homes. now we have learned one person has been killed, another person is missing. this fire is not even close to being contained. eight c-130 planes will be joining the fight. it's been four years since all eight of them aircraft were called into action. i want to go straight to jim spellman in colorado springs. talk to me about what you've seen today. we have talked to someone that has lost everything. it's horrendous. >> reporter: it really is. they made a lot of progress. only 15% contained. this is the third good day in a row where they have been able to get in there and make progress against the fire. it's also allowed them to do assessments through the neighborhoods and figure out

which homes have been lost. that's what led to the search that discovered the deceased person yesterday and they will still look for the missing person associated with that same address. last night people in the affected area were invited to come out. tomorrow some of these people will g able to go in just on a bus. they're not going to be able to get out of the bus. i spoke to a woman today. four of her grand children, she takes care of because their mother and father died separately about year and a half ago and now her home has been destroyed. this grandmother taking care of four grand kids. they have to rebuild from scratch. every person shows so much strength.

it's going to be a long time before the people are able to feel like they are part of the community again. >> i'm going to talk to one of these people now. thank you, jim. 346 is the number we have in terms of homes consumed by the fire. more than 30,000 people evacuated. when you think of the numbers, it's mind boggling. when you hear the stories, that's another issue. francine had to escape the flames. how did you get the news that your home was gone? >> i got on the internet. >> you saw it on the internet. what did you see. what was your first reaction? >> can you hear me? >> i can hear you. >> you were saying you found out you lost your home. you lost your home. you found out on the internet.

how did you find out? what was your first reaction? did you believe it? >> caller: we were just standing around looking at pictures. a lot of helicopters were going over and taking pictures. my sister found a picture and said that's you're house. the house next door is up. the whole block except two houses. sdm you got a note saying condolences on your home. let's put up the video. you sent in a video taken by your son of the evacuation.

what was that like? >> we were watching streaming video because we had already evacuated. it's probably ten minutes between the time i talked to and the police were in front of the house telling me to run. >> they were telling you to get out. >> caller: we had been on stand by and then not stand by, and then stand by for evacuation. they said they just changed it to evacuate. >> looking at the pictures, i can't imagine your son being so close to this. did you get chance to grab the family photos and precious life possessions before you had to

evacuate? >> caller: we left early so we had more time. >> you were prepared? >> caller: we were. we had taken all our papers and jewelry and put them in the bank. we didn't have to grab that. we just took clothes. took them up to my sisters house. >> now what? i know this was your dream home. do you stay? do you rebuild? do you say enough is enough, i'm leaving colorado? >> caller: i don't know. we're going down tonight to stay with friends. i think i'll get to see it.

it i don't know. i don't know where my heart will be when we get finished. >> our hearts absolutely go out to you. if you can, just final question. what do you want? for us we're looking at pictures on a tv screen. for you you're living this. what do you want the rest of the country to know about your community, what you're going through, your spirit? >> caller: well, it was a terrific community. i know people from all over the neighborhood. we did events.

people walk a lot in the neighborhood because it's so beautiful and get to know each other. a lot of us are communicating through e-mail and texting right now to try to hold everybody up. they say i know that house. i know exactly who this is. >> very sad. i thank you for taking the five minutes out of yourp day to call us up and explain what this is like for you. we thank you. our thoughts and prayers to you and everyone else in this colorado springs. thank you. the president is there declaring this a disaster area. we're awaiting the president's remarks. also in this final hour of trading, the dow on a tear.

the president was in the midst of this group of people. this is the fire station in colorado springs. he's there to tour and take a look with his own eyes the devastation and destruction from multiple fires that have been burning. i want to bring in dan who is somewhere nearby. we thought the president would give some sort of live statement. i see a podium. is that still happening or not the case anymore? >> reporter: we were just told that the live statement has been

cancelled because earlier the president was taking a tour of the mountain shadows neighborhood, which is here in colorado springs and at that point someone asked him a question and he decided to start making some statements there. these sort of more formal statements have been cancelled. during this tour the president had a chance to see some of the devastation up close. he remarked how it was amazing you had a number of homes that were wiped out. right next to them you have homes that are still standing. the president met with some of the firefighters who were there. he thanked them for their hard work and said because of what they had done, countless lives had been saved. this is a chance for the president to come here and tell the people of colorado that yes, you're dealing with a difficult situation, but the federal government will provide all the help that they need. the military will be sending

c-130 aircraft here. >> many of these pictures coming from our reporters. just quickly to give our viewers, just stand by with me. check that. here is the president. take a listen. >> we had a chance to tour some of the area hit by this devastating fire. i think what you see here is an example of outstanding coordination and cooperation between federal, state and local agencies. we have been putting everything we have in trying to deal with

one of worst fires we've seen in colorado. it's still early in the fire season and we still got a lot more work to do. because of the outstanding work that's been done, because of not only the coordination but also some unprecedented arrangements that have been made with military resources combined with the civil resources, we're starting to see progress. obviously, as you saw, the devastation is enormous. our thoughts and prayers go out to the families that have been affected. one of the things i've tried to emphasize is whether it's fires in colorado or flooding in the northern parts of florida, when natural disaster like this hit, america comes together. we've got to make sure we have each ot backs. thatpir s is what you' seeing in terms of volunteers,

in terms of firefighters, in terms of government officials. everybody is putting together the try to deal with the situation. we're not completely out of the woods yet. they will need help from mother nature in order to fully expi extinguish the fires. i know the mayor and governor and other local officials are already in those conversations. it means that hopely some long-term pllong long-term planning occurs. last point i want to make and that is that we can provide all

the resources. we can make sure that they are well coordinated. as i just told the firefighters what we can do is to provide them with the courage and the determination and the professionalism, the heart that they show when they're out there battling these fires. we had had a chance to see guys that saved three homes in a commity that's been devastated. for those families the work and the sacrifice means the world to them. we want to say thank you to all the folks who have been involved in this. we're proud of you. we appreciate what you do each and every day. for folks all around the country, i hope you are reminded of how important our fire departments are, our forest service is. sometimes they don't get the credit that they deserve until your house is burning down or your community is being

threatened. they're putting their lives at risk to save us and help us. we have to make sure we remember that 365 days a year and not just when tragedies like this strike. thank you very much, everybody. >> there he was the president reiterating the thoughts and prayers out to these folks. let's go back to dan because, i guess we thought the president wasn't going to speak and he did so, surprise. >> reporter: that's right. we have a pool producer who is there coordinating what the president is, coverage of the president and getting information from the white house. the white house had initially planned for this live statement but when the president wads

touring this neighborhood talking to firefighters the, he was asked a question by a reporter and he began this impromptu statement. after that the white house alerted the pool that there would be no live statement. as you see there, they made last minute changes. the bottom line, the president promising the federal goth's full support to this state has been impacted by these fires not only here in colorado springs but in the northern part of the state. more than 600 homes have been destroyed, two people killed. >> the president speaking there at a fire station. dan, thank you so much for that. forget the politics. forget the legal details. many are asking what the health

we have gotten some news just in when it comes to our attorney general eric holder. there's been some news here. let's go to joe johns in washington. what's happening here? with they going to prosecute or not? >> this is all about the kabooki dance that happens when an official from the executive branch gets hit with a charge of contempt by the congress. typically, if the executive barrage has claimed executive privilege as have happened in this case, then the united states attorney, who is the person that gets the referral from the united states congress doesn't act on that because there's a long precedent in this letter we got going back to 1984

which says the justice department isn't going to move on a case like that. of course, sort of the operative language in this letter that came from james colt who is the deputy attorney general says consistent with this uniform position and practice the department has attorney the attorney's general response to the subpoena does not conty constitute a crime therefore the department will not bring the congressional contempt citation before the grand jury or take any other action to prosecute the attorney general. generally, there will be protests from capitol hill over that. they have already started. we have a letter from senator charles grassley of iowa who is complaining and asking the united states attorney here in washington, d.c. to go ahead and do it and act independently of the justice department.

the problem is the justice department is run by attorney general eric holder who is the guy who has been cited with contem contempt. check mate, all of this issue goes over to civil court and that is where it will be fought out. it could take get an agreement. brooke. >> so in the meantime, and i guess in civil court that's when a judge can say yes or no, the president's executive privilege can supersede that or not. what happens next? we know this house versight suoenaocum apart ted of this fast and furious operation investigation, where does that stand now? >> well, eventually a court will have to look into whether the executives claim of executive privilege is in fact proper or whether the white house, the justice department have to get together and provide documents to the united states congress that they're asking for. this clash of course could take a long time to resolve. that's why a lot of people suggest congress and the justice

department need to get together and figure out how they can redakt some documents or let somebody testify or let certain people go into a room and look at the documents they're requesting. work something out so that they can get this thing out of the courts because usually it's not good for the branch that loses. >> okay. only joe johns with that one. joe, we appreciate it. thanks for the update in that case. now to this. i imagine it's nighttime, you're at home and you're trying to sleep and you hear this.
