>> i could delve into this for hours. i do not like getting wolf blitzer mad. >> no, nat at aot at all, but t public has a right too know, ashleigh. >> wolf blitzer has a right to broadcast. have a wonderful weekend. thank you. wolf. it's your show now. right now, the worst i've ever seen. that's how one san diego official describes the wildfires in his county. seven separate fires are still burning. but better weather today may bring some relief. we'll see. also right now, donald sterling's fighting back. he's threatening to sue the nba if the league doesn't undue his lifetime ban and the $2.5 million fine. right now in turkey, tensions are high near the site of a mine accident as fighting breaks out between police and protesters. hello, i'm whoolf blitzer
10:01 am
reporting from washington. firefighters hope weather conditions today will help them get ahead of numerous wildfires burning in and around san diego. this is how it looks from space. santa ana winds pushing smoke far out over the pacific. here's how it looks to terrified residents. twisting pillars of fire consume everything in their past. as of right now, seven major fires are still burning. including two near the camp pendleton marine base. 17 square miles of bone dry terrain have been scorched since tuesday. fire crews are waging heroic battles to save homes. thousands and thousands of people remain at risk. our ted rowlands is joining us from san more s coumorecos, rig thick of it all. the firefighters are getting help from above. >> absolutely, wolf, you see the guys on the ground here, they're doing a lot the work obviously. mop-up right now where we are because this house is
10:02 am
demolished. they're getting help from in the air. we've been seeing air drops, helicopters, fixed ring aircraft. we had an opportunity to go up in one those fixed wing aircrafts a few weeks ago during a training mission to see what it was like to fight a fire from the air. inside the cockpit, firefighter pilots prepare for takeoff. during the fire, this plane is capable of dropping up to 3,000 gallons retardant from as low as 150 feet above the flames. >> what do you actually aim at? >> when there's a fire, you know where to aim because you're talking with the guy on the ground. >> reporter: i am allowed to ride along because this is a training flight for his certification. the target just to the right of our camera crew on the ground.
10:03 am
this is one of a handful of u.s. tanker companies. planes are staged at airports throughout the western united states and can be in the air minutes after getting a call. >> it's critical to get there before it gets big. >> reporter: once they get there, the adrenaline kicks in. >> you don't even know you're breathing because you're just so hyper focused. it's very coordinated chaos when you're over a fire. >> reporter: the largest air tanker in the world is this converted dc-10 which can drop an incredible 12,000 gallons. >> right now, the fire that could call us is in west texas. >> reporter: we caught up with the plane and rick, the man who helped design it, at the interagency fire center in phoenix. isn't this too big to really get close to the fire? >> that's an excellent question. and it's a common misperception. >> reporter: he says the dc-10
10:04 am
is the ultimate firefighting aircraft because it carries four times more retardant than any other plane. the tank is mounted to the bottom of the plane it the white you see are two doors controlled from the cockpit it the area where up to 380 passengers used to sit has been completely gutted, giving the pilots greater maneuverability. >> little bit of adrenaline. but there's no room for fear. >> reporter: but there is danger. over the years, there have been several accidents including this 2002 c-130 crash in california that claimed two lives. two years a two pilots died when the p-2 tanker they were flying crashed along the utah/nevada border. >> when we lose people, it's very difficult. >> reporter: while there are some critics who believe tankers are too dangerous and too expensive, the men and women flying, maintaining and risking their lives believe their role is critical. >> it's like artillery or air in
10:05 am
the war. it isn't the only thing you need but it's a vital part of a coordinated effort. >> our ultimate goal is to put out the fire. our little piece of that pie, that's what i enjoy, knowing we helped. >> speed checks. clear to land. >> reporter: wolf, the areas south will be absolutely critical today. of the seven fires that are still burning, four of them are contained at 85% or higher, so those are pretty much out. the evacuations lifted too at camp pendleton and then this one where we are in escandido where we are, the air assault is key today. winds have died considerably. >> let's hope it stays like that and gets even better. thanks very much, ted rowlands. he's in san marcos, california. our meteorologist jennifer gray is watching the situation from the cnn severe weather center in atlanta. what's the weather outlook today and that so-called fire nado,
10:06 am
the formation of those fire nados, those have been very terrible. >> reporter: we've seen a lot of pictures of them, a lot of video. the fires are creating their own wind pattern on the surface, these little eddies, so you get that circular motion. we also have a lot of the brush and the debris that's all around these fires. that warm air rises. it creates this column. temperatures can reach hundreds of degrees and you have that spin going on. the fire is burning that vegetation. and it's releasing carbon in the air. it's combustible. it's searching for oxygen as it's rising. so that's what's creating the column and that spin. similar situation when you're dealing with these firenados, so they do look a lot like tornadoes. los angeles finally starting to see those temperatures come down in the coming days.
10:07 am
we've been running 20 and 30 degrees above normal for the past several days. now we'll finally get back into the 70s. still above normal. temperatures are coming down which is better. also getting help from that on shore breeze. that's pulling in a little more moisture. incrazying that humidity. increasing that humidity if you will over the weekend or so. want to put things in perspective. this is last year. the state of california. zero percent in exceptional drought and less than 50 in a severe drought. move over to this year. 2014. 100% of the state in severe drought and about 75% in exceptional? unreal. >> yeah, that's not good at all. jennifer, thanks very much. other news we're following, get back to the fires later in los angeles. the clippers owner donald sterling is gearing up for a major fight. a source telling cnn sterling is rejecting sanctions imposed by the nba for his racist rant.
10:08 am
stephanie elam is joining us. what are you learning? >> reporter: wolf, we've heard conflict things from donald sterling. in that interview with anderson, he said, if i spend millions, what will matter in the end, at my age? he kind of implied maybe he wouldn't fight. people i've talked to said they expected this, he would fight to keep his stake in the team and basically the argument being here, that he didn't do anything wrong. and that he didn't get due process. that's the argument we think they're going to be taking, but this just means, perhaps, wolf, that this could be a much longer fight than of course nba players and also fans were hoping for. >> we'll see where the legal battle goes. the clippers, as you know, they lost their playoff series against oklahoma city last night. they did really well. they got to the second round. were impressive. they made it to the play yous. lakers didn't. do the coach, doc rivers, any
10:09 am
players talk about the controversy involving donald sterling in the postgame news conference? >> reporter: i was at the game last night. it was a topic of discussion. whether or not they would blame their loss on this entire scandal off the court. it was interesting to listen to chris paul talk about how when he was lacing up his sneakers, that's not what he was thinking about. he wasn't thinking about donald sterling. the game that they really felt they were impacted by this secondal was the first game in oakland, the golden state warriors series. he said he felt it then. listen to what else they had to say. >> tell you the truth, we don't think about that. know what i mean? like, that's the least of our worries. we just lost the damn series. i'm sorry, but we don't care about that. >> we've gone through a lot of stuff. over the last three or four weeks. i don't think that was why we didn't win. i don't think we should use that as an excuse. we're a team in process.
10:10 am
i believe we were good enough to win this year. oklahoma city told us we were not. >> reporter: wolf, i should note how gracious the players were and talking about the loss, not wanting to take it away from the thunder, saying, yeah, it was there, it may have played a part. doc rivers saying the one thing he wish he could have done better was protect his guys because he said they were being asked to answer for this when it wasn't something that was their scandal to begin with. >> the clippers were impressive. they had a good season. they will be back. stephanie, thanks very much. when the monica lewinsky scandal broke, the former white house intern became the punch line of a lot of jokes. now one of the hosts is expressing real regret about that. we're going to tell you why. also, did the state department drop the ball on the group behind the nigeria schoolgirl kidnappings? we're going to take a closer look into the delay in labeling boko haram a terrorist group. [ brian ] in a race, it's about getting to the finish line.
10:11 am

a death sentence for a pregnant mother. now a husband in sudan is praying for his family. here's miriam ibrahim and husband in the photo. now she is prisoned, eight months pregnant. a court has sentenced her to death for refusing to recant her custom faith. her muslim family was shocked she had married a christian man. we'll continue to watch this story for you. the kidnapping of 300 girls in nigeria has put a spotlight on the terrorist group behind it. some are pointing the finger
10:15 am
directly at the then secretary state hillary clintclinton. republican congressman peter king is joining us. thank you very much for coming in. >> thank you, wolf. >> would it practically have made any difference in the u.s. a couple years earlier had formally declared boko haram a terrorist organization? would that have prevented this group from kidnapping those nearly 300 girls in. >> wolf, i believe it would have had to have helped. now, whether it would have prevented it or not, we don't know. it certainly would have been a step in the right direction. i want to make it clear, this isn't just me or republicans saying this. within the administration, the call to the justice department was pushing as far back as 2012. the head of the counterterrorism unit to have boko haram labeled a foreign terrorist organization. the cia wanted it, the fbi wanted it.
10:16 am
but for waver reashatever reaso state department decided not to. i've heard a number of the reasons they've given. i don't think in the post-9/11 world those reasons have much credibility. >> i know the assistant secretary of state for african affairs was opposed at the time to giving -- making this designation, boko haram, a terrorist organization. do you have evidence, though, that it went all the way up to the secretary of state, hillary clinton? >> no, i would just assume a matter of this importance would go to the secretary of state. i think she was the secretary of state during this period, so if she gets credit for what went right, i would say what went wrong. i'm not making accusations against her. i'm just saying in her time as secretary of state, and carson was the assistant secretary
10:17 am
state, he was against the designation as a terrorist organization, i think that was a mistake. the fact that john kerry became the secretary of state in november of -- i guess november of 2013, he did designate boko haram as a foreign terrorist organization. also it points out, mr. carson was gone from the state department by that time. >> and so obviously when you look back and i've read the letters that you and others including democrats wrote to the state department, i read the letter that lisa monica, when she was assistant adviser on counterterrorism at homeland security, in the letter she wrote, the cia, so everybody in the government, except that the state department, wanted to designation boko haram a foreign terrorist organization, what was the main argument the state department was giving you at the time why they didn't want to do that? >> first, you're right, as far as these letters, the congressman of pennsylvania, republican, he was on those
10:18 am
letters. also on one of those letters at least was the congresswoman, democratic congresswoman from california, we felt very strongly about this. the reason, the state department felt this would give too much publicity to boko haram and they also felt they couldn't trust the nigerian government. well, again, in the post-9/11 world, we don't always have perfect allies. the nigerian government is obviously not a very effective government but by us designating boko haram as a foreign terrorist organization, we could have taken measures sfashs fu s funding. it's up to the state department to work with the nigerian government. also i think they said the nigerian government doesn't wasn't this designation made. we can't allow nigeria to determine our foreign policy. as lisa monica pointed out in the letter, she was holder's deputy attorney general, that this was a potential threat to
10:19 am
the united states and a potential threat to american interests in africa. as far as boca hko haram, as fa giving them notoriety, they already had notoriety. they carried out massacres. they killed people. murdered i don't know how many people in a christian church on christmas day. they were carrying out massacres around africa. they were attacking u.n. inst l installati installations. so everyone who had to know in africa about boko haram knew about it. by us not designating a foreign terrorist organization, if anything, it was being perceived in african as a sign of weakness, rather than somehow a sign of diplomacy. >> i want you to stick around. other issues i want to discuss with you. including more about hillary clinton. being criticized by a lot your fellow republicans when it comes to what happened in benghazi. we're going to talk about that a lot more. are you ready grandma? just a second, sweetie.

10:23 am
republicans are pushing ahead with a select committee investigation into the deadly attacks in benghazi, libya. they're keeping up their criticism of the then secretary of state hillary clinton over her response to the tragedy. let's pick up our conversation with republican peter king. the former president bill clinton strongly defending his wife, saying she did what she did about benghazi and she was right. she impanelled a committee to investigate. listen to bill clinton. >> i looked into what was wrong. they gave 29 recommendations. she took them and started implementing them. and they established the fact that whether it was right or wrong in the past, secretaries of state never were involved directly in these security decisions. >> so he and a lot other supporters of hillary clinton suggesting what republicans are doing in the house side largely
10:24 am
politic political. you're a member the house intelligence committee. your committee under mike rogers, the chairman, dutch rutgersbrother, the chairman. you looked into benghazi. what do you need to know now that you and your committee members don't already know? >> wolf, first of all, everything has to be connected. various committees held various hearings and there was always a disconnect between the military and the intelligence and state department. to me there's major questions here as to why more action was not taken to provide the security beforehand. and also, when was this decision made and why was it made in the immediate aftermath of the attacks, to say it was caused by a video, when nothing on the ground was saying that? as michael more rello was number two in the nba ccia, he said no in the cia was saying the video was the cause of the attack.
10:25 am
it's not just the question of the talking points. you saw the state department, people in the cia, people in the white house, coming up with what appears to be i believe a cover-up story after the fact, and i believe americans deserve more. certainly the families of those murdered deserve more than that. to make it a personal attack on hillary clinton is wrong. when you deal with bureaucracies such as the state department, not everything makes it to the top. i think we should see how far it went. if it didn't go to secretary clinton, as president clinton said, reforms should be made. listen, either administration's had failures as far as security unfortunately going back to 1983 in beirut with the regular agan administration. it was the fact that in the immediate aftermath, there seemed to be is up a political cover put on it. not just the campaign, but keeping up with the obama narrative that al qaeda have been defeated, that we can go back to a pre-9/11 state and security state, as opposed to yb
10:26 am
the measures that were imposed after 9/11. so i think it's, again, the larger picture of how either the politics or the intention to create a narrative that was not based on fact really impacted policy. libya, also that could tie it in pthe obama administration, at least the state department, didn't want to acknowledge that in many ways al qaeda was metastasizing and morphing and was in some ways more dangerous than before 9/11. >> you're appearing to beirut, back in the early '80s, when terrorists blew up the u.s. marine barracks outside of beir beir beirut, killing more than 200 american personnel. also killi ing dozens inside th embassy including diplomats. that was during the reagan administration. quickly on today's "wall street journal" report suggesting iran is recruiting afghan refugees to go to syria to fight in support
10:27 am
of the bashar al assad regime, offering them $500 a month. what do you make of that? >> i've not been able to confirm that. i haven't heard that. i wouldn't be surprised. first all, we know iran is involved in trying to prop up assad in syria. he is clearly an ally of theirs. i wouldn't be surprised if there is some training. when you say thousands, that seems like a big number. only because i've not heard it. i've been trying to track it down since today's story appeared. there's no doubt iran is behind syria and is taking strong measures to support another syrian regime. just as al qaeda affiliates are working with the rebels. as far as being able to confirm there's foreign fighters coming from afghanistan, being trained in iran and being sent into syria, i've not confirmed that. i wouldn't be surprised if there was some amount. when they say thousands, that causes me to doubt that. again, i am still trying to get to the bottom of that. >> we're out of time.
10:28 am
one quick political question. are you thinking of running for the republican presidential nomination in 2016? >> i'm certainly looking at it. i'll be back in new hampshire june 21st. when i saw hillary clinton yesterday, i told her to get ready. >> get ready, you think it's possible she can win that nomination, and i would be moderating debates presumably between you and hillary clinton, is that what you're saying? >> it would be a good show, really would. i'm looking at this because i've seen people like rand paul and ted cruz. and to me, i don't want the republican party going in that direction, whether it's me or someone else. i want to do all i can to make sure what i call the realistic foreign policy wing and national security wing of the republican party does not give into the ice layingists and i don't want to go back to the 1930s and the days of charles lindbergh. >> strong words from peter king. you're seriously considering it. we'll see what happens.
10:29 am
if you do get the republican nomination, hillary clinton gets the democratic nomination, i'm ready to volunteer to moderate a debate between the two of you. >> hey, wolf, you got it. >> all right, thanks very much. other political news we're following, idaho, the race for governor, they let it all hang out. the debate went from wolf hunting to gay marriage. you'll meet the cast of characters. stand by. in turkey, police clashed with protesters upset at the huge loss of life at the soma coal mine.

10:34 am
and marching towards the central square where there's a statue of a couple of miners. and they were going to read a statement. they were intercepted by lines of riot police who pushed them back and then unleashed water cannons on the mourners and started firing tear gas at the mourners. i saw a guy get knocked out and get carried off. some of the tear gas canisters were landing in the balconies of apartments here and belching tear gas into people's homes. it was an incredible scene to see. the use of force four days after nearly 300 local men died under that mountain, just a few miles away from here. men who earned about 500 to $750 a month digging for coal. wolf. >> awful situation over there. s what what's the latest on the tragedy at the mine itself? are they still searching?
10:35 am
do they still believe it's possible anyone might still be alive? >> we're not hearing much hope from people. today, authorities say the fire that was raging at the depths of the mines appears to have been put out. authorities saying they still are looking for 18 miners still missing. and also we're getting more details from the company that owns the mine. they say they closed one of the safe rooms at the depths of the mine and they were planning to build a new one. that's a place where miners could have presumably got clean air and protect themselves from the carbon monoxide poisoning that killed more than 280 people, and now we're learning there was no safe room for these people to run to. that's something that's going to need to be investigated. i saw a man weeping on the street today in front of riot police saying, why are you firing tear gas at us?
10:36 am
they still haven't found my friends who are in the mine. just to give you a sense at how the security forces kind of hit the people of this town when they're very, very far down right now. >> yeah. handled -- terribly handled by government officials clearly. ivan, thanks very, very much for that report. other news we're following, it's been one of the most important parts of the investigation of malaysia airlines flight 370. the satellite data that has shaped the search. but some 70 days after it disappeared, there are now fresh questions about who has that data and why the public hasn't seen it. cnn's jim clancy tried to get some answers. >> reporter: what happened to flight 370 is the biggest mystery in the history of modern aviation. but the raw data gleaned from satellite handshakes as the plane flew thousands of miles off course is not a mystery. it may instead become a
10:37 am
controversy. >> there is any request for this raw data to be made available to the public, it must be made to inmarsat. >> reporter: australian s heading the search in the southern indian ocean tells cnn they don't have the raw data either, but inmarsat, the company that owns the satellites, insists that data has already been released. >> we've shared the information that we have and it's for the investigation to decide what and when it puts out. >> reporter: the truth, it seems, somewhere in between. malaysia, as the country in charge of the investigation, is supposed to control the release of any information. but in this case, the conclusions were shared in a press be tation on a laptop computer. malaysia's transport minute there are insists he doesn't have the raw data itself. malaysia and everyone else have the conclusions. that's the sequence of maps that was produced by reading satellite data that showed the
10:38 am
jetliner was somewhere along a huge arc. further calculations, aided by boeing, malaysian airlines and others, placed flight 370 in the southern indian ocean, nearly out of fuel and far from land. is a reassessment of raw satellite data in order? cnn has asked the malaysian government if it would request raw data from inmarsat in the hopes it could then in some form be made public and openly examined. the man in charge of the search warns some of the world's best experts are confident the current analysis is correct, but even he doesn't rule out some kind of review. >> jim clancy, thank you. jim clancy reporting for us. malaysian government, by the way, says it has set up a new committee to help streamline communications between the countries involved in the search, the families and others. in medical news, the fda is lowering the recommended dose of a popular sleep aid. that's because of concerns about
