out. right? right? am i right? >> no one here seems too bitter about that. >> get a taste of mississippi with anthony bourdain tomorrow i night at 9:00 p.m. eastern time. you are in the "cnn newsroom." i'm miguel marques in for don lemon. in san diego the firefighters say they have the advantage over a wave of ferocious wildfires. that doesn't mean the fires are out. far from it. thousands of acres north of san diego are still burning. dozens of homes and businesses are gone. and this western wildfire season has just gotten started. paul vercammen is in california. this is not a good sign for the rest of the fire season. they could use some rain out there, yes, paul?
4:01 pm
>> joo they could. i remember a piece you did when you were walking the central valley in california. extreme, exceptional or severe drought throughout california. the good news this san marcus fire is 70% contained and most of the san diego fires in the right direction. the drought is getting worse. when you look at the vegetation they say it's stressed. the vegetation can come back. but you need? rain. we are just not getting any rain in the west. i was talking with a top federal fire official and they said where are the areas of concern? almost all of california, almost all of oregon and parts of nevada. of course, if they do get any rain you look down in the canyon and there is a house that miraculously survived this fire. but if they get some precipitation, some moisture, look how exposed the hillside is and the next thing they have to think about in the winter is mudslides.
4:02 pm
>> much of the west under fire threat this fire season. what is it like there? are they essentially saying they have to treat this as though it is october/november right now? >> reporter: that's exactly it. they are looking at this at a summer or fall phenomenon. the other term you hear being thrown around, but they are not throwing it around lightly you're hearing it on the federal, state and local level. i just talked to a pio today, public information officer, and he said all of these conditions, these drought-like conditions, this early start, this makes for what they think could be one of the worst fire seasons ever. as i said, they don't like to toss around that term lightly at all, miguel. >> paul vercammen, thauches. over ta fast moving wildfir the wind twisting the flames into immense heat.thauches. a fast moving wildfire and the wind twisting the flames

4:04 pm
would be much more powerful than this. they do occur that way but very, very rarely. this is more like a dust devil with fire in it. but it's still dangerous. because it can go horizontal at any moment and basically start spraying out across the ground like a blowtorch with thousands of degrees very dangerous for firefighters nearby. but even if it keeps going straight up, along with those combustible gases, it pulls in tiny bits of particulate, bits of plants and things, which can also burst into flames up there and in this rapidly swirling environment, be thrown out and carried by the wind starting other fires. so, if you're too close to the fire whirl itself, you can be trapped between that and the other fires that are started and imagine those fires going all the way around. that's one of the reasons why these have to be treated with so much respect and kept at such a distance as fascinating as they are. we have just learned for the first time that middle east respiratory syndrome known as

mers has been passed within two people in the united states. cnn's senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen says someone has been affected on u.s. soil. >> the first two persons went from saudi arabia to the united states. now one of those people has now spread mers to someone else within the united states. one man has been identified to be an illinois man. so, it tells us a little bit more, you know, this virus isn't incredibly easy to catch. it's not like the common cold, but now we know it appears that it can be spread just from a 40-minute business meeting. 53 health care care workers have been tested and a business

4:13 pm
and not with malaysia and not with us and not with the -- if there is any request for this raw data to be made available to the public it must be made to inmarsat. >> inmarsat said it gave all relevant data to malaysia and up to them to decide about any public release. clearly someone is not being completely truthful but who should we believe? malaysia or inmarsat? i spoke with paul ginsburg who worked with the fbi and homeland security department and the cia about the controversy. >> it ourturns out the malaysia government has a poor history. they changed what they reported as the aircraft's altitude direction, the transcript. they said that the last
4:14 pm
transmission was, all right, good night. where clearly it wasn't. the release of the transcripts was first withheld, then it was -- then they were released. then the actual communications were released. and, in fact, i looked at those transmissions, and what they released was edited. in fact, there's even a very low voice. neither pilot nor tower in that released audio that they gave us. as far as who has the permission or the authority to withhold or release the information, really, whoever -- i don't care who it comes from, we need the data. and as far as i'm concerned with respect to the malaysian government, i would not buy a used car from them. >> right now, officials are determining the next search phase based on inmarsat satellite data. the incredible california chrome is two-thirds of the way to horse racing's triple crown. within the last hour or so, the horse added to its dominant victory in the kentucky derby with a win at the preakness stakes. california chrome becomes the 13th horse to win the first two

4:16 pm
where the case started, topeka, kansas. erin, what does the first lady have to say? >> part of the reason why this speech is getting so much attention is because michelle obama described how brown v board impacted her own life but she also was relatively outspoken in asserting that segregation still exists. listen to her describe that here. >> many young people in america are going to school, largely, with kids who look just like them. and too often, those schools aren't equal, especially ones attended by students of color which too often lag behind. with crumbling classrooms and less experienced teachers appear and even in schools that seem integrated according to the numbers. when you look a little closer, you see students from different backgrounds sitting at separate lunch tables or tracked into
4:17 pm
different classes or separated into different clubs or activities. >> reporter: now the first lady didn't exactly have a policy prescription. she just said there needs to be some cultural change. as it turns out attorney general eric holder was giving a commencement today at morgan state university and he sounded some similar themes. he said chief justice john roberts has argued that the path to ending racial discrimination is give less consideration to the issue of race altogether. this predisposes that racial discrimination is at a leb ebb it doesn't need to be actively confronted. this is all interesting in light of the l.a. clippers fiasco with donald sterling, miguel. >> erin mcpike in washington, thank you very much. if you're fighting with your sister-in-law, maybe you would think an evidelevator is a safe place to do it. if that is what beyonce and

governments. clearly most people want to control their digital footprints. is online control, though, just a myth? >> the thing is i try in my book to opt out as many services as i possibly could to see if we have any control. the truth is we don't have as much control we would like. you can try to get out of the online ad tracking that follow you around and it's easy to get out of, but things like -- buy and sell your name and address i was unable to get out of most of those. >> a lot was made of the nsa spying scandal. should americans be more worried about the nsa than they are about hackers? look. if you're not doing anything wrong, why worry? >> well, i think it's worth pointing out that nsa is actually using a lot of techniques that we really only thought criminal hackers were
4:41 pm
using. in fac in fact, the defense against hackers is the same against the nsa. the one thng we found in the snowden documents was that they were intercepting unencrypted communications on the internet. previously to this we basically thought if you were in a coffee shop and you used your computer and you logged in and you weren't encrypted, you should worry about hackers getting your information. we didn't realize you should worry about the nsa getting your information. >> there are various degrees we are talking about here. i take a lot of it comes down to us and what we personally put on these sites. i am sometimes shocked what you see friends posting on the sites. is this part of the problem? >> i think it's amazing. i think the key, one of the keys is personal responsibility. what you put on and the trust you have in others that are close to you. and this is the age of internet. it's just easier to put something online. maybe just going back to the old fashioned ways gives us more private sane more security? >> julia, is there any agency or
4:42 pm
groups, i guess -- who is out there looking out for the little guys and for privacy? >> well, you know, the thing is there are some companies starting up in the wake of snowden. there has been more and more companies starting to offer privacy protecting services and i'm hopeful that maybe there will be a market for services in the future that we can actually buy privacy protecting services, but it's also putting out that some things can you do to protect yourself cost nothing. for instance, i agree, people post stupid things online. but my point of view is you can't prevent people from writing things stupidly but you could actually create a fake name. for my kids, i have them have a fake identity online so if they write something down, they don't have to worry about it later because it's not under their name. >> right. you've written that passwords are -- your passwords are 30 to 40 characters long. i'd forget that in an instant.
4:43 pm
is that what it takes simply things like that to stay safe? >> it's true. yes, passwords is another thing we can do to stay safe. i know 30 or 40 characters is dauntsing b in daunting but those are only for e-mail. i use an automated program to come up with all of the rest of my passwords so there is a bunch of software out. a lot of it is is free that will make all of the passwords for you and store it on your computer for you. >> it is amazing. the first time we have all gone through this and feels like it's been around forever but it's just been a few years. julia and jean, thank you both very much for sticking around and please do stick around because we will talk to you more in in a few minutes. first if you've had an account hacked or an embarrassing pictures posted on the internet, you might act a little differently in the future. so how is the end of privacy changing us? and can the laws get ahead of the hackers? or will we always be playing catch up?

4:50 pm
very basic level. >> and it is an emotional violation. >> holly, when we're hacked or identities stolen, how hard is it to go after the crooks? >> it's very hard. but the first thing you need to advise people to do is file a police report. people when they get hacked don't think to call the police because they think it's out there in the ethernet, we don't know who to go after. but you have to call, the non-emergency number, don't call 911, but call the emergency number, put it in writing, get a police report. the other thing we're seeing that's a huge violation. people are going into the irs online and filing with your social security number and getting your tax return back. because it can now be loaded on a debit card. so they don't even have to mail a physical check to an address. what you need to do when that happens, call your local police department, make the report, notify the regard company, the

loan company, whoever it is that's being fraudulently connected and saying it's you getting it and start that paper trail. these people know what they're doing. it's the anonymity, we talk about this a lot in the law. the anonymity when you're getting stalked on twitter or facebook. somebody will make up a fake name. we see it all the time. today i had a friend call me and say, somebody's impersonating my husband and friended you on facebook. true story. she said it's not us, it's something trying to get at us, so please unfriend them. so yeah, it happens all the time. in this instance, we knew who it was, but very hard to find that person. >> we are a security conscious nation to begin with. you talk about good paranoia. doesn't this make us more distant, less trustful of each other? doesn't that start to tear away at the bonds of the society itself? >> well, it's very interesting.

when the nsa scandal broke out, we said snowden was not a patriot, he's a bad guy and so on. i think people's opinions are starting to change and they're realizing now, this is the march into the future, that, to have ironically some sort of security in our lives, that we have to open up our lives in this way and allow ourselves to be bugged, to have all this information coming in. but i'm more concerned and i think holly would agree with this, i'm more concerned in the commercial people, you know, actually coming after your information. and that, to me, is a real violation. the government, i can understand. the commercial people -- >> i always think of minority reports. >> that's right. >> with tom cruise. >> you two are not dismissed. stay with me. after the break, do you think you have any privacy in the future? no one can say for sure, but that's what we'll talk about coming right up.

so where do we go from here? if you're online, you want to stay online, we can't cancel our e-mail addresses, facebook, or twitter accounts. some of us don't have a choice, we use them for work. so here's the question. is it just the beginning? whatever privacy we have left, is that going away too? jean casarez, holly, jeff. julia, is it going to get worse? what are we looking at in the future? >> i wish i could be optimistic, but i think it's going to get worse. i'm very worried about facial recognition technology. right now it's not quite good enough, but pretty soon, everyone's going to be able to hold up their iphone on the street and you'll be identifying
4:57 pm
them, and i being bring surveillance to a visceral levels. >> any upside? >> there is. videotaping can help solve a crime. so the right person is prosecuted and charge. eyewitness identification can be falty. when you have it on videotape, a jury can see it and it can solve many things. and by the way, there's no expectation of privacy in public. >> and police agencies around the world say it deters criminals as well. >> it does deter crime. >> but are we opening ourselves up to just sort of accepting, giving away so much of our privacy every day? >> well, remember, what jean just said, you don't have an expectation of privacy on a public street. i was just in court this monday arguing that because someone was trying to take a restraining order against my client because she stood in her own front yard and took a picture of the street. and they said she's stalking me. no, under the law, that's not stalking. when you're on a public street,
4:58 pm
you don't have that right, that expectation. and jean hit the nail on the head. i've been a prosecutor. i'm a defense attorney and i also do family law. and the first thing you're going to hear a divorce lawyer say, take down your facebook page, get off the twitter. because that's exhibit a in the courtroom. what do you think prosecutors use, when a guy gets on the stand and goes, i'm not a member of a gang? i swear, members of the injury, never in my life. exhibit a is the facebook photo of you flashing gang signs, wearing the colors and holding an ak. so it has positive uses. you just need to be smart about what you put out there. >> and let's also be aware that as the technology gets better, yes, it's going to get worse, but there are also benefits. technology does cut both ways. so, yeah, there will be less privacy, but we will have more rewards, as far as our lives and making things easier. but unfortunately, it also makes
4:59 pm
things easier for the thieves too. >> it's how you lead your life. >> so how much of it is us putting ourselves out there and our own doing? >> i think that's an excellent point. some of it is beyond your control. but it's the company you keep. because if your friends post what you thought couldn't be publicized, you have a problem. digital is forever. >> are there ways to carve out private spaces for ourselves online, or should the expectation always be there is nothing private online? >> i think the most prudent approach is to assume that even if you think you're protecting your privacy, that you're probably not being completely successful. and so try to act as if you don't have privacy. that said, i do think some very simple measures can make a difference. using a different identity -- if you want to write stupid things on facebook, put it under another name. if you don't want google to know
5:00 pm
what you're doing, use a different search engine. i switched to one called duck duck go, and those things make me feel better. >> thank you all for joining us. anthony bourdain finds out the true meaning of food in lyon, franz, coming up now. this is the story of one man, one chef, and a city. also it's about france and a lot of other chefs. and a culinary tradition that grew up to change the world of gastronomy. it's about a family tree, about the trunk from which many branches grew. it's about food, lots of food. great food. some of the greatest food on earth.
