aircraft did arrive on scene, but there was no authorization from niger to allow air strikes on its territory. the u.s., the french, and nigerians all working together to see if they can locate the perpetrators. wolf. >> thank you very much. disturbing report. that's it for me. thanks for watching. "erin burnett outfront" starts right now. >> "outfront" next, breaking news. the death toll growing in the california wildfires. tonight, entire livelihoods reduced to ashes. >> plus, the president challenging his secretary of state to an iq faceoff, insulting senator corker, calling hill little with a "d." and president and mrs. obama are breaking their silence on harvey weinstein five days after the allegations came to light as we have new and disturbing audio of weinstein harassing someone. you're going to hear it. it's stunning. let's go "outfront."

good evening. i'm erin burnett. "outfront" tonight, the breaking news. growing death toll. a massive struggle under way right now to contain one of the deadliest wildfires to ever tear through california. the flames devouring an area the size of a football field every three seconds. the wildfires so far killing at least 15 people. there are 200 people missing tonight. and this is why. home after home destroyed. all that is left, piles of ash, as these fires are moving through so quickly, napa's popular vineyards and wineries slammed as well. this is the paradise ridge winery. look at that before and that after. wildfires are so intense, you can see them from space. this image was just released from nasa, and it shows the smoke covering much of northern california, and these fires are not even starting to be under control. dan simon is "outfront" live in santa rosa, california, and dan, the destruction behind you is

devastating. >> reporter: erin, it's just absolutely incredible, and believe it or not, authorities are still evacuating people. they are still going door to door because the fliames are still approaching people's homes. you talked about the missing. about 200 people are missing. that does not mean they are believed to be dead. it just means there could be a problem with communication. they have to sort it out. i'm going to step out of the way because you can see this neighborhood. it is unbelievable. this is the coffee park neighborhood in santa rosa, california. there is not a home still standing. devastation as far as the eye can see. some 20,000 people are evacuated. i was actually at a shelter today. it was packed. i have to tell you, the need is great. they need clothes. they need children's toys. and folks are still streaming in there. as far as when this fire might be contained, erin, we just don't know. at this point, it's still zero percent contained. the wind, however, is dying down, so hopefully, erin, firefighters will begin making progress. >> unbelievable to see that

destruction. all right, dan simon, very much. we'll have more on that later this hour. now, to our other top story. president trump undercutting and belittling his own staff and his own party today. today, questioning his secretary of state's iq and giving a demeaning new nickname to the head of the senate foreign relations committee calling him little with two ds, bob corker. as for rex tillerson calling him a moron, firing back with this. i think it's fake news, but if he did that, i guess we'll have to compare iq tests and i can tell you who will win. sarah huck abee sanders saying o oh, gosh, that was a joke. >> the president certainly never inplied the secretary of state was incredibly intelligent. he made a joke, nothing more than that. he has full confidence in the secretary of state. >> new reporting here, he wasn't making a joke.

this issue of full confidence, is this what full confidence looks like? here's the president's recent tweets on secretary tillerson. here's this one. i told rex tillerson, our wonderful secretary of state, that he's wasting his time trying to negotiate with little rocket man. the president continuing to make it clear tillerson's strategy was a loser, tweeting, save your energy, rex. we'll do what has to be done. trump's humiliation of tillerson even as the secretary of state came to the white house today for lunch. minutes before he arrived, trump spoke to the cameras. >> did you undercut the secretary of state today with the iq comment? >> no. i didn't undercut anybody. i don't believe in undercutting people. >> okay. never mind his insults to his secretary of state. here's trump undercutting a few of the other people who work for him. >> does everybody like nikki? otherwise, she can easily be replaced. >> should have never recused himself. if he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me

before he took the job. and i would have picked somebody else. >> are you going to get the votes? you better, otherwise i'll say tom, you're fired. >> all right, that was undercutting his u.n. ambassador, his attorney general, and his now former health and human services secretary. he did fire him. jim acosta is "outfront." tonight, two of the most important foreign policy leaders in the united states, rex tillerson and bob corker, being undercut and humiliated by the president. >> and some more undercutting going on over here at the white house. we were told in the last several minutes by a source close to the white house who is familiar with the president's reaction to rex tillerson's comments about being called a moron, and then these comments about how the president would like to see his iq test compared with rex tillerson's iq test. according to this source that i just spoke with a few moments ago, erin, the president was not joking. when he said that he and rex tillerson should compare iq tests. this is what the source said to me, a quote, they knew he was pissed that people found out he

called him a moron and he spouted out about the iq test because he was mad. the white house knows it was not a joke. that, of course, is contrary to what sarah sanders, the press secretary, told reporters earlier today, that this was just a joke and that all of us in the press corps should go and get a sense of humor. now, one thing that is not a laughing matter is that rex tillerson, the secretary of state, the secretary of defense, james mattis, were boat at the white house, and the president did get a national security briefing on north korea. saying the president was briefed on a range of options for dealing with north korea's nuclear aggression. but erin, that is not the only matter that the white house, of course, was dealing with today. they were, of course, dealing with this ongoing futd with the outgoing tennessee republican senator bob corker. bob corker, as you know, and the president have been going back and forth over recent days. at the briefing earlier today, sarah sanders was asked about corker's comments over the weekend that the white house had been turned into an adult day care center and so on, and she quoted a different senator, the

late pat moynahan, who said you're entitled to your opinions but not your own facts. that, of course, erin, coming from a white house that once talked about alternative facts. >> thank you very much. sarah sanders with comments like these in danger of giving herself the credibility of sean spicer. "outfront" next, gloria borger, david drucker also with me. the president challenging his secretary of state to an iq test, putting aside sarah sanders trying to make it go away by making something up. you hear jim's reporting. he meant it. he's angry. he says he's smarter. >> right. that's what he does. i mean, we heard this all during the campaign. he said he had a higher iq than rick perry who i would point out now works for him. he said he had a higher iq of the republicans he was running against. we all know, this isn't a president who's really got a great sense of humor. he's not that great at telling a joke, ate least not publicly. and you know, i mean, they always say that he's joking when they're trying to sort of push

something aside, when he said that obama created isis, when he asked russia to hack hillary clinton's e-mails and on and on. they say oh, the president was just joking. this is his way of getting in the last word against rex tillerson, whom he was angry at. >> and is angry at. david, rex tillerson's spokesperson, i guess this is where it gets ludicrous, was forced to respond to this today by reporters. and david, here's the exchange with heather and the reporters. >> apropos of nothing, what is the secretary's iq? >> it's high. >> is it? >> anybody who can put things together, it's high. >> you don't have an exact score. >> i'm afraid i don't. >> what he might have gotten on his s.a.t.s, anything like that, no? >> do you have a real question? >> yeah, turkey. >> you know, you can laugh at that, but i guess does the

president think this sort of back and forth is helping the united states diplomatically. >> i don't know if the president looks at the that way. he operates in a brand first mode. the way he did when he was running a television show and his closely held family business. that's how he looks at the presidency and he thinks that furthers his political viability, and to some extent he's right because his political base eats this up. i think the danger in ridiculing rex tillerson, even if the president really was joking, is that our adversaries and allies around the world still don't know how to read this president, particularly in asia where saving face is so important. and they don't have this kind of sense of humor. we're involved in some very sensitive negotiations or at least an attempt to negotiate a standdown with this north korea crisis, working with china. i don't think the north koreans and the chinese and others in the region understand this kind of sense of humor, if that's what it was. i think that's the problem with the president's spat very publicly with rex tillerson.

>> of course, and let's just be honest. he often says things you can try later to say are a joke, but they're not. they're said in anger, in the heat of the moment, and he believes them even though they may then seem absurd. gloria, the bigger issue here, though, is the president thrives on undercutting people. but he says, you just heard him, he doesn't undercut anybody. but he does. that's his management style. i have talked to people close to him. he plays them off each other, undercuts them one to another. that's trump management. >> trump management is that, and it's creating chaos. that's exactly what he's doing. to david's point, rex tillerson is about to go to asia. he's worried about the decertification of the iran deal, north korea, et cetera, et cetera. this isn't the trump organization. this is somebody who speaks on behalf of the united states of america to foreign leaders. and if you say that you have a higher iq than this guy and you try to demean him and belittle him, and he's not just

representing donald trump. he's representing everybody in this country, what does that say, and how does that help the trump administration? that's the question that i have. when you have a secretary of state, it's very clear his tenure is going to be measured in months, not years. >> yeah. >> if that. he's going to -- he's out of here. and so, you know, the president has a problem. and he's making it worse, all because of his personal grievance with rex tillerson. >> and of course, when they keep coming out and saying how much confidence he has in him, that demeans the role of press secretary and whether we can believe what she's really saying when he says that. david, it also continued today with senator corker. the president coming out today with a tweet, the failing "new york times" set liddle bob corker up by recording his conversation. was made to sound a fool, and that's what i am dealing with. just to be clear, though, corker told "the new york times" his aides were recording the conversation and they should also. here he is.

>> we're recording it. i hope you are too. >> so the president was wrong there. but obviously, using the word liddle, two ds as he did with marco rubio. what is the point of these childish nicknames and things? or david, does he not see it as childish? >> well, i think the president sees it as a effective, and i don't think he cares whether it's childish or not and doesn't care what a lot of people think about it. from his point of view, and we have seen it with past presidents, what worked for him to get them elected president will assume it's going to keep working for them until it doesn't. i think he's taking what was very effective in the primary and general election and using it in his view to govern. i think the problem for him, if he's worried about tax reform or worried about his larger agenda is that if he keeps fighting with his allies on the hill, the way he's fighting with bob corker, even if i'll stipulate, he's justified in striking back at bob corker for previous

criticism, even if he is, it doesn't further his end goal if his end goal is policy. in talking to republicans, they reminded me today that for this president, he may not pressure his success in legislative achievements. he might measure is in political suxsis, how many rallies he can pack and how many cheers he gets. when he rallies the base that remains very angry at washington, responds very favorably, and that's why he continues this. >> what got him elected is being anti-establishment, was calling people names. was being able to categorize people, label them, and be isolated from the republican party. that is exactly the thing that is working against him right now in washington. he hasn't been able to adapt. and he doesn't want to adapt. and so he is at war with the majority he needs in the senate to get his agenda through. >> all right. thank you both. and next, breaking news. we have new details breaking at this hour about something found

in the las vegas gunman's hotel suite. we have new information on that and something pretty stunning here that could tell some crucial things to investigators. plus, stunning rape allegations. rape. we're not using the word lightly. this is rape that's being alleged against harvey weinstein as the shocking audio is surfacing of him recorded during a police sting. >> i'm sorry. just come on. i'm used to that. >> you're used to that? >> yes. >> and nfl commissioner roger goodell telling teams now to stand up for the national anthem. does trump win this one? where's gary?

breaking news. chilling new details about the las vegas gunman's plot and arsenal. two officials revealing that the gunman fired incendiary bullets at a fuel tank at the nearby airport, hoping investigators believed, to cause a massive explosion. incendiary bullets is a crucial term. kyung lah is in las vegas tonight. you are learning a lot more about what was found in that hotel suite. >> reporter: what was exactly found in that hotel suite. especially when it pertains to the type of bullets, because it speaks to the pain-staking preparations and plans this man made in order to hurt as many people as possible. six minutes before the horrific mass shooting began on the

concert crowd in las vegas, the gunman had already fired his weapons inside the mandalay bay hotel. firing on a security officer. >> what we have learned was mr. campos was encountered by the suspect prior to his shooting to the outside world. >> by outside world, he meanathize mass shooting into the crowd. that's a shift from the timeline given three days earlier. >> we believe that he was shooting into the crowd and then the security officer was shot during that event. >> according to the new timeline, the security guard walking towards the gunman's room surprised the killer, as he drilled into the wall of his hotel room, investigators believe to install a camera or gun. that was 9:59 when the gunman shot campos. >> immediately upon being injured, notified security of his situation. >> unclear what happened after campos notified security at 10:05. a full six minutes, when

surveillance cameras captured the first shots from the 32nd floor to the innocent crowd below. in the volley of gunfire in the mass shooting, two law enforcement sources with knowledge of the investigation but not able to speak publicly said incendiary rounds were found. they were found in the gunman's room and near the international airport fuel tanks. the airport says jet fuel is designed to withstand a brief open ignition source. so the incendiary rounds may not have had any impact. in the suspect's room, among the weapons, ammunition, and cameras, survival equipment. the law enforcement sources say some sort of breathing apparatus like a gas mask and a protective vest were recovered. >> we know that he attempted to shoot at the fuel tanks. we know that he had some personal protection equipment in the room. we know that the car that was down in the parking garage still

contained binary explosives. so i would be comfortable in saying, which i believe depending on the splash he made during the shooting, would it enable the first responders to directing their attention on other locations which would enable mr. paddock to just leave the hotel. >> that is one theory. you heard the sheriff there say i believe. i have spoken to a couple other law enforcement sources involved in this investigation. they don't -- they aren't quite sure yet. they say there's one theory. they're also looking into whether or not he intended on ever leaving the hotel room as well as trying to find exactly what motivated this person. we should point out as these lawsuits are beginning to be filed, we're hearing at the end of the day today, there is going to be a lawsuit filed by at least one texas family against mgm mandalay bay questioning what happened in the six minutes

between when the security guard was shot and when the gunfire took place in the crowd. >> kyung lah, thank you very much. let's talk about that now. james gag leono, retired fbi agent. let's start with the news kyung was breaking about the insindary round in room. >> those are typically military terms. they deal with tank rounds or howitzer rounds. as far as direct fire weapons go, we know you can buy bullets, tracer rounds. we have talked about that before, as well as incendiary rounds that are typically coated with phosphorus, magnesium. >> they explode on impact? >> they lead to the ignition that causes the combustion. what we think he was trying to do, even the distance was such that he couldn't do it through direct fire, it had to be almost aimed in an area fire to hit the fuel tanks. the problem is the jet propellant is not as combustible as gas. for a guy who was so smart, who

was figuring out trajectory and range and all that, it doesn't make sense. >> so we also, kyung is reporting gas masks, protective vests. vests, plural, in that room. >> he went online and said how does s.w.a.t. act. what he figured is s.w.a.t. is going to come in and try to pump gas into the room. if you have a barricaded subject, gas is appropriate. if you have a subject that's spraying automatic weapons fire into a crowd, you're not using gas. you're using an explosive breach, which is what they did, and you're making entry right away. make it a direct assault. >> now let's talk about the lawsuit. kyung said about to be filed focusing on the six minutes. we know the security guard was shot six minutes before the gunman started firing at the crowd, and we know immediately he called security. which means there was a six-minute warning before anyone else was shot. >> i'm not critical of the cops for their response. they're not in the hotel, so if the security makes a call, by the time it gets to 911 and cops respond, it's not a homogenous

un unit. i'm not critical of that. i'm critical after the fact. you have the remember, the sheriff and the metropolitan las vegas police department has about 2600 officers, he's an elected official. he doesn't answer to the city, the county, the state. i felt like the press conferences and what was released should have been tightened up a bit, maybe a little more disciplined and restrained. initially coming out with a timeline before you had it solid was folly. >> thank you very much. i appreciate it. next, breaking news. president micheland michelle ob breaking their silence on harvey weinstein as horrifying audio perfortingly of weinstein surfaces. >> i'm sorry. you said it was kind of aggressive for me. >> i know. >> why wasn't weinstein prosecuted for just that one of what appears to be dozens and dozens of similar incidents? plus, jeanne moos on the president's obsession with his iq.

>> i know i have an iq better than all of them. i guarantee you my iq is much higher than any of these people. ? start here. at fidelity, we let you know where you stand, so when it comes to your retirement plan, you'll always be absolutely...clear. it's your retirement. know where you stand. whstuff happens. old absolutely...clear. shut down cold symptoms fast with maximum strength alka seltzer plus liquid gels.

[ bloop ] huh? hey? i paused it. bam, family time. so how is everyone? find your awesome with xfinity xfi and change the way you wifi. breaking tonight, former president obama and michelle obama have finally issued a statement after several days of silence, saying they're, quote, disgusted about reports about harvey weinstein, and any man who demeans and degrades a woman in such fashion needs to be condemned and held accountable. they had previously called weinstewin weinstein a good friend in the past and their daughter interned for them. this comes as we're hearing the mogul and democratic donor

harass another woman on audiotape. here it is, obtained by the new yorker. >> i'm telling you right now -- >> what do we have to do here? >> nothing. i'm going to take a shower. you sit there and have a drink. >> i don't drink. can i stay at the bar? >> no, you must come here now. >> i'm feeling very uncomfortable now. >> please come in now. if you want to leave when the guy comes -- >> you touched my breast. >> i'm sorry, just come on. i'm used to that. >> you're used to that? >> yes, come in. >> hillary clinton, who has been friends with weinstein, benefitting from his donations to her senate and presidential campaigns also broke her silence today, five days after the allegations broke. a spokesman releasing a statement under heavy pressure, writing, quote, i was shocked and appalled about the revelations about harvey weinstein. the behavior described by women coming forward cannot be tall ralted. their courage and the support of others is critical in helping stop these kind of behavior. this came after incredible pressure. last night, clinton spoke for 90 minutes at a book signing. she was asked about sexism and

misogyny. she was happy to talk about both, but she completely ignored weinstein. >> you know, don't let it be something that people sigh over or get upset about and then forget. this is endemic to our political system, to business, to the media, to every part of society. so don't be afraid to talk about it and take it on. misogyny is deeper. it's a form of hatred of women. it's an attitude of just such negative almost virulent dislike of women. it's rooted in power, and the power relationship. and there's a pattern to it. >> all of which, of course, was evident with harvey weinstein. it's good clinton broke her silence. of course, it is too bad she was one of the last to do so. after all, she wrote this in her book about her loss to donald trump. quote, that doesn't mean i will ever run for office again.

it does mean i will speak out on the causes i care about. one of her biggest, of course, is women'sishis. >> harvey weinstein stays accused of rape, assault, and multiple attempts to cover it all up. explosive allegations coming from this ten-month-long investigation by the new yorker. while at the same time two of hollywood's top stares. gwyneth pal row and angelina jolie are telling "the new york times" they were harassed by weinstein, too. this way of treating women ends now, paltrow says. putting other powerful men on noti notice. the new yorker article sheds light on why he was fired on sunday. the board of directors knew this story was coming. published tuesday, it says at least 11 women have come forward with misconduct allegations, including three who allege rape. one tells me i can confirm every word of it, this is our truth, she says, and it's time for the world to know. the new yorker also unearthing

audio from a new york police department sting in 2015. weinstein seemingly admitting to groping a model named amber gutierrez. >> i don't feel comfortable. >> don't have a fight with me. please, i'm not going to do anything, i swear on my children. please, come in. i'm a famous guy. >> i'm feeling very comfortable. >> please come in now, and one minute. if you want to leave when the guy comes -- >> you touched my brst. >> i'm sorry. come on, i'm used to that. >> you're used to that? >> yes, come in. >> no, but i'm not used to that. >> i won't do it again. come on. sit here. >> the manhattan d.a. sedz the recording is horrifying but wads insufficient to prove a crime. quote, if we could have prosecuted harvey weinstein for the conduct that occurred in 2015, we would have. weinstein had no comment on the tape but his spokeswoman said any algazes of nonconsensual sex are unequivocally denied by mr. weinstein. he says he believed all of these relationships were consensual.

weinstein is in counseling now and hoping for, quote, second chance from hollywood. but more and more a-listers are condemning the predatory behavior. hillary clinton, whose presidential campaign received hundreds of thousands of dollars through weinstein is peeking for the first time, saying she was shocked and appalled by the allegations. the courage of these accusers and the support of others is critical, she says, in helping to stop this kind of behavior. some much needed soul searching going on tonight, both in hollywood and in washington. and now that former president obama has weighed in, his comments will be read partly as a critique of president trump. obama saying any man who degrades or demeaned women must be held accountable. erin. >> all right, thank you very much. brian stelter. out front now, paul cowen, legal analyst, former prosecutor. and april ryan, white house correspondent for american urban networks. five days. new allegations tonight from

gwyneth paltrow, angelina jolie, disturbing, graphic allegations that are, let's be clear, rape, loud and clear. hillary clinton and the obamas five days before they spoke out. why did it take so long? >> well, let's say this. the democrats are really trying to figure out what to do. they are trying to figure out where to take the money and where the tentacles are for the money. but when it comes to former president barack obama, this is indicative of what he said before, erin. let's take you back to 2015, the summer of 2015 at a press conference that was primarily about iran. i got up and asked a question about bill cosby, and i'm sure you remember that. and he repudiated bill cosby in the same way and even more so. and this is at a time when you had several female congressional leaders calling for bill cosby to have his medal of freedom taken away from him that was

given to him by a president, given to him by a president in 2002, i believe. so this is indicative of what then-president barack obama has said before. hillary clinton being a woman, being a democrat, and being a friend of harvey weinstein, of course, people are saying this. but the democrats are trying to figure out where the tentacles are with the money, where the money is, because there's so many tentacles and how it spreads out. >> but no real -- you're not in a position to make an excuse. i'm not trying to put you in that position, april. but it did take five days for both of them. >> it did, yes. >> let's just be honest, that was too long. >> it's definitely too long. especially now that we have heard this tape. and people have said before that there has been, you know, a pattern of this, and people knew about this before. it's sad. but again, it may have taken too long, but i will say this. i did ask then-president barack

obama about bill cosby and he basically said the same thing. that was days later as we. it was going on, swirling -- >> he took his time. >> you also have to remember, yeah, they're out of the political scheme. but they are part of the democratic circle. and they did benefit. so it makes sense that they would ask, but it's also understandable why they are not necessarily pushing this forward like other people are right now. >> so paul, the allegations are lewd. all of them. and you have now gwyneth paltrow, angelina jolie and in "the new yorker" acts that i don't want to talk about, but it's rape. i want to play a specific moment from the tape. we just played part of it. i want to play a little more for everyone to hear. >> i don't feel comfortable. >> honey, don't have a fight with me. please, i'm not going to do anything. i swear on my children. please, come in. on everything, i'm a famous guy. >> i'm feeling very uncomfortable now. >> please come in now, and one

minute. if you want to leave when the guy comes with my jacket, you can go. >> you touched my breast. >> please, i'm sorry. just come on. i'm used to that. >> you're used to that? >> yes. >> but i'm not used to that. >> i won't do it again. come on. sit here. >> will he be charged for anything? >> well, it's shocking. no, i don't think he'll be charged in new york. remember, this was an investigation done in 2015. >> right. an italian actress and model that you just heard there. >> in her 20s, i think. it was a sting operation performed by nypd, new york police department. they ultimately decided presumably in consultation with the district attorney, that they couldn't make up a charge here. now, this idea of touching another person's private part without permission and authority is generally called sexual abuse or forcible touching. but i think the problem they probably had with the case was they couldn't prove that what he did was forcible. and under the new york statute, and you have to remember that these cases are looked at on a

one-by-one basis. what you can prove. what's shocking here, though, erin, is listening to the tape, it's clear that he did touch her. and it's also clear that she told the police a story that was sufficient that they wired her and sent her into the restaurant. i don't know what else they could have expected in terms of corroboration. >> here in "the new yorker" and everyone should read this article, ronan farrow writes about three women and he lists them because they're named, told me weinstein raped them. allegations of him force aenl performing or receiving sex. that is something you're saying at this point there's no repercussion other than the complete loss of his reputation and power, which ultimately seems to be what this was about for him. >> not necessarily. the statute of limitations is different in every state in the country. something that happened in california, you might have seven or eight years to bring criminal charges. in new york, this thing we're listening to the tape on would be a misdemeanor, which would be

a one or two-year statute of limitations depending upon the facts of the case. there may be criminal charges that could be brought in some jurisdictions, even new york. >> thank you both very much. >> next, breaking news on the calf wildfires consuming everything in their path. this is a winery before the fire and after it raged through. and they're not under control at all right now. the mayor of santa rosa is with is. and the nfl commissioner officially taking sides tonight, and it looks like roger goodell is on team trump. if you've been struggling with belly pain

>> yeah, erin. so i'm standing right now on a ridgetop just east of the city of santa rosa. the conditions here right now are a lot less windy than they were 24 hours ago. the 17 fires that have occurred in the last 24 hours have been wind-driven mainly. in some cases burning more than 16 miles in a 12-hour period. what we're seeing right now is more favorable conditions for firefighters to protect homes and evacuate residents. but we are concerned about some additional red flag warnings we are anticipating to come into the area tonight and tomorrow morning. >> when you talk about those red-flag areas, the pictures of destruction are just stunning here and shocking, as you point out, the speed with which this fire has moved. are you making progress containing the fires, especially as you're looking at, you're saying 17 of them and new red-flag warnings overnight? >> yeah, firefighters are actively engaged throughout the state. we have aid resources from southern california to the

oregon border fighting these fires. they're engaged in our priority, saving lives, protecting structures and resources and getting containment on some of the fires. the break in the worth today has been an opportunity to start to get some lines established. but again, this is all being tested by the fact that these winds are anticipated to return, which will be a challenge. >> and why do you think this is happening right now and moving so fast? all the wind? >> yeah, again, it's all wind-driven. cal fire responds to thousands of wildfires throughout california. 90% of the time, the fire said are kept to less than ten acres. when you have conditions where 50-mile-per-hour winds, in some cases 70-mile-per-hour winds are pushing this fire, it really is just an outflanking fire that occurs. >> all right, jonathan cox, thank you very much. we're all rooting for you all. thank you. next, the nfl commissioner telling teams players must stand for the national anthem. he appears to be on team trump.

is president trump going to win this one. >> and jeanne moos on trump's obsession with his iq. and he does it with dr. scholl's. only dr. scholl's has massaging gel insoles that provide all-day comfort to keep him feeling more energized. dr. scholl's. born to move. they put their shoulders to it. broad backs and hard will. squaring off against whatever comes next. they defied the law of gravity and went faster and farther than any one of them had ever imagined. they learned what it takes to power a dream. someone before them had discovered america, but they discovered what it means to be an american. and the thing about discovery, it has a beginning but no end. the next era belongs to those who discover again,

saying quote, we believe everyone should stand for the national anthem. we need to move past this controversy and we want to do that together with our players. this comes as president trump hosted the stanley cups and noted the patriots from the hockey players. >> just as much as your -- wins your generosity is showing the true characters of this organization. you are true true champions and incredible patriots. >> up front now. report chen koe. roger goodell saying everyone should stands for the anthem, how much of a win is this really for trump. >> i think in any case trump benefits from this, because if the nfl had pushed back against him, he has an issue to rile up his base on social media. if the nfl caves he can tweet in a few days that he saved

football. in any case, i think what trump has done successfully is distract from the original reason for the protest by the players, which is to protest racial inequality and police brutality in the united states. the argument that trump has made is that the protest dishonor the flag and disrespect the soldiers who have thougfought for it. all of the players are being explicit saying they respect the flag and that's why they're kneeling. >> and goodell, he's a pragmatic guy, is he really on team trump or is this about ratings? they have been down, so does he think this is been controversy. so let's make this about the flag and tell everyone to stand in. >> yeah i think roger goodell is going to try to play down the middle. you can see this in his letter to the 32 teams today.

i don't believe he's on team trump but i don't believe he's ready to have an honest discussion with players about the issues he's protesting. just from the letter today he said the controversy over the anthem is a barrier to have honest conversations and making real progress on the underlying issues. he's careful in that letter not to mention any of the underlying issues. this is a commissioner whose walking the line. >> he is. and when he said we believe everyone should stand for the national anthem. we talked to the a player on this show and said he was going to start kneeling, he hasn't before but he will now. >> i think the commissioner got involved because trump got involved. so many players who were not inclined to protest during the national anthem before trump got involved, now found themselves a more qualified villain to protest against. i think many players find that their owners and general managers are very committed to

their interests outside of football, and are able to have that open conversation. but when trump got involved this was something who was absolutely anti-thet call to everything they believe in and have been standing up for. >> so i have to ask you but jamel hill, suspended for two weeks yesterday for violating espn rules. she recently called trump a white supremacist. nothing happened when she did that but when she criticized a dallas coach on twitter for telling everyone to stand, that seems to be what's got her spentded. yesterday trump said on twitter with jemele hill on the mic it's no wonder nfl has tanked and it's the talk of the industry. did espn cave to the president by suspended her? >> i think i'm has been trying to figure out in the last years

what is appropriate speech coming from people that they're paying to express their opinions. in our industry at large i think there's been a movement to take the biggest personalities in sports who report the news really well, and ask those people to say more and have a louder voice. i work for peter king at sports illustrated and that's what they've asked him to do and that's what they asked jemele to do. the great irony of jemele being suspended for that is that she's sill at home and watch monday night football with hank williams performing the theme song, a man who compared obama to adolph hitler. >> thank you very much i appreciate your time. >> thank you. next the president's iq. that is the story. technical wizards. who, with the visionary engineers at ge, developed predix- giving plane engines the ability to self-diagnose problems,

and alert those who can fix them. and that's no illusion. magic can't make digital transformation happen. but we can. that's the power of pivotal, part of dell technologies.

backed me up... big time. before movantik, i tried to treat it myself. no go. but i didn't back down. i talked to my doctor. she said: one, movantik was specifically designed for opioid-induced constipation... oic. number two? my movantik savings card can save me big time over the other things i tried. don't take movantik if you have or had a bowel blockage. serious side effects include opioid withdrawal, severe stomach pain, severe diarrhea, and stomach or intestinal tears. tell your doctor about side effects and medicines you take. movantik may interact with them causing side effects. don't back down from oic. talk to your doctor about mo-van-tik. and how you can have a $0 co-pay.

>> i know i have an iq better than all of them. i guarantee you my iq is much higher tan all these people. >> it's time he was asked what experts he consults. >> i'm speaking with myself number one, because i have a very good brain. >> he's repeatedly tweeted about his very high iq. sorry losers and haters but my iq is one of the highest. now he's challenging his own secretary of state. in no time people began posing a sort of iq face off live on t.v. one night only, trump/tillerson iq test, paperer view, loser resigns. at least rex tillerson didn't use these words to describe the president. >> what are you. >> an idiot sandwich. >> take it from one of the smartest people on earth when asked his i kwrk.

>> people who boast about their iq are losers. >> jennie moss, cnn, new york. >> jennie, all right. thank you so much for joining us. you can watch any time anywhere on cnn go. "ac 360" starts with anderson now. we begin tonight with breaking news on the wildfire in the wine country. the fast moving flames were consuming the equivalent of a football field every three seconds. cnn's ryan young is on the fire. he joins us now. what have you been seeing around you on the ground? >> reporter: anderson, it's just amazing. whether you watch that video you get sort of an idea of what it was like. when you stand here it blows your mind. this was an entire neighborhood. in fact we're standing right in front of a home. this garage is just what's left. we saw a
