good evening. we begin tonight with breaking news on the wildfires in the wine country and all across the state. at one point the fast moving flames were consuming the ekwif 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 file cabinet back there. it's the only thing we can make of the home. it's weird, the only thing that survived in the neighborhood are the trees. you look at this car, it's stuck in the middle of the road. you can only hope the people made it out.
9:03 pm
even the tires have totally disintegrated at this point. we were looking at the damage walking through, the idea of 15 people died. 183 people still missing. we've been told by officials they don't believe all 183 people are dead. there have been some communication issues around this area because the fire was so intense it hit some of the towers. but if you think about 2,000 structures have been destroyed and 0% of the fire has been contained. this scene sort of repeats itself over and over again as we have been driving through the area. this looks like someone dropped a bomb in certain areas, anderson, as it's been so powerful. as we look back at this direction, even as we're talking right now, there is smouldering still going on. the firefighters told us this is an active fire they're still fighting right now. >> as i understand it the police tonight are saying the area you are is still not safe, right? >> reporter: absolutely. as we walk back in this direction, anderson, you'll notice people are kind of
9:04 pm
popping up everywhere. one of the things that police officers told us is not only is this an active fire situation because there are 17 fires active right now, they are so stretched thin they want us to know there are looters as well. and as we came into this area, they wanted us to know we're on our own should anything happen because of that fact they are trying to case people out of here at the same time keep people safe. this is one of those situations when you stand here and realize how much has destroyed, you get the idea why everybody's so thin. >> did you say there's zero percent containment at this point? >> reporter: that's what we were told. some of these firefighters are going on their 16/17th-hour shift. the winds have died down, this is given a chance for firefighters to get ahold of that. as we were coming in we saw the lights and sirens pushing to the front lines in certain areas. again, we were told active
9:05 pm
situation, be very careful. now to politics, the president doing what we reported last night. taking another shot at senator bob corker. chairman corker spoke out against the president on sunday talking with the "new york times," raising his concerns about the president's temperament, his judgment and possibilities unintentionally setting the stage for world war iii. he also said this, i don't know why the president tweets out things that are not true. you know he does it, everyone knows he does it, but he does. this morning the president said something in a tweet that was demonstratively false and attacked his height. the president tweeted, the failing at "new york times" said little bob corker up by recording his conversation, was made to sound a fool and that's what i'm dealing with." it's hard to believe how recording the senator make him say something he didn't want to
9:06 pm
say. keep in mind the president's tweet is not true in any fact. the only set up involving the times and the senator agreeing in advance to record the conversation. here he is talking about it with the "times" john mortar. >> i know they record it and i hope you are too. >> yeah, i am. >> so when the president tweeted this morning he was tweeting a falsehood. and when white house press secretary sarah huckabee-sanders was asked about the president's broader complaint, she said this. >> look, senator corker is certainly entitled to his own opinion but he's not entitled to his own facts. >> well, that goes for the president, too. by the way, senator corker told the "times" most of his colleagues agree with the assessment of trump. we invited each and every republican senator on the program tonight. none of them said yes. invitation stands. jonathan martin joining us. as you heard spoke with senator corker, he's also the cnn political director.
9:07 pm
jonathan, do you have any idea what the president was talking about when he claims senator corker was setup by the "times?" >> i can't explain that. the senator not only knew he was being taped, he asked to be taped by me. and the reason he did that is because he wanted to make a point, he wanted to make news here. he very purposefully said what he said because he recognizes that this president responds to intervention via the media more than he does private conversations. and that's why senator corker spoke so forcefully and did so on the record with me in our taped phone conversation. >> and david, yet again you have the president of the united
9:08 pm
states mocking somebody for his height. we saw him on the campaign mocking someone for a disability, going after john mccain, all sorts of things. >> also in the campaign, marco got the little marco as well. these nicknames he sees as a branding exercise, hoping to gain advantage. i don't know what it does to actually accomplish his goals. anderson, what i think makes this scenario different than a back and forth and name-calling and corker's tweet versus trump's tweet is what you and jonathan were mentioning as well that corker wanted to speak and not just for himself, but clearly in talking to jonathan wanted to speak for the whole conference. even if you read the transcript told jonathan, i know if you go and ask these other guys, these senators, they're not going to come and say these same words. he was trying to provide the conscious of the senate in his
9:09 pm
mind knowing he was politically liberated to do so by not running again the way his colleagues are not. >> given the actions by this president time and time again, to kind of just play this off is oh, this is yet another twitter war like a fight between melania trump and ivana trump yesterday, when you actually sit down and think about it i'm wondering when you have the conversation in that moment, just how stunning it is what senator corker is saying about the president of the united states risking world war iii, about him lying, not telling the truth in tweets repeatedly, that corker knew for a fact that every day the people of the white house are trying to contain the president from his own worst impulses. it's extraordinary. >> you just mentioned three of the moments when i was on the phone with the senator when i was typing and taking notes from
9:10 pm
the conversation. but i was really struck by what he said. especially the world war iii part, because this is not just some freshman member of the congress who is looking to get some attention. this is position posed in congress been held by a number of influential people in history. and when i was listening to that conversation i kind of knew what i was hearing would stand for posterity and the charges he was making were very much premeditated. as you point out, he did want to speak out on behalf of a lot of his colleagues who are restained about what they can and cannot say. him sort of blowing the whistle on what a lot of folks in washington say what no one wants to put on the record, certainly not senators, and that is the fact that while he is the president of the united states,
9:11 pm
president trump in a lot of ways is controlled or minded by a codary of retired generals and senior officials who basically have to protect him from himself and in effect guard the country and the world from the elected president of the united states. those are his words. that's what he's saying, and that's an extraordinary charge to make. and it's putting on the record a kind of ten-month long conversation that's been taking place in washington about who actually is running the country. >> and david, no senators would come on tonight to discuss it. >> nor has anyone come out publicly to echo the sentiments at all of what corker said. nobody has sort of said let me associate myself with my colleague's remarks. i fully agree with what he's saying. this notion that bob corker gave voice to something that is said in private, that's why it's so damning is because these are
9:12 pm
conversations that have been happening in private. and one senator now gives it voice in public, but you're not -- you're not going to find his colleagues running to sort of let me add my voice to that. they don't want to do that, although i will tell you there are several republicans i've spoken with in the last couple of days that are quite glad the conversation is in the open now about sounding the alarm about what corker said last week, which is people separating the country from chaos, this notion of controlling the president. coming up next, the president challenges his secretary of state to compare iq's. the white house press secretary calls it a joke. we've got new reporting of whether it was a joke. and later all the accusers coming forward in the stories of sexual avances and even sexual harassment, telling of their encounter with harvey weinstein. and also late reaction from president obama and ms. obama

9:16 pm
before the break we talked about president trump's latest jab at a member of his own party. now a poke at a member at his own cabinet. he's been steaming at fact that rex tillerson called him a moron. president trump saying quote, i think it's fake news but if he did that, i guess we're going to have to compare iq tests, and can tell you who's going to win. >> again, he wasn't questioning the secretary of state's intelligence. he made a joke. maybe you guys should get a sense of humor and try it sometime. >> put aside for a second how many times the president and his staff have tried to use the
9:17 pm
joking excuse to get out of hot-water. the source telling jim, he spouted off about the iq test because he was mad, and the whole ike insult, it's one of the president's favorite go-tos. and went to the ivy league school, the warten school of finance. i know are i have an iq better than all of them. i know that. i guarantee you my iq much higher than there's. guvmer perry, he made nasty statements about me and i challenged his iq. let's do ike tests. some of the pundits, you know the guys -- believe me i'm much smarter than them. i want to match my iq with some of those guys, all of them. >> he's joking, right? so randall, when the president
9:18 pm
said this, was he joking? >> i listened to the tape just before coming on here to get the nuance. i laughed when he said it, he did not laugh. sole i guess it's a judgment call only president trump knows. when i first asked secretary tillerson, he paused and thought about his answer and gave a more vague answer. i asked him about the moron comment and he immediately went into it's fake news but maybe we have to take an iq test, then he paused and laughed and said i would win it. he doesn't laugh very much, but just because he didn't laugh doesn't mean it's not a joke. >> the amount of times he talks about going to an ivy league school, he's smart, he has a high iq. >> don't forget about the hand
9:19 pm
sips. sis a guy who wants to measure everything. and he thinks somehow it can be measured and everyone will accept the results and he will always prove to be the brightest, the biggest. >> every smart person i know or rich person i know does not talk about how rich they are or how smart they are. >> we've been doing the forbes 500 list for 34 years. the very first list trump was on it. trump is worth $5 million on two. of the 600 people on the list, we've said it very many years the person who cares most about his net worth is donald trump. >> this does keep us from talking about his charge that president trump wiretapped trump tower. we don't talk about the fact he said millions of illegal immigrants voted in the election when they didn't. so there is this haze of
9:20 pm
distraction that he's throwing up. but i think randall got at the real man. this is definitely who donald trump is. a bragging, exaggerating, off on tangents but certain he's right about everything. >> one of the things senator corker was saying ubhim is he's playing the mad man and tillerson's -- that's not true. he's basically reacting in the moment. i'm not sure he's consciously thinking oh, i will challenge the iq of my secretary of state and that will create a diversion. >> i actually asked him whether or not when he under cut north korea whether he was neutering his chief diplomat, and he said, no, no i was strengthsing. there's no way to negotiate if the person you're negotiating with thinks you cannot deliver what you say. and he said as much in our
9:21 pm
interview, he's decided in a day he strengthen himself and there's no doubt he weakened tillerson. >> he wrote he views governing the way he does business as an endless string of deals to be won or loss both at the negotiating table and in the court of public opinion. >> that's exactly right. i think randall hit a home run with this article. he got the president at his trumpiest. this is fellow who thinks that america's interests are the same as his interests and whatever he says is the policy must certainly be right. now, in the long-term the united states needs to deal with technology issues, needs to deal with energy issues. we see in the front page of the "the new york times" today that china is leaping ahead of us in the production of electric cars. these are profound long-term issues but we have a person focused on the next moment, not on the next week.
9:22 pm
>> what i was struck with most in the article the idea that contin continuity, administration's change but policy evolves. the previous administration honors the deals. aga again, it doesn't mean you don't tweak them, but there is a consistency. and he doesn't believe that. on obamacare, he's acting -- he has an obligation until we have something else to try and make obamacare work. he said whatever happens it will be obama's fault. it will never be our fault. this administration is new deal literally for donald trump where he thinks he gets to revise everything. >> fascinating interview. coming up next exclusive new allegations against hollywood mogul harvey weinstein as audio

9:27 pm
our girls and teaching our boys decency and respect so we can make such behavior less prevalent in the future. hillary clinton also released a statement today. quote, i was shocked and appalled by the revelations about harvey weinstein. meanwhile the list of hollywood accusers is now growing and includes big names. randy cay tonight has new developments. >> reporter: he allegedly preyed on some of the biggest names in hollywood. actress ashley judd said film producer harvey weinstein asked if she could give him a massage or watch him shower. when gwyneth paltrow was just 22 she told "the new york times" he suggested -- angelina jolie told
9:28 pm
the times he made unwanted advances towards her back in the 1990s. and also another actress weinstein harassed her, chasing her around the hotel room. weinstein assaulted and harassed at least 20 women over the years according to "the new yorker" and "the new york times." just today "the new yorker" releasedado of weinstein trying to convince a model to come to his hotel room in manhattan a day after he allegedly forcibly groped her. the disturbing conversation caught on tape during a sting operation by the nypd in march 2015. >> what do we have to do here? >> nothing. i'm going to take a shower. you sit there.
9:29 pm
just sit with me. don't embarrass me. >> i am very comfortable now. >> please come in now. >> reporter: in another incident detailed in the "the new yorker," lucia evans says she was assaulted by weinstein back in 2004 when she was still in college. it happened during a meeting arranged by one of weinstein's assistants, which is how many of these meetings came to be. after he told her about two scripts, she says she forced him to perform oral sex on him. one accusers said weinstein cornered her in a hotel a decade ago and masturbated in front of her. >> that's where he cornered me in this vestibule and leaned in and tried to kiss me. that's when he blocked the entrance or exit for me and said, well, then just stand
9:30 pm
there and be quiet. he immediately exposed himself and, you know, began pleasuring himself. >> reporter: in response to "the new york times" investigation harvey weinstein issued a statement saying i appreciate the way i behave with colleagues in the past has caused a lot of pain, and i sincerely apologized for it. he promised he was working with therapists and would deal with this issue head on. a spokesman told the new yorker, any allegations of nonconsensual sex are unequivocally denied by mr. weinstein. the spokesperson says weinstein is hoping for a second chance. a second chance? weinstein has already been fired from the weinstein companies, a stunning blow to one of the biggest names in hollywood, a man some women say subjected to them to what they called turn
9:31 pm
down duty. according to "the new york times," that meant preparing harvey weinstein for sleep, with weinstein at times appearing naked in front of them and requiring them to be present for bathing or massages. all of this for years an open secret in hollywood. >> congratulations, you five ladies no longer have to pretend to be attracted to harvey weinstein. >> reporter: what was once a joke on the oscar stage now revealed as a horrible truth as the allegations grow. randy cay, cnn, new york. >> joining me now keirsten powers and jeffrey toobin. some very serious allegations including three women who say that he raped them. i mean is he going to face charges? >> he may well. and the real question is why hasn't he faced them before? because given the volume and the fact that cyrus -- the manhattan
9:32 pm
district attorney had one chance to do it but didn't do it and apparently left a serial rapist to roam manhattan for years. the first account, the first story in the "the new yorker" is of a clear sexual assault in manhattan in i think it's 2004. but there is no statute of limitations in new york state. not in new york state. and where is law enforcement on this? i think they've been totally asleep at the switch. >> it is incredible, keirsten, how someone like this is insulated. it's an open secret in hollywood oh, that he did this, and whether it's because of his power in hollywood or his power in the political realm with friends with the clintons and obamas and a big liberal donor, it's stunning. >> i think the power is the main thing. when i was reading "the new
9:33 pm
yorker" article, you had women that were basically terrified. very similar in the sense if you went up against harvey weinstein they would possibly ruin you, plant bad things about you in the media. that was always a fear for the women at fox as well, that that would happen. but the hr department was basically complicit. if you want to complain, go straight to harvey. it was the same exact institutional setup and driven by the fact this person had so much power no one wanted to take them on and so vindictive. >> and used it -- that statement was such allie in so many respects. when she talks about her career suffer, patricia arket talked about how her career suffered. >> i also find it hard to find
9:34 pm
that people in the company didn't know, that they're coming forward and making allegations. >> and buy he was part of disney for some of this period. so where was disney in all of this? but the institutional failures here are so great. and by the way, i don't think we can give the clintens and obamas a pass here. as that seth macfarlane joke illustrates a lot of people knew or had very strong suspicions that this was a very bad guy. notwithstanding that, the obamas and clintons embraced him, did fund raisers with him, paid tribute to him. i think it's a dark mark on their record. >> you said patricia arket, but it's -- hopefully it's some sort of turning point, but do you think it actually is? >> it definitely feels like our culture is starting to take this
9:35 pm
more seriously. but i do think there are little mini-harvey weinstein's all over the place. i do think these kinds of things happen and people look the other way if it's a powerful person that can help them. and look at how slow the hollywood men were to come out and condemn this, people who knew this was going on and frankly how slow hillary clinton and barack obama were to come out and condemn it. it's been five days. >> the timing of their regret means less to me than the fact they associated with him in the first place. and as we talk about progress in society with roger ales, with bill cosby with harvey weinstein, we can't forget one guy got elected president of the united states. so it can't be that the country takes all that seriously because 65 million people voted for that guy. >> i think we have a broader problem in the country with

9:40 pm
you don't often expect the environmental protection agency to be involved in action many believe would hurt the environment. today, though, epa chief scott pruitt signed a proposed rule. that move grabbed a lot of attention, but there's something else mr. pruitt's done that slipped under the radar, the decision to let the protections of a pristine area in alaska that could pave the way for a massive new mine there, a mine that could threaten a salmon fishery. here's cnn's chief investigative correspondent drew griffon. >> reporter: the meeting at epa headquarters was brief and to the point. by the time it ended a mining company wanting to dig for gold and copper got just what it wanted. on may 1st asked newly appointed
9:41 pm
epa administrator scott pruitt to withdraw environmental restrictions on bristol bay. they were put there by the obama administration to stop that company from building a massive mine. pruitt quickly agreed. at 1036 taem eastern, little more than an hour epa officials were shocked to receive this e-mail obtained ox us cloofbly by cnn that says we have been directed by the administrator to withdraw restrictions. pruitt opened the door for what the epa feared could become one of the largest open pit miles in the world in an extremely sensitive watershed in alaska. what's more, according to multiple sources he made that decision without a briefing from any of epa's scientists or
9:42 pm
experts. >> absolutely, i met with mr. pruitt. >> reporter: for pebble limited partnership ceo tom collier, it was a huge win. and it comes with no apologies. and do you think it was not wrong that mr. pruitt did not even look at the work that had been done. the optics on this look -- >> the optics on this are right. went him to an administrator and got him to reverse what an entire department had worked for years. >> then what you're glasses on because you're not seeing the right optics. >> reporter: it's called a clean water act designation, so rare it's only happened like this one other time in the epa's history. it was put on bristol bay, alaska specifically to stop pebble mine even before its owners applied for a mining permit. the minors sued for epa saying
9:43 pm
it wasn't treated fairly. and the same morning pruitt met with with the mining company he also agreed to settle that lawsuit as well. to understand the significance of pruitt's decisions that day, you must first understand why the protections were put on bristol bay in the first place. bristol bay and its tributaries are home to one of the world's largest and pristine salmon fisheries, almost half of the world's sockeye salmon come from here. this is among one of the last places on the earth like this, an intact ecosystem supporting over 50,000 salmon part of a life and indigenous culture that stretches back more than 2,000 yards. northern dynasty minerals in 2011 filed a mine building assessment. the mine could potentially create a footprint bigger than
9:44 pm
the island of manhattan and nearly as deep as the grand canyon accord to the epa. an alarm went off. after a three-year study the epa published a report showing pollution from the mine would result in complete loss of fish hab tit with the potential to destroy 94 miles of streams and tributaries and an additional 4,900 acres above bristol bay. the epa said all these losses would be irreversible. the fishing industry here employs 14,000 people. no one knows how many jobs would be lost if the fish vanished. >> it's a uniquely bad place geologically to put this kind of thing. protecting it works. patching it together afterwards doesn't work. >> reporter: one of the scientist's whose work was used thane that study was -- quin.
9:45 pm
>> this is the jewel and crown of america's fishing resources, the salmon. if you don't think this is worth saving, what is? and if you don't think there's danger in this, you simply haven't looked it at carefully. >> reporter: a briefing book being prepared for scott pruitt wasn't even finished when pruitt had made his decision. the scientists never got the chance to brief the administrator. unbeknownst to many at the epa lobbyists for the mine had already been lobbying to overturn their work, lobbying trump's epa transition team even before scott pruitt was sworn in. >> but it sounds like you do have a friend in the administrator. without even a half-hour of looking at the science, he said we're going to remove this determination. >> so the premise of your
9:46 pm
question offends me. >> because? >> because i don't have a friend at epa. what i've got is someone following the damn law for the first time. that's not a friend. and the issue was not a scientific issue. the issue was a due process issue. >> reporter: former epa melissa -- it is why she officially approved the protection. and like many at the epa is stunned it all could be so easily unden at the bidding of a mining company. >> this wasn't about epa taking an extraordinary proactive step on its own. it was really about using a tool to provide certainty to those alaskan native villages and all those people that rely on that resource for their jobs and
9:47 pm
economy, that we were being protective of that ecological resource. >> it by our reporting took one election and one half-hour meeting to overturn everything you did. >> yeah. i spent a whole lot more time on it than that, and it was a -- it is a very big decision and one that deserved really thoughtful discussion between the career and political staff. >> reporter: scott pruitt declined an interview, but in a statement the meeting with the mining company, was an opportunity for administrator pruitt to let pebble limited partnership know they were simply being granted a fair opportunity to apply to build the mine. and adds scott pruitt did not prejudge the outcome of the process nor make a final decision. the statement went onto say epa's review will be based on
9:48 pm
the whole record, all the science and an alcohol proposal from the company. >> but he made that decision, right, after a half-hour meeting of a guy who wants to mine gold in one of the areas many scientists believe will destroy one of the most pristine sockeye areas in the whole world. what am i missing? >> what you're missing is then we won't get a permit. >> reporter: that its policy is work in a safe environmentally responsible manner. >> you know that mining is a dirty business no matter how you get around it. >> i don't buy that for a second. >> are you telling me you're going to be able to have put a clean mine up there that's going to have no effect on anyone's hab tit? >> exactly. >> reporter: and if they get the permit and the mine gets built -- >> i find that a horrifying
9:49 pm
prospect. take the place in the world you love best and you value most, take the most beautiful and special place you can conceive and then think of the most devastating thing you could do that to that place. you would be horrified just as i am. >> what's the reaction been to all this? >> quite frankly, anderson, it has been out rage. tomorrow and thursday the epa is going to hold hearings in alaska on this change of plans. we've heard several groups protest. the united tribes are going to flood the meetings. we've also heard from the fishery industries. it seems like this is a done deal again with almost no discussion the mining company ceo told us he is going to have a proposal in place for a planning mine submitted in december. up next breaking news out of las vegas. new details on what investigators found out of his
