3:03 am
sense the republican party has been doing a lot of work in the neighborhoods and has the lists of voters and operation to turn out the vote. donald trump need that. does he need every republican behind him. no. does he need to do anything that would lose the passion of the people who voted for him. he probably doesn't want to. but he can't totally dismiss the party. >> on the democratic side, his ear clinton told you she its not running against donald trump. what did she mean? a awe what hillary clinton is trying to do is show she has her own separate agenda. she and her campaign know they're going to get into a back and forth with donald trump. they're in one. what she doesn't, don't want to have happen. have people look up and think after months of squabbling there its no center to her campaign. she is going to say she is running her campaign focused on the voters and try to leave trump to the super pacs and also if he ever attacks her always try and bring it back to theish use. so she can keep focusing things on what the voters care about. >> john dickerson in washington. for us, john. thank you.

the massive wildfire in alberta, canada continues to grow. it is already burned 400,000 acres and destroyed more than 1600 homes and businesses. officials fear it could still double in size. smoke from the fires is raising serious environmental concerns and not just locally, smoke has been detected as far away as florida. ben tracy in wood buffalo, alberta, ben, are fire crews having any success? >> they're trying to. back here you can see the helicopter about to drop water on the, on the woods there on fire. the good news is we were just told that all 25,000 people who originally fled north of fort mcmurray to find themselves trapped has now safely made it south of the town to evacuation centers. so, that its very good news. as for the fires so big they say it may cross into saskatchewan, a province next to alberta. fed by strong winds that don't give. the flames rise several feet in

the air. chewing through the forest. the wildfire is so massive and hot it is really hard to fight on the ground. so for the most part, being waged in the air. with planes dropping fire retardant and helicopters dropping water. if there is any good news, it is that winds are pushing the flames await from fort mcmurray and other towns that were threatened. the weather is also improved a bit. temperatures have fallen dramatically. and that should help slow down the fire. but officials say this will keep burning for months until they get torrential rain in this area. >> ben is there any sense of when people will be able to return to fort mcmurray? >> i think the short answer its no time soon. large parts of the town have been destroyed. there its no drinkable water, electricity, gas lines have been cult. we were told by the police that one person actually snuck back into fort mcmurray and tried to set his house on fire to claim insurance money. so those are some of the things they're dealing with here. but they have been pretty honest with the folks. we talked to people at an evacuation center.

3:30 am
welcome to the overnight news. the push to unite the republican party behind donald trump takes a key step this week. the presumptive presidential nominee will meet with house speaker paul ryan on thursday. ryan, the highest ranking republican in washington says he is not ready to support trump for president. meanwhile, trump's likely democratic opponent hillary clinton is laying out her strategy for the general election. clinton spoke with john dickerson on face the nation. >> secretary clinton you said donald trump is a loose cannon, you said he is dangerous. are you suggesting he is not of sound mind? >> i think that being a loose
3:31 am
cannon means saying that other nations should go ahead and acquire nuclear weapons for themselves, when that is the last thing we need in the world today. being a loose cannon is saying we should pull out of nato. the strongest military alliance in the history of the world. and something that we really need to modernize but not abandon. i think saying that he is a loose cannon really focuses on some of the statements he has made which i find concerning. going back to torture. killing terrorist's families which would be a war crime. and those are just some of the concerns that i hear people talking about which i think does fit the definition of a loose cannon. >> but you are not making any claims about his underlying stability? >> i'm talking about what he has said in this campaign. and continues to say. and the kind of agenda he is
3:32 am
putting forth for our country which obviously i think would, not be in the best interest. >> what do you take away from the republican race now that it is over? >> willell i have to say, the republicans themselves are raising questions about their presumptive nominee. and i think that's in large measure, john, because they do understand how hard the job of being president is. when you have former presidents, when you have high ranking republican officials in congress raising questions about their nominee i don't think it's personal so much as rooted in their respect for the office and their deep concern about what kind of leader he would be. >>-up ha you have said he shoul asked hard questions since he is in the general election. give me three hard questions he
3:33 am
should be asked. >> when he says that americans don't need a raise. that's why he doesn't believe we should raise the minimum wage. what's that based on? because if you look at the -- evidence, and more than evidence, if you listen to the stories, as i have now for more than a year, of so many americans who haven't had a raise in 15 years. it raises serious issues about you know how well he understands what's happening in the economy to working people. >> so his answer would be, he wants to create jobs. and those jobs will raise wages. that would be. he is going to ask the question. he just has a different view? >> he doesn't have a view. he has the a slogan. he needs to be really pressed on that. when he says climate change is a chinese hoax. what does that mean? has he talked to a scientist or just again assuming a slogan. when he said it is women should be punished for having abortions. what does that mean? and how would he go about that? or rounding up 11 million, 12
3:34 am
million people which he again repeated. which would entail the most comprehensive police and military action inside our borders that is imaginable. and you combine that with a lot of what he has the said about foreign policy. recently economic policy when he said he would renegotiate the national debt. maybe he doesn't understand that -- that running our government is not the same as making real estate deals. that -- putting the full faith and credit of the united states of america at risk would be a horrible outcome and would raise interest rates it would wipe away savings, cause a financial global meltdown. people need to be pressing him. and i don't think people get, especially in the media the at least so far, into other than just the, response which, then, then, is not followed up on. >> one of the things people said
3:35 am
about this race with respect to donald trump or even with respect to your race against bernie sanders is that specifics and details. voters want what they want. details and some times specifics are brought out, discussed fact checked and people want the canned tate they want. >> i can only tell you my experience which led to my putting out specific plans saying how i would pay for them. and as we sit here today, i have 3 million more volts than senator sanders and 2 million more votes than donald trump. so clearly there is a constituency for a candidate who says, look, we don't just diagnose the problem we offer solutions for the problem. because i want to run on agenda that the american people can hold me accountable for. you can go to hillaryclinton.com and read about my plans to make college affordable, to improve the affordable care act, what to do about climate change, how to
3:36 am
create more infrastructure, manufacturing, clean energy jobs and everything else that i have laid out. and exactly how i would pay for any new initiative. >> clinton also addressed the controversy over her use of a private e-mail server during her time as secretary of state. the fbi is investigating if the security of classified here is more of her conversation with john dickerson. >> let me ask you about developments of the investigation into your e-mail server. apparently the fbi contacted your team in terms of contacting to you. what can you tell us about that? >> no one has reached out to me yet. last summer, last august i made it clear i am mr. noon ready to talk to anybody anytime. i have encouraged all of, you know, my assistants and, to be very forthcoming. and i hope that this close to being wrapped up. off a nobody said hillary clinton we would look to sit down and talk
3:37 am
to you from the fbi. >> no. >> if voters are thinking of you versus donald trump. some voters may be paying attention now in a different kind of way. what is your answer to those people who think fbi inquiry, that's a big deal. what do you say to them? >> i say what i have said now for many, many months. it its a security inquiry. i always took classified materials seriously. there was never any material, marked classified, that was sent or received biy me. and i look forward to this being wrapped up. >> people think, well she might be president. what has she learned? >> that was a mistake. and i will say it again as often as i need to. seemed like a convenient idea at the time that certainly was not. so, i always take classified material seriously. there is no argument about that. that i am aware of. and i will continue to do so. and within whatever parameters are required for the president
3:38 am
which i know a little bit about having served with president obama. >> to watch hillary clinton's full can a toothpaste do everything well? this clean was like pow! it added this other level of clean to it. it just kinda like...wiped everything clean. 6x cleaning my teeth are glowing. they are so white. 6x whitening i actually really like the 2 steps. step 1, cleans step 2, whitens. every time i use this together, it felt like... ...leaving the dentist office. crest hd. 6x cleaning, 6x whitening i would switch to crest hd over what i was using before. hey spray 'n wash is back...ews? and even better. it's powerful formula removes everyday stains the first time. which is bad news for stains, and good news for you. spray 'n wash. back 'n better. the strength test.. like leather, skin is stronger when it's hydrated. that's why dove men+care bodywash has a unique hydrating

3:43 am
do you see this as a temporary phenomenon? >> no, this is no blip. a seismic shift. >> reporter: social psychologist susan newman says change on the american home front started with a revolution in the american work place. >> i think the omening up of careers and jobs for women actually paved the way more than anything else. women are staying in school longer. they're starting jobs but staying in them, getting themselves established on a career path if that's what they want. >> 40 is the new 30. everybody is older. if you have somebody that is 28. like a teen pregnancy. >> reporter: dr. joanne stone its director of maternal fetal medicine at mount sinai hospital in new york city. she says, waiting has its risks. >> so one in five couples who are over 40 will have infertility. >> reporter: for those who do get pregnant.
3:44 am
>> the woman who is 40, may have a one in 50 chance that the fetus may have chromosomal abnormality. medical combinations are higher as well. developing high blood pressure. developing diabetes during pregnancy. premature birth. stillbirth is higher. >> reporter: with medical advances the odds of limiting those risks have gotten better. so have the odds of actually conceiving. if you can kind of rattle off the ways one can get pregnant these days? >> so, there still its the old-fashioned, good old way of getting pregnant. >> sex. >> sex, right. probably the most fun way of getting pregnant. there is seeking fertility treatment. so using your own eggs, but maybe getting a little help with either some oral medication or injections and insemination. or there is in vitro fertilization can involve your own eggs, could involve frozen, frozen eggs or embryos from an
3:45 am
earlier time period or there is also the option for donor eggs. >> reporter: the use of assisted reproductive technology has more than tripled in the past two decades. but it can cost tens of thousands of dollars. and it's not always covered by insurance. still. >> having the ability to freeze eggs and embryos and make the decision when i was ready. ready as i was ever going to be. i couldn't have done it without science. >> reporter: on the day we met dr. stone, sunny was visited by 45-year-old patient. susan wils. a single mother pregnant again. her first child almost 2 and a half. >> you are feeling okay? >> yeah, i feel fine. >> baby looks perfect. good fluid. >> i didn't want to not have children. because i didn't meet the right guy. >> reporter: she relied on her backup plan instead. at 40, she froze embryos. her own eggs matched with sperm from a hand picked donor.
