missed. >> six children shocked by electricity, all expected to be okay. >> fallout over a video showing an american hunter, killing a bear with a speer. >> all that -- >> in oklahoma, a bus driver trying and failing to avoid a car. >> along the right-field line, and rizzo on the left. he got it! oh, what a play. >> all that matters. >> where will you go now? >> "cbs this morning," man. >> i feel like i can hang around and -- >> when we need a co-host. >> norah isn't here. >> nor ha, is she coming back? >> on "cbs this morning." >> simone biles continues to be the sweetheart of the game. she picked up her record tying 4th gold medal in a single olympiad. >> dynamic, it takes your breath away. >> she stumbled yesterday on beams, but that one, just about

perfect. >> this morning's eye-opener is presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." norah o'donnell is off. margaret brennan is with us. >> not larry wilmorwilmore. a dangerous wildfire has exploded in size and affects more than 80,000 people. the blue cut fire covers around 18,000 acres, east of los angeles. a portion of the main highway from l.a. to las vegas, is closed. >> more than 80,000 people are under evacuation orders right now. flames destroyed entire neighborhoods. some firefighters have been injured. the fire is 0% contained. carter evans is about 40 miles from los angeles, where the governor has declared a state of emergency. >> reporter: good morning. everywhere you look, it is home after home, just like these, burned to the ground. this fire started at around

10:30 yesterday morning. we watched as it exploded to about 9,000 acres before sundown. the battle continued through the night, and it is far from over. huge flames lit the night sky, as the blue cut wildfire continued its relentless advance. it only took a matter of hours for the fire to explode to thousands of acres tuesday afternoon, burning entire neighborhoods to the ground, and destroying the legendary summit inn, a local landmark since 1952. >> firefighters can't make their way here. the flames just too intense. >> reporter: thick smoke filled the skies above san bernardino county, the wildfire grew quickly by dry brush and 100 degrees temperatures. >> this is a huge, huge fire fight out here. >> reporter: this fire is so hot, i can feel the heat radiating behind me, but also moved extremely fast and spread fire resources very thin.

you can see this home is fully involved right now, and there is not a firefighter in sight. >> it spots ahead of itself, keeps moving, keeps leap frogging up. >> the motor home just blew up. the car just caught on fire. >> reporter: six firefighters were briefly trapped by the flames, two of them suffered minor injuries. >> just because of the wind direction, we were fully engulfed with smoke, visibility was extremely low. it was really hard to see your hand in front of your face. we hunkered down and waited until the fire blew over. >> reporter: we found these men working to protect their neighbors' homes. where are the firefighters? >> up there with the fire, i guess. >> reporter: what is it like fighting the fire. >> part of living here. >> reporter: what is it like as a firefighter as you see these people watching their homes burn and nothing you can do. >> tragic. something that firefighters hate to see. >> reporter: this is just one of nine fires burning around

california right now. there is a big one around sacramento, that's about 35% contained. we've learned more about the man accused of setting that fire. he was trained as a inmate firefighter, while he was in prison. now he is scheduled to be arraigned today. >> carter, thank you. donald trump is overhauling his top political staff again. his campaign confirmed the changes overnight. promoting an advisor and hiring the executive chairman of a conservative website. steffen bannon of breitbart news becomes the ceo, while kellyanne conway becomes campaign manager. paul manafort remains campaign ch chairman. major garrett covered last night's trump rally in west bend, wisconsin. he is with us this morning from milwaukee. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. donald trump is on his third campaign manager. first, corey lewandowski, then

manafort, and he is now out in part of a scandal in ukraine and off the book payments to manafort. before that news broke, trump gave a speech here he hoped would appeal to african-american voters by accusing hillary clinton and the democratic party in general of being indifferent to inner city poverty. >> to every voter living in the inner city, or every forgotten stretch of our society, i'm running to offer you a much better future. >> reporter: donald trump tried to diversify his political movement by condemning what he called decades of failed democratic urban rule. >> i'm asking for the vote of every african-american citizen struggling in our country today who want a different and much better future. >> reporter: the message was new, but the audience was typical. overwhelmingly white. a recent poll shows trump attracting just 2% of african-american voters.

less than half when mitt romney got exit polls from the 2012 election. >> we will reject bigotry, hatred and oppression in many of its ugly forms. >> reporter: from the far of the campaign, trump has drawn criticism for racism insensitivity. >> he is a mexican. >> look at my african-american over here. look at him. are you the greatest? >> reporter: this time, trump re-kindled a long running policies are to blame. >> the african-american community has been taken for granted for decades by the democratic party, and look how they're doing. >> reporter: electing hillary clinton would further inflame racial tensions. >> we reject the bigotry of hillary clinton, which panders to and talks down to communities of color, and sees them only as votes, that's all they care about. >> reporter: trump has rejected numerous opportunities to

deliver a blemessage like this the naacp. trump will receive his first classified intelligence briefing as the republican party nominee. >> thanks, major. republican strategist and cbs contributor, frank luntz is with us. >> you don't do it. you have additions, that's traditional in politics, as you get closer to the election, you add mortal length. you don't have a shake-up, take the top person and push them aside as they did to paul manafort. steve bannon in particular, he is one of the toughest, most aggressive, most negative operatives in america today. that signals to me that trump, rather than softening his approach, is going to double down of being the tough, in your face campaigner, and i don't think that's what donald trump needs. these are independent, undecided voter he is going after. they appreciate his message, but they question he himself. they don't like the persona, they don't like the anger, the hatred. they want change in washington.

they want change in wall street. they think he can bring it, but don't like him as a person. >> what about kellyanne conway, she has worked with other political campaigns. >> i've known her for 30 years, this is someone who understands polling, focus group, messaging. the question is will donald trump listen to her. does donald trump listen to anyone. his message still resonates. his message is stronger than hillary clinton. his persona is so upsetting to so many people, that's what is holding him back. if you take a look at the polling over the last two weeks, when donald trump finished his convention, he was up by two points. today, he is down by eight. it is all because of his persona, not his policies, and not the issues that he has talked about. >> does it deepen the divide within the republican party or mend fences? >> it depends on what trump does and says. they want him to be prepared for the debate. they want him to take the campaign against hillary clinton. every time he is talking about gold star moms, every time he is

talking about second amendment and agitating people, every time it is about this conversation right now, donald trump is losing. >> roger ailes? >> i think it is significant. and roger is, to me, and i've known him since 1980, the best political operative. he knows how to win a debate. he knows how to win a presentation. he took george herbert walker bush, and i believe ailes, but somewhat combustible. it is like putting stallen. >> aren't they denying roger ailes being involved. what have you heard? >> stthey may not be a formal deal, but it doesn't mean they don't talk. >> congressional republicans and democrats are ready for another fight over hillary clinton's state department e-mails. congress received fbi notes and other documents from the investigation that led to no charges against clinton. the candidate is promoting its speech today with a tweet,

claiming donald trump's economic plan would lower taxes and give tax breaks to the rich. nancy cordes is in whashington where the fbi gave the documents to congress just yesterday. >> we've learned the fbi turned over quite a bit of material to congress, a highly unusual move, designed to convince republicans that the agency thoroughly investigated clinton's use of a private server, before recommending against prosecution. the fbi labeled the clinton material secret, warning, it was being provided with the expectation it will not be disseminated or disclosed without fbi concurrence. the trove of documents include interview summaries that republicans will pour over, looking for discrepancies, between what clinton told fbi agents and what she told congress. >> nothing was marked classified at the time i sent or received it. >> republicans are trying to make the case that clinton should be prosecuted for perjury and false statements. the latest salvo over the use of

her private e-mail account as secretary of state. >> i have nothing to say. >> campaigning in philadelphia, clinton had no comment. but an aid says the perjury accusation wreaks of desperation on the part of republicans who continue to use taxpayer money to effect an election that isn't going their way. hoping change the subject, her campaign accused trump last night of pushing a deranged conspiracy about clinton's health. >> hillary clinton doesn't have that strength or stamina. believe me. >> the 70-year-old trump has made a series of unfounded statements about clinton's well-being. >> she has got -- she is low energy. she actually is low energy. >> clinton's aides have pointed out she has done hundreds of campaign events, and sailed through an 11 hour benghazi hearing. >> those are the facts, mr. chairman. >> but that hasn't stopped trump. >> she'll take a nap for four or five hours and come back. no naps for trump. >> the 68-year-old clinton got a

clean bill of health from her doctor last year, but that hasn't stopped some far right websites from spreading a fake letter from that doctor, claiming she has dementia, and is prone to blacking out. margaret. >> thank you, nancy. people in southern louisiana are beginning to salvage what they can, after that catastrophic blooding. it is coming into full view. the death toll has climbed to 11, at least 40,000 homes have been damaged. the number of people rescued from the rising water has jumped to more than 30,000. flood warnings are posted in the southern half of the state, and some areas could see more rain today. omar villafranca is south of baton rouge with the continuing threat. >> reporter: good morning, the water is starting to recede here in sorento, knee high here, but farther down, it is about waist high. later on this morning, search crews will be going door-to-door for people who didn't evacuate,

and they're worried the death toll could go up. the flooding crisis punishing southern louisiana intensified tuesday. 16 more parishes were added. here in sorento, they've rushed downstream, devastating the small community and leaving the local fire chief at a loss for words. >> we've been losing a bunch of homes. a lot of -- >> reporter: national guard troops carried out more rescues in baton rouge. so far, 30,000 people have been saved. louisiana governor, john bel edwards said many have been reluctant to evacuate. >> people who live in homes that have never flooded don't leave their homes, when you warn them. >> what do you tell the 11,000 people still in shelters right now. >> we're moving heaven and earth to get them back in their home

as soon as possible. >> reporter: more than two feet of rain in parts of louisiana. >> the people work hard for what they got and to see them lose it because of this, you know, it's hard. >> reporter: on sunday, volunteers rescued mary ellen morgan and her family. tuesday, we found her at the now flood damaged home. >> did you lose any of your personal belongings? >> i don't even know. >> do you care? >> no. i don't. we are safe. we are well. i mean, how much more blessed can one person be? >> reporter: the clean up here will take months, and so far, 60,000 people have signed up for fema assistance. but the danger is not over. because there is more rain in the forecast. >> omar, thanks. team usa won nine more medals. giving the united states 84 total medals, and extends its lead over china and great britain. all-around gymnastics champion, simone biles finished with a

fourth gold medal, but in a three-time american gold medalist lost her first olympic match in 12 years. ben tracy is at copacabana beach in rio. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. if you're gymnastics fan, it is a tough day today. the gymnastics competition is all over here in rio, but if anybody needed another example of just how dominant the u.s. women have been in this sport, well, last night, they got two. simone biles put an exclamation point on one of the best olympic games for any gymnast in history. the 19-year-old won her fourth rio gold, this time, on the floor, flipping, twisting and dancing her way into the record books. four gold medals, she has won more at a single olympics than any other u.s. gymnast. aly raisman, the sixth of her

"ro" it looks hazy. >> it is hazy out there, roqui. morning, everyone. we have areas of low clouds and fog, pockets of drizzle. clouds are down 300 feet deep delays at sfo on some arriving flights. 50s and 60s out the door. later today, a couple of degrees warmer than yesterday. cooler on the weekend. ,,,,,,,,

good morning to our viewers in the west. it is wednesday august 17, 2016. welcome back to "cbs this morning." there is more real news ahead including new changes inside donald trump's campaign. the candidate says though he will not change. major garrett who has covered the trump campaign will discuss the new faces at the top. but first, today's eye opener at 8:00. >> i can feel the heat radiating behind me, but it's moved extremely fast and spread fire resources very thin. >> donald trump is on his third campaign manager, first corey lewandowski and then manafort, and now he's out. >> he's one of the toughest, most aggressive, most negative operatives in america today.

that signals to me that trump rather than softening his approach is going to double down on being the in your face campaigner. >> the fbi turned over quite a bit of materials to congress. convinced republicans at the agency thoroughly investigated clinton's private server. >> later on this morning search crews will begin going door-to-door looking for people who didn't evacuate. >> if anybody needed another example of just how dominant the u.s. women have been in this sport, well, last night they got two. >> simone, i can't get enough of her. she's so sparkly. >> i call it extreme vetting. i call it extreme, extreme vetting. >> it's like he's auditioning for the extreme vetting commercial. i call it extreme -- okay, wait, i call it extreme vetting. but how many takes do we get? it's live, donald! it's live!

>> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and margaret brennan, norah is off. a massive wildfire has put more than 80,000 people under evacuation orders. the blue cut fire exploded yesterday to cover roughly 18,000 acres in san bernardino, california. >> governor declared a state of emergency in the area. donald trump's presidential campaign has announced another change at the top. stephen bannonwill become. kellyanne conway was promoted to campaign manager and paul manafort will remain campaign chairman. trump focused on race relations last night in west bend in wisconsin. he told an overwhelmingly white crowd that his campaign will do more for african-americans than

hillary clinton would. >> the democratic party has run nearly every inner city in this country for 50 years, and run them into financial ruin. virtually every single one. they've ruined the schools. they've driven out the jobs. they've tolerated a level of crime no american should consider acceptable, worse than many third world countries. >> major garrett was at last night's trump rally in wisconsin. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. >> what do you think about this, first of all, the shakeup in terms of the staff. what does that mean for trump? >> reporter: well, look, you have to always remember trump is the campaign. trump and his daughter ivanka, her husband and don and eric. they are the essence of the campaign. as we've learned campaign managers can come and go. but steve bannan is a capable person, aggressive and kelly conway is experienced pollster

in dealing with message. but neither have had these jobs before. they're being asked to step into roles they are utterly unfamiliar with, on the fly in high pressure situations when the trump campaign has never faced more peril when it comes to its polling and organization position visa vee hillary clinton. but remember, trump runs the campaign first, foremost and always. >> is it a demotion for manafort? >> it's to insulate manafort. the trump campaign decided these stories about paul manafort this week especially about ukraine and lobbying and off the book payments are bad, are likely to get worse. but they're still keeping him in a position of somewhat importance within the campaign. it's an insulation move. but if the stories keep up and the publicity gets worse, they may have to demote him. they're holding onto him while they can. >> major, less than 90 days, what do you make of the timing of this? and what do you think we'll see next of the trump campaign since everybody says donald trump runs his own campaign?

>> reporter: as i just said, he does run his own campaign. and if you look at last night's speech, it was by far the best drafted and best delivered teleprompter speech of the trump campaign. that's kind of a low bar, a well drafted speech, well delivered is sort of what you expect in a presidential campaign. but trump hasn't really oriented himself in that direction. if he continues to do that and it's an enormous if, he may reap some political benefits. but as i've learned covering every hour of this campaign, you can never predict future and you have to be ready for any possible unpredictable event. and that's what i'm going to do. >> major, you said that trump's trying to reach out to african-americans, but he's turned down speaking opportunities. he was invited to speak to the naacp and other significant groups. why do that? >> i don't know. but if you want to look at last night's speech, it was in the most perfect safe zone trump could have ever constructed for

himself. a speech about african-american pathologies, urban decay, urban blight and despair and democrats being responsible for that in one of the most republican counties in wisconsin, in one of the whitest counties in wisconsin, 96% white according to latest census bureau data about 45 miles outside of milwaukee. trump came to milwaukee to talk about racial unrest, but he didn't go anywhere close to the city. he went to the safest zone both rhetorically and politically he could find. >> major, thank you. donald trump said this week he would create a coalition with russia to defeat isis. he also said he wants to shift nato's focus away from countering russia. and he called president vladimir putin a strong leader. hillary clinton has called putin a bully and she has vowed to stop moscow's meddling in ukraine and syria by punishing russia with more financial sanctions. we asked former defense secretary robert gates what the next president faces from that russian leader.

>> i think putin is one of these leaders who will push forward as long as there's no significant resistance. but he's not suicidal. he's not delusional. he's not crazy. he's a very calculating person who is playing a very poor hand with great skill. >> is putin gaining influence? >> i think that putin certainly has reasserted russia's role. it's pretty clear that any negotiation on syria, if there ever is one, russia will be at the table. and based on the way things are right now, probably in the chair. >> on day one, what does the next president encounter? >> the next president needs to begin with what is putin trying to do. putin is trying to reassert russia as a great power player in the world. if he can do it politically, he will. if he needs to do it militarily, he will. but i think first the president is going to have to make clear

that the united states won't be pushed around by this guy. >> you see the risk of military confrontation. >> the risk is the same as it was during the cold war in this specific respect of a miscalculation or an accident or a mistake that somebody makes that escalates the situation. >> gates said the best case scenario is a new president with a lot of credibility who lays out clear guidelines for what the u.s. will and will not tolerate from russia. charlie, that's going to be a tough first phone call for the next president. but we'll see. >> bob gates has also said that, and i mean people who've been in the situation room at the white house when he and hillary clinton were there together during the first term of the obama administration, that the two of them were often on the same page. >> uh-huh. >> bob gates and hillary clinton. >> yes. well, look at what russia's doing right now with using now iranian air bases to bomb syria. i mean, there definitely seems to be pushing the envelope and setting up for either a clash or

confrontation. >> which is gates said, look, he'll do as much as he can until somebody says no more. >> right. we'll see. >> we'll see. >> an interesting meeting for president obama and putin in a few weeks in september. >> certainly more to come on that. u.s. gymnast allie raisman won her sixth olympic medal. what did her mom,,

they became known in the london olympics for their extreme reactions to their daughter's routine. jamie yuccas is outside of rio olympic park and spoke with the parents about their night agaia . >> good morning. last night, against all odds she returned to cement her legacy. with tuesday's near perfect floor routine, aly raisman ended her run in rio with a silver medal behind friend and teammate simone biles. the 22-year-old now has three medals to add to the three she won in london in 2012. >> i don't think anyone knows how many hours goes into the training and how grueling it is. >> reporter: rick and lynn are aly's parents and spent most of the last two decades living as

>> reporter: even the best gymnasts rarely make it to multiple olympics. so raisman's final flip onto the podium is that much more impressive. >> the crowd is just, has more medal in the olympics since the ussr in 1972. >> we like that, jamie. a nice, fun fact. you see from the parents point of view because they practice, practice. one time is when it counts to watch it. >> it's like back seat driving. you can see the mom like leaning. so cute. >> they love their daughter. nightly show host and comedian larry wilmore talks with charlie about the end of his late night series and how jon stewart changed his life. that is coming up next on "cbs this morning."

from the beginning, jon stewart pitched me an idea that he felt there were a lot of voices that weren't being heard on television and weren't being represented and i thought there should be a show where that could happen. he imagined a round table type of show and he said i want you to be the ring leader. i'm like, what? what? i mean, i'm 52. you know, i was at my breaking bad age where i should be making meth somewhere, you know? a winnebago and trying to get away from the law is what i should have been doing. has that giant shrub always been there? so rare opportunity, you know? i'm tickled with the humility that comes with that knowing how to do that all and then jon wants the show to be the minority reporter and we are tackling race and gender and class. thanks, jon! let's do that! you know? >> such a great comedy. >> yes, but knowing jon, you know, on the serious side, we had done that before on "the tale show." i was very honored that he would choose me to tackle those type

of tough subjects and they really are tough, but i really enjoy -- i really enjoy trying to find the humanity in it and get the humor out that way and those types of things. it was really so much fun to the amount of time. we challenging, i have to say, but a lot of fun. >> so where will you go now? what will be the kind of forum? we want to know where you are. >> "cbs this morning," man! you guys have a lot of fill-ins on that show, you know he? >> he has been invited here any time. >> he really is. big loss i think for "comedy extra." what a class act and the way he is handling it too. >> very interesting guy. >> most people say i don't have anything to say and i don't want to talk. he is so classy. >> you is one more example of those people around comedy central who give jon stewart lots of credit. he was really an incubator for people to have their own show. >> i can't wait to see larry's

>> because this is his picture. >> this comedienne, actress, writer, producer and director is now an author! her first book is called "the girl with the lower back tattoo." and published by simon and shuster who is owned by cbs. >> that is how i got here? i didn't know i was owned by cbs. all right. >> no, we invited you and you were in the neighborhood and said, i'll come on over. >> i'll check you guys out. >> everything you said in the book happened and all true and you don't know if it's true but, boy, do you tell a lie. it's extremely honest and candid. one of the things you talk about is an eighth grader running off with a bunch of kids and her nickname is pancakes, guys, silver dollars. >> that's right. >> very revealing i think about who you are. >> it's pretty revealing. i think you'll like this story, charlie. so it was, you know, we were in eighth grade and we would all just walk around buy bags of beer and the cops would with

chase us like you do with your kids. the boys somehow talked us into we were going to flash them. they had a really good argument. like, do it! we were, like, okay. so all of the girls would line up and lifted up our shirts. and all of the boys looked at me and i did not have the biggest boobs of all of the crew but i looked down and shown that everyone else had only shown their bra and i was the only one who went full throttle. i think that is kind after good metaphor for my whole life. i'm always the one like revealing too much. i thought we were all admitting real things about ourselves. no, no. >> there is a kind of contradiction you are a private person but in terms of television you're every woman. you have this huge profile. >> thank you. yeah. i think we are all, i think so like walking hypocrites. i think pretty much. like, there is so many sides to all of us.

i'm, you know, very charged politically and i really care about the world, but that doesn't mean that i don't go home and watch every "real housewives" and every "bachelorette." you think, you know, we are dynamic people. >> i like in the book you take on this idea of people singling you out as a female comedienne more. this is what women in hollywood are like. >> yeah. >> that really gets under your skin. >> it does. it bothers me. it's such -- i think -- we were talking about this, gayle. it's so strange. people will say, i usually don't like female comics but you're okay. and i'm like, would you go up and say, i don't usually like black people, but i like you? it's just -- >> i like you. >> it's such a strange thing. >> people have said that to me. >> they have? i really regret saying that. i wish i could take it back. no. but you find it demeaning rather than -- >> it's, i think, a specification that doesn't need

to be made because people will say you're my favorite female comic. i go who is your favorite male comic? they said nobody. maybe i'm your best comic? maybe there doesn't need to be a distinction to be made. >> you also talk about your parents. >> that's right. >> in a rather open way. >> yes. had affairs? >> my mom only had one affair. >> i didn't mean -- >> oh, please, yes. >> what you said, which is the openness of talking about your mother and your best friend's father. >> that's correct. >> when you were 13. >> i was 13 years old. yeah. and so just like with my stand-up before i talk about anybody on stage or, you know -- anything. the person. i don't want it to hurt anyone. >> you asked your mom? >> i asked my mom i rented it and said if you don't want me to write any of it, i won't. if you want me to correct anything. the only correction she made was

that school was on sunday. >> but rest is okay? >> yeah. >> when you talk about your parents because they each have been married three times. >> yes. >> does that affect how you feel about marriage or children? do you worry about that? >> i think not so much children, because i think it just seems like very tiring to have them. so that is just how i feel about that. >> they are work. >> i'm just, like, what if i want to take a nap? >> what about marriage? >> but marriage, yeah, i feel very realistic about just statistics. i'm still very unromantic and i love/love but statistically, it's -- it doesn't look so good for you and me, forever? burial plots. it's like, you know, usually, something happens. but i really try to just enjoy the moment and how you're feeling now. but, you know -- >> you met your guy on a dating
