At this point, the Mendocino Complex Fire has scorched nearly 293,000 acres. 75 homes have been destroyed. And the fire at this point is only 34 contained. Firefighters are up against hot, dry, and windy conditions. Cnns Stephanie Elam has the latest from mendocino, california. Reporter christine and phil, we are standing in the midst of some of the devastation from the Mendocino Complex Fire, which is actually two fires that started about the same time, burning near each other here. And you can see how hot this fire got. The devastation here, even in this rural community. You can see that it has really ravaged some of the properties that are here. And just to give you an idea of how bad the fire season has been, if you go down just blocks from where we are, theres another building thats burned down. You might think its from this fire. Its actually from a different one. All in all right now, there are some 17 fires that are burning in the state. And just to give you an idea of
companies who have been close allies to the Trump Administration over the last few years. All right, elon musk may remove tesla from the scrutiny of wall street, taking it private in what would be the biggest buyout in history. Musk simply stunned investors with this casually worded tweet yesterday, writing that hes considering taking tesla private. Hes already secured the funding. He didnt say where he got the money, but going private would cost, oh, about 71 billion, by far the largest buyout ever. Musk faces pressure to turn tesla into a profitable carmaker, but tesla has burned through cash as it struggles to produce its first massmarket car, the model 3. One analyst says this could be a way to strike back at wall street. This could be a Temper Tantrum by elon musk as a way of saying that i dont have to be bothered answering questions to Market Analysts or commentators or journalists or being under the scrutiny of wall street. Hes a maverick. People who love him call him a maverick. Some on wall street call him arrogant. And he has been contentious on
conference calls. Musk told employees that going private is the best path forward, adding that being subject to wild swings in our stock price is a major distraction and going private removes incentives to attack tesla. He often complains about short sellers, who investors who profit when the stock drops. Musks tweet sent teslas stock up 9 . Trading was halted and later resumed, closing up 11 . Its really unusual to see such an outspoken ceo talking about these sorts of things. The reason why youre public is so that you have public investors, you have shares sold to the public, and you need to be very open and honest with how your company is going, and he sometimes gets angry about that. Its this weird thing, where you actually get a view into what hes thinking in realtime, which carries a lot of value, but it is also unusual and strange and possibly irresponsible. I do think its his war with the shorts is playing huge in this. War with the shorts. Read his twitter. You can see what im talking about. Iowa College StudentMollie Tibbetts now missing for three weeks. Coming up, why her father believes shes still alive. And why Secretary Of State mike pompeo may be headed back to pyongyang. A live report after this. Alright, i brought in new max protein. To give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you dont. Ill take that. [cheers] 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar. New ensure max protein. In two great flavors. burke so we know how to cover almost anything. En almost everything even vengeful vermin. Not so cute when theyre angry. And we covered it. Talk to farmers. We know a thing or two because weve seen a thing or two. We are farmers. Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum
the white house is offering to send Secretary Of State mike pompeo back to pyongyang for a meeting with kim jongun in a response to a letter sent by the north Korean Leader to President Trump. National security adviser john bolton not ruling out a second summit between the two men, but first, he wants to see less rhetoric and more action on denuclearization from the kim regime. Lets go live to hong kong and bring in cnns will ripley. Will, youve been all over this from the beginning. Whats your sense of where things actually stand right now . Reporter it seems as if there is gridlock after secretary pompeos most recent trip to pyongyang. Basically, the north koreans felt that the u. S. Walked in there, made all of these unilateral demands without being willing to give some of the things that the north koreans want that they say will build confidence, like Easing Sanctions step by step over time as opposed to all at once at the end of the denuclearization
process, and the north koreans also want a peace treaty formally ending the korean war, and they have expressed dismay that the United States hasnt pushed further to make that happen. They called it a bold move when i was speaking with a source about it a couple weeks ago. Their Foreign Minister talked about it over the weekend in singapore when he was at the same Security Summit with Secretary Of State mike pompeo and they shook hands briefly. They exchanged letters, or the u. S. Exchanged its letter to the north koreans in response to kim jonguns letter to President Trump, but there was no meeting. So, thats where we stand right now, gridlock. And a source told me a couple days ago that the north koreans feel to break that gridlock, the best solution from their perspective is a sitdown, a round two summit with President Trump and kim jongun. Because even though the north koreans have criticized the State Department and internal politics in the u. S. , their messaging has consistently praised the president. They say he has a vision and they think that their leader and the president are the two best people to sit down and execute that vision. So, when could this summit potentially happen . Well, we know that the United NationsGeneral Assembly kicks
off next month in new york. A lot of World Leaders fly in for that, phil. Could kim jongun be one of them . As the president likes to say often, stay tuned. That would be a circus, but an interesting one. A fashion nacinating dynamic. Will ripley, thank you. To iowa now, where the reward for a missing student is now over 300,000. Mollie tibbetts father says he believes his daughter is still alive. I think the longer this goes on, in the absence of finding her, that she could be someplace where we can still get her back.

On friday, but after delays and cancellations, it ended up taking them 26 hours to get from
vegas to d. C. They arrived just four hours before tipoff and decided they were just in no shape to play the game. The wnba tried to push tipoff back an hour, but the aces still said they didnt feel it was healthy to play. The league ended up ruling that the result of the game would be a forfeit. It was costly for the aces, who are now 2 1 2 games out of the final playoff spot. All right, mariners at the rangers last night. Felix hernandez makes Adrian Beltre look silly on this strikeout. And watch felix. He just starts laughing at the swing beltre made. He then points to the dugout, tells him to go sit down. Fast forward to the sixth inning and beltre gets his revenge with this blast. Thats a home run to center. Beltre gets the last laugh. Rangers win, 114. Finally, the series between the fargo more head redhawks and the chicago dogs may be the best independent League Series of all time. After a bangbang play at third base last night, the dogs manager was so upset at the safe
call, he decided to take third base, and then he walks over to the side and hes going to give the base to a kid. Now, this came a night after a Redhawks Player was so mad at being called out on strikes, he went into the dugout, got a trash can, and then placed it at home plate where the umpire normally stands. And you know what, guys, we have seen tens of thousands of tantrums in baseball over the last century. Never seen that before. So, i definitely give that Player Points for creativity. You know, andy, were going to know were on your bad side when all of a sudden you show up after the tease and its just the trash can in your chair. And like, its an inventive move. Thats why august minor league baseball, you know theyre in a good place when thats starting to happen. And to think of that on the fly. Props to that player. Andy, thank you so much. Up next, all eyes on ohio with a special election race thats still too close to call. And high drama in the courtroom as the star witness

In ohios 12th district, if it is any indication, a blue wave may, in fact, be coming in november. In a special election many considered a bellwether for the midterms, the race between Republican Troy Balderson and Democrat Danny Oconnor is still too close to call this morning. An encouraging outcome for democrats in a deep red district, no matter how it plays out. Still, there are more than 8,000 outstanding provisional and Absentee Ballots that could take days to count. Balderson currently leads oconnor by less than one percentage point. Both candidates spoke late last night, oconnor refusing to concede, balderson quick to claim victory. Id like to thank President Trump. [ cheers and applause ] america is on the right path, and were going to keep it going that way. Over the next three months, im going to do everything i can to keep America Great again. As we see division and discord tearing apart our country, we must remember that each and every one of us are
gods children and that all of us need to be treated with dignity and respect. And i think we could use a lot more of that spirit in washington these days. President trump taking some time out from his Working Vacation to declare balderson the winner and take credit for it, even though the outcome is not quite yet official. The president tweeting, when i decided to go to ohio for Troy Balderson, he was down in early voting, 63 36 . That was not good. After my speech on saturday night, there was a big turn for the better. Now troy wins a great victory during a very tough time of year for voting. He will win big in november. Several other primaries to tell you about, including another race too close to call in kansas. Secretary of state kris kobach, a Hardliner On Immigration who received President Trumps endorsement locked in a tight race with jeff colyer. And in missouri, attorney general josh hawley is the winner of the gop primary for the senate. Republicans are hoping he can
unseat democrat Claire Mccaskill in november. In the michigan gubernatorial primary, Cnn Projects State Attorney GeneralBill Schuette will be the republican candidate in november. Former state legislative leader Gretchen Whitmer will be the democratic candidate. Cnn projects john james has captured the gop nomination for u. S. Senate in michigan. James is an africanamerican iraq war vet endorsed by President Trump. He will face democrat Debbie Stabenow in november. Joining us this morning, cnn politics Senior Writer and analyst harry entin, whos been up all night. Yes look at the enthusiasm just exuding. Lets start with ohio. You have until august 18th to know what the decision is, but this is a real test of this Blue Wave Theory of the democrats. The gop outspent the dems 51 there in ohio. Yeah, and this is a district that donald trump carried by 11 Percentage Points back in 2016. If you look at all the races dating back to 2012, the
republicans on average have won it by over 20 Percentage Points, state, local elections, president ial election. And the fact that its still so close this morning is an indication that the environment is on the democrats side. Now, i want to move just quickly from ohio to another house area that i think is really important. Youve been pointing this out. Ive been keeping an eye on it all week as you talk about the broader national mood. Washington state. Yeah. You were keying on some races there that are showing some things that maybe we didnt expect. Explain what youre seeing. Yeah. So, washington has a unique primary system, just like california. The democrats run, all the republicans run, and basically, what we know is that the primary results, if you combine all the democrats and combine all the republicans, it tends to be predictable of the full result. And weve seen in three districts where republicans are really struggling. But the most shocking is washingtons Third District where congresswoman Herrera Butler was not thought at all to be in trouble, and in fact, right now, the cumulative democratic vote is actually beating the cumulative republican vote in that district. Wild. She was not considered in play. She was not considered in
play. Most race raters had that a solid republican. And the fact that the democrats have more votes right now than the republicans indicates that that district may be in play in the fall. Lets talk about kansas. Kris kobach, obviously, we all know this story, right . He was endorsed by donald trump. Trump decided to go against the incumbent governor. And right now, that race is so close to call. Were waiting on Johnson County. Colyer is doing well in Johnson County, but kobach is holding on to this tight lead. 500 votes. 500 votes. Thats basically where its been, 500, 800, all evening long, as ive been waiting and waiting and waiting, and it just is not coming, but well find out later today, hopefully. We respect Johnson County and their processes. We wish they would be a little bit quicker. I wish they would be a little bit faster. It honestly is giving me nightmares about florida 2000 all over again. Can i ask just a broad topline . You look at john james in michigan, you look at jim schuette, kris kobach, maybe, Troy Balderson, look at the last
10, 11 primaries. Donald trump has endorsed candidates that have won, period. How much of that is the president and how much is just the districts of the states . I think hes obviously picking people who he thinks are going to win. I mean, if you look, for instance, in kansas can kris kobach, we had a poll taken last week that tended to show a very tight race. Then what do we have tonight . A very, very tight race. So im not sure the president had too much of an impact there or in ohio, either, despite what he claims. The polling indicates beforehand it was a close race and it ended up being so. Lets look at what he said about ohio, when i decided to go to ohio for Troy Balderson, he was down in early voting. You can put up that tweet. After my speech saturday night, there was a turn for the better. Now troy faces a victory in a tough year for voting. He will win big in november. The second word in the tweet about Troy Balderson is i, which is sort of, you know what a surprise, the
president is taking credit for something . Look, early voting in ohio always leans democratic. Remember, Hillary Clinton was up large in the early returns in 2016 before donald trump won that state by eight points. The fact that Danny Oconnor was up in the early vote and then you saw a republican gaining, gaining, gaining, not really a big surprise. Thats what most of the polling indicated and thats exactly what happened. Is the polling okay . In 2016, polling was all over the place and was a real surprise for people. Unbelievably, so far in the special elections, the polling has actually been above average for special elections. And if you looked at that final poll in ohio, it showed that balderson was up by a point. And how much is he leading by now . One point. A point. The wendys order was good last night. The cream soda was good. All of the food and drinks i had in order to keep me awake are clearly working at this hour, although ill leave that up to you. That was some of your best material. This is one of your best appearances ever. This has been really good. They let you go to sleep on august 18th. That will be great. August 18th . Im going to stay awake until at least november. If we have a runoff in mississip mississippi, ill be awake for
that, too. Thats why youre the best in the business. Harry enten, thank you. Rick gates, Paul Manaforts former righthand man, back on the stand today. The lawyers are picking up from yesterday, trying to undermine rick gates credibility in the eyes of the jury. Gates has admitted to a host of transgressions. So far, manaforts defense team has not done much to pin the bank and tax fraud their client is charged with on gates alone. That part of the Cross Examination may come today. More from cnns jessica schneider. Reporter christine and phil, Paul Manaforts lawyers went on the attack against rick gates on tuesday. They hammered him with questions that even led gates to admit on the stand that he had an extramarital affair a decade ago. But when attorneys accused him of using Paul Manaforts money to fund his socalled secret life, gates pushed back, saying the money actually came from bonuses. Now, of course, the defense team is doing everything they can to attack the integrity of Paul Manaforts former righthand
man. Gates said he had made some mistakes, but he insisted to the jury that he is now telling the truth. And the defense team really wants to establish that rick gates was the one who developed that financial scheme to hide money from the u. S. Government, not Paul Manafort. Paul manaforts lawyer even asked the direct question of gates did you develop a scheme . And gates responded, no, i just added some numbers to some reports. But really, prosecutors have gone to Great Lengths to show that it was, in fact, manafort in charge. At the end of gates direct examination, prosecutors were painstaking to show the process where manafort asked gates on indication how to add information to a pdf document. And when gates said that when he got the document back, manafort had actually changed some of the numbers, falsifying some of their financial reports. Of course, rick gates was a close associate to Paul Manafort for 12 years, but now hes flipped, he flooded guilty, and hes telling all he knows to prosecutors. So, it will be interesting when he is back on the stand for more Cross Examination this morning. Christine and phil . All right, jessica schneider, thank you for that. Last night, President Trump hosted an informal dinner for some of the countrys top Business Leaders at his bedminster golf club. The president and first lady welcomed more than two dozen ceos and their spouses, including pepsi, fiat chrysler, fedex, boeing. Welcome to bedminster. Its great to have you here.
