Bannon. Right now, its a season of war against a gop establishment. Nobody can run and hide on this one. These folks are coming for you. Announcer this is new day weekend with Victor Blackwell and christi paul. Good morning. There is a new wildfire in Northern California and now thousands of people are being forced to evacuate. 39 people have died already. That makes it the deadliest fire in the states history. More than 200 people are still reported missing. And thousands of buildings, including 2,800 homes are gone. Some families, we have seen it for days now, have suffered devastating losses. One woman says her 14yearold nephew died as he tried to escape with his family. His parents, that boys parents just couldnt take it. I wish i had hugged him a lot more times we had no thought in our minds that they would be hurt by this fire. We thought they were just coming down the mountain. When i got the call about kyle, i couldnt stand. I fell to my knees and i just said, oh, no oh, no i cant imagine waking up to worse news that my sister is going to wake up to. She says her sister is going to wake up to that news because the mother and father had been sedated. Lets go to ryan young now standingrosa, california. The fires have decimated that community, ryan. Reporter they have. Listening to that sound, its amazing. Its heartbreaking to hear that. We have talked to so many people who have been upset by this fire because the fact they dont know what happened to their neighbors. We are standing in a neighborhood that, for the most part, is gone. We have been mentioning that over and over that is the scary part. 200 people are still missing so we know at some point they will take cadaver dogs in the neighborhood to see if they can find some of the missing people so disaster is far from over. Step out of the way here. In the distance there, there is a fire near the oakmont neighborhood and we know that some of these fires have combined. What a challenge for firefighters when youre dealing with Mother Nature in this way. The wind really spreading in through the mountainous terrain. Its hard. You cant go out with a hose and fight this fire. It is moving pretty quickly. Sometimes over the trees. Coming back down this direction, you can see a house that we are just kind of standing in front of. I cant imagine the views this house used to have but this hasships dozens of time over. We know 20,000 people have evacuated. Yesterday they were giving another evacuation order. We met another woman who not only survived the Las Vegas Shooting but then came home and lost the place where she was living to this fire. Listen to what she had to say about her survival story. Im not familiar with people shooting at me and that so that shook me up quite a bit. I was kind of a mess that week. And then this. But then once this happened, it was like, oh, come on. I mean, really . This has got to something has got to stop. I cant take much more. Lets put it that way. I feel very lucky because i came out of both of them, you know . I made it out of the vegas shooting. Im still here. I made it out of this. Clearly not everyone made it out. Reporter we are pointing out camera toward this garage and we see this play out over and over. So many cars stuck in that rubble. You have to wonder, did everyone make it out . Did they take one car . How did people find out . When you know some of these fires were moving more than a football field every three to four seconds so you can understand that you definitely have to go through some of these homes and figure out what happened. The disaster continues and they need a lot of help here. Back to you. Ryan young for us there in santa rosa, california. Thank you. Former white house chief strategist has now declared war against the president s party. A fiery speech we heard from steve bannon given to conservative activists yesterday. He aimed at republicans in congress who he say are hindering the president s agenda. Who is he calling out . Reporter good morning. Steve ban none wnon was vocal a aggressively going after congressmen who elbow have failed President Trump, including the Senate Majority leader mitch mcconnell, at one point comparing mcconnell to julius cesar saying capitol hill was the ides of march and he eluded to finding brutes who stabs julius cesar in the back in the play killing him. Bannon is recruiting conservative candidates to run against gop establishment incumbents. He is also building a Fundraising Network to go after these congressmen. He sees it as a war. Listen to more of what he said. This is not my war. This is our war. You didnt start it. The establishment started it. But i will tell you one thing, you all are going to finish it. Reporter that vow that steve bannon made shortly after leaving the white house that he was going to go full force after all of the president s opponents even within his own party is certainly a vow that he is keeping. One last note. He also predicted a landslide victory for President Trump in 2020 saying that trump would take more than 400 electoral votes in his past four years. He is saying the president had 30 chance of completing his term. Josh rogen is with us now. Josh, how solid of a gauge is there bannons influence . Well, i think its less than what bannon would have you believe it is but more than nothing. I mean, this is bannon being bannon. He has been at war with gop establishment for years before he was Donald Trumps Campaign Manager while during the campaign, while he was in the white house and now after his white house tenure. So this is a lot of more of the same from ban op. What we look at here is what is the bestcase scenario for him . He is not going to take over the Republican Party. He is going to elect a few more antiestablishment senators who are going to make Mitchell Mcconnells life more difficult and in the meantime, gain resources from the great republican effort to fight the democrats in the next election. So i think we cant discount what bannon is saying. I think he has got a lot of influence and he has got a lot of money and a lot of organizational skills. But in the end, this is a continuation of an ongoing internal civil war within the Republican Party that didnt start with him and wont end with him. Lets listen to more of what he said yesterday. Up on capitol hill, because ive been getting calls. Its like before the ides of march, right . This is an analogy or metaphor. Or whatever you want to call it. They are wanting to find out who is going to be brutes to your julius cesar. Yeah, mitch, the donors are not happy. They have all left you. We have gut your oxygen off, mitch, okay . Fair to pin the blame solely on the majority leader . The president is sitting in the president s seat. The president is julius cesar, not Mitchell Mcconnell. I think basically what bannon is pushing here is half true and half not true. Its very true that Mitchell Mcconnell is unpopular and its true running against him is a way to get candidates elected. Its not true that donors have cut off Mitchell Mcconnell. The republican establishment is still a very Strong Political machine, okay . And that machine will do what it needs to do to make sure that the bannon candidates dont succeed as much as bannon wants them to. They will both pour reresourcso into this fight. Both will win some. In the end youre going to have sort of a fight before the fight and then, you know, they will both head no the general election basically where we are now. All right. Josh rogen, always appreciate your perspective. Any time. Today on state of the union with jake tapper, secretary of state Rex Tillerson and republican senator Susan Collins will be on the show. That is state of the union with jake tapper at noon eastern on cnn. Harvey weinstein is kicked out of one of the most elite clubs in hollywood and now alist celebrities and saturday night live are taking on this disgraced movie mogul. Nfl owners are meeting this week to potentially crack down on players who knoll during the National Anthem. The issue should protests be left off the field some a former nfl player weighs in on a potential new rules that would force players to stand. More renewable and Clean Energy Resources because there are limits to the amount of fossil fuels that we can burn. Since 1925, we have depended on diesel generators, burning approximately a million gallons of diesel fuel a year. Our mission is to make offshore wind one of the principle new sources of energy. Not every bank is willing to get involved in a first of its kind project. Citi saw the promise of clean energy and they worked really closely with us, the wind farm will lower power prices. Were polluting the air less. Businesses and homes can rely on a steady source of power. Block island wind farm is a catalyst this will be the first of may offshore wind farms in the u. S. Wemost familiar companies,s but we make more than our name suggests. Were an organic tea company. A premium juice company. A Coconut Water company. Weve got drinks for long days. For birthdays. For turning over new leaves. And we make them for every moment in every corner of the country. We are the cocacola company, and were proud to offer so much more. I have a problem with Donald Trumps tax plan. A big problem. Eighty percent 80 of the tax cuts go to the top one percent. The richest americans. And big corporations get a huge tax break. But a lot of families like ours will pay more. Millions in the middle class will actually pay higher taxes. Thats right. Higher taxes to pay for the tax cuts for the wealthy and big corporations. No Early Morning tweet can make that right. The trump tax plan is just bad for america. This i can do, easily. I try hard to get a great shape. Benefiber® healthy shape is a clear, tastefree, 100 natural daily fiber. Thats clinically proven to help me feel fuller longer. Benefiber® healthy shape. This i can do so we know how to cover almost almoanything. Hing even a swing set standoff. And we covered it, july first, twentyfifteen. Talk to farmers. We know a thing or two because weve seen a thing or two. We are farmers. Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum nfl owners meeting this week and what they want to discuss, obviously, is the policy around the protests we have been seeing. This comes after several players began kneeling during the National Anthem to protest Police Brutal toward people of color. President trump is calling for the nfl to force the players to stand. Frankly, the nfl suspended him for one game and he would have never done it again. They could have then suspended him for two games and they could have suspended him if he did it a third time for the season and you would never have had a problem. But i will tell you, you cannot disrespect our country, our flag, our anthem. You cannot do that. Nfl commissioner Roger Goodell stresses that the league has no plans to mandate players to stand for the National Anthem. The league and Players Association say that the agenda is on how to make progress on the important social issues the players have been speaking about. A German Soccer Team following in the foot steps of the nfl. Players took a knee before their game yesterday in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick and other nfl players. The team said it did it, quote, for an openminded team and saying they stand for tolerance and social ability. Mark lemont hill, thank you for joining us. We are trying to get ben hill to join us but technical challenges. The commissioner has said that he is coming to this meeting with a possible solution that is he going to present the team owners and the Players Association. I wonder, first, what you make of the concept that there is a solution to peaceful protest . He is trying to go to them to get off their knees during the National Anthem or them to abandon the issue during games . What do you think of that . What he is trying to do is stop this controversy. He is worried that the controversy is causing people to stay away from the games. I, for example, dont watch nfl games until this issue is resolved and hopefully until Colin Kaepernick is back on the field that many people who feel that way. I dont think he cares so much about protests as he does the bottom line. Is there a long tradition of people trying to coop to protest. American universities are one of the hotbeds of protest and resistance. Students all over the country whether youre on the left or right, they protest on campuses and oftentimes campuses what they try to do is give students now a protest area. Or you can go over to that square and protest or this room and protest because they dont want them taking over the Student Union or the president s office so they try to coop the resistance but protest is about disruption. If you give somebody a protest area it doesnt matter. If they tell players where or how to take a knee they give them like a designated knee taking area it defeats the purpose. Let me read what we got from the cowboys owner jerry jones. If we can put that up on the screen. He says the following. Is he right in any way here . Not at all. If we werent tag knees, if we werent talking about the National Anthem protest we would not talk about Police Brutal its. Its this doesnt take away from our substantiveness. If anything is highlights our substance and exactly why we are doing it. Now if his argument is if we keep doing this and engaging in the ritual and dont do anything else about it, the means has become the end. Yeah, he would be right about that. That what the protest is about. The protest is get the league to make a different choice, to get america to Pay Attention and for us to come up with concrete Material Solutions to a very big problem. That is where we need to go next and where the nfl is going to have to do something serious to show it takes this issue seriously and all of america takes this issue seriously. Ben, what do you make of this idea there is a solution that can be proposed by the commissioner at this meeting this week . Well, i do think they need a solution. I think the nfl needs to go back to doing what specifically they do, which is to play football and entertain their fans. I think that is what causing problems in the nfl now is this about the political protest or is this actually specifically about, you know, going out there and playing football . I think the nfl has basically completely overlooked the negative impact of what this is going to be for their fans. And there is a lot of people that say, look, you have the right to protest. You have the right to protest and your involvement in the community but do you have a right to go out there and go out there and disrespect this country every single weekend and expect the fan base to stay there . I dont think the American People are going to continue to stand by the nfl if they continue to do this week in and week out and instead of doing this outside of a normal day. Most people dont have the right to go out there at work and have a political protest at their desk at work. Why does the nfl not have the same exact standards the other people do when they got work monday through friday . Except the Vice President who last week went to indianapolis and according to what the president said, himself, he sent him to that game and if was there kneeling, he wanted him to get up and leave and the press pool was told that there is no reason to get out of the van. The Vice President wont be here very long. The 49ers, Colin Kaepernicks team will be playing the redskins today. Do you expect to see a Vice President , a member of the cabinet go and pull what many call a stunt this week during the game . Here is a similar point with the president of the United States. Their job is always to protect this country, honor this country, and honor those that give the ultimate sacrifice for this country. I dont care if youre republican or democrat, black, white, hispanic, any other color, it doesnt matter what. When youre the president of the United States of america, you never go to a private business and allow the United States of america and the men and women who fought for it. I dont look for a stunt for the president or Vice President saying im not going to be a part of a moment in history that is disrespectful to the United States of america and to the men and women in uniform that protect in service. They have a dutedduty, an obligo stand up. If he walks out of the game the rest of the time this is going on, that is never a stunt when youre the president of the United States of america. That is your job. Ben, this is reframing this entire conversation as it is a stunt to disrespect members of the military. The kneeling was actually individualed by a former military of the military to Colin Kaepernick. The original question was he was wrong, though. Can someone go to you said these people who are at work should not be protesting. The Vice President went in his official capacity on air force two on the taxpayers time for a stunt in protest. He went there to honor be clear. Its on the books. Went there to honor Peyton Manning who he knew very well. How long did he stay for that . We have to wrap here. We could have this conversation for the rest of the show. But, unfortunately, we have to wrap. Technical difficulties are challenging us. We will have it again. Thanks.

After a cnn exclusive report from puerto rico, a leading House Democrat has asked the department of Homeland Security to investigate the water situation on the island. Cnn reported that workers were distributing water taken from a federally designated Hazardous Waste site. Yesterday, cnn reached out to the department of Homeland Security for comment on congressman benny thompsons request. We did not receive a reply. But according to the epa, consuming this water can have Serious Health effects including the increasing risk of cancer. Here is cnns ed lavandera. Reporter some Puerto Ricans are so celebrate to find water here on the island that they have started tapping into wells on what is described as a super fund site. An official designation issued by the Environmental Protection agency. Super fund sites exist all over the country and considered some of the most toxic sites and ground areas in the United States. Here in puerto rico alone, there is 18 of these designated superfund sites. The focus is just on one of them in the town of around the town of dorado, puerto rico, west of san juan, the capital here of this island. We were with an epa team as they started to take samples and reports started emerging that people were lining up at some of these wells getting Drinking Water or water being used for cleaning or other purposes in their hopes homes in the toilet system and that sort of thing. So a great deal of concern about just how much exposure some residents here might have had to this water and there is now testing being done on these water wells to determine if, at all, this water is, indeed toxic. Just because the superfund site is around there and toxic chemicals in the ground, epa Officials Say it doesnt necessarily mean those chemicals have reached the water there. Nonetheless, over the course of this next week, they will be testing this water to determine whether or not these wells should be turned off or controlled in some sort of way. We have seen long lines of people getting into these water wells, using them either for drinking. Some people have told us. Or for cleaning purposes around their homes. Just kind of goes to show you just how desperate the situation for many people still remains here in puerto rico when it comes to water. Epa Officials Say they are really more concerned about longterm exposure to this water and require residents to drink this water for months, if not years, for them to see the effects of the toxic chemicals in that water. Nonetheless, it is still very much a dangerous situation and they are trying to spread the word out there. In the meantime, this does show how desperate the situation is for many people and epa officials are urging these residents to stay away from these water wells around the town of dorado, puerto rico, until these test results are coming back. That work will continue and we are told it will take the better part of this week for a full understanding of exactly what is in that water. Ed lavandera, cnn, san juan, puerto rico.

The number of People Killed there now up to 48. 86 of the island still has no power. Hospitals are running low on medicine and supplies. But there are urgent attempts to help. The federal government has sent ten disaster teams of doctors and nurses and paramedics to the island. Four mobile hospitals have been set up in a hospital parking lot and the comfort there is on the scene. The hhs assistant secretary for preparedness and response is saying puerto rico is receiving comparable relief as the disasters in florida and texas. There is a doctor assisting with Disaster Relief in puerto rico who has quit her team after seeing medical workers treat themselves to as she quotes it a spa day. Apparently a nurse on the team arranged for two nail techs and one hairstylist and massage therapist to come in and have services. Each person who participated paid out of pocket from their own money but they were paid for a full days work on a taxpayers dime as they were supposed to be assist be patients. This department wrote a letter to the health and Human Services and saying this is a abuse of taxpayer funds and abuse of conditions she calls abhorrent. Hhs responded saying this. So lets talk to that doctor who quit. Dr. Mona canna. I want to be very clear about this. Disaster medical Assistance Team is overseen by hhs. This is not fema which is heavily criticized for a lack of preparedness. To be clear this is not fema. Doctor, i know you have traveled the world doing this. You were in haiti after the earthquake there. You were one of the First Western doctors on the ground in indonesia after the tsunami. You have seen a lot. Take us to this day when you saw this. Help us understand what happened and what struck you as wrong. Certainly. I was treating patients as i always do. I was the only Team Physician left in the two tents that were seeing patients. I went to another tent just adjacent to get some food and styrofoam containers that the hospital was providing for my patients since we would keep patients in the tent for hours at a time. I went to get some food and i i walked in and i was surprised to see a manicurist sitting at a table painting the nails of one of my key members and i didnt know what was happening. And we are seeing pictures here. You say you discovered manicurists and pedicurists and massage therapies. We are see people in flipflops. Is this an area that should have been sterile or sanitary if you were treat people . When i came back to my own treating tent which is where the pictures were taken of the person in flipflops, i asked around. I said what is going on over there . I was told that this person who was wearing the flipflops had made the arrangements for these Service Providers to come in in taxpayerfunded medical tents on taxpayer funded time to provide these services to our team members. The reason she was wearing flipflops she, herself, had just had a pedicure and was air drying her nails. Did that cause alarm to you . It did cause alarm to me. Mind you, this isnt an operating theater so not a sterile per se but we have strict mandated dress code and you see a woman wearing black boots and that is part of our dress code. We do it for a reason. What if a gurney fell over on our toes or run over by the wheels of a gurney . This is for protection and so we have a strict dress code. Im going to lull an el woods moment on you. Manis and pedis i know they require clean water. We have been watching these stories for weeks of people who cant get Drinking Water and who are drinking contaminated water. Do you know what water was i dont do for these services . I did not since i didnt procure the services myself and i didnt stick around long enough. I was so enraged. I didnt stick around long enough to observe the techniq techniques. My suspicion if they were worried about using water that was available to bathe in and wash hands, they may have used bottled water but i cant confirm that. I want to get back to the hrk hhs statement they removed the person responsible and they sent them hole and inquiry going on. What is your reaction to their response . Is that enough for you . Look. Im tired of people making excuses. Im tired of excuses about weinstein and im tired of excuses about people who hold positions of stewardship and power in this country being given passes, free passes. Look. These are people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. We have been empowered to, by the federal government, to have stewardship of taxpayer funds. We have a mission. We have to be mentally prepared when we go out and physically prepared when when we go out. Is there absolutely no excuse. What it a lapse in judgment . No it was premeditated and precalculated and prethought out and i might say done in combination with the commander of the team. Sent home . That is an impetus response. We have run out of time, doctor, and we thank you for sharing your story bus and your time. It breaks my heart for having quit a team i was with 20 years. It breaks my heart. Does this mean you quit altogether or you just quit this puerto rico project . My original intention was to quit this particular team that made these calls about allowing these services and perhaps transfer to another team. Now having come out and done the things ive done and said the things ive said and made these pictures available, i doubt it will be possible for me to go back to the system. However, no fear. There are thousands of nongovernmental organizations with which i could volunteer my free time to provide services to people who have been through disasters. Thank you for your service for that, certainly. Thank you, again, for reaching out. Dr. Mona canna, we appreciate it. Thank you. Harvey weinstein, the sgrafed hollywood producer has been kicked out of the Academy Award of Motion Pictures and sciences. More than a dozen people have accused him of Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault and even rape. The academy released a statement. Quote. Host muof reliable sources brn stelter is here. They say this was far exceeding majority of this vote to excel Harvey Weinstein. They had rules for this but never a vote like this until yesterday. I think its notable that statement talking about the era of willful comrplicit is over. It was that. Hollywood doing soul searching and admitting to nightmares mayors in the past. I talked to one of the reporters of the the New York Times who dug into wweinsteins behavior. It took months to do and proud it was published. One thing i was also really happy about was seeing how much respect there was for the women stories and the women who chose to come forward. I think any woman coming forward in that situation, you know, if youre unknown, you have set of fears. Like im this anonymous person dragged into the media spotlight. If youre well known, you are fears ill be tabloid fodder for days. It seems to me the world has treated the women who have come forward very respectfully and im glad for that. We will have more of my interview with kantor today on reliable sources. In the past there have been cases of Sexual Harassment and assault allegations where the accusers have been shamed. In this case, its Harvey Weinstein being shamed. Here is an example of that from snl last night. Weekend update had a lot to say about weinstein. Paem happle has announced it add hundreds of emojis to their list including this giving emoji fans the ability to describe what it was like to work for Harvey Weinstein. Weinstein has been accused of multiple counts of Sexual Assault is reportedly going to europe for sex rehab. Somehow, i dont think that is going to help anybody. He doesnt need sex rehab. He needs a specialized facility where there are no women, no contact with the outside world, metal bars, and its a prison. You know, this is a tough spot for a comedian because its so hard to make jokes about Sexual Assault. But its so easy to make jokes about a guy that looks like this there you go. Snl, the late night shows were criticized for not saying more about the weinstein allegations this time last week. And now it seems snl is trying to make up for lost time and lots of comments about this ongoing scandal. Watch reliable sources. 11 00 a. M. Eastern on cnn with brian stelter.

Its been its been great to hear that history and share that history and, you know, if once every 205 years this is the price we pay, then thats what it takes.

Ups and downs, good and bad, as the politic current i sway, soldiers stand fast and do their jobs. Were blessed to have men like them. Reporter the job in niger for the 3rd special forces group is to advise, assist and train local forces. A job that suited dustins personality and passion.
