Chris . All right, thank you very much, chuck. We begin with a developing story. Reaction has been fast and furious for President Trumps explosive and what sources say expletivefilled comments about immigrants. The white house is not directly disputing the language used in the oval office. Democratic aide confirmed those original comments to nbc news while discussing immigrants from haiti and african countries. President trump said quote, why are we having all these people from expletive countries come here. He also said why do we need more haitians . Take them out. Someone else responded by saying, because if you do it will be obvious why. Whats not clear is who was in the room who said that. A reporter who spoke with haitis ambassador to the u. S.

This highway section of highway 20 is where the firefighters were making a stand to contain it. They want to keep it south of highway 20, west of highway 16 but that fire has spotted in places.
