It was retweeted by the President Trump Campaign Senior legal adviser. Just so were clear, Kamala Harris, like barack obama, was born in the United States, which makes her a citizen. She was born in oakland, california. And just a short time ago, President Trump tried to fan the flames even more. Can you say whether or not Kamala Harris is eligible or even meets the legal requirements to run as Vice President. I just heard it today that she doesnt meet the requirements. And by the way, the lawyer that wrote that piece is a very highly qualified, very talented lawyer. I have no idea if thats right. I would have assumed the democrats would have checked that out before she gets chosen to run for Vice President. But thats a very serious very serious charge. Thats very serious. The president of the United States, most powerful man in the world, doesnt know if thats true or not, but its very serious. Theres nothing serious about it. Frankly, based on that, about him. It is pathetic. Whats ve
Other plans. Some east bay hiking trails have been closed because of the heatwave. This weekend is not the weekend that we want the public hiking in the open space where youre far from the pavement, where youre two or three miles in, likely to experience a heatrelated emergency under the conditions were going have this weekend. Reporter thats the advice of Emergency Responders in the east bay. With an extreme heatwave on top, confire is urging folks to limit outdoor activity.

Reporter so they are still wondering, you know, what is going on in the city of oakland with respect to the last 72 hours or so . The chief told us that frankly, saturday night they were caught flatfooted. They were completely surprised that there would be a verdict. He explains it this way, that its very difficult for police to amass a force to take on a roving mob of demonstrators relatively quickly. The demonstrators have social media and they can be on bart in 10 minutes and over here or here already and go and start vandalizing streets and businesses and what not. He says it takes officers a lot longer to do that and it simply takes longer to ramp up to go after demonstrators. He had one clear example. He said, officers were watching somebody breaking a window across the street. By the time they could get across the street, that person who was masked was gone. Just had run into the crowd. So you can kind of see the situation that oakland pd is facing right now. The problem is, peo

With temperatures and winds dropping, firefighters getting a foot up in the battle. But what a week its been. At one point, 11 fires burning at once. Leaving one person dead, charring at least 19,000 acres. Destroying at least 11 homes. Its a community on edge. Three people arrested for setting small fires. The blazes quickly put out. So far, investigators know the cause of just one of the fires. The blaze in Rancho Bernardo started by a spark at a construction project. This may be the cause of t
From nbc news World Headquarters in new york, this is nbc nightly news with brian williams. Good evening. There is more evidence tonight that the panic over ebola, the public fear of ebola, is getting in the way of the facts surrounding ebola in this country. Like the fact that it is very difficult to transmit. And the fact that thousands more will die of the flu this year. On friday the governors of new york and new jersey declared a blanket, 21day quarantine for Health Care Workers coming back from west africa. By today they had changed their tune. After complaints by the white house, and a nurse who felt victimized and criminalized when she returned from volunteering in africa and spent the weekend in a quarantine tent. Now members of the u. S. Military are headed back from africa and into three weeks of quarantine. That includes a twostar general. And so tonight some distinguished doctors are speaking out, and the feds are now coming forward with new rules to try to reignin some of
