Warmest respects. They are going through a lot. Bret Claudia Cowan joins us. Good evening. You see block after block in neighborhoods like this one where we are tonight in santa rosa. There is nothing left, and its just heartbreaking. As these wildfires rage on, its clear the damage and loss of life will be extensive. Looks like a bomb went off. There is nothing left of these homes. California under siege. More than a dozen lives lost. People unaccounted for, homes, businesses and cars reduced to piles of ash. Residents are slowly making their way back to see what if anything is left. To come in here and see it now and see everything and how far it goes. Its unimaginable. It was right there, and we were like, weve got to go down. This is all ive got. Its been an emotional 36 hours in which 17 large wildfires started across the golden state, burning 180 square miles. The smoke visible from space. The size and scope is massive. 20,000acre fire with another 25,000acre fire and a 5,000acre
Julie garrett teny has the latest from the white house. Reporter the president feels the report vindicates what hes been saying for more than a year now, that government officials under the Obama Administration had it out for him. This morning he tweeted the i. G. Report totally destroys james comey and all of his minions including the great lovers, peter strzok and lisa page who started the witch hunt against innocent people. It will go down as a dark and dangerous period in american history. Leading up to the report, we knew about the antitrump Text Messages that were exchanged during the campaign. The i. G. s report revealed they werent the only fbi officials exchanging text that were critical of donald trump. The Inspector General referred five fbi employees for investigation in connection with the texts. President trump said those are a few bad apples at the top of the fbi and as a whole the bureau is making changes for the better. The people in the fbi are incredible. I would bet
Could strike japan or north korea. The future of americas military presence in the region is another big concern. A question according to japan. A short time ago the president insisted he will take a hard line toward north korea government. As he says he is ready to go for the summit. President trump ive become very well prepared. I dont have to prepare much. Its about attitude and willingness to get things done. Ive been preparing for the summit for a long time. As has the other side. I think they have been preparing for a long time also. This isnt a question of preparation. Its a question of whether or not people want it to happen. Well know that very quickly. Harris also ready to go, chief White House Correspondent john roberts on the north lawn right now. Take it away, my friend. John harris, good afternoon.

Pretty great to see you. Lee happy to be here. Harris lets get to the news. That historic summit between President Trump and North Koreans kim jong un has ended with the two leaders signing a joint statement reaffirming kim jong uns commitment to denuclearize.

Eyes are wide open, but pieces always worth the effort and especially at this case. This shouldve been done years ago. It is right there, its within our reach. Its going to be there, its going to happen. This is complete denuclearization of north korea. And it will be verified. Youd be very surprised, very smart, very good negotiator.

And if they were to pick him, watch for the white house to say that kavanaugh had demonstrated strict adherence to the constitution and he is 53 and he could be on the court for decades to come. Whoever the president picks, it is likely to be someone between the ages of 4555. The other front runner, we call him the other front runner because i get a sense that he is just as much in the mix as kavanaugh, but perhaps not quite as much but pretty much up there, it is Ray Kethledge who is an
