tell us. adam: they need help but there may be rain. cooler temperatures would help. but again today we are looking at numbers across portions of california where some of the worst fires are in the triple digits paid 100 in sacramento, a lot of areas in the region paid 102 currently, it stays warm as we go into sunday again, 103 degrees. it has been a very hot summer and some of these portions of northern california. that will be continuing unfortunately in the next couple of days. the wind has backed down a little bit. we took the elevated fire danger, that is what the pink areas are. we are usually seeing a much larger area. there is still fire danger out there but notice the gray areas. those are air-quality alerts. between extreme heat and now the additional particles in the air, they are air-quality alerts stretching from portions of california up into oregon, washington. it will be something that folks that are elderly or will you need to pay attention to the next couple of days.
that signed on to that letter criticized this move. they are all saying this is sort of a dangerous precedent and political litmus test for these intelligence officials that if they are talking about something or if they have something to say that the president doesn t like, they may withhold that information out of fear of losing their job. but then like you said, all of trump supporters are saying that brennan should not have his clearance in the first place, this is well within his right. it will be back and forth. i m sure it will continue as the president threatens to pull more security clearances. eric: people may be surprised that some of the officials do retain their security clearances after they have left the job. they say one reason for that is that they can go back in and maybe offer advice because of their experience. is that the way it generally does work in washington? one would think once you are out of the job, you are out of the loop. right. it allows the current of
for him it may in a sense playing hard ball. i guess it depends who in washington you ask what could ultimately mean for national security. eric: it is very partisan too. meanwhile bruce ohr shgs we are hearing a lot about him. he was the former associate deputy attorney general. his wife nelly worked for fusion gps, you know, and meanwhile those e-mails show that ohr was in contact with christopher steele and glen simpson, the head of gps. what was he doing? he wasn t apparently on the russia investigation. he s having e-mails and/or meetings and breakfast. what s going on? they even had an e-mail that said there was concern they will be exposed. how does that fit in? is the president on solid ground when he s going after bruce ohr? we know they haven t found any real evidence that what bruce or his wife were doing had an effect on the russia investigation. but again, like you said, he has kind of been tied up in these
john brennan for him is the first character to emerge as an opposition.arthel: has the president provided enough evidence behind his claims? not really. he hasn t sort of laid out the case for it besides saint john brennan you know, is a fool. i think in the wall street journal, an interview he did this past week i think you said, rush investigation, the russia witchhunt in his words was on his mind. arthel: is that okay with you? with me personally? not personally but as a reporter, is this okay for you? i think it makes sense in the context of what he s doing. i think it is a logical extension of making the argument. by the way, i think more norms be broken washington as a result as well. we re going to see an uptick in pardons and all of these people you know from people who are affiliated with or caught up in this mueller investigation. i think we are going to see more things to further the argument that this is a witchhunt. that they are out to get him
widespread here over the last several weeks. it s been hot. it s been affecting air quality, also with the smoke from the fires. the elderly and children need to be paying attention to this the next few days. rain would help this. we ve seen some rain in the interior western states but unfortunately the spots that maybe need it the most, right along the coast, from california up to oregon, up to washington, continues to be dry. now, this is a forecast model that s taking us total rainfall precipitation here through the next seven days. again, you re seeing some rain in the interior west. but the spots where the fires have been the worse continues to stay bone dry. now, it hasn t been bone dry on the east. that s something we re going to continue to pay attention to. spotty showers from just outside the eastern side of houston all the way up to new york. if you live on the eastern side of the country, it s been raining and raining. eric? eric: maybe we can give some of the rain here ove
