Thousands of firefighters are on the line. Three died earlier this week in North Central washington. Carter evans spoke to the widow of one of those men. Hes in eess there. Reporter good morning. Investigators are still trying to determine what happened. We know rick wheeler was in a fire engine with two other firefighters when it crashed and flames overtook them. I heard on the news first about the three firefighterses be killed in the fire up in twisp and i had a gut feeling. It was the moment celeste wheelers life changed forever. In the ten years her husband rick had been fighting fires there had never been bad news. I tried to call him a few times and i just knew that he would call me as soon as he could. And that call wasnt coming. That call wasnt coming, no. It didnt come. Reporter instead, two Police Officers came to the door. Then i knew what had happened. Reporter celeste and rick had known each other in high school. When they started dating in college, rick had already found his calling. Hes a fourth generation firefighter. So its in his blood. Its in his blood. Yeah. As soon as he started working he just loved it. Reporter an avid outdoorsman he loved to hunt and fish. He paid his way through college fighting fires in the summer. Rick rick was good at it. He had that ability to think quickly on his feet. I feel like he was not afraid of anything. Reporter he often spent weeks on the fire line in remote areas with no cell service. Celeste could go days without hearing from her husband. That must have been hard. It must be so hard. It was hard, yeah. But being with him was so worth the hardship. When you close your eyes is there one particular imyou see of him. Just his smile. He was just so such a happy, happy person. He could brighten up my day any time. Im going to miss that so much. Where do you go from here . I really dont know. I never never thought this would happen. I dont know. I dont have any sort of idea whats going to happen next. Reporter its important to keep in mind that rick wheeler is just one of more than 29,000 firefighters battling flames on the fire lines this morning across the west, vinita, each one of them with loved ones hanging on the news report. Such a heartbreaking story. Thank you so much. An estimated 20,000 turned out last night at the football stadium in alabama for donald trump. He did not disappoint the enthusiastic crowd. Julianna goldman is in our washington room with more on that. Good morning, julianna. Good morning. Last nights rally did fall short of the more than 30,000 that the campaign had predicted but it didnt seem to bother donald trump. He shows he plans to compete in the early stakes and hes in it for the long run. He arrived in mobile, alabama, and offered up some typical trump flair. You know, if it rains, ill take off my hat and prove ill prove ill prove once and for all that its mine, okay . My second Favorite Book of all time. Whats my first Favorite Book. The bible. A special guest didnt even stump trump. Donald, welcome to my hometown of mobile, alabama. Reporter senator Jeff Sessions who gave trump the hat gave him a ringing endorsement. The american people, these people, want somebody in the presidency to stand up for them. We welcome you here. Thank you for the work youve put into the immigration issue. Im really impressed with your plan. Reporter as a sitting u. S. Senator and the head of an immigration subcommittee sessions support gives weight to the republicans frontrunners rhetoric. Im a proven conservative with a record. Reporter earlier this week jeb bush took on the businessman saying his plan wasnt conservative but also tried to jumen onto the trump wagon, calling immigrants anchor babies. You give me a better term and ill use it, im serious. When jeb bush although now he is using anchor baby. Anchor baby. Ewing it. While on stage he mentioned an attack in boston that had some link to rhetoric this week. One of them justified his action to police by saying he agreed with trump on immigration. Trump initially said the incident was a shame but noted the passion of his supporters and eventually tweeted yesterday its terrible, adding we need energy and passion. Respect. Anthony . Julianna goldman in washington. Thank you, julianna. For more on the campaign were good morning. Good morning. The poll had him up 2117. Is that why jeb bush is now on the offensive with donald trump . That and hes leading in texas. All i keep thinking about in this relationship, did you guys see happy gilmore . Heres a rough hockey player who finds out he can hit a golf ball a mile, right. Donald trump is a businessman and found out he can going on a political stump speech and hit a golf ball a mile. What happens in happy gilmore, he starts winning. The establishment takes him but they realize the tv ratings are way up, they realize hes bringing this whole new crowd in to watch golf and eventually the leader of the tour starts imitating happy gilmores stroke. I think theres a little bit of that with jeb bush. He realizes that. And the ontario candidates, they realize donald trump has patched into this sort of disgruntled nature, antiestablishment feeling thats pretty prevalent in the republican party. Jeb bush, a pretty mild mannered guy is starting to emulate trump a little bit. You say mild mannered. We heard trump say low energy. That the people with him right now are sleeping. Do you think those bauschingsrbs are starting to work . Trump is one of the greatest insulters of our time. For jeb bush to start counteracting him and go after him its almost like a rap battle between james taylor and eminem. Youre just full of them. I love it. Basically they feel ultimately the air will run out of this. Are the pundits wrong . Is there a chance he can win the nomination . You know, hes got this momentum thats not going away. The latest reuters poll had him at about 30 of all the candidates and jeb bush had 16 . You know, a month ago the same poll was about dead even. So, you know, the question is he peaking too early or can he keep going . Whats amazing to me, heres a guy he gets a lot of money to spend on ads but he doesnt have to spend a dime on ads because the media has given up the prefix of equal time. Theyre like, look, this guy brings the ratings, were going to air him. Thank you so much. South korea and north korea are holding their first highlevel talks in northeasterly a year this morning. The meeting is aimed at averting a possible military confrontation. The north says its prepared to engage in all out war. The latest fight is over loud speakers constructed by the south used to announce north korea propaganda across the border. We have two big storms to talk about in the atlantic. Hurricane danny has weakened from a category 3 to a category 2. It has maximum sustained winds of 100 miles an hour. Its more than 700 miles east of the Leeward Islands and its expected to become a Tropical Storm by sunday. In the pacific storm Tropical Storm kilo could become a hurricane and hit hawaii early next week. Kilo has sustained winds up to 40 miles an hour.

Stocks got crushed on friday with the dow losing more than 500 points. That made it a nearly 6 loss on monday, the worst week of the year. The s p and nasdaq also took a beating losing more than 3 on friday. The market plunge was mostly about the flagging economy. Lets talk about michael santoli, senior columnist for yahoo finance. Good morning. Good morning. Weve had a sixyear market is it fair to say its ending . Its a gutwrenching sect. We were down last ochlkt emerging markets have been suffering for months. Youve had this kind of slow motion crash in a lot of parts of the world. Risky credits, all these things. U. S. Stocks were hovering, kind of immune to it until the last couple of weeks. You said other parts of the world. Lets talk about what happened in china. What led to them de valle ewing their currency . Lots of things. Theyve had a slowdown in their own autonomywe ton economy for a while and theyve also had a lot of turmoil obviously. Theyve had a tremendous rise in the mainland market over the past year, year and half, which was explicitly encouraged by the authorities. They wanted to speculate and then tamped it down. It seems the pullback has gotten very vie lenl and out of the authoritys control. All of these things are moving aurnld causing the rest of the world to say are we overreliant that china can go like clock work. And that china may be even weaker than we thought it was. The defensemen talking about they are prepared to raise the interest rate. Is that going to challenge . Nge . They believe it is. They call it the normalization process. Weve been at zero percentage rauts for a long time. But i do think theyre saying if this is all we got at this many years at zero percentage rates and theyre prepared to change rates, is that going to be just another thing piled on. So this is all the things were dealing with. I do think one of the positives here, as i said, Everything Else had sold off before big u. S. Stocks did. So the sentiment is very negative and you do have the potential for look last october people to say, well, nothing really fundamental has changed about the u. S. Economy. Thank you so much.
