The weekend. Well detail that in a few minutes. Back to the news. Were following breaking news in Southern California where the wildfires continue to burn. A new one ignited and theyre calling it the skur val fire. Not far from the one in ventura fire. Gina kim is up early with us. Good morning, chris. The Weather Service issued a pretty blunt dire warning overnight saying extremely critical fire weather conditions could cause rapid fire spread once again today here in Southern California. Were seeing a little bit of this right now as we speak. We cant seem to catch a break four days into this kind of devastation. Were expecting 50 to 80 mile an hour gusts sustained through today. Thursday, all day. That has fire officials throwing up their hand saying conditions this bad, they will not be able to stop the fire. Were also expecting summerlike conditions, single digit humidity as well as temperatures that could get up to 80 degrees in some areas. Of the four fires that are actively burn
it s interesting, of course it s going to be trading the next day on certain news events that come out to, but essentially, djt was always a way for people to feel like they have a way to contribute to his campaign because all donald trump s going to do most likely is go ahead and sell his share and stake in that a company, and the higher valuation that is, the more he ll have to finance his campaign. it s not even a stock you want to a pay attention to make money. it s not meant to make money, it s meant to finance his campaign, another reason why trump s donations up the past couple of days after his conviction. djt is similar to that. neil: well, not exclusively for his campaign, but he will get a few billion bucks out of it at a minimum, so there is that. luke, thank you very much. luke lloyd on all of that. want to draw your anticipation to this, neil, you really love anything having to do with space, don t you? i am officially an astronaut. all right, maybe i m not. gene cernan
