Next to air force one, the retired president ial plane. Kpmt this debate to have plenty of fireworks. 15 candidates going out on the sunday talk shows this morning on full attack mode. First up, Donald Trump Center stage and still dominating the polls. Well, im a deal maker. Ill make great deals for this country. Ben cant do that. Bens a doctor and hes not a deal maker. Im gratified to see that so many people are starting to listen to what im saying and evaluating it on its merits as opposed to listening to what people have portrayed me as saying. Its about five months out. Weve got the time to make the grass roots connections and get that message out. I have no doubt i could come down to congress, not cave like other people have done, and get the job done. Just some of what we heard this morning. Over the next two hours, we have all the political angles ahead of the big debate. Our correspondents, contributors including debate moderator jake tapper. Lets go straight to california. Thats where we find brook baldwin. Hi, brook. I am full on geeking out right now. I dont know if you can tell. But i mean, i hit the ground here in california on friday afternoon, poppy. You would love this. I will enjoy this extra for you, my friend. Being here in simi valley, flanked by the mountain rage to my left. I walked around the area where the debate stage is set. Let me just say just the history, walking through air force one, a little bit of Ronald Reagan trivia, he was a big birthday guy. Any time a member of the press was on air force one and have a birthday, he would always have a cake on the ready for them. Forgive me, im geeking. Back to whats happening this coming wednesday. One of the things well be watching for is the tone of the candidates. This morning on cnns state of the Union Reince Priebus was asked about that very same thing and whether he thought all the listen, this has gotten extraordinarily personal, all this negative rhetoric would hurt the partys chance to win the white house. Heres what he said. The way you communicate in tone and very important. Sometimes its not what you say, its how you say it. I think all of our moms have told us that. But, look, all these candidates are going to have to account for their own mouths and their own words. Reporter listen, tone, not the only issue that could be problematic for some of these candidates come wednesday night. Another issue potentially for the rnc. Two candidates have now come forward and have said they will not support donald trump if he is the eventual nominee. Pataki tweeting this this morning, says, let me be very plain, i am not going to vote for donald trump. He is unfit to be president. He goes on, i would hope that every one of my fellow candidates will stand up and say our party cannot nominate donald trump to which trump responded, he jumped on twitter this morning, why is someone like George Pataki who registered zero in the polls allowed on the debate stage. Trump went onto tout his record during an interview for cbss face the nation. Ive created a tremendous company. I have some of the greatest assets in the world. To be honest with you im not saying that to brag. Im just saying thats the kind of mind set that our country needs. Reporter all this drama comes after the rnc got all the republican candidates, remember, to sign this loyalty pledge stating they would not mount a thirdparty run if they lost out on the partys nomination. We should mention here, there will be one fewer candidate on the stage on a couple buildings away from me for the socalled happy hour debate. That airs at 6 00 before the prime time debate two hours later at 8 00. That is Texas Governor rick perry bowing out friday because of poll numbers and Financial Issues with his campaign. That is some news we wanted to get to you. To cnn political director who has been here in simi valley for the last couple of days. I know were going to get to your cheat sheet, but we need to geek out together. Just to see the setup, to see air force one, everything you guys have set up is truly phenomenal. It will be no doubt a f fantastic evening. I went to go visit Ronald Reagans grave site. Its just out back here in the libra library. You read his quotes and you think, this really is the father of the modern republican movement. All the issues that are going to be debated here, he is the revered figure in the party. Its the Perfect Place to be for this debate. With your cheat sheet, if we had to think of three things that you will be watching for, what is number one . Number one is trump versus the field. You were pointing to governor pataki and Bobby Jindals tweets this morning. Every candidate has to figure out what is their approach about donald trump. Do they want to link arms with him and they also have to prepare for the counter punch. Donald trump has said that is what he does best. So i think everyone on that stage has to figure out how to have a moment connected to the conversation and as you know, the entire conversation of this campaign right now is about donald trump. Its so true. Jeb bush wished it werent. We saw him with the superman move and the tshirt on underneath. I dont know if that will be happening here wednesday night. Item number two . Jebs fortitude. This is a big jeb bush debate. Hes going to be tested for his own strength. Does he have the ability to stand up next to donald trump and take him on . As you know donald trump has been relentless in his attacks against jeb bush. Jeb bush shied away during this first debate and that caused a lot of concern inside his land of supporters. In the last couple weeks, jeb bush has been taking on donald trump rhetorically on the trail. Were talking inches away. I was standing on the stage hes got to prove that he is willing not just to advocate for his own candidacy, but actually take on the trump attack. Do you think theyll look each other in the eye . I dont know. Item number three is is the fiorina factor. Shes on the big kids stage. She had a superb debate last anytime on the undercard. I think having the only woman on stage and a fierce political fighter. That is what Carly Fiorina is. She does not take it from anybody. I think her energy, the fact that shes the only woman and the new element on the stage is like watch out for what the Carly Fiorina factor is. And just to quickly add onto all of that, Walking Around this area, this is not like the big cleveland cavalier arena. This is much more intimate. You have, what, 500 people and there are people sitting 5 feet from those candidates. So intimate and quiet. It is intimate, it is quiet. Which doesnt necessarily match their goals in the moment of what they need to accomplish. In what has been a pretty noisy campaign so far. Now to calibrate in that intimate setting will be an interesting test for them. Pressures on. Well be here. At the bottom of the hour, jake tapper, who is moderating this whole thing, takes us back inside the library as to how the stage, how its getting set for wednesday night. For the meantime, poppy, back to you. You guys make a great geek out team, brooke. I feel like youre going to sleep at the Reagan Library youre so excited to be there. Totally. Brookes going to be live with me from the Reagan Library tonight for the next two hours. But lets talk a little bit more about the debate, whats at stake. With me here in new york, contributing editor of the atlantic and the national jurn. Also in dallas, cnn political commentator ben ferguson. Thank you for being with me. These candidates, all of them praising Ronald Reagan. Every time they get a chance, they seem to want to be the next reagan, right . Even down to jeb bush. Take a look at that. Who has tried to down play his family connections at times revealing that old reagan bush tshirt from 1984. But is donald trump the candidate making the most obvious effort to align himself with reagan jumping from hollywood really if you will and to politics trying to reach the highest office in the land when critics, even Carly Fiorina calling him an entertainer. Is that a fair comparison . I think its a somewhat flawed comparison. Reagan was a stalwart of the conservative Movement Really going back to 1964 when he burst onto the scene. Right. He was someone who was very aligned id logically for a long time. Yes, he was an entertainer. But he had decades of being in republican politics. What makes trump so unusual, he has no history really with the conservative movement. Used to be used to be a democrat. Up until very recently he had a lot of liberal positions. Reagan was very scripted guy. Trump is completely unscripted. No one has any idea whats going to come out of his mouth. Which makes compelling television. Ben, i do want to ask you specifically about this. You heard before with brooke that sound bite from Reince Priebus this morning responding to jake tappers question to him about the comments especially from donald trump about immigrants and hispanics in this country. Priebus said, look, the candidates are going to have to be held accountable for their own words. Are republicans in danger do you think in the long term of not getting the traction they need with hispanics . No, i think donald trump is at risk with that specific question, but not the rest of the field. Donald trump is his own guy in a very weerld, unique way. Hes not defining the republican party. Hes not the center of the republican when he comes on stage, he doesnt even know i think half the time what hes going to say. Which is why people like him because hes so real, raw, and doesnt seem like a scripted politician. Its played to his advantage. Hes mastered that, im not your normal politician. But i dont think hes i dont think anyone thats looking at donald trump is thinking, gosh, is it donald trump or these other nine people . Theyre all so similar. Theyre not similar. Theyre drastically different. Let me get ben consider son is a great example. Sure, they are drastically different. Let me ask you about this. Peter, you wrote this fascinating article a few years ago for the daily beast. You argued that Ronald Reagan would have a tough time winning the republican nomination today. Because as president he actually grew the federal government, he raised taxes several times, he also signed the 1986 immigration bill which essentially gave amnesty to 2. 7 Million Immigrants in this country. Do you think republicans have forgotten all of those key things that the reagan presidency stood for. Yes, he was a conservative. But he was not doctrine in the way republicans are being forced to be now. He also nominated two of the three Supreme Court oconnor was very unpopular among conservatives. And two of the three people he appointed voted to uphold abortion rights. Although he talks in very conservative ways, har conning back to a traditional 1950s america, americans liked Social Security and medicare, they didnt want the government to mess with it. They didnt want the government to get them into any new wars. Reagan had an appreciation for where the country actually was. I think some of these republicans today focused on pleasing certain Interest Groups theyve lost that. Well be watching what happens. Ben, i need they all want to be reagan. We will leave it at that. As always, gentlemen, thank you very much. You will not want to miss the gop president ial debate. The candidates facing off in backtoback debates. It is wednesday night, september 18th at 6 00 and 8 00 p. M. Well be right back. Col i know, i know. Ing. Color is a beautiful thing if you feel it, you can find it. All new color by behr.

It tells you why a state of emergency has been declared in noerp california where two huge wildfires are quickly gaining ground. The fastmoving flames have scorched at least 100,000 acres and forced thousands of people out of their homes. Those are only two of the braises that firefighters are currently up against. You see them dotted on the map from the north to the south. Take a look how tough this summer has been. Extremely dry conditions. It is only expected to get worse. That is a very rapid rate of spread. Very dangerous situation obviously because you can see what has happened today. Its just a reminder, this is how the conditions are in california right now. With the temperatures and low humidity, four years of a drought, the conditions are very extreme. The valley fire exploded in size to 40,000 acres in less than 24 howevers. Evacuations have been ordered for several communities including the town of middletown. Stephanie is with us live from napa county. We are in northern napa county. The state of emergency declared by the governor affect napa county and lake county. Theyre right at a road closure where theyre telling people to turn around because of these fires. That valley fire, really, really exploded quite quickly. Going from 10,000 to 40,000 in just such a a little bit of time. And because of that, 5,000 people without power we do know about. There were four firefighters hurt. In stable condition with Second Degree burns. But we do know between this fire and another, which is 55,000 acres, theres a lot of damage, a lot of turmoil. They think there may have been 85 homes destroyed and another 6,100 that are threatened. They know that homes have been destroyed in the valley fire, but theyre not confirming the numbers just yet. It is still very warm up here. I can tell you as soon as we got off the plane, the first thing you smell is the fire. We were still very many miles away from it. Its all across this Northern California area, you can see it in the sky. Its hazy everywhere and you can smell that smell. When you cover wildfires its unmistakable that sense of a raging wildfire just all throughout the air. The photos were seeing are just unbelievable and devastating educationst especially for the thousands of people who have had to evacuate their homes. Well have more with stephanie.

The question is, will she sign or approve new samesex licenses . Her own defense attorney tells cnn he doesnt know whats going to happen come tomorrow. But he does say davis has been put in an impossible position. She is asking for something very simple and that is just accommodate her by removing her name and title off these certificates. Kind of like what you have already with some of the other licenses in kentucky such as the vehicle registration licenses. Theyre issued not under the name of the authority or the local clerk of a particular county, but under the authority of the commonwealth of kentucky. If the licenses were changed to do that, she could process them, file them in records just like she does other documents. You talk to kim davis, shes a humble woman. Shes private. Shes a quiet individual. She never wanted to be in this position. In a heartbeat, she would go back to her previous quiet, tranquil life that shes done in this community. She doesnt want to be thrust in the spotlight. The last place she wants to be is to have this very, very difficult decision that no one wants to have. That is choose your job or choose your faith. Do you worry about any potential conflict tomorrow when she reports to work . Essential i do worry about that. We spent a lot of time with kim, and shes an amazing individual. She is someone who loves people. She loves god. She doesnt want to be in this situation. I should note under current kentucky state law, the authority to issue marriage licenses rests solely with each of the states 120 county clerks. That means it would take an act of a legislature to transfer authority away from kim davis. The legislatudggislature there convening until january 25th. A lot riding on wednesdays debate. Brooke baldwin in simi valley, california. Reporter listen, we are three days away from a massive, massive show in a building just adjacent to me here at the Ronald Reagan library.

Crews incredibly busy with the finishing touches ahead of wednesday night. Taking place at the beautiful Ronald Reagan president ial library in californias stunning simi valley. The debate stage, take a look at that. Crews working hard around the clock. In the backdrop, something pretty amazing. The boeing 707 that served as air force one during Ronald Reagans term in office. Facing the candidates on that stage, jake tapper will moderate the debate. Brooke baldwin is there and loving every minute of it. You guys can make fun of me all you want, geeking out here and getting excited. Were three days away. Weve been talking about it so much. Just Walking Around and seeing where all 11 candidates will be seated and much more intimate situation. 500 people seated. I should mention, there are some of the front row seats. Youre 5 feet from the candidates come wednesday. Well be watching. I have cnn politics executive editor mark preston with me now. Just first and foremost, before we get into scott walker, impressio impressions . First of all, the weather is beautiful. What a site to have a president ial library on top of a hill just looking out. Its gorgeous. Quite frankly, inside outdistances what were seeing out here. The people who have come here everything. Amazing. Lets talk about Governor Scott walker. Republican governor of wisconsin. This is typically a blue state. Union buster. So hes taken on the recall challenge, weathered through that. When you look at him in the polls, though, hes slipping. So hes sixth nationally. Ten when you look at how hes doing in iowa. He talked to us on state of the union. He said, listen, i have to step it up. This election seems to be at least right now about embracing outsiders, republicans liking donald trump and dr. Ben carson and Carly Fiorina, people who have never before held elective office. We just saw governor rick perry, the longest serving governor in Texas History drop out. You have spent a lifetime working in politics and government. Why should voters and how are you going to convince them that youre the right choice when theyre desperate for somebody who is not part of politics in government . Because they actually want someone who can get the job done. All these other folks can talk all they want. Barack obama had never been in government before. Ive run things. Ive actually got things done. If you want someone who will fight and win. Not just win three elections in four years in a blue state like we did. But win and get results without compromising common sense conservative principles, then im the candidate. I want to loop back in a second to his point about the electorate has spoken. But in terms of being aggressive, taking on lets just say it, drurp directly, we see how other candidates have faired and thus their poll numbers. Should he do that, do you think . Only if hes directing attacking him. The bottom line is, i dont think Republican Voters are looking for somebody to take on donald trump as they are to show some leadership and be forceful about it. We saw Carly Fiorina back in the first debate in august. Thats why she moved from the smaller debate up to the prime time debate on wednesday night. She showed she had leadership and was forceful. Donald trumps candidacy has been fueled by his ability to try to be stronger than everyone else. Its gotten totally nasty and personal in the back and forth. For the most part, theyve played nice. I can recall rand paul trying to jump in. But i think wednesday will be a total flip of that. There are going to be certain moments throughout the night where youre going to see the likes of jeb bush who has been under a barrage of criticism of donald trump. Carly fiorina has said that she is going to go after donald trump. In some ways, you can do it. But i dont think youre going to be successful, certainly the likes of john kasich and scott walker, youre going to lose. Let me play a little bit more sound from Governor Walker this morning. Jake tapper was asking about appealing to the electorate. As i mentioned, those polling the best right now are really the outsiders. Heres what he told jake. The biggest thing is just last time around i waited until questions came to us. I think were going to step it up and be more aggressive this time. Step it up. Its the same sort of theme of aggression. Whats interesting about the donald trump criticism, he said it about ben carson the other day, low energy. Scott walker was low energy in the last debate. He is supposed to be the outsider politician. At least he portrayed himself to be, that would come to washington and shake things up. You look at scott walker and i think you walked away from that debate in august disappointed. He needs a moment to show that he can advocate conservative values. Do not forget this coming wednesday night the republican president ial candidates facing backtoback debates. Make sure you watch here the first debate at 6 00, then the biggie at 8 00 here on cnn. Well be right back. I have type 2 diabetes. I started with pills. And now i take a longacting insulin at night. I take mine in the morning. I was trying to eat right, stay active.

Turning now to the refugee crisis unfolding in europe where germany is now taking action to stop more migrants from entering the country, it is reintroducing what it describes as temporary border controls. Meanwhile, as europe begins to absorb tens of thousands of refugees, many of them fleeing syria, there is a growing debate in israel about what should be done. Reporter refugee loaded trains running again in europe. A traumatic reminder of a nightmare childhood for one girl. She was born in rumania in 1940. We in the 30s and 40s found all the gates closed in front of us. When you see the scenes of what has happened at the train station in budapest, you cant forget the trains that led the jews to their death. Reporter she remembers her family being forced from their home when she was a little girl and years of hiding in terror from the nationzinazis. She looks at pictures from 70 years ago and shutters. Shes one of a growing number of Holocaust Survivors to take in refugees. Why does it strike such a cord with Holocaust Survivors . I think many of them have been traumatized by the kind of pictures theyve seen, by the number of people op the roads with babies, certainly the picture of that baby dead on the beach is something which has been a wakeup call to many. Reporter theres been a growing debate within israel about whether to take in any refugees since israel and syria share a tense border. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu says it would threaten israel security. Translator israel is a small country that lacks demographic and geographic depth. Therefore we must control our borders both against illegal m migrants and terrorism. Reporter when jews speak of the holocaust, they often say never again. She says for that to mean something, never again has to apply to every one. Cnn, telaviv. Thank you for that report. I want to bring in now a woman who came to this country as a refugee from bosnia in 1998. Joining me from massachusetts, thank you for being here. Thank you for having me, poppy. You are currently a student at harvard and you and your friends started this group, this twitter campaign, Facebook Campaign that i saw actually traveling overseas last week. And the hash tag is, i was also a refugee. What is it about, what does it mean to you . Thats right, poppy. So again, we also were inspired just about a week ago seeing those images coming from europe to do something. And being three former refugees ourselves, you know, and knowing the stories of many other refugees in our communities, we thought that its important to share our stories. The reason being that often refugees are viewed as a burden, a potential burden on society, people who come to, you know, take something for free. And we just know from our experiences and our families experiences that thats not the case. Surely many refugees need help in this beginning. But if given a chance, these are people who work hard to build their livelihoods and their lives again. I want to hear a little bit about your personal story coming from bosnia after the war tore apart that country. Combing here to oakland, california in 1998. You talk about your family coming over. Tell us what it was like for you personally. Thats right. I came here as a teenager. I was 15 years old. My mom came here with my brother and i and really just two bags full of clothing and nothing else. We had no family in the united states. And so they housed us under their roof for the first couple of weeks and then, like you said, you know, we were on government food stamps and welfare, but that only lasted about six months on so. Soon after that, all three of us started to work. My mother was working two jobs as a nurse assistant. My brother and i were both in high school at the time but working nights and weekends to make sure we made ends meet. Even within the first year or two, we even paid back the air fare that was sponsored for us by the u. N. Agency that brought us here to the united states. Wow. Now youre at harvard. One of your friends that started this with you i believe working for nasa. You make the point that you dont have to go to harvard and be getting your doctorate and achieve all this. Thats right. There are many people former refugees that i know, some of whom started Small Businesses as electricians or contractors, as photographers. Others are contributing in science, in the arts, in sports. Others are just living happy, normal lives and are building their families. I mean, i think that, again, you know, refugees just like any part of society come in many different flavors. But i think the main point is that almost none of them expect to get by for free and that many of these people work hard and often twice as hard because they really start from nothing to be able to and dont expect much to be given something for free, but rather to work for it. So important to put a face to it. Look at all that you have accomplished since coming to this country. Thank you so much. I appreciate you being with us, telling your personal story. I do want to point people again to the Facebook Page where they can learn more ialsowasa refugee. Thank you. Coming up next, fortunes list of the 50 most powerful women in business.

We put her here for the way she dealt with this horrible crisis in the past year. She took over the job and then immediately after sort of inherited the crisis. It wasnt under her watch but the way she led the company out of it, still dealing with it but the way she dealt with the recall and the way she is contrite and immediately took responsibility and kind of exemplary leadership. You talk about how so many of these women lead traditionally maleled business, Lockheed Martin, hp, general motors, et cetera. A lot of them Steering Companies through crises. When we started to do the lists the women were in media, advertising or beauty business. Those are big businesses but what we have seen over time is they are running like you said, Lockheed Martin t general dynamics, hp.
