An extremely dangerous scene playing out right now in hawaii. This is video from a popular tourist town and cultural landmark, the town of lahaina, on the west side of maui. Towering flames, smoke engulfing buildings, they saw people jumping into the ocean trying to escape. The coast guard said it successfully rescued 12 people from the water, and this as several wildfires are rapidly moving on maui and the big island, fanned by Hurricane Dora to the south. Hospitals are overwhelmed with victims. Here is the states Lieutenant Governor on cnn this morning. They are overburdened with burn patients. People are suffering from inhalation. The reality is that we need to fly people out of maui to give them burn support, because Maui Hospital Cannot do extensive burn treatment. Cnns Derek Van Dam joins us now. What i think is keep is the way is really just dawning there, so i think well just start to get a sense of the damage there. Tell us how this happened . Yeah, its really becoming first light, sunrise roughly about 6 30 local time. Really with this satellite imagery, you see the Orange Specks . These are the three active wildfires, as we go forward in time, we start to see that the hot spots arent as bright as what they were overnight when the fires were at their maximum. What we believe is happening is with a little communication they fires are starting at least to maybe their energy and their extreme erratic fire behavior is starting to calm as the winds gradually calm in the coming hours. So thats good news. The late its wind reports there, over 65 Miles Per Hour, but hopefully that would improve. Youre looking at lahaina. You have to keep in mind, this is the economic hub the western maui. This is where tourists go to vacation, this is where people live. This is where their businesses are located. You can see the hot spots on the big island of hawaii as well, and some of the smoke getting blown out to the Western Pacific because of the powerful winds by an area of High Pressure to the north and Hurricane Dora to the southwest. Its creating strong winds gusting over 85 Miles Per Hour last night, and thats whats fueling these erratic pfeiffer behaviors. We have Wind Advisories and red flag warnings in place. This is similar to the santa ana winds. The winds come up and over the mountains in mawu, similar to southern california. The winds increase and the air dries out at the same time, so it leaves the timber box conditions. Well see that at least for the next 12 hours until Hurricane Dora and that High Pressure system moves west. This caught a lot of people by surprised, not the least because some were sleeping when some of the worst was happening. Well be speak to a reporter in maui in just a few minutes as the day is just starting to dawn and were starting to get a sense of howd about the damage is there, jim. Back here at home, today we are learning about a a Campaign Memo laying out a step by step plan to overturn bidens victory and interfere with the electoral college. At the author is an unindicted coconspirator in the case. Before we break down the memo, which it does lay out point by point what they were trying to do here. Lets go to another decision and access to trumps twitter account. We didnt know about this before, but it was something the Special Counsel got access to earlier this year. The Special Counsels office in january got a Search Warrant for Donald Trumps twitter account. This is what it looked like. He was tweeting all the time. What they were looking for, according to the court filing, was evidence of a criminal offense. On top of that, they were telling the court that they didnt want twitter to tell donald trump that this search want was coming through the criminal process. Because they were still investigating, the judge did say twitter could not tell donald trump about this, appeared one of the reasons is there was a fear he could jeopardizes the investigation, potentially destroy evidence, change his owns behavior. What crime specifically did they expect to find evidence on twitter . He has been charged with four crimes theyre related to january 6th. We dont have the underlying documents yet on exactly what things they had probable cause to get the Search Warrant and access to the twitter account, but twitter was not that easy to work for the Justice Department. They took a few days to turn things over, got a 350,000 fine for that delay, didnt tell trump about this as it was taking place. Now we do have this criminal case and we have this newly unsealed opinion. Okay. Lets go to the memo that lays t the plan to put in fake electors that would turn the result over. Yeah, this is a memo thats been out there, but no one has seen until now. This is not a memo that the January 6th Committee was able to get their hands on apparently, but the Justice Department did quote from it. Last week, its a memo written by Ken Chessborrow who is a lawyer working on this scheme, and wrote multiple memos. What happened was initially they wanted these fake electors to come together on when ken chesebro wrote an additional memo thats cited in the indictment, at that time hes saying on december 6th we want it to look like a routine measure that the fake electors are coming together, but actually we need these, because it will create confusion and people will start to believe that maybe mike pence can overturn the outcome of the election. So prosecutors have zeroed in on this thats notable, because it brings the january 6th motion when they were applying pressure to the Vice President to not count votes, shows that weeks before they were talking about this plan in effect to build a confusion to create justification. And the justification even expands to using the court system. One of the thinks chesebro writes is perhaps the Supreme Court wont rule in our favor, but it will help us, because it will create confusion, a public sphere, buy us time for the campaign. I recognize what i suggest is a bold, controversial strategy and there are many reasons why it might not be securitied. Hes putting the plan in place, and the prosecutors use a sharp word here, this is a sharp departure for this memo when he moves it from a theoretical plan. This is key, setting you up a fake controversy. Thats the idea here, they want to create a fake aura of fraud that would allow the president and deceiving the American Public is crucial in this accusation. Kaitlan polantz, thank you for breaking it down. Norm, this memo is new to us. Why is not a departure from the previous projection. This Ken Chesebro Memo represents the missing link between the benign planning before this memo, for example in wisconsin where there really was litigation going on, and there was a genuine question. They were thinking about how to preserve the electors, and as mr. Chesebro says, the bold and unconventional plan is actually an illegal plan controversial, it says. Its beyond controversial. Its blatantly unconstitutional. Thats the word he should have used. Why . Because the constitution does not provide for when electors are not actually representing a winner in a state. The constitutional does not provide for the Vice President to do the things hes called to do on january 6th, presiding over the meeting of congress. This is the memo where he jump into the illegality that the prosecution charges constitutes these three conspiracies. The memo represents, im not necessarily advising this course of action of the hes covering himself with that language. Is some of these caveats enough to do that . If this was the only memo, it probably would not have been enough to constitute a basis for criminal prosecution, but we know its not the only memo. These are allegations from the Special Counsel, but we also saw them from the January 6th Committee. We have seen the stepbystep progression here to this plot that is a blatant violation of the constitutional terms and, therefore, sound basis for allegations of these violations of federal criminal law. So in the context, its not enough, not even close. Trump didnt write this memo. Right now we dont know if he saw it. Obviously its possible. We dont floe that, though. How important is it for the Special Counsel to prove that trump saw it and endorsed it. The Special Counsel does not need to prove that trump saw the memo. He needs to proffer that trump participated in the illegal different. Brianna, in the very next paragraph in the indictment, after this memo is discussed, the Special Counsel points out that contemporaneous in time, donald trump and john eastman, one of the other lawyers identified as an unidentified coconspirator, they on called the head of the rnc and asked her to help procure the fake electors. Theres contemporaneous evidence throughout the trajectory of the conspiracy, more than enough to charge donald trump, and it seems like hes facing an overwhelming amount of evidence. Norm, thank you.

Lawmakers are reacting to news that Senator Feinstein was briefly hospitalized yesterday, after a fall at home. Feinstein is the chambers oldest member and has faced an increasing number of calls to step down, and she has pledged to not run against in 2024. Lauren fox is on capitol hill for us. Lauren, can you tell us whats happening here . Reporter her office says shes fine. She went to the hospital yesterday after a minor fall, and she had routine tests, but all were clear. This is from their statement she went to the hospital as a precaution after a minor fall. All of her scans were clear, and she returned home. Majority leader Chuck Schumer also said he spoke with the senator from california this morning, that she said she was doing fine, shes recovering at home. I think that its important to point out she was absent from the senate for several months. If you remember, back in february she was hospitalized from complications from shingles. She did face calls from democrats saying that she should step aside. When she returned in may, it happened after there was some pressure because her vote on the Senate Judiciary committee was so key to moving forward many of the president s judicial nominations. There have been some moments over the course of the last several months in which she had seemed confused at times, including right before the recess when she was on the senate reappropriations committee, voting to approval a defense spending bill, and she seemed to read a statement why she supported that piece of legislation, instead of just voting aye. She was reminded by her attach it was time to vote and reminded about the chairwoman, and the office set at the time it was just a confusing set of circumstances. She just had a momentary lapse. So she voted yes, and that was the last of it. Well be keeping a close eye on the senators health when they return in september. Jim . This is big political news. Voters in ohio rejected a measure that, among many things, would have 3 Million People showed up to a poll rejecting a constitutional matter that would have vised a threshold for majority. Reporter the reactions reverberating, as they look to ohio for other protective avenues to protect abbores rights in their own constitutions. Some 3 Million People turned out, certainly not becoming a sleepy august election that some Republican Leaders may have hoped when they scheduled this election. One issue was to change the rules to make it more difficult to amend the constitution. It was about far more than that as well. It was about the petition process, how difficult it will be to get petitions on the ballot. This comes a year after the Supreme Court overturned roe versus wade, sending the issue back to the states. We have seen one state after another, from kansas on to kentucky, montana, michigan as well, protecting Abortion Rights in their constitution. This will be a fullon campaign here in ohio. This is going to be the only state where abortion will actually be on the ballot this november. So look for both sides to pour incredible amounts of resources in. With a simple majority to pass that, Abortion Rights proponents believe this is something they can do. Opponents believe this is a place where abortion can be stopped. Jeff zeleny, thank you very much. Certainly implications for 2024, if you see results like in in remarkably red states, like kansas, like kentucky. So right now, there are evacuations underway in multiple parts of hawaii, as fastmoving fires are fueled by he hurricaneforce winds. This is a scene from lahaina. Its just so hard. Im currently upcountry, and i still dont know where my Little Brother is. I dont know where my stepdad is. Everyone i know in lahaina their homes have been burned down. Just please pray for lahaina. With us now, we have Hawaii News Now reporter chelsea davis. It seems like this really caught folks there offguard overnight. Tell us what you have seen and what hack going on . I want to first explain where i am. I am the closest, safest place i can be to the wildfires raging in wealth maui right now. You can see that police have this area completely shut down. Theyre not letting anyone through. No one is allowed on the west side of the island right now, because it is not safe. The fire first broke out yesterday morning around 6 230. Its been over 24 hours here that firefighters have been battles the blaze. This here and the upcountry area, you heard from the resident, theres people upcountry as well. Last night there were fires on the south side of the island. So firefighters, First Responders absolutely have their hands full. Police are not letting anyone in, but they are allowing people out. You are only allowed in if youre an official or first responder. The wind is roaring. A lot of times the wind are calm in the morning, and picked up in the afternoon, but this is an indication theres no sign of this fire stopping or theres no sign of relief because of the winds. Theyre just whipping right now. This line of cars, these are residents of visitors trying to get into there. As weve been talking about, the west side of the island, lahaina and kahana, those are very popular tourist locations, weve seen videos of just structures that are damaged, businesses that are destroyed. Its difficult to talk to people out there, because phone lines are down, cell towers are down, so its hard to get in touch with loved ones to see how theyre doing. We know that shelters have been opened. The red cross has open shelter, but theyve also been evacuating the shell respect as well, heading to the town location here where we are, where its much safer. No signs of this fire stopping anytime soon. Chelsea. Weve had heard officials talking about burn victims, burn so severe that folks need to be taken off the maui so they can get better treatment than is available on the island. What can you tell you about casualties at this point . And also the difficulty of just knowing exactly what those numbers are. It is just about 7 30 a. M. Where you are. The sun has not been up for that long. Reporter yes. First off, in terms of the casualties, information from the county has been real limited, as i mentioned, because phone lines are down. Im sure theyre having a hard time getting in touch with those a scene. Communication is hard to come by. We dont know numbers at this time. We have had heard from the chief Communications Officer for the county of maui that evacuations are extensive and multiple structures have burned, but she doesnt have an exact number. Theyre industry trying to focus on getting people to safety. A lot of people as a matter of fact we just learned that a shelter on the west side, theyre being evacuated from the evacuation shelter. They are leaving the west side, getting out of the area completely. To answer your question, we adopt have exact numbers. Officials are trying to work to get that information. In terms of burns victims, theyre being flown to specialized hospitals for critical burn victims. A huge rhine for that is we only have one acute Care Hospital for this entire island, so they are overwhelmed, doctors. Announcer s, staff members, theyre already at their maximum. They need help. They are flying people to where theres more resources that can helped. Chelsea davis, live for us, well be thinking to stay in touch so we can bring that to these viewers. These pictures are stunning. This is something we have never seen on maui there. Chelsea, thank you so much for the live report. We do appreciate it. Jim . Just devastating scenes.

And saudi arabia have agreed on a general outline of a deal for saudi arabia to recognize the state of israel and normalize relations. The journal says negotiators hope to cement an agreement within the next 12 months. The white house says a lot of negotiations are Still Necessary before any such agreement can be signed. Kylie atwood joins us from the state of department. So year that long time. It sounds like a lot more need to be worked out. We know they have been focused on this for years now, and in an accelerated way in the last few months, to see if they can get a deal. But the Wall Street Journal saying today that the broad contours have been agreed to. The white house is saying that that mischaracterizes where they are at. Were also hearing from Israels National Security adviser today saying that any sort of agreement here isnt expected before the end of the year. So what that tells us is these efforts are just, you know, still in intense efforting phases right now. We should also note that President Biden sat down with a New York Times journalist earlier this summer, and he said he is considering some sort of mutual Security Path between the u. S. And saudi arabia that would include potentially the normal normalization, but what u. S. Officials want to be clear is that the palestinians are not left behind. What those concessions would look like is one of the remain questions here. Jim . Of course, looming large over all of this is iran, a top threat to all three of those countries. Thanks so much, kylie. It is deadline day for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits and also other exposures to sign up for retroactive benefits.

It lets vet rants get taxfree payments backdated to august 10th, 2022. Burn pits were commonly used to Incinerate Biohazard waste, all kinds of things at military sites in iraq, afghanistan and other paces. Millions of military Service Members were exposed to the fumes that could laead to cances and respiratory diseases. Pete buttigieg joins us now. Sir, thank you so much for being with us. We know veterans can still apply after today, but if they want to see the retroactive payments, they do need to file by the end of today. This is an verse of a huge achievement, but ive heard from gold star Family Members just finding out that they may be eligible. How current are you about people slipping through the cracks . I want to emphasize, this is not a deadline to get benefits, but for those to be retroactive. Theyre not even requiring you to complete the process, just that you start it in order to qualify for the retroactive benefits back to last august. This was an extraordinary moment. I was there when the president signed that bill almost a year ago. I got to tell you, it was by par the most emotional event for me. There are so many people who served not just post9 11, but vietnam war and other conflicts, many of whom knew the dangers that facing, but not the air that we were breathing. Already hundreds of thousands of veterans have filed for claims and hundreds of thousands have gotten benefit. This to be clear is a commitment that lasts a lifetime. When you raise your right hand and the promise to put your life on the line for the country, that is a blank check people are writing to the United States of america, which is why it deserves to be met and responded to with a lifelong commitment. Thats exactly what this administration and under this law, future administrations will be upholding for everyone who served under these conditions. Look, it was an amazing day. I was there as well. It is one of those events where you think, man, i wasnt sure i was going to ever see this. Dod has mostly at this point stopped using burn pits. They are used as a last resource in some places like syria. We have recently seen this water crisis at a Military Base in hawaii that affected so many family. You have that reporting about marines poise are noted by water on the uss boxer and the navy didnt acknowledge it under it was uncovered by reporters this summer. What will it take to change the culture of the military when it comes to what they expose Service Members too, and convince them to be proactive . Well, i think it teenage vigilance, oversight and leadership. President biden has been very clear to everybody in this administration and in the cabinet the priority that he places on taking care of veterans. General austin or secretary austin lives and breathes the wellbeing of those who serve and so does secretary mcdonough, who leads the va. The pact act, which takes the lead for veterans, is an example of what it takes to raise the bar and never be satisfied with yesterdays norms, when it comes to taking care of todays veterans and activeduty Service Members. Just this week i was speaking to a former marine jag, who as severe parkinsons after he was exposed to chemically contaminated water at camp lejeune. He says its too late for him, he knows that, hes fighting for future Service Members. One of the things weve been seeing is this trend with Recruitment Numbers in the military. Do you think problems like this are contributing to the Recruitment Crisis . If we want to recruit the next generation of Service Members, we have to demonstrate this is a country that will take care of them. Well take care of you while youre serving and if anything happens because of your service, we will take care of you the rest of your life. The pact act is one example. Several other measures that have been taken continue to reflect that. But theres no Question Recruiting the most important reason is just its the right thing to do. I had one tour in afghanistan. I think about people who served there on their third, fourth, fifth tour, and a couple of them wen went ban more times. We have to do right by the men and women who put their lives on the line and wrote that blank check, saying they would give whatever it took to secure our ability to remain safe here at home. Most people are Writing Checks to the government, because this is taxpayer money that pays for this. Do you think theres increasingly an understanding it would be cheaper to just make sure that these things dont happen, rather than deal with them on the back end when they get so expensive. Were seeing the costs financially, even to people who have not served. Thats exactly right. Any idea that you can save takes pair dollars by going on the cheap, that is an illusion, to say nothing of the moral cost. Sooner or later that bill comes due, and were not shying away from stepping up. I dont think invite people who were involved in the pact act in shape it or signing it, none of them were Decision Makers during the vietnam war, yet that was an action they took responsibility, really on behalf of the american taxpayers, took responsibility for taking care of the veterans. I know that these things can be expensive. Thats one of the reasons it took a lot of work to get that act through. A lot of service mobs, like the one you described, also facing severe, sometimes terminal condition, some camped on capitol hill saying youve got to get this done. Members of both chambers and both parties agreed, the president strongly agreed, so we can see how progress is made. Any idea that its not worth it values far too cheaply the service of the people we count on every day, whether we realize it or not. Thats why we wanted to talk to you about this today. There are still hours left in the day for folks who need to Pay Attention to this important deadline for them, for these back benefits. Transportation secretary pete buttigieg, we appreciate your time today to talk about this. Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate you having me on. Jim .
