Almost 900 firefighters on the front lines trying to contain them. Getting an upper hand here. The heavy smoke in Northern California now visible from space. We have imagery from nasa. Its pretty incredible, that image there. Heres what we ne know this morning. 16 large fires are burning. 5,700 structures have been destroyed. 100,000 people have been evacuated. At least 40 fatalities as the deadliest wildfires in california history rage on. Unfortunately the conditions today will not be favorable. Were looking at more wind and low humidity.

As we said, the conditions for firefighters today looking tough. Yeah, rob is tracking that part of the story for us this morning. Hi there, rob. Good morning, guys.

The governor is now out with a new estimate for when power will be fully restored. Mid december. Abcs victim Victor Oquendo is in san juan. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning, dan and paula. Communication is also still so bad across the island, many of the people we spoke with had no idea what the governor had said about power being restored. They actually found out through us that they likely wont have power for another two months. This morning, more than 85 of puerto rico waking up without power and the governor now says it will be this way for about another two months. He doesnt expect the majority of the island to have power restored until december 15th. Two more months of sweltering heat for the people of this neighborhood outside san juan.

Theyre ready for any patient that comes through the door. Dan, paula. Victor, thank you so much. So much suffering. And again, these are american citizens. We appreciate it, victor. Back here on the mainland, an ominous warning to republicans from the president s former chief strategist, steve bannon. In a fiery speech, he says conservative voters are coming for them. David wright is at the white house for us this morning. David, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, paula and dan. Steve bannon was speaking to the values voter summit here in washington, d. C. His speech quite warmly received. It offered some real insights into the mentality of trump loyalists. An angry crowd who see themselves at war with the gop establishment. This is not my war. This is our war. [ cheers and applause ] reporter trumps former chief strategist insists the president is winning that war. Every day is like Christmas Day now. I cant wait to get up. Its going to be a new package. This is the trump program. This is what we always wanted. Reporter as steve bannon sees it, trumps first year has been a trial by fire. You have the bay of pigs in venezuela. You have the cuban missile crisis in korea. You have vietnam in afghanistan. Thats not his doing. Reporter bannon says republicans and democrats share the blame. Bannon cited republican senator bob corkers sharp words to the New York Times last week about President Trump. We could be headed toward world war iii with the kind of comments hes making. Reporter comments that no gop senator has condemned. Corker said he gave up the game. He said, hey, theres only one or two senators up here that have any respect or admiration for President Trump. The rest of em all talk like i do behind closed doors. Right now, its a season of war against a gop establishment. [ cheers and applause ] reporter yet, even as bannon was blasting the republican establishment, President Trump was teeing off with one of its key members, senator lindsey graham. This was, by our account, the 72nd day of his administration that the president visited a golf course, usually one of his own. 72 days. Although his aides are cagey about whether he actually does golf on these outings. Yesterday, he did. Now, President Trump, as of today, has been in office 268 days. If you do the math, thats 1 out of every 4 days visiting a golf course. Dan and paula. And we know how long a round of golf can take, as well. David wright, thank you for your reporting from the white house. And he had some pretty tough words for obama and his golfing habit. He certainly did. We want to bring in our chief anchor George Stephanopoulos whos going to be hosting this week this morning. First and foremost, steve bannon. Basically saying hes declaring war on the republican establishment. Saying this is not my war, its our war. Hes promoting primary challengers that could unseat the establishment. How much impact will he have . Hes already had an impact. We saw in alabama a few weeks ago, his candidate defeated the president s candidate in that primary who was the incumbent senator who was a member of the republican establishment. He called out several republicans by name yesterday. Saying they are going to be vulnerable to primary challenges, as well. It could unseat them. It could bring in even more hard core conservatives into the republican party. But i think the big question is, what impact will it have on the president s agenda . Will it, in fact, do anything to advance the president s agenda . We havent seen evidence of that yet. Lets talk about what the president has been doing in terms of rolling back obamacare. Hes made some pretty aggressive moves of late. You have nancy pelosi the democratic leader of the house on the show this morning. Do you think what trumps been doing on obamacare makes her more or less likely to want to cut a deal with him on this issue . Less. Much less. The president did two executive orders. One loosened the regulations on insurance plans, or intends to, things like preexisting conditions and essential benefits. More important, cutting the subsidies to Insurance Companies which help poor people pay for the insurance. Democrats arent going to go along with anything that repeals obamacare. But the president is making progress if you consider that progress on his agenda of repealing and replacing obamacare. Not with congress, but step by step, on his own. He seems to be forcing the issue. You have nancy pelosi on the show. You also have the u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. , nikki haley on, as well. Theres a lot of debate about what happens next with the iran deal. Trump has equivocated on this and basically punted it to congress. How do you think it will all play out . Hes decertified it but has not pulled out. He wants congress to come up with tougher conditions. Right now, congress doesnt appear to be ready to do that. Some in Congress Welcome what the president did. Our allies are saying were going to stick by the agreement right now. A lot will depend Going Forward on how iran responds, what congress does Going Forward. The other big question, how is north korea going to take all this . If the president seems willing to undo the nuclear deal with iran, does it give us any hope for negotiations of any kind with north korea . Incredibly complex world out there. George, thank you very much. Thanks, george. George has a big show this morning. Hes going to be talking to the u. N. Ambassador nikki haley. And also to Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, and republican senator Susan Collins. All coming up on this week next on abc. Thank you, george. George has power women on the show today. Love to see that. Thanks, george. Let us check in with Ron Claiborne for a look at the other news headlines. Let us. Good morning. To you dan and paula. Good morning, everyone.
