Sonoma wine country resort. Its completely leveled. Many areas of Santa Rosa California are the same. 11 dead and the Sheriffs Office believes that could go up because many people are missing. Thousands of people left their homes with only minutes to spare because the fire was moving so fast. Two hospitals were evacuated. 1500 structures in sonoma alone destroyed. One neighborhood, coffee park. The before pictures, a quaint and lovely little neighborhood, the after, just a firestorm completely leveling that neighborhood. 120,000 acres burning across california right now. In anaheim, hundreds of miles from where we are, another fire kicked up there. Several houses destroyed. Several thousand more in danger of being destroyed there. The only good news, if there is any good news in any of this is that the weather is starting to cooperate. The winds are dying down and the temperature is going down and humidity is going up. That may allow firefighters to get on top of this and get the upper hand and start fighting the fire head on. Right now the fire is so widespread and so much damage out there, they are going to go back to places they have been fighting before just to keep them from flaring back up. Thank you for your reporting. Keep us updated. To politics, where a bitter back and forth between President Trump and a Top Republican senator doesnt look like it will be over anytime soon. The president is not finished with bob corker. A different showdown could be on tap as tillerson meeting with President Trump. Lets go to the white house. The president , this morning, taking to twitter to make his feelings known about bob corker again. Its the latest volley in the back and forthwith senator bob corker of tennessee, and it goes all the way back to the violence in charlottesville, virginia, after the president responded to the violence there involving a white nationalists and neonazis, all the way through last weekend where there was a back and forth between the president and senator corker, and now this today, this tweet this morning reads, failing New York Times set little bob corker up by recording his conversation to be made to look with a fool, and thats what i am dealing with. And the little bob corker reminiscent of what he said about marco rubio. We have been told the president is not through with corker. In some ways thats an attempt by the administration and the president s allies to show strength and an imphreusid threat not to mess with the president. And every indication this morning that the back and forth with the president and bob corker is going to continue. Meanwhile, the president is expected to sit down and have lunch with his secretary of state, rex tillerson. As far as we know it will be the first time these two men have met since reports surfaced that tillerson referred to the president as a moron. The president actually responded in some degree to that situation in an interview with forbes online, and that was just published today. In the interview and the article written connected with it, the president both suggested the claim that tillerson called him a moron was not true but attacked tillerson just in case it was true, and the quote is i think its fake news but if he did that, i guess we will have to compare iq tests, and i can tell you who is going to win. Also in that article, the president was asked about his comment that tillerson was wasting his time on north korea, and he said in his view he was not undermining tillerson. Back to you. A lot going on at the white house. Its just past 9 00 a. M. Joining me now three people with extraordinary high iqs, new to cnn, lauren fox, a congressional reporter. Lets start with you. A new tweet just moments ago from the president , and i dont know if its l aoeufiddle bob c and talk about the strategy here. He needs corker because he needs him for a lot of reasons to approve appointments for key diplomatic posts and on tax reform. What is he thinking . What is happening is the president is frustrated with bob corker because he read comments from corker criticizing the president. Theres no strategy in trying to make sure that his confirmation is sails smoothly through the senate. One of the things we have to be watching for here is that bob corker is not going to stop either. Hes not going to seek reelection, and hes not afraid. Steve bannon seems very much involved in the white house, and he is weighing and in and saying, look, no way corker should have gone there and he should resign. Mcconnell and corker and the entire click establishment globalist click on capitol hill have to go. If bob corker has any honor or decency, he should resign immediately. I dont think that will happen . He said he will use this time left in washington to say what he wants to say. Its not a personal attack from bob corker. Hes saying the staff is saving us from chaos. He is legitimately worried trump is unstable and dangerous and might get us into war with north korea or Something Like that, and corker is talking about a more substantive issue. I get that, but this is the same bob corker, the president was saying wild things campaigning, and bob corker stood next to him and campaigned with him and now its a totally different tune. Yeah, bob corker is speaking truth to power now but its easier where he now announced hes not running for reelection. I agree with perry, hes not saying this as an insult. And because trump is so focused on his poll numbers and approval and perception in the press, hes taking it as a personal attack. Listen to this. We have these conversations all the time. And we srpl to do better, and i think more of my colleagues should speak up. They say more things privately they dont say publicly. When you look at the polling and this is what a white house official pointed out to cnn and some of the sources we have, the president s numbers in polling are higher than congressional numbers in polling, so the white house feels secure in this and it puts republicans in congress in a more uneasy situation, being vocal about the feelings if they share them, right . Yeah, and if congress cannot get anything done, then 2020 might be a referendum on congress. 2018. Why dont we just go ahead and have primaries against them . I think we will continue to see this moving forward. I dont think this is going to stop. Not if steve bannon has anything to do with it. What about the lunch today, perfe perry, to be a fly on the wall with the president and secretary mattis. He said to congress its a better idea for u. S. Security to stay in this, and the president wants out and the secretary of state tillerson, after the moron comment. My understanding is trump already knew tillerson did not like him and called him names before and it just came out publicly last week. Tillerson, mattis, mcmaster, and general kelly dont see Foreign Policy the same way the president does. The core question is how long can the president have a National Security team that disagrees with him on National Issues . The staff is trying to push him back, and the senators are saying the staff is saving us from chaos. President trump reads the news. David, you know, this matters for the American People and for the world because secretary tillerson is the top american diplomat that needs to be taken seriously by every other dip raw matt world leader on the issues of iran and north korea. When the president is saying in tweets not long ago, save your energy, you know, rex tillerson, we could deal with north korea, and also then questioning his own iq in this new interview with forbes. What does that do for tillerson . It makes it difficult to do his job. World leaders and diplomats will tell you is one thing the secretary of state is to have among World Leaders he speaks for the president. He doesnt have that view. Yeah, World Leaders are able to take what he says with a grain of salt and continue to wonder i wonder what President Trump really thinks or what the United States policy really is, not what secretary tillerson just told me. We know the president is open to making deals with democrats, and he spoke to Chuck Schumer, and thats something some would not like, and i am confused at the strategy. Then the president tweets this morning, the problem with agreeing to a policy on immigration, the democrats dont care about the safety of the usa. Those are the president s words. And then in the forbes interview, he said i am very able to make deals with democrats if he has to. Is he if he says they dont care about the security of the country . He allegedly made a deal back then and the white house said he didnt make a deal and did not agree on daca, and now moving forward he talked to other republicans and saying we cant agree to what Chuck Schumer would want here, and now the president is stuck in the middle. What is clear to me this is a president is not clear about what policy he wants. Members of capitol hill are asking send us a list of your demands, and now the question is going to be whether or not democrats are going to be able to move some of the demands more to the middle, more to what they were trying to negotiate before. In all fairness, i had a Democratic Congress on yesterday and none of them gave me a clear answer on where democrats will give on this immigration and the daca deal they want. Its incumbent on democrats, too, to say this is where we will move. I do think in this case the president said there was some kind of deal or the democrats said early on, and this list on sunday on daca and the immigration requests is what should happen on the negotiation, and i assume the democrats will privately say heres what we can take and not take. And i think ultimately they may agree that if the deal is here. Is this the dealmaker with the president hes using a deal making tactic. Hes making it easy for democrats to essentially reject his offer or remain noncommittal. Democrats would have to come and answer the question, but when he throws out the laundry list, they can say its a nonstarter. It would be nice if they did agree. A stunning timeline change.

We are hearing stunning new details about the horrific las vegas massacre. Police now revealing a major shift in the shooting timeline. Investigators say the gunman shot and injured a Security Guard a full six minutes before he turned his weapon on thousands of concertgoers at the Music Festival 32 floors below. Police previously said the Security Guard approached his room as the shooting was underway. Do we know why the shift, and really the significance of it as they pursue this investigation . Hey, poppy. Clark county sheriff says its a minute change to the timeline. Its about 15 minutes roughly, and that 15 minutes makes a difference. The original theory is the Security Guard arrived on the 32nd floor and was shot by the suspect after he already fired down at the crowd for about ten minutes, and that his presence there seemed to distract him from firing down. Well, that is no longer the case. Its still true that cam pos was responding to a open door, and he was shot six minutes before the shooting down at the concert venue started. So why did the suspect stop firing . That is now still an open question, poppy. Police also are now more and more confident, scott, there was an escape plan. They thought perhaps there was and there was a lot of ammunition, guns in his car, but why are they so sure now there was an escape plan . We will likely never know for sure, poppy, but the sheriff said yesterday that this idea of an escape plan is still very much possible for a couple reasons. First, we know the suspect tried to fire at large fuel tanks at the mccarron airport here in las vegas that is adjacent to the concert venue, and he had protective wear in his room, and his car was filled with explosives and ammunition, so the idea is the suspect may believe he could create so much chaos down at the ground that maybe police would not pay much attention to the hotel itself and he could go downstairs and leave. Thats a theory we will never know for sure. Thank you for the story on the srbg uvictims and survivors. Thank you. Ahead, back to politics. The president needs republicans to pass his agenda, so why does he keep attacking them . We will talk about the strategy next. With active naturals® oat.

We are moments away from the opening bell on wall street and wall street is excited about President Trumps plans to cut tax rates. Christine romans is here before the bell. How trumps tax plan could back fire on wall street. Lets look at the bull market. You can see what is happening in stocks. A big rally as the economy recovered and jobs has started to come back, and the white Housing Market started to comeback. Look at the last part of the rally. Much of that is on a pro business sentiment. The promise of Corporate Tax cuts and Corporate Tax reform and thats what the trump bump has been. But the question is if you have tax cuts and not tax reform and it adds to the deficit and not paid for for the tunes of trillions over ten and 20 years, what does that do for Interest Rates . It jacks up the Interest Rates . And suddenly you have a reckoning on wall street. That story is starting to get attention. We are talking about unfunded tax cuts instead of still tax reform. The tax debate is still ongoing, and you have had such a big rally and such high hopes for Corporate Tax cuts to really juice corporate praufets even more that theres a lot riding on this. A look at the stock market today and it looks like things could pop. 63 record highs for the dow since the president was elected, and this morning things are looking higher because we are headed into corporate earning season, and you will see prof profits. Christine romans, thank you so much. We will watch the opening bell in a minute and a half. Meantime the president s tax plans, one of the agenda points he wants desperately to get passed. As long as the number of republican attacks grows, we will look at that. He does need bob corker for things like tax reform and getting that through, for getting comprehensive tax reform through, and he needs key diplomatic posts appointed, and et cetera. He just finished attacking him again, and the president said hes not done with corker, and clearly he is not because he called him a fool on twitter this morning. What is the strategy . Does it make sense to you . Not really, and thats the president s style. He took on ten republicans already, including the speaker, mcconnell, and john mccain, and collins and mccould yjeff flake. I tend to think that it probably doesnt translate yet into losing things important to the republican agenda such as the tax bill, which is critical in a republican agenda. It certainly makes it more difficult for him to get things through the senate that are marginal, in which theres a reason you saw mccain, collins, go against him on health care and flake went with him. They also fundamentally dont agree with the Health Care Proposal that was put forward. I just wonder why you think it wont harm him on some of the big issues like tax reform . Well, health care was different. Health care, there was a real schism in our party over it and that included expanded entitlements, and with tax reform, theres a belief by almost every republican tax reform is needed, and you need to create jobs here rather than ship jobs overseas and we need a new tax law, and theres an interest there, and we are in survival politics where basically if the congress doesnt pass something soon that is substantive, and tax reform is the best vehicle and the only show in town now, they will all be in trouble. All republicans will inbound trouble in the next election. I think the survival politics overwhelms the tit for tat that is going on for president and some senators. Seurvival politics, thats catchy, and i follow your drift there. Arent they already in danger with what steve bannon is doing now . There has not been a majority that believe in a circular fire squad, and rather than pushing out our issues we want to internalize our differences, and unfortunately mr. Bannon seems to be taking that course and its not constructive. You have talented people in our party in the senate, and senators are independent by nature, thats how the senate is structured. Basically taking them on because you dislike them over one or two
