I dont agree with bob corker its world war iii. Everybody in washington, d. C. , has said for a very long time the very things that bob corker finally said. If bob corker has any honor, any decency, he should resign imtdly. The truth is the president will not get his major things done without bob corker. Valued member of the republican senate. Key player on the budget. President set to host Rex Tillerson as well as james mattis at the white house. Now hes comparing his iq with that of his secretary of state Rex Tillerson. New details about wiensteins final hours before being ousted before his company. Reportedly writing, i am desperate for your help. Do not let me be fired. Let me take a leave of absence and get into therapy and counseling whether it be in a facility or somewhere else. Allow me to resurrect myself with a second chance. Sources close to the company tell nbc news that it is moving to take Harvey Wiensteins name off his television program. One powerful woman appears to be coming to his defense. Its not Harvey Wienstein. You look at everything, all over the world today. You know, and how women are dressing and, you know, what theyre asking. What are they asking for . Trouble. What are they asking for . Trouble. Are you kidding me . Were going to get to that in a minute. Were going to begin with breaking news. Wildfires burning out of control in california. Yet another Natural Disaster unfolding before our very eyes. More than a dozen wildfires are burning in the state of california at this moment causing mass destruction over a 200mile span. Heres the latest. 15 fires are burning out of control in eight counties across the state. The biggest and most devastating are in napa and sonoma counties. At least 11 people have been killed. And Officials Say they expect that number to rise more than a hundred are in the hospital. The fires have scorched more than 70,000 acres forcing at least 20,000 to run from their homes. Some with just minutes to spare. To put the devastation in perspective, heres a look before and after pictures of a neighborhood in santa rosa. It looks like a bomb went off. A bomb went off. Weve had that same description over the last four weeks for the virgin islands, kooupuerto rico. I want to go right to napa where power is out for thousands of people. Steve patterson is live. Whats the latest . Reporter the first thing you notice here besides the Tropical Force Winds swirling smoke that chokes you as you get into this area is that communications are down. This is completely useless. We are cut off from the outside world here. There are a lot of families trying to get to a wifi situation, anywhere they can communicate with the outside world. Take a look at this. This was a home here in napa, the heart of wine country. You can see completely charred and destroyed, a fire place the only thing that remain there is. The structures are completely charred to the bone. Cars here charred out, blackened. This is a sight that weve seen driving through this area as you go into the heart of napa. Again, the heart of wine country towards the fall harvest. You mentioned those 11 dead. Two of them were here. At least we know two at this point. Theres still obviously taking a look at damage. There are so many missing trying to communicate with the outside world. What we know about the two here, it was an elderly couple. 99 and 100 years old respectively. They had just celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary. Their daughter said they simply did not have enough time to make it out alive. She said the only thing that would have been more tragic is if one had died and the other had survived. Tragic situation here in napa. Schools are shut down. Hospitals were evacuated. And then people, again, theyre trying to find some way to communicate with their families to tell them theyre okay. That is the major problem here in napa as crews continue to battle and try to keep this fire outside of encroaching into more homes. All right, steve. Please stay safe. Nbcs own steve patterson. I want to go further south to Orange County which is near l. A. Firefighters there are trying to contain a different wildfire thats destroying homes even impacting disneyland. Gadi schwartz is in anaheim. More than 1,000 homes evacuated in three cities. Are they making any headway . Reporter they are making some headway. Let me show you whats going on right now. This is one of the homes that was destroyed. A very difficult day in this neighborhood. There are three others right here on this street that have been destroyed. I want to show you the headway that has been made. So this is a blacked out area. This is where the fire has swept uphill so fast. Fires move much faster uphill. And it came and took out this house. It took out that house. It took out that house. But im going to show you some houses that are still standing. In fact, over here if you look just a little ways down, youve got one home that was protected. That was by firefighters who were here. Youve got several other homes down on this culdesac that firefighters were able to save. But this is just one of those things that people here have to contend with almost on a daily basis. A lot of people down here were watching the coverage in napa. They didnt know what was going on down here so close to them. And then all of a sudden they smelled smoke and they found themselves with fire right on their doorsteps. In fact, we were just talking to carrie a little while ago. She lives down the street. This is in your street here. You live one street over. You guys were watching these fires all night hoping they werent going to encroach. Tell me, how did this happen . What happened yesterday that made you notice what was happening . Reporter well, i was just sitting at home and i was sitting at my Kitchen Table and my girlfriend sent me a text saying are you okay. I had no idea what she was talking about. And then she sent me a link. When i walked outside, i just walked im on the corner house of cloverdale and garden view and i turned the corner, and this big black cloud of smoke reporter so you had no idea what was going on and you come outside and thats what you see. I panicked. I went inside and collected all my photographs, grabbed my computer, my stuff out of my safe and my dog and my son was able to get in so he helped me pack up some stuff and we just kind of took off. Reporter and this has happened before. Nine years ago we were evacuated. My house was safe. It didnt happen up here. But it was the closest call. So i actually still had my pictures in the boxes from the first time it had happened. So yeah, it was pretty scary. Reporter have you been able to speak to some of the neighbors . I did. Ive spoken to them. Theyre anxious to come in and see what they have left. Ive sent them a few pictures. I know the maguires. Their house is safe but theres quite a bit of damage up there. On my house, i know some of the embers went in and across the street i have a retired fire chief that was working there. My two trees in the front were on fire and some things in my back yard. Reporter that was just neighbors helping neighbors putting out embers. Yeah. So we got in, we kind of went in around 7 00 last night. Reporter and the neighbors here, were they able to get anything out . Were they even home . From what i understand, they werent home. Reporter this happened so quickly they didnt know it hit their home. I had no idea these fires were going on. Reporter thank you so much. Our thoughts are with you. This is a reminder what can happen on a daily basis here in california. Joining me now by phone is mark giagarduci. Mark, give us the latest from the front lines. Well, good morning. Well, today has been a day to try to continue to contain the fires that we happen. The weather is actually cooperating a little bit better. The winds are died down somewhat. That of course gives us an ability to get in front of these fastmoving fires. The other thing is to ensure we do any search and rescue operations and be able to identify any of those that are missing. And begin doing the damage assessment. Lets talk about those who are missing. I know there are 11 people who are confirmed dead and a hundred reported missing. Do you have any update on those . You know, the numbers may change a little bit. Dont really have an update. We do know that the we have the 11 confirmed fatalities. I will suspect there will be a few more. And a lot of that may be that there is a lot of people that have had to go to different shelters. There is a capability in the area. Those will all be factors once you get the communications back up. We should be able to bring back that proposed missing member down. I know this type of here is ripe with wildfires but you said more than 230 broke out in the last week. Is that an unusually high number . Well, i mean happened in october. We have what we call fire weather that takes place this time of the year. Its warm winds that saturate the environment and make it very dangerous. We put out these red flag warnings app and in the Northern California area. Southern california they have the santa ana wind conditions that bring hot winds from the desert and blow out to the ocean. These are part of living in california. Roughly 1500 more fires. You know, certainly the number of fires have increased. And its keeping us really busy. You certainly are busy. Mark, please, please stay safe. Thank you for joining us this morning. In the state of california. Thank you, mark. All right. Stick around, everyone. Any minute now secretary of state rex stiller son set to arrive at the white house for a luncheon with the president. This of course as he responds to the reports that tillerson called him a moron. Now the president is saying, quote, i guess well have to compare iq tests. Bring it on. We would love to see that. Plus were going to tell you President Trumps new nickname for gop senator bob corker. And now the real housewives of trump, First Lady Melania Trump is striking back against Donald Trumps first wife iva that after she said this. First of all, i have direct number to white house. But i dont want to call him there because melania is there and i dont want to cause any kind of jealousy or Something Like that. Because im basically first trump wife, okay . Im first lady, okay . Im first lady, okay . Andy cohen said it sounds like these two need to have a showdown. Melanias office said this, mrs. Trump has made the white house a home for barron and the president app and is honored by her role as first lady of the United States. She plans to use her title and role to help children not sell books. Unfortunately only attention seeking and selfserving noise. I have a message for both of those ladies. You need to channel your own disney princess. Let it go so why wouldnt you take something for the most important part of you. Your brain. With an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is now the number one selling brain Health Supplement in drug stores nationwide. Prevagen. The name to remember. Its called broccoli of cheddar soup. Ve . I loved it, but it was like, honey, i am way too decadent for you so i came up with o, thats good a new line of comfort soups with a nutritious twist. We replaced a hunk of this. With velvety butternut squash. If i hadnt told you, you wouldnt know. Comfort food that loves you back. O. Mmm. Thats good welcome back to velshi rhule. President trump hitting his own secretary of state this morning over the nbc news exclusive report that secretary Rex Tillerson called the president a moron. The president tells forbes the report was, quote, fake news and said, quote, i guess well have to compare iq tests. And i can tell you who is going to win. Wow. This comes amid a twitter war with bob corker. Called the white house a quote, adult day care center. Last night steve bannon helped his old boss fight facts. If bob corker has any honor, any decency, he should resign immediately. Steve bannon, remember, this is a guy in 2010 who said what we need to do is bitch slap the republican party. He also said our backup strategy is to f up Hillary Clinton so bad she cant govern. And theres steve bannon talking about common decency. Thats rich. Rich like his wall street backers that he denies he has. But this morning trump ally and former speaker gingrich warned the president against alienating corker. Thats been probably the biggest weak neness has been no working together. The president will not get his major things done without bob corker. Joining me now Peter Alexander at the white house. Garrett haake live in South Carolina. And randall lane who interviewed the president for that extraordinary forbes piece. Got to start with you, randall. We are all talking about trump wanting to pair iq tests with tillerson. First of all, hes joking, is he not . With donald trump you never know. We were with him friday. Spent an hour in the oval office. I would say it was a little surreal that the president in the oval office, what he thought about the secretary of state reportedly calling him a moron. He paused, thought about it, and donald trump does not like getting insulted publicly or privately. I think he was sending a message. He also said im the guy who came up with fake news. Which he didnt. So its ironic to lie about coming up with fake news. My biggest takeaway in your piece is that i cant find anywhere where the president seems to be putting country before self. Talk to me about your takeaway. Its interesting because what you have with donald trump if you look at the consistency here, if you look at how he runs his businesses or random businesses, thats the bottom line. If you want some consistency with trump, hes a transactional guy. Hold on. His businesses went bankrupt four times. Hes blown up essentially every Business Partner hes ever had. Hes also had a lot of great assets. Hes cut a lot of great deals. Hes had a hard time running ongoing businesses. Thats what youre seeing in this white house. You have somebody who has a mindset that hes going deal to deal, win to win opposed to some have a career building an organization. And so thats you know, if you look at the threads. If you look at how he looks at trade. If you look at even we talked about obamacare. Again, he wants a deal. Its not about how i make Health Care Policy better, its do i cut a deal with democrats or republicans . Did he share details on what those details. Or tax reform. The president has never shared a game plan or one that involves facts. Tax reform, for example, saying he knows so much about it. He doesnt even talk about the truth. He talked about the fact hes going to suffer. Well, in fact, he wont. How exactly is he going to get the deal . Again, this is somebody motivated by wins. And not so much by ideology. Youve seen that consistently throughout his life and throughout his presidency. He told us when he sat down he could do a deal on obamacare with the democrats or he could do it with republicans. Shes shopping and he said basically is going to look for the best deal. When youre a deal maker and you have two bidders, thats how you get the best price. What donald trump ultimately wants is to, you know, be perceived. Hes never been interested in that. Lets go to speaker groundhogs point. The president wants a win. How does alienating bob corker do that . It doesnt, stephanie. Thats why were seeing people like Newt Gingrich and other people trying to communicate to the president that this is not helpful. Im in South Carolina because we were talking to Lindsey Graham here today and i asked him about this. He tried to tell me he basically put this argument to the president yesterday on the golf course in a way he thought he could understand putting context around why its so important to knock this off. Well be judged by whether we get it done or not. I told the president if we could cut taxes and repeal and replace obamacare and make the world a safer place, it doesnt matter who they run against you. Reporter and so thats the context for this. Come 2020 nobodys going to be looking at their score card of which republican won which twitter fight. They need to put points on the board legislatively. And maybe thats why Lindsey Graham thinks no big deal. Send this big ole kiss to the president. He shot a 73 on the wet golf course, isnt he special . Is grahams goal let me make nice with the president to get something done . Sort of like rand paul . Or does he maybe want the secretary of state position . Reporter i think thats unlikely that hes angle for any other position than the senate. But he said his goal is to make nice with President Trump to find a way to get something done. He said this is not a guy i agree with all the time. Hes the president and i need to work with him to get things done. Whether thats working together on issues of Foreign Affairs and military which is a big part of Lindsey Grahams portfolio. Or things like daca and the dream act where hes one of the more liberal senators on the republican side in terms of coming up with a deal for these folks. And getting the president for him is maybe a way to turn the president that direction. All right. Peter, to Randalls Point earlier the president loves to tout himself a deal guy. And President Trump supporters say hes ready to make a deal. He said in another tweet this morning he would use, quote, the power of the pen to give americans Great Health Care with so many failed tries. Why does he keep going back to this . Hes got to pen. Hes used the pen for all those executive orders that do nothing but have his own team write big reports. What is the power of the pen hes speaking about . Reporter well, it seems to be hes touting the potential for an executive order of some kind. No timeline for that. No specificity on what it would be. The understanding is this would be something rand paul has been championing that would allow americans to purchase their Health Insurance across st
