from acting attorney general matthew whitaker. a vocal critic of the russia investigation. how the president is distancing himself from whitaker. good morning. welcome to "early start." i'm dave briggs. it is monday, november 12th. it is 5:00 a.m. in the east. 2:00 a.m. in the west. we start with california with the wildfire and 200 people still missing and 29 killed in the camp fire in northern california and two killed by the woolsey fire in southern california. found in their car trying to flee the flames. at least six firefighters injured statewide. >> i've never been so scared in my life. >> in northern california, terrifying drive through flames and heavy smoke as the entire town of paradise of 30,000 people was forced to evacuate at a moment's notice. that fire is the most destructive in california

history destroying 6,700 buildings since it started on thursday. high winds and tinder dry weather in the state putting 25 million people, nearly 1 in 13 americans, under a red-flag warning. we have cnn's scott mclean with more in los angeles where 170,000 people have been forced to evacuate their homes. >> reporter: dave and christine, the woolsey fire has lost the strength and intensity it once had. that doesn't mean the danger is over by any stretch. even in this part of malibu where it seems the worst has come and gone. there are still hot spots and smoldering areas. obviously, there is not anything left in this home left to burn. in other cases, it is. if you look on the other side of the canyon, you see the fire got to the bottom of it and raced up to the other side. it managed to stop before it burned through the condos. i know from talking to people on the other side there is concern that as the winds pick up right through to tuesd

burn through some of the fuel that hasn't already burned. in this part of malibu, there's some pretty stunning views and amazing properties here. if you look down here, you can see that there's a tree down. it seemed to have been burned at the bottom and collapsed under its own weight. one of the many hazards in this area with downed power lines and burned power poles. things like that. check out this view right here. someone had a view out to the pacific ocean. absolutely stunning. there's nothing left of this house right now except for a pretty view and charred remains. this area is under a mandatory evacuation order. when people get back in, it will be a long time before malibu looks like malibu. dave. >> scott, thank you. strong winds and dry conditions expected to fuel the wildfires. here is meteorologist pedram javaheri with the latest. good morning, dave and christine.

weather is not helping the last couple weeks or frankly the last couple months. look at the drought monitor. extreme drought across the western united states. los angeles, santa monica and sacramento, the last time they saw rainfall more than .50 was seven to eight months ago. it puts it in perspective. with high pressure in place. it is not changing much. the next best bet for rainfall is thanksgiving. you look at the pattern and the extreme situation for the fire concerns which remain in place across southern california and critical concern across the northern part of the state. humidity in spots down to 3% to 4% in the early morning hours when you expect some recovery. unfortunately, the mountainous winds in the valley could see gusts up to 70 miles an hour this afternoon. that played a significant role where the smoke is going. by saturday, it was wushipushin

inland. on sunday, it was away from land. this will repeat itself with the next best improvement on wednesday. guys. >> pedram, thanks. the president's tweets on the california wildfires sparking backlash from the firefighters on saturday. the president tweeted there is no reason for the massive and deadly and costly fires, except forest management is so poor. billions of dollars given each year with so many lives lost all because of gross mismanagement of the forests. remedy now or no more fed payments. the head of the firefighters union shot back in a statement calling the president's statements ill-informed, demeaning and dangerously wrong. wildfires are spread in forested areas and open fields fueled by parched vegetation, high winds and low humidity and geography.

in my view, this shameful attack on california is an attack on all of our kcourageous men and women on the front lines. nearly 60% of california forests are federally managed. according to the u.s. forest service report. for ways you can help those affected by the wildfires, go to cnn.com/impact. opposite coasts now. recounts are under way in three florida races this morning. including governor and senate. florida governor rick scott, also the republican senate candidate claiming without evidence that his opponent bill nelson is committing election fraud. >> senator nelson is trying to commit fraud to try to win the election. that's all this is. >> the florida secretary of state, whom scott himself appointed, said there is no allegation of criminal activity. the recount is scheduled to go on around the clock until

complete. as cnn's ryan nobles, this process may last until next month. >> reporter: dave and christine, good morning from tallahassee where the recount in florida is under way. a massive effort where 8.5 million votes cast in the big elections are going to be recounted by machines in the 67 counties across the sunshine state. over the weekend, we have several developments in the recount process. the first is a trio of lawsuits filed by rick scott, the current governor and candidate for senate. one lawsuit accuse cans the supervisor of elections of counting ballots after the saturday deadline. scott is asking for the sheriffs in the counties to be responsible for the machines and ballots in the counties to impound them when counting is not taking place and after the recount is over. in addition to the lawsuits, we learned that in palm beach

county, the supervisor of elections there says she believes it is impossible to complete the count on time. that is significant. that is a democratic stronghold and it could potentially be a spot where in the recount democrats could regain ground. if they don't get the count, it goes back to the count they delivered on saturday afternoon. this all has to be done by thursday. that could trigger a hand recount of the over votes and under votes. this is supposed to be certified by november 20th. that is thanksgiving week. there is a possibility lawsuits could come in. that could take longer. dave and christine. >> oh, boy. ryan nobles, thank you. in georgia, the state democratic party for governor stacey abrams is suing for the halting of the provisional ballots in the governor's race. right now, republican candidate brian kemp leads with 50.3% of the vote. if that drops below 50%, it

automatically forces a run-off. the kemp campaign argues there are not enough ballots to force a run-off. cnn has not projected a winner in the race. the democrats lawsuit claims that more than 1,000 absentee ballots were wrongly counted and the judge requested that they be recounted. 5,000 votes were counted this weekend. most absentee or mail-in votes. nearly all of the votes were for her. in the arizona race, kyrsten sinema's lead over martha mcsally is widening. as of sunday afternoon, sinema held a 30,310 vote advantage. sinema's campaign manager believes there are more democratic votes left to be counted than republican. president trump casting doubt on the election's legitimacy despite no evidence of fraud. ahead, president trump receiving some backlash after

mr. trump and macron. the french president offering a sharp warning against the dangers of nationalism. a label president trump has embraced. let's go live to paris and bring in melissa bell. melis melissa, is the bromance over? >> reporter: most definitely, dave. it soured with the announcement by donald trump that trade tariffs would be reimposed on europe. emmanuel macron had a fairly testy phone call at the time, as you remember. there has been more tension between the two men than before that attempt of french president emmanuel macron to reach out to his american counterpart failed on the substantive issues which europe was looking to move on here. dave, it wasn't as if they were able to get past the cracks of the issues that faced the world at the moment, but the forum of the weekend.

this is the commemoration. this is not the parade that trump enjoyed last year. this is a european worldwide occasion to reflect and mourn the dead and remember what their sacrifices were for. for donald trump, the fact the optics played poorly was unfortunate. he found himself, dave, facing a drubbing from the french president when he attacked him on the question of nationalism. it was seen as a rebuke of donald trump's political platform. >> and for good measure, macron said i don't make diplomacy through tweets. melissa bell, thank you. democratic leaders vowing to block the new ag matt whitaker. new york congress member jerry nadler is set to chair the committee when democrats take

charge of the house. he says if whitaker doesn't recuse himself from the mueller probe, he can expect to be at the center of the hearing in january. >> the questions we will ask him will be about his expressed hostility to the investigation and how he can possibly supervise it when he has come out and said the investigation is invalid and contrary to the findings, there was no russian interferen interference. >> senate minority leader chuck schumer says they will attach legislation to the must-pass spending bill to protect mueller. the president seems to be distancing himself from the acting ag. >> i don't know matt whitaker. whitaker worked for jeff sessions. he is always thought of. i didn't know matt whitaker.

>> i didn't know matt whitaker. that flies in the face of what with the president told fox news just last month. >> i never talk about that. i can tell you that matt whitaker is a great guy. i know matt whitaker. >> so which is it? white house counselor kellyanne conway tries to explain the discrepancy. >> what the president means is he is not sliding in somebody that's an old friend or somebody he thinks he has discussed the mueller investigation with at length. >> okay. i think we got it. ahead, we will talk a little sports. tom brady is human. the patriots quarterback had a chance to make a big play sunday against the titans, but that happened. andy scholes with the highlights and low-lights in new england. next. heyi'm craving somethingkin! we're missing. the ceramides in cerave. they help restore my natural barrier, so i can lock in moisture... and keep us protected. we've got to have each other's backs...

the current governor and candidate for senate. one accuses the supervisor of election of counting ballots after the saturday deadline. scott is asking for the sheriffs in the counties to be responsible for the machines and ballots in the counties to impound them when counting is not taking place and after the recount is over. in addition to the lawsuits, we learned that in palm beach county, that the supervisor of elections there says she believes it is impossible to complete the count on time. that is significant. that is a democratic stronghold and it could potentially be a spot where in the recount democrats could regain ground. if they don't get the count, it goes back to the count they delivered on saturday afternoon. this all has to be done by thursday. that could trigger a hand recount of the over votes and under votes. this is supposed to be certified by november 20th. that is thanksgiving week.

there's a problem with that. what is it? >> the governor's administration is saying there was no fraud. so no one is actually supporting the claims, including the people who work for him. at this point, you have to listen to this and hear political rhetoric, not facts on the ground. >> there are ballots that were thrown out that they are trying to get counted. even a former congress member is saying my vote wasn't counted because of a signature issue. he logged online and found the signature issue. they still told him that the vote won't count. is that the fraud? >> that's not fraud. that's a miscount. that's actually what democrats have been talking about to make sure that every vote is counted. that's an example where people's votes were thrown out i am probably. that's -- i am probab-- that's >> you would like to see the broward county board of suppo

supervisor get this right. let's turn to the politics of fire. there should not be politics of wildfire, but the president changed that with the tweet over the weekend with the california wildfires saying there is no reason for the massive and deadly and costly forest fires in california, except forest management is poor. all because of gross mi mismanagement of the forest. remedy now or no fed payments. somebody fired back. he is an influential figure. the head of the firefighters union. he said the president is ill-informed and ill-timed. it is demeaning and shameful attack on california and our men and women on the front lines. 60% of the forests are managed by the federal government. what does this is a about the president's -- what does

this say about the president's leadership style at a time of crisis? >> we have seen this over and over again when it comes to crisis. once again, he doesn't have the facts right. at the same time, he is blaming the victims and blaming the people who are trying to help because the actual cause in the minds of many experts, including climate change issues is inconvenient for him. this is the ongoing story of how he leads the country. people need help and leadership and someone with moral authority to say i'm here in the oval office and i'll deal with it. >> that tweet was sent as people were fleeing and dying in california. i want to turn to the new top cop in our country. the acting attorney general who once represented a fraudulent patent company who says marlboro was the most troubling case.

this is what was said if he does not recuse himself from the office over the mueller investigation. >> we will ask about his hostility how he can supervise the investigation when he has come out and said the investigation is invalid and contrary to the every intelligence agency there was no interference. >> even hugh hewitt said what is the problem with the appointment? >> there are a lot of problems with the fraud to the fact he is overseeing the investigation. if you take a box and check every box wrong on this pick. the democrats would almost be irresponsible not to deal with this issue and to investigate it. so this is not someone who should probably have this seat.

american burial ground because it was raining. press secretary sarah sanders said driving would disrupt traffic and marine i was grounded. other world leaders were able to pay their respects. this caused cracks with the relationship with donald trump and macron. warning against the label of nationali nationalism. macron said patriotism is the opposite of nationalism. by saying our interests first, who cares about the others. we erase what the nation holds dearest. let's go live to paris and bring in melissa bell. melissa, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, dave. that quote, that tweet, wasn't simply in that speech emmanuel macron delivered at the event

yesterday very close to donald trump. it was the first lines of the tweet and was the message he wanted to transmit to the american president. to understand what went on this weekend, never have the divisions with the united states and european allies seemed as great as they do today ever since the start of donald trump's presidency. things seem to have reached a breaking point. you have to understand, i think, remember why donald trump decided to come. it was in the context of the military parade he liked last year. he wished to have one in washington. the discovery it would cost too much money to the armed forces and be unlikely. it was that point where he tweeted out the fact he would attend the ceremonies. these are different ceremonies, dave. first of all, worldwide. marking the end of a world war and alliances and about the importance of peace. in that context, as you say, the optics, donald trump not making out of the battle fields when

european leaders did and justin trudeau did despite the rain. they were truly awful for the american president on policy with no progress at all between the american president and european allies on the issues that divide them. both in terms of the form of the weekend and in terms of the content and division really seems to be greater than ever it has before. perhaps finally with the very strong words from emmanuel macron, those are the ones that we will remember from the weekend as those pictures of the european leaders on the battle fields commemorating the dead on saturday and the american president nowhere to be seen. >> it is no schedules on the white house schedule today. expect the president to watch cable news and angry on twitter. melissa bell, thank you. snl star pete davidson apologizing for mocking a congress member. a former navy s.e.a.l. injured

turkey says it has given audio related to the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi to the u.s. and european and saudi arabia governments. turkey president recep tayyip erdogan did not say what was on the recordings. and secretary of state mike

pompeo said he had a phone call with the crown prince and they will hold everyone accountable. let's go to istanbul where jomana karadsheh is standing by. jomana, good morning. is there anything th-- is there any sign that the saudis will do anything? >> reporter: that is the question, dave. it has been more than 40 days since the killing of jamal khashoggi. still no accountability and still so many questions unanswered. we heard the frustration from turkish officials including from president erdogan. saying they have the real lack of cooperation from the saudis. they are straight forward questions. where are the remains of jamal khashoggi? that is if there are remains. we heard the possibility they are looking into acid being used to dissolve his body. they want to know who ordered the killing. they want to know who ordered

the hit squad to kill him. they want to put pressure on the saudis to get the answers. so far, it doesn't seem that is really moving. so you had turkey drip feeding information over the past few weeks trying to keep this story alive and put more pressure on the united states and on saudi arabia. the latest is president erdogan over the weekend saying they passed on the recordings of the killing. he did not go into details. we know from previous leaks that turkey has the audio recording of the killing and they passed it on to the united kingdom and united states and france and germany and to saudi arabia. pretty much putting the ball in the corner of these countries to put pressure on the saudis. the feeling, dave, the concern is that some in the administration and in saudi arabia are just hoping the world will move on and forget about

it. >> congress back in session tomorrow. maybe the senate will hold them accountable. jomana, thank you. finally, comedian pete davidson apologizing to congress member ben chen shaw after mocking him in a skit on snl. he seemed to take it all in stride and appearing on the show himself. >> i mean this from the bottom of my heart. it was a poor choice of words. the man is a war hero. he deserves all the respect in the world. if any good came of this, maybe one day the left and right finally came together to agree on something. that i'm a [ bleep ]. >> you think? >> i just wanted to say for people that don't know, the reason you are wearing an eye patch right now is you lost your eye to an ied in afghanistan during your third combat tour. i'm sorry. >> thank you, pete. i appreciate you saying that. >> we good? >> we're good. apology accepted. ♪ just keep breathing, breathing, breathing ♪

>> that sounds like my phone. >> are you going to answer that? >> no, i'll let it ring. that's rude to answer. i'll let it go to voice mail. ♪ just keep ♪ >> ariana. >> do you know her? okay. seriously. there's a lot of lessons to learn here. not just that the left and right can still agree on some things, but also this, americans can forgive one another. who will never forget those we lost on 9/11. heroes like pete's father. pete, never forget. >> never forget. >> well played by both. pete davidson's father was a new york city firefighter who died in the 9/11 attacks when davidson was 7 years old. that ring tone was ari arkarian

grande, pete's ex. i'm dave briggs. "new day" starts now. see you tomorrow. this is already the most destructive fire in california state history. >> there was a 100-foot wall of flames. >> i am still trying to wake up from this terrible dream. >> senator nelson is trying to commit fraud to win this election. >> votes are not being found, they are being counted. >> count every vote and let the chips fall where they may. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. this is "new day," monday november 12th, 6:00 here in new york. first, the wildfires in california, one of them becoming
