nio. good morning, america. happening right now, wildfires and wild weather. tinderbox conditions sparking fires in the west. destroying homes as a severe weather threat puts nearly 35 million americans in the path of dangerous storms right now. bracing for an eruption. president trump issuing a disaster declaration in hawaii with word that the kilauea volcano could be ready for an explosive eruption. are residents heeding those warnings? fighting back, senator john mccain's family speaking out after that cruel comment from a trump senior staffer. >> i don't understand what kind of environment you're working in when that would be acceptable. >> will there be a public apology from the white house? caught on camera, arrest outrage. a police officer seen holding this man by the neck just outside a waffle house.

>> get off me. >> and what that young man is saying this morning. and space age innovations. the entrepreneur elon musk and his team celebrating the launch and landing of his latest spacex rocket and perfect touchdown. plus, the first look at his tunnel in los angeles to tackle the city's notorious traffic problems. hey, good morning. we're going to start here with the trio of stories brought to you by mother nature. take a look at these pictures out of arizona. crews fighting a stubborn and growing wildfire in the dry brush there. >> and across the southwest a series of wildfires are breaking out. homes have already been destroyed. mandatory evacuations are in place, and it's all fueled by threats of a drought across the region. >> meanwhile, there's severe weather on the way for illinois all the way to new jersey, nearly 35 million americans potentially in the path of destructive winds. >> and then there is the

unfolding disaster with that erupting volcano in hawaii. fears it could blow any moment. the white house even issuing a disaster declaration. we want to welcome back, rob "robert" marciano after several months of filling in for ginger zee while she was on maternity leave. my friend, you are rejoining us on a very busy morning. >> it is a busy morning. it is great to be here, but we've got severe weather threats with this line of storms. west in arizona where the wildfire grew overnight. we had two homes burn down there. you see some of the dramatic video. this is between flagstaff and phoenix. about 5,000 acres burned, 10% containment and fires burning across the texas panhandle. 12 big ones in 2 large counties. even some spawning a severe thunderstorm. there you see some of the dramatic pictures there. very dry across this area from arizona all the way to texas. 50% or less of the rainfall they typically get this time of year. these storms along a stationary boundary are going to get several rounds of rain today and

some will pack some winds in excess of 50 or 60 miles an hour. we see some rain this morning but the real action will be along the stationary front this afternoon and we'll highlight it. might get into philly. so some highly populated areas throughout the day today from chicago all the way to the east coast. more on this later in the program. guys, back to you. >> rob, i know dan already said it, but it is great to have you back and great to have the gang back together here. >> great to be here. >> thanks again. as we mentioned at the top of the show, the president issuing a disaster declaration for hawaii where geologists are warning that the kilauea volcano could have an explosive steam eruption at any moment. and there are also fears that boulders the size of refrigerators may go flying in the process. abc's marci gonzalez is right there on the big island. marci, good morning to you. >> reporter: guys, good morning. yeah, people here are definitely watching and waiting but experts stress those giant boulders would not reach into residential areas. here they're just expecting a dusting of ash. of course, this is not the only issue they're dealing with here as we learn federal funding to help is on the way.

president trump now approving a disaster declaration for hawaii as part of the big island rocked by earthquakes and those volcanic eruptions now watches for a massive explosion here at kilauea summit. it could send boulders the size of cars rocketing out of this crater, ash billowing 20,000 feet in the air. that crater is within volcanos national park now closed this morning because of the risk. vulcanologist rick hazlett says outside the park there is no danger but ash could rain down for miles. >> this is not life-threatening, a light ash fall but it is something that people need to be mindful of. >> reporter: 20 miles away those 15 fissures that oozed through neighborhoods devouring more than two dozen homes pausing quiet now for more than two days. but evacuation orders are still in place for nearly 1,800 residents as geologists say it is likely lava could start flowing again and new fissures could still erupt.

they also worry smaller cracks like this could expand and open in more roads stranding people who decided to stay behind. alan bertran among the residents this morning still refusing to evacuate. what will it take to get you to leave? >> the lava to come down the street, i guess. this is all i got. >> reporter: but most people did leave, and they still have no idea when they'll be able to go back, dan and paula. >> such a tough situation for the people there. marci, thank you very much for your coverage this morning. politics now and a story that says so much about the state of american political discourse at this moment. we're looking at new fallout this morning over the white house staffer who made a disparaging, dismissive comment about senator john mccain and his ongoing battle with brain cancer. >> and mccain's daughter meghan weighing in on the issue right here on abc. as for the white house, they're refusing to apologize or even confirm whether these comments were even made. abc's white house correspondent tara palmeri is at the white house with the story this morning and, tara, there is outrage on both sides of the aisle. >> reporter: that's right,

paula. many democrats and republicans are calling for a public apology from the white house and the staffer, but a senior white house official tells me that they're fine with her private apology to meghan mccain and that's as far as they'll go in acknowledging it for now. this morning, still no apology or action for those cruel words uttered by senior staffer kelly sadler about senator john mccain. the special assistant to the president saying that john mccain's opposition to their cia director nominee gina haspel, quote, doesn't matter, he's dying anyway. those comments outraging both sides of the aisle. white house press secretary sarah sanders avoided acknowledging the comments focusing instead on the leak. >> i'm not going to validate a leak one way or the other out of an internal staff meeting. >> reporter: senator mccain is battling brain cancer, and on "the view" his daughter meghan puzzled by the lack of empathy. >> i don't understand what kind of environment you're working in when that would be acceptable and then you can come to work the next day and still have a job and that's all i have to say about it.

>> reporter: president trump has long been critical of john mccain. on the campaign trail he suggested he doesn't deserve a badge of honor after spending 5 1/2 years s a prisoner of war in vietnam. >> he is a war hero because he was captured. i like people that weren't captured. >> reporter: but the mccain family defiant. >> my father's legacy is going to be talked about for hundreds and hundreds of years. these people, nothing burgers. >> reporter: this morning abc news learned that sadler called meghan to apologize. still republicans and democrats all demanding a more public apology from the white house. vice president joe biden issuing this scathing statement, people have wondered when decency would hit rock bottom with this administration. it happened yesterday. and speaker paul ryan defending mccain's record. >> look, john mccain is a hero, no two ways about it. >> reporter: this comes after yet another attack on senator mccain, this time by a retired lieutenant general. >> the fact is is john mccain, it worked on john. that's why they call him song bird john. >> reporter: but that claim false. the fox business host later apologizing for not correcting

it. >> if i heard what he said the right way, i would have pushed back. i didn't. i blew it. >> reporter: sources inside the white house tell me that at a meeting on friday, sarah sanders scolded her staff over the comment. she called it unacceptable but was said to be more upset about the leak. now that staffer, kelly sadler did not apologize to her colleagues at the meeting and i'm told that inside the west wing there is a new sense of paranoia because there's a feeling that the leak was personally motivated. dan, paula. >> all right. tara palmeri from the white house. thanks for your reporting. the other political story that we are following this morning, there are new developments in the ever expanding case of the president's personal attorney, michael cohen. >> two companies including at&t are now calling their decision to hire cohen as a consultant, quote, a mistake, this as the president fires back and abc's kenneth moton has more. >> reporter: president trump's attorney rudy giuliani says he's quite certain the president didn't know his personal attorney was allegedly selling his connection to trump in exchange for millions of dollars

from companies. the ap reports giuliani says the president was surprised to learn that his longtime fixer michael cohen brokered deals with businesses looking to gain knowledge about the president. one of those companies, at&t, paying cohen's llc $600,000. ceo randall stephenson wrote to employees, hiring michael cohen as a political consultant was a big mistake but added it was legal and legitimate saying cohen approached the company offering his opinions on the new president. at&t points out it hired consultants for advice about its proposed merger with time warner which the president has spoken out against on the campaign trail. >> it's too much concentration of power in the hands of too few. >> reporter: overnight the president responding to the story, why doesn't the fake news media state that the trump administration's antitrust division has been and is opposed to the at&t purchase of time warner in a currently ongoing trial.

also under scrutiny $1.2 million from swiss pharmaceutical giant novartis, which also called its deal with cohen a mistake and $500,000 paid to cohen from columbus nova. some of cohen's financial dealings were revealed by the attorney for adult film star stormy daniels. michael avenatti tweeting, more evidence and facts to come relating to mr. cohen's dealings and mr. trump's knowledge and involvement. you can come clean now or wait to be outed. >> well, there's no question we have e-mails, text messages. we have financial data, information. i mean, there's a lot of information out there. >> reporter: abc news has also learned columbus nova's ceo who has ties to a russian oligarch and vladimir putin ally gave $250,000 to trump's inauguration. sources say special counsel robert mueller's team has questioned several witnesses about millions of dollars in donations to the president's inauguration committee made by donors with connections to russia and the middle east. it's unclear why mueller's team is interested in those donors. as for cohen, "the wall street journal" is reporting last year he offered his consulting

services to another major company, ford, but he was quickly turned down. the general reports mueller's team has since requested information from the automaker about its contact with michael cohen. >> kenneth, thank you very much. so much to discuss here and let's bring in abc political news analyst matthew dowd. matthew, good morning. so, given that, a, the president's new attorney, rudy giuliani, says the president didn't know that michael cohen was apparently using his connections to the president to enrich himself and given that, b, there appears at this point to be nothing illegal about what cohen did anyway, given both of those things how much damage, if any, does this story do to the president? >> well, dan, i think as of right now i agree. both of those things are true and i think it's pretty much as we've all come to learn much of the standard operating procedure in washington, d.c. about selling access. the problem is this is a president who said he was going to clean up the swamp and this kind of thing most people that voted for him thought he was going to fix, and what he's done

is he's turned the swamp into a superfund site, and so even if he was not in direct knowledge of it, there's enough people surrounding him, whether it was paul manafort, mike flynn or in this instance that basically looks like to many people he's done nothing to clean up what he called throughout the campaign the swamp in washington, d.c. >> and, matt, good morning to you. i want to go back to that comment from the white house staffer, kelly sadler, about senator john mccain. how do you read the way that the white house spokesperson sarah sanders is handling all of it? is it a part of the president's apparent strategy of never apologizing or evening confirming for that matter? >> well, as we have all discussed before, there's this super virus of cruelty and lack of respect and not treating people with dignity that we've seen across america and patient zero of that is the president and the problem with them acknowledging that it happened and then apologizing, then they're ultimately going to have to deal with a president who has said similar things as the piece laid out before we came in to a

lot of different people in a lot of different instances of this, so if they start apologizing for what a staffer said that was cruel and had a total lack of respect for john mccain, then the ultimate question becomes is what is the president going to do with the things he said? >> yeah, still not a good look for this administration regarding those particular comments. matt, thanks for joining us from texas this morning. we do want to move now to north carolina where the bureau of investigations is looking into an incident caught on camera outside a waffle house. >> this video went viral this week. it shows an officer with his hands around the neck of an unarmed black man who had been involved in an argument with restaurant employees and abc's erielle reshef is here with more. erielle, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, dan and paula. anthony wall had just taken his younger sister to prom when they stopped at that north carolina waffle house. a confrontation then breaking out. the case now under investigation to determine whether there was excessive force as waffle house apologizes. >> behind your back. >> get your hands off me. >> behind your back. >> reporter: this morning public outrage over this cell phone

video, 22-year-old anthony wall being held by the neck by a north carolina police officer. >> get your hands off me. >> behind your back. >> get your hands off me. get your hands off me. get your supervisor out here. get your hands off me. >> reporter: wall still wearing his tux after taking his younger sister to prom seen earlier arguing with waffle house staff. the situation escalating off camera. wall ending up on the ground fighting off the officer as he tried to cuff him. >> i was pretty much trying to scream for air and to breathe because he was holding my throat so i pretty much -- that's when i got aggressive with him because you are choking me. >> reporter: while he admits his behavior may have fueled confrontation -- >> i think i went overboard with me going back and forth with them. it could have been avoided. but at that time i was angry because of how we was treated. >> reporter: waffle house saying its ceo called wall personally to check on him and apologize.

in this facebook video posted friday, warsaw mayor a.j. connors defending the actions of that officer. >> this is not a racially motivated issue. this was just a young man who had broken the law and a law enforcement officer arrested him. >> reporter: and wall was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. waffle house is conducting an internal review, but, remember, this incident comes just a few weeks after that episode at a waffle house in alabama where a woman was dragged to the floor from her chair. the daughter of dr. martin luther king jr. now calling for a boycott of waffle house. >> all right. erielle reshef, thanks. >> thanks. >> let's send things over to ron claiborne for a look at the other headlines. good morning to you. your bespectacled look, i love it. >> good morning to you, dan, paula, adrienne. robert. >> i gave you some room. >> welcome back. we'll begin in oklahoma where foifr sta where four state troopers are recovering from gunfire and shrapnel wounds after a deadly shootout while serving a warrant

on a known felon with a history of threatening officers and police say as soon as the troopers entered the home in the town of talihina, the building went up in flames. investigators are looking at whether it may have been booby-trapped with some explosive device. the suspect killed in the shootout with those police officers. in palmdale, california, just north of los angeles, panic as a 14-year-old former high school student armed with a rifle opened fire inside of a high school wounding one student. the shooting causing highland high school to be on lockdown. the suspect later arrested in a nearby shopping center. the wounded 15-year-old is expected to make a full recovery. and in colorado, the crash of a small plane left this large piece of debris wedged into the wall of a house. the plane's pilot killed in what's being called a high-speed impact crash. he's believed to have been the only one on board that aircraft. the national weather service reporting low visibility at the time due to fog and mist. the plane in the air only for about ten minutes before the crash. and starbucks is doing away with its policy of only letting paying customers use their bathrooms. the new policy comes a month after two african-american men were arrested in a philadelphia starbucks while they sat waiting for a friend without buying anything and asking to use the

restroom there. that incident prompting starbucks to review its practices. in miami rescuers rushing to pull a 26-year-old driver from his car after his vehicle flipped over, ended up there in that hole in a construction site on an expressway. the driver was unharmed. he said he fell asleep at the wheel. a crane eventually removing that damaged car from that hole, and finally there's a new deputy in town in troy, michigan. meet officer doughnut. >> that is a fierce looking officer. >> yeah, really. >> sworn in as the first member of the troy feline unit to -- >> there's his paw. >> -- making it official with the officer holding up his right paw. officers say officer doughnut be an ambassador to the community. his duties include cuddling anyone who needs it. >> i love that. >> that is so sweet. >> looks more like officer munchkin than officer doughnut. >> officer munchkin. >> the paw patrol. the paw patrol. >> you've really softened your

presentation, haven't you? >> you've been gone too long. you've been gone way too long, robert. >> welcome back, bro. >> good to see you. >> could you just be honest for a moment? how much did you miss us? >> i missed you guys terribly. yeah. >> as you slept late on weekends. >> he enjoyed weekends. >> sam was great for the three months. i thank him. >> he was great. >> and thanks for saving my spot. i wasn't sure if you were going to let me back. >> come on. >> ron wasn't sure whether we should invite you back so, you know -- >> moving along. >> you're using up all your time. >> we love you. >> some flooding in washington. check it out. oroville in north parts of the state. rapid snow melt and evacuations under way. you see how quickly the water is rising into some homes and we have the thunderstorms that we're worried about across the northeastern third of the country along the stationary boundary and we'll get to the timing of this and later on this afternoon, we'll get the lower half getting into like philadelphia, harrisburg, maybe pittsburgh. some could have 50, 60-mile-an-hour winds, maybe baltimore as well.

gridlocked cities on the planet. musk shared this video of his underground tunnel in los angeles, evidence that a stretch of his ambitious high-speed railway project is nearly complete. just two years ago musk vented his frustration tweeting, traffic is driving me nuts. am going to build a tunnel boring machine and just start digging. the three miles of track able to move cars and people at speeds of up to 800 miles per hour. it's amazing and in that post he shows that stretch of the new tunnel and also offers free rides to the public in as soon as a few months pending approval from inspectors. >> 800 miles an hour. >> yeah, i mean, this could change transportation forever. but back to that rocket, i mean, the idea of using a rocket over again after it's been launched and landing it perfectly on a launchpad or a landing pad is just -- it's never been dove before. >> the next thing musk is going to build an iron man suit for himself. >> i think we've seen that
