With more than a dozen fires burning around California, we go to the frontlines of the Holy Fire burning in Orange & Riverside Counties.

Orange County Supervisor Todd Spitzer says the alleged arsonist responsible for this fire deserves the death penalty.

Thanh Nguyen, the spokesperson for the incident command, describes how firefighting has evolved in an era with a never ending fire season.

Jake Levine, former advisor to President Obama on climate change, suggests federal policy changes.

Our panel this week is Caroline Heldman - co-author, "Sex and Gender in the 2016 Presidential Election", Brian Goldsmith - co-host of the Katie Couric Podcast, and Gianno Caldwell, FOX News political analyst. They discuss whether the Democratic party should go more to the left or the center? Should Nancy Pelosi keep her job? And, what should be done re: Chicago violence.

And she may be only 9 years old, but after losing her father to gun violence, Nathalia Jackson is now turning her personal tragedy into advocacy.
