those amounts and we are seeking punitive damages against each of these defendants. >> so patrick bernidn't respond to requests for comments from us. they told cnn in the coverage of the 2020 election, newsmax reported on allegations made by well known figures including the president, his advisers and members of congress. dominion's action is an attempt to squelch such reporting and -- the free press. how do you prove that it's defamation? >> so, first of all, what newsmax has said is just not true, and fox who we also sued earlier is trying the same defense. they did not just report on allegations of the president or his advisers. newsmax, for instance, its own anchors were saying the truth is finally told, or claiming that they had done their own internal investigations that corroborated these lies they were putting onto their air. so it's just not the case that they were covering president trump. they were actually courting president trump and his supporters by broadcasting these lies. in terms of what we have to prove, at the very most what we have to prove is that these defendants

from the eastern part of lake erie down both sides of the niagara river to the niagara falls and the bern and northern shore of lake ontario -- the toronto half, the canadian half looks much better than the western new york half where i went to school. the reason for the present disparity may well be that the u.s. national debt would become excessive in hamilton's sense. it is now larger than the nation's annual gdp and spinning out of control. while the nominal national debt stayed about the same during hamilton's tenure as treasury secretary, strong economic and population growth meant the debt of a percentage of gdp dropped dramatically. thereafter thanks to the fiscal constitution which was a series of rules about borrowing and taxation like don't borrow without dedicated a tax service and repay a debt that hamilton put into place, the national debt increases a percentage of gdp only during wars and depressions and after territorial acquisitions like the louisiana purchase. after each of those borrowing binges economic growth and small budget surpluses combined to reverse the trend. a

i want to bring in alex bern, also erica hill, national correspondent who has been following this story. erica, let me start with you. i think i'm going to just belabor this analogy that has been used, the political winds that have been blowing here. were they the sustained winds that ends this or was it one gust? was there something, to catalyst that ended it for the governor? >> i will say the reaction we saw in the wake of the report on tuesday was pretty swift, right. you had a fair amount of folks in the state especially coming out pretty quickly and saying that they thought the governor should resign after seeing that report. it really snowballed from there. then, of course, you had the president later in the week. when jay jacobs came out, chair of the state democratic party, for a lot of people that was the moment where they just took their breath and said, you know, this is a big deal, between that and carl heastie, the speaker in the assembly, saying it is time, this is not a good look, you cannot cover with this. there's been back and forth in reporting from a number of our c

joining us, john ram, director of homeland security for saint bern around parish.what are you bracing for with landfall? >> what we're looking for, we have constant threat of wind damage coming in, surge is the biggest factor now that we are looking at, outside of the levee protection system, part of the system for new orleans. expecting 7 to 11 feet of storm surge in lower saint bernard. we are fully prepared to accept that and we should be fine inside the levee system. inside that system, looking at wind damage, sustained winds between 74 and 95 miles per hour, occasionally higher hurricane gust winds later tonight and tomorrow morning. >> are you confident in the levee system that's been reconstructed since katrina? >> yes, we have been in contact with the coastal protection restoration authority and south louisiana flood plan authority. work they've done with corp of engineers, rebuilding the system, reengineering it, amount of effort they put into it to make sure it works, much safer than 16 years ago. before then it was earth and levees. i witnessed some cons

massive wildfires, they could say that is x percent the result of this amount of fossil fuels that have bernedve side, we have plenty of science that could get us out of this and the only thing missing is political will. >> well that is always seems to be the issue. there is data about how methane contributes to the climate crisis. >> exactly. they bored down on what was billed the clean natural gas, much better than coal. whales burn cooler than coal but it doesn't mean we should burn them. to use the baby in the car andology, methane is like turning up the heater inside of the car and it acts much faster and you could turn it down much faster. so if they focus on that. we have some infar red and this is leaking out from agriculture, from burping out of cows so there is research on how to capture this and create a more climate friendly dairy for example and capture all of that pollution. so that is just one step. but ultimately the big takeaway is it has to start kind of yesterday. we need a world war ii level mobilization. those factories didn't start making bombers out of the goodness of th

director william berns held a meeting with the taliban yesterday. we'll bring in the reporter who broke the story, john hudson, a national security reporter at the "washington post." john, congratulations for you on this breaking news, and it is super important, the news that william burns, the cia director met with the de facto leader of the taliban. why did this meeting take place and what do you know about what they discussed? >> yeah, john, it is a fascinating meeting of the minds. the most important issue looming over the taliban and the united states' biden administration is this august 31st deadline. so the meeting could not come at a more important time to hash out differences. in the near term, these two men need to figure out a way forward. obviously there are still tens of thousands of people who want to get out of afghanistan. the taliban has said staying, keeping u.s. forces in afghanistan beyond the 31st is a red line, and there will be consequence. biden has sent his top spy master to broker some sort of an agreement that can manage t

when you ask the question do you want us out of afghanistan if it means al-qaeda 3.0, or 9/11, san berneen know and the american homeland is at risk? should we stay on offense vs. defense in the answer is very different. but this president didn't bother to explain the real choices to the american people. and, frankly, a number of administrations i don't think have looked at it that way. but, that's the risk we face right now. that's the reality. and we have to live in the reality that we live in. al-qaeda fully intends to hit us again if given the chance. >> bret: congressman mike waltz from florida again green beret, thanks for the time. >> all right. thanks, bret. >> bret: up next, one of former president trump's key immigration policies makes a comeback. we will tell you what that is. first, here is what some of our fox affiliates around the country are covering tonight. fox 11 in los angeles where [inaudible] immediately self-appointed jeopardy host mike richards calls it quits today following an uproar over offensive comments he made years ago in a memo to staff, richard said the c

. >> so, also breaking overnight, cia director william berns was in kabul yesterday meeting with talibantion and the taliban. the reporter who broke this story joins us in just a minute. and it all comes as president biden faces a critical decision today, a deadline really today concerning u.s. forces in afghanistan. will they stay beyond the august 31st deadline to continue the evacuation mission. the pentagon says it wants to know by today in order to get all of the troops and equipment out in time. they'd have to know now to get it out by august 31st. the president will discuss extending the deadline at a virtual meeting with g7 leaders this morning. the g7 wants the united states largely to stay past the august 31st deadline. the taliban, though, up until now, publicly says, no, they don't want it to last longer. they consider august 31st a red line. that's at least their public comments as of now. let's go to cnn's sam kiley who is live at the airport in kabul where, sam, 21,000 people over a 24-hour period, that is an enormous number. >> reporter: yeah, it's a staggering achievemen

imogen foulkes is in bern, switzerland.e the taliban has actually been an effective control for quite some time, and although it's very hard with the chaotic situation afghanistan to really verify some of these reports, she would not be mentioning them in front of all the un member states if she was not taking them seriously. and i think there is concern that we've had find words from the taliban, but that the actions do not reflect the promises they made to respect human rights. and i think this was why the human rights council met today, but what it decided to do at the end of this emergency session was not nearly as strong as what many human rights activist had urged them to do. i was ttoin to activist had urged them to do. i was going to ask — activist had urged them to do. i was going to ask you _ activist had urged them to do. i was going to ask you about _ activist had urged them to do. i was going to ask you about that because is it right that the taliban has not been actually named in this resolution? it been actua
