in the center margaret harding mcgill axios, and on the far right john hendel of "politico."e will start in reverse order and the want to start with president trump's suit. the suit that he filed against facebook, twitter and so many other other social media companies. john hendel, what's your thoughts on this and is a going to go anywhere? >> guest: hello, , peter. good to be here. great question. i think right now most people looking at the suit and not necessarily think, they don't really think it's going have many legs in court. but i think the important thing about it is really what it might mean two years from now, four years from now. right now look at this in some ways as a strategy for setting up what some of the rhetoric will be around the midterms, it president trump come former president trump runs reelection. i think he's going to be coming to these notes are bound big tech and what he sees as censorship and some of the concerns. that's going to be dominating a lot of the debate. for him is is a useful issued to come back to. his final year in office you saw him

what are you hearing and how are things feeling there mcgill tonight?> chris these are some of the strongest conditions we spelled on the over the last hour to. seems the storm system has intensified. we're feeling some of those very powerful gust and we know there been widespread power outages across baton rouge, the city of now 224,000 here in downtown and we use the power the street lights behind me are still on, and many of the buildings, although many of them have generators they also have lights inside of them. that is not the case and many low lying neighborhoods, where officials are particularly concerned about flooding. we know police have told us they will not be making rest is tonight and conditions like these, it's simply too dangerous for them to go out to any 9-1-1 calls that are made in this community, so they are waiting for the brunt of the storm to pass over. when that exactly will be remains unclear. we've been told officials say the system we are now experience at the height of the system could last several hours, so we're expecting

news mcgill has been on the ground in baton rouge.have seen from what i was looking at, monitoring local tv stations there, but maybe you have more information. wind gusts of 75 miles per hour, and above. what are you hearing, how are things feeling there mcgill tonight? >> chris these are some of the strongest conditions we felt divided over the last hour. to seems like the storm system here has intensified. we are feeling some of those very powerful gust. we know there is been widespread reports of power outages across baton rouge. the city of about 224, 000, here downtown, at least the power lights the, street lights behind me are still on. many of the buildings still have generators are also having some lights inside of them. that is not the case in many low-lying neighborhoods, where officials are particularly concerned about flooding, we know police have told us they will not be making rescues tonight, in conditions like these, it's simply too dangerous for them to be out in a 9-1-1 calls that are made in this community. so they

keep in mind mcgill is giving all of these up and brandon belt goes opposite for a career best 19th homeot four hits. the giants in the eighth inning in new york leading the mets eight to nothing right now, so that's. say the least they're going the other way, as opposed to the ace now let's talk to some 49 or football when a hall of fame quarterback talks and particularly about quarterbacks you tend to listen but i gotta say steve yeah so i think it's one of the best former athletes to go into the tv booth man but he had some maybe some eyebrow raising comments with regard to the 40 niners quarterback situation maybe you didn't hear about it. trey lance of course in his second preseason game last night against the chargers plates. six total series seem to get sharper as it went along heavy adrenaline work in formerly threw a fastball that was deflected up one of his receivers for the interception that he threw, but he did complete two touchdown passes wound up eight of 14 for 102 yards and here's what steve young fix of the current 49ers situation between trade lance and jimmy garoppolo

it is a government that knows well if it were exposed to the rigors of a fulsome mcgill -- full-scalecy it would lose power. and not necessarily lose power to those presently engaged in this negotiation, but maduro is unpopular, and he has been unpopular for the duration of his term and a half office so far. he's not going to sit down and talks and agreed to something that is going to lead to him losing power, especially because he is wanted internationally for allegations of drug trafficking, human rights abuses. there are two cases in the international criminal court, high-ranking officials included, so it is highly risky for him to agree to anything like that. >> paul, would you like to respond to claims that maduro is highly unpopular? >> i would agree with him in this, but we need to contextualize. there is a widespread disenchantment with political parties in venezuela which have been building over the last five years, and they are being reflected internet and elections. turnout has been decreasing in the past six or seven years in every election. it would be fair to say venezue

all right, susan mcgill what happened to the love letters that elizabeth found in the desk. so in that letter she does say to washington that she will give them to tobias lear, but at first to buy his leader doesn't want them. he is too nervous that his personal correspondence between martha and george, which i think is very interesting because tobias lear was his longtime secretary so you would think that there would have been some overlap, but but maybe not maybe he really did respect george and marcus privacy, but she does eventually give the bundle to tobias and i believe he brings them back to to washington, but what's interesting and kind of cool and and just a glimpse into how people wrote letters and how they packaged up letters elizabeth specifically notes that she has bundled them up with her own paper and then three seals of her blessed friends arms that she uses so so she makes sure washington knows that that she seen the bundle but she hasn't looked in the bundle. so sadly. i think that they were probably burned as well. although i do really love the parallel of

david: you went to mcgill university. i did -- noubar: i did. david: what did you major in?oubar: chemical engineering. which was an interesting field at the time, because that is the field that first got drawn into biotechnology when that industry started. david: after you graduated you went to m.i.t.? noubar: yes. i was the first graduate from what was called the bio process engineering center. it was the first time engineers were being trained to do advanced work in biology. the notion was this industry was being born so you need engineers to come up with how to make the products. that's how i got involved. david: were there a lot of armenians in this m.i.t. program? noubar: [laughter] i don't think there had been armenians at m.i.t. for many years. i was not surrounded by familiar faces. david: when you got your phd, were you going to go teach? which is what sometimes people do with phd's and that, or did you want to go into the industry? what did you decide? noubar: it was an interesting time. i reflected on it quite a bit. because this was a new field, i have since rea

joining us now is the associate professor at mcgill university. great to have you with us.iban is trying to project a softer image, if you will, a time offensive as it tries to gain international credibility this time around. do you think that actually translates to a better outlook for afghan women and girls? >> i think you're absolutely right. the taliban has been on a charm offensive, trying to rivet below take -- rehabilitate their public persona. afghanistan of 2021 is not the same as the afghanistan of 1996. the taliban has got to make good on their commitment, as you said, and they will respect women's rights, want to include women in the talks for the new transitional government that is currently underway. certainly now, we have to perhaps step back and see how things unfold in the next couple of days. haidi: at the same time, we see corroborated an uncorroborated videos and accounts including forced marriages. it is simply sexual enslavement going on. women who work for state banks, for example, being told they don't have their jobs anymore. really even more distur

host: that is mcgill calling. guest: the question is not whether they are good people or bad people. they are not, they are regular people. some are good, some are bad -- most are like the rest of us, a little bit of each. the question is what is the effect of our immigration policy on the broader national interest? the national academies of sciences looked at just the economic, sort of, dollar and cents, side of immigration, not just illegal immigration, but general immigration policy, and their conclusion was there is in fact a small, net benefit, when you add up the cost just in the labor market. the cost and benefits -- there is a relatively small net benefit to the country as a whole. the problem is that benefit, number one is relatively small. number two, it comes from lowering the wages of people competing with immigrants. in other words, lowering the wages of less skilled people, and then, sort of, transferring that benefit to the rest of society, and that is a moral question. is it right to have a reverse

[laughter] are right susan mcgill what happened to the love letters that elizabeth found in the desk?in that letter she does say to washington that she will give them to tobias. but at first he doesn't want them. he is too nervous that his personal correspondence betwn martha and george. which i think is interesting he was his long-term secretary. you would think there would have been some overlap. but maybe not. maybe he did really respect george and martha's privacy. she does eventually give the bundle to tobias and i believe he brings them back to washinon. what is interesting and kind of cool, a glimpse into how people wrote letters, how they package up letter, elizabeth specifically notes she has a bundled them up with her own paper and three seals of her blessed friends arms that she herself uses. she makes sure washington knows that she seen the bundle but is not looked at the bundle. i think sadly there probably burned as well. although i do really love the parallel the fact the two letters that survive that we know of were found in a desk. and these were found in a desk. clea

that's his 18th off tyler mcgill who gave up seven runs to the giants tonight, one nothing and it justps going. mike is stransky this thing goes even further ticket, too. ride, 451 ft. that's a two run shot. he's got 20 on the year giants out and moving three. nothing over the meds early seems like lamonte wade jr has hit more than 17 there's another one that is gone l central they keep the pressure on the meds and brandon belt to after the game announced that his grandmother passed away earlier in the day and dedicated the rest of this season tour reaches his career high with an opposite field. home run right there and the giants coast eight. nothing behind some good pitching and they needed it easy when they've got 16 games in 16 days, coming up gain any ground on the dodgers no, not tonight because l a just doesn't seem to lose any more second inning against the padres catcher will smith deep and god. he's got 19 and the dodgers leading one to nothing and you know it was going to be there at night when manny machado with a man on hits, one deep eight j pollock will make a great catc
