I'm Lou Dobbs with the Great America Show midday news update. Millions of Americans choking on
00:00:05.600
dangerous Canadian smoke. If you live in the northeast, some midwestern states, and the
00:00:11.140
eastern seaboard, you're most likely gagging a bit on smoke and toxic particulates filling the
00:00:17.400
air from Canadian wildfires. From Quebec to Nova Scotia and Indiana to North Carolina, 13 states
00:00:24.740
whose residents are now under severe air quality alerts, urged to stay inside for their health.
00:00:31.940
At last count, more than 400 wildfires are raging in Canada, from Quebec and Toronto to Nova Scotia.
00:00:39.040
More than half of those fires still burning out of control. The poisonous smog that has resulted
00:00:45.220
may last for several days. CNN has fired CEO Chris Licht. The embattled CEO lasted just over a year
00:00:53.760
at the Warner Brothers Discovery-owned CNN. CEO of Warner Brothers Discovery, David Zasloff,
00:01:01.180
released the following statement this morning. Quote,
00:01:04.200
I met with Chris and he'll be leaving CNN. I've known Chris for many years and have enormous
00:01:08.920
respect for him, personally and professionally, but here is the important part.
00:01:14.640
Unfortunately, things did not work out the way we had hoped, and ultimately that's on me.
00:01:19.520
I take responsibility. Ratings under Licht were down 25 percent from last year,
00:01:25.660
the company losing a half billion dollars in the time frame. And two rhinos enter the presidential
00:01:31.820
race for the Republican nomination. Former Vice President Mike Pence today announced he'll be running
00:01:37.400
for the 2024 nomination. Pence's announcement comes just a day after former governor of New Jersey,
00:01:43.920
Chris Christie announced he's running as well. And new revelations from House Oversight Committee
00:01:50.120
Chairman James Comer shedding more light on FBI corruption. Comer telling Just the News John
00:01:56.600
Solomon that the FBI has withheld Biden bribery allegations since 2017. That incriminating
00:02:03.440
information held through the 2020 presidential campaign and election and two impeachments of
00:02:09.860
President Trump. Congressman Comer joins us tomorrow right here on The Great America Show
00:02:14.700

00:02:20.760

discussing how to take control of the corrupt FBI, stopping the construction of the new FBI building,
00:02:32.520
cutting funding to the DHS, and perhaps shutting down the Education Department altogether.
00:02:37.900
