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.

00:01:01.180 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

00:01:14.640 Unfortunately, things did not work out the way we had hoped, and ultimately that's on me.
