Criminal indictment looms. And have you seen this video . The violent free for all on the waterfront. Police are expected to reveal more about this Alabama Dock Brawl just hours from now. A lot to get to. Good morning and welcome to our viewers in the u. S. And around the world. Im rahel solomon. People from new york to mississippi are cleaning up after a deadly storm hit the east coast with heavy rain, thunder and raging winds up to 70 miles per hour. The high winds and falling trees smashed buildings and tore the roofs off of some homes. Two young men were killed. A 28 was hit by lightning in a parking lot and in anderson, South Carolina, a 15yearold died when a falling tree hit him and he is got out of his car. Neighbors say the power of the storm at that moment was just breathtaking. The rain was literally sideways. Trees, Limbs Ohitting your trucs and you are driving. One of the worst ive seen. If it wasnt a tornado, it had to be awfully close. I just feel for them. They are wonde
also tonight, after the hottest days on record, has climate change already reached a tipping point? the meteorologist who left local news after his climate coverage led to a death threat joins me tonight. and america s economy is red hot. jobs and wages are growing. inflation is easing. so why isn t joe biden more popular? but we begin tonight with a crisis that is impossible to ignore. i often start this show with the most recent to solve on american democracy at the hands of the modern republican party or the supreme court, but tonight i want to talk to you about a different type of existential threat. y all know it s hot. some of you in arizona spent the day trying to avoid 115 degree heat. next week, it might hit 120. earlier this week, i shared some really terrifying news. some scientists believed that july 4th of this year may have been one of the hottest days on earth in 125,000 years. guess what. we keep breaking those records. new york s temperature set a record
