For the first time ever, a presidential cabinet meeting was broadcast live from Camp David, the presidential retreat where some of the biggest decisions in American history have been made. President Trump had the entire room laughing, but once the jokes were over the conversation turned serious. Trump pointed to the migrant surge into Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta: “That same thing is going to happen to us if the Republicans don’t get elected.” Whether you agree with that or not, the images coming out of Spain have forced a global conversation about borders, sovereignty and whether governments are prepared to respond to mass migration. America Now’s Ben Swann talks with political analyst Garland Nixon about what this means. Also, multimillionaire Kevin O’Leary is backing the controversial Stratos data center project in Utah. The site will occupy some twenty thousand acres in Box Elder County. But local residents are concerned about the impact of the data center on their livelihood. America Now’s Elizabeth Lane reports from the ground in Utah.
