mess. it was a mess you know, when the russians attacked afghanistan in the 80s and they pulled out it was the same thing. they were there for ten years and it was a mess. it is a closed country. they have tribal rule. there s a bunch of things going on we don t understand. and right now the airport is an obvious target. so so we have to figure out how to get people there and get them out safely. but i d love to see us do it together. as far as entertaining the troops, i haven t been to afghanistan. i went to iraq a few times, and it was an impossible job. it is in a place of terrain, of culture, of climate that is p completely different, couldn t be more different than the united states and what we re used to. so what they re dealing with and what they re doing, it s tougher than anything you can imagine until you actually see it.u let s get them out let s take care of it and then get into the politics later because i believt
afghanistan that says all u.s. citizens in the vicinity of the airport including the south gate should leave the airport area immediately. there is concern as we understand it about a credible threat aimed at the airport and that all people should leave the area of the airport immediately due to a credible threat. this comes from the u.s. embassy in afghanistan. we know what happened earlier this week, and we know that theh state department and u.s. officials have been asking rt people to stay away by degrees. first it was stay away unless you have a specific way to get here and stay away unless you have specific instructions to come.fi and then the instructions became don t come to the airport, and now the instruction is back off from the airport because there s a credible threat. we ll keep an eye on that and le update you on that as we get more information. but catherine, let me begin with
you re better than me. you re compassionate for them. to me it s like yeah you should probably get some of that horse medicine. we re going to work on people who are trying to stay well who got sick. it really is unfair to health care workers, and it s a shame that people who legitimately get sick can t get treatment or whatever because people willingly choose to believe the most ridiculous and i don t know. i don t know what argument you make. i don t know how to beat this. again, as a comedian any of these things if i made them up the audience would laugh. and if i told you last year when we were all lock down oh, yeah we re going to have a vaccine but people aren t going to take it because it ll make you magnetic last august we d be like, okay, i ll be magnetic, just let me out of the house. give me a wooden door handle so
than this, and you know it. okay. ma am, why are you here today? why are you here today? because i have children and grandchildren that i want to live free, and this is all smoke and mirrors. this is tyranny. what do you mean by medical tyranny? excuse me, i have to go. you don t have rights anymore, that s what it means. we literally have come up with an incredibly safe and efficacious vaccine, and people don t want to accept it. there s little to no side effects, it s effective and people are behind me screaming about how it s tyranny and it s communism, and it s silly is what it is. literally they ve got a doctor here telling them how safe it is. dr. meredith duke says she has two children of her own say has two children of her ow
had this happened under trump il would have been a mess.ap it doesn t matter.ve it s a tough situation. it s a war. you re trying to get out of a country that you don t know. let s take care of that first. speaking of getting people out i should, by the way, just u update you on the latest numbers we have from the white house ou from today, about 2,000 people were evacuated from kabul, the result of 11 u.s. military flights, c17s, those huge military cargo planes which carry approximately 1,400 evacuees. there were seven coalition flights that carried 600 people. and so far in the last two weeks the total evacuation has been approximately 113,500 people just in the last few weeks. about 119,000 overall. but, again, the u.s. embassy is warning americans to not come to the airport, to stay away from the airport because of what it describes as a specific as a specific credible threat. alonzo, i ll come back to you ic one second, but i do want to ged
