recommendations in place. nbc nightly news anchor, lester holt, ask president biden about the discrepancy and an exclusive interview today. mister president, in the recent days, we ve seen numerous governors from blue states rollback indoor mask requirements, essentially getting ahead of the federal government, the cdc. are those governors wrong? well, it s hard to say whether they re wrong. the science is saying now that masks work. masks make a difference. and there s a relationship i think there s only one governor going back immediately, and most of them are somewhere in february, and february, march, april, they set a time limit. and i assume it has something to do with whether the omicron variant continues to dive, and fewer and fewer cases. because there is a relationship between the number of cases you have in your community, and the need to wear masks. you acknowledge, though, restlessness and leaders bowing to the political whims oh, i do. omicron and the variant,
whether it s afghanistan, abby, let s turn to that. because another answer that jumped out of me from leicester holt s interview was the president was asked about a recently uncovered u.s. army report first obtained by the washington post that revealed there were plenty of military leaders frustrated with the white house and the state department officials over how the evacuation in afghanistan, the preparation for it went down. let s take a look. you are letting military officer who said the administration ignored the handwriting on the wall. another described folks in the embassy evacuate and encountering people essentially in denial of this situation. does any of that ring true to you? no no that s not what i was told. are you rejecting the conclusiontors accounts that are in this army report in.
as we go through this year. in the meantime, i will do everything in my power to deal with the big points that are impacting most people in their homes. what do you make of that? i have to say, his first response is leicester holt is being a wise guy. i ve never heard leicester hold described as a wise guy. that was a straight newsman question. you said it was going to be temporary, what is your definition of temporary? he bristled as if it was about his feelings. and provides a specific number of noble laureats that called him on this issue. look, a lot of presidents actually get in that head space where president biden is right now. they re running the country. they re hearing from a lot of smart people telling them that the numbers look good. but the problem with that answer is that it doesn t actually capture, a, the answer that is important to people listening to it, which is do you understand what i am experiencing?
