holly, a freelance reporter stuck in shareef has asked to ask the taliban to escort her to the border. she described what happened to the afghan national army. there are a lot of abandoned tanks and abandoned u.s. equipment. the other thing i thought was interesting after a lot of taliban actually wearing the ana military union glorms uniforms purchased by u.s. taxpayers now worn by the taliban. i just received heart breaking email from a long time friend of mine who runs an ngo in afghanistan. she says 20 years of gains vanished overnight. the world she says betrayed afghanistan, quote: legitimized the savages and brought them into power. i don t understand, she writes, i m still in shock, afghans especially women will face a world of fear, destruction, misery and endless pain. bret? bret: i have gotten some of those emails and messages as well. jennifer, thank you. in moments we will talk to that freelance journalist holly mckay. she will give us an update live
got out of control and maybe challenge rated on the internet, on the other hand, it s a bad idea for any politician, especially the vice president, to have a reporter stuck in any sort of cloz el when they re trying to cover a fund-raiser. it s pretty awkward. i they they got a black eye about this. i can guarantee the vice president will not do this again. this was a big pr hit for them. they won t let it happen again. beware of closets around the white house. reporter: i ll be on the look jut. we ll see you later. thanks, ed. watch cnn for live coverage of the president s speech tonight. you can see it right here at 7:30 p.m. eastern time. a drug resistant infection is spreading. where it s showing up and who is at risk right after a quick break. stay inside? nah. not when you have a five-star overall vehicle score for safety.
