and bring on the good stuff. guaranteed visit four imprint.com good morning to you. welcome to cnn this morning, it s sunday, june 23rd. i m victor blackwell and i m amara walker. thank you so much for being with us. here s what we re watching for you. this morning. the one one-on-one showdown between president biden and former president trump is just four days away. trump is out on the trail taking shots as his opponent while the president hunger s down with the staff at camp, david was catastrophic. flooding is prompting evacuations and rescues and states across the midwest and heat alerts persist for more than 100 million people through the weekend dc hit 100 degrees for the first time in eight years. also stunning accusations against a texas woman accused of trying to drown a three-year-old at a pool. why those are the community are calling the incident than a potential hate-crime. boeing and nasa officials are again delaying the boeing starliner capsule is retu
truth and accountability. kabul did not fall in 11 days, dana. that is a lie. it took months for the afgan army to desert and surrender. the taliban takeover came after three months. biden was briefed by the intelligence agencies, state department cables went out, embassy cables went out. biden knew in july that the taliban was taking over because he got on the phone call with the afgan president and said lie for me. make sure it looks better on the ground so i get help politically and then maybe i ll give you a little more air support. so the lies cost lives, and we need to know the facts. so al kade a s back in afghanistan and we have dead marines and we have a huge technology transfer to the chinese military which we re going to have to deal with in the pacific and now we re importing all these child brides. we re bringing in thousands of afgan men who married 12 years old, crews got into that, where will they live dana?
a huge moment in his time as secretary of state, for better or for worse and i did like the dynamics better in person. it needs to be treated with respect especially since we lost american lives, 13, and 18 wounded. but it felt like a bipartisan shellacking to me. it felt like yesterday was longer time limits. and i think that that s something that the biden administration is prepared for. they know what the polling looks like on this and they re going to show up and they re going to take it. dana: katie one of the things that frustrated some of the people working behind the scenes, these private groups working with veterans who are trying the on get there, interpreters and their families out, was when antony blinken said, every one of the people, and i guess he was talking about the americans that are left behind and the green card holders, has been assigned a case worker. right. dana: case manager and they have a team of case managers and one of the young women i talked to said
something. so lloyd austin would not testify today, secretary of defense. they said he s going to be testifying in front of another committee later this month. there s some frustration from people who follow this that this is just all being done in a piecemeal way and they would like to have like the 9/11 commission. is that something the democrats would be willing to do. i actually do think it s something democrats would be willing to do. bob menendez is a strong biden supporter. this is someone, he backed biden in 2016 when hillary ended up being the nominee and his words were as forceful as ted cruz s or ron johnson and yesterday we saw it from key figures in the democratic house like karen bass. and i think that it is going to continue. i do think on an optics level it made a big difference that secretary blinken was in person today. not that it was his fault for not going yesterday, was the rules that you could zoom in. there was even the congressman who was in his closet who di
warren and raised $70 million. does that show they re nervous or is that democrats saying we re going to win big and we all want credit for it. dana: five, six weeks ago i think they were very nervous especially as larry elder started picking up speed. he already has state wide name id, which is hard to get. but because larry elder had it and he s very popular and he was talking about the issues. he didn t talk about donald trump or biden or kamala harris. he was talking about homelessness, crime, education, and the economy. and he was worried that people in california were wanting to leave. and anytime that i saw gavin newsom get out there and try to campaign, one, he didn t seem authentic, he was kind of very angry didn t seem like him, he wasn t talking about the issues and they so badly want to run against donald trump that ace little bit bit of a tell for the 2020 midterms. the other thing if you re the commander of chief and left the
