Department warning as many as 15,000 americans stuck in taliban country they cant ensure safe passage to get them to the Kabul Airport and fly them out . You must demand that the mightiest force on the planet does not surrender its own to this kind of fate from a bunch of zealot thugs. [ gunfire ] thats what you want your countrymen to surrender to . The State Department should not be warning the desperate. The warning is a desperate one to the State Department and this administration. You had been do what you have to to get americans out. What does this country stand for, if not committing completely to protecting its own . Another bad sign, the administration seems to be allowing the taliban to dictate terms here. Were going to get everyone that we can possibly evacuate evacuated. And ill do that as long as we possibly can until the clock runs out or we run out of capability. We will get out as many as possible. Clock runs out when you say it runs out. And as many as possible is all of them. Thats what is possible. Bring them all home. Now, the worst sign for the fate of many of your fellow citizens stranded in a heldslscape is coming from our president who is not echoing the urgency youre hearing expressed here. All troops are supposed to be out by August 31st. Even if americans and our afghan allies are still trying to get out, theyre going to leave . Were going to do everything in our power to get all americans out and our allies out. Reporter does that mean troops will stay beyond August 31st if necessary . Depends on where we are and whether we can ramp these numbers up to 5,000 to 7,000 a day coming out. If thats the case, theyll all be out. Reporter because weve got like 10,000 to 15,000 americans in the country right now, right . And are you committed to making sure that the troops stay until every american who wants to be out is out . Yes. Yes. Were going to try to get it done before August 31st. Reporter but if we dont, the troops will stay. If we dont, well determine at the time whos left. I have to say headlines that biden says troops will stay thats not what he said. He didnt say theyll definitely stay after the 31st. Thats not the truth. The truth is he was qualified about it. And it shouldnt be qualified. The only must here is to get the people out, your people out. Biden must be pressed to do more. Now, one step back, okay . For those who must see this in terms of political blame, first, stop scaring people by saying millions of afghans are going to come here. Nobody is using a number like that that. Nobody. You wonder why people are criticizing that kind of statement as oddly reflective of what trump i referred to as his brown menace argument, about people coming over the southern border, taking your women and your jobs, killing everybody. Thats what it sound like. Why exaggerate the numbers . This is about citizens and the people we promised to help after they risked their lives for us. We should all be on the same page here. And the doesnt have to be all come here. We have allies, right, options, right . Now, in terms of why we are here, president biden did not start this fire. It is fair to say biden was given a bad hand by Trump And Co. They made the deal with these terrorists and then they started a major pullout even when the taliban didnt do what they promised in that deal. Trumps own secretary of defense, esper, says as much. But today it all shifted. Biden could have changed the deal, could have planned differently, could have likely avoided this degree of chaos, and the administration did not. Period. And Today President biden, frankly, sounded like president donald trump, feigning that what were all seeing could not have gone any better. No, i dont think it could have been handled in a way that were going to go back in hindsight and look, but the idea that somehow theres a way to have gotten out without Chaos Ensu ensuing, i dont know how that happens. I dont know how that happened. They say they were prepared for all contingencies. Clearly you were not prepared for all contingencies. Clearly could you have gotten your people out first and done this early. And if this president doesnt grasp the urgency of doing more and better here, some words of his may come back to haunt him these. Theres going to be no circumstances where youre going to see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy of the united states from afghanistan. The likelihood theres going to be the Taliban Overrunning Everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely. Happened. And that picture of saigon, we dont have to compare it to anything else. Its bad enough on its own. And the best reason that we may not wind up plucking people, america may not wind up rescuing people from the roof of its embassy is because they closed it so soon. But desperate efforts are not far off here. And know this while those words may haunt this president , we may all be haunted by what happens in afghanistan and is revisited here. The people that you break your promise to, if they are left trapped in that kind of desperation, they may come back to haunt you as some of the most ardent recruits looking to avenge the betrayal. We have seen it before. Learn from history or be doomed to repeat it. So what happens now . Lets Brain Storm with a better mind. Former Cia Counterterrorism Official Phil Mudd who helped build the afghan government that just fell. First, do you agree with my assessment . No, i dont. Look, the question here is not whether the first couple days went well. They did not. The question is whether we look back in 30 days, 60 days, a year and say 50,000 people, 75,000 people, american citizens, afghan interpreters, friends of the american embassy, friends of the u. S. Military, friends of the cia, did we get them out relatively safe despite the fact that the first couple days went well . Look, its like, chris, were in the first laughps of the indy 5 and were 12 cars behind the lead and were saying we lost. The first laps didnt go well. Thats not the same question as if in a month or two or two or three years we say we got out the people we needed to get out. Lets slow down and fix it. I dont think we disagree. Im saying where does your optimism coming from when are you had State Department say to those people who were supposed to get out first, im not sure we can get you to where we can get you then out of there. So where is your confidence coming from . We can answer that in a moment. I wouldnt get them if i were the State Department. But a couple things i would look at, first is relative relative security. That is, there appears to be some sort of conversation to deal with the taliban that means that thousands of people can get out today. You can reverse that, chris. There could be a situation where Theres Mortar attacks on the airfield, attacks on the thousands of u. S. Military there and People Cant get out. If we can get 5,000 people out day for the next 15 days, that is a huge success. So my optimism im not an optimist, im a realist. My realism is the taliban appears to think its okay to let people go the first day or two. Its certainly better than where we were three days ago. I dont know. I feel like were frozen in exactly that place, the taliban is doing what it wants, were taking the timeline from them. Did i just hear you right . Did you say if you were the State Department, you wouldnt make preparations and plans to get americans that right now cant get to the Air Base . I wouldnt offer them safe travel. The comment i heard from the u. S. Government is you have safe travel. I forget the exact term. Safe travel to the airport. The other comment is we cant assure that. That means to me the u. S. Government has some kind of kfrs with the taliban that says please let people who want to go to the airport go. Let me give you the bottom line. We dont want 5,000 ubers a day from the airport in afghanistan going to pick up people who identify with the u. S. And then risking firefights with taliban along the way. One wrong shot, the taliban start shooting, the u. S. Starts shooting back, people have to slow down. Eventually i think people might be able to make their way to the airport, but i would not want thousands of Care Vans of u. S. Military traveling through kabul right now risking a firefight with the taliban. Thats a disaster, chris. All im saying is how could it be acceptable to us or anyone else if americans are left behind . Its not searchcceptable. My question is can we sit back and saying without the first 72 hours can we sit back and say over the course of the next 13 or 14 days until september 1st, which is what the president talked about, can we get the people out who are American Sipt Se citizens and the people who supported us . It appears to me the american people are saying we already failed. We havent failed until americans arent out and our friends arent out and that chapter is not close to closed. We agree 100 . Im just saying failure to plan is setting yourself up to fail. And i want to know what theyre doing to make this happen over the next 14 days instead of just saying we just have 14 days, well do our best. I think they need to tell more. I think they need to do more. Thats the urgency. It aint over but it will be over if we dont do better from this point until we get them all out. Phil mudd, respect the honesty and the candor and insight. Ill see you soon. Thanks, chris. See you. Look, i dont know any other way to see it. Im not saying its over. Im just saying you have to plan, you have to do better. How are you going to do better . Telling people, hey, we cant come get you dont sound like better to me. Now, that is the national Security Issue that we have abroad. We have one within as well. And it is a war and it is against a virus. Booster shots are now all the talk. People are confused again. The reporting is they will be as available as soon as next month for fully vaccinated adults, and those who got it first will be the most prepared for it because they want about eight months since you got vaccinated. Why was that decision suddenly made when most were told they werent going to need a booster yet . How do we clear up this confusion about the vaccine and how good it is if you need a booster . The man to make the case is dr. Anthony fauci next. After we make Grilled Cheese, then were eating Grilled Cheese. Because its time. Yeah. Time for Grilled Cheese. Someone once told me, that i should get used to people staring. So i did. Its okay, you can stare. When youre a twotime gold medalist, it comes with the territory. Liberty mutual Customizes Car Insurance so you only pay for what you need. How much money can liberty mutual save you . One two three four five 72,807 72,808. Dollars. Yep. Everything hurts.

We treat every customer like we would treat our own moms. Because thats what they deserve. Okay. Its official. Booster shots are now advised for all americans, eight months after you get your second shot. Okay . Health officials cited three separate Studies Today that showed Covid Protection Waning over time, including this one that looked at 10 Million vaccinated new yorkers. It showed that Modernas Effectiveness dropped from 86 to 76 over selfven months. Pfizer went from 76 to 42 . The president says this is the key to fighting new variants like delta. This will boost your immune response, increase your protection from covid19. Thats the best way to protect ourselves from new variants that could arise. This is no time to let our guard down. So the vaccine is the best way to fight delta, and the vaccine is not that great against delta. I understand why that seems to be in contradiction of itself, and its confusing. So lets bring in dr. Anthony fauci to discuss what this means and what this doesnt mean. Tony, i talk to you all the time, i know the answers to these questions, but many people dont get it so lets dialogue this the way its happening all over this country right now, which is if Someones Vaccine hesitant or not sure about the booster, they say i dont get it. If the vaccine is a must have, what does it mean that im being told the resistance is getting so low that you need another one . It makes people suspicious. What do you say . Well, i think its obvious that its understandable, chris, how you could get a little bit confused by this. The vaccines do work, and they do work well. Thats the reason why we still very, very much encourage people to get vaccinated, the 90 plus or so million people who have not yet gotten vaccinated. The issue is that over the recent weeks to months, what weve seen in the context of the Delta Variant, which is now well over 90 of all of the isolates are Delta Variant right now, were seeing, as you correctly pointed out, a diminution over time of the response. It still protects well at this point against hospitalizations and death, but the protection against infection and clinical type of disease, not necessarily hospitalization, that still holds quite high degree of protection. But if you project and look at where we might and particularly in the context, chris, of whats going on in israel, which are usually about a month or two ahead of us in the sense of getting people Vaks Nccinated a the dynamics of their outbreak. Theyre starting to see a diminution in the only in their Infection Protection and against disease but also in vulnerable populations and homiz hospitalizations. Rather than wait for that to happen, we want to get the response much higher and more durable. So getting vaccinated now if youre not vaccinated is important. The vaccines work. But in order to ensure looking ahead, instead of chasing after something like this Delta Virus that might actually be getting a diminution in protection, you want to stay ahead of the game. Thats why the decision was to boost people. Two quick things. One is this is you making the decision and the team based on data, not Big Pharma telling you this to put more money in their pockets. Absolutely not. It has nothing to do with Big Pharma. This was an analysis of it. The final decisions and i mean, we know where were going, where we want to go with this. Obviously the fda is involved from a regulatory standpoint, as well as the advisory bodies to the cdc. Okay. But its very clear whats going on. Were having a diminution of effect. This is not Drug Company Stuff at all, no way. Thank you for clarifying it. A lot of people are suspicious. The idea of we understand now. But within the team there seems to be a durcifference in the se of urgency. Control room, The Sound of the members i skipped over, please play that sound. We want to clarify the need for and timing of a boost has not been established. Fully vaccinated individuals do not need an additional dose right now. Now thats yesterday. Does the Messaging Kind of stink in terms of coordination here . Well, actually, what were you just no, dr. Kneelia gaswami and dr. Kathleen doolg. Theyre cdc docs. Im sorry, but i cant see with the screen. Its all good, tony. Okay. The situation is if you look at the data that was analyzed, right now you dont need it right at this moment because the one thing you want to make sure you do is you protect people from getting serious illness requiring hospitalization. So at that moment, the protection is still high but when you plot it and look at the curve that you just mentioned from the new york cohort, from the Mayo Clinic cohort, its going down the wrong direction. If you look at whats gone on in israel, the same thing happened and then they started to get in trouble where you had more serious disease and hospitalization. So rather than waiting until that happens in the future, a month, two, three months from now, we want to do the boosters now to prevent that. You use the hockey analogy. You want to skate where the puck is going to be, not where the puck is. What they said is true. Right at this moment the protection against Hospitalization And Death is still very high, but given the ominous signs of the protection diminishing for infection and clinical disease, we want to make sure were not all of a sudden in trouble and then decide were going to do something about it, as opposed to anticipating the problem and doing something about it right now. Understood. Thats the explanation. Thank you for clarifying it obviously. Its just that people throw this stuff in my face all the time about why do you trust this advice when this advice seems to fight it . Thats why i put it to you. Thank you for clarifying. One other quick thing. Unfortunately Governor Abbott catches covid, breakthrough case. Hes vaccinated, may have gotten the regeneron. Lets leave the Regeneron Thing to the side. People are going to say why Cant Everybody get it . Separate issue for a separate day. Masks. Governors like him and desantis are making masks a political decision. Given the waning effect to the vaccine, what is your message to florida and texas about how important masking is, especially in schools with kids where a large percentage of them wont be vaccinated . Masks are an important thing for the mitigation, the Transmission And Acquisition of infection. They are very important, particularly when you have a highly, highly transmissible virus in the form of the Delta Variant. And thats the reason why when you talk about the extra added degree of protection, even in a School System where you may have Vaks Naccinated teachers and so the children may be vaccinated, you are want to wear a mask to fr protect the children so they could continue to be in school, in person, in classes so we dont get the deleterious effects on the child of again keeping them out of school. You want to do that but you want to do it safely. And masks contribute greatly to the safety of the children. Dr. Anthony fauci, thank you for the straight talk on the situations that matter. I appreciate you. Thank you for being on the show. Thank you, chris. Thank you for having me. All right. So lets go from The War At Home to the war abroad. Look, these interpreters, you keep being introduced to them, right . Why . They risk their lives an their families lives to save the lives of our american troops. Theyre very vital. The country made a promise them to take care of them and their Loved Ones. This isnt a favor. Its a promise. Youre going to meet one who is stilloic acts. Okay .

As many as possible isnt good enough when it comes to bringing people home that you promised to help. Getting everyone out, full stop. The Human Truth of that isnt evident when you see the chaos of people scrambling for Safety Tonight outside the airport in kabul than for the reason we went there in the first place to stop the next osama bin laden. It can come back to haunt you. You leave people in desperation, they become desperate and they remember who put them there. Right or wrong, thats how they see it. The only way to keep our word is to get more people out and faster than were hearing. Right now were averaging about 20 sortis and c17s every 24 hours. We have the capability to increase that throughput as the department makes evacuees available. Weve already evacuated approximately 5,000 people. Just look at the numbers and why we need better. The 5,000 number that the general just mentioned is since sunday. The pentagon admits we need to be doing that much and more every day. A spot on one of those c17s is exactly what my next guest is hoping to secure for his family, ismail kahn. He spent five years alongside trips as a translator. Its one of the most dangerous jobs. Thank you for your service to america. I appreciate you taking the opportunity tonight. Thank you, chris, for having me. Thank you. Now, what are you doing right now from where you are in seattle to help back home . Im basically keeping the united states promise to the afghan people, the promise that the united states made to those heros that you and your Loved Ones will be saved and thats what no one left behind is trying to do to keep their promise. Help me understand what it is you can do. I heard that you havent been sleeping, you havent been to work, youre Recruiting Friends in seattle. What are you doing . So five of my friends are sitting in the next room with me. Most of me have their day jobs. They have left their jobs. So ive been in direct contact with a lot of people in afghanistan. Theyre begging for help. So im trying to get the information as much as i can and then create a file and hoping to share that with the State Department and d. O. D. That these are the people in the system or there are some people that are not even in the system but they did risk their life. So we are going to provide what they should have done a long time ago, thats what we have been doing. Have you gotten any response from the State Department or any indication that theyll be receptive to what you give them . Negative. Nothing yet. Now, this is not just an act of charity for you, this is desperation for your own. How hard is it for you to be in seattle but to know that your own family, the people you love and care about, are in such a bad place and are exposed to the taliban because of your helping america . Its been really hard. I would ask every american to think about their Loved Ones, to think about their own kids and their family when theyre in that sort of situation. My story is every single afghan who helped forces in afghanistan. I am trying everything to help not only my family, every single family that are in afghanistan and begging for help. They are asking to get them out of kill zone. It has been a really tough week. I couldnt sleep because during the night, its day in afghanistan and a lot of people have been calling, texting, emailing, begging for help, and there is not much that i can do but ill push as much as i can. Create a list, share it with the State Department, push as much as i can to help out. How scared is your family, and what do you want them to know tonight . The last time that i spoke with my mom, like its been theyre really scared but i was talking to my mom and i said like if anything happens to any of you, i would be blaming myself for the rest of my life and she was giving me confident that we will be okay, dont worry, and dont ever blame yourself, you did everything that you could to help the entire country, to help the u. S. Forces, to help the family. So you shouldnt be blaming yourself for that. Theres the confidence that she is giving it to me. But my brothers, theyre young, they have never seen the taliban come and they have never seen how wild and merciless they are. So i am way more afraid than they are. They are giving me confident that we will be okay, dont worry, everything will be fine. Ismail, as i promised to another interpreter who is trying to get their family out. Im going to give you my number after this, please keep me in the loop whats happening with your family, what youre being told. I know the country made you a promise and i know its a promise that has to be kept, and i know its frightening to right now to not know if thats going to happen and its not fair. Ill give you of my number, well stay in touch, well do what we can but i promise to report on your story. Again, thank you for what you did for this country and i hope the favor is returned. Thank you so much. Thank you, chris. All right, be well. Um, in just the past few hours, two more School Boards voted to defy florida governor desantis on his Mask Mandate ban. Why . Because communities are worried. Parents want their kids to be safe. We dont know as well as the scientists do. Were not supposed to make these decisions for our kids, we dont know what the hell theyre taking about. Were going to go into their fight with their School Board chair, as florida cases are exploding. Next. [sizzling] i may not be able to tell time, but i know what time it is. [whispering] its Grilled Cheese oclock. Deposit, plan and pay with easy tools from chase. Simplicity feels good. Chase. Make more of whats yours. Know what the hell theyre woman from our classrooms. Man . To the playing fields. Maybe more than ever before, we are ready for this school year. Im so excited to see all of my students. Were doing all we can to make sure our schools are safe. Woman . To make sure our schools are safe. I want to thank parents and families for working with us. And continuing to be our partners. Thank you so much. We cant do it without you. We cant do it without you. Woman because we know quality public schools make a better california. Emergency planning for kids. We cant predict when an emergency will happen. So thats why its important to make a plan with your parents. Here are a few tips to stay safe. Know how to get in touch with your family. Write down Phone Numbers for your parents, siblings and neighbors. Pick a place to meet your family if you are not together and cant go home. Remind your parents to pack an emergency supply kit. Making a plan might feel like homework, but it will help you and your family stay safe during an emergency. Florida state officials are now targeting a third School District for defying Governor Desantis Ban on Mask Mandates. Miami dade is the largest district in the state. It joins Broward And Alashawa counties in requiring students wear masks without allowing parents to opt out. Desantis is threatening to withhold funding and salaries of superintendents and School Board members in those communities. Youd think that he would focus his attention on the real problem, which is that his state has the highest Child Hospitalization Rate in the country. Do the parents in florida really believe that they know better than scientists and doctors about what to do for their Kids Health . Broward County Superintendent says they only have five Pediatric Icu Beds available in the county. Lets bring in [ no audio ]. Thank you for having me, chris. What is the message to your community and parents who say the governor says the parents should be deciding. Well, you know, we get into cars and if im Driving In My Car and i put my 6yearold Granddaughter or my 17monthold grand baby in the car, i have to put them in a car seat. I dont have a right as a grandparent. My Daughter And Soninlaw doesnt have a right as a parent. When it comes to this public Health Crisis that were in with the pandemic that is impacting people in a way that it never has before, florida has become the epicenter for the coronavirus. Our Positivity Rate here are higher than ever before. It is impossible to bring 30,000 employees, 270 students into a school and on school busses where you Cant Practice social distancing. So you have to use the mitigating tools that you have in your tool box, vaccinations and we know there are a lot of people not vaccinated. Children under 12 dont even have an option to be vaccinated. We have to use masks. Everybody has to wear a mask. We have to wash our hands and try not to gather in large groups. It is just no way to bring students back in Facetoface Learning with at least 27 or 28 individuals in a classroom and have masks be optional. Its like youre playing Russian Roulette with peoples lives. Youve lost teachers and employees to covid. I want to make sure people understand that. Now your county only has five Pediatric Icu Beds. Forget about the politicians. Are the families getting the message . And have you been seeing compliance . We have. Today was the first day of school. I had an opportunity along with our superintendent of the School Board members to visit about eight schools. Parents were real grateful that we stuck to the Mask Mandate. Today we had only two incidents, one teacher and one student that did not want to wear a mask. So overall everybody is complying. Parents express how they feel safer and how thankful they were that we chose the lives of their children over following an Executive Order or rules that the governor and the commission of Education Put in place. What do you say to the governor about his desire to punish people like you . Well, i find it very hardhearted. I just dont understand why the governor would want to defund schools in the state of florida. Any dollars that are taken away, he does not have authority to impact us as far as payroll and paychecks, but he can withhold money from our School District that will hurt our kids. I just dont understand any leader that would not understand the importance of education and all the resources that are available for education being provided for that. I just have no i mean, it just blows my mind that we would even be having a suggestion about defunding education in florida. Ms. Osgood, well be staying on the story, were a call a way if you need to tell us about situations that are affecting peoples health. God bless and stay healthy. Thank you, chris. We need to figure out where we are with the backtoschool push. You no know you just joined the Vaccination Push . The pope. Will americans put their faith in the Booster Shot . The wiz is here. What do the numbers tell us about where we are in this country and what are we saying about the questions that matter most . Next. Ess eczema. Talk to your Childs Eczema Specialist about dupixent, a breakthrough eczema treatment. Ill never understand why it is we insist on making ourselves sick. Its been hard enough trying to get vaccine. Half of this country is vaccinated. No state reached that Magic 07 . Now the cdc says we need a third Booster Shot. We just talked to dr. Fauci a little while ago about the confusing messaging. He tried to lay it straight about why we need it. Its still our best chance. Where are we on the numbers . Whos vaccinated . Who isnt . What is the true division . How are we about the booster The Wizard Of Oz in the Covid19 Command sent we are insight. Lets start with the divide in this country. Its not red and blue. Its vaccinated and unvaccinated. Prove it. Look, if you look at the trump states, you look at the biden states this is the Adult Population because those are the people that can actually vote. 56 of adults in the states that trump won in 2020 are fully vaccinated. 66 of the adults in the states Biden Won in 2020 are vak sin atd. You look at the different regions. Northeast, west, midwest, south. A majority of adults in all those regions are vaccinated. So, you know, oftentimes we play up the red versus the blue or the south versus the northeast. The actual shifts between those regions are actually fairly minimal. What we have in each of those regions are people who are fully vaccinated and people who are unvaccinated. And that really is the divide in this country right now. Telling you, that will be the demographic to watch in the mid terms in the next president ial election. Forget about red and blue. Forget about democrat and republican. It failed. Its going to be about people who did the right thing and people who didnt. Youll see. Now, where did the vaccinated with at least one Dose Fall when it comes to whether or not theyll get the booster . Theyre going to get it. Most of them are going to get it. I think that is one of the really good piece of News Athis the particular Point F you look at the folks that have at least got one dose, look at. That 63 of them say, yes, im very likely to get it. Another 24 say, yes, im somewhat likely to get it. Thats 87 in total of the people who already have at least one dose who say that theyre going to get a booster. Just 13 of the vaccinated population say no, im unlikely to get it. So at this point, what i think were going to see as long as the public Health Officials recommend it, which they have, were going to see a lot of adults who have already gone in their first dose. Theyre going to get that second dose if they havent yet and get the booster if theyre fully vaccinated. The concern is kids under 12 not eligible yet. What are we seeing in terms of kids getting vaccinated . So this to me is really interesting. So if you look right now at age 12 to 17, right, those are kids who are at this Point Eligible to be vaccinated. If you look at all the first doses taken, those 12 to 17 just make up 6 of those who have been vaccinated at this point. If you look at those who have taken the first dose in the last two weeks, look at that. Up to 19 . So school is coming on and the kids are going to have to get back in the classroom, what we see is parents are taking the kids to the local pharmacy to get vaccinated and im hopeful that that could help mitigate the spread so we dont have super spreader events in schools. So will getting it fda approved. Okay, we just finished talking to the florida School Board. Right . Instituted a Mask Mandate despite what the governor doesnt want there. The idea of that being a muscular political position, you going to do this Mask Thing . You going to force people . Now youre going to pavement how do people feel about that strong Arm Tactic . One of first things polled. Look at this. Even among republicans do you support State Laws where you withhold funds and Mask Mandates. Look at. That just 30 of republicans support. That just 22 of adults overall. 15 of democrats.
