The relationship is described 20 years hence from September 11th. The talibans acting prime minister, this man that you see here, who has a 10 Million Fbi Bounty on his head for Terrorist Acts and may be holding an american hostage. According to aljazeera, all the Tens Of Thousands of afghans that helped to start the afghan government and worked with the united states he says, do not leave. Come back if you have left already. He says the Blood Shed is over. Tell that to the protesters that were just fired on and women beaten with the short whip devices because they demonstrated and asked for freedom in the streets of kabul. Joining me now, Trey Yingst where that happy flight just landed. Another one may be on the way. Trey . Martha, good afternoon. Positive news here today in doha. 113 people landing here from afghanistan. They were given permission by the taliban. Were learning more how they got here. According to a source familiar with the situation, the qataris set up a Safety Corridor for these individuals to get to afghanistans biggest airport, the Hamed Karzai International Airport and got on the flight and fly here to doha. Now the individuals are here, theyre going to take Corona Tests and get food. Once processed, theyre free to return to their home countries. The citizens are americans, germans, british and ukrainians. Also today according to the Wall Street Journal, americans stuck in northern afghanistan were told to come to the airport for this flight. But its unclear how many were able to make the journey. Thats why we may see future flights like the one earlier today. Eight flights are conning with the Uae And Pakistan delivering aid to the country. Over half of afghanistan relying on international aid to survive. This is after protests erupted in kabul. Disturbing images and reports out of afghanistan of journalists and women being beat by taliban fighters. We talked about this earlier in the week. Gives you a sense of what these demonstrators and civilians are facing on the ground now that the taliban is in control. Thanks, trey. Joining me now is retired Navy Seal, jason redman. Ten of his 21 years as a Navy Seal were leading Combat Efforts in iraq and afghanistan. He and a group of War Veterans have helped hundreds in Pineapple Express. Hes retired by Commander Dave sears who served in afghanistan and in iraq. Hes highly decorated for his missions in more than 40 countries around the world and the author of smarter, not harder. Great to have you with us. Feels as though over the past 1 1 2 weeks weve been reporting on the fact that theres been this sort of difficult relationship with the groups and the veterans trying to get people out and the White House and the State Department. The State Department was charged with getting the people out. Now it feels like the gears are turning on this. This Is General Jack Keane a short time ago. Watch this. And it looks like the white House And Dod and department of state is going to put together a privatepublic partnership with these veterans groups to access them, put them in a sentra data system, which would be comprehensive. They know where these people are. Martha jason, we pulled all of the united states military out. Groups like yours tried to fill that void. The Pineapple Express is involved in a meeting at the White House. Can you tell us where this stands now . Yeah, absolutely. Thanks for the time. Dave, good to see you again. Yeah, absolutely. Senior members, Lieutenant Colonel Scott Mann was invited to meet with General Milley. Thats what they talked about, this public private partnership and other civilians out there. Were still waiting on the final word. The Bottom Line is Task Force pineapple, we recognize the need to work with our government. Right now were trying to do everything in our power to keep these incredible afghan veterans and our allies safe on a the ground. We need the support of our government. Were looking forward to this public private partnership and looking forward to work with the department of State And Homeland security to make that happen. Martha yeah. What do you think about the fact this is coming together now . The qataris have been very helpful. We heard what they had done to shepherd people from one place to another with protection around them. What do you think about the timing on this . Should it have happened sooner . Yeah, without a doubt. The fact that jason and these guys and lots of others have stood up these organizations in an efforts to help the afghan people and the u. S. Citizens that are there just really is a bitter sweet story. The sweet part is what theyre doing. The bitter part is that this is the role of the u. S. Government. Should take private citizens to step in our veterans to step in. They could offer their help, but the government has the resources to do this. Theyre supposed to protect u. S. Citizens and the globe. So theres an obvious lack of Confidence And Trust in what our government is willing and capable to do right now. Martha No Doubt the military could have done it. The void was filled. Gentleman, we have to leave it there. We have breaking news. Thanks for your service and being here. Attorney general Merrick Garland speaking at the Justice Department. Announcing lawsuit seeking to block enforcement of the texas abortion ban. Lets listen. Thus far, the law has had its intented effect. Abortion providers have ceased providing services, this leaves women in texas unable to exercise their constitutional rights an unable to obtain Judicial Review at the very myment that they need it. This kind of scheme to nullify the Constitution Of The United States, is one that all americans, whatever their politics or party should fear. If it prevails, may be a model of action in other areas by other states and with respect to other constitutional rights and precedence. Nor need to think the damage that would be done to our society if states were allowed to implement any private individual to infringe on anothers constitutionally protected rights in this way. The united states has the authority and the responsibility to ensure that no state can deprive individuals of their constitutional rights through a legislative scheme specifically designed to prevent the vindication of those rights. The united states brings the suit to assert other interests that sb8 unconstitutionally impairs. Among other things, it conflicts with federal law by prohibiting federal agencies from exercises their authorities and carrying out their responsibilities under federal laws relating to abortion services. It subjects federal employees and not governmental partners to implement those laws for civil liabilities and penalties. Those that the statute restricts are the Labor Department Job corps program. The defense departments tricare health program, the bureau of prisons, the centers for Medicare And Medicaid services and the office of personnel management. The complaint seeks a Declaratory Judgment that sb8 is invalid under the Supremacy Clause and the 14th amendment, Preempted By Federal Law and violates the doctrine of intergovernmental immunity. The united states also seeks a permanent and preliminary injunction prohibiting the enforcement of the statute against the state of texas, including the officers, employees and agents and private parties that they have deputized that would bring suit under sb8. The department of justice has a duty to defend the Constitution Of The United States and to uphold the rule of law. Today we fulfill that duty by filing the lawsuit i have just described. Before i take questions, i want to say some words to the american people on the eve of the anniversary of the attacks of September 11th, 2001. That day is seared into all of our memories. Nothing we can do or say can replace the loss so many endured that day. Nothing can change the profound way the events of September 11th altered us individually and collectively as a nation. Let there be No Doubt the threat from terrorists, from foreign terrorists, like those involved in the September 11th attack is one that we must constantly guard against what we can do and what we have done is learn from the past to better anticipate and prepare for the next threat and to seek to disrupt it. As we mark this anniversary, we rededicate ourselves at the Justice Department to doing all we can to protect the american people from terrorism in all its forms, whether originating from aboard or at home. In doing so in a manner that is consistent with our values and the rule of law. With that, im happy to take questions. Attorney general garland, is therere a provision in the Texa Law that you find especially concern something. I think i described all of the provisions that i find especially concerning about the complaint does that in more detail. I wouldnt pick any one. Theres been several gop lawmakers that said that they will follow texas lead. I was wondering if you expect doj to be involved in similar actions against other states. Would it be to say that this could be one of several similar actions . As i said in my remarks, the greatest risk here, the additional and further risk here is that other states will follow similar models with respect not only to this constitutional right but theoretically against any constitutional right and in any other state. So if another state uses the same kind of provisions to deprive its citizens of their constitutional rights and in particular to deprive their citizens of the ability to seek immediate review, we will bring the same kind of lawsuit. Theres been some pressure it seems from democratic lawmakers on The Hill and antiabortion groups and some could argue from the White House on the department of justice to do something about this Texas Law. Did you feel that pressure . Did they play any role in this . The department of justice does not file a lawsuit based on pressure. We evaluated the law and the facts and this expresses our view. Thank you. Thank you all. Martha all right. The attorney general, Merrick Garland taking questions there and laying out the suit that the department of justice is bringing against texas for the bill known as sb8 which limits abortion to prior to the period when a heartbeat is detected. Lets bring in jonathan turley, constitutional attorney. Hes been watching this along with us. Great to have you to respond to this. Essentially this bill means a Woman Cant Exercise her constitutional right. We Cant Stand by for anything that undermines the constitution and also detouched on the empowerment of private individuals in this case to bring suits against individuals that are receiving abortions or involved in abortions. He said you cannot empower private individuals to impinge on the constitutional rights of others. How does this case look to you the way its been laid out . Well, its hard to unpack all of this. Theres aspects of this that are quite breathtaking. Among other things, he challenges the use of private attorney generals as a type of Citizen Lawsuit involved in the texas abortion law. That is a common provision. Its used throughout federal law to allow citizens to enforce aspects of federal law. I brought a number of those lawsuits. So its it will be rather hard to see how you can challenge that as a concept. What really needs to be challenge is the base violation. What hes really objecting to is the previability of the Texas Law that sets it at roughly six weeks or eight weeks, depending who you ask. A Georgia Law was just struck down last year. Most of us expect that the lower courts will strike down this law. Its already being challenged in the federal courts. What is really odd about this is that the department of justice is entering as a party. Usually the department of justice is a friend of the court. Here theyre saying were a party of interest. Any time a State Law threatens constitutional rights, we have skin in the game. This is not how the department of justice has operated in the past. Some courts are going to ask about that. For example, garland said were going to say that this field is partially or wholly preempted. The Supreme Court has always recognized that states have a right to legislate in the area of abortion. The question is where to draw the line, this is a major assertion of federal authority and unprecedented one. The problem with that is he may have just created a new point of challenge for pro life litigants. He could have made the situation worse with this filing. Hes added robust Federalism Issue that is quite novel and a lot of courts are likely to be uncomfortable with this in this degree of federal authority. Martha very interesting. I have to go but one quick question. The interpretation is the statute was written in a novel way that made it sort of understandable that the Supreme Court would uphold it. Can you explain that to Everybody Briefly . Im sorry. You broke up slightly. Martha so there was sort of a novel writing of this bill and that because it was sort of clever was the word was used, the way it was written, you can understand how the Supreme Court would uphold it. Thats right. A lot of people said, including a member of congress, the court had just overturned roe and upheld the Texas Law. This proves it. If the Supreme Court upheld the Texas Law, they wouldnt be challenging it right now. What the court said, you pick two people at random, a State Judge and a clerk. They dont have any Enforcement Role here. Theyre not named in the law. What the court said is you cant ask us to enjoin two people at random as a way of enjoining the law. That was the basis. The court said it was not ruling on the merits. Martha very interesting to watch this. Thanks, jonathan. Great to have you hear. Thank you. Martha Senator Tom Cotton on the break down of those daring to oppose the Talibans Takeover in the streets of kabul. Hes next. Mm. [ clicks tongue ] i dont know. I think they look good, man. Mm, smooth. Uh, they are a little tight. Like, too tight . Might just need to break em in a little bit. You dont want em too loose. For those who were born to ride theres progressive. With 24 7 roadside assistance. Okay. Think im gonna wear these home. Excellent choice. Martha the Senate Armed Services Committee will hold meetings where general austin and General Milley will be questioned before congress against their handling of the afghanistan exit. How many troops did they want, what was their idea of how it should work and the general in charge on the ground there, a person that americans really havent heard much from Is General scottie miller. He will also testify and be asked these questions. And at the same time, this question today, this is life under the taliban despite what theyre saying, theres Taliban Fighters Opening Fire on protesters in kabul. They were shouting freedom. They were brave and beaten for it. We warn you this is graphic. They were also whipped and beaten. This is the scars of what the taliban did to these individuals. So Senator Tom Cotton joins us now. Hes an afghan war veteran. Hes a member of the Armed Services committee. Good to have you with us today. Lets deal with what the taliban is saying and what the taliban is doing. They have said everyone will love life under the taliban as long as you understand that everything will be done under sharia law. This is the greatest oxymoron of all. You can protest as long as we approve of what youre protesting, what youre saying. Yeah, martha. We shouldnt be surprised even though Joe Biden and Tony Blinken have been saying for weeks this is new and improved and moderate and inclusive taliban, that its the same gang of Terrorist Savages that we saw 25 years ago. The Secretary Of State said in europe this week that the taliban cabinet is not meeting the test of inclusivity. That is to put it mildly, martha. The biden administration seems to be more worried that the cabinet in afghanistan is full of men rather than its full of terrorists. Lets consider their histories. The supreme leader, the amir of the taliban is so moderate that he blessed his own son killing himself to go off as a suicide bomber. The minister of interior, probably in charge of the beatings of protesters that youve seen in days was designated by a terrorist released by Barack Obama. All of the Guantanamo Bay detainees that Barack Obama returned for an American Traitor have found their way back to afghanistan and all in senior positions of responsibility in this taliban government. So no, i would say its a little more than a challenging History Contrary to what the Secretary Of State said. Martha let me ask you this, senator. Some of this we heard them say that theyre dealing with the taliban in a moderate wait. They said we recognize the taliban. Thats a long way off was the term that was used. Is this just to get people out . Is all of this nice talk and to play along so that we can get these people out and then the tone will change . Well, if that were the case, martha, you wouldnt have to say some of the praising things the separation has said. You have to refrain from the criticism that the taliban so justly deserves. What troubles me more than what theyre saying is what theyre potentially doing behind closed doors. Things like holding out the off of Diplomatic Recognition or unfreezing billions of dollars in assets that the former afghan government had around or other financial inducements the united states had or financial institutions could offer. Well be probing those very questions. Martha what would be the line of question youd take with General Milley and general austin before i let you go . So with the secretary and the chairman, id like to know what were their recommendations and when did they make those recommendations to the president and how did he react. Lets take a simple case that is a very easy question to answer. Why was bagram closed, what did our military recommend and what did the president do . I find it hard to believe that Secretary Austin and General Milley recommended that we close bagram in response to anything other than an arbitrary and low Troop Cap from Joe Biden in the period of time from when he announced his decision to when he with drew. Those are the questions we want answered. Martha Milley Has said as much, if you read into what he said in terms of how many people they had and being able to guard the embassy or let go of kabul. That is going to be fascinating. Thanks, senator. Great to have you with us today. Thank you. Martha you bet. Senator cotton is also calling for a probe of dr. Anthony fauci for what he calls a chinese Lab Lie in the face of the new documents that have been outed essentially by The Intercept that contradict dr. Faucis denial that his agency funded any dangerous research in wuhan. The Lead Investigator under the pompeo State Department was digging into this a long time ago. He responds to what we just learned. The nih has never ever and does not now Fund Gain of Function Research in the Wuhan Institute. Vice, but the Va Home Loan Benefit is a big one.

Martha a Bomb Shell new report shows a path of 600,000 going to the Wuhan Institute of virology in china for the risky Coronavirus Bat Research that they were doing. This is a proposal for upsing the Bat Coronavirus Emergence from 2014 to 2019 filed with dr. Faucis national institute of allergy and infectious disease. David asher, on the team that was tasked with figuring out where this virus came from and investigating the Wuhan Lab in the Trump Administration joins us with his take. He says this is a big deal. First to Rich Edson at the State Department. Good afternoon, martha. These documents provided detailed look into how an american organization, Eco Health Alliance, used u. S. Government money to fund Coronavirus Research at a lab in wuhan, china. The publication called The Intercept sued the national institutes of health for these documents. Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee say theyve been asking for this information for months and talk a lawsuit from a News Outlet to get it. We learned these risky Research Projects make a Lab Leak applausable theory as to the origins of covid19 and that Eco Health Alliance. Dr. Richard e. Bright says hes reviewed the documents and tells Fox News that they confirm scientists in wuhan created coronaviruses, using a gene from one with genetic information from another that created a virus that could infect human cells. And that the documents make it clear that assertions that the Nih Director and anthony fauci, that the nih did not support gain of Function Research for Pathogen Enhancement at wiv are untruthful. Still, the nih and the White House say that they never approved research that would make viruses more dangerous to humans. A body of science demonstrateses that the work that nih supported were not the strain, covid 2 strain, so what he said was correct. Congressional researchers say theyre still pushing for more information regarding this to figure out what exactly taxpayers were funding through these grants. Back to you. Martha a good question. Thanks very much, Rich Edson. Lets bring in david asher. He led the State Department investigation under Secretary Pompeo, worked with that team to the origins of the virus and that probe was halted and never continued under this White House. Theres revelations in theyre that are a big deal now that these documents have been exposed. What is a big deal that you see in here . Did you know that dr. Li, the Fat Lady that apparently was at the center of creating what we believe to be covid19 itself was on the payroll of the nih for years . I didnt think i department know that we knew we used the funding from the nih through this Health Alliance to contribute to the research but they put a salary for dr. Xi herself and other Line Items under there. So were not only training them but paying them directly part of their salary. So the communist government Operating A top secret classified program from at least 2016 until Secretary Pompeo unveiled in january of this year at the very lab with the very people, they were also being paid at the same time by the chinese people. Its very interesting. Your group revealed that the Chinese Military was also involved in this lab. So you dont have to be a Scientist Or Investigator to say what the heck are u. S. Dollars doing in a chinese lab that is involved with the Chinese Military and the transparency there is zero on what was going on with this. So another question is, we just didnt a 90day investigation, which i know you said was an evaluation. It wasnt close to an investigation. So why did it take The Intercept to find these documents and get them out there when supposedly 90 days of investigation was going on . Where were these then . Theyve been in the Governments Possession the whole time. We told the dni that they should be asking for them. They said they were not intelligence. Like the intelligence between your two ears is not intelligence. These are documents the u. S. Government knew they had in possession and theres more data than this. We knew about these documents. They dont because its not classified intelligence, doesnt matter. Even though it comes up with very specific revelations very quickly. You remember in 2012 was there was these miners that died of a predecessor to covid19 identified in a mine in Southern China in the yunan province. The first death of chineses from a Bat Coronavirus if its true. That effort was run by Eco Health Alliance with Nih Funding as well. Theres no mention of the miners dieing in the report, which is suspicious. Either Eco Health is covering for the chinese, which is a Cover Up as a Cover Up or the miners never died and this is part of an elaborate story to Cover Up this military Program And Suck american dollars to funding it. What that did was creating a coronavirus that could kill humans directly humantohuman and spread and entrapping the united states in our own largesse. Martha amazing that they got money from us to fund this research. Its absolutely stunning, dr. Fauci has a lot of questions to answer. We hope there will be a forum where he can do that under some scrutiny and soon. David asher, we can talk all day. Thanks very much for being here with us today on that. Okay. So our afghanistan coverage continues with a look at how americans see the Biden Exit from afghanistan through the less of the 20th Commemoration Of September the 11th. Coverage Customizer Tool .

This woman in a Gorilla Mask physically attacked and harassed larry elder. The republican says protesters egged him and fired pullet guns at his security team. I dont know how well you can see that on the lefthand side. You can see whats going on here. He was touring a homeless encampment. Claudia cowan live in sausalito, california. Stunning video. Claudia . Yeah, thats right. Things are getting ugly here in the Home Stretch now attacking the republican frontrunner for his conservative views and going so far as invoking his race. Hes a black trump basically. Yeah, hes a terrible person. As far as everything ive heard him say. That woman spoke outside a Newsome Campaign Event yesterday here in the Bay Area where Vice President Kamala Harris warned voters that if elder is elected, he will get rid of progressive policies that protect immigrants, women and minorities. We fight for our country. We fight for the values that we hold dear. We fight for organized labor, we fight for dreamers, we fight for women, we fight for voting rights. While she was talking about fighter, elder was being attacked in Venice Beach where he was touring a homeless encampment. An area where other politicians and Law Enforcement has been confronted by angry residents. Elders staff was assaulted by a group that included a protester wearing a Gorilla Mask. I understand the frustration. Many of them are mentally ill. Trained and taught that anybody that is black and has an r at The End of their name is a villain. That what theyve done, divided the country. Barack obama and other big democrats are lending their support to newsomes campaign. Monday election eve, newsome will have his final Campaign Rally with president biden. Martha and the nations second largest School District is required to have students get the covid19 vaccine. Board members on the district set to pass the measure two hours from now which could have a snow ball effect. Lets bring in dr. Marty makary from John Hopkins and a Fox News medical contributor. Good to see you. You think this makes good sense . Martha, i believe in Child Vaccinations and i believe in the Covid Vaccine for young children. But the current dose is too high and the interval is too short. It never made sense that we give the same dose to a heavy 50yearold Man that we give to a thin 12yearold girl. Were seeing high rates of Heart Inflammation clustered around the second does, not the first dote. The first does is 100 effective of kids 1215. Thats the dose that i recommend now until we get better data. And the Fda Martha Everybody needs to pay attention to what youre saying here. The same dose is looked at being given to little kids and as you put it, a large 50yearold Man. Do we have new studies before we impose this on anyone on kids under 18 and everybody should be vaccinated, get your vaccines to go to school, mmr, polio. But we need the right dose what are we doing to find out what the right dose is before we map date them . I think the fda did rush the indication of approve value with the Emergency Use Authorization for kids. They did not convene their technical experts. The external group of advisers were never convened for the child indication, the 1215 indication. The first dose is so effective. Thats the dose that makes sense for kids that dont have natural immunity. Thats the other problem. It discounts the kids that have immunity from circulating antibodies from prior covid infection. Martha you think people that have had covid already also might may fall into we dont have the studies done may fall into that category that One Shot is the best dosage for them . Its appearing that One Shot has good immune protection and we know that with some immunization, you get a ten fold reduction in hospitalization. We have outbreaks around the country. But when we tell those already with immunity to get immunized, makes no sense. Martha thanks, doctor. These are important things to focus on and we have to have Cdc And Fda studies. Thats why theres a Childrens Medicine Aisle at the drugstore because the dosage is different. Thanks, doctor. Thank you. Martha how americans view the Biden Exit from afghanistan through the lens of the 20th commemoration of September 11th. How does this shake out in the minds and hearts of americans. Thats next.

Martha 20 years ago, Dan Henninger watched close range at the Trade Center fell. I looked at the sky. When i turned my head down, i said that plane is too low. I looked back up and i saw a gash in the side of the world Trade Center. Martha unbelievable. Dan henninger, Wall Street Journal editor. Good to have you with us today. Good to be with you. Martha your colleagues say that you were able to write about what you saw the next morning. Yes. We hardly knew what to do with ourselves if we were there at the time. But everyone had to figure out some way to get through the day. Martha, we are were and are journalists. The Wall Street Journal found a way to publish the newspaper. Everyone that could went down to our offices in princeston, new jersey. Our technicians wired up about 100 computers in hours, connected it to the Publishing Network and writers that were distributed all over new york city, some in brooklyn, some on the upper west side. Im in my Colleagues Apartment on the lower east side. I just sat down and wrote a firsthand account of what i had seen. All the others at the journal were doing the same thing and we delivered a newspaper to our readers the next day. In hindsight, it was something of a miracle. Because the whole day seems like a horror in retrospect. Martha and you won a Pulitzer Price for the covering of what happened that day. Im sure you remember a day that weve been working on, remembering on our team here at the story. I want to play a piece of what happened when President Bush went to Ground Zero. Watch this. The crushed Fire Truck and fading Bull Horn would be the president s makeshift president. I said they want to hear from the president. I asked the president , would you be willing to say something . He said do you think its appropriate . I say if you think its appropriate, its appropriate. Just be you. Be yourself. He said okay. I went, took a Secret Service agent. Can the president stand on this thing . The lead secret Service Guy is going nuts. Hes like were not doing this. Hes making sure the president doesnt get visible. He doesnt want him highlighted up there. Not know we he had been asked to stand the strength of the truck, he stayed put. I didnt know who Karl Rove is. He said something is coming over here. When they come over, you help them up and get down. I said okay. Beck worth wasnting attention. I saw the president coming around. He comes in front of me. He puts his arm up. Oh, my god. I pulled him up. I turned him around. I said are you okay, mr. President . He said yeah. He said where are you going . He say i was told to get down. He said you stay right here. When you felt him pull his arm and you, said no, youre going to stay up here with me while i talk, what did you think . I looked up at the sky. I said look at me, ma, im with the president. Martha so many thought go through when i think about that day. I want people to understand, the country had been attacked in three different places. They had the president walking through the crowd. Everybody felt there was another attack coming and could be anywhere at any time, right . Absolutely. We all felt that way. The scale of these events were outside human understanding, the death, the two in the trade towers, one in the pentagon. What George Bush did then is what the country needs at a time like that, which is leadership. He stepped in and did what you expect from the president of the united states. He did it in a comfortable and secure way. He seemed secure, which had to be overwhelmingly difficult, standing down there at Ground Zero amid the rubble, the death, the odor. Many of us down there that day didnt return for weeks and months. President bush did what the nation needed at that moment, was to come and reassure that we would be protected and that the government would do what was needed. It was a very, very important thing that he did three days after the event. It sure was. The scars from the people down there continue. The things that they say what they worked there.
