Americans he says are not vaccinated to get the shot. The president says he is frustrated with those people. Wearing thin that day are hurting the nation overall. He says the issue is not about freedom or personal choice. Increase testing and wearing of masks. Country in a tough stretch and it could last a while.

The obvious and expressly acknowledge the intention of this statutory scheme is to prevent women from exercising their constitutional Rights.

A commercial airliner with dozens of foreigners, including americans, left the Kabul Airport this morning. It is the first large Scale Evacuation Flight since the u. S. Completed its withdrawal from afghanistan late last month. Senior foreign Affairs Correspondent Greg palkot starts us off from london. A warning here it does contain images you may find disturbing. Good evening, bret. The latest figures we are getting 11 people were on board that flight. U. S. Citizens, u. S. Permanent residents, other western passport holders, released and concerned all around. They are flying in at Kabul Airport the first international Passenger Flight since the exit of u. S. Troops with americans and others on board. The taliban sound proud. God willing, this airport will be ready for normal flights soon. Also u. S. Officials the evacuation of americans stole with 100 still left in the country. What has been a bloodthirsty militant group. We had to work with some members of the taliban to press them and to work in a businesslike manner to get them out. The taliban not so businesslike in the northern afghan city of mazaresharif where militants are blocked charter flights 11 Million people stranded. Visa holder is returned to returning to Kabul Airport where he has been rejected and abused by the taliban. Of the situation that if these flights are not allowed to take off, then i have to Travel To Kabul by road or by land, which means that once again i will take my hand and my head my head in my hand and kill the taliban kill me or let me ogo. This as the taliban show what theyre really about women at a protest beaten. Journalists showing scars of beating as the group consolidates fear of control fears taliban Safe Haven for u. S. Groups. The u. S. In taliban we trust. I think the whole community is kind of watching to see what happens alqaeda has the ability to regenerate in afghanistan. You know, we put the taliban on notice that we expect for them to not allow that to happen. And as the 20th Anniversary of 9 11 approaches, those arriving in doha seem grateful to be away from a newly threatening land. Another flight is set for tomorrow with 200 scheduled to be on board. The latest count from one organization concerning itself with evacuees at least 80,000 at risk remain in afghanistan and the clock is ticking. Bret Greg Palkot in london. We are going indepth about the Coronavirus Pandemic. We are featuring your questions around the country. With us Education Secretary MiguelCardona And Surgeon general dr. Vivek murty. We welcome them into our studio. Our first live guests actually in our studio since the pandemic shut down. Thank you for being here. School is starting. Its already started in a lot of places, mr. Secretary. The president said the key to all of this is getting parents and kids who can get vaccinated vaccinated. Thats the key . Yes. And were pleased across the country, 50 Million students are coming back to school many of these students havent been in school for over year the goal is to do everything they can to make sure they are going in safely to make sure they dont have another interrupted year like last year. Bret we have this chart from the american academy of pediatrics, dr. Murty, the number of Child Covid cases you see on the screen there. Really shooting up in recent weeks. Why is that . Is it delta specific and what can be done about this if you have got a young kid . Well, bret, this is the really important question. You and i are both parents and i have kids under 12. They are not eligible yet to be vaccinated. When you see numbers like that i can understand for parents why it would be concerning. Here is why it is happening, we have this new variant, the Delta Variant, which has been causing the summer surge. And it is more contagious than any other variant than we have dealt with when it comes to covid19. Thats leading more of our kids to be infected. We have seen the rates of infection among kids under 4 increase markedly, you know, in the last month and a half. We have seen among teenagers who are eligible to be vaccinated that those that are not vaccinated are 10 times more likely to be hospitalized than those who are vaccinated. A combination of how contagious delta is with the fact that we have a lot of kids not yet vaccinated and protected. Bret which protects you more if you have had covid already or the vaccine . It seems like if you have covid already is not factored in a lot into the equation. Is that fair . Yes, this is a really important question. So, we know is that there are two ways that you can get protection. The vaccine is the one that has been studied the most and most reliable one. Weigh know that when you get infection, you can get some degree of protection. What were less clear about is how long that protection lasts. But heres what the research has told us very clearly. If you get infected, and then you get a dose of vaccine, you boost your antibody levels, your protection up to incredible levels so you are even more protected. If you compare pierre people who have had previous infection and those who got the vaccine and those who didnt, what you find is that those who are not vaccinated after their Fin Infection are more than twice as likely to get a reinfection with covid compared to knows who got the vaccine. Bret mr. Secretary, there is a lot of parents this week walking on egg shells because they are waiting for this notification of the first case in the school and a lot of them have concerns about what happens if their kid comes in contact. Here is one mother, heather you, from New York talking about what happens, the contingency. My one concern is there is no remote option, so, if they do get test positive, because or they have to quarantine because they have been exposed, they dont really have a 10day at Home Option at all except pamphlets or packets. Im worried they are going to fall behind for those 10 days. Even if they are not positive they have to stay home. Thats my only really big concern is filling in the gap. Bret the remote option and all Schools Deal with that. What were finding this year is this Hybrid Model that we used last year is not being used throughout the country, which is good. We have all students in and what were finding is when Mitigation Strategies are being used, we are not seeing major quarantines. So, what districts are doing iS Preparing for students to be in the classroom but also ensuring that if they do have to quarantine, there are materials available. I know that across the country, districtS Planned on having in Person Learning and they are prepared to keep students in the classroom as much aS Possible to make sure they get access to in Person Learning. Bret have there been studies about mental how the wearing the masks and how this has all affected kids as far as, you know, do they lose a year in education thiS Past year is. There was a lot of missed instruction. I think also, bret, what i have heard from students in my visits to different states and from my own two children, they miss their friends. They miss being with their teachers. So that social interaction that access to extracurricular activities, they have missed that so what were find something they want to be in the classroom. And for many students, including my own children, they dont like wearing the masks, but they know that if thats their ticket to having in Person Learning they are going to do it. Bret go back to the top and concerns about vaccines, especially kids. Two mothers here kai and destiny. They have young kids. And they are concerned about the vaccine and what it means for little kids. Take a listen. My daughter will be 1 next friday. Im curious to know how the vaccination will be safe for the young kids . I feel like with kids they are not fully developed yet to be able to take all these different vaccines. Why do we have to take the vaccine . Bret doctor . First, i want to say to Kia And Destiny these are good questions to be asked. We have a lot of experience giving vaccines to kids, Right . We have seen that vaccines have been really effective at protecting our kids from measles, from mumps, from rubella, from pertussis and other illnesses. Before a vaccine is made available like Kais And Destiny and mine who are under 12. The fda needs to look at the data from the clinical trials and make sure not only are they effective but that they are safe. Thats the only condition under which the fda would say now its okay for your child to have the vaccine. Thats why that approval is so important. That authorization, its really the Gold Standard for safety. Bret, if i could say one other thing, you know, im thinking about the questions that are being asked tonight, the concerns about remote learning, concerns about the Mental Health Impacts on our children. This is why it is so important that we take the Safety Precautions needed to prevent the spread of infection in our schools. And keep our kids in schools. The good news is we know how to do that. Its a combination of good ventilation, masks, frequent testing, keeping kids home when they are sick as opposed to letting them come to school. But my worry is that we are not doing this in enough parts of our country. If we do that though, we can keep our kids in school and keep them safe. Bret a lookout of parents have a lot of concerns about the safety and know how to keep their kids safe. Go forward to joseph from flower town, pennsylvania and he has a very specific question how he dealt with chickenpox in the past. I wanted to know whether or not it made sense to allow our children to be exposed to covid because the possibility of them dying because of it is so minimal perhaps we can expose them to covid and give them a natural immunity when somebody got chickenpox, we would take the kids over to the house to be exposed to chickenpox so as to get it and im just kind of curious about whether or not that would make sense. Thank you. Bret dr. Murthy . Its a reasonable question to ask. Heres what we know. Even though kids do better than older adults whether it comes to that comes to covid19, covid is not harmless in our children. Over thiS Past year and a half, we have lost hundreds of children to covid19. We have had thousands hospitalized. We had one of our highest level of Covid Hospitalizations among kids Right now we also know that long covid which is that syndrome where kids can experience shortness of Breath And Fatigue and other symptoms for months after their infection that that effect does not significant number of children. The significant things for us to weigh risks and benefits here. When we do that we see that getting vaccinated is actually a much Lower Risk and higher Benefit Proposition than allowing our kids to get covid and run the risk of having complications. Bret just quickly, the complications from the vaccine have been minimal. You have talked about that. But there have been some. Some heart issues, what other things . Yeah, great Question E so what they have seen in with the mrna vaccines in particular, this is the Moderna And Pfizer vaccine, that there are rare Side Effects of what is called Myocarditis Inflammation of the Heart Muscle that might sound worrisome. Good news these cases are typically mild and these cases usually resolve without much treatment. Kids do fine. Whats interesting, bret, when you look at kids who get covid, their risk of having myocarditis is markedly higher than kids who get the vaccine plus a long list of other complications from the virus. Bret talking about the virus here. Do we have to worry about this Must Variant . So the mu variant. We are seeing very little mute in the country Right now. The Delta Variant is b dominant, 99 of what we are dealing woman of achievement where we have to keep our focus. Bret mr. Secretary, a lot of parents think its matter of time before the schools lock down again before kicked out. Here is two mothers, Jazmine And Stacey talking about that. Im totally worried there is more lockdowns to come. Im not worried about it i anticipate it. Lock down schools taking away the Mental Health issues of children and their families both short and longterm effects . Bret mr. Secretary, obviously we are doing with a situation where schools are opening but they are worried. They are worried. I agree with those parents. Im one of those parents. I dont want another year of disrupted learning. Our students have suffered enough. They need to be in the classroom. And they need to have uninterrupted learning. Thats why we are very supportive of all including mask wearing to be around kids in the classroom so they can stay in school. Not only mental impact on students, lessens their ability to participate in sports or theater but also impact the parents who now have to stay home when their children are home. I think everyone across the country agrees, we need to keep our children in school and do it safely. Bret how much do the teachers unions impact policies in the administration specifically but overall for the schools here . Obviously critics on Capitol Hill say they dominate on the inside. I will tell you, i have been various states and there is no teacher that i have talked to who said they didnt want to be in the classroom. They just want to be there safely. If anything, i have seen loot of efforts on both teachers, principals, superintendent groups, supporting safe reopening of schools. And really getting on message to say our kids belong in the classroom and our teachers belong in the classroom. So, its been really supportive to be quite frank. And i think, you know, thats an example of what we see from our educator for the last year and a half. They bent over backwards. They want to be in the classroom and thats where they know children learn best. Bret i want to do something else about the about the concerns. Fertility, thats a question that comes up a lot. Whether the vaccine effects fertility. And the bottom line is there is absolutely no evidence that the vaccine has an impact on your fertility, whether you are a man or woman. I have certainly seen that circulating on social media. A lot of people, you know, bought into that because they dont know. Maybe seems like reputable source. We have seen many people actually get pregnant after they get the vaccine. Many people gotten the vaccine during pregnancy and done very well. Bret one question before we take a break here. Thats back to marcia, she is from chelsea, michigan. And she is a farmer, and an accountant. She is concerned particularly about taking vaccines. What do the people like me that are allergic onto the vaccines do. We are part of the problem but yet we are allergic to many of the ingredients in the vaccine . Bret especially if there is some sort of mandate thats around, you know, the president talked about today . She is obviously not a federal worker, but may factor into that . Sure, well, this is a really important question, because, Number One, if you have got a medical condition which prevents from you taking one of the vaccines like you have an allergy to one of the components of the vaccine its rare and unusual. Its an important condition. Something you should talk to your doctor about. Some people who are allergic to the components of one vaccine can get one of the other vaccines. We are fortunate to have three vaccines available in the united states. Its importanttoimportant to note with requirementS Put in place there are medical exceptions to put into it if you truly have a condition where you cannot receive a vaccine, that will actually allow you to be except from the requirement. Bret okay, gentlemen, Stand By if you would. When we come back with our guest, a really good Viewer Question about masks. Since we are not tested positive, then why should we have to wear a mask . Whats so great about him . He doesnt have a workspace. The Chevy Silverado with the available multiflex tailgate. Find new adventures. Find new roads. Chevrolet.

Only pay for what you need. Liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty. Bret welcome back to our expanded Coronavirus Pandemic coverage. We are talking tonight with the secretary of Education And Surgeon general. And we are taking your questions as well. Before we get there, you know, we talked a little bit about the possibility of someone in school, mr. Secretary, coming in contact with somebody and then they have got to go quarantine for 10 days. Thats a lot of missed school and a lot of parents saying what happens next . Thats a significant disruption. And we want to limit that and, you know, we have the experience. We have done this before. Second year Reopening Schools and we know that a combination of strategies that includes testing protocols. That includes making sure that were doing contact tracing, to limit the number of students that come in contact and make sure when students arent feeling well they stay home to keep children in schools. We have a strategy making sure we are using them. Bret Mental Health issues you talked about before. You know, we talked a lot about what students lost academically or what they missed academically. But, i think when talking to students, teachers, and parents, that emotional piece that sense of communities studentS Provide they miss that. They miss being around their pier and miss engaging with teachers in person. We have to keep them in the classroom. Bret it is different though whether you have to wear masks. I mean, it just is. And its harder for these kids. Some of them really hate it. And these parents are not happy about it either. Here is carrie and don with questions. Are there any studies that show the effectiveness of a mask for children in schools . And when i say a mask, i mean the typical type of mask that a kid would wear, a cloth mask, one of these cheap surgical masks . Are they really effective . Hello, i would like to know what is the science behind wearing masks to prevent the virus from spreading because everything that i have ever seen in researching it is that the masks dont really do that wrote brett dr. Murthy . Here is what people should know about masks there is no single intervention that prevents the spread of covid19. Masks do work to reduce the likelihood of spread. The time when they work best is when everyone is wearing masks. The person worried about getting infected and the person who may be infected. In our schools, that is true as well. Recent study from the cdc that showed when a teacher was actually infected and not wearing a mask, that that teacher, in fact, infected half of the class. So we see across the country when masks are being worn, the incidents of spread of covid19, masks do work. There are differences in Masks Quality of masks, the better the fit. The more effective its going it be for your child. I want to put an Exclamation Point on that if i could. What we are seeing across the country in realtime in places where Mitigation Strategies are not taken as seriously, there is more School Disruption and there are higher number of students in Emergency Rooms so they do work. Bret okay, well, here is carla, she is a grandmother. Take a listen. Fidgety in school. They are not going to keep it in their. Even aconsults do that I Cant even blame it on the kids. Bret kids are kids. They are going to pull it down. They are going to pull it off. You cant [inaudible] not Everybody Wear as mask properly all the time. Its not the easiest thing to do. Here is what was interesting about this. Number one, kids are remarkably resilient. I have been really struck by how many kids in school have been able to wear a mask and get used to it. I have seen it in my own children as well. Here is the other really important point. We focus on masks and masks of one of several Layers Precaution we need to take in our school. The more of we do the safer. Layers include masking and regular testing, using funds to improve ventilation in our schools. These are part of the package that we need to put in place. Like Secretary Cardona was saying, we are now clearly seeing where those measures were put in place, kids and schools do better. Fewer disruptions in the class. Where theyre not being taken either because they are being blocked by local or state officials or for other reasons, our kids dont do as well. Our Number One goal should be to keep our kids safe, however we can. Bret i dont think you have weighed in on this, and its not your focus now. But, do you believe that covid began with a Lab Leak if the u. S. Government comes out with this report, the Intel Report and its inconclusive . Should we, as a country, and Capitol Hill in particular, going down this road to investigate it. Well, bret, i think its very important that we understand how this all started, though a Lab Leak theory is one possible theory. And we have got to understand how this happened so we can better anticipate, you know, future events and prevent the pandemic from happening in the future. My belief is that Science And Fact have to guide us whether we are investigating these kind of issues and trying to prevent future pandemics. And its the responsibility of every country to be transparent and open so that we can get a handle on this. And unless we get that transparency, we get the information so we can formulate a reasonable conclusion, we shouldnt stop. Bret new documents out have been analyzed saying that the nih did fund some of this gain of Function Research but its not called that so, are you positive that the nih was not funding some of this stuff that altered that virus . Maybe not this one but a virus. What i can tell you is folks i have worked with at the nih over the years their goal has been singular to make sure we have done everything we can understand to disease, prevent it and get well. That is fundamental function. Thats what their goal is what they do. All of us in government now are united in wanting to understand where thiS Pandemic started and how it started. Its not just a responsibility of the united states. This is this must be a global responsibility and every country should be pushing for to get the Right answers. To say once we do get answers along the way, we have got to work together to make sure we are putting systems in place to identify these kind of viruses when they first crop up and then contain them quick who i have we dont see the kind of global pandemic that were dealing are Right now. Bret we appreciate the time here. Mr. Secretary, i want to end with this. You know, the president s critics up on Capitol Hill say that he talks tougher about Unvaccinated Americans than he does about the taliban. And there are people in the country who have problems for one reason or another about taking the vaccine. So, one of the reasons we wanted to do this expanded was to answer questions and concerns. But you hear that about, i know, how the president talks about it. How should we look at this . Well, thanks for having me here. And were at a point in our country where we need to make sure were protecting all americans and i appreciate the bold action of the president to make sure we are doing everything in our power to protect americans. We have the tools. We have the technology. And we have the urgency. So, for me, this is more about making sure that we are doing everything we can to protect all citizens and making sure that our students have an opportunity to learn in the classroom and be with their peers. They have been disrupted enough. They have suffered enough. Its time to move our country forward. I would also say that, look, i think so many times back to my conversations with patients. You know, as a Doctor Sitting in that exam room. Sitting in the hospital, trying to make tough decisions with them. And Everyones Life is different. Everyone has different consideration. Some people may have had a bad experience with the Healthcare System be suspicious about vaccines. Somebody else may have heard misinformation online. We have got to approach each person, you know, as an individual recognizing that everyone is the same. And what has worried me is that in this debate just around not vaccines but masks get through the pandemic. Its become angry and polarized. People have turned on Each Other. This is a time i think its so posh for us to approach Each Other with Respect And Compassion and recognizing we all want the same thing which is to be safe and keep our families safe. And if we can help Each Other and support Each Other in that Process And Search for accurate information, help Each Other in our Decision Making i think we can do better. I just spoke yesterday to a moan who has been looking to answers for six months about the vaccine. Trying to make a decision for himself. We had a really thoughtful conversation. And in The End he made his decision. Is he actually going to take the vaccine. Either way, we have got to have more conversations like that and approach people with respect. Thats how we are going to get this done. Its something frankly in my private conversation with the president as well. He recognizes this. He sort of said, you know, we have to treat people with Dignity And Respect and meet them where theyre. Thats one of the reasons why in the Pandemic Response you have seen we tried to rule outside as many avenues of reaching people aS Possible local influence errors and doctors trying to get mobile yiewnts to them get vaccines on schedule. Got keep beating people where theyre and thats how we are get through it. Bret the reason for this conversation here. Dr. Mutallaby and secretary cardonena, thank you very much for the time. Thank you. Take care,. Bret bret what todays evacuation looks like and what does and does not mean perhaps for the president. In order to get those people out, we had to work with some members of the taliban. This diplomacy that the White House talks, about the negotiations they are talking about, its about money. Thats what they want. Highway miles with 5g than the other guys. Tmobile. Americas largest, fastest, most reliable 5g network. I wonder how the firms doing without its fearless leader. You sure you want to leave that all behind . Yeah. Stay restless with the rx crafted by lexus. Experience amazing at your lexus dealer. Retirement income is complicated.

A modern approach to wealth management. There are hostages Right now. Now that a single flight of some americans on board has left afghanistan, the White House argues this is just how they drew it up. We promised we would get american citizens out. We promised we would get legal Permanent Residents out. We promised we would get our afghan partners out and promised we would get the taliban to get them out thats exactly what they did. The u. S. Has nobody left on the ground giving taliban flexibility to fail government filled with wanted terrorists in guantanamo bay. A lot of governments want the best and bRightest in their cabinet. Its clear to me the taliban wants the most wanted in their cabinet. Taliban hadnt been letting americans get to the airport in kabul or leave the airport in Masri Shareef but now with one flight in the air the White House haS Praise for the taliban quote they have shown flexibility and they have within businesslike and professional in our dealings with them in this effort. This is a positive first step. They you are saying taliban Business Like and professional the Interior Minister has a 10milliondollar pointy on his head. We are here to celebrate the return of american citizens to wanted to leave afghanistan of legal Permanent Residents of afghan to why our side to qatar successful airlines flight. With that a tip of the cap to the taliban unlike the very harsh rhetoric used by the president this evening to describe americans who have not been vaccinated. He spoke more than 20 minutes, did not take any questions, did not mention afghanistan. Bret . Bret Peter Doocy Lyon the north lawn. Peter, thanks. Stocks were down today. The dow lost 152.

Bret todays Evacuation Flight from afghanistan is not stopping congressional republicans from putting extreme pressure on president biden over his handling of the withdrawal and the collapse of the government there in afghanistan. Congressional Correspondent Aishah Hasnie has that part of the story from Capitol Hill tonight. In the latest Republican Push for answers over afghanistan, Congresswoman Yvette Herrell of mexico spearheading a letter to biden questioning the evacuation of. Signed by more than 40 members of congress some whose districts hold military Bases Housing refugees. The letter reads we write concern about the rush and complete vetting of evacuees. Adding that the department of Homeland Security commits it does minimal checks outside of the united states and does not have access to many nations criminal background check system,. How are we going to vet People Process that normally takes 14 months in just a matter of a few short weeks . Congressman Mark Green of tennessee is raising more questions, claiming he has learned evacuee at a virginia military base have, quote free reign of the campus. They can catch an uber and actually leave the base. They dont know exactly how many are even there. Answers have been hard to find. The administration ignored a deadline to respond to 26 republicans asking for the exact number of people who still need to be evacuated from afghanistan. At the same time, advocates for evacuees are urging congress to quickly pass legislation to give them a path to obtaining permanent status. But there iS Pushback on that. Are we going to pay 160,000, allow people to essentially get into our Welfare System and be Permanent Residents if, in fact, they simply were able to push their way through the gates . There will clearly be people who not only did nothing for us but who, in fact, are not appropriate to come here. And, bret, republicans will have a chance to ask their questions directly to Secretary Of State antony blinken. He is set to testify. At least twice next week. Bret . Bret Aishah Hasnie live on Capitol Hill. Thanks. Lets bring in our Panel Bill Mcgurn columnist for the wall street journal. Are Byron York political correspondent for the Washington Examiner and Charles LaneOpinion Writer for the washington post. I want to play this soundbite, jen psaki, when talking about the taliban today. The taliban was cooperative in fill facilitating the departure of these american citizens and legal Permanent Residents from h. Could i a we promised we would press the taliban to get them out and thats what we did. As i said additional such steps will be similarly greeted not only from the united states but by the international community. These people arent guests of the amir, theyre hostages Right. Now the price for getting our people out is going to be thousands of dollars to the taliban and international recognition. Thats what i fear is coming next. Bret it was the national Security Council though, bill, that put out this statement that raised a lot of eyebrows on Capitol Hill it says the taliban have been cooperative in facilitating the departure of american citizens and lawful Permanent Residents on charter flights from h. Could i a they have shown flexibility and they have been Business Like and professional in our dealings with them in this effort. This is a positive first step. Your thoughts on this. I. Easy when you read that to forget their real partners were alqaeda and that they are, by letting Alqaeda Stay in their homeland, they helped facilitate the attack on us on 9 11 20 years ago this coming saturday. Look, i dont have a problem with dealing with them. They are in charge. You have to deal with them. But i have a problem that we would have had a stronger hand if we left our troops there. Now we are just dependent on their goodwill. And whether a im wondering is what we have given away already, whether its a promise of recognition and so forth. I would rather we have a lot more options and Joe Biden reduced all his options by precipitous with trawl of all the troops. So now he better hopes the taliban cooperates because thats all we have got. Bret chuck, we dont know the number of americans on that flight, flew to qatar to doha. And we assume its some number. And we dont know how many americans are left. We havent heard that from the administration. Yet that was a success today, getting those people out. Yes, i have read unconfirmed three dozen measureS PluS Passport holders from a lot of other western countries. Certainly this does feed the impression that the taliban sees it in their interest to kind of Play Ball with these countries until their basic citizens are out. Query whether or not they are going to have that same attitude about The Endangered afghans who have been left behind, but, surely, these words, Business Like. Maybe there is not money changing hands yet. But, in the future, if the united states and others try to get tough on the taliban, they can point to those statements and say you used to think we were professional and Business Like. Bret yeah, byron . This weird thing about this episode is that the entire u. S. Government, the biden administration seems kind of needy in all of this. I mean, and we do need the help of the taliban, so, were so happy that they have allowed Qatar Plane to leave now. On the other question, of who is coming out, the two big questions have always been about the air lift, who did we leave behind who did we leave mind and who did we bring out . The biden administration has been incredibly secretive not just with the public but with members of congress, too. Bret all Right, panel, Stand By.

Bret breaking tonight, just minutes ago the Los Angeles CountySchool Districts the officials there vird Vaccinations Forager 12 and older. L. A. County the second largest School District in the nation the kids will have to get vaccinated some before october. Others before november. This as the president was talking about mandates in the White House today. Vaccine be mandatory . No, i dont think it should be mandatory. I wouldnt demand it to be mandatory. I would do everything in my power aS President of the united States Tone Courage people to do the Right thing. This is not about freedom or personal choice. Its about protecting yourself and those around you. The Department Of Labor is developing an Emergency Rule to require all employers with 100 or more employees that together employ over 80 Million workers to ensure their workforces are fully vaccinated. Bret the president has warmed up to mandates. We are back with the panel. Chuck, first the federal, anybody working for the federal government or contractors, thats one aspect of this. And the other part was what he talked about there through osha at the Labor Department with a rule. The question is whether this is legally going to be challenged or how it sits. You know, if i had to put the title on this speech it would have been no more mr. Nice guy. The persuasive effort is now over. And the targeting, verbally at least, of a distinct minority of people who are not vaccinated is underway. There will be legal challenges to this, im sure. But i think the president is banking on the fact that so far most people are vaccinated and, therefore, wont be affected by this. And secondly, many people do support these mandates.
