Thinks he is the best candidate to defeat donald trump. The bottom line here is that we re not going anywhere. I am not going anywhere. I wouldn t be running if i didn t absolutely believe that i am the best candidate to beat donald trump in 2024. He s just a liar, and he hasn t done a damn thing since the debate. He s been riding around the golf cart at maralago talking with his wealthy friends. You know me well enough to know this, i ran because i never bought on to the trickle down economic theory. I never bought into the notion that we have to walk away from the rest of the world in a cave to putin or anybody else. I ve never believed any of, that and i m confident that s who the american people are. By the way, this morning the president also sent a twopage letter to his democratic allies writing among other things, quote, the question of how to move forward has been wellaired for over a week now and it is time for it to end.

Around the world. We have reports this morning from louisiana, pakistan, california, and the white house as only early start can. And we begin with the big breaking news overnight, millions of women across the state of texas will wake up this morning to a near total ban on abortion. As of this very moment, as soon as your doctor find as fetal heartbeat, you cannot get an abortion in texas. There is no exception for rape or incest. And if your doctor goes ahead with it anyway, he or she risks getting sued in court for up to $10,000, not by the government, but by anyone who simply doesn t like it. And it is not just the doctor who is on the hook in court. It is the clinic staff, even the lyft driver who takes you to the clinic. He or she could be sued. This is all happening because the u. S. Supreme court failed to rule on an emergency request to block the law before it went into effect late last night. The justices may still put it on hold, but for now, abortion even as early as six wee
Encouraged to get an additional dose far beyond those who are recommended now, those are people with compromised immune systems. But there are immediate questions and concerns. The world health organization telling cnn this morning it is critical that everyone around the world get their first and second doses before booster shots are recommended for the fully vaccinated. And that s key. Also this. After a day of chaos and desperation across afghanistan, pentagon press secretary john kirby tells cnn this morning the united states will do everything it can in the coming weeks to help afghans who worked with the u. S. To safely leave the country. Listen. After we ve done the force flow in, all the troops are in, and then we can just keep running military aircraft in and out, just on the military craft alone, we believe we can get between 5 and 9,000 people out per day. We ll have much more on that, of course, in a moment. But let s begin this hour on that news on covid and boosters with o
Gupta. Good morning to you. That there is going to be a lot of people, myself included, fully vaccinated and questioning why do we need a third booster shot. You could explain it to everyone? well i think you re asking a very fair question. Especially given that just a couple of weeks ago the message seemed to be you re not going to need booster shots this will probably just be for people with weakened immune systems that couldn t generate the proper immune response initially. It is a very fair question. And i will preface this by saying the mass majority of severe disease is still occurring among half of the country that is not vaccinated. So people that are vaccinated, they have really good protection. Let me show you what is driving this data that we re seeing here. This was basically looking at vaccine effectiveness against any kind of infection. Breakthrough infections and just getting surveillance screening, they did see waning of the vic effectiveness overall. But that is not re
