Thank you kamala oh ive long said we have many obligations as a nation well, i got in trouble years ago for saying, i make no apologies. We have only one truly sacred obligation. To prepare and equip those we send to War And Care for them and their families when they come home and when they dont thats right. So proud of written and signed the pAct Act the most significant laws ever helping veterans and their families exposed to toxic materials like Burn Pits and Agent Orange hours around during the Vietnam War its hard. Nobody was able to prove that Theres Illness was the consequences of Agent Orange and no one was able to prove initially that because they lived in Burn Pits like my son did live next to iraq for a year that is the cause of their illness but because of the pAct Act a surviving spouse to two children is now eligible for a stipend about 3,000 a month those children he lost a parent are eligible for Tuition Benefits to go to college and they get job training its already up
About 20,000 people remain at the chaotic kabul airport. More people keep coming. The evacuations of thousands of people from kabul is going to be hard and painful No Matter when it started, when we began. Theres no way to evacuate this many people without Pain And Loss and heartbreaking images you see on television. Its just a fact. U. S. Defense officials tell cnn the military is establishing alternative groups to kabul because of the threat posed by a selfproclaimed Isis Affiliate called isisk. The threat is real. Its acute. ItS Persistence. Its something that we are focussed on with every tool in our arsenal. Were working hard with our Intention Community to try to isolate and determine where an attack might come from. Were placing Pair Month Priority on stopping or disrupting and well do everything we can for as long as were on the ground to keep that from happening. But were taking it absolutely deadly seriously.

Good morning, and welcome to Way Too Early, the show thats only watched that video over and over and over again. I am Kasie Hunt on this monday, may 24th. We will start with the news. Nationwide the Pandemic Outlook is improving as new coronavirus cases dropped to rates not seen in nearly a year. Death rates are also as low as theyve been since last summer.

Is there more of a risk of exposure with coworkers . There is not more of a risk if there is very little circulating virus, so when i read what they are considering, i thought, they think, they seem to think that it could concentrate somehow in a workplace but if there is very little virus and community, cant actually concentrate. It is physically wont be there. So i think it is, the effectiveness is sort of to stunning for people to sometimes i think accept how amazing they are but cdc is not an unconscious organization.
