Can this is a reasonable question to ask. I wonder how you defend that point. Sure, this was raised by a group of doctors in texas, one of the states that is seeing very heavy use of their i. C. U. Beds, about the role of the vaccination should play. It shouldn t be ever the only factor, but it should be one factor because we know that if you re unvaccinated, the chance of severe infection and death is higher, that that is one of the ingredients in making triage decisions. But even when they published this idea of maybe considering vaccination status as one of the factors, there was a lot of blowback, including from other doctors and care givers about what it would do to the doctor/patient relationship if you started having asking patients as they come to the hospital to give them your status as a reason to treat them or not. Fair enough. I mean, listen, the data is clear. Vaccination saves lives, keeps you out of those hospital beds. But the fact is in health care, for instance, you k
We re going to be in real, real trouble. Our kids are going to be in real trouble. In all, 52 people were killed in the northeast. Families drowning and homes, others in cars. And soon the president will speak directly with more officials and residents in the hard hit areas. In new jersey, and in new york, and we re showing you what it looked like just days ago. Today s trip also a critical moment as the president pushes his infrastructure bill. We have team coverage of the president s trip. First athena jones in manville, new jersey where president biden will visit next. What will he see and hear from officials there? reporter: well, the president wants to come and see the damage firsthand. See it for himself. Coming to where we are now, we saw piles and piles of debris from houses lined up. This is the biggest pile we ve seen so far. It s been growing. You can see a couch. There s a door. There are appliances pulled out. The wood from all the walls. The insulation. And that is becaus
After twin bombings at the gates of kabul s international airport. President biden is vowing to continue with evacuations, the question is are troops bracing for more attacks? plus across the country more than 100,000 people are hospitalized with coronavirus. It s the highest number of hospitalizations we have seen since january, before vaccines were widely available to the public. The question is when will we see case numbers go down again? and the supreme court throws out the biden administration s eviction moratorium. The question is what does this mean for millions of americans who are behind in rent? it s way too early for this. Good morning, and welcome to way too early, i m sam stein. This friday, august 27th. We start in afghanistan where 13 u. S. Service members and according to the associated press at least 95 afghans are dead following terror attacks in kabul.

I am totally going to launder my blazer because that s going to be a big day. Yeah. Because that might be what we chat about friday night. I don t think so. Katie benner is the soundtrack to the survival of democracy. We re getting most of our information from her. I m curious about one thing she said to you about the ig report of necessity is methodical and thorough and could take a year. And as you get more information about the fact that this was a plan, this insurrection attempt this coup attempt was a real plan, how do we even translate that? how do we sit around and wait for a year for a inspector general s report about the fact that donald trump was calling up people and saying, flip this election for me? right, exactly. I mean, there s a i appreciate the sort of balance that she s talking about, that when you are talking about people having committed crimes in a political context in this case trying to overthrow the government, keep somebody in power, we don t criminalize polit

I appreciate the balance that she s talking about that when you re talking about people having committed crimes in the political context, in this case overthrowing the government, and keeping somebody in power, we don t criminalized politics. You can commit a crime in a political context, but it has to be approached so much that if you get voted out of office you end up in jail, that has to only happen if you are definitely a crook committing crimes while you are a politician. And so there is a balance that has to be found, but merrick garland has a justice department where all of these former high ranking officials may have participated in very serious crimes, and the justice department has to self police its own officials in a way to fix that fast
