Troop withdrawal is not a failure of intelligence, planning, or execution, and claiming there is no way the u. S. Could have withdrawn out afghanistan falling into chaos. No. I don t think it could have been handled in a way that we re going to go back in hindsight and look.

Look how red it is across the south. I have covered a lot of angles of the covid story this week, every week, really but this week, some of them really hit home, my home. Your home, as well. I ve learned a few things. One, our future in being able to get back to normal and active healthy normal might depend more on anything whether we can get straight to the people and take the politics out of this. Straight to the people. There are some people who don t want to let us do that. And we re going to talk about them. But i also learned that this week there are way too many people unvaccinated for way too many reasons or no real reason at all. Every single one i met.

Let s remember, kids in texas are getting sick. And they are contracting covid. Listen to this dire warning, tonight. It s from an official in dallas county. In dallas, we have zero icu beds left for children. That means, if your child s in a car wreck, if your child has a a heart congenitalheart defect or something, needs an icu bed. Or more than likely, if they have covid and need an icu bed, we don t have one. Your child will wait for another child to die. In america, in 2021? in one of the nation s premiere cities? one sick child needs to die, be
The biden administration is scrambling in the face of this stunningly fast unexpected fall after the u. S. Withdrawal. U. S. At this point now sending some 3,000 troops to help safely evacuate staff from the u. S. Embassy in kabul. That is where cnn s clarissa ward is joining us from this morning. This is, this is something to behold how swiftly this is moving, clarissa. Reporter: it truly is. I don t think anyone could have predicted this in their wild imagination. And the thing that is so striking here on the ground in kabul, brianna, is the deafening silence from the afghan government. We haven t heard any from them anything from them literally as this country is unraveling. You mentioned all these provincial capitals have fallen. Kandahar, the second largest city in the country, a city with huge strategic significance, huge spiritual symbolism for the taliban. That used to be the capital of their islamic emirate, and yet we are not hearing anything from the government about how the
