Same routines. But what would work look like if we started from scratch and reimagined it entirely? i ll ask the former usa today editor in chief, joanne lipman. Can we reinvent the workforce in a way that makes much more sense for today. Similarly, if we could redesign the campus and the classroom, what would we end up with and what is the future of schooling? i ll talk to former education secretary, arne duncan. The vast majority of students want to be around their friends, want to be with the teacher, need those human relationships, need that human contact, and the fact we ve denied them that for so long is extraordinarily tough. Also, covid19 hit some cities hard. New york and delhi, jakarta. Many predicted the death of urban areas. Scholar richard florida rejects those rumors and says instead we ll see a great urban reset. Urbanization is it a wonderful thing. It is the thing we created as human beings when we cluster together, when we increase density, we become more diverse, we

Open stunner. Omi the match and her cool on the court. What she s now saying about her future in tennis. We are always so grateful to have your company. It is saturday, september 4th. Thank you for waking up with us. Good morning, christi. We appreciate you sharing part of your labor day weekend with us. From the gulf coast region to the northeast, cities across the country are reeling from the aftermath of hurricane ida. In louisiana, residents are dealing with fuel shortages, power outages, and now, sweltering heat. They re facing long lines to buy food at grocery stores and hurricane ida is being blamed for at least 13 deaths in louisiana and mississippi. And still, more than 700,000 customers remain without power in louisiana. Now, president joe biden did get a firsthand look at the destruction
Taliban. The authorities say that what they re hearing are these guys celebrating the taliban s success and saying it s a model for those who believe in the need for a civil war in the united states. And then there s this weird paradox. On the one hand they re celebrating the taliban and say we want to feel like them and on the other hand there s this chatter that echoes a lot of what we re hearing that the arriving afghan refugees could be criminals and racist groups here saying they could degrade the authority of the white race. Home lbd official says this is all, quote, troubling because it, quote may insight violent activities directed at immigrant communities, unquote. One more reason that no comfort or qualification can be given to this kind of talk or these groups. There are not good people on both sides. Now our focus is not what may happen in america in the future. It s on what is happening right now to those americans left behind in afghanistan. And remember it s not just ame
Greg: talking to myself! happy five days from friday, everyone! hope you all had a relaxing weekend filled with great friends, delicious food, or in julie banderas case, a night in the drunk tank. Yeah, well, there was a storm. I had to have a lot of dark and stormis. Greg: i bet you did. I wonder, is this the greatest immolation i ve ever seen? this is the greatest humiliation have ever seen. Biden s botched exit in afghanistan is the most astonishing display of gross incompetence by a nation leader. Vietnam oaks like a master class in strategy compared to joe biden s catastrophe. And it didn t have to happen. All he had to do is leave the soldiers there until everything is out. Our citizens, our weapons, then you bomb the hell out of the bases. We have five bases and you say byebye. Greg: byebye! [scattered applause] let me ask you, do you think that general patton was woke? i don t think so. Let me ask you, do you think that general patton was woke? i don t think so. You know what
