The state. but you can see how statistics lie here. it is easy to spout such statistics without pointing out a very real and very painful history of the united states, the american medical system, intentionally using black boiz as essentially guinea pigs and lab rat and of course we heard the term tuskegee but were talking about forced sterilization and eugenics and brain experiments throughout the american south. were talking about black fraternal health in which african-american womens pain co...

First of all, african americans are about 13% of the population in texas. so, statistically, even if theres a covid spread, which apparently there is in texas -- apparently quarter to the lieutenant governor, it has nothing to do with a filler to mask up or anti mask policies. but it has something to do with black folks who are a substantial minority of the population, well behind white folks, and well behind latinos in the state. you see how statistics light here. its easy to start spout such s...

Failed. look, at the moment i have my journalists here inside the airport. you see most of the videos by that journalist. didnt understand who needs to get in. instead of pointing an american gun on these people, we should have had a better plan, who should get in. if youre siv or ally or citizen or activist, there has been confusion to this day. when you call the hotline state department, they tell you to fill out a form. a lot of these people contact me. there is an issue that government needs...

Americans right now and this is number one refugees, and working to get the people who are siv applicants and want to get out, and get them out. and then we have to work with the people in afghanistan to make sure that the terrorists dont find safe haven there again, and as long as we keep our eye on the ball of what is most important, we will be able to proceed in a good direction, and all of the finger pointing, it is creating tired fingers, so we need to focus on the interests and getting adv...

Gun fire believed from the taliban, beatings in the streets, contradicting the talibans promise of an orderly transition. tens of thousands of afghan men, women and children desperate now to board planes, caught in the middle. the pentagon say it was planning to get up to 9,000 people out of afghanistan a day, but just 2,000 in the last 24 hours. tonight here, the defense secretary is pressed, can he assure safe passage for americans and afghans to the airport, to get them past the taliban? what...

Lets bring in nbc news, and nbc national affairs, host of show times the circus, and hell and high water podcast, john heilemann. this was foreseeable by a lot of people and preventable, many assessments have it. if bagram air base had remained open, get translators, allies, americans out of the country, and then you leave, as the argument goes but as mika walked through for us, youve got military pointing at state, state pointing at congress and the circle just going back around. nobody wants a...

0 personnel in danger, as well. kristen: sheriff martin, thank you very much. well have the latest on the fire at 4:00. tonight, breaking news as we come on the air. the abc news exclusive with president biden. his first interview since the fall of afghanistan to the taliban. president biden one-on-one with george stephanopoulos. the president said just weeks ago, a taliban takeover was highly unlikely. so, was the intelligence wrong or did the president downplay it? how the president responds...

Official to me a short time ago that really capsulizes all of what they are saying and doing here. it says, this official told me, yes, our competence is being questioned. the only way to fix that is to stabilize the airport and safely withdraw americans and our partners to the best of our ability. so that, of course, is the central question here going forward. we know the president is at camp david this morning receiving his security briefings on the updates at the airport there in kabul. offic...

But that said, again, we recognize that, but at the end of the day, how effective is this pointing at the guy who was the last president -- how effective is that going to be politically for joe biden when he himself said yesterday, the buck stops here? >> first youre right to point out the hypocrisy of donald trump and his allies on this issue. this was trumps deal originally to get out of afghanistan. but joe biden himself, president biden is not trying to shift this onto donald trump, not real...
