what does that look like? begging, pleading, bribing, fighting their way through taliban checkpoint while taliban fighters beat them and often block them entirely. i spoke with a woman last night who is eight months pregnant who tried for hours to run that gauntlet and understandably gave up. she was beaten with a bicycle chain. her husband told her he'd rather be killed by the taliban than put his family through that again. so that is the reality. a hunger games fight to the exits, or you're left behind. a catch 22 for a new war, and a new time. new details released this morning on the johnson & johnson booster shot. there is some promising data. we're going to have that for you. plus the number of children testing positive for covid-19 is now at levels not seen since last winter. experts warn it will only get worse. and speaker nancy pelosi, she's at the podium right now. this after moderate democrats coalesced around her strategy on the president's economic agenda.
