Summary

On Monday the Pentagon announced that all U.S. troops had departed Afghanistan, meeting President Biden's August 31 withdrawal deadline and officially ending America's longest war in Afghanistan. CEO of Rubicon Founders Adam Boehler , who previously negotiated with the Taliban, explains what that was like, what he thinks about the troop withdrawal from Afghanistan and if he is surprised with how quickly Afghanistan fell to the Taliban. Hurricane Ida made landfall in Louisiana on Sunday, leaving nearly one million people in New Orleans without power following widespread flooding and dangerous winds. The category 4 storm had a devastating impact on that city and others and President Biden on Monday held a virtual meeting with mayors and governors impacted by Ida. The President pledged the federal government's help on search and rescue efforts as well as damage assessment. Fox News Correspondent Jeff Paul joins from New Orleans to break down the aftermath of the storm, the power outages how Louisiana may have been better prepared following Hurricane Katrina. Later, Houston-based furniture store owner, Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale joins to explain how he has converted some of his furniture showrooms into a shelters for Hurricane Ida evacuees and details his efforts in collecting donations and nonperishable goods for those who need disaster relief.
