Summary

It’s been a tough week watching the images come out of Afghanistan as the Taliban took over the region, following the United States’ exit after 20 years. It has left many Americans questioning was America’s longest war worth it? FOX News National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin has been covering the Afghanistan war since the beginning and she takes us back to where it all began, the outcome of President Biden’s decision to withdraw the troops and the questionable timing with the upcoming September 11 anniversary. Coronavirus cases continue to rise across the U.S. as many schools start to reopen or plan to reopen across the nation. Concern over the Delta variant and breakthrough cases has the Biden administration planning to roll out booster shots this fall. Former U.S . Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams weighs in on breakthrough cases and explains why that shouldn’t deter people from getting the vaccine. He also discusses families can prepare for a safe back to school including both parents and children being fully vaccinated and wearing masks. Learn more about your ad choices.
