 and welcome back to news on a Miranda Khan again just want to remind all of you that are just tuning in now we are still awaiting that press briefing to give us the very latest information this after two explosions occurred in Afghanistan the reports of US Marines being injured as well as Kabul Hospital reporting that at least 30 people have been injured will of course bring that to you live as soon as it happens meanwhile I want to welcome back our panel joining us once again Robin Byro and Melissa Armo thank you both for sticking around so right before the break we're talking about this piece that was published by the New York magazine's intelligence are complaining that the media actually manufactured President Joe Biden's political fiasco when it comes to his handling of this withdrawal from Afghanistan the media Melissa did the media just manufacture this I think very often the media sometimes does create drama maybe where there isn't or cover up for dramatic things that they don't want to be played out but I will say this in real everyday life right now people are paid attention to what's going on I think that the administration is hoping that people are going to forget about this in a couple of days or a couple of weeks but now that you've had two bombs go off people are not going to forget about this and also I will point out the market is falling today and fell drastically immediately when it came out of the news that there was a bomb and that Americans were hurt so if people have 401ks if they have investments in the markets they sure as heck are going to pay attention to what's going on I don't think people are going to forget about this and I really I hate to say this but in the next couple of days we could see more attacks like this particularly because now people are distracted by this by what's happening trying to get the wounded out trying to help the people trying to regroup the Americans that are there we may see more attacks and we may not see them coming I don't think that people are prepared for what is about to happen next and God forbid we would continue and get into some kind of war with Afghanistan I always say the markets bullish the markets been running up barring a world war the market will probably continue the uptrend it's been holding up pretty good but when something like this happens it scares everybody it scares the market it panics people we don't want to get into a drawn-out conflict in there especially when we were just trying to leave Robin to Melissa's point yes the media it's about making ratings so we do in the media tend to exploit the drama but this is a serious dramatic incident people are dead not just Americans British people are some of our Afghan allies that were helping us fight this war there are over 80,000 people that we were trying to extricate safely people who assisted us who assisted me when I was fighting overseas so this is this is international conflict here yeah this will have international attention on it and it's it's serious and very grim the media has a responsibility to report on it yeah you know and and having worked in the media my entire adult life I don't disagree with some of the comments that that you both have made however you can't manufacture suicide bombers going off people falling from planes people being beaten people can see the video from themselves and judge and as you mentioned Robin you have some of your military family members like to call them family members basically yeah because they are family that fought alongside you still there they're telling you what's going on the ground and it's not peaceful we know that right now and it's estimated about a hundred thousand people now have been evacuated and that this is reportedly the biggest evacuation that has ever taken place in US history I do want to kind of go to some other news but real quickly Robin again that press briefing is scheduled to begin any moment what do you anticipate to hear out of that press briefing today we better hear some plans of action we can't leave this up to the Taliban like I said they've delegated security force detail at this airport to forces associated with Al Qaeda that's not going to cut it we have American we've got what I want to hear or how we're going to protect American troops first and foremost and then all the other people it's 80,000 other us other people associated with us I don't have high hope anything different today Miranda than they've been saying every single day for the last week every single day they get on and they say the same thing and nothing ever happens and now there's been two bombs have gone off and for them to think that people are going to forget about this 9-11 is coming up 9-11 is less than three people are not going to forget about this no one everyone that's an American knows what happened 20 years ago and that's actually the the focus of the question that we're asking our viewers is whether or not they they think an attack is likely either before or in the days following 9-11 Robin real quickly I've been kind of asking this question every single day but I don't think I've asked it to you and since you served in the Afghan war a lot of people are saying none of this withdrawal makes sense right you got France upset you've got Britain upset pretty much this exit strategy has angered everyone there are very few people saying yeah this this this was a good move on the by administration's part so that leads me to believe then why is there something possibly that the by the administration knows that they are not telling the American people that maybe there's not a threat over there but possibly a threat over here and that is what's being used against us and that's why there's this big push to get everybody out by that deadline thank you for saying that that has been my concern as well of course the presidents get the most detailed secret classified information we're not privy to that even when I had two levels above top secret security clearance I didn't know information like that there are absolutely threats here right now today there are things that none of us will be privy to so protecting all of Americans here at home is of course our first first and foremost responsibility but we've got to protect our men and women in uniform overseas also and get them home safely it's a paramount importance yeah thank you it's just you know it's been bothering me the past several days just listening to everyone on the left and on the right saying none of this makes sense so that's why it leads me to believe that there's something we just don't know about but again that's just a theory we'll continue to monitor the situation to get on that press briefing and bring you the very latest and the few minutes that we have remaining though this just caught our attention so we're gonna definitely switch gears here and talk about covid so a washington state high school is now being accused of forcing high school students to wear taxpayer funded ankle monitors to track covid outbreaks now under the rule the students either have to wear the monitors or risk not being able to participate in sports the trace tag monitors as they're being called go off if the person wearing it gets too close to someone else the tracing monitor also collects contact tracing information in case of where it comes down with covid-19 the high school has stopped using the devices until it gets further input though from the community along with the board approval you know we can have been a lot of debate over whether or not to wear a mask whether or not to get vaccinated but I gotta say Melissa this little different with the ankle bracelets they're acting like these people have to be tracked like they're criminals criminals wear ankle bracelets I mean this is so absurd I've never heard of anything so absurd it's almost like the point where you get up in the morning you hear new stories like this in different different states or different cities just like here in New York where you have the vaccine mandate which is absolutely absurd and is already hurting businesses we cannot continue to go down these crazy past we're gonna have to live with this virus forever people can make up their own mind to wear masks or not people can make up their own mind to get vaccinated we can't put our children through any more of this this is nuts Robin last 40 seconds to you on this topic can you imagine your sons wearing these no definitely not and it's sort of redundant because most all high school age students have phones all of our phones currently have contact notifications right here and contact tracing as an option they can use that I don't know I don't understand doesn't make sense to me why we would need ankle bracelets to do the same not to mention it seems like it'd be kind of hard to kick the ball let's just say if you're on a field wearing that ankle bracelet I'm just trying to visualize how this is gonna work I'm already athletically challenged as it is I wouldn't need something else to hamper my efforts but as always Robin and Melissa thank you so much for joining us always a pleasure thank you all right there is so much more news to come here on this edition of news on we're gonna be talking about the border news the number of people that have been arrested and their criminal background quite alarming we're gonna give you the very latest on that when news on returns
