the american people to care about the plight of all the afghan people, especially the women, and we did care. and that's not going to change. all that's changed, there's nothing we can do about it now. so pulling out may be the right thing to do, but it's heartbreaking. it's humbling when the right thing feels so wrong. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by progressive. making it easy to bundle insurance. welcome to "cbs this morning" and before we get to more news out of afghanistan, we have breaking news overnight on vaccines that we want to tell you about right away. sources are telling cbs news that the white house is recommending covid booster shots for all americans who got one of the two dose vaccines. these boosters would come eight months after your second dose and for now it would apply only to people who received the pfizer or moderna vaccines only because there's not enough data yet about johnson & johnson. the shots could start as early

as mid september if they're approved by the fda. new guidance would apply to new guidance would apply to all americans who received the first shots. the first shots would go to nursing homes, health care workers and other older americans. remember, the u.s. already formally recommended booster shots for people with weakened immune systems. these boosters would be an extra dose of the vaccine that they have already received. the context, it's coming in the context of the dangerous delta variant currently overwhelming hospitals. we'll have more on all of that in our next half hour. >> can't wait to hear. turning to afghanistan where the taliban is tightening its grip on the country and many american citizens remain stranded unable to leave. in the first public comments, president biden insisted the u.s. was right to withdraw its military. this morning a taliban official

called for a nationwide amnesty. called for women to join the government. 20 years ago under taliban rule women could not hold jobs, girls could not go to school and women could not even leave their homes without a male relative. we are in kabul with more on the story. good morning to you. >> reporter: the airport here in kabul is open again today but for now only for military flights. the u.s. will stay there to help evacuate american citizens and vulnerable afghans. these were the lucky ones. one afghan who crammed into a u.s. military plane shared with video with cbs news, showing them airlifted out of the airport. u.s. -- cbs news. others clinged to the aircraft. at least four fell to their deaths. >> it's gut wrenching.

it's scary. it gives you the feeling of abandonment. >> reporter: this man is hiding from the taliban and for his safety we'll call him ahmed. >> none that i know has slept. we're waiting in fear that they will come soon. >> reporter: what do you think they would do to you if they found you or your family? >> if they telecast the imminent death. >> as a senior aide with the former afghan government, he said since the taliban captured kabul on sunday, they've already kidnapped two of his colleagues. while president biden promised to help evacuate afghans who worked for the u.s., the administration is ignoring tens of thousands of others here who

helped america. >> the afghan people have fight terrorism, al qaeda. we were called allies. >> reporter: today a taliban official promised amnesty for all afghans saying they won't target people like ahmed. >> when the taliban say they won't harm people like you, you don't believe them? >> i -- none of us believe them, no. >> the afghan man said he rushed onto it without a visa or passport. a u.s. soldier pushed some people off. he thought he would die but he made it out of afghanistan. >> roxanne in kabul. thank you very much. president biden made his statement yesterday. he blamed the government's collapse on the nation's leaders and military saying they were unwilling to fight for their country. he spoke after hearing repeated accusations that his administration had abandoned afghanistan's people.

ed o'keefe is at the white house. good morning. what else did the president say? >> reporter: good morning, as the president explained his decision to leave afghanistan, he said as the fourth president to oversee military operations there, the country should have withdrawn far sooner. >> i stand squarely behind my decision. >> reporter: president biden defended his position defiantly to pull u.s. troops out of afghanistan. >> the truth is, this did unfold more quickly than we anticipated. >> reporter: the president called this proof no one could stabilize a regime. recent cbs news polling shows 77% of americans supported the withdrawal and mr. biden said he delivered on a campaign pledge to end the nearly 20 year conflict. >> while it's been hard and messy and, yes, far from perfect, i've honored that commitment. >> reporter: but mr. biden also

blamed afghan leaders and the afghan military for failing to fight the taliban. >> american troops cannot and should not be fighting in a war and dying in a war afghan forces are not willing to fight themselves. >> he's faced criticism from republicans. unmitigated disaster. >> reporter: and democrats. >> the question here is whether this is going to be saigon or dunkirk. are we going to leave people behind as we did in south vietnam or are we going to hold the beach until everybody is taken off that beach? i hope that it's the latter. >> reporter: he offered explanation. >> part of it because they wanted us not to trigger a crisis of confidence.

>> a statement overnight from george bush, last month criticized the suchlt withdrawal. said in a statement with laura bush, they watched the tragic events unfolding with deep sadness, speaking about afghans at the greatest risk because of the taliban takeover. he said we have the responsibility and the resources to secure safe passage for them now without bureaucratic delay. the bushes told those who served, you kept america safe from further terror attacks, provided security for millions and made america proud. also notable, democratic chairman of the senate armed services and intelligence committee said they plan to hold hearings and investigations into how it is that afghanistan collapsed so quickly. anthony? >> ed, thank you. retired army general h.r. mcmaster was president trump's national security adviser in

2017 and 2018. before that he served in afghanistan as a senior military commander. general. good morning. >> good morning, anthony. good to be with you. >> is it your belief, general, that we should not have left afghanistan? >> absolutely. i think you can see that based on the tragedy that's unfolding. seeing a humanitarian catastrophe, but it is worse than that. it will effect our security and it will strengthen the jihadist terrorists that we went with. >> general, if you go back through three presidencies, they all wanted to leave afghanistan. the american public does not support us being there but you say we talked ourselves into defeat in afghanistan. what do you mean? >> i'll tell you, anthony. we've had three presidents in a row tell us it is not worth it. what we're seeing today is the cost of our precipitous

withdrawal far exceeds the cost of a sustained and sustainable commitment there. who knows what the number would be, 8500, 3500 troops. what's important is beyond the numbers. afghans were bearing the brunt of their fight to preserve the freedoms they've enjoyed since we helped them defeat the taliban in 2001 but they were fighting for us, for all humanity on a modern day frontier between barberism and civilization, against jihadist terrorists who are the enemies of all humanity. >> are you suggesting we have a permanent force in afghanistan? is that your belief? >> are we still in south korea? we have 30,000 troops in south korea. 2500 troops most recently in afghanistan who were enabling

the afghans to bear the brunt of the fight against our common enemies. the cost of that was minuscule and sustainable. look at the cost now to the afghan people, to the world, to humanity and was it worth it, right? we can cry all the crocodile tears we want, anthony, about afghan women, but if they don't have the security to prevent these criminals, the jihadist terrorists with perverted interpretation of islam to justify their criminal acts, then what can you do? you can't do anything without that fundamental security. >> if you look at korea, the people in control want us there. the difference in afghanistan is there are a lot of people that doesn't. >> did you see the images of people running next to that c-17 aircraft? did they want us there? did they want the taliban there? i think this is a false narrative. we did everything we could to deliver psychological blows to

the afghan government on our way out. we began to negotiate with these in qatar without the afghan government. what did that do for the legitimacy of the afghan government? we made concession after concession. we forced them to release 5,000 of the most heinous people on earth who returned to the battlefield and again victimize the afghan people. do you think the afghan people are welcoming the taliban? i don't think so. many accommodated with them because why? they looked over our shoulders and said, who's got our back? we said, not us. we're leaving. >> a lot of americans say we spent 20 years there, billions of dollars trying to build up their army which collapsed in a matter of days. >> anthony we withdrew 2500 troops. how many are there now? wars don't end when one party decides to disengage. the taliban, al qaeda, which is

completely intertwined with the taliban didn't say the americans aren't here, let's just stop the jihad. our narcissistic, self referential narrative. wars don't end when we leave and our enemies are fighting an endless jihad. >> it certainly is a scary situation. general mcmaster, we appreciate it. >> thank you, anthony. now to haiti where tropical depression grace caused flooding overnight in areas already hard hit by saturday's earthquake. the storm ruined some of the temporary shelters set up for those without homes. this comes after rescue teams spent yesterday digging through the rubble searching for anyone that still could be trapped underneath. more than 1400 people killed and thousands more hurt in the country's deadliest quake since 2010. vladimir duthiers is there. it's the last thing they need there. what is the situation today? >> gayle, right now hospitals are becoming overwhelmed by the thousands of injured patients and that is just the hospitals that are still standing.

in the hardest hit areas of the island many are now piles of rubble leaving those in need of help scrambling. >> in the hard-hit town of lacai, these white tents serve as makeshift units for those injured in the wreckage. the agony of those being treated is painted on the faces. the small hospitals there can barely take in more patients. for those suffering the most serious injuries, a trip to bigger hospitals in port au prince is necessary. medical director scott nelson has been working here since 2010's earthquake. >> many people are in the emergency room on the floor and outside for lack of more space. >> what kind of injuries are you seeing from these earthquake victims? >> with earthquakes, every type of orthopaedic injury. many are crush injuries, severe

open fractures. >> we are in the operating room as surgery is going on. >> most patients had walls or ceilings fall on them, we've had a few jumping injuries, even some who came from close by here where the earthquake wasn't so strong. people jump off of a balcony. have lower extremity fractures from that. >> inside the war it's a race to keep up with the massive influx of patients. >> just three days ago this wing was under construction and it was empty. now there's not an empty bed in the entire ward. they've seen over 100 patients in just the last 48 hours. >> she has a femur fracture here on the right side and another femur fracture on the left side. >> reporter: both of car lynn bernard's femurs snapped in half. hers is just one of thousands of harrowing stories of haitians suffering this tragedy. >> she could feel the earth shaking and she started to run and as she started to run, she was hit by falling debris and there was a man that was next to

her who died, who was crushed by that debris, and she said god blessed her. she's alive. >> carlin will have two metal rods placed into her legs. and good news, doctors tell us she will be able to walk again after her surgery. that's a much different outcome than many of us saw in 2010 when many crush victims faced amputation. >> what are the biggest changes in the emergency response there in haiti? >> reporter: sadly, tony, i had a hard time telling the difference between 2010 and 2021 because nothing has been done to ensure the safety of haitians in the wake of that devastating 2010 earthquake. the other thing, tony, is the

roads. in the entire time i've been coming to haiti over the last 20 years, the roads are still insecure. we have to hilo in. they're impassable or controlled by bandits. all of these issues are manmade. the earthquake is a natural disaster but many of the problems that haitians suffer through, all of the calamities are manmade. >> there's what we can control and what we cannot. there's a big difference between the two. vlad duthiers, continuing his exceptional coverage in port-au-prince. thank you very much. tropical depression fred will dump heavy rain on the southeast. torrential storms are slamming atlanta. tornadoes in the central part of the state. four to eight inches of rain are expected as the storm moves into the carolinas. meanwhile, president biden has declared a state of emergency in florida where fred made landfall along the panhandle and caused widespread flooding and left

in the work of doctors and nurses at hospitals overwhelmed by covid cases. our lead national correspondent david begnaud visited baton rouge, louisiana. good morning. >> reporter: we are at baton rouge general. beds like this are empty because there's not enough nurses. there are ten patients in the e.r. waiting for an icu bed and there are none available. before you say, open up another icu, they usually have three icus, they opened up nine. they still don't have enough. louisiana is still setting records. new hospitalizations. highest hospitalizations. highest case rate. doctors are exhausted. they're treating patients and ran to the hospital and said, please treat me. i'm struggling to breathe. chris thomas, we followed him for seven hours on sunday. take a look at what we saw. >> come on. >> reporter: inside one of the

ronald banks who has a 3 month old at home. >> i couldn't breathe. i should have got the vaccine. >> dr. thomas has heard that before. >> every physician who says they haven't been frustrated at some point is not being honest. we have two pan dem mix. we have a pandemic of a delta variant and we have a pandemic of misinformation. these people are smart and are making what i think they believe are sound decisions as it relates to the vaccine. i'm not frustrated at them anymore, i'm frustrated we've gotten to the point where we allow misinformation to equal medical science. they're not the same. we're losing the battle of misinformation and it's important to win that battle. >> reporter: he'll tell you in trying to win that battle the tone and the approach is really important. >> once you have relationship and trust. if you can do that, then people

snoetsz it is tuesday, august 17th, 2021, we welcome you back to "cbs this morning." chaos in afghanistan after the taliban takeover and new concerns about terrorism. we'll speak to former homeland security chief, jay johnson, about the risk. and now a c career exexperl sharared a vice e with you o ono get hihired. >> and oscar-w-winner, j jen hudson, i is showing respect to aretha franklin in the movie of her life.

but first here's today's eye opener at 8:00. and the taliban is tightening its grip on the country and many american citizens remain stranded. the port is open today but only for military flights. he'll stay to help american citizens. and the president explained his decision to leave afghanistan. he says as the fourth president to over sea military operations there, the country should have withdrawn far sooner. sglits going to strengthen the jhadist terrorists. and hospitals are being overwhelmed and that's the hospitals that are still standing. >> the white house is expected to recommend covid booster shots for nearly all americans who got one of the two-dose vaccines. fake vaccine cards are out there. federal agencies, thousands of

fake covid vaccination cards destined for locations across the u.s. they noticed they had unfinished words and incorrect spanish translations. so, do not trust a card that claims to show porf of vaccination against el covido loco. >> that's a big clue. >> if uryou're going to print i. we're going to begin this hour with a major development in the fight against the coronavirus. cbs has confirmed the white house is expected to announce, this week, that anyone who got the pfizer or moderna vaccine should get a booster shot about eight months after their second dose. the shot could start as early as midseptember, if approved by the fda and this would likely be the very same brand as the first two. officials are still waiting for more data before issuing

guidance on the johnson & johnson single-shot vaccine. those with compromised immune systems can get their booster. >> the moment they tell me, i'm getting in line. and the u.s. embassy is asking americans there to register online to be evacuated. president biden blames afghan leaders for the falloff their government. >> the afghan military collapsed, sometimes without trying to fight. american troops cannot and should not be fighting and dying in a war that afghan forces are not willing to fight for themselves. >> now, one taliban leader announced a general amnesty this morning. but many remain in hiding out of fear that the strict islamic rule they saw in 2001 is now coming back. charley has reported extensively from afghanistan in recent

years. the big question everybody is asking is how in the world did we get to this point? >> few would question the afghan army lacked resolve to stand and fight. yes, they've been trained and equipped for 20 years to go it alone. however, they only faced a harsh reality that u.s. troops were leaving when president biden made the announcement in april and that triggered the taliban offensive. until recently, every joint operation has had to rely on u.s. air strikes, as soon as afghan troops got in over their heads. and we're talking about med vac, supply of food and weapons. and none of that was present. even the tiny afghan air force took a hit because they lost all the u.s. contractors, who were servicing the air force. and they stopped providing

casualty reports long ago because it was destroying morale and recruitment. when i asked u.s. general, scott miller whether forces were ready to stand alone, he said they have to be. clearly, they weren't. anthony. >> thanks, charley. as the taliban strengthens its control of a gan sfghanista there are new fears. welcome, mr. secretary. thank you for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> what should the u.s. have done differently? >> i'm sensitive to second guessing our government sitting here in manhattan. i know what it's like to be in the hot spieeat, the situation room. clearly, this withdrawal was not going to be pretty. withdrawals never are.

any american who's proud of this country should be horrified by the images we saw yesterday of the c-17 taking off and the afghans running after the american air force plane. it does seem as though we had to rush to get the 6,000 in. we did not anticipate and the president acknowledged this. we did not anticipate the speed with which the afghan government would collapse. >> should we have anticipated that? >> i don't have the intelligence assessments anymore that i used to read every day when i was secretary. but it does seem as though, given the timeline, the timeline we were on, that this afghan government was going to collapse rapidly because of the way in which we got out. and because of their own inability to fight. the whole thing collapsed like a tent on tooth picks.

>> we're just a few weeks away from the anniversary of 9/11, the reason we got into afghanistan in the first place. does the falloff afghanistan increase that risk and what concerns do you have? >> i think the honest answer, tony, is that we just don't know yet. afghanistan, and i've been there oo number of times and i was general counsel of dod. what is most striking about it is how remote the terrain is you could hide an entire american city in the mountains of a gan stan. most of it is ungoverned space. that type of terrain is a haven for terrorist organizations, al qaeda and other groups. that was true in 2001, it's true in 2021. on the other hand, we've done a lot to degrade al qaeda over the last 20 years, a lot to degrade the islamic state through our

court terrorism operations. i think we do not know yet what the risk that's presented. but anytime you have ungoverned space and the potential for caliphate in a place like afghanistan, iraq, syria, the horn of africa, we have to be vigilant in our counterterrorism operations, whether inside the country or beyond its boarders. >> so, the idea, is, from the biden administration, is they're going to over sea and stamp it out if it does come back. >> it would have been easier to do in country. i'm with those who said, for our own homeland security purposes, it would be much better to maintain a small special forces operation in country for intelligence collection and counterterrorism purposes. >> his own advisors advised

mr. biden as well. i think the point he's raising and a lot of americans, we've been here for 20 years. at what point do you get out? the optics are heartbreaking. it may be the right decision but it feels so wrong. >> gale, unfortunately, the world's greatest super power has to relearn a hard lesson about once every generation or so, which is a counterinsurgency effort against insurgents in their own homeland is rarely ever winnable. the taliban used to say you folks have the watches, but i have the time. so, for 20 years, they've been waiting us out and now we see the inevitable. on the other hand, i think it would have been wise to keep in place a small force in afghanistan to protect our own homeland security, our own vital security.

>> a small force is what? 2500 troops? >> could be 2500, could be 3,000 in a country as large as afghanistan -- >> doesn't sound like much. >> doesn't sound like much. but if you see one american soldier coming over the hill, you don't know how many there are. >> and they're allegedly encouraging women to get into government, participate in education. do you think they can be trusted? >> time will tell. i know know from experience that terrorist organizations, insurgent groups do sometimes make a deliberate decision to keep the united states out of their way too, make decisions to not focus terrorist attacks, for example, on the u.s. because they don't want us in their business again. time will tell. it does seem, from the last 24 hours, that the taliban is

trying to win a certain degree of respect in the international community. but we'll see whether they show their true stripes and degrading women is part of who they are, fundamentally. >> you always hear the best indication of future behavior is past behavior and their past behavior is not good. >> and they're walking on the streets with weapons.

by a gaming platform. they should know. men who played video games for two hours burned 420 calories. >> that's not possible. >> women burned 472 calories. and apparently that is the same number of calories burned as doing 1,000 situps. video games as good as situps for calorie burning. if you're curious, the games that were played are called fifa and call of duty war zone. that's a war zone game. >> it doesn't sound like it could be true. i want it to be true. >> i want it to be true. >> i want it to be true. i hate working out but it's a necessary evil, in my life anyway. our next guests are the talented women behind the critically acclaimed aretha biomovie called "respect." she is executive producer on the film. drop the microphone.

liesel tommy. >> you say that you made. you said i wasn't going to get what they needed. >> that was one of the main things i said, how am i supposed to approach this vocally? but it ended up being at least in my mind allowing her musical influence that she's had on me to come through while using her approaches, her technique where she sings. she sings from the top of her hit. >> you sing from your peak. >> okay. what does that mean? so blending those worlds together. i feel like i come through most when the emotions kick in.

>> she's looking at you like she's going, okay. did you think you were auditioning to play her? were you thinking, i hope she asks me? >> we had already had the conversation about me playing her. >> you had? >> oh, okay. >> how early was that? >> compared to that? geez, maybe about eight years? >> she was really looking at you, jennifer. >> yes, she was. in my mind, that was my audition. at least i said to myself, this is my audition. >> it's made too much sense.

>> it's exciting. it was my dream to play her as well. it's exciting. >> you sang an aretha franklin song in "american idol." >> that was her introduction to america. >> liesl, your first movie is aretha franklin's life? >> i know. i thought what the heck are you thinking? >> yeah. >> but -- >> you knew you could do it. >> from the moment i got the call that they were interested, i knew what the form should be. >> i told them it was supposed to be casual. this is what it is.

>> i wanted to focus the film on the time she became aretha franklin. the birth of a diva. kind of like a super hero creation. that's how i viewed her. >> i wanted us to see what goes into making somebody like aretha franklin. >> jennifer, i heard you say you couldn't have played this without going through -- talk about traumas, if you hadn't gone through the traumas that you had. how did that help you in playing this role? >> by like -- in being in the middle of scenes and realizing it in that moment.

i felt as though she saw so much more in me where we kind of paralleled than i did. it wasn't until i was literally in the middle of certain scenes where i'm like, wow. especially the scene where her mother comes to her. >> yes. >> at times i'm like -- it's like, it felt real to me. >> i thought about you and your mother. i remember your mom and how proud she was of you. i was wondering when you were playing that. >> yeah, that was really close to home. >> you talk about aretha's influence. you both are singers that came out of the church. what was aretha's influence on you? >> oh, my god. i didn't realize it until the film how much of an impact she was in my life unconsciously so until doing research, searching deeper into her music. singing "amazing grace" or "precious memories." all of the songs i sang in church were structured from her

"amazing grace". >> what did you talk about with her? you became friends. >> we would talk weekly. again, i would say i feel like she taught me more about life while teaching me about her life. i didn't realize how much she was speaking from experience. >> yeah. >> until while we were in the middle of creating the film. we did talk about my baby a lot. she was a cook and she loved eating. the last time i spoke to her was august 8th right before -- right -- and i was like, she called me? like, wow. on that call she sang. >> she sang? >> she did. >> i can't remember the song. she said, that's the isaac brothers. i said, yes, ma'am, i know. then she had told me what she had eaten it was as if she could taste it right there on the phone and then she asked about little david because he loves to cook. >> he does? >> oh, he can cook. i'll have him make you a cake.

>> i would love that. >> icing is my happy place. liesel, you said the queen of soul, you wanted that to have a particular meaning. what did that mean? >> when i was thinking about the script with the writer, i thought to myself, what does the queen of soul mean? what is soul and what does it mean to be the queen of it? how does that impact our story telling? i analyzed that and what i kind of came to understand is that's why when i pitched my idea for the film the beginning of the church and ending in the church. the "amazing grace" album, the album she was so successful with. >> that was her best selling. >> should be our triumphant moment because that's when she came back to her roots. i think that's such a compelling journey for somebody to begin somewhere, get drawn away and then find their heart. >> such an interesting part of aretha's story because she came

up through the church and a lot of -- and at that time singers weren't leaving gospel. sam koch kind of broke the mold and she kind of followed him. >> yes, exactly. there were definitely people in their circle who had questions about her deciding to leave gospel. as she would say, she never left gospel and the church. it was inside of her. >> jennifer, you're already talking oscar buzz for you. don't are scared. >> aretha was talking oscar buzz. you better win oscar. >> that's the very first thing she said. i said, oh, lord. >> in new york we can see you saturday. you're on stage in central park. >> i am. i am super excited. i get to do apollo. come on out thursday night. >> thursday night. >> jennifer hudson, liesl, congratulations to you both. >> reporter:
