yes, ben scott, thank _ what they wish for. yes, ben scott, thank you _ what they wish for.uch - what they wish for. yes, ben scott, thank you so much for joining us on newsday. it's notjust kabul airport where thousands have been gathering to try to leave afghanistan since the taliban took over of the country. thousands have also travelled to the border with pakistan, in the hope of getting out, but many are not being allowed through. 0ur correspondent shumaila jaffery reports from the border. this is the border point. thousands of desperate families, trying to escape into pakistan. these are people who knew they had no chance at kabul airport. they are desperate to reach safety. but there is chaos here, too. just a few are being let across. these families left almost everything behind. with small children in tow, exhausted from walking in the baking heat, the elderly and sick pushed on wheelbarrows. as the taliban flag flutters at the border, people tell us they don't trust their country's new rulers and see no future in afghanistan any more. no—one can trust the taliban,

earlier i spoke to ben scott in sydney — a foreign policy expert from the lowy institute.biggest question now for most countries with an interest in afghanistan globally, but especially afg hanistan�*s neighbours, is what is the relationship going to be going forward between the taliban and jihadist groups? the taliban had an unbroken relationship with al-qaeda. .. is it going to have the capability to go through on that? from my perspective the taliban are actually torn. on the one hand they are this proven ideological violent jihadist group with, as i say, this long collection with al-qaeda and on the other hand they now are to govern a landlocked state surrounded by neighbours who all view them as a source of potential security threats. there is been some criticism about the fact that the us is working with the telephone to secure the perimeter of the airport. and that has also been one of the main reasons, i understand, that groups like isis see the taliban as having veered away from the purest ideology ofjihad. how do you see this playing out in the future. i see this

ben sasse. we have guys like tim scott.re fundamentally -- they believe in the american spirit and lifting people up and bringing them together nobody is perfect, but when i look around and i see that kind of talent, i've got to say i'm pretty hopeful. >> now i'm going to get twitter feeds from millennials that googled ronald reagan. >> ronald reagan was great st. ronald. >> no, he's just an actor. i get it, i seeit. it helps if you actually were there and were there for eight years, 365 days a year seeing it instead of googling it and coming up with three talking points. >> i agree. >> well, we need you i can't believe you're there surrounded by -- i know you go around dressed incognito on that campus back there. >> no, i'm happy i'm telling you, i'm full blast. they all know who i am it's good. there's a lot of debate but i'm very happy. >> disclosure. as long as you have disclosure thanks, arthur. >>> coming up, dr. scott gottlieb on the timeline for getting children younger than 12 the covid vaccine. we're coming right

ben. and i saw it in the white house as press secretary, where children now are being put last. i had dr. scott come into my office, topple on my desk a stack of papers and say here's the data that our children should be in schools. all of the science is there that shows that they are not transmitting covid as readily. why are we as a country putting our children last. who, what nation sacrifices their children as western european countries are opening their schools and we are not as child abuse cases are reporting rather going down cases and hospitals are going up. it's reported in schools and we are keeping our school doors shut. so there is the idea of having kids and then there the idea of protecting those kids on the other side. >> ben: we will look back, i believe, at this pandemic and those decisions where the rest of the world was able to find a way to get kids back into school and we were not as being an incredible failure of governance. thank you, kayleigh, for joining me tonight. >> thank you, ben. >> ben: also here with me tonight is the author of "hillbilly he will i didn't" and re

ben, i think that his relationship with cnn is incredibly interesting. that network does have a history with elevating men of the leftist persuasion be it scott israel or behe simple fact that his own brother, andrew cuomo's brother who has his cable news show there was apparently also unofficially writing and draftings his responses to all of the early accusations i was reading some of the emails on my radio program today that he had sent out. that's incredibly problematic. i also think it just goes to show you how invested in andrew cuomo not just the media but democrats were. remember, this was their golden boy. right? i know that joe biden called him the gold standard. but this is the guy the democrats were looking at for maybe 2024 for after biden. they were defending him at all cost. we started with the opening of cuomo sexual. marched this guy out. he had mugs. he had t-shirts. he was single and ready to mingle and doing all of these completely cringey interviews. these people enabled all of it so now all of them have to eat their words. every single bit of it i'm here with the popcorn, ben. i'm just watching. >> ben: i have always said that we sho
