taylor: jennifer, from bloomberg intelligence. always really appreciative, recapping walmart and that leads us nicely to another retail report we had today. home depot reporting second-quarter results that came in weaker than expected. liz suzuki joins us where she is over at the securities research analysts. what stood out to you when you see home depot? what are your key takeaways? liz: so, i think this quarter, when we think about home depot comparing against one of his strongest quarters in history and it still grew sales by 8%. at bought back almost $7 billion worth of stock in the first half of the year. it's really deploying that strong balance sheet towards shareholder from initiatives and towards investing in its own capex in terms of the supply chain and improving its competitive mode. what came through was the strength large ticket purchases. the professional customers outpacing the diy customer. last year was really a diy surge. and now we are lapping those strong diy -- we're in a period where the professional is stil

jennifer from your vantage point there in barcelona. what are the fans thinking and feeling right now? are they simply sad? are they angry about how all this went down? what's the mood? yeah. yes. so that i was in time know, and i talk to defiance on our side, disappointed, angry they had been hearing for weeks that they have deal clothes and l. a. bus is that, that even when they can, can have a teach old change. people is bad to not to trust a lap or when messy cries like that, leave a speech to do when he said both and know if the clue did it all. and he didn't ask him to too much to have more chance that people change his mind a i, we need to remember that part of the camping beach was they continue a messy a and just they happens that happens. say, i think the supporters, it starts to see le port that we've and other eyes. i'm a, that's the thing i see just so the income though raphael does this, essentially all boiled down to barcelona, giving up its star player in order to try to repair its finances. yes, certainly found out is t

jennifer, thank you. we will bring you back as the news warrants.ting on the white house to give the press briefing and hear from the pentagon as well, great reporting by our team today. jennifer griffin, lucas tomlinson, trey yingst, jacqui heinrich supporting us behind the scenes was so much good information on email. so thanks to all of them. i want to bring in cash for tall, former pentagon chief of staff under president trump and to also serve for a counterterrorism on the national security council. you are our guy at the center on "outnumbered" up today, and the timing is auspicious and we are grateful for it. first of all, what we don't have right now and i was just top lining my team to find out what new pictures we could get, we don't have eyes on the ground right now, because there is no safe space to do that from what i am being told. as you heard jennifer griffin, you have to secure everything you can and the taliban, dependent on them to do that. some new pictures with what we have already seen, but here's what we know, hundreds of isis

anchor: jennifer, who ultimately bears the most responsibility for what happened?celona, the legal or -- the league or messi? >> first of all, the club's economy [indiscernible] he rejected a spanish league offer. [indiscernible] of course, the duty of the president of the club is to fix that. the reality is that they have not enable to get players to lower salaries. and also can reach an agreement with the players to be in the club. it was complicated like this to sign a contract. the spanish league starts in the weekend and it is impossible to do this in one week, i think. all the points have a lot of -- sorry -- a lot in this case. anchor: obviously this is all quite complicated and there are a lot of variables in play. barcelona's president had said they are trying to keep -- messi could have put the club at risk for 50 years. i am sure a lot of viewers are sort of scratching their heads and say how is that possible? how is it possible that keeping the star player could put the club at risk for that many years? >> it is a very strange situation. barcelona was r

jennifer: no, i don't think this is about us. i think this is about them, about internal dynamics in the country. these soldiers are not getting paid. the government was getting billions of dollars in u.s. assistance and is not getting the funds to frontline soldiers. you are seeing the taliban have done a remarkable job with their propaganda over the last several days. you have seen them taking photos in these luxurious pales of warlords, of government officials. you can see the luxury lifestyle these officials are living while so many were living in such poverty. it is not just fighting against something. you have to have something to fight for. i think this has revealed weariness came into the picture. matt: part of it is the corruption. i wonder how much of it is that the people are necessarily against the taliban. it is difficult over an entire country with 60,000 core fighters, 90,000, give or take, militiamen, if the country does not accept at least to some extent what you are about. jennifer: i don't think there is a norm

jennifer has been with us at the pentagon reporting. incredibly well, jennifer, through the war. let's get your thoughts as this has come to an end on august 30th. euplt dane a i came out of the pentagon briefing where general mckenzie said the planes have cleared military air pace. last flight out was general donahue and the ambassador, state department pugh od leaving hand and hand with the american flag on the last flight out. heartbreaking images in terms what had general mckenzie had to admit. they did not get every her out that wanted to leave. he mentioned this will move to a military phase to a diplomatic phase. the department of state will work tirelessly to get any american out that wants to get out working with those partners on the ground, which include the kataris with a embassy and the turks with an embassy and in control of the airport. turkish nato allies are working with the taliban to get the airport to be commercial to get flights. in general mckenzie was clear they made a decision not to destroy operational aspects of the airport so fire trucks and there is co

jennifer, who do you think ultimately bears the most responsibility for what happened? is it barcelona? is it legal or is it messy? i think at 1st i think i prefer to say the economy by keeping on day so badly. he rejects the day is on the sheep of her and we, these are the feel of new. we may see this up here are a completely, a of course the duty of diversity club is to speak that in here you are, the middle left in a reality is a they have not being able to sell yours to lower the siding salary, a 110 percent exceeded and a also can reach an agreement with, with they act all players to, to, to be in, in the clocks it was complicated like the to sign a contract. a like the finish leak starts in a day. we can't seem possible to to do this in one week. i think a all day, all day points have a lot of all of the oh, where the story i've seen in these in the case, raphael, you know, obviously this is all quite complicated and there's a lot of variables in play here as far as how this decision is ultimately made, but barcelona is president mr. report to had said that trying

let's bring in jennifer griffen now. what's your reaction to what we just heard from president biden. >> i'm trying to sort through my reaction but the first thing i would say is that, whack continues to be amazing to me is that every time the president speaks, he sets a deadline that then the military has to scramble to adjust to meet. he doesn't seem to understand what it takes toss either evacuate people, the buildup, the time needed, the amount of people that he has promised that he was going to get out. he makes statements like all u.s. citizens will be evacuated from u.s. government doesn't even know how many americans are in afghanistan. when i hear the president talking about these so-called over the horizon capabilities, there are no over the horizon capabilities. those are empty words. we do not have any basis in the region where you can place drones, where you have intelligence officers. we now have no part ers in on the ground in afghanistan, other than the taliban, and how's that going to work in terms of ov

jennifer, how are you. >> good evening, richard. tonight thousands are on edge as they evacuate thousands of afghans on the tarmac. approximately five thousand were there today. new video of the attack shows the devastation outside of abbey gape. one suicide bomber truck and then opened fire. the pentagon has blamed isis-k. but won't blame the taliban who still need to provide airport security. >> how many isis-k prisoners were left and believed to have been released from the prison? why were they not removed when the u.s. pulled out? >> i don't know the exact number. clearly it's in the thousands. >> u.s. officials say reports that they shared lists of americans and allies with the taliban are incorrect. adding in some cases to get the afghans and americans through a check point they provided the information. for the most part the taliban have let those people pass. 12,500 people were evacuated yesterday on 35 military flights even after the suicide bombing attack that killed 13 americans and wounded other american troops. those tr

jennifer? >> neil, we just came out of a briefing here with centcom commander general frank mckenzie. he explained what happened outside abbey gate today. he confirmed the death toll, that 12 u.s. service members, most marines, one navy medic and 15 others were wounded in this suicide bombing attack. he explained the bomber got close to abbey gate, even possibly close enough for the marines to be patting the bomber down. they don't know the size of the blast but clearly to take out so many people with one blast, this was a sizable bomb. it's also clear there was a security failure. what we learned is that the u.s. has been relying on the taliban for their checkpoints and their screenings, if you will, of those coming toward the airport. that is really a very tough visual to imagine. the taliban patting down every person and checking everyone coming to the airport. that is the arrangement that they've made to have some semblance of security. clearly this bomber got through. general mckenzie was

jennifer: that has not changed.anything to put ourselves back to normal, to go back to our lives, it is to get vaccinated. there is nothing new in the data that suggests otherwise. heard a lot of news yesterday about the potential need for a third does. i will tell you most people, including myself, think the data are not quite there to suggest most people need edits. there are cloud -- there are some small groups of people that absolutely need extra help, the immunocompromised, and they are already able to access a third does. as far as people broadly, we are not convinced that happened. the vaccines are still doing what they need them to do, preventing us from getting ill enough to get into the hospital. lisa: then went we stopped caring whether we get infected? right now, i will be honest, the vaccine -- as a vaccinated individual with a child at home who is not vaccinated, i care as much about getting infected as i do about getting very sick simply because this will affect the people who i care about. when does

let's bring in jennifer griffin. jennifer, good afternoon to you. what are you learning? >> good afternoon, martha. the threat to troops at the airport will increase in the coming days we're told. the president has been told that u.s. forces on the ground in kabul face another imminent terrorist attack. that message being delivered at the pentagon as well. >> we're monitoring these threats virtually around real time. i won't get into more detail than that. >> i want to warn you the following video is graphic and disturbing. if you have children, might want them to step out of the room. what i can tell you is this video shows the aftermath of yesterday's attack. the pentagon corrected reports from yet of two suicide bombers adding there was no explosion at the baron hotel, about 200 years from that gate. the pentagon could not say if any u.s. troops were killed by gun fire. the death toll among afghans rose to 130. >> how can you say with certainty that the taliban were not involved in this suicide bombing? i understand that you're reliant on them for protection around the

what do you think, jennifer, about all of this? is false, obviously, deliberate or not. but let's be clear about a few things. first of all, i think you're exactly right in saying that we never fully appreciated that what we were asking the afghans to do, to form this central army of hundreds of thousands of people with a national identical -- identity was never going to happen. i think the military's inclination to salute and say, oh, yes, we can do it. oh, yes, it's working. oh, yes, things are getting better. although they may not feel like they're lying, they're just being optimistic. in fact, they begin to delude themselves and, therefore, they give bad information to presidents, they give bad information to congress and the american people. when we go back and look at this, you're going to see a slew of generals, admirals, secretaries of defense, all getting up there and telling us the afghan army is really making progress. we really see them. they are a tremendous fighting force, on and on and on. and it never happened. i th

to quote jennifer griffin, the incomparable jennifer griffin, she said we were in afghanistan to start to stop terrorism from brewing from growing, and our partners have now been abandoned , they are in hiding. we don't have eyes in ears on the ground. and we will talk about later th over the horizon cap ability it's laughable. all go into it in the next block , but they are going to be flying drones bite that by the time they get to afghanistan from the persian gulf they have little time to do any work. i keep hearing this word humiliating. this has been a humiliating week . no, not for america. not for our service members, those who served in sacrificed, those who were there, those are who are going into afghanistan now. it is infuriating in frightening . every american listening to thi garbage from this garbage president has every right to be mad the only humiliating thing is the only humiliation is on joe biden in the people that work for joe biden in the white house in the administration. ella democrats should be humiliated. all the media grifters, in the hucksters, in the swindle

. >> jennifer griffin, fox news. can you say was there one or two suicide bombers at the abbey gate and was it a male bomber and can you give us anymore details about the second explosion that occurred after baron hotel? was that a car bomb or a suicide bomber? finally, there are state department employees that are side by side with u.s. marines at the gate. were there any other u.s. citizens killed in the attack and why were the marines so close together that so many were killed in one strike? >> we think one suicide bomb at abbey gate. i don't know if it was male or female. don't have that information. don't know much about the second be bomb except one went off in the vicinity of the baron hotel, which is a deeply bunkered structure. as far as i know, there were no u.k. military casualties as a result of that. may have been afghan casualties. but it will take us time to actually learn how many afghan casualties. we took some aboard the installation. many were taken to hospitals in town. what i see is get i get ope

jennifer griffin as life right now at the pentagon.jennifer, that is certainly not what we've seen, in fact they called the fall of kabul catastrophe in criticized the president for withdrawing u.s. troops. french parliamentarian we thought america was back commit angola merkel is questioning hi motives very calling for accountability on perhaps on behalf of the united states saying the u.s. bears the main responsibility for the current situation. we can't fact check it fast enough because there were so many wrist representations of what is happening on the ground to hear the president talk abou still having an over the rising capability. and even the taliban, that woul have required partners on the ground. what we seen in recent days is those partners on the ground have been abandoned, they are i hiding, they are fearing for their lives. they fled the country, we don't have partners, we don't have eyes in ears, the reason the u.s. military can't leave the airport to go rescue any americans out in kabul when british and french special
