On the Ground in Ida-Struck Louisiana

Hurricane Ida made landfall in Louisiana on Sunday as a Category 4 storm with winds of 150 miles per hour, one of the strongest storms to hit the region since Hurricane Katrina. Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) discusses the damage caused by Hurricane Ida as over one million people in the region--including his own family--are without power. The United States is a day away from ending its evacuation mission in Kabul, marking the apparent end of a 20-year engagement in Afghanistan. AEI President Emeritus, contributing writer for The Atlantic, Harvard professor, and host of “The Art of Happiness” podcast Arthur Brooks discusses President Biden’s agenda, including the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Covid-19 vaccines for kids may be closer than experts originally expected, and countries in the EU are set to restrict American travelers due to variant outbreaks stateside. Plus, Elizabeth Holmes, founder and former CEO of Theranos, begins her trial this week, and her defense claims that her ex-boyfriend and Theranos partner subjected her to a “decade-long campaign of psychological abuse.” Unsealed filings also reveal Holmes plans to testify in her own defense.
