No, they didn`t. It was split. That wasn`t true. That wasn`t true.

What’s happening now could just as easily happen five years ago or 15 years in the future. We have to be honest. Our mission in Afghanistan has taken many missteps, made many missteps over the last two decades. I am now the fourth American…

There is just no elegant way to end a losing war.

The past week has been heartbreaking. We have seen gut-wrenching images of panicked people acting out of sheer desperation. You know, it's completely understandable. They're frightened. They're sad, uncertain what happens next. I don't…

There`s no good time to leave Afghanistan. Getting out would be messy no matter when it occurred.

The President says build back better and he says build back better for a reason.

No. Not at -- not in terms of whether we were going to get out in a timeframe all troops. They didn`t argue against that.

There is no good time to leave Afghanistan, 15 years ago would have been a problem, 15 years from now, the basic choice is, am I going to send your sons and your daughters to war in Afghanistan, in Afghanistan in perpetuity.

I don’t think any one of us can see these pictures, and not feel that pain on a human level.

Americans understand we are going to try and get it done before August 31.

the administration is hoping to continue pressuring private businesses and local jurisdictions to increase mass requirements increase vaccination rates, rather than have to impose their own kind of mandates.

The Afghanistan withdrawal is not failure.

Unfortunately, as you’ve seen throughout this pandemic, some politicians are trying to turn public safety measures... into political disputes for their own political gain.

I pleaded with the 85 million unvaccinated Americans to get vaccinated.

I think the administration, in some ways was caught off guard by the strength of the anti-vaxxers resistance.

It's my land, it's your land.

I want to speak to you all -- all of you who are vaccinated. How should you be thinking about the moment we`re in? First, know that you`re highly protected against severe illness and death from COVID-19. Only a small fraction of people…

This was inevitable, that this chaos that we are seeing unfold was going to happen.

Our military mission in Afghanistan will conclude on August 31. The drawdown is proceeding in a secure and orderly way.

We`re going to do everything in our power to get all Americans out and our allies out.
