# At This Hour > A chaotic withdrawal from Kabul exposes deep fractures in the Biden administration while pharmaceutical giants prepare for a permanent cycle of vaccine boosters and new variants. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 1375 - **Published:** 2021-08-23 - **Length:** 3h 11m - **Topics:** Kabul Withdrawal, Omega Variant, Booster Profits, [Regeneron](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/regeneron.md), Satanic Glitch, Blueberry Cheerios - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1375-at-this-hour ## About this episode President Joe Biden faces mounting pressure as Sky News Australia and domestic critics like Chuck Todd question his mental capacity and the strategic failure of the Afghanistan withdrawal. The administration remains under fire for closing Bagram Air Base before evacuating civilians, while reports surface that Hillary Clinton has successfully utilized private charter flights to rescue Afghan women where official State Department efforts have stalled. Chaos at the Kabul airport intensified after the State Department accidentally emailed thousands of unnumbered, blank visa documents to Afghan refugees. Meanwhile, the U.S. military identifies ISIS-K as a renewed threat to the region, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defends banning unvaccinated citizens from travel as a necessity for national progress. In the United States, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky and NIH Director Francis Collins signal the arrival of the Omega variant and the transition to a multi-billion dollar booster shot cycle for Pfizer, citing waning efficacy in vaccinated populations from Israel and the UK. John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry explore the oddities of the week, from the intense scent of Blueberry Cheerios to the technical glitch that caused an Australian Broadcasting Corporation segment to cut to a satanic ritual. The duo breaks down the resignation of Jeopardy! host Mike Richards and the suspension of Detroit Tigers announcer Jack Morris, while Sir Vegas joins the No Agenda roundtable to share his immediate remorse after receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine to secure his employment. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.
