clearly going very poorly. howie: right. we all have seen the images. juan, what bothered many media people on the right as i said at the top was the fact that the president and his top national security officials didn t admit that anything had gone wrong, everything went as well as it possibly could, nobody could have predicted the afghan collapse and all that. why can t commentators on your side admit that much of this was horribly handled? well, i think that the key point is that they got out of the war and obviously most americans agree with that, liberal and conservative. so we re talking then about the withdrawal and i think that there has been lots of dissent there. now, you can say, you know that, the divide between left and right, howie but i think you watch any channel in america, no matter their orientation and there s much coverage, almost saturation coverage of the foreign policy implications, the potential for future terrorist attacks as a result of the
were very tough on biden administration and a properly so. when we come back, are most of the media already moving on from the afghanistan disaster? and later, larry elder on why the president is ganging up on him press is ganging up on him in the recall fortunately, they were covered by progressive, so it was a happy ending. for almost everyone. this isn t just a walk up the stairs. so it was a happy ending. when you have an irregular heartbeat, it s more. it s dignity. the freedom to go where you want, knowing your doctor can watch over your heart.
howie: ahead my interview with larry elder, the california radio host who has a shot at becoming governor. as hard liners say it would have been better to leave some military contingent in afghanistan indefinitely, president biden used his televised speech to reject those views. so when i hear that we could have, should have continued the so-called low grade effort in afghanistan, at low risk to our service members, at low cost, i don t think enough people understand how much we have asked of the 1% of this country who put that uniform on. but there was so little sense of humility about the fact that the u.s. invaded this country 20 years ago and the toll that has taken and the lives that have been lost, not just on the u.s. side, but also on the afghan side. . if joe biden thought he
he put afghanistan people on airplanes and got them out, who had no siv, the special immigrant visa. he pulled them out with leaving americans there. this is nonsense. the fact is, if the media were covering this issue fairly and with balance, i guarantee you his poll numbers would be even worse than they already are. howie: i ve got half a minute. i think there s a lot of coverage from the ordinary biden allies in the mead why media while this was going on. would you agree that the president was not defended by many of the media allies during the war withdrawal. i think they ignored it, except the ones that were on the ground. you had cnn s clayly say ward clarissa ward, richard engle. they practiced hon easts honestm and reported what they say, what
and i think that there was an attempt to do a lot of acrobatic word play at the press podium and an attempt for them to try to get their way out of this situation by sort of picking apart peter doocy s word, stranded. thats was sort of hotly debated there but in the end we saw that americans were left behind. howie: they feel stranded now. there is no way to get out of that. howie: juan, the press has been focusing on a couple of these really heartbreaking stories that makes it more than just abstract, for example, the wall street journal reporting an afghan interpreter who helped rescue senator biden when his helicopter and a couple other senators was forced down in afghanistan because of bad weather and he s asking the president to save him. the white house chief of staff 15eud they would do that. said they would do that. a woman was interviewed by voice of america, 25 years old, from
