Today on the program, the knesset votes to take away a key power of israels Supreme Court, and as Benjamin Netanyahu urges calm, the nations Political Center and left erupt in anger. Ill talk to the New York Times Paul Friedman about the politics involved and with his colleague Emily Bazilon about the legal issues. Then the secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas on the good news and the bad news from americas Southern Border. Finally, did President Putin lose or gain power after prigozhins failed mutiny . Ill ask russian journalist in exile mikhail zigov. But first heres my take.

and a moderator. he praised each other and bashed the mainstream media. no shortage of hit pieces on you in the press over the last week or two. i thinks this is a function of these, the legacy media, these corporate journal they re in their little bubble. i saw a headline from the atlantic basically claiming that anyone who listens to this space on twitter basically a nazi. howard: but by then they d lost half their audience, so why did ron desantis roll the dice on twitter not blowing up like a spacex rocket? he s hardly a big fan of the mainstream media and not a great can orator, so he made the digital bet. the coverage of musk, who s been hated by left-wingers and admired by right-wingers. i mean, look at in this disgusting vanity fair headline, ron desantis the will formally announce with elon miss you can because apparently david duke wasn t available. i m howard kurtz and this is mediabuzz. howard: ahead, finally a debt ceiling deal, but is the press t
