States mill he tri and ouR Diplomats and military and ouR Diplomats and intelligence professionals. Howie howie extraordinary success, that phrase brought the President Plenty of criticism. The pentagon did good work in evacuating americans and afghan alleys. Allilies. We havent heard anybody say they did anything wrong. It was Donald Trump who signed the withdrawal agreement, also an attempt by Pro Biden pundits to conflate the decision to leave afghanistan with the awful execution that the whole world has witnessed. This broadeR Debate is so important that its our job to lift it above petty part sonship. Im Howard Kurtz and this is Media Buzz. 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 socall
Texas? plus why mitch mcconnell is wanting to defund police. And the backlash to the truth about american history when all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. I m chris hayes. The delta variant is spreading. Even countries of higher vaccination levels than our own have started to see the delta variant penetrated less vaccinated population. In israel, more than 80% of people with vaccinated but the majority of kids still waiting. Delta has been fueling outside breaks at schools. Here at home this familiar lu unwelcome headline hospitals in missouri are once again low on ventilators. He delivered a blunt message about vaccines. This is not complicated. We re not asking anybody to make any political statement one way or the other. We re saying try and say your life and that of your family and that of the community. It s you know, we have so many things, as you said, so many diseases that i deal with that don t have solutions. It s very frustrating. You don t have a treatment
Underscores their unfairness. If there was any case for such action after the capitol riots when trump was said to be encouraging violent extremism, it vanished during his six months out of office. Legally it will be hard for trump to prove that private companies can t set their own rules but politically it s indefenseable and the most appalling part is most of the mainstream media, the supposed champions of free speech are fine with the digital cancellation of trump because he s trump. They keep talking about donald trump all the time including on social media but are pleased that his mega phone continues to be confiscated. I m howard kurtz and this is media buzz.

Meanwhile, in arizona, another democrat fighting to protect voters, arizona secretary of state katie hobbs who has asked her state s republican vaccine averse attorney general to open up a criminal investigation into whether trump and his allies broke the law in their efforts to pressure maricopa county officials after the election. Hobbs has made it clear that fighting her state s sham fraudit isn t just about affirming the last election but preventing republicans from stealing the next one, which is exactly what they re now opening trying to do. While exporting more partisan sham reviews to other states like pennsylvania where a state senator who parti

Now we have the opportunity to actually do something about it, and senator manchin would rather preserve jim crow on some outdated theory of bipartisanship. Listen, i know he wants to protect democracy, but there will be no democracy if we don t protect the roeths to vote of all americans. With mitch mcconnell and other republicans holding on to their vow of total opposition to biden s agenda, it would seem bipartisanship is a pipe dream, but it won t stop chuck schumer from playing out his plan this week to win over those opposed to filibuster reform. This approach goes something like this. Put the issue front and center by forcing votes on a series of measures republicans vote, like insuring equal pay, gun safety, and gay rights legislation.
