Zorah Aziz’s husband has been trying to leave Afghanistan for days, dealing with distressing conditions at the airport to no avail. But as she sat down to speak with @mehdirhasan, she had some good news to share:

Former State Dept. official @MatthewPHoh says you can’t separate the war in Afghanistan from the other wars the U.S. is still involved in.
“It’s the same institutions and individuals that are running these wars, and it’s the same lies basically that keep these wars sustained.”

A tale of 3 crises:
-The last American troops depart Afghanistan
-Tropical Storm Ida ravages Louisiana
-New Covid projections: 100k more Americans could die from now to Dec. 1
@mehdirhasan covers it all tonight at 7p ET on @peacockTV and YT: youtube.com/uDf1-MJNjk8

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would @djrothkopf grade the Biden Administration’s evacuation effort in Kabul?
“A 7 or an 8,” he tells @MehdiRHasan, “I think they’ve been very successful under very tough conditions.”

COVID-19 is complicating the Hurricane Ida response. What if the storm were barreling toward Florida?
@CharlieCrist calls out Gov. DeSantis’ leadership.
“If we had this storm hitting Tampa Bay,” he tells @MehdiRHasan, “we wouldn't have places to put people.”

If Gov. Gavin Newsom loses the recall election, Democrats won’t just lose the California governorship. @danpfeiffer says it could bring President Biden’s “agenda to a screeching halt.”

The California recall process is… bizarre. And worse yet, @danpfeiffer delves into how “it gives the very small Republican minority in this state disproportionate power.”

Mike Pompeo is trying to rewrite history with Afghanistan. But don’t worry, we use the magic of TV to set the record straight.

Meet Larry Elder! He’s a conservative media personality with ties to Trump’s immigration architect, Stephen Miller, who’s now facing accusations of domestic violence. And, oh yeah, he could soon be the next Republican governor of California.

“I miss Trump.” That’s Shafiq Hamdam’s take after seeing how Biden has handled the Afghanistan withdrawal. Hear him explain why:

“He’s certainly a coward.”
@shafiqhamdam, who used to work as deputy senior adviser to former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, had strong words about his former boss being on one of the first planes out:

Is the governor of California about to get... recalled?
@danpfeiffer tries to answer that question and what the implications could be if it actually happens. Again.

Trump’s former White House Press Secretary, Kayleigh McEnany says that when The Donald “was president, you didn’t see crisis after crisis.”
Really Kayleigh? @mehdirhasan has the mini-est of mini-rants:

Isn’t there a word for millions of Palestinians being ruled by a foreign state and not being able to choose their own government? 🤔
@YousefMunayyer: “Yes, it’s apartheid.”

.@mehdirhasan: How do you explain the lack of outrage about far-right Israeli leaders and the idea of ‘Progressive Except for Palestine’?
@DrShushan: “If you believe you are progressive, that should be universal and that includes the issue of Palestine.”

The House finally passed the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, but with no Republican votes.
@mehdirhasan has a reminder that even if they stood up to Trump, “Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, and Mitt Romney are not your friends.”

If you think the SCOTUS must have 9 justices, think again. It’s not stipulated in the Constitution, and it’s varied through history.
@mjs_DC says it’s distressing that “so many Democrats still don’t seem to have the language to describe this court as a rogue and lawless body.”

If it took 5 attempts for ex-adviser to the U.S. in Afghanistan @ahmadsmohibi’s family to be able to get into the Kabul airport. Imagine how difficult it must be for other families without connections.
“It’s a total catastrophe, a human crisis.”
