The GOP governors enforcing mask mandate bans as the delta variant hits Southern schools

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the dizzying spread of the COVID-19 delta variant, and its harsh impact on many public school systems in the South, as some GOP governors push to enforce bans on mask mandates in schools. Next, Rep. Pete Aguilar joins us on the Jan. 6 select committee planning to request lawmaker phone records, and what this could mean for particular GOP members of Congress. Plus, MSNBC analyst Malcolm Nance speaks out on the Afghanistan evacuation, telling Joy Reid, "I think we'll beat 100,000 people by the end of next week. I look forward to hearing those naysayers tell us that this was the worst military disaster in history." Finally, in this edition of "The Absolute Worst," Joy critiques Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as his administration has yet to apply for up to $820 million in federal food assistance for more than 2 million Florida children. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
