bernstein to come to his dacha, which they did. they had an unforgettable time, bernstein reported.hey spoke about art and politics and music and all sorts of things. on the night of september 11th, that same evening at the tlul g thrilling conclusion of the shostakovich 5th sum ymphony, t composer embraced leonard bernstein. pastrnak went backstage and said to the composer you have taken us up to heaven. now we must return to earth. the philharmonic's visit to the soviet union was a dramatic moment in the history of cold war musical diplomacy. leonard bernstein had articulated, with great passion, his belief in classical music's power to reshape international relations. when the orchestra returned to the united states, they came down here to perform in washington for an audience of government officials and diplomats. bernstein gave a speech at the national press club. it reflected, i think, his extraordinary idealism. if military strength is a nation's right arm, he said, culture is the left arm, closer to the heart. you can always touch people with music. and then he linked this,

the conductor was leonard bernstein. and for leonard bernstein, art and politics were intertwined.s sure that classical music could strengthen the bonds among people across the world. bernstein was convinced that a superb orchestra could have a salitary impact on those who were made insecure by the east/west competition. bernstein was a musical universalist, par excellence. u.s. government officials thought very differently, though. they advocated in sending these orchestras overseas a form of musical nationalism. they believed that symphony orchestras could help the united states prevail in the east/west struggle. policymakers were convinced that a brilliant symphonic concert could fortify the nation's position with its allies and provide sonic ammunition that could be directed against its adversaries. it was hoped that people overseas would recognize that america could do more than make big budget hollywood movies or bloated automobiles for american suburbanites. as a result, symphony orchestras were sent across the world by the u.s. government in the belief that violins and trum

on telling host from bernstein thanks a lot for joining us on day to be business. now siemens has listed its energy business on the frankfurt stock exchange shares in siemens energy debuted slightly lower than expected valuing the company at 16000000000 euros some analysts had been expecting upwards of 20000000000 nevertheless the i.p.o. is germany's largest ever. some 91000 people worldwide work for siemens energy division it's the largest division in the company it's also the company's heavy weight when it comes to sales volumes as well. with almost 29000000000 euros in sales siemens energy is the concerns largest revenue generator of the divisions like digital industries smart infrastructure and mobility unnoticeably smaller. medical equipment division siemens health the news went public in 2018 and recently posted sales of 14 and a half 1000000000 euros. it's conventional power stations which generate electricity using fossil fuels siemens energy is also active in the wind power business through its majority holding in siemens commies or however that company is

it's like very different standards, but carl bernstein is a dummy. he's a dumb guy, and woodward's book last night, i read it. it's like lightweight reading and he doesn't get it. when my policies turn out to be right, as they have with israel, we're going to have a lot of other countries joining us very soon by the way. they are all going to go in and then we'll have peace in the middle east and we're doing it through the back door. they've never thought of it before with all this talk, they never thought of it before, and we're getting accolades even the new york times and tom friet man said that's great. that's great. they gave us, i don't know you can't get a better review than they gave us on this day like what we've done here and with no death. we haven't had death that has not been fighting in fact we're bringing our troops back home from the ridiculous endless wars they are all coming home, and they should be home. it's enough. they've been there for 19 years. in afghanistan for 19 years it's ridiculous. steve: mr. president -- president trum

professor bernstein. professor bernstein: i clerked for then-judge ginsburg on the wasn'trcuit judge, but i a typical law clerk and i didn't get the job in a typical late. in the fall of 1989, i was working for the d.c. circuit judge they staff attorney, writing memos for motions and pro se appeals. i was seven years out of law school, living with a 1-year-old insomniac. i got a call from r.b.g.'s chambers, the judge wanted to speak with me. the judge picked up the phone said she noticed my writing and wanted to know if i wanted to clerk for her. to my eternal mortification i didn't immediately say yes. instead, i wasn't sure i could work the hour she is expected of her clerks because i had a young child. what followed was a prolonged silence from the person who devoted years fighting for gender equality and parents. then she asked me, what are your hours like now? so i told her, i usually arrive around 8:30 in the morning and i have to leave by 5:30 to get to the day care center by 6:00 or where they sta

. >> of course, bob woodward along with carl bernstein became journalism legends in the 1970s. joining us now to discuss woodward's reporting is the other half of that dynamic duo, carl bernstein. always good to talk with you. when you have the president's own words on tape, of course, that was nixon's undoing, the fact that president trump even sat down with woodward, is it as if nixon had mailed you the tapes himself? are they that damning? >> they're worse than nixon's watergate tapes. what they reveal is a presidential felony on a scale we've never seen in this country before. we've never seen a president as trump has done here. ignore thele th and well being of the american people put his own re-election interests in front of his basic job, which is to protect the american people, and to protect the united states from enemies, foreign and domestic. this is an enemy he was warned about and we hear it on tape in a way we've never heard such an event before. and what does the president of the united states do? he decides that, okay, thousands of lives are going to be lost her

bernstein and ms. ha, if you can talk about whether or not you have been able to access or heard of other restaurants being able to access local relief funds and whether or not that is something you think would be helpful in terms of just getting through the really tough times that i think a lot of places are going to see. ms. ha? >> yeah, so thank you for that question, congressman. i will say that currently, i'm waiting to hear back from the local government's grant. it was very enticing because it is a grant, and it's relief that will be brought to us immediately if we can get it, so i'm in the process for that. so anything when i hear locally, whether it's state or local or federal aid that is offered that i qualify for or my business qualifies for, i do apply for that, and it is helpful when it's a grant where we don't have to worry so much about figuring out how to pay it back. at an interest rate or anything, just anything really to help us just continue to operate and keep our doors open and ou

bernstein what happened to the cox chancellor merkel's always being such a staunch supporter of the sector. well i think most answers in germany have always been sort of. she's indeed been very supportive or kind of 3 she answered the support for the car industry was a hole in you know the better electric movie in germany a company concepts that taxation is super favorable i think i wonder if doing a local the auto industry but just not scrapping for you know i don't think it would be healthy if the street little rock well where does it leave the industry. well the industry needs to change it needs to change to new power trains electric vehicles it needs to change it to dish legislation as any industry if you want industry in germany has been slow and part of the reason it's been slow was it's only protected by the government once really pointed out that they've been slow is his tesla tesla has left them in the rearview mirror the chinese are leading in the mobility have how many more signs do they need to realize that you bet on the old tank for too long well and just to add to the list t

and the legendary other half of wood ward and bernstein, abby phillip. gloria, the president's justification down playing the virus, didn't want to create panic. fear and he added today the last thing he wants to do is show fear. fear is the trump campaign's strategy. i mean, that is, you know, he told woodward himself for the last book real power is fear. that was the title of the last week. >> yeah, and he's running on fear in this campaign talking about the mobs in major urban areas, trying to -- >> so provoking fear and stirring fear is fine when it suits his ends? >> of course, totally. i don't buy the argument i didn't want to create panic. this is a president, it was very revealing to me today when he had his little press conference and he said leadership is about confidence. what he really meant, i think, if you read between the lines is he didn't want to appear to be weak. the worst thing you can tell donald trump is you're weak. he didn't want blame. what he was thinking about was they're going to blame me and i've got to get reelected and i do

and sonia bernstein, thank you so much.it was so inspiring to listen to you when you talk about what joy you get from serving people like that christine on, same thing. i want you to know that when you were speaking i was listening to you and looking at the faces of my colleagues and people were smiling listening to your story . and everything you sharedwith us and mario sandoval , thank you for making it clear that this is not just about the businesses which are so important but it's about the workers and there are so many people unemployed right now and the unemployment rate amongst restaurant workers is higher than any other industry in the country about and especially the catering area that's 8000 restaurants in catering on long island, hundred drthousand people involved in employment and the reaction to the coronavirus has been so uneven. right now grocery stores are doing great. online businesses are doing great. some restaurants have a lot of outdoor capacity and they're doing pretty well. take-out business is doing

one of the most tenacious and popular is the notion that woodward and bernstein, through their dogged reporting, brought down the corrupt presidency of richard nixon in 1974. another well-known media myth is the notion that walter cronkite is an on air assessment in the war of vietnam declared the united states military to be mired in stalemate in february of 1968. mired in stalemate. an assessment that supposedly swung public opinion in the united states against the war. another example of a media myth resolves around the famous photograph of the napalm girl. taken by an associated photographer named nick oot in june of 1972. the image showed the effects on civilians, particularly young children, of an errant bombing of their village in south vietnam. the photograph was supposedly so powerful and so vivid that it helped hasten an end to the vietnam war. and of course the media myth today, de jure is that surrounding william randolph hearst purported vow to furnish the war with spain. now this is an important anecdote. this is an important media myth to address and de bunk because if

bernstein. this is one of our most devoted readers. he knows what is wrong with every company inquiries inside took over. >> girls, delightful and cuba. stop. good send you prose poems about scenery but don't feel right spending your money. stop. there is no warrant cuba. stop. >> you provide the prose poems, i will provide the war. >> that's fine mr. cain. >> about the like that. i came to see about this campaign. >> the scene was clearly inspired by you finish the pictures and i will finish the war. what are we concluding what are we to conclude about this tale, about this anecdote, about this purported valve to furnish the war? it is almost certainly apocryphal. it is entirely without documentation. this is an anecdote that lives on, but it deserves relegation to the fake news museum of historical inaccuracy. . under scrutiny, the sale of hubris and of media power dissolves anne which is the fate of most media myths, but look at in detail and in context with other sources of information, examined. and as this tale of furnished the w

bernstein, long time new york see. the president goes to kenosha to focus on law enforcement, not jacob blake. what message is he sending here? >> that he is willing to see a real civil war in this country if it helps his re-election. we have had a cold civil war in this country for 20 years or so, trump was smart enough to exploit that cold civil war, get elected through his racist appeals and other means and now we are seeing him ignite this cold civil war, pouring fuel on the fire to stoke violence, a willingness to see americans die in the streets if it helps his chances for re-election. we've never had anything like this in our history where a president of the united states is willing to engage in this kind of conduct, and at the same time, he is doing all this through an unprecedented aauthoritarianism in which he has taken over the postal service, the scientific agencies that are responsible for our health. cms, the fda. he's prettioliticized the -- th are all instances of an american dictatorship that donald tr

joining us senior analyst with bernstein.irst, big props to you guys at bernstein for doing a ton of work when it comes to the data on vaccines and treatments you analyze everything and all time lines we need an hour for this interview. first tell us about the time line, second quarter of next year sounds a lot later than what a lot of people are talking about? >> yeah, this is before approval we expect emergency use authorization somewhere in late november to december that will hope the grounds for vaccination. these are people, exposure to elderly and folks on the frontline. so medical professionals and so forth. so there's about 17 million people who are considered to be employed in positions that exposes them to high-risk. 16 million additional ones considered to be elderly and dual risk. we think those will be vaccinated december to april or so enough safety data people will feel comfortable, fda will feel comfortable to say, fine, even if the risk isn't high, the vaccine is right for you at that point will open the floo

joining me is cnn political analyst carl bernstein with us. give us your reaction of what's a bombshell report here. >> this is really the smoking gun of a pervasively criminal presidency. we have a president of the united states who is a grifter. his family are grifters and this is the evidence it but more grievous and grotesque are the implications of the "the new york times" report. think you have to go back to a statement by eric trump that said, well, the son of the president, well, we don't rely on american banks. we have the funding out of russia. this points to the president's foreign entanglements for his own political purposes and his own financial good. this is an unraveling that we now need to do in the press and the congress of the united states to find out just how great a national security threat to this country our president is, particularly in his dealings with putin, with erdogan of turkey, this report shows is the pervasive ability of these countries to hold the president up and as a former national security director -- pard

after nixon resigned, so this is 1974, she wrote carl bernstein and myself a letter on yellow legal padre stationary than any 500 people in washington but she got, dear carl and bob, you wrote some of the stories in nixon is gone, do not start thinking -- do not think too highly of yourselves. i want to give you some advice. beware the demon pomposity. >> that's good advice. >> that's really important for us in our business. i pondered that, i consulted with elsa, john carp, the publisher and the top person at simon and schuster with my assistants and said, is this pompous or is this true? and the answer was, in everyone, it's true. you can't -- the whole business of trump is about running away from the truth. you cannot run away from the truth here because you've seen it. >> i was stunned by the quote that kushner gave to you, if you want to understand the president, you should look at the cheshire cat analysis in wonderland, if you don't know where you're going, any path will get you there. the fact that one of the president's closest advisers is intimating he doesn't know where he's

anna: i was looking up some comments from bernstein talking about how they have low interest rates that mean we see a continuation of share buybacks in the tech sector. that would continue to push the tech sector higher. my colleague sent me this. what is your expectation for low that feedates, will into the tech rally? that is something we heard from jay powell. the big change in the way they think about inflation. of course low interest rates for longer. be mindful. a addition, there is also time for sure buybacks. the challenge for companies and management is to do whatever is necessary to justify these valuation metrics. that becomes the real issue. cost controlt that of the information but also the share buybacks. eventually what we will observe is although volatility looking backward has to be extremely limited would trade going, volatility can only increase because of sensitivity to minor events, minor pieces of news. if you're at the company level, it can only go up. longer means that at some point they will have to slam the brakes to put it in a exaggerated way. but then sensit

which ultimately led to that day in the summer of 1974 when bob woodward and carl bernstein watched the president of the united states resign the presidency after the special prosecutor fully investigated the leads that were first developed in the reporting by carl bernstein and bob woodward reporting the change to the course of history. bob woodward's new book could change the course of history with the first excerpts of that appearing today, 55 days before election day. in an interview with the associated press today, bob woodward said that it was important to get this story out before the election. and so, with 55 days until election day, america is learning tonight that donald trump has admitted to playing down the seriousness of the coronavirus pandemic and that he has made that admission on tape, which bob woodward released to "the washington post" today, the woodward tapes have donald trump on february 7th, after a phone call with china's president describing how deadly the coronavirus was before any of us knew how bad it could be >> and so what was president xi saying yesterday

but i learned from my colleague carl bernstein 45 years ago, i remember we were talking, we spent a lotgether working on the nixon case, we'd sit in mcdonald's and have coffee and big macs and somebody was really angry about something and carl said, you know, anger is really pain. somebody is feeling pain. and, you know, i'm not a psychiatrist, i can't leap to that, but when i listen to trump on this and i reflected back on what carl had said, what's going on here? and then you connect it to this orwellian, well, the book's fine, no, it's a hit job, ju just -- you know, today, this morning, he acknowledged that he wanted to assassinate syrian president assad and that mattis then secretary of defense wouldn't let him or talked him out of it. i have in my first book two years ago "fear" exactly that scene where trump calls mattis and i can't use the language, but he says, you know, let's kill him. i mean, in a fury about -- and i understand the emotions, because he'd seen actual video of a sarin gas attack on women and children by assad. but what did mattis do, he said, oh, we'll get righ

with me now are a couple economists i love to check in with, jared bernstein, of course, who was joe biden's chief economic adviser for some time, douglas holtz aiken, a former chief economist during the bush administration. guys, we're a little short of time. i want to get at the nuts and bolts of this jobs report. jared, i'll start with you. unployment rate below 9%. that was a mild surprise, was it not? >> yeah, it was an upside surprise. a good number to see. i think one of the concerns that we're seeing now, this may have been underreported, is that we're seeing a shift from temporary unemployment, people on layoffs, to permanent unemployment. those shares have actually flipped in a very strong way. we're also seeing an increase in people being stuck on the unemployment rolls for 15 weeks longer. so great to see the unployment rate coming down. the pace of job gains has slowed, and it looks like we're kind of moving from temporary to permanent layoffs and longer term unemployment. that's the downside. all of this occurring in the absence of enhanced unemployment benefits which i

and their defense of anonymous sources, especially carl bernstein, he was eloquent in his defense of the anonymous sources, for example, he and bob woodward used when they essentially helped to get rid of president nixon during the watergate crisis. so i think that is an important point to make. i want to emphasize that point. it's time the media stood up. it's time the media told the truth. it's time the media went after the facts, despite the president's utter disregard for the facts. but to your question, this is extremely damaging to the morale and good order and discipline of the military to have the leader of that military, the commander in chief of the united states, of the military to make these kind of remarks. as to whether or not he made these remarks, i think that's no surprise. that actually is no surprise. this man has lied repeatedly. he will say anything to titillate his base. he will do anything it solidify his own hold on power, which worries me greatly with regard to the coming elections. and we've seen it. we've seen it raw right in front of us. i don't know how a

perspective now from carl bernstein. also, cnn chief political correspondent, dana bash. dana, the president saying this thing is a killer if it gets you. i mean, he knew how deadly it was. he continued to downplay the virus to the american people. and is back to having indoor rallies. it's -- i -- it defies understanding. i mean, it just defies any sense of responsibility. >> i have given up trying to figure out how to articulate exactly what you were just trying to do, anderson. and the really key point is that what jamie just showed, what bob woodward reports in his book, isn't ancient history. it's happening, as we speak. literally, as we speak, in arizona. where he is saying, you know, just even last month, there's nothing i could've done. no more could've been done. more could be done, as we speak. he could be not holding a rally like that. or even if he wants to hold a political event, do it outside. have people wear masks. this is happening, right now. so this isn't -- this isn't history. this is contemporaneous. and he could be changing it but he doesn't want to.

bernstein: totally transformed it. i remember toward the end of my me, what, she said to do you plan on doing after the clerkship? i said i might go back to the council's office. i got the silent. -- the silence. then she said, i think that would be a waste. i just felt like, ok then. i guess i will not be doing that. i ended up going to the equal opportunity employment being involved in employment termination cases for the next several years. -- employment discrimination cases for the next several years. i would always approach a case and think, what would the judge want? how would the judge look at this? it is almost like when you are in therapy and your therapist is always in your head, when you clerk for someone like justice ginsburg, she is in your head for life. most immediately, the year after i clerked with her, i worked for justice brennan on the supreme court and i was a much better clerk than i would have been had i not clerked with justice ginsburg. he really should have sent her a gift basket. [laughter] m

. >> after nixon resigned, so this is 197, she wrote carl bernstein and myself a letter on a yellow legal pad. she had more stationary than any 500 people in washington, but she -- dear bob and carl, you wrote some of the stories and nixon is gone. do not start thinking -- do not think too highly of yourselves. i want to give you some advice. beware the demon pompocity. >> that's good advice. >> that's really important advice for us in our business and all other businesses. so i pondered that. i consulted with elsa, john carp, the publisher and the top person at simon & schuster with my assistants and i said, is this pompous or is this true? and the answer was from everyone, it's true. you can't -- the whole business of trump is about running away from the truth. you cannot run away from the truth here because you've seen it. >> i was stunned by the quote that kushner gave to you, saying that if you want to understand the president, you should look at the chesire cat. if you don't know where you're going, any path will get you there. the fact that one of the president's closest advisers i

right after post- watergate era i can remember the young reporter myself wanted to be woodward and bernstein to unearth a scandal so he took the brunt of that also the style section of the "washington post" and sally invented the style section gotcha profile which she made fun of origin me carter for his southern culture. i was rather sympathetic to your portrait of them as that. >>guest: he is coming off of a high, the most famous journalist walter cronkite to do an exclusive radio interview with him in the white house but he made a series of miscalculation miscalculations. not bringing the american press more into the camp david story although there was enormous access that i discovered to my surprise doing stunts that were ill advised, his card again sweater it just didn't work. going back to the staff leve level, hamilton and jody powell specifically snubbed martha graham, declining invitations, refusing to return phone calls. that cannot be a good idea for the administration who wants to be transparent and breath of fresh air. anything he tripped on his own good intentions. but look bac

so, there you have an earer bob woodward and an earlier carl bernstein. funnily, his voice sounds the same. but on the substance of thatys point, he eporters have no stake in proving guilt, that they're just after the truth.or t least that was how they approached watergate. as someone who been in the trenches, i mean, is that your experience, do you think? is that what good reporters do, do, that they're after the truth rather than an outcome? >> i certainly thinks what a good reporter does, but i don't think that's what we get a lot of now. going back to what i was saying earlier, it's -- it's not just about thtruth. certainly, that has to be a top priority for them. but it's also about not tainting the truth or swaying the way that a reader looks at a story one way or anothe they shouldn't be pushing one version higher than another. >> let me ask you a different qution about bob woodward. this is the quote heard 'round the world. president trump said to bob woodward, quote... if you are white house press secretary during the coronavir at the outbreak, a

president's men, the true story of how intrepid washington post reporters bob woodward and carl bernsteins president to resign from office. besides being exceedingly well crafted, each film delivers the same promise of hope to a different generation of americans reeling from trauma. mr smith goes to washington came at the end of the great depression, a decade of poverty and disillusionment in the american system. while all the president's men was a response to a profound loss of faith in american institutions, following both watergate and the vietnam war. the films succeed because they engage with our darker impulses, but still provide uplifting conclusions. right now, political tensions in the us are boiling over, which makes these films more relevant than ever. political films can motivate the populace. mr smith goes to washington came out in 1939. that inspired a lot of people to go into politics, because at the end of the day, it was seen as idealistic — even though i don't personally think that it really was. but we will put a pin in that. and then all the president's men inspires al

there is a piece of research i'm looking at and i genuinely like it, a bernstein piece, upgrade, holdervalued the sole e-commerce demand aggregator, undervalued, were skeptical about one-day shipping talks about how he didn't see the fulfillment capacity and the flywheel nature of prime i think it's great that a guy comes in, uses the breakdown to put the money to work and say, listen, it's time. sometimes it's just really good to own up and admit that you didn't get it right but now you got the break and you're bringing your mind i like that. >> yeah. e-commerce is permanently inflected and everyone is being treated like a winner. >> yes david, are you going to inflect today? i inflected over the weekend when the eagles lost i don't know, carl, i really feel like that these -- that faang got buried yesterday, everyone decided faang was dead again. i find as i always say to davie because i'm a soony sales fan, faang is back. >> faang is back, okay. >> when faang is your safe haven asset, jim, look what peloton and zoom and docusign did yesterday in a pretty rough tape. >> yeah, i mean

carl bernstein, the other half of that famous team that brought down the nixon presidency with their so doing changed journalism forever. carl bernstein said these trump tapes, the woodward tapes were were far more explosive and would be far more impactful historically than the nixon tapes ever were because so many people died as a result of what donald trump admitted to on these tapes. i'm curious as somebody who lived through watergate and now is living through this, do you agree with carl bernstein? >> i do. i think what the tapes do in a bold and dramatic fashion, they prove that we have a president who is a liar and is willing to kill americans. and you can't say it more plainly than that. he's killing americans with his lies. thousands and thousands of people died because donald trump wanted to lie about the dangers of this disease and how it was spread. now, he's going to spin this, which is unbelievable to me, with a straight face, saying to america, i didn't want anybody to panic. he's running a campaign based on fear and panic. his entire campaign is about making americans

each one and you can make all kinds of comparisons nixon, the first president i covered with carol bernstein and clearly he was a criminal president and the republican party turned on the nixon and he was forced to resign when goldwater went to the oval office and said they counted the republicans and you only have four of food - - votes nine and i democratic party and one of those is not me. the next night nixon announced he was resigning. each one is different. almost 1000 people are dying every day. and then to describe the things that need to be done if trump would you say everybody should wear a mask in and say it is optional and then gives the rallies where thousands of people are packed together without masks. what the hell is going on? when i did the first book on trump name to fear i said it's a nervous breakdown of the executive branch but what do you call it now? i call it that's almost man put to sleep us on - - a thousand deaths. 200,000 deaths. we need a wake-up call to the populace. it is in a political issue. it's a practical issue in a moral issue. >>host: i was going to ask
