i want to bring in carl bernstein.s is a claim we ahead from the evidence over and over again what are you hearing? >> that he's intention a waging a scorched earth campaign in the final days, the likes of which we have never seen, and it could ben unthinkable. it undermines and cast doubt, so he can claim if he seems to be losing but also kamala harris, her family, others, as well as attempts to get the attorney general of the united statesia initiate arrest -- literally arrest members of the biden family, perhaps obama administration official. he's also in a rage about all of this, just barking out orders to people around him to accomplish some of these outrageous things i don't think he's been wishy-washy about it. ther the republican senators on the hill would have to go to trump and tell him you cannot challenge this election. you cannot challenge these results, because he is setting up an apparatus and methodology in which he intends to prolounge the count that's part of his strategy so there might not be a major

let's bring in cnn's congressional correspondent, phil mattingly, and political analyst, carl bernstein. good evening, one and all. both of you. so, phil, breaking news, tonight, regarding north carolina senator thom tillis. what can you tell us about that? but, hang on one second. phil, i have some breaking news for you. i think that you want to get to it, right? from the president of the united states. do you have that? >> do i, personally? i do not have that but i have seen kayleigh mcenany's tweet about the latest update from the -- oh, are you talking about the president's tweet? or the tweet by the doctor? >> no, the president's tweet. i was going to get to you about thom tillis but since it's up, i'll just let you respond. the president says it's going well, i think. thank you all. love. that's the president's latest tweet at 11:30 p.m., this evening. go on, phil. >> that's the way you conclude all of your tweets as well. love. i also think kayleigh mcenany has a tweet out from the doctor, too. but quickly, i will update you. senator thom tillis, who was at the nomination of amy

carl bernstein is next with us.25 years, masimo has been monitoring patients in hospitals around the world so that doctors and nurses can make sure you feel safe. as new challenges have arisen, we've grown to bring that same safety and support to the place that you want to be most. together. masimo. together in hospital. together at home. >>> president trump is whack in the white house this morning after four days in the hospital. for anyone expecting a changed president trump or an epiphany after his brush with grave illness, that's not what they got last night. here was the bottom line, senior political analyst, carl beern steen. carl, great to have you. help us understand what's happening this morning and what we saw last night. >> we are in the midst of an unprecedented physical and mental presidential health crisis such as we have never seen, certainly in our lifetimes and probably never before in this country at such a dire moment. that scene on the balcony last night for all who witnessed it was not watching

let's bring back carl bernstein. and joe alan joins us now, as well.ou know, carl, it's interesting. you heard what dr. gupta said. that it seems they are trying this kitchen-sink approach. neither of us are doctors, but the question is where is the transparency in all of this? we need -- the american people deserve transparency. >> absolutely. there's no question about it. and in terms of the stability of our country. and -- and also, how foreign countries are looking at us. and -- and how they are going to take action in terms of is there a threat to those countries by a hostile power that might come and try to take advantage of us during this terrible period? transparency is always the answer. but we got to ask ourselves why isn't there transparency? and, of course, it always comes back to the same question with donald trump. even at this terrible moment with his hospitalization. it comes back to -- >> carl, i need to interrupt you because i want to get -- i want to get some breaking news in. we are getting some information, now, that trump's campai

this is not a transparent administration, and as carl bernstein said, this is consistent with the way've not only handled the entire presidency but the way they've handled this pandemic. it's been one cover-up after another. and the problem is, that cover-up has killed many americans and put many more in danger. and now it's infected the president himself. this is a national security crisis for us that we can't trust our president, and it doesn't speak well of his effect on the government as a whole that these government doctors are coming out and being evasive and participating in the deception that leaves us wondering what is the state of affairs. there's something particularly malevolent about trump going to a fundraiser while knowing either that he had covid-19 or was in danger of getting it because he had to take a test and was concerned that it might come back public. and i think that is a microcosm of the entire presidency. a self-dealing malevolence where other people's health and safety comes second to what he views as his political interests. and the american people deserve

carl bernstein, the one and only, next. one day we'll look back and remember the moment that things, for one strange time in our lives, got very quiet. some lost work and invented new ways to get by. others were busier than ever, and found strength they never knew they had. we sheltered with the people who matter most, sometimes finding how far apart we'd drifted. we worried over loved ones, over money, over our planet. and over take-out. and we found a voice one the noise out there had kept quiet. when the world starts spinning again, let's remember this time where none of us felt secure, and fight for a future where everyone can. because when the world seems like it's standing still... that's the perfect time for us to change it. keeping your oysters growing while keeping your business growing has you swamped.

with me now is karl bernstein, our cnn political analyst, journalist and author. karl, nbc says that if they move the event to a different time slot, they would be violating their agreement to give both candidates the same platform. i know you see it differently, so explain to us how you see it. >> well, first of all, it's nonsense. the idea of the debates and the town halls going back to john kennedy, richard nixon, first presidential debates is to give the people of the america, the voters, the largest possible audience to see these two candidates and what they have to say and to serve the democratic electoral process. and what nbc has done here is indefensible. it could easily show this debate and schedule it for later in the evening. it could re-run it later in the evening. it could tape it, delay it, but what they have chosen to do, nbc, is to be conned by donald trump, and that is what has really raised the most serious journalistic questions and the reason that so many people who work at nbc and msnbc are so set by what nbc has done here, capitulating to do

carl bernstein joins us now to talk about this. his own doctor's admission -- >> let 'bess clear, this is the ultimate trump coronavirus cover-up, in using his doctors shamelessly to perpetuate a cover-up. we have to call it what it is. this is the second big cover-up. the first cover-up was you have the seriousness of the pandemic itself, as he told my colleague bob woodward. he didn't want the country to panic, and that was the reason not to give the country the real science underneath. he's ignored masks. he's ignored his scientists. he's ignored the safety of the american people, and now at the most critical moment of a national security emergency, in generations, in really the modern history of the presidency in some ways, he is directing a cover-up so we know almost nothing about his real condition, when he contracted the virus -- whether or not he really is capable of executing the duties of the presidency, as he goes through this experience. we are this the da-- in the dar because he wants us in the dark. >> we still don't

vincent chen with bernstein.l us what your concerns are about the pfizer and bioentech vaccines >> thanks for having me. pfizer spoke repeatedly having of data in october and we've yet to see data and there's a concern whether this could be a concern relative to investor expectations and pfizer's previous commentry the concern is if the vaccine is highly effective, then you're likely to have data readout early. if there's lots of infections in placebo groups and nobody gets infected in the vaccine group you can look at the data and declare early on if the efficacy is more middling or not efficacious, you need to let the trial run longer and if we are indeed seeing a delay in the pfizer trial this could suggest that the vaccine's efficacy is lower than what we thought and the odds of success may be lower as well to dimensionalize the numbers going into the trial, many experts would have estimated maybe three-quarters of success and potentially 80% efficacy we would estimate that we're look at 60% to 70% efficacy a

the by japanese very unusual in that he didn't go out really camping in the traditional sense of bernstein is more like going back to the days in the 1920 s. you know hardy and some of those who basically some of the front porch didn't go anywhere but he was relying on some campaign strategists who told him just like rotavirus let truck to feed himself and i think actually the last week or 2 that could have been the back fire on them because i think the president has done but better in the last couple weeks i think he did very well in the last debate i think some of the things he's done the last few days of an important. what i'm really appalled with larry is the absence of the media attention at all to the the the laptop of his son hunter biden and all those e-mails that are on it now i realize it is you know in politics and so forth but i am convinced this is not anything to do russian disapprobation and what's appalling is already asking about it and also even more appalling is what they had hearings on here recently with regard to facebook and twitter and they're just their decisions o

president's men, the true story of how intrepid washington post reporters bob woodward and carl bernsteinich led to richard nixon becoming the first ever us 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

anonymous showing up, the news media was eager -- the washington post 1972 said to woodward and bernstein don't look into next in, just ignore it. history would be different. i am just suggesting to you trump made mistakes but for pete's sake any president who face the pandemic on this scale would have made mistakes and most of those mistakes were in concert with public health experts. i did a podcast with doctor u fauci and he reassured me this was not a pandemic, this was something like stars. let's be clear, trump worked with people who made mistakes, so has the head of great britain, the head of france. the chinese make mistakes, they kill you if you say that or they simply censor you and the result is they have a different record because nobody has a clue what is going on. >> what states are you watching in the final days, the final 5 days? >> tried to watch 12 states. really interesting, in philadelphia, the mistake of fracking and energy sealed the deal. look at michigan, look at wisconsin where the most recent survey said trump was 17 points behind, put up $1,000 to anybody's favo

fraser jenkins from bernstein says that is not the case.vate equity is actually more correlated with the public market. just the opacity of the strategies in the longer timeline make it seem immune to the cycle but it's closely aligned with the credit cycle. they also say that 2020 could have been the year of private equity, but instead, deal volume remains pretty depressed through the first half of the year and this is when private equity really should have been swooping in, taking advantage of the fall in asset prices. manus. bet, it'sther popular on volatility. is it expensive? how do i benchmark expensive volatility? is atvolatility, the vix a seven week high, but if you want to buy options, betting that volatility will go higher is not expensive. the expensive bet right now is actually betting that volatility will fall from here. vix is call ratio on the on a 14 year high, pretty remarkable when we think about what's coming up. the election on the horizon. vixlikelihood is that the will fall after the election and that's when investors

the washington post in 1972 said of woodward and bernstein, don't look into nexen -- nixon. trump has made mistakes, but for pete's sake, any president who faced a pandemic on this scale would have made mistakes and most of those were in concert with health experts. podcast with dr. fauci in early february and he reassured me this was not a pandemic. this was something like sars. let's be clear, trump worked with people who often made mistakes. when you deal with change of this scale, you're going to make mistakes. so has the head of great britain, france, spain, italy. nevertheless, everyone has made mistakes except for the chinese. the chinese don't make mistakes because they kill you if you say that. the result is they have a totally different record because nobody has a clue what's going on. which states are you watching in the final five days? mr. gingrich: i try to watch about 12 states, but i would say the interesting ones are pennsylvania and i don't know what the riots are going to do in philadelphia. my hunch is that the mistake on fracking and energy probably seal

post-watergate era where i can remember as a young reporter myself we all wanted to be woodward and bernstein honor some scandal. carter was in the brunt of that and he had he was also the birth of this Ãbunder ben bradley and his soon-to-be wife sally quinn and sally sort of invented the style section got your profile in which she really made fun of poor jimmy carter particularly for his southern culture. i was rather sympathetic to your portrait of him as that. >> i think he started off on high he got the most famous journalist in the united states walter cronkite to do an exclusive radio interview with him in the white house. but he made a series of miscalculations i think, even in his greatest moment not bringing the press the american press into more into the camp david story as it was playing out, although the israeli press had enormous access to the story as i discovered to my surprise. also doing some stocks that were probably ill advised, his retreat to rethink his administration, his cardigan sweater you spoke about the washington post, hambleton durden and jody powell specifically
