since turning to harold. why do you call what he referred to the endless battle between the white house and the media. why is it an endless battle. harold: because all of our presidents, they go back to george washington. and even in the valley. when when there was a distance between the president and the press, no press conferences. no scrubs. as washington was headed to for the helicopter to go to the golf course. no press secretary. the student partisan progress but in the way resembled the television dichotomy between msnbc "fox news". for the extremes of liberal and white wing media on the internet. so at the beginning, washington established the special relationship with federalist journalists and editors who were friendly to his administration and this policy. and sort of to top anything that we hear about today, about leaks. the displeased the current president . george washington had a cabinet member, thomas jefferson. who have the highest rank of the cabinet to secretary of state. he actually helped

another magazine that harold wrote.edy twisted his arm but it did vindicate in reader's digest, he got his story. >> another thing about the new yorker and the war years was the so-called pony addition appeared and a smaller addition which is available the key thing and driving up circulation hersey has this relationship with Ãincredibly on the pt 109 piece. then what happens? how does it get to japan? how does he break through the walls of the cover-up? >> one should never assume the first lesson of life. [inaudible] i was initially a very bad journalist, i chastise myself publicly for that right now. hersey's hiroshima has this feeling of it expose. i assumed it was him getting in and getting out somehow unilateral because of the reporters had made a run of the story that way. they went there crazily length he has mixed feelings about hiroshima, nagasaki you think is a total criminal action. he knows he's going to cover the bomb but he doesn't know exactly how just yet. then he has lunch with william sean and they tal

i would just say something to harold, i miss talking with harold, i appreciate what he said about me,got to think about these people are sending their children to catholic schools, christian schools and their sending them into dead polls -- i don't think so. i think they're taking the right precautions and there's another side of the equation here. i just don't think that the teachers unions and joe biden and democrats appreciate what kind of damage is being done to children. this will be a whole year socially, academically, mentally, emotionally to say nothing about the parents. this is real damage that's being done and it's very consequential and for the teachers union to turn its back on kids in this way, maybe it's a turning point. people are starting to figure out some of what's going on in schools isn't so good anyway and this kind of behavior, abandonment of the field is -- i think people have to become accountable for it. >> bret: is the biggest story we cover as far as a reaction we get -- it touches so many people's lives across the country. when we come back, the fight over

that harold despised. and i don't know how kennedy twisted his arm but he did syndicate in reader's digest so kennedy got his mass publication of that story after all for his son. >> if you click footnotes another thing about the new yorker in those war years is what was the so-called phony edition which appeared in a smaller addition which was available to servicemen. it was key in driving up its circulation and making it more important for the guys coming home who would buy it in 1946 . hershey has this relationship with sean on the pt 109 piece and then what happens? how does it get to japan and how does he break through the walls of the cover-up? >> like i said, one should never assume. it's the first lesson of not just journalism but life. >> is a line in a burn movie too. she said never assume. >> i was initially a very bad journalist. i can't find myself publicly for that right now but because hiroshima does have this story it has all the feeling of anexpose . i assumed that it was in getting in and

marc thiessen and harold ford jr. great to have you with us. harold, let's go to you. your thoughts on what we're seeing in michigan. what you think is the most important friction point as these candidates look at joe biden and president trump today. >> well, first of all, thanks for having me on. probably a lot. as i listen to the president tonight, he seems to be not arguing like most people running for re-election argue about our future, a new vision. the washington journal wrote about it. there seems to be a lack of a focus there. he talks about some undesired path and a current present, mane street, businesses closing up and hurting, health care very expensive. the crime he talks about, these things are happening now. i think joe biden -- i'd book t woodward and continue to focus on what he focused on yesterday, ways to build the country back stronger. how do you plan for the future. you're not going to beat donald trump what he's doing this evening. it's entertaining, fun to listen to. reality t very-like but not presidential. if i was were joe biden, i'd stay pr

harold, what do you think?know, i think tomorrow -- i would differ little bit in kimberly's paper today, this debate won't impact them. 30% believe or suggest that it might. i think that number is high when you think about how we suggest and surmise in political circles about how many people may be undecided or could be moved. i wish that editorial page in the most are eternal, which i think may be the most powerful, would ask for donald trump to relieve all of the conversation and release his tax returns. we will have to wait and see if he does that. i don't disagree with the general principle made about where we go on with the reaction may be. we need to hear from both of these candidates. if biden is thrown off by trump, if trump is able to do and take some of the personal shots, it may impact biden, but again, i end where i started earlier tonight, whoever lays out an economic vision, whoever lays out a health care vision, and i didn't mean to cut you off, i just think whomever does that first and most effe

harold, go ahead. caller: i talk to a lot of police officers through the years and a lot of the fatal police shootings are due to the way they are trained, coming down from the top, the mayor supervisors, district attorney and everyone else, they are taught to shoot if they are going to pull a gun, because of liabilities and settlements, and liabilities, they have to pay more so they are shot to -- they are taught to shoot twice in the torso and one in the head. this is what i've heard from a lot of officers. down just -- this comes from the top and so much of this is getting laid out on the officer. code because they have a that they probably don't want to say but that is the way it is, that they are trained at the academy to shoot like that if they will draw their weapons, because they do not want a liability. the city does not want a liability. host: harold in california, think you. guest: here's what's about that. say ife officer did you're going to pull your gun, you don't do it to brandish it or

harold, how big a deal do you think this book is? >> i don't know. not in dispute. first, the national security advisor told the president that this was going to be the biggest threat he faced -- his deputy national security advisor said this moment was on par. this is back in january. this is on par with the pandemic over a hundred years ago. hundred 90,000 people have died. these things are not in dispute. i don't disagree that the president probably did not want to panic the country, but i think part of that motivation for not wanting to panic the country was to not -- not wanting to panic the economy. and thinking about his own reelection, i will put my own editorial on that. if i think this presidency, or whether or not this presidency will continue won't necessarily handle all of the things [indiscernible] in this book. a tough week, but what it will hinge on is how we move and how we proceed from here. i thought biden to the right thing of responding as he did, but i thought he did a better thing about being in michigan, talking about building

for more let's bring in harold pollack advancer at the university of chicago who specializes in health policy and access to health care in america thank you for your time sir now the reason we want to talk about health care is because joe biden's aides are saying that he is going to link this supreme court appointment and the need to wait until after the election to the pandemic and to health care for our viewers who may not understand why can you explain how that connection might be made. well so the affordable care act which is sometimes called obamacare is the centerpiece that provides health insurance for millions of people in the united states and it is currently under legal assault and there is a court case that may invalidate the law. and if that were true that would actually remove health coverage for you know many millions of americans and also and also call into question the protections that many americans have who want to buy health insurance and who have preexisting health conditions and who you know health insurance companies if they were allowed to charge people more mone

it was taken by a photographer named harold roberts.everyone loved this picture but he took this picture with a speed graphic camera, and those cameras only had two negatives you could load at any one time. he takes the picture, gets ready to reload, and the prisoner punches the guard in the face. harold roberts is always upset he missed that picture, he thought it would have been even greater than the picture he took. >> this is emily mary lakeman, one of the archives'poster women. this is a photograph of her taken after she was involved in the longest death march in the war, a group of mostly jewish women were marched hundreds of miles over six months. they ended up in a tiny barn in volare, czechoslovakia. they were liberated in the barn. a signal corps photographer took her picture days after she was found and he asked the women, does anyone have a photograph of themselves before the holocaust, so we can compare the two photographs? she happened to have a photograph of herself that she had carried in her shoe. that is her on the rig

but things like that and otherwise harold was a maniac for a granular accuracy and argue for hours if it is a doorway or a doorframe. >>host: something that still goes on. so after hiroshima, the career goes on but he doesn't write quite anything of this significance or scale again. >> now. ironically he felt he could tell stories more effectively in nonfiction. so he writes many novels after hiroshima and the interesting and social conscience novels. i feel like he will be we discovered if not just for the sheer content alone. and good reporting that went into his fictional work. but you are right. >> we don't have a lot of time left i could talk about this and definitely not long ago is that and then to be part of this that what i was a witness to. already a young editor at the magazine when that took place. it was the beginning of a new hyper scrutiny which is part of the moment we're living in now. and the was that you had a much broader license to collate with out maniacally crediting the sources at every moment. >> even though. >> if they emerge but they do include many of the r

without getting overly righteous about it, the first presidential election that this country every harolder held without any form of legalized apartheid was in 1968. think about that for a second, 1968 after the voting rights act of 1965. i think one of the great stories of the age, parenthetically, is when george wallace ran for president for the united states in 1968 he carried five states and won 13.5 percent to 13.5% of the popular votes, what got us from 13.5% of the popular vote Ãb because when you look at the essential rhetoric, look at published speeches between wallace and trump, that is a continuum. there is a great social reckoning that needs to happen to understand how 13.5%. >> caller: it's really a pleasure to speak with you i've read many of your books, and heard of john lewis when i transferred to cdc i was fired from the federal government, transferred to cdc halfway through my career and 89 and i was jealous because i had gingrich and all these other cool people and atlanta has john lewis. i first really started reading about it when i saw a friend of mine that gave me t
