and that tracks president trump it he's somebody that struck by stars bob woodward is the investigative journalist of record frankly for 9 presidents and what was fascinating about the book if you read it larry it wasn't bob woodward just initializing the calls of the president gave bob woodward his cell phone number and he was also calling bob woodward late into the evening at his home to talk with him so it was a total of 18 times approximately 18 hours worth of interviews. and you know it's literally like the president created his own october surprise on himself and he had tapes and the tapes have to be of him self and he turned them over to bob woodward that's what it actually reads like and that's what it looks like he also told bob woodward that he does not on the stem the anger and pain of black americans he feels no responsibility for it no association then that surprise you or not. it did surprise me because he lived here in new york like you lived in brooklyn and i lived out here on long island and it just demonstrates a lack of empathy or a lack of feeling for other human beings and you

recordings of the president or hurtful as well but i think you know of bob 7750 plus years as the investigative journalist he finishes the book by basically saying a distillation of his interviews and his fact finding the president is not fit donald trump doesn't have the right personality for that office and so i think that's something that i believe is something that jim mattis believes general kelly believes rex tillerson believes h.r. mcmaster is coming out with a book next week on sure we should try to get him on politicking i mean he's got a lot to say about this as well you've got a circle of sycophants around the president now that will probably do and say whatever he wants but if you just look at his decision making and you look at the bill to cost city of his rhetoric and you look at the impetuosity of what he's doing i think is very very dangerous and i think that responsible people that i work for him it's miles taylor at the department of homeland security people like myself or at least trying to offer a patriotic warning to our fellow citizens who i know him for 40 years i still can't figure

position to that community that is emergency on the people who have the man's mindset of the investigative journalistable to teach others to really enjoy that moment when you find a new piece of evidence. anyway, that's one of the greats things of a and a journalist. and certainly am optimistic. david: can i just mentioned that in your own book. you have come up with the near future scenario. i don't want to spoil it here . in which a deep fake is sophisticated enough to fool a lot of people in the short term. in the actually doesn't matter the purposes of the papers with the forensic evidence along shortly thereafter. maybe this thing is even true. that they have achieved their goal simply by causing people to believe it or believe it might be possible. even for just a few minutes. let's not solved. david: i was thinking about that problem. i put to you the conclusion that i have come to an you tell me if i am being naÏve here. in this world were so easy to manipulate and create false information that appears to be real . the value of the truth . no quotation marks, that truth. reliable actions. inf

us co-host and investigative journalist ben swan ben we know the lines outside of the food banks that we can't hide those have been reaching record levels and yet the numbers show that poverty lines that have somehow fallen why are these numbers not whining here . yeah there's a couple of reasons for it one of the reasons for it is because even though the federal reserve says hey really inflation is not a problem we don't have an issue with this right now where they're not taking into account is what's happening with real people so as you said the cost of a lot of essential goods have gone up a lot we all know that right so if you go to the grocery store you buy milk you buy eggs you buy toilet paper you know that the cost of those items is much higher than it was we also know that if you e-commerce shop for that on places like amazon even companies like amazon themselves have greatly increased the price for that but even though that has been happening what's happening is the federal reserve is not really taking that in with to account when they look at inflation and they're also miss

the us are totally always advocated and joining us now to discuss this boom bust co-host investigative journalist ben swan who's been following this story but i want to start with these new regulations what specifically do they do. yes centrally it's different departments of the chinese government it is the science department it is the technology department and it is the commerce department and essentially the 3 of them have new regulations involving different areas including computing data processing technology as well as text analysis content recommendation speech modeling and voice recognition brant you and i would know that as every bit of technology that goes into a social media company right and so what they did is it the centrally created new rule saying if you are a chinese company you cannot sell that technology without approval from the chinese government that's really the bottom line here you know up until these new restrictions were actually and now it's tic-tac was saying that announcement for their north american sale would be announced within days or within a couple of days some ev

and investigative journalist button swan but in this report it's pretty critical of amazon's behavior what specific examples are listed in it. you know there's a couple of pretty interesting ones one for instance is like a company like clorox for instance one example given clorox was selling the canister of 75 disinfectant wipes they were selling it on amazon for $37.95 on august 11th you can compare that though to that same canister being sold at wal-mart and target on amazon clorox was selling it for 8 times the amount they were selling it at wal-mart and target on the same day 4 but what's really interesting about this isn't the 3rd party sellers it's amazon itself in fact the report found that the highest percentage increases in products actually came from items that were quote sold by amazon for instance they give the example of a 50 pack of disposable facemasks that cost around $4.00 before kobe 1900 amazon about a 3rd party seller amazon was selling them for $40.00 so essentially what we're talking about here is remember you know i believe in free markets you know that i believ

greece and turkey into their worst crisis since 1974 joining us now just a little bustos investigative journalist ben swan ben i use that word crisis is that a fair assessment of what is actually happening here. i think it is a fair assessment when you consider the fact that it's not just a war of words it's not just war over sanctions but you literally have turkey bringing warships along with those gas and oil exploration vessels into the mediterranean sea and essentially have 3 kind of issues at play here you have. greece you have turkey and you have cyprus and you have war planes and you have war vessels in the ocean or in the mediterranean sea surrounding each other and they're almost in a war game scenario again as oil exploration takes place it's more than just an argument over words or argument over a space it really could escalate into something else that the center of it as you heard there really comes down to turkey saying they have the right to explore certain parts of the mediterranean sea greece says no that's part of our continental shelf and not yours and so you need to back off th
