john nichols, how does that play out? walker for president campaign is the worst kept secret in politics. it's taken him out of wisconsin for years. he hasn't paid enough attention to the budget process, that's why it's been something of a mess mess. beyond that, i think one of the real challenges that walker faces in wisconsin and potentially on the national campaign trail. over time they have come to recognize what he's doing is not working. in the most recent marquette poll, the disapproval rating is as high as it's been 55%. paired against any of the republican candidates scott walker lost witness bis in what is generally thought of as the best poll of wisconsinites? >> i'll make the argument again. the polls that matter are the ones that happen on election day. nobody's had a tougher time than scott walker in interprets of money coming from outside estate, the unions giving it everything they had to defeat this guy. and -- >> let's get the facts right here, there was a recall election he got more out of state money t

reviewed by john nichols. one who introduced him at a rally earlier this month. [ cheers and applause ] >> it starts with progressives. you demand a candidate who spoke your language. ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, please welcome senator bernie sanders! >> when i saw this i couldn't help but think about fox's john handy, barred from speaking at a tea party rally a few years ago. fox did not want him doing that. the editor and publisher of the nation katrina vanden heuvel joins me. i don't want to present a false narrative. john is foremost a television host. what's your reaction to the idea that someone interviewing bernie sanders shouldn't be up on the stage introducing him? >> "the nation" has been up front about our values and principles. we are independent. we've called it like it is. we've criticized democratic candidates and presidents. john nichols has introduced bernie sanders for over 25 years. >> does that make it right? >> let me just say. john nichols was talking in that context about

amy: john nichols, your response?it was a remarkable statement by the governor by any measure because it told us two things. first off, this is a candidate for president of the united states who has exceptionally limited background in foreign policy. really does see it in very simplistic terms. even in his speech yesterday, he defaulted toward in a most cheneyesque worldview in which was talking about ripping up with the iran agreement without saying it, again and again going toward militaristic, very aggressive stances globally. and then to suggest at the same time coming from this place of extremely limited knowledge on international affairs, that he got his experience by taking on teachers and nurses and snowplow drivers, firefighters, police officers who came to that p is fully to say, look, we disagree with something you're doing. we think your assault on unions is wrong. it would not be damaging only to individual union members and unions, but the state of wisconsin. if i can just emphasize, this antiunion stanc

for more let me bring in john nichols, washington correspondent for the nation magazine. t are these big money donors to walker? >> they're definitional my friend. without those big money donors scott walker would still be an obscure wisconsin legislator. he had spent the better part of two decades courting the wealthiest people in america directly and also as a member of the american legislative exchange council and other groups that put him in contact with billion nars andaires and with corporate interests. >> walker was criticized for taking a hard stance to please iowa crowds. he told voters in the hawkeye state he supported government mandates on ethanal gasoline through the renewable standard. the koch displeasure with that stance. is walker equipped to handle conflict with wealthy backers like the koch brothers? >> of course he is. he will say what he needs to say to get elected. then once in office he'll deliver for the wealthy special interests. they know that. they're not stupid. they don't mind if he says some things that, quote, unquote, upset them because at t

. >> joining us now from wisconsin is john nichols, washington correspondent for the nation.n nichols, scott walker clearly intends to take his record into this republican campaign, which may serve him well in the republican campaign. >> i think you're right about that. and it's a very interesting thing with scott walker. he is someone who a lot of the national media sees as sort of a more mainstream republican candidate, somebody who will be competing with jeb bush and marco rubio for kind of the mainstream republicans not just the more right wing folks, and yet, at his heart, scott walker is a very very conservative republican. and you heard that in his speech today. his great pivot point in the speech after some ents ducktry remarks was roughly we took on the unions, and we won. that was a big applause line. then he went into that whole line of remarks that you heard there. and it's notable that the loudest applause at least to my ear, was for voter i.d. now, in a republican primary, maybe that's a big, big issue but i'm not sure that's a very big november issue. >> charli

i'm joined by john nichols, washington correspondent of "the nation" magazine. in iowa tonight? it is going to be a barbless night for the candidates, what do you thing? >> i don't think there will be a lot of barbs tonight, ed. one thing to understand is that this is a democratic party dinner with a lot of people at it. roughly 1200 they're talking about. that's a huge event. and a real substantial portion of the people who are the influence makers the influence guiders as regards to caucuses. all these candidate will seek to make their very best first impression re-emphasize their strengths and also for some of the candidates introduce themselves to some extent. we talk a lot about hillary clinton and bernie sanders, but we should also be -- >> each campaign was given 200 tickets for their supporters tonight. so not any one candidate could load up the room which i think is very interesting. what about the prediction of nate silver or the forecasting that says that because of the demographics, iowa and new hampshire could be tough for hillary clinton because be

then, nor was it ever, says "nation" columnist john nichols, author of "the 's' word." for me in which i propose renaming capitalism. welcome to our program. [music playing] bernie sanders, who calls himself an independent socialist, i

for more john nichols and jenaveve wood. whose telling the truth here? hn you are a long time wisconsin journalist here. is what trump is saying true? is what walker saying true? break it down for us. >> ed i never thought i'd be on television vetting donald trump in saying that he is essentially right. but the fact of the matter is that you know while trump may be a percentage point off here or there the basic reality of what mideast saying ing he's saying is true. the state of wisconsin historically has had very very vibrant schools and public services, has taken a lot of hits in those areas. and despite scott walker's promises that all the cuts, all the assault os on organized labor would somehow magically make wisconsin a boom state. wisconsin trails far behind neighboring states including minnesota which took a different course. and the final thing i would point out here ed is that many of the criticisms of scott walker are not coming from liberal democrats. there are newspapers in wisconsin that endorsed him for governor back in 2010 that now refer

also john nichols, washington correspondent for "the nation," celebrating its 150th anniversary thisongratulations. he's also interviewed bernie sanders many times. welcome to you both. pat, when you see trump and what he does -- i know you've had-h your own encounters in the past. similar to what you rode in '92? >> there are similarities. trump's from the republican base he's exposing that and hitting two of the strong populous histories. one is overlap with bernie sanders that's the trade issue, export of american jobs and factories and what's happening to the american middle class. the other one trump is hitting which is one of the hottest issues in the whole west as well as the united states, is the massive invasion, if you will and what people feel is the conquest of the west by massive third world immigration from refugees and border jumpers and all the rest. he's wired into both of these and they're enormously popular issues. >> john, even when you talk about immigration immigration is tied to economics. both appealing to the same working class voters who feel left behind, is

. >> host: big story bernie sanders q&a with the presidential candidate john nichols. they call it is most revealing interview. a socialist presidential candidate says about his vision pictures look at the piece but i want to ask you a right in the beginning there were plenty of doubters. too much into the campaign everything about this fantasy, the center's candidacy, the crowds the poll numbers, the buzz is bigger than expected us says something about standards but also says something about the prospect for progressive policy. what does it say? >> guest: this is an economic populist moment i would argue into economic poppe swing of the's wing of the democratic party, the so-called democratic wing of the democratic party is the center. so what was going to fill that space in 2016 and this coming campaign and bernie sanders is for goingfor the winter. him i didn't elizabeth warren but bernie sanders has staked out his ground. is somewhere in the nation has been covering since he entered congress in 1990. what strikes me is millions on meeting him for the first time. he

co-chief executive john cryan, who replaced anshu jain, is pressing ahead for the thanks turnaround plan. hans nicholsberlin, what did we learn from these numbers? hans: deutsche bank has a little more breathing room. they did well on trading of debt and fixed income. equities income was up almost 40%. income did come in three times bigger than it was last year year on year, but that is a little off. you look at their overall litigation expenses this quarter, those came in at 1.2 billion euros. took all this together and said, we have a lot more work to do. here's what he said when he was speaking. our challenges are also evident in the unacceptable high level of our cost, our continuing burden of heavy litigation charges, a balance sheet that must be more efficient, and core overall returns to our shareholders. if i'm an employee at deutsche bank, my job is potentially endanger. jain was a big push by mr. as part of his strategy review. two months into that review, he was out the door. mr. cryan saying he will unveil his later this fall. we may get a sneak peek this afternoon. manus: thank you very m

nichols is watching deutsche bank. he has what we need to look for. the morning to you. hans: i have mostly excitement because as you said, we are going to hear from john crane -- is what his strategy is. where is he going to take the bank? he has been on the job less than a month, he started july 1. what is his strategy? as do the numbers, revenue up 7% year on year. income in the name of 29 million euros, they had a big tax charge. what we are looking for though in terms of the numbers, where are they on fixed income commodities? remember, the u.s. peers were down 12% year over year. and deutsche bank derives much more from their peers. equity revenue was up 20% deutsche bank is not that heavy on revenue. the numbers themselves might not be that exciting, that positive. but what does he say about cost-cutting? job cuts? he announced those cuts, but he did not say where they would be geographically. what about the return on equity the old goal for deutsche bank was percent. he dialed that back to 10%. they are at 3.9% on return on equity. all there be change there? crucially, on capital ratios he brought his bank up to 5% -- the new global standard ah
