karl, let me switch subjects to you.ymmetric warfare because joe biden is stuck in basement studio in his home in delaware. if you were advising him, how would you tell him to try to strike a higher profile or will you say that's a mistake at this point? look, everybody is focused on the virus, just let the stage to the president. karl: well, you to recognize there are limitations because you're right the president dominates this. this is a time no matter what he does, biden is not going to have the profile of the president. i'd say 3 things. first of all, don't pick a fight over china. if the question of this election is who is tougher on china, donald trump is the answer and not joe biden. second of all, i would not follow the practice of nancy pelosi which joe biden is unfortunately following and that is just a pick at the administration to say defense, you're not using the defense production act. look, he's quickly and she's quickly what bill called negativism and to me one of the things that would be important is fo

. >> watched "after words" with jonathan karl at 9 pm eastern on tv on c-span2. >> kevin merida, why is espn putting out a young readers book called thefierce 44 ? >> for the undefeated, our platform which focuses on race, sports and culture, we had done a digital project 2017 that was kind of an ode tothe first african-american president . hence the title the fierce 44 so we had this idea that let's do kind of an all my two and arguably the greatest achievement for african-americans and who should be on that list? it was a digital project and it was well received, highly debated and then houghton-mifflin said could you turn this into a children's book because there were not a lot of african-american biographies, that's a genre that was popular, children's biography collections so they loved robert ball had these beautiful illustrations so we edited our digital project and turned it into a book. >> what's the format of this book? >> it's basically short bio sketches with a couple would illustrations and it gives you enough that they can learn about these tremendous african-american a

he was a friend of karl perkins who was a congressman from eastern kentucky.one of the reasons candidate went to that he was going to go to carolina but fritz collings was running for reelection at the time and he was like hey bobby, maybe not shine a light on poverty in south carolina weimer running for reelection. so kennedy said okay, and then hollings later supported some of the legislation. so went to kentucky because there is not a senator up for reelection in the congressman was karl perkins. he like held the job like the pope. he hadn't until he died, which is exactly what happened. steven caywood was a law student who would occasionally come to washington and help out karl perkins in his office. so he finagled a ride in the car with kennedy. so with a state trooper that drove kennedy, karl perkins, kennedy and steve caywood, 23-year-old prospective law student. it had a huge effect on steve caywood's life and he basically has worked in environmental and poverty issues ever since then. i'll even know if i answered your school did i? >> yes. smack good

. >> you can see that entire interview between abc news chief white house correspondent jonathan karl and former white house press secretary merry christmas curry this sunday on c-span's book tv. >> so kevin, why is espn putting out young redders book called "the fierce 44"? >> look, it-- for the undefeated, our platform, which focuses on race, sports and culture, we have done a digital project in 2017 that was kind of an ode to the first african-american president, hence the title "the fierce 44" so we had this idea that let's do kind of an homage to inarguably, i think the greatest achievement for african-americans to become president and who else should be on that list? and so we did a list. it was an interactive digital project and it was, you know, well received, highly debated, and then the publishers said that, could you turn this into a children's book? and because there are not a lot of african-american biography, that's a genre that's popular, a children's biography collection. and robert ball had the illustrations so we edited our digital project and turned it into a book.

but karl answer there, he made three points.t you joe biden say about this now in order to address it, do you think? >> well, first of all, i want to say that i have no insights. and i don't mean to lecture anybody about sexual assault. the other thing i want to point out is that many democratic women have spoken out. they've been asked about it. some have spoken out without even being asked. and as you all know, several newspapers have started their own investigations. the biden campaign said several weeks ago that they welcome an investigation. so i don't think anybody's running away from any accusations. and i think it's important to understand that he said when women speak up, whether it's what we heard during the brett kavanaugh hearings, or what we heard during the trump campaign, or what we heard about several other men, that we allow women to speak up and have their voices heard. this is not a time to just simply use the politics of the moment to try to bring up stuff that may not exist. here's what i do now, back in 199

herewith reaction is fox news contributor karl rove.'s analyze the ad -- i've been watching this biden stuff, every time he opens his mouth, it's a disaster, you think he's the guy? they're not going to try to replace him? >> the ad i think it's pretty powerful and i think it was smart to use -- you noticed the voices we were talking about biden having rejected the presidents travel ban, major garrett was one of them, a respected former fox colleague who was with another network n now. >> sean: cbs. >> cbs, right. i thought it was a very good ad, i'm a little surprised it was put out this early but it's one i suspect we are going to see a lot of it on digital and i suspect we will see it on cable and network if not today, than relatively soon. it's a powerful ad and it reminds people that biden has been here and biden has been there and he's been saying some things that were over-the-top at the time that he said them and he is trying to find a way to walk it back. >> sean: andrew cuomo says he's taking himself out. >> stopped, nobody is

then jonathan karl gets shouted down. you never get the answers to the questions that are actually the most germain to many moment. why are these press conferences allowed to go on? >> i don't know. >> on testing again, the president was lying about testing. yes, it is the federal government's job. it was the federal government's job until the trump administration botched it so badly that the fda finally, on february 29th, said enough. said to the cdc two days earlier, if you were a private entity, we would shut you down. on the 29th said, okay, private entities can start testing because the federal government has failed so much, in effect, was the conclusion by the end of february. by that time, mika, we had already lost eight, you know, four, five, six, seven weeks. >> i wish someone could impress upon the president that the truth is valuable at this time. he tries to control the information during these press

i think karl was a big foot. >> the ap didn't have a big foot rovlin. we had a couple of people who were on the plane every week are the main plane had about 40 journalists and all the major papers were on it. it was the tv crews and when you are the third person with organization of the zoo plane and there's a funny story to shows in some ways things have not changed. one of the people that ended up on the zoo plane was bob novak a columnist because it got mcgovern didn't like anything that he wrote and they put them on the zoo plane. if you think anything is changed i remind you of the story the other day about the npr. reporter: who was not allowed to travel with mr. pompeo. i traveled with sparrow agnew some in the early 70s and the "washington post" and "the baltimore sun" word allowed to go with him because it was bad for liberals. >> i will never forget mcgovern's plane. it was called the dakota queen two. the first one was his world war ii plane. he flew the max bombing mission during world war ii. but anyway the dakota queen to pulling away fro

eastern on after words, abc news white house correspondent jonathan karl provides a behind of the scenes look at the trump administration in his book, "front row at the trump show", he's interviewed by the former press secretary in the clinton administration. >> so you have enemy of the people, a phrase which i actually spent a little bit of time in the book about the origins of that phrase. it's a very ugly phrase used by stalin, used by hitler, used, you know, during the french revolution and basically the justification was-- the people that were targeted by the law under which they were found guilty and beheaded, that the actual law uses that phrase, enemy of the people. >> watch after words with

let's bring in karl rove, former deputy white house chief of staff and a fox news contributor. the president said he wants to stay out of it and bill barr is trying to run a process over the justice department. does raise a lot of eyebrows what happened to michael flynn or if there was a mishandling, should the white house wait and see how that goes or should they just press forward here since it looks so damaging? >> i let the process run. the more documents we have, the greater the insight everyone will have and the more the course of the administration ultimately it's going to be accepted. these are remarkable documents. the idea that -- they said
