his recent new york times magazine story is headlined "inside the january 6 committee: power strugglesns and made-for-tv moments -- the untold story of the most important congressional investigation in generations." robert draper, thank you so much for joining us. can you talk about this group of far right republicans who have stopped mccarthy from becoming house speaker -- at least at this point? you have written an entire book about this. >> i have written a couple, actually. this is a train that has been coming down the track for a while. , principally members of the house freedom caucus, who are determined to show the sort of maga being -- base that still forms the backbone of the republican party. they're fighting against kevin mccarthy, they have never altogether trusted or liked. mccarthy has offered himself up as someone who will help conservatives get what they want, but does not possess similar ideology and they're all too aware of that. again, it is unclear how this ends but it has been inevitable. it is been quite apparent to those of us following what has been going on on

think about that and to think what else have we missed because we are looking at "the new york times," "time" magazine and att some degree the tribune because it's been digitized. but there's this whole range of papers out there that have had to go through all this microfilm to find the stories. i started thinking if you start from those sources, from the actual news articles that publish, if you go to the archives of the editors and the reporters and look at their private conversations about how they viewed roosevelt and his policies, how did that change our opinion of why roosevelt failed in some of his policies. whyn didn't he try harder to bring more refugees? why didn't he fight harder to confront hitler earlier? whyy didn't he fight harder when he got pushed back on the quarantines beach. and so, it was really sort of a historian's motive i guess where i started to say i'm not sure that we totally understand the story because we haven't been looking at the right sources. then of course once i got into it i was like look at the parallels. there could be real lessons for it today.

amount of e-e interest in ukrainian literature is constantly written about by all literary magazines, all new york timesnancial posts, that is, very huge attention, but you know, i wouldn’t say that they scored on russia, they are starting to score again, well, that’s right. yes, but you know, there is such a thing skips abroad that well, yes, ukrainians are cool and here is dostaevskaya there and here is the bulga and here is bulgakov by the way, he lived in kyiv too, that is, it is constantly er-er ringtone still er-er hmm it goes well it’s simple i think it’s not that difficult, isn’t it easy to knock out all of this, but it takes time, i think that we are working, we are people who are abroad, and now i am doing it. it seems to me that they are simply making maximum efforts to correct this situation, i still have a few questions that concern and next year, in principle, the situation that drags on a very important issue of speculation in the war, it begins to be raised somewhere from perhaps september day a-a this also applies to music and cinema and er-e literature also because there were precedent

byline on that important piece of reporting, jim rutenberg, writer at large for the "new york times" and its sunday magazinee days before the election and i said is there any scenario where all the polls wrong? he said no. i said what's best case scenario for the democrats? and this red wave seeped into even the non-political analysts who were looking at the data. and my question for you goes back to when you and i first met. i think i was the head of the iowa caucuses in 2004. i worked on the bush re-election campaign. our polls would never -- they were done by matt dowd, who was a really good pollster. but they would have never been averaged into all the media polls and influenced one way or another the polling averages. how did that happen? >> well, the polling industry's changed quite a bit. that was not too long ago. that's why we both still look so youthful. but you know, it's become people really want to see the polls. people are really riveted by american politics in the way it wasn't perhaps quite the same way back then. and some sites have come along that really serve that want, in some cases that

time. >> well, i wonder, because i was reading a piece in "new york" magazine entitled the end of police reform and pointed out in memphis adaptations had been made in 2020, in terms of banning choke holds, there were body cameras, that wasn't a deterrent here. the police force is 60% black it reported with a black police chief. even with these adjustments, this horrific situation happened. so when you hear calls for police reform, what is the piece of reform that you think makes the difference or just recruitment? >> margaret, we have made calls for police reform, especially since the brutal death of george floyd. now let me say this, i was in congress during the time that voted for the george floyd justice and policing act, we all know it was not perfect, but my goodness, i sure believe it was a major step in the right direction and i think that too many police executives think that any criticism of the police or any efforts to reform or modify hiring standards, modify training standards, make sure they have the technology that they need to better be able to do the job, calling for nat

new york magazine telling us there are significant differences. "new york times" telling us, the circumstances of the two case appear to be strikingly different. and "new york times" telling us again, the cases were very different. devoting an entire article, explaining how a former vice president can have classified documents but not a former president. nbc telling us that the circumstances are different, and media framed issue to lessen the significance of the biden discoveries, writing it gives the republicans something to bludgeon the with the with, they could have written that discovery gives merrick garland to a point special counsel or he knew about it before the midterms but didn't do anything, they could have dusted off old stories about whether a sitting president can be up diet -- indicted, but they did not, much is unknown about the biden case, how did the classified documents get to to biden's office, house and garage? who took them there? who used them while they were there? why were certain documents taken? why were his lawyers looking for classifi
