stuart: so the implication is that this group gave npr money because they like the way npr reported onw why else, why else would anybody give npr a nickel unless you like the stuff they report? stuart: i think we ought to know about this supposedly middle of the road but tax-supported npr. >> do they really claim to be middle of the road? they are about as far from middle of the road as one could imagine. stuart: i heard a commencement speech by some npr people who are on the air, and they claimed middle of the road. >> well, all right. stuart: i disagree. >> we see them differently than they see themselves. but big picture, this is all -- how did this come out? this came out in the same new york times article in which ben rhodes acknowledged what i told the congress and what i told the american people was a lie. we lied because it was necessary to dull the irrational fears the congress had about the iranian mullahs. and once we could dull them into a false sense of security, then they would go along with the president's deal. all of this came out at the same time. it's part of the sam

npr got off the ground really in 1970. and so wamu was not even a member of npr at that time. you had to have five full-time employees to be a member of npr, and we did not. i came home from my first day as a volunteer at that station, and john rehm -- honestly, this is so hard to believe way back then -- john rehm said to me, "someday you'll be host of that program." so he dreamed for me. he saw ahead for me in ways i could not see for myself. now, contrast that with what we talked about earlier, the tension, the difficulties in marriage. i mean, it's so complicated. marriage is the hardest job in the world next to parenthood. [laughter] >> that's very true. i have a couple of smaller questions, but since you just spoke about john rehm again, one of the things i wanted to mention is that you talk at the end of the book about missing him more. and so often in our society we think, you know, grief has a time, grief ends. but this isn't actually the mourning that you're talking about, it's missing him more. and i think you touched on that a bit, but i'd love to have you expand o

web right after doing the interview someone from general foods rushes up to the npr reporter and says this is not true, the reporter gives him the microphone and says tell us about the foods, general foods is marketing and he says we are working on one right now and i think that made it very easy to win the debate. a couple years later i had the idea that too much salt was harmful because there is a lot of evidence in the 1970s. in 1977 i said bonnie, let's write a petition to the food and drug administration about salt, that the government should limit sodium levels and put warning notices on warning canisters. back then salt, now salt considered generally recognized as safe companies could use as much as they want. bonnie and i at georgetown wrote the petition. working on salt ever since. and researchers, discovering week we could cut sodium from salt and other food additives. and $20 billion or so every year in medical costs, an issue of enormous importance and meanwhile salt is generally recognized as safe. one of those issues, all americans know it is safe. and we are working at

when i was doing that npr series i mentioned to you earlier, i was very intrigued by the 2010 census that said, guess what? right now we're a nation of more than 300 million people, but a quarter, a quarter of us are under the age of 18. under 18. i had no idea we were such a young nation. under 18. remember, people like craig, me, i mean, we have kids, but 18 -- >> came to the tail end of the baby boom or right in the middle of the baby boom. >> yeah. >> right. >> but people under 18 don't vote. people under 18 don't have money to give to politicians. people under 18 typically are not involved in political organizing. so they're not the kind of people that i'm calling on the phone like i'm calling craig when he was in the reagan administration. so that's just not the people i'm in touch with. >> when we were 18, we couldn't vote. >> that's correct. >> right. >> so i thought i would go and talk to people who were under 18, get a better sense of this very large, larger cohort than the baby boomers. that's how big the under-18 population is in the country. so i went out to a high schoo

just this week we saw an "atlantic" reporter on npr talking about venezuela's problems and never mentioned hugo chavez or socialism. think what we have here in mrsa media that's focused on taking care of the poor but not the manipulation of the market to the point that bernie sanders supporters are truly looking at socialism as a positive. and hillary clinton is talking about the in a positive tone. when you manipulate the market, you have major problems that are unsustainable. >> this is a country that should be swimming in wealth, they produce a large amount of oil. but it's mismanaged through socialism. does it blow you away that a self-described socialist is one of the three remaining standing people for the next presidency? >> it it doesn't blow me away because i think in theory socialism makes a lot of sense for a lot of people, they like the idea of being taken care of and having things at their fingertips. a lot of them don't consider the expense associated with it because we know nothing is really free. here is the other thing, we talk about venezuela. we cannot talk about simply
