the npr. the npr's origins lay in a letter that general mcarthur sent to the japanese prime minister in july,8, 1950, a few weeks after the korean war. the letter ordered him to create a new military force in japan which of the called the national police reserve. macarthur declared that the new force would not only defend japan from foreign threats but it would also "safeguard the public welfare by preventing subversion by lawless minorities, a clear reference to commonest subversion. equally important, the macarthur and others claimed that the npr could also guard against democracies psychological vulnerabilities to either ideas and forces. it started in september, 1950. the shock of the korean war had "raised questions about the psychological attitudes of the japanese people." unless the japanese people had some sense of continued security, the united states warned, it would be natural to expect a growth of a sense of futility, of resistance to comunism. so the npr was meant to make the japa

the national police reserve, the npr. it was the foundation of japan's current military, now called the self-defense force. i stated that this is a very controversial decision. what was controversial about it? one thing was that the creation of the npr seems to counter the foundational object of the u.s. democratization efforts. throughout the war, american policymakers had repeatedly and open to blamed japan's military leaders and japanese militarism, or broadly, for causing world war ii in the pacific. some of the most documents that laid out the goals of the occupation, like the potsdam declaration, declared that the militarists had misled the japanese people. they were those to blame. during the first few years of the occupation, the occupational authorities demobilized and dismantled japan's imperial military. they order the japanese government, be governed through

and, tamara keith from npr. she co-hosts t "npr politics podcast." so welcome to you both. there's a couple of ways you can make the debate stage right now if you're a democratic candidate, r?ig let's take a look at who has made it so far, 19 candidates so fa you will see in the middle there, that's the group that's qualified both meeting the donor and the poll threshold, the group on the left just meeting the poll thresh holiday season. amy, when you look at this group, what's standing out about who's made it nd who hasn't? >> pretty much everybody is in the mix, which is what the d.n.c. wanted to do. it's part of the reas for the new threshold which is very low meaning just 1% in the polls or a number of donors, 65,000 individual donors. part of the reason they wanted to dhio twas as a reaction to the criticism the d.n.c. got i 2016, when there's criticism weat they didn't hold enough debates, that they on weekend nights, that they didn't start until late in tese pr

ultimate job in radio as a supervising editor for npr. >> you are carrying this out? >> reporter: i don't think ted knows how wise he is and how much his words have meant. he made a huge impact on me at the moment i really needed it. i was young and trying to figure out what the right thing to do was in life. and he was there. he took the time. >> when i'm really, really proud of her is when she is doing a tough interview and asking tough questions. and her family, her two kids. it's just wonderful to see her living a full life >> reporter: here we are on the plaza all those years ago. you give me the words to live by, right? and i keep telling you how much they meant to me. so we put them up on the screen. >> oh, my god! >> reporter: i know. >> that's very sweet. >> reporter: i think that everyone can learn from what you told me all those years ago. i really do.

to proceed along the path the npr lays out. our extended deterrence posture depends on the credibility of central deterrence and this in turn depends on the successful completion of our modernization program. now extended deterrence poses a more complex set of challenges for the united states than central deterrence for several reasons and for example the united states must possess deterrence capabilities that are credible from the adversary's perspective. with credibility being a function of both u.s. capability and the willing to exercise that capability. in essence, the will to go to war. possibly nuclear war in the defense of others. in addition the u.s. commitment must by viewed as credible by our allies that we are seeking -- whom we are seeking to defend and their views regarding the credibility of our security guarantees to them may differ. for example, our asian allies may have a different view of what it takes to assure them of our security commitment then our european allies. and even our european allies may hold dif

if you look at yours, your gross npr ratio at -- you sort of get the impression once you shared all of the bad stuff from the books, then banks can continue to grow. if you get much further down the track, where is the growth coming from? >> 400 euros of loss if you compare the ratio it is not a fair approach looking at the business model because we are relying on wealth management and not on loss. other players are relying mainly on loans and not on wealth management if you use the usual metrics to compare npr with loss, you have not a fair approach in the company that is a wealth management company, and if you look at the stress test scenario, so the results of the stress test, we are the winner, because we have the best business model and sustainability of results. a lot of wealthy families. you can have an amount of -- compared to other markets. >> that was the ceo there talking about the importance of the banking business model let's get more information on to how the banking sector as a whole is fairing out this earnings season with the senior credit analyst it's great to have yo

that's what they're doing. >> joining me now is laura sullivan, npr, we ared in midst of a trade war, pivotal week of that trade war, but you actually point to a pivotal day over a year ago, march, 2018, when donald trump without the knowledge of some of his senior team gathered executives from the steel and aluminum industries and announced thee tariffs that kicked is us all off. watch this together. >> barr and i start to dust off the secret weapon we had to call a national emergency, kind of on the border right now. >> that he used the national security emergencies, pourers invested in the state department to go after steel, navy, autos, eventually technology. >> 25% for steel. it will be 10% for this moment moment in trade policy, because it's the most aggressive use of this kind of trade law approach ever. this is done under the theory of national security. >> in high level meetings with the president. some foreign leaders offered, they said, wen want to help with china, we want to do this together with you. he seemed to think this was his night alone and he wanted to do it mano-

white house correspondent and co-host of the "npr politics" podcast hello to both of you.is "politics monday." so let's start with where amna started in her reporting, amy, and that is with abortion. we are seeinger cotive-leaning states pass restrictive laws on women's access. clearly, humaconsequences to all this, but i want to ask both of you about the political calcul a. i mean, were hearing the candidates out on the trail, we are hearing the president. what do we see developing here? >> well, what you saw before the alabama case were republicans on the offens, sayi states that were run by democrats, new york and california, they were passing laws that were overly what the president had called at one point infanticide, that they were supporting laws that would allow women to have abortions well into their third trimester and arguing that republicans wereay out of the mainstream. he was very comfortable with that line of attack. he used it a lot at his rallies. now we go and we see a number of states who now have these six-week bans andow alabama the most extreme of the

-- tamera keith of npr, she co-hosts the npr politics podcast.nk you both. crats havenk de gotten past large field, i don't know, epic, biblical. >> yeah. why is this field not just large but extra large? >> there are a whole lot of reasons. we could spend the next hour talking about why the field is as big as it is. the most obvious is look howsf succ bernie sanders and donald trump were in 2016, two candidates that nody gave any shot of getting rid of how far they got in the process, so there's certainly a sense of if they could do it, i can do it. but there's also a sense among democrats that beating donald trump is so important, it' beyond just putting a democrats in the white house. they see donald trump as essentiasty an etial threat to the country, and they want to be the one thatan make sure that the right candidate is there to beat him. so finding that perfe candidate to beat donald trump is more important now than e fr party, i think the which usually played a big role in helping narroand thin the field, doesn't have much power anymore,

it's a joint investigation with npr. laura sullivan of npr is the yrrespondent. she will talk wiiche alcindor in a moment. but first, here is an excerpt about how the presid surprised the world with tariffs on china, after the two sides had already made some progress. eir negotiators agreed on a plan for china to buy billions of dollars of u.s. products like beef and natural s. but behind the celebration, trump's nationalists had dideviseed a different plan. >> we had a couple of tricks up our sleeves. we starred to dust off the secret weapon we had to call a national security emergency, kind of watt we're doing on the border right now. you used the national security emergency powers ineested in th defense department to go after steel, aluminum, mybe autos but eventually technology. it's time to get it on. >> by march 2018, the president was ready to take action. >> thank you very much, everyone. in have with us the biggest steel companiehe united states. they used to be a lot bigger, but they're going to be a lot bigger again. >> reporter: executives from thstee

see what the washington post has set about the public, or npr. you may discover that thing actually never happened and the beauty part is that has never been easier in human history. you can do that kind of a spot check if you care about a story in a matter of seconds. that's a great thing. >> having held the anchor job occupied by walter cronkite, do you think that era is over in this world that people embrace? is it possible that one journalist or person could ever have that level of trust again? >> definitely over and definitely a good thing. city cynicism is not a good thing but i read a lot about skepticism which is something all of us have been trained to exercise. i think our viewers and readers don't exercise skepticism nearly to the degree that the due. during and after walter, look at those times. vietnam. watergate. all of those things that he was reporting about were creating unfortunately a little bit of cynicism about the media and the power structures particularly in washington. i think it is a good thing that no single journalist

and carrie johnson is the justice department correspondent for npr. welcome back to the "newshour" to both of you. i want to get ur reaction, both, first to you,i carre, you have been following this investigation for the last few tiars. this is the firs we have heard publicly from the special counsel. what did youake of those nine minutes? >> you know, he used his words carefully. he said ithis n report mostly speaks for itself, as you id, it is his testimony, but he used his short time -- nine minutes ornto -- in fof the cameras and the eyes of the world to make a few kepoints. one is that the russians attacked our elections in 2016 and they may be up to that again. another is that the case and th evidence they assembled with respect to obstruction were such that the ecial counsel team could not exonerate president trump of obstruction. the third is people should read his r wort. he doesnt to testify to congress. he says if people read his, repoe answers to their questions will be in that document. >> woodruff: and john carlin bois some who worked ve

go see what "the washington post" has said about that subject or npr. you may discover that that thing actually never happened. and the beauty part is that that has never been easier in human history. you can do that kind of a spot check if you care about a story in a matter of seconds. that's a great thing. >> let me go back to some of theseld questions. this person writes, having held the anchor job once held by walter cronkite, often called the most trusted man in america, do you think that era is over and this cynical world that many people embrace, is it possible that any one journalist or one person could ever have that level of trust again? >> definitely over and definitely a good thing. cynicism --sk cynicism is not a good thing, but i write a lot in the book aboutut skepticism, whh is something that all of us have been trained to exercise as journalists. i think our viewers and our readers don't exercise skepticism nearly to the degree thatat we should -- that we do. during and after walter -- i mean look at those times, right? vietnam, waterga

susan davis, congressional correspondent for npr, and hans nichols, correspondent for nbc news. you have all the together on this, trying to get a deal. does this grease the skids for thesmca on capitol hill? >> it was a very good week on capitolr hill the president in the trade agenda, part of that becse heame up to the hill to met with democrats including nancy pelosi. i think there was skepticism going into the meeting and democrats came out of the meeting thinking the message to democrats was what d i need to do to get you on board. they know they need nancy peli to bringhis to the floor and i think they recognize that and i would say in t ebb and flow of what can this congress do with this period, at the endf this week, i talked to more democrats who thought trade was much more of a possibility than some of the other this. robert: when could a vote happen? >> anyone who says anything that could happen substantively ith congress has to happen this year. next year the chances are nancy pelosi said she's not in any rush so i can't imagine it happens any time sn butf you'll see

npr calls it a biography of the masterful spy and what can be done with a few people and a little resistant. let us all welcome sonia. [applause] thank you very much. can you all hear me by the way excellent. thank you all for coming. it's a beautiful day outside. we would now say to ourselves if we are in a sticky situation were having a hard time, virginia wouldn't complain or what's with virginia do. she's someone that once you get to know has a big impact on your life and work a courageous woman. i'm astonished that more people don't know more about her, but of course i intend to change that with your help. how does it make time for virginia she fought many battles in her lifen and one she fought in france she tended to win. she had a hard time here and the reason it is a woman of no importance is because that is the way she was treated right here in the city. it is obviously a big cause. as you heard it felt very different as the most dangerous ally despite of all. they issued an order across france and anybody else occupying france we must find and destroy her. what she did in the war

. >> you're referring to the pbs frontline program, they did, together with npr, a story on the trade frictions to date. and there's one sense in which you're right, when we speak of trade war and use these marshal metaphors, it sounds very dire, but for most american consumers to date, what trade war means is that the prices of some of the stuff that we buy and sell with each other goes up a little bit. but it could get considerably worse. for example, oil and liquefied natural gas sales from the united states to china have actually been going down slightly, and if we impose all of the tariffs that president trump is talking about imposing, this will have an impact on the global economy and the global supply chain such that oil and liquefied natural gas sales are likely to continue to go down. does that necessarily mean that he would be wrong to impose those tears? no, because what these economic frictions are actually part of a much larger long-term competition between the united states and china. >> forbes highlighting one of those issues that might center on some of americans, tha

i am a correspondent at npr news and the 112th president of the national press club. we have a terrific program today and we invite you to listen, watch,

>>there would have to be something pretty much blockbuster having said that the the merest npr marist poll did show some movement towards more people wanting this however, still image a majority of independents don't and that's to me that's the bellwether i mean the democrats i think 73 20 something there for it republicans events in 91 one or 2. it said independent movement and some things are going to have to come out. the issue now is is very clear. bill clinton used executive privilege 14 times during his controversies. now though the democrats are kept are casting such a wide net trump may may be able to pass that record. and it depends on how long that dynamic goes along of course with the independent cap say independent the investigation comes out on the fisa things it may shift the landscape. so my prediction is the next 200 see better stay tuned and i know you guys we covering it up. so much so. >>well just today really about i mean other than political theater, the president already knew about all the investigations and that they were going end he already had a sign made up

on saturday -- >> did you say npr? >> yeah. >> i thought you might have misspoken. i was asked to speak to npr and they started asking me question and the third question in a ten-minute interview was, do you think donald trump owes mueller an apology for all of this -- and i started answering it and the host started interrupting me and i said listen, don't interrupt me, let me finish. you invite med here and i'm going to finish what i had to say. they then cut me off. >> i don't think you're going to be back on that channel again. >> i will not tolerate being treated like that, everybody in this room, if you're going to engage by the left, play by the rules of decency. if you're invited and they ask you a question make sure you finish it and have what you have to say. we have to insist on our rights in this sphere. if we're going to play by those rules, we're going to lose every time. so we cannot afford to lose the future of this country. this is the great american experiment. the reason my folks came here and brought

they really care if they gechlt and if they become outraged by that ferld, or npr. the beauty part is that that has never been easier in human history. you can do that kind of a spot check if you care about a story in a matter of seconds. that's a great thing. ly. >> i'm going to go back to some of these questions. having held the anchor job once occupied by waerlt, and in this cynical world that many people em. >> definitely a good thing. cynicism is not a good thing, but i write a lot in the book about skepticism, something all of us have been trained to exercise as journalists. i don't think our readers exercise skepticism nearly to the degree that we do. during and after watergate, all those things that were happening that walter was reporting about, were creating in the american people, unfortunately, a little bit of cynicism about the media and the power structures particularly in washington. so i think it is a good thing that no single journalist or two or three are going to be considered the most trusted person, especially for all the reasons that we just di

morning, welcome to the national press club, my name is allison fitzgerald kojak, i am a correspond with npr news, and i am the 112 resident of the national press club. i would like everyone to take a moment and check your cell phones, turn off, or turn the ringers off please we have several cameras in the room. >> the united states, will complete its withdrawal from the paris climate agreement, next year. there is a crisis of classic pollution in our oceans, and 100 year storms that seem to be happening with that news i would like to wish our guest today dennis is a happy 49th birthday. it was 49 years ago in 1970 that hayes helped launch the first day. it was a time of when america's national decision involved eagles was listed as an endangered species, as angeles and pittsburgh are routinely developed in thick smog, and the cuyahoga river in cleveland was so polluted, it caught fire. and on the first earth day, it made it 20 million people participated in demonstration. the effort launched a sweeping series of policy changes in the united states. including the clean air act, the clean wat

critical of the media as being fake news, a solution would be to open the doors of the new york times or nprnd let people see what we are doing and how we come up with these stories and decisions and how they are made, editorial decisions. we can appeal to the conspiracy theorist, we are trying to appeal to the majority of americans to help them understand the news they are receiving is real and sincere and not being manipulated by outside forces. is that possibility? >> guest: some segment of people will never believe that but for a lot of folks showing our work would work, would be effective. >> host: if we could get to this gentleman with a cap on. >> you can hear me? in terms of the new york times i'm very interested in your take on to the stars and what came out as far as talking about aliens, however you want to contextualize that but what came out in december, tom delong and that event that is coming out. >> guest: i am going to recap. in december 2017 there was a story in the new york times revealing a secret department of defense program that was doing research on alien technology t

i read the "new york times" in the morning, i listen to npr. i know, i'm such a new yorker.hat i do because i want to be informed. occasionally i'll watch pbs "newshour", occasionally. >> stephen: just to get to sleep.

aid workers telling npr, they've seen more and more elderly people, people in wheelchairs and familiesbaby strollers crossing the border into columbia. we have team fox coverage. ellison barber reporting live from columbia. first, steve harrigan reporting from caracas. steve? >> shepard, it appears to be a remarkable shift in the u.s. tone towards russia over this crisis. president trump speaking with russian president putin for an hour this morning later coming out in the oval office and telling reporters that russia and the u.s. want the same thing for venezuela. here's president trump. >> he is not looking at all to get involved in venezuela other than he would like to see something positive happen for venezuela. i feel the same way. we want to get some humanitarian aid. right now people are starving. they have no water, no food. this is the prime minister, one of the richest countries in the world 20 years ago. now they don't have food and water for their people. we want to help on humanitarian basis. i thought it was a positive conversation with president putin on venezuela. >> th

voters are saying move on npr and pbs more than half said the mueller report will have no bearing on shows more than half want congress to move on and a quinnipiac says two thirds are against impeachment. "usa today" found more than half agree with president trump that it was a witch hunt. so what is your take love what is going on? >> the problem is the democrats are betting on collusion over two years along with the press with not a lot of facts. the mueller investigation was exhaustive on that point and concluded otherwise. they cannot attack mueller for saying there is no collusion so let's go after teeten on the four-page outline for those nuances. >> if you're going to connect the dots in journalism and then you don't have the facts you should not do that with connect the dot type of stuff. putting the thumb on the scale. >> didn't the times do that with the front-page op-ed to say donald trump requires different standards? it is a different standard today giving up the pretense of objectivity that has blinded them to the real stories. but it's may still blind them and the demo

i just heard a story out of npr, they had a style guide and i will get your comment. allowed to refer to it as a fetal heartbeat, you can't even call it an abortion clinic. if they are so comfortable that while euphemisms? >> even if you look at a more left-leaning or even google if you google what an abortion is it doesn't mention the fetus of the baby. that's just the termination of a pregnancy and that is convenient that makes the moral relativism and immorality feel okay for them. what amazes me is that i have hardly ever, if ever heard someone on the left was a part of this pro-choice hide be able to properly and accurately articulate what a pro-life person believes which is very simple that a human life as a human life no matter how small and a matter how young and therefore it has a right to live. they try to get around it every way they can because the effect of the matter is when you say you are okay with killing a child for the sake of convenience, it's a hard pill for the people to swallow mundt i think they realize that. >> dan: think it was your twitter f

npr embarrassed after it lied about don jr. senate testimony -- we paid for their coverage? the guardian reporting of fakef conspiracy about mueller and julian assange, three fake news story after fake news story, lie after lie. propaganda after propaganda and if it had to do with russia, president trump? the story was hastily reported and facts were nothing more than an afterthought. we'll get more at the video evidence. >> here's the call to the blocked number. there seems to be good evidence that that was probably resident trump. [buzzer] >> michael cohen claims that then candidate donald trump knew in advance of the june 2016 meeting in trump tower. [buzzer]ll crucially these stories tell us that cohen is willing to make the assertion to special counsel robert mueller.
