that seems to be the idea behind the npr article.d we don't tell lies on the site, don't engage in conspiracy theories on the site, and at the bottom of the articles we print which says we're a conservative website. the fact that we are conservative was enough for npr to write a piece talking about how terrible is that we get heavy facebook traffic, should be telling. i never called for facebook to suppress npr's traffic, for example. howie: i guess it is the price of success. now, i've never been a fan of donald trump's phrase, fake news, but you say it's real. you say the following, people who work there pretend to be news outlets but actually are partisan. major news organizations have moved sharply, clearly, blatantly more to the left during the trump years but not everybody who works at these outlets is a partisan activist. >> there are certain people who try harder than others who be objective. i think we probably know their names. i think there are a lot of people out there who are very openly partisan who maintain that they a

for more on developments in afghanistan and the region i spoke to jackie northam, npr's international correspondent who is in islamabad, pakistan. our conversation was recorded this morning when it was early morning in islamabad. so, jackie, in islamabad, what are the concerns about the upheaval that's happening next door? >> well, one of the bigges concerns, of course, is that it will spill over into pakistan. you know, the whole idea was, is that the taliban was supposed to go in there and keep control, you know, it had taken the country very quickly, and securely in that this attack by isis-k has really upended that whole notion now. so, there is a huge concern, just what's going to happen? and i think that part of that is, is that the pakistan government is concerned that the attacky isis-k on thursday at the airport will embolden other groups. you know, there are a lot of militant groups in this area, and not all of them are targeting afghanistan. you know, there are some have tried to target the pakistan government here as well. so, i think it's fair to say that this attack on t

joining me is a political correspondent for npr and the co-host of npr politics podcast. good morning to you. let's start with the infrastructure bill and the reconciliation bill. i don't know what you reporters on capitol hill call it. the little bill and the big bill and schumer said they're trying to get both bills done before the august recess. that's in nine days. >> that's an awfully ambitious goal. you know, look, what i will say is that just the fact that we saw this initial hurdle cleared for the bipartisan bill to me was a big step. you know, i cover president biden and the white house and looking at how much that president has pushed for bipartisanship, to me, it seems like there was some vindication in what he was showing and what democrats have suggested. and the idea that bipartisanship is still alive. but i have long said that what i think is the substance of that bipartisan bill matters less to this white house than the sheer facts that something is passed along bipartisan lines and then they move on to that larger $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill that in

let's discuss it with national security correspondent for npr news. greg, it's good to see you, again. and i wonder if we might start with that drone strike. where does that put the u.s. in terms of, a, its ability to get out of afghanistan? and, b, its ability to leave having to secure what we intended to secure which was a bit more confidence that there would be no more terrorism directed at america coming from afghanistan. what does that leave us? >> right. well, as -- as you noted, the president's statement today was quite striking. i never recall a president talking about a terror strike is highly likely as -- as president biden said today. possibly, in 24 to 36 hours. he also said that the u.s. would continue with these drone strikes against isis-k. and -- and the attack you cited did kill two of their members. but this is a group that has lots of small cells. so, it's not like this is going to completely cripple the group. um, so i think president biden wants to show the u.s. can still strike. but its ability to -- to strike militarily has been

scott -- npr. >> thank you, mr. president. i want to follow up on something you said, that there is no circumstances were american citizens cannot get to the airport. that does not really square of the images we are seeing around the airport and the reporting on the ground from our colleagues who are describing chaos and violence. are you saying that any american who wants to get to the airport is in there and getting past the security barrier and to the planes? pres. biden: i thought the question was, how can they get through to the airport outside the airport? and the answer is, to the best of our knowledge, the taliban checkpoints, they are letting through people showing american passports. now that is a different question when you get into the rushing crowd of all the folks just outside the wall near the airport. that is why we had to -- i guess, was it yesterday or the day before, we went over the wall and brought in -- how many? 169 americans. so it is a process to try to figure out how we deal with the mad rush of non-a

this is a recent headline from npr. inflation is a big political test for president biden's economic agenda. last month, consumer prices increased by 5.4% in june, the biggest monthly gain since august 2008. why is that? guest: you have a number of factors, supply and demand. on the supply side, you have the effects of covid, which affected supply chains in the country and across the globe. that will affect the amount available and prices. that also interrupts those supply chains. on the supply side, you have had some interruptions. i think we need to get through those. on the demand side, you have had these significant and important relief programs that have put funds in the hands of the middle class and others that are out of work. while supplies have been interrupted to some degree, the demand is strong. you have monetary policy, which has been extremely accommodative. that has helped create demand. the demand factors have been strong in this environment. it is not surprising you see the inflation numbers going up. h

joining me is a political correspondent for national public radio and co-host of the npr politics podcast. thanks for coming on the show this morning. there seems to be a disconnect of sorts between the rhetoric coming from the president and the reality of the situation on the ground in kabul. and other cities in afghanistan. which we continue to see play out in front of us on our screens day by day. the polls show more americans continue to support this withdrawal than oppose it, but those numbers seem to be falling by the week. >> that's right. as you were speaking about this, there is such a disconnect about the way the president described the safety and security, being able to get to the airport but frankly even when he was asked about the question of the qatar credibility, that this withdrawal and the evacuation status, we've received from allies, he was completely dismissive of it, even though we know from reporting that there is certainly european allies who have questioned how this evacuation has gone. i think it was a very strange sort of q&a from reporters where i think many of
