they accused tiktok of lying, and npr -- spends all of your time attacking you and your family.r tiktok, and not surprisingly, twitter obeyed and suspended this tiktok, alleging hateful conduct. tiktok creator joins us tonight and explains what it's about. i appreciate your coming on. tell us how they construed hateful conduct from your reporting. how was that hateful? >> they said they purposely left it for the imagination, but i can only imagine that reporting on this journalism and something you don't approve of his -- so, you are committing journalism and allowing people to assess what they think of this, and then "the washington post" and npr, and this loathsome website, vice, decides that you must be censored for this? does this seem like the way down mike -- and a version of the way things should be? >> when you see journalists and the media calling for other independent journalists to be silent, they don't just want me band. that's what they should be do doing. you recognize -- >> you recognize the totalitarian impulses with timed -- behind what these organizations are d

and he did it as attorney general i give you and i like this out, he didn't interview with npr when he talked about the massive threat of fraud by the and by the way i talked before about responsiveness. shortly after trump started tweeting everyday about fraud election bill barr pics are rightum up, he did this talk abt the threat at npr had to run an article surely after entitled we allowed -- >> we will break away briefly from our booktv program to take you live to capitol hill for what we believe will be a brief session of the u.s. senate. senators are in recess for the remainder of this month. no votes are expected until the return on september 6. six. now we take you live to the floor here on c-span2.

which is actually recent polling from npr found that the $10,000 in forgiveness alo is actually what'sopular with the american public. some 55% of americans support it. 35% do not support it. but going beyond that is where things can become less popular with the american public. and so again, some democrats like jason furman agree with republicans who are saying that this isn't necessarily fair and what about the students who already repaid all of their loans? and so he said that it could definitely become difficult for the white house to explain that. >> we're very constrained as a country. who is your priority to help? is it a couple making $250,000? is it a single 24-year-old making $75,000? i just don't think those should be the top priorities for policymakers. laura: now ultimately, again, wf students across the country in the past year. students like braxton simpson, and they say, every tim i ask them what's the one thing you'd like to see from president biden now that he's elected to office and the first words out of their mouth were student debt. this is what braxton simpson ha

npr, they are that blunt. i love it. then he goes in front of congress in the same garbage. congress called him out and they said what's your proof, and he said i have done, is just common sense. if i made a serious assertion in a court and the judge said how dome you know? i said i don't have proof, is just obvious, common sense, i would have been thrown out and then he came on cnn september and was very combative insisting there isan massive threat, nothg we can do about it and then he told -- we indicted a case 1700 falls ballots recovered in texas and i'm watching going well, okay, that's substantial. get ready to hear about this. it turned out it wasn't week, d.o.j., it was state prosecutors and it was one single ballot and what did d.o.j. do? they had to walk it back and issue a correction and do you know what they did? their statement said a staffer got it wrong. bill barr has the responsibility, if it's our case, any person who wants the real story, whose case is it? get them on the phone. those three instances and others with the bullet report, first impressions are

it's the equivalent of paying people to watch joy reed, subsidizing an npr pledge drive.sage they do not care about you at all, and they're no longer pretending. j.d. vance, i know you're concerned about student loan debt. is this the way to address it? >> certainly not, tucker. you hit the nail on the head this is effectively a bail-out for a super corrupt education system. if you want to give student debt relief under penalize the people who have benefited from this corrupt system, not asking plumbers in ohio to subsidize the life decision of college-educated young people, primarily young people who will make a lot of money over the course of their lifetime anyway. no. this is exactly the wrong way to do it. if you give the bail-out to the university administrators, they'll keep doubling down on what they've done, effectively indoctrinating our kids, not educating them, giving them useful skills for the job market, but indoctrinating them and getting a small-craft advisories windfall from joe biden in the process. it's corrupt. >> tucker: i don't understand why republic

here's npr headline. samantha b hints tough times for women and poc and light night tv.because when you think of person of color, you think samantha b, a white lady from canada imagine the tough times for true canadians of color. justin trudeau. it's a tragedy that women of prominence was removed from tv. the writer actually said fingers crossed twice. but the only we that's going to happen is if the show actually includes some full frontal. we got to get rid of these people. who are they? did you write that? then of course they mention other canceled shows of obscured women and minorities. the idiot writer says if only they get it. they got a show. that was their chance. and they'll probably get another. never mind that these shows have viewers reaching for the remote like brine stelter reaching for a scoop of cherry flavored ladder. that's why hillary and her daughter now have a show on apple tv plus. i feel bad for the pool that eventually cancel their show. rest in peace, whoever that is. suicide note as already written. the next day the la times ran a piece with thi

senate republicans we are going to pick one big thing and maybe one or two little things like defund npr, defund pbs? i think you have a theory on this. what is the big thing we ought to get around? >> the entire republican conference has to make a decision on that we all know the chaos is. the biden administration is doing that intentionally. we talked about this earlier. we are now a populist party rooted in conservative principal. it is either the border or energy. when the price of energy goes up, that drives the price of everything else. one of those two areas we have to pick that policy and say if you're going to spend at this level, we're going to pass a good budget in the house. it is going to go to the senate and schumer and biden are going to say we have to spend on all kinds of crazy things and we are going to say you want any kind of spreading up there, we have to get a policy that does something good for the country on immigration court border security or energy. that will be a decision. our fiscal year ends september 30. you cannot wait until september 30 -- until september

your face may already be familiar to viewers.i read you are frequently on tele, radio, abc, cbs, npr. you are ml professional by training. now you resident the east bay. are you a local girl? did you grow up here? >> i have been here since high , so i consider myself a local girl. i married a third generation san franciscan. i am a nurse by training. i was pedic critical care nurse. my first job was uc san francisco. i did practice nursing for 20 years before founding the center in the east bay. >> 20 years ago, you founded cer for bioethics and culture. >> i don't believe it but it's n 20 years. time flies. >> definitely. what caused you to take that step? >> i loved medicine, science, ty and certainly working in pediatric critical care nursing at major hospitals, we were always on cutting edge of new technology, new treatment, new . but i was interested in the eths of all the advancements. not just because we can do something do something doesn't mean we sh. so i went and studied bioethics. studied bioethics. >> i noticed you had advanced d, masters. >> it was part of my work that d

a new national poll from npr also found inflation is causing more financial problems for people of color brock in miami and alfredo romero, associate professor of economics at north carolina state university. sam, how are people coping with the high cost of food? >> reporter: jose, good morning. good to be with you. people are very good at detecting value. when you have grocery costs that on one end have gone up 13% year over year in july and restaurant costs that have gone up 7.6%, that gap is the largest it's been in about half a century. when you talk about eating out at restaurants, everything comes all inclusive. if you go with your family to the grocery store and buy the individual ingredients, that adds up. that's when the bills start to balloon. i talked to parents, talked to moms yesterday who said if it's even close, even ball park in terms of pricing, they'd rather eat out because they don't want to worry about cleaning up afterwards. people are certainly getting creative. i spoke with the owner of sergio's in miami, he talked about the behaviors he's observing. >> we're seein

and tamra keith of npr. thank you for being with us today. tamra, i want. . you democratic senator jon tester said he is not sure if the inflation reduction act is going to pass. how much of an impact could this bill ultimately have in motivating democratic voters, as well as undecided? tamara: he said in the interview that judy jested that he is reviewing the measure. it seems pretty likely that all demo -- all democrats are going to get on board for this. because it is such an important -- it would be such an important accomplishments that democrats ca tout ading into the midterms. one of the problems president biden has had in his approval rating is democrats are frustrated, particularly young progressive democrats, are frustrated that his administration and congress has not accomplished enough. this inflation reduction act both has the pr value of literally being called the inflation reduction act when people are worried about inflation and rising costs, but also has a big component of climate and energy related spending that is something that president b

i love npr when they're black that blunt i love that. in congress at the same garbage congress calls about how do youg knowll this? what your proof? i have none it's common sense again if i made a serious assertion in court and the judge said how do you know that and i said i don't have any proof it's just obvious. i would have been thrown out. and then he comes on cnn in september was very combative and said this is not a threat there's nothing we can do about it. we indicted a case for 1700 balsa ballots were recovered in ttexas. i am watching this going wow. that is substantial. get ready to hear about this.al well, turns out it was not d.o.j. state prosecutors it was a one ballot one phony ballots what did they do question or that a walk it back and issue a correction. their statement said staffer got it wrong in a memo. bill barth's responsibility it's our case any person who wants whose case is it? get them on the phone. and so those three instances and others again like with the mueller report. first impressions are so powerful. o

jeffrey: eric deggans is the television critic for npr.ric: michael was constantly sort of reinventing our vision of what black maleness could be, of what black masculinity could be. jeffrey: other actors also saw an unusual talent. "wire" co-star wendell pierce. wendell: what we are actually getting to witness in his young career -- and w're going to see a lot more -- is, like, one of the great american actors giving voice and giving flesh to characters that most people would have never given the same humanity to. jeffrey: chalky white, a prohibition era gangster in "boardwalk empire," freddy knight, a convict who rules the prison in "the night of," montrose freeman, a mysterious traumatized man who has lived through the tulsa massacre in "lovecraft country." williams was a powerful presence in high-profile series for hbo. now, the man behind the characters comes to life in a posthumous memoir, "scenes from my life," co-written with jon sternfeld, who completed the work after williams' death. michael: and this building was where i lived a

senate republicans that we are going to pick one big thing and one or two little things, like defund npr. that would be a nice one, defined pbs -- defund pbs. that would be nice one. what is the big thing that we have to get around and not give up? >> it is probably either the border, we no longer have a border. face it is intentional. >> is no longer a republican issue it is affecting all the communities. >> we are a, thanks to president trump we are a populist party rooted in conservative principles where we should have been. it is either the border or energy. when the price of energy goes up it drives the price of everything else. that is why we have this 41 your high inflation rate. we have the pick that policy and say if you're going to spend at this level, we pass a good budget in the house, a good appreciation -- appropriation in light of where we should be with this debt that we have, and they say we have to spend a pure at all these crazy things. we say if you want to spend up there you have to have a policy that doesn't for the country on immigration, border security i should s

npr, i love that. and then he goes from the congress and he does the same kind of garbage in congress called him out and you know this and he says, i have no proof but is just common sense for you to me to get, if i made a serious assertion in court and the judge said how you know that and i said, having proof, is just obvious kind of thing. i would been thrown out and he came on cnn. in september and was very combative and a massive threat and there was nothing he could do about it and then he told, we indicted the case of 1700 false ballots were recovered in texas and watching this and thinking wow, okay, that is substantial like get ready to hear about this. it was state persecutors it was one single fraudulent ballot modesty of gw, ed markey back and issue a correction you what they did, their statement said some low-level staffer got it wrong in a letter. if this was our case any person who wants a real truth, they get on the phone to make sure. those three instances and other with the mall report

it's like subsidizing an npr pledge drive the message. they do not care about you at all and they're no longer pretending to be . vance is very well educated and still very sensible running for senate in ohio. he joins us tonight. activists events. i know that you are very concerned about student loan debt. any person looks at the numbers. is is this the way to address it? i know it's certainly not booker. i mean, you hit the nail on the head that this is effectively a bailout for a super corrupt educational system. the harvard endowment has sixty dollars billion. the yale endowment has forty million dollars. if you want to give student debt relief, you should penalize the people who have benefited from this very corrupt system, not ask plumbers in ohio to subsidize the life decisions of college educated young people, primarily young people who are going to make a lot of money over the course of their lifetime. anyway. so no, this is exactly the wrong way to do it. and again, if you give this bailout to these university administrators, th

and then npr, which is funded by your tax dollars and spends all of its time attacking you yu and your family for whom they have pure contempt, is pushing to ban lives of tic-tac and then shortly aftertd that, not surprisingly, twitter obeyed and suspended lives. tiktok, alleging hateful conduct so lives of tic-tac creator hierarchic joins us tonight to explain what this is about. i sure appreciate your coming on . tell us ho ow they construed hateful conduct fromhateful your reporting. how is that hateful? diuct d they sayfrom y hi tech? no, they did not say they purposely left for the imagination. but i can only imagine that reporting on doing journalism and reporting on something that they don't approve oethingf is s hateful. that's what they view as hateful now. so you're committing actual journalism, bringing to light facts and allowing people to assess what they think of thos e . that's what journalism is . and then "the washington post", annpr and the loathsome overfunded website vyse decide you must be censored for this. does this seem like an inversion of the way things should

i just wanted to court a pool by npr. phoebe, as to said that the president biden's ratings are down over his handling of ukraine . and the number one concern amongst most americans is inflation. prices are going up and most of them believe that republicans can do a better job of renting in inflation than the democrats. my indication is, what does this mean for the mid tempo that are coming up? oh no, i'm going to get destroyed in the mid terms and the democrats will lose the house. but i, i have, i am incredulous that you found a poll that said that biden's numbers are going down because of ukraine. americans do not know hardly anything about ukraine. they don't vote on the basis of ukraine . they're going down because of inflation. so how much, how much will ukraine be a priority november onwards in the united states? oh, i'm in the united states is already losing interest in ukraine. that's pretty clear a, it's hard for me to imagine that you're going to get the same kind of support for ukraine next year as you got this year. but i promise you that you get the same kind of punishm

. >> let's go to npr. >> thank you for taking my question. i had a question about the epidemiology outbreak. so we are seeing early signs that monkeypox cases might be starting to fall, so i was wondering if your perspective if this could be a turning point, and what does it mean on how to move forward? mr. fenton: dr. walensky, perfect. dr. walenksy: great question. we have started to see globally that we may be turning a corner, we in the u.s. had our first case about two weeks after european countries that we have also started to see turnaround, or turn downward. as you know, there are certain jurisdictions, new york, chicago, san francisco, starting to report a downward trend. i want to be cautiously optimistic, not only because of the downward trend but the data that was just noted by dr. daskalakis, that we are seeing vaccine get out, harm reduction and being heard and implemented, and all of that working together to bend the curve, if you will. i also want to say, week over week, our numbers are increasing although the rate of rise is

and in a recent npr-pbs newshour survey, 60% of americans supported legal abortion through at least the end of the first trimester. you know, it was -- it was bill clinton who said in 1992 that abortion should be legal, safe, and rare. so why has neither party been able to embrace a clear majority position on this issue? >> it's too good an issue to get to get people riled up and get them to the polls. this is all about the base. this is something that they both make money off of. it's a highly -- it's a hot-button issue, highly controversial. and so they they're really -- we're in an election year. there's no real incentive to try to solve it now. it was hard enough to get them together to do the gun bill that recently passed, which is great. i mean, it's a start. it's not -- nobodyot everything they wanted, which is what happens when you have consensus, when you try to reach consensus and compromise. but we're moving forward, and that's a good thing. and it will save some lives. not as many as we could have, but, yeah, it'll save lis. so, unfortunately, this issue is just about bringi

indirectly the relatively unknown in the mid 60s to report on vietnam to the magazine when asked in the nprinterview in 1990 why he went to vietnam he stated this is tough to break down but it has to do with a certain kind of passage. most folks kind of know this is an old motivation but kind of an honest one. but as said one that is hard to describe has to be almost renderedxp in abstract. it's the kind of thing one might read in a hemingway novel. the ramifications outweigh the motivations. the war story is examined that through the destruction of the desired asking what it is. he does this in great lengths both from the examination of america's involvement in the vietnam but also how to desire those around it and himself. gustav does the same thing. the character fully embodies the american tradition of seeing or for the sake of itself. the dehumanizing aspects of the decision in the institutional marine corps and its culminating effects in the battles. the two battles also were experienced. both pushed their narratives to examine the extremes in certain contexts though this is certainly

which would be -- the highest paid federal employee -- and you know that meant, many more interviews on npr, tips on masking. is it three enough? of course, more vital guidance. thanksgiving this year -- dr. fauci will know. he is sitting masked at brian stelter's house. this morning, he announced his abdication. "i will be leaving these positions in december of this year to pursue my next chapter of my career." he's only 81! some of us thought he might be around another 40 years, but he is leaving too soon. what's going on? you think -- is it possible that this nonpartisan man of medicine had thought about what would happen republican congress takes over? on some level, even he knows that he is a dangerous frog, a man who has done things that in most times in history would be understood perfectly clearly to be very serious crimes. you might have to resign before all that -- safe place to hide before the reckoning. there is a lot to answer for. and just the last few years, fauci's recommended treatments and preventative measures for covid not only didn't work, but that he knew didn't work,

the relatively unknown in the 60s as an editor to report on yet on the magazine and asked an npr intervieways in vietnam he stated it's tough to break down. has to do with a certain ritual american passage of courage teso someplace reallyin and looking into it. most folks in and around war this is an old motivation but a very obvious one. as he said on its also hard to describe. it has to be rendered an abstract explained through a metaphor. some folks want to go to war and see if they can hold up. it's a bid to rob and the kind of thing one may read about anna hakki hemingway novel to the ramifications outweighs the motivation. a good war story examines that desire asking what it is about war that makes it so appealing to the. t he does that and in great length in dispatches from the examination of vietnam but how to doeslf the -- it affected the around them and himself. he does the same thing the short timers to the character of the joker fully embodies the american tradition of seeing war for the sake of itself dehumanizing aspects of the institution record and culminating effects in th

i was a reporter in beijing first for the bbc and for npr.or 10 years, and in that capacity, i also kept going back. so i have a very long relationship with hong kong. and my have seen it as home and i life. all of my life. >> you write about your struggles with the need to have journalist impartiality and also being so closely attached to this story, and in fact, the description of it is that it is intensely personal -- how did you end up reconciling the tension between journalism and being involved? >> it was very difficult balance for me. as a journalist, who has really been trained and very long bbc tradition. there was neutrality and writing these pieces where journalists are suspended after the action. they used to call them stand back pieces. i found it very hard to do that was the protest broke out in hong kong. one of the reasons that i did not want to practice that kind of journalism was that constant need for balance and government officials. i was seeing this every day -- calling protesters and rioters right now on the street. and

and then, the obergefell decision in 2014 as that legalized gay marriage, there were npr reports that were like this gay organization had an advocate for marriage quality forever, what will it do now? it is like, it we are going to disband, it has been achieved, full inclusivity. this is about a certain kind of identity based politics being all about inclusion as opposed to systematic routine. display-index=> yes yes, yes. because capitalism is triumphant. because capitalism is triumphant, why would there be an alternative is the mindset. you have equal access to participate in capitalism. >> yes, yes, you can compete on anyone's ground and on anyone's terms. >> so, from what i am understanding capitalism is like with gay marriage, did i just hear that gay marriage was legalized, the gay community can engage in capitalism? >> sort of, it is more that as opposed to thoroughly connected critiques of all parts of a society that were marginalized and exclude people. it is not about a whole society that is wrapped up in excluding and marginalizing some people. the critique of that falls aw
