bobby allen covers technology g for npr and marcia coyle is our supreme court analyst. do on the 19th? the tiktok lawyer said that it would go dark. >> on january 19 apple and google will be forced to remove tiktok from app store's meaning new users cannot download it and bytedance cannot send software updates. and web hosting services will have to sever ties meaning it will not have any cloud supports. that will be a huge problem for the people taking videos, and trying to use tiktok because it will cripple the infrastructure. reporter: what were the justices focusing on in the arguments today? >> they were focused on the reasons that congress and the administration have given to justify the law as bobby just stated it. it had to do with the fact that the chinese government, through its close alignment with bytedance, the china-based owner of tiktok, may engage in covert content manipulation as well as its collection of the data of private citizens, americans, about 100 77 million americans and their contacts and use both of those to undermine national security. report

list of a very tough year for the washington post , lost 250,000 subscribers in the last we heard from nprsing a big string of high profile reporters and honestly, i have to tell you just before came on i went to check if the democracy dies in darkness logan is on their front page because for a second i was like, it is still on the front page. but there are people within the washington post that wonder how much longer that slogan that came about in the height of the washington post versus the new york times reporting on the trump administration, how much longer that slogan will last. >> by the way, this is no knock at the cartoon but it is not been especially provocative cartoon. it is pretty standard of the genre and it is from the left but she is an editorial cartoonist. >> because ann is a cartoonist and it made me think of charlie abdo, the french satirical publication, was attacked three times in three different terrorist attacks including a firebombing , including a terrorist attack that killed 12 people and it survives today. and "the washington post" kills the cartoon that is likel

of situation that was not done to the degree he claimed it was, he claimed there was 90,000 acres, npr report a few years ago found it was less than 12,000. those were policy decisions that had ramifications which whether he had an r or d after his name that would be a failure and all the failures regarding karen bass in the fire department and everything that could have been done to prevent this type of circumstance which i think this should be a wake-up call for californians that they need to stand up themselves as voters and demand the kind of changes that need to take place particularly the regulatory changes. otherwise we will not see the palisades rebuilt in our lifetime because it's the kind of thing they have so many barriers against that kind of thing in california it will be impossible to make a comeback. stuart: forgive me for this but yesterday california state lawmakers held a special session to trump proof the stage. where are the priorities? trump derangement syndrome has reached a new level in that state. >> it is insane and it is also i think very deceptive, a way for

reporter: , from npr. t in your five year reviewhe, you said that the 2% inflation target will not be on the table. can you talk a bit about why? is that because you think that is the right target or because you don't want to move the goalposts? what is behind that? chair powell: i think that goal has served us well over a long periods of time. it is also a sort of global standard. i think if the central bank wanted to look at changing that, he wouldn't do it at a time when you are not meeting it anyway. i wouldn't look at changing it anyway but i certainly wouldn't look at it at a time when you are not meeting it. there is no interest at all in changing it, if i am being at all unclear. we will not change the inflation goal anytime soon. [laughter] reporter: and five years ago, if i could paraphrase what you all decided was, you are going to not raise interest rates preemptively to head off inflation until you see -- because the labor market was so beneficial. have the last few years changed your thinking

for the political stakes of the moment, we are joined tonight by tamara keith of npr and andrew desiderionews. amy walter is away. welcome to you both. as we continue covering these destructive wildfires out west, the state's governor and los angeles's mayor are fending off attacks from donald trump and his allies, namely elon musk. how is this unfolding and what is at stake if donald cuts off or withholds federal disaster relief? tamara: to be fair, they are also fending off criticism from residents of their own states, who are frustrated with the response and, you know, the reality is that these fires move so fast and so furious, it was like hundreds of simultaneous house fires they were trying to fight, so there's only so much that can or could be done in that moment. but, yeah, the politics broke out immediately. i mean, the fires were 0% contained when the politicization of the fires was well underway. the question is what does that mean for california? and, you know, it probably does not help california that there is a republican trifecta in washington and california is a blue state

. >> we will be looking at everything from government- funded media programs like npr. >> we should beh 99 industries. >> we are on the brink of to trillions, and he just lost the spending class headed into the new year if you were tuned out of the news, basically, he showed a misunderstanding of certain budget details and used his power to delay of bill but then it got past, but he did get a china rule gutted from the final package which, benefits his business, note the pattern. now he's begun changing some claims, he said it won't be necessarily $2 trillion in cuts. maybe he's learning as he goes. but if you actually follow u.s. news, you might already know what elon musk appears to be learning. because you probably have watched past battles about spending, from the gingrich era to the obama era, many talk about massive cuts. when you get into it, the big- ticket federal government spending items are well, things like this, trillions right, it's big money but on safety net programs like social security and healthcare, the united states military, defense, and then what you have to do

. >> saying stop talking about npr and walk into the show and carol it is a lot bigger the democratsstakes than that. than all being in the same amen corner all ringing "new york times" story talking to each other and not listening to the rest of america it is not just jargony talk carol right? >> it is what they believe. i wrote a piece for foxnews.com as a post mortem saying number one thing that democrats didn't understand in the election is that you cannot buy authenticity and relatability and no matter how hard they try democrats right now don't have any core principles and to paint them in their authentic light is to paint them as elitist they don't care about the average americans. they think that frankly everybody is beneath them. and that's why we saw this last election liz is not just a left versus right type of fight. it was the elites versus main street and i think this has been a tremendous opportunity that the republicans have capitalized on and they need more main is street representation to be that authentic voice that the democrats lack. >> their policies are so out
