you have a rave review in "the new york times" and blurbed by rod rosenstein. >> you're the first person whose noticed that rod rosenstein was the first person to blurb this, i've been waiting for consternation on all sides. he had been u.s. attorney in maryland and one of the heroes of the story is one of his predecessors as u.s. attorney in maryland. the reason that i wanted to do the podcast, the reason i wanted to do the book, was because of the civic role, i think, there is for telling stories of civic heroism. there's a reason we tell each other fables and stories about heroic action and courage and selfless sacrifice. and it's to not only teach ourselves what that looks like, but to try to get us to imagine that we could do it ourselves if the times ever called on it from us. this is one of those stories where it is helpful to remember that there have been other just brazen crooks in the white house, literally. agnew was taking bags of cash inside his white house office. but even more important it is to remember that people acting against their partisan interests, people acting in

agriculture to industry there was this stock of the in the economy the big structural push by god like rosenstein to a dam and this stock is from the 19 fifties sixties and seventies and it got further but as in the 1990 s. will die will be economically fargo this is when industry is growing and there is employment in industry now india is at a stage where last year we had more unemployment than the last 45 years so when those were at the alternative and we undercut the conditions that the farmers act in already where are they going to go so is this out it did model of reform that is being pushed on people with lot of done it gives a great don't. power to be co-parents on which this government wants to hear the prime minister says this is a politically motivated move by by the opposition to the whole of the reform process but when you look at the consensus that has been prevailing india since the sixty's is that for the government to give a sense of dignity to the small farmers there needs to be always this minimum support price which is the m.s.p. to ensure that people will never be able to be m

second part, an incoming attorney general, recall when mueller was appointed, attorney general rosenstein appointment of mueller, there will be pressure with a new attorney general coming in but a lot more difficult now that he has been designated special counsel because there will be political pressure to finish his investigation and they will say we let mueller into it so you have to let during him. jillian: i've got to get to this. william barr is using special counsel law for purpose not intended to continue a politically motivated investigation long after that, a politically motivated fashion by appointing a special counsel. the iron is quite rich. >> you can't respond to it. >> appreciates it. the new york city bar declared an autonomous zone has been shut down, for defining restriction on indoor dining, he was arrested after refusing to cooperate. he and co-owner spoke with us about the flight earlier this week. >> we can't close again. >> wise everybody allowed to cram themselves into best buy, but my establishment seems to be the only place to contact corona. >> it is unclear wha

what you have done in spite of what has happened to you personally and even standing and thest rosenstein things you have done is impressive. when you say there are don't even see it as narrative i see it as indoctrination. even what happened in the recent past with trying to convince the general public that our president is a russian asset and there are people out there that still believe that is true. it seems almost criminal what our media is able to propagate and get away with and also what has recently happened with the election. if you are a journalist but does work for corporate media and you againsto say something their agenda, they will fire you. in light of that, are there any new sources currently available, independent once you would recommend to people? used to be a good example but now they have become -- they propagate opinions and narratives or trying to push an agenda. is there anything you would recommend in your professional opinion that people could go to? independent journalists or sources? host: thank you. guest: there discussion in the last chapter of "slanted" abou

you even have some musing by rod rosenstein, there's disputed reporting on that after the firing of jimt he had raised this idea sarcastically or seriously or whatever. i think what would happen if the president decided to try to somehow engage the military is that you would get a passive version of the 25th amendment by which i mean rather than treating a directive from the president as a lawful order from the commander in chief, they would treat it as a nutty idea from somebody who is nuts right now and would find some way to ignore it. this is something that came up in the end of richard nixon's presidency when his defense secretary told other people in the chain of command if you get an order from the president -- this is before nixon resigned -- run it by me or henry kissinger first before implementing it because he was look to go break the idea that richard nixon would do something crazy. i think the u.s. military would do the same thing this time. >> john harwood, thank you for the reporting on both fronts this morning. >>> we also have new disturbing details this morning on the
