so that's just broken tonight in "the wall street journal." in addition to that very big new news tonight, here's something about the fight over this investigation. i tried to give a little heads up about this on last night's show. we flagged this letter from the republican chairman of the senate judiciary committee, chuck grassley, and senator lindsey graham, they wrote a letter to the fbi requesting the fbi hand over all its warrants requests, all its draft warrant requests that they issued so far in their russia investigation and in the investigation into whether the trump campaign colluded with russia. they also have demanded to see the response that the courts have given after the fbi has made these requests for warrants. now, as i said last night, what lindsey graham and chuck grassley appear to be up to with this request is not only attempting to lay bare everything the fbi is working with in their investigation, but it would appear to be part of them trying to discredit and say it all stemmed from that famous dossier of allegations aga

>> i had already been a reporter at "the wall street journal" for 20 years.ut the last ten of those years i had been a computer hobbyist, some of the older privative computers that were around at that time, learning how to program, how to slaughter inside of them because you hav had to o that kind of stuff in those days and, you know, i had no computer science background i just kind of got hooked on it, and i realized that although computers have been around for a little while by then, the day were still not many in the hands of average people, not none, but not many. and then, to master them and be able to get usefulness out of them took way too much time and effort. you have to kind of become a techie. i decided that there was a column in championing average people who never wanted to be and in challenging the companies in the industry to serve those people, so i proposed the column for "the wall street journal" and they bought it so that is why i made the transition. >> the first column of 1991 was about personal computers and how hard they were to use. ha

so i proposed that to the wall street journal and they bought it. that's why i made the transition. >> your first column in 1991 was about personal computers and how hard they work to use. >> yet. >> has that changed over the years? >> yeah, it has gotten better. one reason is because the industry got the memo. it wasn't just me. other people wrote similar kinds of columns. they worked to make it easier and then i think consumers have gotten more sophisticated. the real personal computer that people use most today, as you of asis not what we think a pc or mac, it is your phone. and that -- you can we have both seen this in our lives -- you can hand it to a child and it is not hard for them to figure out the phone. but if you ask a child to type in the demands of .dos, they could not do that. so the gap has narrowed tremendously. with new technologies coming all of the time, i believe we are going to see, in the next five or 10 years, a burst of new stuff. virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence. and i think all kinds of new ways

so out the crooks on wall street soi out the crooks on wall street so i think we do a pretty good jobso many unions and millions of working people throughout my country. do you still call yourself a democratic socialist? absolutely. for you, redistribution isa for you, redistribution is a key to economic reform? i think, stephen, is a key to economic reform? ithink, stephen, that from an economic and moral — the pope, pope francis, who have a lot of respect for, raises this issue on a very profound way — we as a nation, my country, has got to ask ourselves about the morality of the situation where the top one tenth of 1% now owns more wealth or as much wealth as the bottom 90%. where 52% of all new income goes to the top 1%. where globally the top 1% now owns more wealth than the bottom 99%. iam more wealth than the bottom 99%. i am less interested in the top 1%, all0.1% i am less interested in the top 1%, all 0.1% billionaires and multi— millionaire ‘s, iam and multi— millionaire ‘s, i am interested in professional people who, in the united states, might be earning $100,000 a year, i

and so i proposed that column to the "wall street journal," and they bought it. so that's why i made the transition. >> host: and, in fact, your first column in 1991 was about personal computers and how hard they were to use. >> guest: yeah. >> host: has that changed over the years? >> guest: yeah. it's gotten better. for two reasons, one is the industry has gotten the memo, and it wasn't just me, it was a whole bunch of other people who then began to write similar kinds of columns. market forces and other things. they've worked to make it easier. and then i think the consumers have gotten a little more sophisticated. the real personal computer that people use most today, as you know, is not what we think of as a pc or a mac, it's your phone. and that, we've all seen this in our lives, you can hand it to a child x it's not very hard for the child to figure out the phone whereas if you is asked the child to type in the commands of dos, they couldn't do that. so in that sense, the thing has, the gap has narrowed tremendously. however, we have new technologies comin

let's bring it-- wall street says new record highs, putting in money for the future of the economic growth, not what president obama did eight years ago. it's for the future and if jessica's studies were right and there's going to be $8 trillion of lost gdp, there's no one in their right mind on wall street that would put money into that. >> it's fascinating. the piece on the startups they were going to struggle because of paris climate agreement and then you have this individual come out and basically say he's running one of the companies, oh, no, our investments are going to be fine. yes, it's disheartening that we're not part of the paris climate agreement, but clean energy, those investments are going to continue because the united states is a leader in terms of innovation, of clean energy, as well as oil and energy production. so, i think that even say that that's going to impact the investment in these companies, i think, is ridiculous and i also think when you're talking about the taxpayers have to foot the pill, $2.5 billion that would have to go to a green climate fund that was no
