apple is telling some people that you get full access to the wall street journal, whereas the wall streetal sent out a memo from its ceo earlier indicating the subscription service would not cover the journal in its totality, that some business news would be exclusive to people paying higher subscription rates. so until that is sorted out, i cannot comment completely. but i think apple will probably get its way here. if that is what they are telling people i think that's what is going to happen. emily: these magazines, they look amazing on the ipad, but you are talking about an industry that is already resource starved. do these magazines and newspapers have the resources and staff to build out an entirely new experience to make it worth it? >> great question. like you said, they showed some great demos with the floating city video on the cover of national geographic and all these cool things. but there's a lot of work involved in making those happen. people have had the opportunity to get digital magazines before, and it has not become a huge business. i think this is a good thing apple

an investigative reporter for the wall street journal.at is your finding in terms of when the last contact might have been about pardons? >> well, this would have been, so the raid was in april and then this would have been in the couple of months after that because things started to erode with michael cohen and the president probably about mayish and then i think in july is when he went on george stephanopoulos and said i'm going to protect my family and i'm -- they are the ones i'm loyal to. by that time, the discussions were obviously over. and -- go ahead. >> but why wouldn't michael cohen's view of protecting his family include getting a pardon from the president? >> well, i mean, what we're reporting is that he was largely rebuffed or there wasn't immediate commitment made in the conversations between his lawyer steven ryan and the president's lawyers that, you know, as you noted, the most possibility was held up by rudy giuliani who said we're not going to have any discussions right now about a pardon but maybe down the road if the

"wall street journal" says the deal is in its final stages. they cut tariffs, we cut tariffs. they buy a lot of our stuff, we insist they stop selling -- stealing our technology. they pass a new joint venture law to end forced technology transfers. okay. the easy things taken care of, the hard stuff depends on enforcement. plans are being made for a summit in mar-a-lago. all looks promising. investors like it. ten straight weeks of gains for the nasdaq, a terrific year for stocks across the board so far, and this monday morning, it looks like the dow will be up triple digits again. now, the dow still 800 points away from its record. i'm not going to forecast when we will hit a new high but many of the folks on the show this morning will say it's going to get there soon. >>> then we have president trump, wow, was he on a roll at the cpac conservative conference. he hugged the flag, wowed the crowd, gave his unfiltered views on just about every issue including the federal reserve, and he defined the 2020 election. it's capitalism, trump, versus socialism, all democrats. and he r

. ♪ [music] >> hello and welcome to the wall street journal at large.es in politics as in life, it is a good idea to just get away. this week, president trump seems to be following the old adage. his exploit and fixer, michael cohen, made headlines telling a congressional committee in washington that his former boss was a treat, conmen and racist. mr. trump was about as far away as is possible traveling all the way to vietnam to meet with kim jong-un. the leader of north korea. now as it turned out he may well be that neither of the two events showtime in washington and the showdown in hanoi, what proved to have much consequence. well mr. cohen to letter the presidents critics with a seven hour denunciation of mr. trump 's character, the impact of testimony may be muted somewhat by the fact that he has already copped to a charge of perjury. and in hanoi, mr. trump and his partner failed to reach an agreement and eliminated north korea 's nuclear threat. yet both events underscore just how unusual the trump presidency continues to be. the current spectac

in fact, we are now living through what my colleagues at the wall street journal last weekend described as the hottest jobs market in half a century. all sorts of people the journal reported who previously had difficulty finding work are now employed. racial minorities, relatively less well educated. people working the lowest paying jobs are getting pay raises. in many cases, their expressing the lowest unemployment rate ever recorded for their groups. they are joining manufacturing workers and those with criminal records among others in finding approved job prospects of the years of disappointment. it is worth recalling this remarkable picture will consider some of the political and policy context. much was made about this week of other data that showed the u.s. trade deficit hit its highest level ever last year. these numbers are unlikely to please president trump who after all, has made cutting the trade deficit a key priority of his administration. but the trade picture needs to be set alongside the job story. when an economy is growing as strongly as this, with big increases in emp

"wall street journal" is known for very good financial reporting.chael sanchez says the deal was. last fall when he learned "the enquirer" was in pursuit of his sister and the amazon founder he knew the story would come out. he made a deal he says to delay the story a couple months, to give the couple time to firm up the relationship. because he thinks the scandal would have blown it out of the water. in exchange he offered to provide the parent company, american media ink with a photo tip off where they would be embracing or kissing. that is disputed from sources with ami saying they were not ready to go to the story last october. published early january. hadn't been nailed down a lost different versions. >> yeah. >> first time michael sanchez admitting to doing some kind of deal with the "national enquirer," whether or not it involved the six-figure payment remains unclear. susan: that is important to note. how did they get the racy text messages as well, and the photos of jeff bezos, compromising photos? >> one possibility i reported, by the way
