i have written over 1000 stories about trump just in the "wall street journal." i wanted to give people something, a a reason to keep turning the pages here. so i do think this book is the only one to date that explaineds trump with inside the room details from the oval office, under the hood of the two billion-dollar campaign exclusive memos, text messages and into some of the decision-making process they are. and another unique piece of this is the front row joes. i effectively embedded for two years with the people who go to 30, 40, 50, by the end of 2020, 60 rallies. what i wanted to do here was understand through them a little bit more about this movement, what about them as people, as men and women have been coming back again and again to effectively see the same show. and what it told us about trump that he could elicit this kind of energy. and what i found was yeah, i was very, very lucky that these folks trusted me to tell their story and i will forever be grateful. i think it really enriched my reporting and understanding of this movement in our country

michael's conversation partner here this evening has been the columnist for the wall street journal since she's also the author of 9 books, u.s. politics history and culture, most recent of which was time of our lives. so michael and peggy, the screen is yours. >> thank you. thank you so much, brad. it is wonderful to be back at politics and pros where i had some of my most wonderful and most spirited and most full of back and forth readings from past books and q&a's with your audiences and i hope when this is all over and i have another book out i can come back and see you all again. it is great to spend an hour on this august evening with mike bender, senior white house reporter as you know as fred said for the wall street journal. i'm a columnist on the op-ed page. he's a major presence and a highly regarded colleague. mike, why don't we just jump in here. i loved your book. i admire it for many things including your love of fact, your deep reporting, your fair-mindedness and your calm tone as you paint one over the top event after another you must have thought that in itself is a very

host: it should be noted that " the wall street journal" takes a look at the u.k. and highlight the fact that in the u.k. about 25% of their power is produced by wind power. guest: right. and i am not sure -- i trust that that is correct, so i think there is a lot that we need to do to be investing in wind power and solar power so that we are moving to that 100% electricity standard. host: is it achievable to replace whatever runs on petroleum with alternative sources of energy? guest: absolutely, but i do not think this is an immediate sort of step. this is something that we will be working towards over years and decades to really get it right so that there is not about turning off a light and then all of a sudden we have switched over. this is a process that has to be equitable and taken into consideration of the existing industries and what we need for the transition. host: randy from michigan. caller: goodi would like to stay thanking you and all the men and women that it takes to bring us this program and your guest for being here on this subject. my question

nbc news cannot confirm this but "the wall street journal" is reporting that while no group has claimed responsibility western governments did earlier this week warn of islamic states regional affiliate isis-k. the u.s. envoy in kabul, again from "the wall street journal," told staff that four marines why killed and three of the injured in an attack, an american official familiar with this briefing a senior afghan help official tells "the wall street journal" the death toll of afghan civilians is 60 with more, quote, fighting for their lives. the united states now relies on the taliban for security the president had promised in a statement back on friday of last week that if any of our operations were disrupted or any of our troops were harmed, there would be swift and forceful response the president spent much of the morning, we're told, in the situation room with advisers and others, assessing the situation and getting reports. he's now in the oval office, we're told, taking briefings from his defense department and others we're led to believe we will have some sort of statement at so

host: "wall street journal" congressional reporter kristina peterson is with us to talk about the houseoming back for a brief amount of work this week. good morning. guest: good morning. host: it is supposed to be august recess, what brings them back to session? guest: the house is only scheduled to be in for two days, but it could be very suspenseful days. earlier this month, the senate passed a roughly $1 trillion structure bill, and the budget resolution, which is the first step in the process known as reconciliation that will allow democrats, if they can stay united, to pass a larger $3.5 trillion budget package. and so, what we have developing now is a standoff between house speaker nancy pelosi and the group of nine moderate house democrats. and on the surface, it is a disagreement about which of those bills comes up first, but really this is a big fight over the overall strategy for democrats on passing both of these bills. and we have been at a standoff for a week and a half, and it will all come to a head tonight and tomorrow when the house takes its first procedural vote on ad

"the wall street journal" has this amazing piece about this interpreter who in 2008 saves senator joethe snowy area of afghanistan, this interpreter is trapped there and is pleading with president biden to help him and others like him get out, it is a dire situation, and i think, john, unfortunately we will see the real taliban show up in just a few days. >> john: what you expect him to say this afternoon? the white house and the pentagon, suggesting we continue to have leverage with the taliban to get out the americans that want to get out, but as we saw before, once they shut the gates on the country, it's pretty hard to get in. >> very hard, and i think he is going to say that they will put diplomatic pressure and that the taliban once recognition and the money and the trade, but that just goes and flies in the face of what we know about them in the past, i also think that he has some empathy to a midtier because of the lives lost. you saw this reporting of the families who met with him who described him as bristling sometimes at talk of each individual marine, obviously the image

and moments ago, breaking news, a "wall street journal" report that fox news has now confirmed saying state department officials, two dozen of them at the kabul embassy sent a memo to top brass last month warning of the potential collapse of kabul soon after the august 3 st troop withdrawal deadline. we will have more on that breaking story in a moment. first, correspondent trey yingst is in our middle east newsroom with the latest on the ground in afghanistan. good evening, trey. >> bret, good evening. according to nato, 12 people have died in and around the kabul airport since sunday as the situation remains extremely dangerous. gunfire erupts outside of the airport in kabul as civilians scrowch near the ground. mothers hoist babies over walls and bashed wire handing their children to british and american soldiers. for foreigners who have the correct paperwork, leaving kabul is proving to be extremely difficult. for many afghans, it's nearly impossible. >> one of the soldiers just called me, as i said there was chaos. they had guns. they were shooting. they had no choice but to remo

[laughter] >> so the wall street journal's acting as the origination for sources.ughter] you know you are in a dark. when that is your mutual fund. that is pretty remarkable. he masterfully played the idea of scarcity and playing these folks off each other an earlier conversation. i became a self-fulfilling prophecy for this to happen. and another topic governance as it relates to public companies pursuant to subject to which was a public market for these types. this is not subject to that as a business it's outside the regulatory regime. do talk for a moment on the governments failures. maybe get some anecdotes for example -- his. [inaudible] >> sure. there he early on had this whole idea founder control. it is kind of off in this whole era that founders did not want to be pushed out as the company got bigger and bigger. there was a small supply of companies. they were exercising their right to try to take more votes than they could never get pushed out. and adam newman watched travis do this. so many other companies the founders and get instead of one vote per sh

he told "the wall street journal" editorial page that he is being contacted by u.s.y translators in families have visas ready to leave who are stuck there. >> and then we have families of we have parents we have in-laws, more importantly we have wives and children with no visas that belong to someone, who is here in the u.s., that already has a visa, already trusted and is already pro-american they want to come over here enjoy freedoms that you and i have, i am not going to talk about administration that is another subject we first started this conversation was about creating emergency programs within customize sand immigration i have been trying to keep up on headlines how declined few hours what are we going to do send patrols to find families they are scared to go into their own streets man, wife and child i am pleading with them i want teer careful they are very, very close to airport in kabul, a half hour distance we will say. i am pleading with them get your family to the airport, we will figure out how to get past security they are too afraid there are patrols

if you would like to read more by mike pence, wall street journal. harry, republican. caller: the two people i blame, and i have seen them on tv, general milley. he is talking about white supremacy and secretary austin wants to investigate the same thing. these people kept us in there for 20 years. as far as trump goes, he had a deal made. we did not get attacked by the taliban the last six months in office. the whole world is laughing at biden. our so-called allies, they know what he is. this guy shouldn't even be in office. there is something wrong with him. it looks like he lost his way to the white house. he cannot think. that is what the problem is with this country. he is the biggest racist at all. if you are black, you can't be a racist is that right? host: steve in florida, independent. caller: good to talk to you. if you look at the problem, there is ignorance on both sides other has been ignorance for over 50 years. we haven't understood from the historical point of view -- like in the crusades. people don't understand the crusades. that was a focus of islam

sha hua, you're based in hong kong for the wall street journal.recognise the atmosphere that steve has just described there? there is tight state control of media and obviously also a tight control sometimes of the sources that we want to talk to. and i think there has been insufficient reporting on the sort of tightening grip on a lot of areas in hong kong. now, i'm reporting from hong kong on issues like climate or the vaccine or social issues, so i can't really speak to how it is for hong kong reporters to report on hong kong. i can, ithink, bettertalk about what it's like to be in hong kong and report on mainland china. and as you do that, and as you seek the voices that you need to hear from to tell those stories, how willing are people to to participate in the journalism that you're seeking to pursue when they know you're from an american newspaper? so i think over the years, the grip of the state has obviously tightened around a lot of institutions and experts who might in the past have been more willing to speak to us. but i would also say

but one thing, it bothered me a lot, this vivian article in the wall street journal on the scoop thats in kabal and blinken essentially said predicted that if we left right away is fine, the taliban with over the country and it will you make of that. why was that morning he did do you think. ryan: that came through a special channel, just for such issues, major policy disagreements call the distant generally of use it myself. and so that was what this was, the dissent against the prevailing policy. and it requires it to be read by the secretary of state himself. and he acknowledged that he had rented read and no one is explained why there is no action taken upon it. so again, doesn't mean that people were just completely inept or completely determined not to hear any advice possibly but there's also the chaos of the moment. but the point really is, is not simply that message, the message should not be sent because we must have known that the afghans security forces. we must have known that this really was not going to be anything to slow the taliban down and once they started moving.

the wall street journal reporting, the white house is likely to sign off on a booster shot for vaccinated adults, starting at least six months after the previous dose, instead of eight months as we have been told, new data from johnson & johnson indicates that an extra shot of its vaccine can dramatically raise antibodies, against the virus, today the gop senate leader offered up one of the strongest endorsements for vaccines that we have seen yet. from a member of the republican party. >> there's a lot of on truth, call it what you will information bouncing around on social media, let me tell you what is a fact, the fact is, 90% of the people in the hospitals in kentucky and around the country have one thing in common. they are unvaccinated. so, if you know somebody that is not vaccinated, for goodness sake, get vaccinated. >> delta airlines ramping up corporate pressured to get their workers vaccinated, starting november, one any delta employee, who remains unvaccinated, will have to pay an additional $200 a month, in order to stay on delta's health care plan. with that, we bring in our

and "the wall street journal" publishes a case against it. how can both be true?oining me now is the author of the research published dr. peter benjamin, co-chair and duke university abc collaborative. i'm also joined by you one of the authors on "the wall street journal" article against masks dr. codey meister. he's also the member of the committee that advises the fda on vaccine decisions. doctors, thank you for being here. let us start with the easter stuff. dr. benjamin, anyone eligible for the vaccine should be vaccinated, right? >> correct. >> dr. misener, anyone eligible for the vaccine should be vaccinated, right? >> michael, yes. and let me say thank you very much for the opportunity to participate this morning. it's wonderful to be on the show. it's also a pleasure to be on the show with dr. benjamin who is a well established authority in pediatric infectious disease. >> okay. i'd begin with you dr. meissner, why don't you agree with him if you hold him in high regard? >> well, i think the -- what you will find, as we go through our discussion right now,

you got this. >> so the wall street journal was acting as a source. you know you're in a dark period. but yes, it's pretty remarkable. >> it was he masterfully play the idea and playing these. of each other as we said earlier in our conversations before he became a promise. and another copy, is the concept of governance as it relates to public companies pursuant to subject to fossil which was the public market share for these types of things. this is not subject to that as a class of business but outside of the regulatory regime but could you talk for a moment on the governance failures and maybe get some anecdotes that we have of how they help facilitate this on how to act in ace conciliatory manner, how would you turn it? >> so very early on in this, they had this will idea of thunder control and it took off in this era. that founder didn't want to be pushed out by vcs as the company got bigger and bigger. there was a small size company so they were exercising their right to try to take votes so they could never get pushed out. and adam newman watch

compare that with also the usually conservative editorial board of the "wall street journal."hey read the priority should be to rescue and escape trapped americans, but they also have a duty to thousands of afghans that are in moral -- mortal danger. they are rightly trying to evacuate them to a third country where they sit and await visa decisions. the u.s. house passed a bill that allows 8000 additional vetoes. they write gop hostility to these afghans is a mistake. there is a difference between lawlessness and afghans who earn the right to emigrate in lawful program. conservatives claim to believe in american exceptionalism and they once took pride in welcoming exiles from up there -- authoritarian lands." taking this topic until the top of the hour at 8:00 a.m. eastern, this is mark in new hampshire. good morning. caller: good morning. this is so mixed up. first of all, i think, no, we should not be bringing all of these afghan refugees to the united states. where is the united nations? what have they been doing? they are not a peacekeeping organization like they used to b

gerry: hello and welcome to the wall street journal at large i am james freeman filling in for gerryaker. a much bigger government and who's going to pay for, president joe biden and congressional democrats are working to enact a $3.5 trillion spending increase financed in part by higher taxes despite vice president kamala harris assuring us that the unfettered spending of the left will not impact middle americans. >> and suggest that we are clear, we are not going to raise middle-class taxes to pay for. because that's what the president promised and that's what we must deliver. james: we'll see about that the $3.5 trillion spending surge will land on top of another pending $1 trillion spending increase described as infrastructure and finance mainly by accounting gimmicks and all of this is on top of the nearly $2 trillion spending increase described as covid related but enacted in march. mitch mcconnell reacting to these proposals i accusing democrats of being reckless to government spending. >> the policies they want to put behind the budget resolution is like 70 walked across the

again, that was on the pages of the wall street journal and online as well. our next caller from texas. >> my opinion on trump is he has done more for america than the rest of these politicians have done over the last 50 years. all they want to do is line their pockets. trump brought america back. the countries who have owed us money for the last 50 years, he made them pay their bills. cough up their cash because they owed us for the last 50 years. he is the only one that has done anything for america. to help our country. >> that was daniel in stanford, texas. >> 40 miles north of abilene. >> thank you. another texan from laredo. >> my parents were democrats, but i voted for donald trump. with all due respect, god bless america and not bless donald trump. let me tell you what is going on here at the border. 60% of the people that are crossing are positive. nobody is saying nothing, they are releasing them all over the country and if my parents had to wait in line, what happened to this country? we had to wait in line to come into the country. i had to learn
