the american wall street journal reports that after the terrorist attacks on the nord stream 1 and 2ines, european countries began patrolling gas and oil pipelines, for example, the italian fleet sent mine- clearing ships to this, as well as unmanned submarines , patrolling is carried out not only in the mediterranean but also in the baltic and north seas, emergency security measures taken to protect submarine internet cables and wall street journal articles it follows that such anxiety oppresses only the europeans, while the americans, on the contrary, remain completely calm. another point of the publication is undoubtedly called a terrorist attack just an act of sabotage. agree, these two circumstances can serve as a thick allusion to the authors of sabotage on russian pipelines. the amazon workers' strike must have spoiled many americans, both thanksgiving and black friday, these two events this year coincided on november 25, which should have come from the peak of the online store, however, in in the united states and germany, dozens of warehouses and sorting points have closed,

here is how the wall street journal described ron desantis's appearance at that meeting. they right no one generated more excitement than the florida governor who had a primetime speaking spot saturday night and walked onto the stage to a unmatched at others at that meeting. here is ron desantis on saturday. >> what we have shown his people respond to strong leadership. if you look at our election results, we had the biggest election margin that any governor has had in the history of the state of florida. if you look at who we were winning, we were winning across the board. you do not get that type of victory only getting republicans. we had a great republican turnout. we also decisively won the middle. we won more democrats than any governor has done for a long time. we are winning people regardless of the boxes the media wants to put people in. we treat people as individuals and they responded. you can be strong and to get things done and you can attract a huge coalition because most people realize there is a lot that has gone wrong in our country, particularly over the

so i wrote a response that was picked up and publish the the wall street journal. so i ended my year is december 30 it came out in the wall street journal has me talking about the story and debunking the study. and thankfully the study ended up being peer-reviewed and the change they change the title of the study. they gotam rid of the section where they were naming all the channels. from where the authors of the study said you see, science works. i said kind of weird in order to read the updated study it's behind a pay wall so you paid $10 to read the updated study meanwhile thehe previous study s up for anybody to read. if anybodyut out there is think about far right radicals may be for the right price. but generally speaking everyday of my life i'm not. >> for you a trump supporter? supporter.t a trump the year that he ran i voted for gary johnson. i actually campaigned i was at the final stop for the wells johnson campaign in san diego, california. it was the day before the election. i was registered to vote in your prayers trying to listen with her going to whe

writing for the newspaper ever since. >> host: jason, i think many viewers and readers of the "wall street journal" were kind of impressed with a journal editorial page separating the issues of some people talking about trump's personality from the issues of trump policies. can you give us, before we get into the substance of this book, can you kindly give us a bit of insight behind the scenes, , sot of how that emerged? >> guest: i think what you saw there from the editorial page editors were journalists who were doing their job. their job was to cover this president the weight they had covered previous presidents, in terms of analyzing his policies, what he set out to do, whether he accomplished it, and what kind of impact it had. and the journal did you plenty of criticizing of president trump's character and twitter feed and all the rest. but they did not let that get in the way of carrying out their journalistic duties. i think that's where a lot of other mainstream journalists aired and went wrong. and to think subsequently have lost the trust of a lot of their viewers, their readers, listen

which is fox, the "wall street journal," and the no longer

in about six after graduation i joined the wall street journal and i've been writing for that newspaper ever since. >> so, jason many viewers and readers of the wall street journal were kind of impressed with the journal editorial page separating the issues of some people talking about trumps personality from the issues of trauma policies. can you give us a little bit before we get into the of the book, can you give us a little insight behind the scenes of how that emerged? >> i think what you saw on their in terms of analyzing his policies. what whether he accomplished it. what kind of impact it had. the journal didn't do plenty of criticizing of president trump's character and twitter feed and all of the rest. but they did not let that get in the way of carrying out their journalistic duties. i think that's where a lot of other mainstream journalists aired and went wrong. i think subsequently have lost the trust of a lot of their viewers, readers, listeners or what have you. they decided that donald trump should be covereded differently. and really not so much covered as resisted. and

the "wall street journal" editorial board with a similar statement. it takes too long to count votes thanks to late mail ballots. nevada is worse than arizona if that's possible. nevada, the ballots don't have to be there by election day. they can be postmarked november 8th and arrive at late as tomorrow. >> so when there was this surge in early ballots and mail-in ballots in 2020 after that, republicans across the kuhn tree in 21 different states passed election integrity laws. the democrats vilified them calling it jim crow 2.0 and said it was voter suppression and racist. in georgia we know it wasn't voter suppression. the black vote went up from 27% to 29%. so much for voter suppression. they were voting efficiency laws. in those states that passed those laws, you haven't seen these problems. it is the states that didn't do them where you are having difficulty. so i think the democrats ing republicans not an apology not just for calling them racist and segregationist. this resistance to the voter efficiency is the reason why we don't have answers.

it was done right before the wall street journal poll came out. fundamentals are there, and the clintons and even president biden to sort of peddle rage and anger, they don't like to talk about the problems but offer solutions. >> john: white suburban women when asked if they believe the economy is in recession, 54% said yes, increase of 11 points since august. is economy in the wrong direction, 74% said yes, increase of 16 points. yet tonight the president at union station just off capitol hill where you can't find a member of congress to save your life, they are all out there on the campaign trail, and he'll be talking about threats to democracy. i mean, they keep barking up the same tree here whereas the electorate seems to be like tell me about inflation, how i can afford to put food on the table and gas in my car. >> john, what you say is completely true. it benefits the republican party and the excellent candidates recruited this cycle and what they have been able to do, fund these candidates, stump for them, who the best candidates may be i

cyborg of response that was picked up in, it was published in the "wall street journal." so i ended my year december i think december 31 or 30 get it came out in the "wall street journal," basically talking about the story and debunking this study. and thankfully the study ended up being peer-reviewed and they changed it. they change the title of the study. they got rid of the section where they were naming all the channels, and one of the authors of the study said, you see, science works. and i said it's kind of weird in order to read the updated study it's behind a pay wall. so you have to pay ten dollars to read the updated study. meanwhile, the previous free published study is up for anybody to read. so if anybody out there is thinking about i'm a far right radical, maybe for the right price, but generally speaking every day of my life i am not. >> host: were you a trump supporter? >> guest: i was not a trump supporter. let's see, they use that i, the you that he ran i voted for gary johnson and bill wells. actually i campaigned, i was at the final stop for the weld jo

dagen: i will point something out in the wall street journal poll.t wasn't just women turning towards republican, it was white suburban women. that group makes up 20% of the electorate. and it shifted women, suburban women, shifted 26 percentage points away from democrats from august. so from august to late october, now favoring the gop by 15 percentage points and the biggest problem for the democrats starting with joe biden overseeing the country, 71% say the economy is on the wrong track, more than half, 54% say biden's policies have had a negative impact. so negative impact where the people are -- you know, their purchasing power is down $6,000 because of run-away inflation. it's costing $445 more per month for the same basket of goods versus a year ago. so what does joe biden do? he holds up rick scott, the senator for florida, his plan from earlier this year, from february and says they want to cut social security and medicare. it's about sunsetting of spending. but this is the big lie and the traditional democrat scare tactic and falsehood that

the wall street journal editorial board calling trump the republican party's biggest loser. president biden yesterday seemed to enjoy the prospect of a trump to santis primary showdown will be fun watching him take on each other . trump said. the midterm election results were quote somewhat disappointing, but then insisted the results were still very big victory. andrew rhiannon, andrew. thank you, our david muir's exclusive one on one interview with former vice president mike pence, airs monday on world news tonight. up forget cats and dogs, the animals growing more popular as a pet the big moments from country music's big night cma awards. breakthrough heartburn... means your heartburn treatment is broken. try zegerid otc. it contains the leading medicine to treat frequent heartburn, uniquely designed for absorption. get all day, all night relief with zegerid otc. ready to shine from the inside out? say “yes” to nature's bounty advanced gummies and jelly beans. the number one brand for hair, skin and nails. with two times more biotin to bring out more of your inner beauty.

the saudis pushing back against the wall street journal story. stay with the energy story and implications for central and eastern europe and beyond. with us to discuss the wider economic picture is kevin daly, the cohead of ceemea. good morning, thank you for joining us. i know your jurisdiction spreads beyond central and eastern europe, but the component that is ukraine and the russian war, what is the resilience for those countries and jurisdictions to the energy shock? we see the stockpiles in germany, is there a resilience to these energy shocks? >> so far, there have been. we have been surprised another forecasters have been surprised. in the aftermath of russia's invasion of ukraine, we cut our forecast pretty dramatically, but through the course of the year it has remained relatively robust. in response to activity, we have revised higher our forecast for those economies. that said, there is a little over six months on from the conflict, there is a sign the slowdown is underway. we think given global financial conditions, but also the squ

jackie: "wall street journal"'s bombshell reports on develop officials trading stock in companies theirr brody mullins, this has been a concern for some time, now it seem to to be moving forward, happening across the board. and there are many saying, we need to do something. >> yes, you are right. in past people have looked at trading my members of congress, we looked at trading by officials across the government. found that thousands of officials running our government are trading stocks in companies they oversee. and we found also that now members of congress and lawmakers are starting to look into whether we should change that law. jackie: and with changing the law, you know i could tell you from my experience, when you have a conflict in some ways, most cases, when your job conflicts with your investing for example, the blanket rule by private employers is just you know you can't trader hire someone to trade for you blindly had. but to be making direct trades when you have access to p proprietary n information is not legal. >> it could be a problem. we found there are tons of exempt

"the wall street journal" editorial board similarly blunt. trump is the republican party's biggest loser. he has now 23flopped in 2018, 2020, and 2022. the "journal,," too, gave specific examples, including new hampshire, blake masters in arizona, mehmet oz and doug mastriano in pennsylvania. then there was the conservative "washington examiner," which went with this headline, "voters show they want sanity and don't want trump." the paper pointed out that trump's presumptive 2024 rival, florida governor desantis, in his re-election victory speech, claimed, quote, florida was with refuge of sanity when the world went mad. the "examiner" added, florida voters love this message, and whereas then president donald trump barely beat joe biden by three points in the state only two years ago, desantis crushed his opponent by 20 points on election day. other republican governors who brought order instead of chaos also won. ohio, governor mike dewine ran away with a 25-point victory. g governor siununu took new hampshire. the "examiner" concluded the m

i want to get to the new "wall street journal" poll. so 71% of people in this new "wall street journal" poll say the economy is on the wrong track. more than half say biden's policies have a negative impact and maybe that's the reason for this. the gop has seen a shift in its favor among several voter groups, particularly white suburban women. that group that make up 20% of the electorate has shifted 26 percentage points away from the democrats since the journal's august poll now favoring republicans by 15 points. it's the economy, it's inflation. >> yeah, they care about their family. they care about their livelihood and care about what matters most. they're tired of woke politics. they don't want to see their daughter go into a sports locker room and have a dude in there. there are some basic fundamental things. the democrats are in retreat at this point because their policies that they implemented, they have the house, senate, presidency. they aren't willing to continue to embrace those. there are a lot of candidates that are pretendi

in our own, "wall street journal poll -- wall street journal -- in our own, "wall street journal" pollthere seems to be movement toward republicans, they are leading on the generic ballot question. movement toward republicans among independents and hispanic women. are you worried about that and can it change one more time before next tuesday? maya: first of all, thank you for having me and thank you all for joining us for what i hope will be a very interesting and optimistic discussion. truthfully, i do think there is time for this to change again. i think the good news or challenging news when you are on a campaign is that a lot of this stuff that seems set in stone really, really isn't. and i think that we have, there are a number of factors we will see play out in this last week. campaigns will be focusing on turnout, getting people actually out. polls like this -- you see something like that, we have seen a loss of momentum over the summer. democrats were feeling like people saw what was at stake and saw the urgency, and we saw polls that were reflecting that. we think that as some

the wall street journal talks about the $89 million debt to mitch mcconnell but it speaks to the millions upon millions of dollars that were spent toward dr. oz's campaign in pennsylvania and then jd vance in ohio and i think that there's going to be analysis of jd vance, he did win the senate seat but how much money it took to get him elected and how -- what a really so-so candidate he was and the money that was funneled to him and oz who lost and how that money could have been better spent if other races, whether it was bulldock or adam laxalt, that race in nevada not called yet or even blake masters in arizona, that were did they put up s somebody like a jd vance that required such a suck hole of money out of the republicans. maria: a lot of races costing a lot of money. mark, go through some of the money angles in this midterm. >> look, if there's going to be money spent, it's going to be $200 million in this runoff. look, a senate race now in a contested senate race in georgia and pennsylvania, you're going to run, 100, $150 million. i used to joke we spent more on marketing a hambur

you have midterms midweek, which also coincides with that wall street journal report on the timing of one meta will begin that -- of when metra will begin that -- the apple story goes into the u.s. futures contracts. asia is seeing an up arow story, including most of the benchmarks as we speak -- i have to qualify every sentence of this. in hong kong, 2% up, as far as hscei is concerned. a rally in most of the commodity markets. copper in shanghai up about 3%. it is really in what was and was not said in the middle ground investors are trying to nail. it's a moving target. yvonne: it is really tough to gauge what it all means. the official is unswervingly committed to covid zero, but underneath the hood you have to parse through what we have seen. the beijing marathon went on over the weekend, but then we have the autoshow postponed. they are talking about long covid and the effects maybe not as bad as feared that you are seeing in some local media reports. there is a lot of confusion in the markets but you see that disparity across shanghai and hong kong. 2% gains, we continue to see

i covered corporate accounting scandals with the "wall street journal."f enron. when i'm looking at their balance sheet, brock, it is really shady stuff. >> well i couldn't agree more with what the congressman said. this is an opportunity if we get the right regulation if we get the right policy. it all comes down to that. if done correctly a lot of people are questioned about exchanges based offshore. if america gets this right we can bring a lot of innovation back home. these are exchanges are places where they are meant to exchange. people got lazy they were using them like banks. they were not regulated in that way. we have to see the balance sheets. we have to know they were not tapping into customer funds f legislators get this right. elizabeth: there could be really disturbing. caveat emptor. watch out for this stuff. thank you for joining us. hundred hunt goes public for first time in a while in a long time, but his live interview suddenly derails. we'll explain that. congressman comer coming up with the update on gop protection into hunter biden

desantis can win the wall street journal.mp's base voters? >> what do you think about that, tara? >> well, at the lincoln project, we've been prognosticating this internet of things warfare for over a year. we put out two ads, one called sad -- when we pointed out the fact that this was the way that the gentry republicans were looking for an alternative to trump because he has been a proverbial loser for them. donald trump should go off and be the start of the next biggest loser, the politics edition. after this disaster for republicans on tuesday, it's clear that when politicians are single seekers of reelection. that is their goal. when you only thing that makes them changes when they lose at the ballot box. to sara's point, we've been waiting for this for several iterations over the last few years. several transgressions by donald trump. nothing moves the republican party, if anything, more than toward donald trump. is that going to -- is this it, finally? i'm not so sure. i don't think rhonda santas is the heir apparent t

. >> the wall street journal reporting binance is walking away from the ftx deal and binance's issues to help, they're saying a company's statement, we don't have the statement yet, again, this is according to dow jones, binance cites due diligence reports on mishandling of ftx customer funds for dropping that deal again, this was a letter of intent nonbinding they didn't have the obligation to go through with this deal it was up in the air we had reports they may not go through with it, but looks like officially the company saying via "the wall street journal" a statement that they are not going through with the ftx bailout. >> wow kate rooney, thank you bitcoin falling now almost 10%, looks like broader market getting hit down 600 points on the dow. beyond our control or ability to help does not sound good >> it doesn't. it's the unknown what's below the surface with the iceberg's danger lies. that's been the concern for a while. look at the stocks leading to the downside, and it gives you some vague idea of what is owned by those who might also be very exposed to crypto. so things

you saw that tremendous swing in the "wall street journal" poll. it's basically that those voters are saying that the economy is their primary concern less so abortion. also in that poll, you can see there's a high rate of interest that likely voter turnout among white americans that exceeds the level of interest among black and latinos. that may be as more compelling and as determinative as the numbers coming from the white suburban women. >> martha: why the passivity this time around, juan? >> i don't know that they're not interested. it's still in the high 60s. what you're seeing is there's a very high level of interest in this election coming from white voters. i think it's who gets fired up. mid-terms are always about turnout. that what it comes down to. i think right now if you're talking to democrats, they're worried about turnout. they see the way that republican messaging has focused on crime and you saw it in that voter survey that you just did in ohio, martha, that they have got people halloween scared over crime. we can talk about justi

when it comes to congress getting involved, here it is the editorial board of the wall street journal who says that biden's right to ask congress to intervene and stop a damaging strike in the wall street journal editorial board never often has been to criticize the biden administration, when i think there. wrong saying that it's right here. congress has a role to play after rail workers and four of the 12 unions rejected the deal that was approved back in september by their leaders. it workers freight unions voted to adopt the deal that was proposed by the presidential emergency board over the summer. congress has often settled rail disputes after deviation fails. wall street journal saying congress -- saying the biden was right there. robert is in the constitution, state independents. >> good morning. are you talking to, me robert? i just wanted to mention, if you want to pay an ex postal employee, a 49. years for the three years, 39 years,. not pay social security. i don't make a ton of people are paying into the not getting a check. are you, what are you get a. track well here is

and today the russian newspaper kommersant and the american wall street journal wrote, with referencesssian and american leadership, respectively, that literally in the next 2-3 weeks, that is, at the end of november at the beginning of december, the next meeting of the bilateral russian american commission of the advisory commission on the treaty start-3, which i recall in february 26, and since russia no longer considers switzerland as a neutral country due to the fact that it joined the anti-russian ones. sam is this the meeting could take place in the middle east and here the wall street journal names cairo as a likely probable meeting place. but, of course, these meetings did not take place. for a long time, while the parties have accumulated claims and questions to each other, the united states, for example, wants to discuss with russia the issue of resuming inspections at russian nuclear facilities. russia accuses the united states of not quite fulfilling e. dsnv-3, and there, in particular, russia has questions about the reverse conversion of american bombers and launchers, and

new "wall street journal" poll show republicans gaining with women. the gop is two points ahead of the left on the congressional ballot. >> todd: "new york times" thinks democrats are failing and have run out of time, the country struggles with high gas prices, inflation and economic uncertainty, democrats acknowledge their kitchen sink approach may be lacking and democrats believe time has run out for any significant shift in strategy that could change the dynamics of the race. >> carley: brooke singman joins us live, tight senate race across the country. brooke. >> brooke: new polling data from crucial races is showing razor thin margin with a week until election day. take a look in pennsylvania, where a new poll shows democrat john fetterman leading dr. mehmet oz by a single percentage point. fetterman publishing op ed that reads, whether rising crime or rising costs, we need leaders who understand the problems we're going through in pennsylvania and who have the experience and ideas to do something about it. dr. oz pointing out fetterman true posi

look at this, op-ed wall street journal and 2022 midterm elections endangers democrats, not democracygerry baker wrote it and gerry joining me now. do you expect a clean sweep? >> yeah, db of interaural. i expect the house is long gone for democrats and the majority was small and republicans will surely take significant number of seat there is and have a good majority in the house and senate seems to be up for grabs and at the hope, stuart, the polls in the last couple weeks do seem to move significantly and what's striking for me, stuart, a couple of months ago, senate seats we were looking at were kind of mix of democrat-held seats and republican-held seats and pennsylvania democrat-held seats. and wisconsin is a republican held seat and wisconsin a rep held seat and georgia and arizona. other than pennsylvania, the whole battlefield is in democrat held seats in the senate so i would expect them to take a republican stake of the majority and possible to win some of the big governor races too. we're looking at a fairly significant red wave today. stu: the election endangers democrats
