brooke allen theitle of your wall street journal editorial. our op ed was college shoulde more like prison. was that your title was definitely not title and i got a certain amount of flack it but you know the editorial writers editors they want people to they want eyes on page and i think they succeeded really well that and there certainly are aspects of the college that i wish could be like the prison i wish it were more and were more tolerant, wish it were more peaceful. i wish there were no poems and computers in the classroom. there's so many things i'd like to see, similar to what the kind of class have in the prison. brooke allen former bennington college professor who works on that institution's prison education initiative. we appreciate your time on

according to sources speaking to the wall street journal, the commerce department could move as soon as early next month to stop the shipment of chips made by nvidia to customers in china, and to other countries of concern without first obtaining a license. this would sort of be just part of the final rules codifying it and expanding the export control measures that were already announced last october, according to people speaking to the wall street journal. we know the secretary yellen is planning to visit china in july. we are also expecting that executive order that would regulate and cut off certain u.s. investments in china. really, when it comes to the jew political tensions perhaps affecting markets, we could see -- geopolitical tensions perhaps affecting markets, we could see tensions brewing on that front. >> when you think about chinese stocks in particular, it is a question of how much of the bad news has been priced into the valuations at this point. they could actually start to entice investors despite those geopolitical tensions. in terms of the market reaction to the s

i start i interned at usa today in college about six months after graduation i enjoyed the wall street journal i've been praying for that newspaper ever since. >> so jason, i think many viewers and readers of the wall street journal were kind of impressed with the journal janitorial page separating the issues of some people talking about trump's personality from the issues of the trump policies. can you give us a little bit before we get into the substance of the book can you give us insight behind the scenes sort of how that emerged? >> i think what you saw from the editorial page answers were journalists who were doing their job. their job was to cover this president the way they had her 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 the journalists did plenty of criticizing of president trumps character in twitter feeds all rest. but they did not let that wget in the way of carrying out their journalistic duties. i think that's where a lot of other mainstream lists joaired and went wrong and subsequen

we begin with a new and disturbing report from "the wall street journal". the role of big tech on protecting our children online i couldn't believe what i read. the journal reports that instagram has been connecting and promoting a vast network of pedophilia. researchers within "the wall street journal" investigation found the flat form enabled users to search for hash tags and recommended accounts to related to buying and selling child sex material. one shocking example was a hash tag involving preteen sex. sensorineural spite the platform's algorithms promoting this type of content o other users, it's unclear how this slipped under the nose of meta and ceo mark zuckerberg. meta is responding to "the wall street journal" findings saying "between 2020 and 2022, these teams dismantled 27 abusive networks in a january 2023, we disabled more than 490,000 accounts for violating our child safety policies. emily, you and i were on this couch when there was another explosive wall street journal report about effect of instagram and social media on teens. i'll never

he did something unprecedented here, justice alito went to the "wall street journal", where he has gotd this op-ed to try to actually-- this doesn't happen. it's >> it never happens! to potentially tab down criticism, it called attention to all of this and reinforced the idea of, i'm going to brush off public criticism, press criticism, members of congress criticism, and i'm going to the "wall street journal" to counter this. what he did was he brushed aside , as i said, what was written, but also kind of minimized the appearance of impropriety that he seems not to understand. >> and abby, as you discuss this, i want to put on the screen where the public polling is when it comes to confidence in the supreme court. it has dropped pretty dramatically over the past several years. >> there are a lot of reasons for that, including the way the justices are treated by the congress is they are being confirmed. even if you took the situation completely out of that context, there are very few institutions of public trust, where this kind of conduct would be acceptable, or the public would find i

the wall street journal has been reporting that the u.s.idering new curves on ai chip exports to china. we will be watching samsung, given that we have seen downside in the likes of amd and nvidia. where watching asian energy suppliers, their struggling to shake off fears that there are higher demands of crude in light of the better data from the u.s., feeling expectations of more tightening from the fed. coming up, bnp para bout explains why they are more -- bnp paribas explains why they are expecting. market opens in sydney, seoul and tokyo, next. this is bloomberg. ♪ it's an amazing thing when you show generosity of spirit to someone. and you want people to be saved and to have a better life, then you don't stop. we have been able to reach over 100 million people impacted and affected, and at risk of hiv. the rocket fund takes all of the work that we're doing, all over the world, and looks at the most effective ways, to get resources to them, to get services to them. the idea that we have saved five million people's lives, it's overwhelm

guys write this article, you ask for response from alito, he then publishes an op-ed in the wall street journalet journal published an editorial as well, in which it says propublica's focus on recusal is the latest angle in the progressive campaign to cripple the courts new majority. by imposing even tenuous associations as grounds for recusal, litigants can exclude certain justices from hearing a case. with a court of only nine justices, this could determine the outcome. call it court thinning rather than court packing, but the effect would be similar. so they are ascribing a motive to the fact that you wrote this article. something to suggest that you're trying to somehow hobbled the supreme court. you're writing an article, which is what you at propublica do. you researched things, you uncover things, you report things, and you write the article. >> yes. so to be clear, we are covering the supreme court because last year my colleague justin and i we're thinking about how it seems like the judiciary just doesn't get covered like other branches of government. there's a vigorous coverage of con

"wall street journal" reports this.ur says it could not afford to keep battling saudi arabia. the pga tour golfer dylan joins me now. a rare interview for golfers to come on tv and explain their position. thank you for your time for being here today. one quote. we cannot compete with a foreign government with unlimited money, says monihan. this was the time. we waited to be in the strongest possible position to get this deal in place. saudis had $7 hundred billion behind them. i don't know how much the pga tour has behind it. what do you think now, dylan? >> it has been almost six days since the news came out last tuesday when liv and pga tour were merging. i don't think many players have much clarity still. i think it's still fresh and new. there is more news coming out saying it was a monetary decision. i know that being a player, we all were kind of shocked when this came out and honestly didn't believe it the morning of. i think there is still so many questions that need to be answered. this is just the beginning. >

the wall street journal. as i mentioned, he previously he and i were previously colleagues there in china. and he has, of course, gone on to do huge, huge things, including being investigated of team that won the loeb awards for international reporting for a series exposing the chinese government pioneering embrace of digital surveillance. he is also the recipient of the dan balz medal given to investigative journalists who have exhibited courage in standing up against intimidation and i'd love to ask about that a little bit more in a second. liesel lin is a has been covering data use and privacy for the journal from singapore and she was also part of the team that won the globe in 2018. and prior to that, liza's spent nine years at bloomberg news and television too as well. so welcome both of you to this talk. maybe i'll just start first by asking you guys about the how things have changed, because when the time when josh and i were both reporting in china, we're talking back india your 2000 to early station

"wall street journal" this morning. legal actions involving donald trump and when they began. they are the brown line or green line is criminal, and the aqua line is simple. you can see that the stormy daniels payment case began the earliest. here is where president trump's presidency ends. and it goes on, and in this case he was indicted. the new york evaluation of real estate assets began in 2019, and is still ongoing. that is a civil case. e. jean carroll began in late 2019 and was found liable this year. january 6 violence began on his last day of office, and it is ongoing still. the georgia 2020 election interference began after his presidency, and ongoing. that is a criminal case. handling of mar-a-lago documents began in august 2022, and he has been indicted as of this next tuesday will be the official indictment. now, one other case, another criminal case, post-2020 election actions and january 6. this is another case, and it is

so you saw that "wall street journal" article about, you know, u.s.th their acoustic systems. so, what seems to me is that the leadership, the coast guard was operating off of this assumption that that was an implosion. other experts in this industry tell me that that could have easily been the sub just hitting the floor. and then you add that with this tapping, which was apparently like in your standard procedure sos, every half hour, you are hearing that throughout the day tuesday and wednesday, it begs the question, could this have been resolved differently if leadership had just evacuated sooner and actually put options on the table instead of just assuming it doesn't matter because they are dead. >> trace: let me go back and take you to the "wall street journal" article if i can. if, what if they on sunday, an hour and 45 minutes after this subwent down and they lost communication and they lost the ping and they lost the text messaging and then they subsequently hear this loud boom they may have heard what was the implosion, maybe at that point t

you just heard "the wall street journal" reporting what we were all talking about.ious if you think this is intelligence trying to get into putin's head or if this is a possibility that there will be a much larger revolt here that just fell away? >> i think it's a little bit of both. i think "the wall street general" certainly tracks and we know shoigu was in the city of rostov and he fled hours before prigozhin's troops got there, but this was such a hair brained scheme from the start. even if prigozhin had succeeded and even if he had taken defense minister shoigu and chief of general staff garerasimov, and don't think putin would have fallen for that blackmail and i don't think it would have changed anything. >> i'm curious what you think about what will happen to prigozhin and anyone else that the fsb or that, you know, putin's close corners decide were involved in this? >> i think prigozhin is a very precarious situation. yes, he's exiled to belarus, and yes, putin promised him amnesty and the key thing is that the amnesty was for the mutiny and there are other

but that wall street journal report one extremely significant. er who surrendered to a ukrainian drone. of course, it's impossible to tell whether that soldier was speaking under duress when he was speaking to "the wall street journal," but he said he'd been followed around by ukrainian drones in a trench there and at one point feared for his life and surrendered to one of the drones, he gestured to the drones and the ukrainians dropped a note saying he needed to follow the drone in order to surrender, and he did that and survived that. it also shows, wolf, of course the brutality and difficulty in this war as it continues to grind on and certainly both sides very, very tough, wolf. >> i hear those sirens behind you. fred pleitgen, thank you very much. stay safe in zaporizhzhia where you are. appreciate it very much. >>> coming up, deliberations begin in the trial of the gunman behind the worst anti-semitic attack in modern u.s. history. we'll have details from inside the courtroom as both sides made their final pitch to the jury. hey david. conne

what was samuel alito's response in the wall street journal? you can accept gifts and i'm paraphrasing, as long as it otherwise wouldn't go to use. can you imagine using that in a bribery case? my question to you is there's got to be away that we can lock this down. the supreme court is at an all-time low and there's got to be a way we can push back. host: joshua kaplan. guest: yeah, it's worth making the distinction between some of these things that have come out. john roberts'wife for instance, it's healthy that's being examined, scrutiny of public officials, spouses work has a long history in other branches of government and historically it has not happened at the supreme court. we don't get that type of sustained coverage. there is not really evidence of impropriety here. she has her own we are and she makes a lot of money for a normal person but there is not really any evidence of having something improper happening in terms of ethical standards, as i understand it, or disclosure rules. one reason it's hard to distinguish between these thi

in speaking with the wall street journal, alex said he is more political than his father and hinted at a significant financial role for the soros organization in the u.s. elections next year. frank. >>> pippa, thank you back to the markets. inflation and the fed could determine the directs oion tof e markets this week. headline cpi is forecast to rise 4% year over year. down from the rise of 4.9% in april. softer inflation could help the fed justify skipping a rate hike this month, however, it is not unanimous. the cme fed watch tool showing a 74% chance of pause on wednesday, but 26% chance of another quarter point hike a pause doesn't mean the fed is done the markets are pricing in a 53% chance of a hike in july let's talk more about anna cretron. >> good to see you >> i'm looking at the numbers here the dow in a two-wee the nasdaq doing the best with the seven-week win streak. >> markets are expecting a pause, but expecting two times the rate cuts by the fed this year i.e., going back to a dovish market environment which stocks love that is what markets are pricing in we certainly s

and, again, i think the gaap issue is important "the wall street journal" had a big article last weeke monkey business companies are employing to make earnings look more flatering than they really are, there is i think university of iowa something has a measure of fraud or earnings manipulation put it that way sending highest warning signal since 1970s, so i think we have to really be careful, at what earnings anybodies we are looking at, to get a clean picture but one thing is clear we've got slowing consumer activity real retail sales gone nowhere since april of 2022. companies are not selling more units as you see in ism surveys services and manufacturing, pricing power is withering prices recede much faster than paid implies margin pressure i think profit story is going to be crucial to watch already really bad this expectation going to get better, is belied by consumer data and pricing, dynamics we are seeing right now. so i would say that -- then -- sorry. maria: go ahead please finish. >> okay, relate to employment data pale payroll employment outlier every other indicator look

greg ip is with us still i feel like the only one who never worked at "the wall street journal" here.avid, let me begin with you it is unusual, it would seem to me, to have unanimity on the overall decision, but the kind of scatter in terms of the predictions of where the terminal rate may be and how many more interest rate hikes there are likely have you seen a fed like this in your recollection? >> well, first time -- was that your job application for "the wall street journal" >> happy where i am. >> that's pretty unusual i think often it is said that the argument at an fomc meeting is not about what happens at the current meeting where the signal has been sent, but what is going to happen at the next meeting. so, it must have been that enough people were comfortable with the chair, the vice chair designate's call for -- to skip a meeting that everybody agreed to that. but they don't all agree on where we go from here. i could read what greg said is that this does give them some options. if the economy is a lot worse, inflation is down, more banking problems, then they don't commit

and the wall street journal this morning. trump indictment unsealed, and there is a picture of a bathroom at mar-a-lago where a lot of the boxes are stored. this is from the department of justice. campaign trail runs through courts is the side article. and the washington post this morning. indictment paint scheme to keep files. they have chosen to highlight article three, or charge number three. "the classified documents chum stored including information regarding defense and weapons capabilities of both u.s. and foreign countries, united states nuclear programs, potential vulnerabilities of the u.s. and its allies to military attack, and plans for possible retaliation in response to a foreign attack." three side articles in the washington post. number one, the indictment of longtime president trump aide walt nada. below that, an analysis, after a career of flattering standards, now comes trump's greatest peril . finally, electability concerns slowly begin to pierce the gop's united front. that is how it is playing this

first time used in the wall street journal, ok.on't go around beating my chest bidenomics, the press started calling it. i like it, it's fine. >> of course i called gerry baker, and what was your intention of the use of the word, massive overreach and government spending on green initiatives and beyond and taking taxpayer money to push their own agenda to and stifle others, basically picking winners and losers and not allowing the free market to work. that was the term of the bi bidenomics. >> this morning i spoke to a family from arkansas and telling me how important the high speed internet process is going to be to him. it's going to improve his education with his kids that he was missing during covid, it's going to bring new job opportunities for him that a lot of the people in rural america are not seeing. so, one, there's a lot of great things here. we have increased 800,000 manufacturing jobs, we have infrastructure, which you and i have been talking about for a very long time. i represented the obama administration talking i

the wall street journal is reporting that amazon is reportedly in talks with warner bros. overy on added tears -- tiers. that is driving this headline from the wall street journal. driving that stock higher at this moment so i wanted to just focus on that for a moment. give you some real active movement in the market which looks to be about 9% at this particular time. let's get back to financials. i just wanted to highlight that for our viewers. do you agree about some of these financials? >> listen, i own bank of america and morgan stanley and i'm not happy with the performance so far. the only financial but i really added in the last several months has and j.p. morgan and i'm glad i did. i think when you look at the financial sector and you look at the banks you have to stay up high in quality but you also have this competition now from those that look at the financial sector there and say i could own visa, i could on mastercard very happily and that covers the financial sector exposure. when i look at what we have run the best in inancial we own is orange capital group.

caller: the wall street journal, chris christie, there are so many places that people are pointing to. how can people still continue to support him? the wall street journal, rupert murdoch, isn't that fox news? you fox news people have been brainwashed by fox news. maybe you should start reading, instead of listening. it is unbelievable that donald trump still a candidate after all these years of lying on and on, how can he still be in the running? host: dave in lynchburg, virginia. chris christie was on the campaign trail. here is what he had to say. [video clip] >> i chose in 2016 not to challenge donald trump early. so much of what he said was baloney. "i am going to build a wall across the entire mexican border, and mexico is going to pay for it." i knew that that was complete bull, but i thought people are not going to believe that. mistake! guess what, you have no excuse now. he was therefore 4 years, 2 of them with a republican congress, mexico has not given us a single peso. we paid for all of it. when you see immigration pouring over the southern border, do not wonder whose f

for many years and knows the region well let's bring in john vessey associate editor at the wall street journal. it was your paper, the wall street journal that broke the story of a chinese spy base in cuba and in the administration, it's not a big deal it's been there since 2019. have a spy base 90 miles away from the united states does not sound like good news. >> it looks like it's going to be expanded this is the story from warren strobel and gordon. china's interest in the region and having some kind of a facility in cuba has been going on for years and stretches back at least to 2019 when they started upgrading their facilities there. the introductions where they have been too close to our planes, too close to our ships go back many, many years and go back to china with previous administrations as it did this one. this would be a substantial expansion. the united states the central command base in tampa florida, southern command in miami. these are very large military installations outlook out over our concerns in the east central asia and latin america. we give the chinese a substantial

but alito, before a story drops, alito writes a preemptive op ed in the "wall street journal." he "wall street journal." it's the dumbest press strategy i have ever seen in my life. i worked in republican politics. i've seen a lot. >> i suspect he ace his own media adviser, he's indignant and not -- lashing out. when you can't argue the facts, you resort to excuse making and process arguments at the conews coming up fire unfairly. and i just want to pause to credit jesse and his colleagues. there's no shortage, nicolle of watch dog groups that have spent the last decade trying to confirm details of those trips, the fact of which has been largely been a well-known secret in d.c., but nailing down who went on what trips with whom is somebody that's bedeviled watch dog groups for year. none of this is disclosed. so credit to propublica, who did old-fashioned shoe leather reporting, human source investigation, and talked to one of the guides to confirm that detail about the bottle of wine costing $1,000. they found somebody from 15 years ago who remembered that trip and was able to

the wall street journal's reporting and recent revelations of ethical issues impacting justices across the ideological spectrum have made the case for reform even undeniable. the act takes a number of actions to respond to this crisis, each of which promotes the independence of and rebuild public confidence in the judiciary. in particular, the act would reshape the recusal, regime a constitutionally appropriate manner, adding transparency and accountability to an opaque and broken system. when the act really husel provision creates a more robust process for identifying and deciding recusals, to ensure justices independents in their work on behalf of the public, after all, they are government employees. this is my third time testifying before congress about judicial ethics. and i want to proactively address some of the questions that i have heard before and expect to hear today, first, the need for ethics reform at the supreme court is not a partisan issue. i have been an ethics lawyer for more than a decade, but you don't need to be an expert to appreciate what is wrong with judges rul

so wall street journal, the personal journey, hearing, the whole bottom page humble library card can save you cash. and they're telling you all this free, you can get e-books, wall street journal etc.. >> it is impressive. >> so i am going to close out today. >> we have a couple questions were going to ask all of our speakers for this event, wide-ranging and this i am really interested in. tell us what we can do, give us some advice. what can we do to do a better job of building bridges and creating common ground for people? >> do something. don't get so discouraged with oh gosh, going to you know where and a handbasket. all this stuff. look at where you are. do it where you block or community is, what you are involved in. say ok, i am going to do it there but at least start. you would be surprised. when you get something going and you get other people to join you , we have an exhibit at the library of congress join in. voluntary associations. just start, do not be overwhelmed by the masses, it all works together. >> last question i've got, can you share what you see happening in amer

and he said in "the wall street journal," look, my clerks and i, we went through this dispute.ames like paul singer that might have flagged it. so it wasn't our fault. we went through it. but this was an entity related to singer and his name wasn't there. so you have here alito saying that neither the private jet trip or the failure to recuse was problematic for him. >> the petitioner in that case, you would have to look it up to see the relationship to singer being his fund. propublica says that this violates a federal law. that's quite an accusation. what is alito saying about that? >> alito says, look, at the time the gift disclosure did not cover private jets for social trips. and that has been an issue in the clarence thomas case because the administrative office of u.s. courts came out and clarified and said, well, now it does. but that's the big question here. ethics people are really raising that flag. of course, poppy, it is so unheard of to have a justice of the supreme court pen a "wall street journal" article defending himself even before propublica published it. pr

wall street journal today, it is john mccormick who lays out how republican rivals to donald trump have since the indictment, stepping up some their attacks with more direct criticism in that category. the former new jersey governor chris christie, former vice president mike pence, florida governor ron desantis and former arkansas governor asa hutchinson, nikki haley south carolina governor in that category of more subtle critique about the indictment. the barely critical,, they list senator tim scott the governor of north dakota and swami in that category. this is cindy in steel city, republican. caller: i just wanted to make a comment. i am not going to go into all the long things this person has called before me and said. oh, my god i am shocked. we are living in a nightmare with this crime and inflation. the thing i am really shocked about is yesterday, that center shift in the 20 republican -- that is a disgrace. millions and millions, all the time that was wasted on this lie. it is a known lie. this guy gets off scott free. he has hurt the american people. i do not understand thes

the wall street journal now reporting that u.s.efense and intelligence agencies have been going through the equipment after the shootdown of that balloon. they have been analyzing the debris retrieved, and they say what it shows is that the balloon was crammed with commercially available u.s. gear, some of it for sale online, and mixed in with specialized chinese sensors. according to this wall street journal report, intelligence agencies in the u.s. are finding that the balloon and it -- balloon was made up of commercial products and equipment, things you could buy or that was produced in the u.s.. but the u.s. component would underscore the shift in focus for trying to restrict some of those texts exports. the pboc pushes back on the weakness around the yuan. year to date it is down about 5% versus the u.s. dollar. a chief economist and someone who really has his finger on the pulse of all things china says he sees it getting back to 7.3 in the next two months, but it is another sign that the pboc is coming uncomfortable when the

the "wall street journal" editorial page said the pga and liv golf merger is.rown prince wins again. over the weekend riyadh cut its oil production. tuesday liv golf announced a merger with pga. >> bill: both of these organizations were knee deep in litigation. most of it behind the scenes. as best as i can tell throughout the day yesterday, this is what they were trying to avoid. they did not want to open the door into the saudi government or pga tour to what is happening with their organizations behind the scenes. the way you do that is to make sure the door never opens and you come to a deal where all litigation ends, all legal wrangling stops, and you move forward in the most private ways that you have conducted your organizations up to date. >> dana: glob illization is alive and well in the sports world. it is taking a dive other places in terms of popularity. it might be inevitable given the way the world works, technology and it is a business. it doesn't diminish their anger. >> bill: i will say if you are a fan of golf, this is going to help the sport e

the neighborhood that would be affected but a lot of this reporting first came out of "the wall street journalat is at issue here china establishing or eager to establish an espionage base in cuba. now they cite as does "the wall street journal" these intelligence agencies want to monitor ship traffic, electronic communications throughout the united states and this would be the means by which you would do that. china already believed, quoting the miami herald to have a military presence in cuba in a listening station in a town just south of havana where there were reports way back from 2018 of a new radar surveillance station that the chinese might have been among the builders. no way to prove that one way or the other. unclear about the other details or timing of this. what we do know, the herald has fleshed this out with reporting first out of "the wall street journal" that the chinese have been busy dolling out a lot of cash, billions of dollars worth to cuba to help them get back on their feet but obviously to help them facilitate for china this operation. so again the timing of this is ob

the wall street journal, citing some american intelligence and security officials, claimed that talks between china and cuba to build a joint military base in cuba have made great progress , so the news of china's military and intelligence forces in 150 kilometers from the coast of florida state of america will be settled wall street journal the chinese desire to build a military base near the united states is caused by the crisis of the taiwan issue. china has signed an agreement according to which it will deliver 4 million tons of liquefied natural gas to the china national petroleum institute for 27 years. it says that some of the weapons sent to ukraine are only used as spare parts. 30 a percentage of ukraine's income is being overhauled, despite numerous promises, a large part of the weapons sent to kiev has worn out. kid metron stressed the need to create an air defense independent of the united states , the french president said at the end of the conference of defense ministers of 20 european countries in paris before purchasing weapons . he should think about his air defense s

and those denials are torturous, the wall street journal, a new spying base in cuba.pying on the united states, signals intelligence from cuba for years. they were at the soviet union's biggest listening facility in the soviet union and two others that have been reported, and at santiago they cuba. i think john kirby should have told the american people about this, he had to know the chinese were on the island. >> look what john kirby, i apologize, and telling fox news, and despite awareness of the efforts, we were not making to make progress, and slow the prc down, and keeping to work to disrupt it. and people will be able to disrupt beijing's plans. >> haven't worked so far and it is unlikely, and biden is trying to establish cooperative relations with beijing. and whether we are talking spy stations, and in february of this year and the administration, as in beanies -- nbc news has said, looks like it is trying to avoid the whole issue of china's assault on the united states. eric: what the advantage and the goal to downplay this type of danger? >> i don't think th

so i have a tendency to think that the "wall street journal" is probably accurate here. disclosure here in terms of what has really taken place and also rethink the strategy. how many times do we have to look at cuba and recognize that this is a communist country and they've always looked at us as an adversary. paul: all right. let's turn to ukraine. the long-promised offensive seems to be underway. how big of an obstacle is this explosion that the dam and flood parts of the battlefield there. >> well, it's an impediment. i do think it was done by a tactical russian command orer, and i think he saw an assault coming, not a major assault, and he released this. he just washed away a lot of his own minds and actually a lot of his own defenses. i don't think he's long for the position, to be frank about it. and it's hurting the people more than anybody. but in terms of how to recover from that, i put my money on the ukrainians recovering because they're more adaptable. but the the offensive has begun, and so our audience understands, the strategic objective that ukraine is t

the "wall street journal" suggests citing western officials that indeed there was a bid by prigozhin who is blee gerasimov when they were in rostov. that has plausible and we do know that shoigu was in rostov-on-don when prigozhin headed in that direction and prigozhin said that shoigu fled like a coward from rostov late on friday just after prigozhin said was an air strike on a wagner camp that sparked his armed rebellion and move on rostov. the suggestion, too, in the "wall street journal" -- and this is backed up by public statements by the head of russia's national guard -- is that there were leaks coming from the prigozhin camp ahead of this plot, suggesting it would take place between the 22nd and the 25th of june. indeed roughly when it did. possibly beginning a little bit earlier. now that is embarrassing potentially in the -- the russian government may have been aware this was about to happen, yet the fsb, the security services responsible for keeping putin in power, weren't able, it seems, to prevent it from occurring and do appear even it seems to have let shoigu head to r

. ♪ stuart: wall street journal editor jerry baker with us. am saying democrats have no bench strength, a lot of vigor. >> not anything, it would be rude of me to disagree. it was one hundred% correct. this is why democrats are weirdly in a sense rallying behind president biden. they don't have any alternative. when an incumbent president is 40% approval ratings, the party scrambling around, a slew of candidates trying to run against him. don't necessarily convert into the presidency. democrats are a little bit like, biden has his own problems in your take, it is a little like democrats are in that position in the movie weekend at bernie's, kind of like that with president biden because he doesn't -- lauren: your favorite movie. >> at least in the polls beat donald trump, the latest nbc poll showing is unpopular is biden's he is four points ahead of trump. that's what they better do, better find a way to keep him conscious at least for the next 18 months. stuart: let's talk russia. president biden says the us had no involvement in the rebellio

critics are fact checking his op-ed in the "wall street journal."d lawrence is live at the white house with the story. reporter: the actual data works against the president. the president in north carolina. he was at fort liberty. he spoke and met with families there. earlier in the day the president was asked at a community college in rocky mount, north carolina. he said when they graduate they will have good paying jobs to look forward to. but under his administration wages decreases $3%. he said they can expect those jobs because of the $5 trillion he signed into law. but the president admits the inflation reaction act was not about inflation. >> we didn't get much help from the other team. the inflation reduction act was the most significant climate legislation in the whole world. $6.8 billion for energy. reporter: the committee for responsible federal budget says president biden's policies pushed the federal deficit to $2.1 trillion, up 50% from fiscal year 2022 deficit. some see it working against with the federal reserve is doing to bring inf

with me now, paul beckett, washington bureau chief at the "wall street journal," and michael mcfaul,a and msnbc analyst. i appreciate you both being here. paul, as a friend and colleague of evans, i'm sure you're not surprised by today's ruling. but disappointed. your reaction? >> very disappointing for evan, for his family, for the "wall street journal," and for all of the people who have done an extraordinary job in supporting his cause. pretty soon he will have been in prison for a hundred days. that comes in about two weeks. we obviously consider these charges completely unfounded. and every time we have the opportunity to get him released and it doesn't happen. >> it was particularly moving, and we have seen him in court before, but to know that his family was there, do you know anything about that interaction? has the paper been in touch with his family? >> i think it was obviously very meaningful for both of them, certainly for evan's parents. it was the second time they had gone to moscow to show support. couldn't touch him. you're not allowed to put hands through the bars of
