he i was sick and read and see reporting on the wall street journal pretty is an esteemed, respected,nning reporter at the journal. has also worked at the "new york times" and elsewhere. fluid in russian and veteran of reporting on that country and its politics. he was looking into some military issues. using this directly came perhaps from putin himself? i suppose that enhances his attractiveness as it target. before going after avenue after brittney griner was a basketball player. this is all about getting into the american psyche. it doesn't matter who it is he takes hostage he wanted to have impact. in this case he chose some it may be less because of the expertise about russia and more because he worked at the wall street journal which is known to report more of a conservative audience. i think he wants to get the conservative audience to be onside with him saying the u.s. needs to ease up and support for ukraine on pushback against russia in order to get him home. >> that result is the opposite effect and that americans have rallied around evan. everyone in journalism has rallie

the interview that sam alito gave at the wall street journal, the individual that conducted the interview and publish the piece was actually a lawyer and was arguing a court at the supreme court next year so there are propriety questions about sam alito giving an interview to somebody who will appear before the in a case next term. the fact that sam alito gave the interview and what he said makes the case for a need for an ethics law to be passed by congress. -- elena kagan somewhat agrees with the comments she made in her interview this week. host: let's go to cleveland, ohio, democrat. go ahead. caller: thank you for taking my call. i am actually a member of the student organization that discusses a lot of issues relating to the supreme court ethics and judicial reform in the country. one topic that we often discuss is as people have discussed already, the number of justices on the court has changed historically depending on political needs of the politics of this country. when people today talk about packing the court or getting the court to expand its reach to make it more representat

really need the government to help you because you will see every story about evan says the wall street journal and the u.s. government vehemently deny that he was doing anything but reporting for the wall street journal in russia. i told people i would love it if the government said keep it down a bit because it would mean that we were getting somewhere. it would mean that there was something under way they were worried about jeopardizing. we have always retained the ability to say less rather than more, but on balance, i do not think there is any question that when someone says they have your reporter, the only option is to go as loud as you can for as long as you can. >> with brittney griner in russia, secretary blinken came on television and fully explained the process they were going to use to bring her home before they did any of it. so they were absolutely saying we are going to negotiate and we have already prepared our concessions. and that was before any engagement had happened, anything had been done. this happened right around the time that austin had been detained 10 years. 10 year

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

the wall street journal editorial this morning on the mining aspect of what biden did yesterday. they say it is a gift to vladimir putin. the statement omits the land also is america's only source of high grade uranium ore. the u.s. imports about 95% of uranium used for nuclear power reactors, mostly from caustic stand, canada, russia and australia. russia is the u.s.'s third-biggest uranium source. mr. biden banned russian fossil fuels last spring but u.s. nuclear plant continue to rely on russian uranium for 12% of the fuel supplied. the new national monuments will make it that much harder for the u.s. to replace russian uranium. vladimir putin sends his thanks. june in wisconsin, independent. caller: hi. host: we are listening to you, june. your thoughts of the administration's climate and energy agenda? caller: i think he is trying his best to do what is best for the environment and for us. we have to think beyond politics and think about the whole environment we live in. we have to save the forests, save the energy. it's a good thing he's doing. host: malcolm in louisiana, r

the wall street journal wrote that the american government has been trying to propose that it deliver weapons and ammunition to ukraine for 7 months. cairo is against this. the pressures have not given up since the start of the war between iran and african countries, including egypt, and have chosen a different approach to the west regarding ukraine. two weeks ago, russia hosted african leaders, including egypt , in this meeting, african countries made a peace plan about it, which was welcomed by russia. the recent decision of australia to consider the territories occupied by the zionist regime in 1967 as occupied was welcomed by palestine. ezzat abdul hadi, the palestinian ambassador to australia, said kamra's decision is important because the us and the zionist regime are an ally of all the territories occupied in 1967, including the eastern part. he did not consider the drops as occupied territories and added that australia previously only declared that settlement construction is an obstacle to peace, but now this city , which it considers illegal, the australian government announc

paul: joining the panel this week wall street journal columnist dan heninger, kim straw soul, and seniorellow jason riley. who in your estimation stood out in a good way during the debate? jason: a number of them -- dan: we certainly know who they are but a lot of people palling in single digits. this was an opportunity for them to make a first impression on the public. i think vivek ramaswamy dominated a lot of the discussion and people got to see a little bit about what he is doing there, nikki haley, good job. mike pence made a good showing. the number of people who stood out, it was well handled by the moderators. it was a tough situation with that many on stage but they did a good job. paul: anybody stand out from your point of view? dan: what stood out, the way i would put it, the republican candidates stood out. we went into this thing saying how will anyone compete with trump? 8 people who do that, some of them well-known, governor bergen not as well-known, the democrats were suggesting the use were all himaga republicans, extreme right wing, off the charts republicans. instead w

he has extensive relations with his american wife, and the report of the wall street journal last week's meeting of the us deputy secretary of state with this general was evaluated as inconclusive and disappointing. the number of victims of the landslide in northern china was 21. the landslide occurred after heavy rain and in this the accident of 6 people they went missing. landslides have destroyed residential units and destroyed roads, bridges, electricity sources and other infrastructure. 900 houses were cut off . this incident happened after the storm of justice in china . it also affected south korea. after a long chase, the california police were unable to trap a bear that had attacked many houses . and has committed 21 cases of theft, this bear acted alone it is possible that he was accompanied by three cubs. they usually broke windows and entered people's houses. the bear was finally transferred to a protected area . an aristocratic cruise ship was sunk by a fire. this ship had 17 passengers, it is said that they were saved before it sank. let's go to another noisy news from the

at wall street journal. not great news today.has been the reaction from evan's team and those he is speaking to. paul: it is a tough decision and a reminder he has been there for five months already now it is another three months. based on the current track record, weeks act it to be longer than that. that gives to the trial of painfully false charges but we assume that he will therore be convicted dead. it is part of a too long wait and we are just bracing for more. it is tough for evan who will pass his 32nd birthday in that prison in two weeks time which is a reminder this has gone on too long. christian: the hearing today was close to the public. has anyone had access to evan? do we know how they are treating him? paul: we have lawyers who see him on a fairly regular basis. the american investor trace -- the american ambassador tracy has seen him every few weeks. he reports back are somewhat artening under the circumstances. he seems to be in decent shape and seems to be helping. he is getting some letters in and out. all und

let's bring in andy kessler, he writes the inside view column for "the wall street journal".moring for a digital consumer protection commission? do we need it? >> i don't think so. you know, i actually read this bill. i had insomnia, and it helped put me to sleep. but it's 158 pages of red tape. i mean, the thing is just a power grab to unelected regulators, and we don't need this thing. first, there's a $500 million budget for this thing k and they get to keep any penalties they get from suing big tech companies. paul: yes. >> so instead of promoting competition, transparency and all those things, it's going to freeze today's technology. of it's going to kill innovation, not help it. paul: so and yet when you look at american history whenever you have these big disruptions or new developments in the economy, i'm thinking of the railroads, for example, you end up with the interstate commerce commission or ended up with radio helped give us the federal communications commission. is this just sort of what inevitably happens when you get new disruptive businesses that grow large

american media, such as the wall street journal, compared to the group of seven powerful countries in the world. brics members make up more than 40% of the world's population and almost a third of the world's gdp is from these countries , according to the data of the international monetary fund . member of the seventh group in economics world, and this balance change that the wall street journal is talking about, countries from all over the world want to join brics, from iran and saudi arabia in west asia to ethiopia in africa, argentina in south africa, and indonesia in east asia, access to the new brics development bank is one of the main reasons for the request of countries to join this group. the picture of the financial resources of this bank seems to be more favorable than the traditional steps such as the world bank and the international fund, definitely for many. it is attractive for countries to get rid of the dominance of the dollar in international trade international is similar to another one that has been put in the spotlight and is irreversible . the brics bank will repl

the so-called grain deal, according to the wall street journal, the americans are negotiating with kiev and ankara, the goal is to develop a route without russia's participation, considering the option of export grain along the river. danube first through the territory of ukraine then romania with access to the romanian ports. on the black sea, it is expensive to conduct for a long time and logistical technological is not so simple, but according to an american publication, plans are at least being discussed . the united states wants ukraine to export 4 million tons of grain per month via this route by october. the black sea freight was much cheaper, the passage was much faster and the grain capacity was much greater than that offered by the route that passes by dune. the fact is that today the danube e in many places turned out to be rather shallow, and there was a shallowing , mutual reproaches between romania and ukraine began ; eh, then he grains. moreover, according to the same wall street journal , the united states is ready to consider all potential options, including military so

peter: i pulled this article out of the wall street journal. it was a little op-ed by brenda cronan who works at the wall street journal. the title of it is, "books resist digital domination." a quote was, "reading is a commitment. there are too many easy alternatives today." dr. hayden: yes. it is a commitment that is important that, though you do not have book gilt built into it. i know you are looking like that. so many people in different generations feel that if they start a book, they have to finish it. no, you do not. there are hundreds and thousands of books. that means you put that one down and get another one. so often, we make the commitment to figure out the text or listen to the words if you are doing books on tape. that, we say you have to do it. it is not like broccoli. [laughter] or brussels sprouts. you want people to get into it. yes, it is a commitment, but if it is something that engages you or you are interested in, you will make that commitment. peter: in a sense, your bosses are congress, correct? dr. hayden: yes. peter: a
