barbara walters. tehran, 1977. i said, indeed, we work for the same company and gyptian said he wants to know, is it true she is paid $1,000,000 a month? and i said, well, actually i think it's $1,000,000 a year. and the drivers face fell. barbara walters was already a global icon. and then didn't it kind of propel her her career from that point on? isn't that a wonderful story? because how many journalists have had similar experiences to that? and, you know, one of them who did was walter cronkite. so walter cronkite was, of course, the leading anchor of the day and a figure of unquestioned authority. and someone who viewed barbara walters with a little bit of skepticism about whether she was a real journalist. and they were both trying to cover the groundbreaking things that were happening in the middle east, a groundbreaking trip of anwar sadat of egypt to israel. and it was barbara walters and her ability to cultivate relations with world leaders that a few months earlier in 1977 enabled her to get the first si

barbara walters lobby rep.ey in press secretary explain why she should get the interview, but why diane sawyer should not. and the bureau chief who had been in the middle of this and have very much get involved, said, listen everybody, it is diane stern. she got a call from the white house press secretary said, you are getting the interview and we decided it is going to barbara. so robin understood this was going to cause some internal consternation. so she calls the president and says, the good news is we got the interview. bad news is the white house is giving it to barbara. and he exploded in anger because it was just the latest, the straw that broke the camels back in terms of barbara's rivalry with diane which had made diane very angry and which diane was complaining about. and the president said turn it down. tell them we will not take it. which is, as you know, totally unheard of. you don't turn down an interview with the president because they will not give it to who you want ? that is not the way it wo

walter: good morning. the set up into this earnings season has been somewhat questionable because the earnings have been good, 75% of companies have beat the expectations. it is about the guidance. you are seeing a lot of companies that are beating expectations for the first quarter but maintaining for the year which is under the radar for the back half. there is still uncertainty from companies when you listen to them. we are seeing a nice rebound the last couple of days. there was a selloff but not a big percentage decline but certain corners like technology and others got hit hard. it is nice to see some stabilization as we head into the meat of earnings with big names reporting later this week and next week. katie: feels like a lot of companies have fared well but it feels like misses are there and is that what we should be following? walter: let's take jetblue that you were just talking about. they beat the numbers for the quarter and you would think expectations were low given the stock price perform

i would follow walter anywhere and the thing that i think elevates walter above a lot of other writersis his mixture of curiosity and expense sense of intelligence. walter obviously has written about some of the most remarkable people in civilization, whether it's leonardo or benjamin frank lindh or steve jobs and he he's able to. einstein. i think he i think that walter's ability to traverse the worlds of science and culture to to find the artistry and imagination and genius in his characters is what's made him a really extraordinary author. i read everything he writes. susan orlean. susan orlean is well, i love susan orlean. i think susan orlean is one of the greatest literary journalists alive. and and what i mean by literary journalists is that it's not just that she's a really terrific reporter. she's got a great eye for detail. but what makes susan orlean special is that she is she is funny as hell. she's got a great sense of humor. she loves people. she loves what she writes about. and i had the joy of working with her on the orchid thief, which is a book really about passion an

amna: lou walters was her father. how much of an impact he had on her life. he was a showbiz guy, right? how did he inform how she navigated her path forward? susan: so, he was a great impresario. he originally was booking vaudeville acts. he became the founder of a famous nightclubs, including the latin quarter. but he would earn a fortune and gamble it away. he would have a successful nightclub, open another one, see it go bankrupt, and at one point he even attempted suicide, a great pivot point for barbara walters in her life. amna: what did that uncertainty and the instability do to her? how do you think it impacted her? susan: it gave her the sense that you could never be content. you were never safe. that however famous you were, you could lose it in a flash, just like her father had. amna: and yet she did break barriers. became the first woman to host a morning show on national television. how did she do it? how did she get where no other woman had gone before? susan: you know, it's not like they welcomed her.

walter, welcome to black and white.v.k you very much, it's a pleasure and an honor to be with you from here in el salvador to try to make sense of this very obscure reality. social media, undoubtedly, there are many aspects that can only be clarified by those of us who actually live in el salvador, thank you very much and hello to you all, gracias a ti, mira, thank you, walter, in our countries, for example in chile and other countries, when we see the news of latin america, they emphasize the great victory of bukelli and usually talk about the suppression of gangs. cannot assume this for certain, there are many facts and lies, so we need to specify these two things in el salvador, we have a situation similar to what charles dickens said in the book, two cities. he says that we are in the best of worlds and in the worst of worlds at the same time. later, the best of the worlds turned out to be the digital world, the great digital armies that here are in the service of the current government of president.

you know that we came started our walter reed reporting in 2007. and that was a time the war had dragged on a lot longer than it was supposed to. you people were losing you. this was before the surge. so it was just at a point where when is this going to end? and the military was busy with the war. they really neglected walter reed and taking care of the wounded soldiers there. and so the the base would lose walter reed would lose their paperwork which sounds like a really small thing, but it's not in the system and you're pretty well screwed if lose your paper, you have to start back over, get getting a leg and the wives went to office depot and they bought printing copy machines for the rooms and they started making copies of the records. so they'd always have the records. and they were so mad that the army mistreating their husbands, it mostly, mostly wives and husbands that they're like we'll talk to you this is this is he does not deserve this kind of treatment he lost an eye he's got traumatic brain injury. so we were really helped in the tim

walter whitman joins us now with more. and have talked about this in the context of the reaction to this. let's start with the process. what was it like creating this short film using openai's technology? walter: it is very interesting. it is very similar to many of the processes we already use. we are animators by trade. we still have to go through the regular steps of making a script and then we would edit and animate and add sound and sound effects and things like that. the thing that really changed is most of the images were generated using sora. caroline: so, talk to us about ultimately the heavy lift or lack thereof of people. the handwringing that goes on around generative ai particularly around creating is that it means fewer of you are needed. is that true in what was the working process like? walter: i have read those twitter comments as well. what i would say is that without 15 years of making films and tons of experience, i don't think this would have happened. i think our team is very adept at making films and

it focuses on the life and times of broadcast journalist barbara walters.residency years earlier. at the very end of their nearly hour-long talk, walters asked nixon this. >> in just the few seconds we have left now, almost time for yes and no. are you sorry you didn't burn the tapes? >> interestingly enough, everybody in europe that i talk to said why didn't you burn the tapes? the answer is i probably should have. but mainly i shouldn't have even installed them because johnson's system was there. i had it taken out and i never should have put it in. >> if you had to do it all over again? >> yes, i think so because they were private conversations subject to misinterpretation as we have all seen. >> wow. susan page, talk about the book, that moment and some other captivating revelations about really the trailblazer for us all. >> such a classic barbara walters question. in eight words she managed to put a former president on the spot and admit to an incredible news breaking acknowledgment that he wished he had burned the tapes. that's the kind of question t

karl walter identifies that washington now re crossed into philadel into pennsylvania excuse me. and so he starts to get cold feet and he wants to abort the mission again. the marines are having none of it. his associates are having none of it. no. ask washington. come back over the river and let's continue this fight. we have the advantage. we have the initiative. so washington does make the decision to cross over once more into new jersey and now wants to try and consolidate his forces to see how he might explore the advantage they now have and that result in a second battle known as the second battle of trenton or more commonly known as the battle of us in pink creek, washington recross the delaware at the end of december and he was able to now consolidate 6000 troops outside of trenton to include the continental marines. but the americans were not the only ones preparing for a fight because lord cornwallis was directed by general how to assume overall command of approximately 10,000 troops outside of princeton and attack and finally defeat. the americans now held up in trento

lot of that credit goes to barbara walters. >> yes. for sure. >> susan, you kind of led me to my question, i'm thinking back to when barbara walters, in the early 1960s got a job as researcher at nbc. they called her a "today" girl, can you speak for a generation who knows her name and has seen her face and watches old clips and understand that she's famous and a significant figure just how important she was as a role model, as an example not just for women but for all of us in this business? >> she didn't have a model. no woman had done she proposed to do and she didn't have a mentor. she was there on her own. when she got to be on "today" and participate in interviews with frank mcgee, frank mcgee set a rule, a stated rule that she could not speak until he had asked the first three questions. now, can you imagine that? >> whoa. >> yet she took that in a way she took lemons and made lemonade. she set up interviews outside the interview. so that she could ask all the questions in the interview. >> that's amazing. the new book is entitl

the family of walter playing sued tesla accusing the auto pilot feature of malfunctioning. >> causing the deadly accident in mountain view back in 2018 prison jack moment was at the courthouse today and has the latest. >> no, well, we do not know how much money tesla is settling for after the family of walter sued the car manufacturer. what we do know, though, is that the attorneys representing the family submitted documents in support of the settlement earlier this morning, the court case goes back at least 5 years now as walter hong crashed into the median on highway 101 in mountain view back in 2018. the family sued the year after investigators with the u.s. national transportation safety board say wong was playing video games on his smart phone and using tesla's autopilot feature at the time of the crash. hong died later in the hospital. that investigation also determined tesla's autopilot system operated improperly by not recognizing the lane change on the highway. tesla has long said its futures do not prevent all accidents. while one family has said tesla misled kong into think

of "the cook political report with amy walter," and tamara keith of npr.oth. there has been some news as we have been on the air about u.s. foreign aid. house speaker mike johnson shared with house republican colleagues in a private meeting his plan to put on the floor the foreign aid package after months of delay. he is calling for separate votes on aid to ukraine, aid to israel and aid to taiwan and a fourth vote on the forced sale of tiktok. is this something the white house can get behind? >> the white house said before johnson presented the plan, this is not the fastest way to get something to the president's desk that would help israel and ukraine. because the senate has already passed a bill, it is a bill that includes all of these things together and the way this works is if the house is able, and that is a big if, if the house is able to pass these bills separately it would go to the senate, where they would have to pass the bills separately. it is unclear that the senate can pass those bills separately. the white house argument, as it has been fo

amy walter of the cook political report with amy walter and tamera keith of npr.just heard governor whitmer talk about the michigan family protection act, which supports surrogacy and ivf and lgbtq+ parents. we have seen reproductive rights emerge as a major driver this election season, but this is additional action by democrats on issues beyond abortion. amy, what kind of impact does it have on a swing state like michigan? >> the challenge right now that the biden team has politically is people who turned out for him in 2020, many of whom were inspired not so much by joe biden but voting against donald trump. they just are not as engaged in the election as trump supporters are. if the biden campaign can give these voters, especially younger voters, a reason to show up and believe this election is important, even if they are not excited about him. in michigan, for example, there was not big uncommitted vote that -- was that big uncommitted vote amna talked about with the governor. there is reticence on behalf of many voters to show up and vote affirmatively for bi

walter, how do you explain more these foreign policy? i think he has a very skilful appointment just so that's one of the points which is i think a big asset of sure they knew of today very skillfully but mere inside the other side. he is maneuvering among all these big power interests and he's doing a great shopping in making clear that india is not willing to be to follow the decisions of a new blog, some veiled, well, some nations gather together and think they can make decisions for the rest of the road this time so passed and going and i think he's very right. doing so if you see 20 percent of your of of, of the world this is is your being and the rest is not you're so why should 20 percent the best script? uh well how, how the rest of the road should look. so i think there he has done a good job, but of course he's, it's back by it, by the, by the, by premier to the movie. so this kind of maneuvering and among different interests, where do you find these days? a country big country, which is good relationship to the design and to t
