"Us every week to talk about space. And I want to thank you before we go any farther. I want to thank you for this IMAX DVD that you gave me the dream is alive, Walter Cronkite, no rating a history of the space shuttle. You bet. Cool. I haven't listened to it yet, but I will watch it yet, but I will. And it will help me get my cronkite down. So that's good too. That's good too. Rod is the newest addition to our tech guy team. So we don't have long memories together, but he does do a wonderful podcast for us, so we're going to continue to work together called this week in space. And in fact, you have a holiday special coming up. Yes. We do. We have an Apollo 8 holiday special and we were lucky to get Apollo flight director Jerry Griffin. Oh, wow. For an interview for about a half hour that and then towards the end, we got an air force colonel to come on and talk about norad's Santa tracker. Well, maybe that one can be your first all video. This week in space because we'd like to move that from audio only to video your graduating. You could put on your big boy pants, any pants at all would actually be welcome. And we will turn on the video. Maybe a good time to turn that video on. It's for that special. That's exciting. Leo, all my

The Vietnam War and the Legacy Media
"Some books have an interesting confluence of events around them when they come on to my radio show. When I was reading, I finished that outlined only the strong was the first time I had met on the radio hang khao. And Han kal came in the United States as a refugee from Vietnam. He was a captain in the navy special forces warrior, amazing American. He received the camp Pendleton in an operation that my brother in law then a captain back from his second tour in Vietnam was partially involved in and my brother in law was at the house when I was talking to Han cow and we talked about that operation. The people who fought Vietnam are still here. They're still with us in large numbers, and they're still proud of their service. But the folks who ran away from it and who have devoted their lives to denying what we were about are still here too. And they're deeply embedded in the media senator. I am curious about the media's reaction to only the strong because you're hitting right at the heart of the people who run legacy media. It is the Vietnam generation and the people that they hired. Yeah, I mean, here today, the most of the legacy media is just a press adjunct of the Democratic Party and the progressive movement in America. Is that right not only the strong, the media had essentially declared war in the home front. You had Walter Cronkite, for instance, saying that Ted offensive had been a major disaster when, in effect, our troops in Vietnam had essentially destroyed the vietcong on a gorillas in South Vietnam as a fighting force. He had The New York Times consistently leaking and trying to undermine the war effort leader of the salzburger family at the time who owns The New York Times. Saying he didn't know what America had to offer. The Vietnamese that was any better than the communists.

"The choice is between 77, 75 inch LCD versus well, versus a 65 intro that I'd say get the 65 inch oled. If it's between a 65 and a 65 inch LCD and a 55 inch oled, that's a tougher question. 55 at ten feet. 55 inch screen at ten feet is going to look pretty small. It's not going to be very immersive. That starts to become a judgment call. I would move the seats closer and get an oled, but maybe you can't. And if you can't, then, especially if you can sit pretty close on axis, if you still have a lot of people sitting way off axis, then I might still say oled. That's a tougher question, doctor mom. Mack Wright, good name, good screen name. Being visually impaired, I said one foot from my 55 inch TV monitor. Well, that makes sense. If you're visually impaired, you need to sit really close. I would definitely get an oled in that case. Definitely. Because it's not as bright. If you're sitting a foot away, pardon me. If you're sitting only a foot away, well, if you're visually impaired, maybe brightness, maybe you need the extra brightness. I don't know. That's a good question. But oleds are not dim. That's part of the thing that I want to reiterate over and over. Oleds are not dim. I mean, you know, the LG oleds get up to 700 nits and an LCD is going to get up to a thousand to 2000. So, okay, so there may be half the brightness of an LCD, roughly, but still 700 nits is plenty bright for most situations. Now, exactly what type of visual impairment do you have? Do you need that extra brightness? Because of that particular type of impairment, if so, then maybe you do need an LCD. That's a good question. Graveyard doob asks, which I've always loved that screen name. Which has better viewing angle plasma or oled. I'd say they're about the same. They both had extremely wide viewing angles. So it's about a wash there. Let's see Mac right says and that's green is still too small. I have to zoom the screen to read the text at its largest setting. Well, yeah, I'm sorry to hear that. That meant does make things difficult, Tanya, for sure. Leonico says, do you like the M class visio's? Yes, I do. I prefer the P class, which is the higher end. If you can afford a P series, but you know Walter Cronkite says, what did he say? As if any opportunity. Yeah, exactly. So don't pass up an opportunity to get a P series vizio either. No, but the M series is fine. For saving money.

"A letter to the editor if you're lucky it would get printed and otherwise you could just yell into the wind And now of course everyone can have a platform and say whatever they like and the only limit on how much it spreads is how much people want to read or hear what you have to say So he saw the loss of intermediaries as a mostly good thing for democracy and for opening up channels of communication And I think there are many good things that have happened with the change too This cheap speech era But it also has a dark side and in the book cheap speech hierarchy that there's a second meaning to the term which is that what we have today is a system that privileges low value speech over high value speech And what I mean by that is I think for voters in the elections one of the highest valued speeches investigative journalism by journalists who spent a lot of time a lot of effort very expensive to figure out what's going on Hold politicians accountable for what they're doing That's really hard to produce really expensive to produce and the economic model that supports that has collapsed as advertising dollars have shifted to places like Google and Facebook But creating literally fake news making things up and putting them on a nice looking website that looks like the news That's very cheap to do And there's actually some demand for that now for a bunch of complicated reasons And so we live in a cheap speech system where not everything that voters should have easy access to is available And lots of things that might distract voters or mislead voters That's very easy to get And so with the loss of intermediaries it's harder for voters to make competent decisions It strikes me that if someone who watches only one news channel let's say Fox Comes away with different information in a different viewpoint than someone who watches let's say CNN And as you write in your book there's no Walter Cronkite anymore like a trusted source of information that people can go to Right So it's just totally different Atmosphere and the question is how do you get voters a good information that they need when we're all not just having different opinions about things but a different set of facts about what's going on Tell me up next on the Bloomberg law show I'll continue this conversation with professor Rick Hassan of UCLA law school about his book cheap speech how disinformation poisons our politics and how to cure it coming up we'll talk about some of the possible solutions Remember you can always hit the latest legal news on.

"The NASA minute. With Kevin mason. Many people complain about the news media and saying there's more bias than ever before. And we were better off when we had fewer choices. You know, back in the days when we had three TV channels, ABC, CBS NBC. You had, of course, Walter Cronkite, number one, rated on CBS. The Huntley Brinkley report for a long time on NBC. And since I wasn't an ABC watcher, I think it was Howard K Smith back in the day. They had a lot of news anchors on ABC. They were always the third place team. But the one thing people say about the news media back then has everybody was basically reporting the same news. It was just a matter of which personality you liked more. It was fair. It was unbiased. Things changed when CNN came around because we had news 24 hours a day. Then of course you get Fox News and MSNBC, each with their own spin on the news. And it's not about wanting to be biased. It's about finding an audience. You're basically looking for ratings, so therefore you target a segment of the population, you know, will like what you do. It's never going to change. You just have to want to be unbiased. Can you really do that?

Mike Graham Describes How the Journalism Industry Has Devolved
"Mike, you have this almost unique experience. Because you're not just a media professional from one country. You've done it here in America. You've been massively successful being this. You know, one man why a service for the globe before you came back to the UK and then started you also talk radio program. Let's drill down here a bit on what's happened. Because as a kid growing up in West London, you know, I'd love a news junkie. I was listening to LBC radio as a kid, you know, Adrian love at midnight as an 8 year old and my little transistor I'd buy the you know I'd pick up the Evening Standard coming home from school on the tube on the subway. That media doesn't exist anymore. Back then, you know, if you said the word journalist, it wasn't necessarily pejorative, and it was actually a trade. I mean, you knew stuff, you worked your ass off, the unions were problem, but you had a skill set and you were challenging the establishment. Yes, the BBC was always lefty. I get it. But it was a skill set. It wasn't just, here's a typewriter right stuff. Today, a snotty nose 21 year old is given a Gmail account and a search engine and they're allegedly a journalist. Will you walk us through you as a first hand witness? What has happened to your industry mic? Well, you're absolutely right. I mean, the BBC was always slightly left leading, but it was never so obviously biased, as it is now. You know, when I grew up watching people like Richard baker reading the news, you know, these were people like sort of Walter Cronkite, you know, they were respected and you could believe everything that they said. And that now has kind of changed. Now we have a guy called Hugh Edwards who makes 750,000 pounds a year. Now, I know that his dwarfed by some of the salaries over there. But he took a 250,000 pound pay cut and thought we should be grateful that he'd done it because he was apparently saving us all some money. That's paid for by the taxpayer. That's our money. Right, because if you don't buy a BBC television license, you can actually go to prison. It's the only tax which immediately sends you to jail if you don't

"And you thought we wouldn't find out I get it You're used to the days of Walter Cronkite Peter Jennings and later on Tom Brokaw where the three major networks if it didn't appear on those three major networks at night it didn't happen That's not the case anymore Information's not siloed anymore The Internet again for all its downsides has led to an explosion of availability Where more people can just instantly go to a phone or a computer in fact check what you're saying We don't have to sit there and go to a library and pull microfilm to prove Walter Cronkite was wrong anymore We can do this stuff instantly in the snap of a finger What you're telling us is fake It's false You made it up I'm not only citing data here I'm citing data from outlets the left claims to adore The IPCC the national hurricane center I thought we're supposed to trust globalist international bodies and government data from the national hurricane center because the data says exactly the opposite of what you're telling us about the growing intensity of storms and number The data says the opposite Look at this You know listen we're on a major station in Chicago WLS Illinois You know you got hit bad You got pritzker up there now given an update He's not my cup of tea I'm a Republican I'm a conservative He's obviously the farthest thing from it But on my life when my credibility on this show's credibility I have no inclination whatsoever during a tragedy to attack this guy if he doesn't say some stupid stuff and start making politics when he should be acting like a leader and an executive I don't no inclination or all Whether he's a Democrat or Republican these states and these people need our support And if pritzker has cut something productive to say about helping and collective unity and ways to help out and whatever it may be gives sen go campaigns and ways to volunteer I'm more than happy to spread that message It's the right thing to do But why can't the other side do the same thing Is it too much to ask Really Is it too much to ask for a little bit of decency Put yourself for a moment Everyone pushing this Green New Deal global warming agenda just days after this hurricane I ask you for a second put yourself in the shoes of the people living through this right now Listen I am not daring to compare any experience I had with them I'm just saying I went through something when I was younger I had a house burned down I lived and burned like burned to the ground There was nothing left And when you show up they called me I was working in middle village queens and I was about I don't know 19 or so who knows But when they called me and said you know I never know cell phones back then They called me on the shops and they said Dan there's some guy on the phone saying your house burned down And I was living out montauk And they said your house is on fire And I was in middle village queens so obviously it took me like 45 minutes how I didn't get a speeding ticket I don't know I drove out there and the minute I pulled up and I saw the house and it was left of it I don't even know how to describe it It's the emptiest feeling you've ever experienced in your life You like you don't even realize yet like what happened to you You don't it's hard to fathom You still remember thinking like the weirdest things went through my head I like the Greek tragedies So I had all the whole series of the books You know I used to love the stories of Achilles and agamemnon and I had the whole series And it wasn't just like what are you talking about I swear that was the first thing that went through my mind Like gosh that old burn Not that I didn't have my birth certificate my social security card any pictures And then I remember thinking you know I had a punching bag I just bought it was a water bag I like the box when I was younger I had just gotten it for Christmas And after I thought of the Greek tragedy I was like gosh That punching bag was brand new Weirdest things Obviously everyone was alive thankfully But now put yourself in that situation times a thousand It's not just your house it's gone You're dopey said a Greek tragedies in your boxing bag But your house is gone Your neighbor's house is gone Matter of fact large swathes of your town are gone The town the Main Street in the town where all the businesses that you can eat and get a drink and go and hang out that's gone too And then you find out that maybe two or three of your neighbors are dead Take what I want through times it by 100,000 And then imagine that kind of pain and agony And then having to listen to the president and the fema director start to make the pitch for climate change global warming nonsense Imagine I mean I'm just trying to again I experienced a small sliver small sliver of what these people experience and I can't even imagine someone coming up to me being like hey man you know if we really advocated for higher marginal tax rates it would have been some government funds available and maybe you could have weatherized your home and that heater wouldn't attempt I would have been like bro get out of here before I kick your ass And now can you really just imagine if the pain these people are going through and they've got to listen to these alleged political leaders Talk about global warming Their entire towns are do you understand like in this supply chain crisis How long it's going to take for these towns to rebuild I'm trying to build the house out We can't get anything If we imagine trying to build an entire town I haven't Florida too We have ports nearby This is what they're going through And they're listening to lectures about global warming From the fema director to the fema director I've got an idea How about you just focus on the emergency take the cotton out of your ears stick it in your mouth for a little while and just listen And just listen to what people have to say and figure out a way to help Just an idea.

"That business space has spilled into the conservative ideology political sphere as well where if Walter Cronkite said it on the nightly news it was true and a lot of people believed it That's why there was a lot of split ticket voting even Republicans believed it Now we have developed the ability through these patriots and doers and liberty lovers out there to take the tools given us that have been weaponized by the left and turn them around and use them as weapons for truth That's why I say I'm a realist not an optimist I don't think this is going to continue Biden's at a 38% approval rating Why Because he doesn't have cronkite and broke on Jennings to cover for him anymore You're out there on social media democratizing marketing democratizing the political process to an extent never technologically feasible before and spreading around the truth and those one thing that Democrats can not stand And that is the truth Hence their warfare via fact checkers You know we're going after Republican misinformation It's all nonsense They want to shut you down but they can't They hold they did whack a mole You knock down one true teller 7 more appear on different platforms They are never going to stop it It's why I am a realist that I think the future is bright I do I know we're reaching that that nature right now We're hitting the get it It's like things are bad There's an open border and inflation crisis but they would have hid this decades ago They can't hide it anymore And although I believe 20 30% of the population will never be convinced because their radical leftist and they want to be lied to like I said before the rest of us don't And I think change is coming I really do All right I got more coming up on this and another story about secret flights Yep more secret flights around the country containing what secret flights away Coming up after the break Don't miss it.

"In the West from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University. Now the staggering death toll from Covid 19. As we mark more than four million dad around the world, the actual number will likely never be known and as the U. S and other wealthy nations with relatively high vaccination rates began emerging from the pandemic. The disease and its variants are accelerating in some parts of the world, killing more quickly than ever. Nick Schifrin begins our coverage. As South Africa walks through the valley of the shadow of death. There is plenty of fear and little comfort. The deaths are now not numbers on a new station. Is that people? Do you know it's family? It's relatives. It's friends. It's colleagues. Dr Kgosi let lap is a physician and activists in Johannesburg, he says. While the U. S is normalizing the world in Africa are struggling because of vaccine shortages. If it stays like that. Not only are we not safe, the On a day like today, it's difficult to comprehend four million equal to the victims of every war everywhere for the last 40 years equal to the entire population of Los Angeles, equal to the entire nation of Georgia. Back in Johannesburg. These covid patients are the lucky ones. They have beds and makeshift clinics set up by volunteer medics. South Africa's public hospitals are overflowing healthcare workers are overwhelmed. Third Covid wave is driven by an expanding delta variant and shrinking vaccine supply. That is our single biggest challenge right now. But a lot of the Western governments have stockpiles of vaccine. Let's release those to where they are needed right now and increase production of vaccines. Global South Africa's story is a global one, as Delta spread through countries with few vaccines, hospitalizations and deaths are at new highs. It took nine months for one million to die, but the death toll rose from three million to four million in just 2.5 months in the U. S. The delta variant is quickly spreading in some areas it accounts for 80% of cases, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said today. This rapid rise is troubling. We know that the delta variant has increased transmissibility, and it is currently surging in pockets of the country with low vaccination rates. But at least much of the U. S is vaccinated. Much of the world's governments can't vaccinate their own people. And at this point vaccines are the only way out, as White House Covid Co. Ordinary, Jeffrey Zients admitted today. It's another life protected another community that is safer in another step toward putting this pandemic behind us. That is sadly taken more than 600,000 lives. You're at home. A total of four million lives around the world. Four million people. And in the 2.5 minutes since this story began, another 15 people died of Covid for the PBS news hour. I'm Nick Schifrin. Let's fill in more of the global picture and the struggle to vaccinate as the delta variant spreads. Dr Jennifer Naz Oh is an epidemiologist who watches this closely at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Global Health Security. Doctor Naza. Welcome back. The news hour, And as we say, someone who has watched this closely from the beginning. What's the significance to you of this for million milestone? I mean, it's just an absolutely staggering, very grim milestone to reach and it's terrible just to think that we've lost four million human beings but also knowing that that's probably an undercount because being able to diagnose infection and count deaths is frankly a luxury that a lot of places in the world don't have the have the ability to do Um And you know, I reflect on Cove in in 2021. I think about the fact that we now have in production and availability, vaccines tools that can prevent these deaths. The fact that we have added more deaths since the invention of vaccines for Covid, um than we had before hand, it's just it's just another tragedy. I mean, these deaths can be prevented if we were able to get vaccines to where they need to go. And as we saw in that report from Nick Nick Schifrin, the the picture in the rest of the world is just utterly grim. The W H O was saying today the continent of Africa this past week, its worst ever. Yeah, I mean, I think in the beginning part of this pandemic, there was this false narrative that this was a virus that was only affecting rich countries and that there were certain countries and parts of the world that were largely spared. We are now seeing that that was an absolutely false assumption, and unfortunately, I think it Maybe took off some of the pressure to make sure that we not only developed vaccines, but that we developed plans. Um, real operational plans to make sure we share the vaccines that we do produce, and we are seeing this virus ravage all parts of the globe and really any country that as of now hasn't been able to vaccinate large portions of its population and haven't had a large surge of cases remains para Leslie at risk. We are seeing the virus surging in parts of the world where they had been previously successful in containing the spread of the virus. But these new variants outpaced those efforts. It's very hard to keep up with the traditional public health methods the countries have been using, and really the only pathway to the prevention of this incredible loss of life and to return to normal for the globe. Is to ensure that all countries have access to vaccines so that they can protect their population. Well, how do you get that done? We heard the doctors say in that report the rest of the world. There's a stockpile of vaccines. What needs to happen in the U. S. Is now shipping what half a billion Plus doses. Other wealthy countries are shipping some vaccines to poorer countries. Yes, so a number of countries have pledged vaccines, which is really important. I mean, the G seven has come up with about a two billion um, vaccine pledge. You know, that is important and I don't want to undersell one incredible achievement. That is that said. We? The estimates are that we need about 5.5 billion vaccines. So first of all, we need to figure out a way to make more and to make more quickly, and the other thing that we need to do is make sure that these pledges turn into actual vaccines shipped shipped to where they need to be going, and unfortunately Some of those efforts are really falling behind schedule. We have a very narrow window of time to act. You know, if I see a proposal for sharing vaccines, or maybe more vaccines that stretches beyond a year, I have to actually question how much of an impact is going to have because we need vaccines right now to save the most amount of lives. In fact, this virus is moving across the planet really quickly, so it's essential that we get vaccines in arms as quickly as possible and really in the next few months. It's going to be absolutely critical. So you're talking about policy decisions. Policy changes at the highest levels here in the United States and in other countries. And then we have the announcement today from fighter that it may be with within just a few weeks of seeking US authorization for a booster. A third shot, which presumably would be in big demand here in the United States. Yes. So I think we have to have some tough conversations about how we're going to use the vaccines that exist on the planet. To date about. 75% of the world's vaccines have been used by only a handful of countries and they are all high income countries. I think when we're talking about using vaccines and low priority populations when we're thinking about, you know, possibly giving A third booster. I think we have to really have a hard look at whether that's an ethical thing to do or if that's something that we can do later after some of the world has had an opportunity to protect its most vulnerable to at least protect their health care workers who put their lives on the line every day. If we let countries put their healthcare workers at risk, and they lose those healthcare workers, those countries are not going to be ready for future events. The fact that all of us have had to sit home at various points in this pandemic has been because we are acutely concerned about the ability of health systems to be able to respond to A surge of cases. So you can imagine that if we allow healthcare workers to get infected and not be able to care for patients that countries are just going to be absolutely crippled by that, So you know, I think we have to have a hard look at how we're using the vaccines that are in existence now and you know, in my view, talk about a booster except for some very limited populations that we don't think have mounted an immune response from the vaccine doses that they've received to date. I think it's really premature to be talking about that, when the vast majority of the world has not even had access to one shot some very, very tough tradeoffs that certainly deserve addressing.

"The big lie is the real truth. And, of course, that is what the radical left and Joe Biden at CNN and The New York Times. That is what they are all about. And the Baltimore Sun, which began gaslighting Dan Cox today. Well, that's fascinating since we had him on the program, and you all had an opportunity to hear this man, and then you're going to see what the role to more sun smear job wrote about this fine man. Act. We'll get into that. But let's get into the gaslighting now to give you an example of one of the first major gaslight attacks upon the American people. Remember Walter Cronkite, a Walter Cronkite. When we had three news channels and those news channels controlled communications and information in America, it's bad today, but it was bad then they were all liberal. Obviously, uh, not quite as bad. But pretty bad. Pretty corrupt compared to what is here today. Walter Cronkite was characterized, I believe, and I could be wrong as America's most trusted man. I never trusted him. I don't know any reason to trust him. He made a speech to the UN, where he believed in world government. He didn't believe in American sovereignty. He didn't believe in American independence. He didn't believe in European independence. Walter Cronkite made a speech that you win, where he believed in world government. World Control government. That was Walter Cronkite. You trust him? I don't trust him. But anyway, here's one of the great gas light. Lies. There was a thing in the Vietnam War. There was an action in the Vietnam War in 1968 called the Tet Offensive. And during the Tet offensive, the Vietcong our enemies in the South. Attacked every village. Saigon. Every way. Every city. Every town of any significance. Every battle fort. Uh, the, uh Diplomatic course. The embassy embassy in Saigon Uh, it was quite an effort quite an effort by the Vietcong to demonstrate their power because in 68, they had been losing a lot of ground. Well, what happened? They were defeated in every battle. They did not win one of the battle, one of the battles the American troops and the South Vietnamese allies. Defeated them in every village. Defeated at the embassy. They our guys killed almost every one of the Attackers. They were defeated in Saigon. Yes, they showed a lot of power. But they were defeated by our guys now. The next day, Walter Cronkite went on television on his news. And he said. That the war was over. In Vietnam that America could not win the war. And that the Viet Cong had demonstrated through their victories in the Tet offensive. There were no victories. That was gaslighting. That was a classic example of misleading. The American people. I'm Pat McDonald will be right back. There we go. Your stakes are just about ready, Mike. They smell great. Dave. I've been meaning to ask. What's up with those 17 94 plaques.

"Washington and in the West from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University. Where did covert 19 come from? At the moment, it raises more questions than clear answers. President Biden wants US intelligence to determine if the virus jump from animals to humans or somehow escaped from a lab in China than a vase. Looks at what we know now. That's right. Judy. The Trump administration emphasized it thought the Corona virus leak from the Wuhan Institute of Neurology in southern China, but the U. S intelligence community has been split over. This makes your friend's been reporting on this all day. He joins me now, Nick, It's good to see you. Let's just start with President Biden's call for this review. Why is this coming now? Senior administration official says the overall motivation is that the world needs greater clarity on the origins of covert 19 in order to prevent the next pandemic. But this week, the Biden team took a front to China's region. I've seen any calls to further investigation, Senior official tells me Back In March, President Biden requested an assessment of the intelligence of the origins and that he received that. But on Tuesday, China rejected once again a call for a further investigation. And a senior official says that that led the White House to accelerate their declassification of the origins of Cove it leading to yesterday's statement calling for the intelligence community to redouble their efforts and a promise. Release more information the next three months. Well, Nick is Judy mentioned. One of the theories about the virus escaped from a lab. What's the evidence for that? Yes. Since the beginning of the cove in 19 pandemic, the intelligence community has examined the possibility that code 19 leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Urology whose scientists have admitted in the past. They've experimented with bad viruses, including by making them more lethal. And, of course, happens to be in Wuhan, and last fall, US received new information that led to A State Department statement that said that several researchers at the lab became sick with a covert like 19 illness. In the fall of 2019. The lab had a separate military run area and the lab coat altered and then removed online records of its work to former senior officials Tell me that those researchers got so sick. They were hospitalized. But initially the Biden team said that none of that is a smoking gun. In fact, in March, a senior intelligence official told me that that statement was quote, not a complete story. The fact is on that that the intelligence community has failed to create a definitive assessment cove it could have leaked from the lab cove, it could have jumped from animals to humans. All of those theories are low to medium confidence within the intelligence community, and there's not even an agreement about them. The fact is, there is no new intelligence today, according to officials. The senior administration official tells me the White House thinks the intelligence community can do more and is trying to provide more resource is to examine big data to the intelligence community to do so. So, Nick. What does that mean? If they can do more? Does that mean they could come up with the less ambiguous statement? At some point? I think it's a very good question. And the answer is simple. No senior administration official admits that they may not have a definitive answer. The fact is, intelligence officials try to be definitive, but they provide the answers. That they have on the fact is, the intelligence community has looked at this profusely in the last year and a half. They have not had a definitive answer, and they may not have one in the future, either. Like what about political pressure back here in the U. S. How much of a factor is that In all of this? There's certainly pressure from Republicans who have an or threatening to call President Biden Week on China, in fact, is yesterday legislation sponsored by Republican senators Josh Holly and Mike Bron, calling on the administration to declassify their intelligence on the origins of Cove it passed unanimously. Administration officials also acknowledge they feel a different kind of pressure pressure to use the power of the presidency to convince Americans that they are taking this seriously, Nick. What about the orange origin of this? Why is it so important for officials to figure that out? Yes, Scientists say that the world needs to know the origin of covert 19 to prevent the next pandemic, And this administration believes that China has more answers. When it comes to the origin, then the United States does, and that is simply unacceptable to them, You know. Just yesterday on the White House's top Asia official said that the era of US China engagement had come to an end. And the future relationship would be one of competition clearly on including over the origins of covert 19 next different reporting on the latest for this looks like there's a long way to go for some answers. Good to see you, Nick. Thanks very much. The shooting in San Jose that took nine lives is the latest in a spike of mass shootings. In fact, the U.

Here's a headline in the Daily Mail. Why are covert cases plummeting? New infections have fallen 45% in the U. S and 30% globally in the past three weeks. And it's way too early to give credit to the Biden administration is dead. Quote. Hospitalizations have fallen a whopping 26% since they peaked most recently in January, 12 Officials say that drop is likely due to a number of people who have the virus, then official count suggests. As many as 90 million people and fewer traveling over the holidays. Officials say that Can't be the vaccine. It's too soon quote. So the question remains were case is falling so fast. Public health officials say the explanation is likely to a combination of a number of things, most notably, Ah, whole bunch of people very likely had coronavirus. With no symptoms were mild system symptoms, and as a result, there are far more people that already have the indigenes. And thought. Quote. Experts believe there is a severe under count and the number of people already contract it. Any presents up. Problem to determine exactly what the level of reality is. What were the combined number of people have the vaccination comes out. Roughly a third of the population may have already had some level of immunity against the virus. Much higher than people thought. Before. Now, remember, a gentleman said that something like that was gonna happen and that the virus would begin to go away. Who said that? Now? The virus that we're talking about having to do you know, A lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat. As the heat comes in. Typically, that will go away it April has spoken to president she getting it more and more under control. So I think that's a problem that's going to go away when you have 15 people. In the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down too close to zero. That's a pretty good job with that. It's going to disappear One day. It's like a miracle. It will disappear on from our shores. We've you know, it could get worse before it gets better could maybe go away. We'll see what happens. You have to become Go away. It will go away.

"In the West from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University. And now a surprise reunion last weekend in Brooklyn and the long and dangerous road to that moment, Here's Nick Schifrin. Last August. Special correspondents Nadia Droste and Bruno Frederico brought us the extraordinary stories of people so desperate to improve their lives, they headed through one of the world's harshest places, the Darien gap that connects South and Central America on the border between Panama and northern Colombia. Along that desperate and dangerous journey. Not yet in Bruno met migrants from Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and South Asia, most fleeing privation, conflict, political persecution or a combination of all three and one group in particular men from Bangladesh fast forward to last weekend, and those stories intersected with a food delivery. In New York City, and that's where we bring in Nadia, who joins us from New York to pick up the story so not hear what happened last weekend, So I was at home and I heard my doorbell ring and I poked my head outside of my window. I live on the second floor of the house, and I saw a delivery man below. And I figured that our downstairs neighbors must have ordered food. So I sent him on his way there. And as he turned to go downstairs, he kind of looked back up at me. Did a double take And and said Nadia. He told me that the last time we had seen each other was actually on a river side in the middle of one of the most isolated jungles in the world. The Darien gap where Bruno and I had been filming the journey of migrants from all of the world as they tried to cross the This jungle from Colombia to Panama, and I asked him about that moment when he recognized me. Then I looked at Nadia's face. For once I have this face in my memory that I saw her in the jungle of Panama. We were together for three days there tonight. It's Nadia, Are you? Not yet? She replied. Yes, not. He asked me back. Who are you? I replied I was with you in the jungle Panama for three or four days. After seeing her. I felt good. That day was extremely amazing to me now. Your first meeting in the jungle came after he'd already traveled an extraordinary distance. Where did he start? So he crossed the land border from Bangladesh, where he's from to India. And took a flight to Ethiopia and then he went to Brazil to Peru was not allowed out of the airport in Peru, got sent back to Brazil and eventually made his way via land up through South America. When I had met re pun was actually on one of the most kind of vulnerable and extreme parts of his journey. And he told me about one of those Herren Wie experiences were armed bandits robbed him. One of them held a machete here that day, It seemed to me I was supposed to say goodbye to the world. The truth is, it's someone held something here, and it was this size. One of them held my hands when the other one said, Chop it, but someone within them and said, Don't chop. Everyone with me started crying. They beg Don't kill him. At that time My feet were wounded, and I suffered a lot in the jungle of Panama. I could not believe that I would be able to reach America. The next three days. We were walking with over 30 migrants through the jungle until we reached a settlement in Panama a few days later, and that's the last time that I saw Ripon until over a year later here in New York City at my doorstep, So Ripon is in New York. Now what's the situation? And what does that say about the larger Question of the state of asylum in the U. S. So repent is working as a delivery man in New York, and he's trying to get by Wile. He awaits his asylum proceedings. He came to the United States and a very challenging moment for a lot of asylum seekers not only because of the pandemic, but over the last few years, the asylum system Has really been gutted. And so what? Ah lot of asylum seekers right now are hopeful is that with the new administration of Joe Biden that there may be a lot of dramatic changes that could allow them to Settle into a life more quickly and easily in the United States. Of course, none of these changes are going to happen overnight, so it may be months or even years for us to start seeing really substantial changes to the asylum system. How do you address? Thank you very much. Thanks, Nick. And now it's time for our Friday analysis with Brooks and K part. That's New York Times columnist David Brooks and Jonathan Capehart, columnist for The Washington Post. Very good. As always, to see both of you on this Friday night, David, I'm going to start with you of President Biden's been in office. What? All of nine days now, maybe 9.5. Florrie of executive orders almost several a day. What do you make of all this? What stands out to you the most about what's happened so far. I'm sort of struck by the fact that Donald Trump didn't do a lot of legislating. And so he did a lot of stuff by executive order. Leaving the Paris climate accord. The keystone pipeline, a lot of stuff on the border and buying this pretty much rolled it back. And so what Trump signed in Biden's signing out on to me, it's strictly this is mostly it's standard Democratic policy. Some of it. I think it's quite good under the racial equity stuff that he's put throughout the government. I was struck, though, that my newspaper my colleagues on the editorial board, which I'm not part of. Run editorial saying they were over relying on the executive orders and they should ease up a little. And I noticed every single member of the Biden administration down to the people who open the door went on Twitter to argue back against the editorial. And I think they were thrilled to be accused of moving too fast. And so they wanted. They loved having that fight. That was my impression. I think you know, a Zay said last week. I don't love executive orders. Nobody does. Because what gets signed Incan get signed out. But so far, it seems they're mostly doing what any democratic president would do right now. Jonathan over relying on executive orders and executive actions. I don't think so. I think you know, President Biden made a lot of promises, but what he was going to do on day 123 and now nine or 10, and he's following through, I agree 100% with with David. What President Biden is doing is basically canceling out the executive actions and orders that were put in place by President Trump. But in a in a perfect world are actually in a functioning world. Congress would be making laws and one of the things one of the things I took issue with. But the New York Times editorial saying that the president should ease up on executive orders. They used the example of Dhaka. What I found interesting is that they didn't go the extra step of saying why President Obama used executive action in the first place. It was because Years of trying to work with Congress work with Republicans and Congress to get comprehensive immigration reform done failed, and so with people in the immigrant community Latino community is saying, Hey, do something, use Executive use Executive Action and President Obama coming back and saying no, I can't do that and then in 2012 doing it and then trying to do it again in 2014. That's what got that particular ball rolling if the House and the Senate were to actually start legislating. Then chief executives whether it's president Trump for President, Biden wouldn't have to rely to use that word UN executive actions to actually do something to help the American people. Well, Speaking of legislating, David, we're hearing today from President Trump and I was just speaking with Brian D's who runs the national chairs the National Economic Council. They are It looks as if they're prepared to move ahead on their big covert relief package. $1.9 trillion through this without getting into the weeds, budget reconciliation, basically meaning they do it what they could do it without Republican. Votes if necessary. Is that Are they giving up too soon? What do you What do you think? It's hard to read. There's certainly a lot of Republicans who like a lot of parts of what's in there. They're probably no Republicans who like the $1.9 trillion price tag..

Why Pioneering Journalist Maria Hinojosa Put Herself in the Story
"Maria I loved the Book A. So, good I told you. I was texting with you I devoured it and I want to jump in in the middle. You tell a story about writing a television script for Walter Cronkite what was the assignment? It's a juicy story. So I love 'cause nobody's asked me about this one yet short story is that I am the first Latina hired NPR. And then very quickly I'm like. This feels weird and I go and work for a Latino public radio in Spanish and San Diego and I experienced. Deep my cheese more there, and so I end up working kind of miraculously back in New York at CBS News in the Radio Department. And, I was doing fill in work the summer, and then I was asked to stay on through the end of December to produce a segment from Walter cronkite they asked me to write his end of the year commentary. And so. I was terribly nervous as a Latina journalism in the mainstream and being the first I was terrified most of the time. I write this piece and I go in I, show it to my boss Norman and Norman Light Me Norman hired me. But he saw this piece he said, Walter Cronkite is not going to read this and I was like no, he's like because it sounds like you wrote it. And I can't remember if he said and you're a little bit of an angry Latina I, don't think we talked in that way but it was almost like as he didn't have to say it he was like because it sounds like you wrote. and. I said well. Let's take it down to the FISHBOWL and have one of the evening news writer writers, read it and see what they think. Something just said. Stand up for yourself. You really hard. You actually worked on this you talk to other journalists. This shit is good. and. You're angry in this piece because every American should be angry at what is happening in the United States of America in the year nineteen, eighty seven. and. So I said, let's onto the fishbowl the people who edit the evening news with Dan Rather. We walk toward the writers who did not know me and he's again this is good. Yeah he'll read it. Yeah change this one word. and My boss had to eat his words eat pro as it were and I was like damn and so the point of the story is that as journalists of color as journalists conscience. When we are the first or one of the few in many newsrooms. We have to battle for ourselves. The way we see the world as journalists is as valid as Walter cronkite sway of seeing the world or Katie couric or Dan Rather we're journalists just like them. There are so many pivot points on your journey from intern to staff producer to on air from Spanish English. Is there one moment that stands out to you as the moment where your career to turn and where you really started to set out on your journey as a journalist? Well, look to decide basically that you're going to walk away from a steady Gig because you want to become a correspondent, you want to try to become on air that was pretty risky move and I feel like I did that in one of those moments where I was like you just have to do this. Like there are no Latinas. There are no Latina voices out there. And you have done radio, you have a voice, you know how to use it Noah. So that was a turning point. I think when CNN recruited me, that was another moment. It was very scary because I had never done television much less live television. But to answer your question, I feel like it really like. Like really came to fruition once I moved into doing now on PBS, which was long form investigative close to sixty minutes in terms of its style and production and deep investigative, and that led me to then doing documentaries and led to the front line which happened at the same time that I created my own company football media and I just WANNA shout out. The book. News for all the people which is was written by Juan Gonzalez and Joe Tories once I read that book I was like, okay. All of this suffering of being a journalist, a Latina you know woman of Color Immigrant. All of this is there is a reason why and it is because you have a responsibility to be part of this long arc. Of Responsible Journalism in the United States. You right I had heard rumblings at NPR some folks that I got too close to stories. I know all about you and your agenda one of my editors a nice middle aged white guy said to me agenda I said, what are you talking about? Maria come on you and you're Latino agenda. How did you respond in that moment? I said so does that mean that you've got a white guys agenda and he was like, no, it's not the same thing and I was like the same thing I'm able to tell you those moments because they were few and far between when I was just like ski is. Key you know like the same in Mexico is style plateau. SAMANCOR will plateau no one mass when I would just like suddenly rip something out and just be like that. But a lot of the times as you know, you're mostly just like dodging dodging you're doing a we've you're doing another we've and then sometimes you're just like a skin nope Wilma's I'm GonNa answer back. I hope that a lot of journalists read this book journalists because. You do have to be incredibly strong willed, and I would hope that they understand that this is not a job it is in fact, a mission that we're lucky enough to love. We need them.

Media, power, and political communication
"Let's talk about the media yeah the media is a powerful Trojan horse seven mereka if it's not a and I mean they have attacked president trump relentlessly yeah and the problem we have is we have fox okay yeah now fox is okay but Rupert Murdoch is ninety years old right and his two sons are liberals okay we have newsmax rage has been growing and that's a good thing yeah we have one America right which is a good thing but these are national programs they don't get into Vince's crab house they don't get in the fells point being close they don't get into those things go and they don't get into helping our people who need help to fight against the beast and as you pointed out the Baltimore sun doesn't report on any of these issues involving her son is one of them yeah right exactly the Baltimore sun is part of the super shadow government yeah they protect them yeah people say that the media has fallen in the tank for the left they fell in the tank for the Obama no the media never found the check for anybody the media are leaders in this offensive they are legally are part of the natural America they were and and they were targeted specifically for that purpose because of the vast influence they have they were targeted for subversion and infiltration by the Soviet Union in the nineteen thirties and we could go on for hours about how that happened and who infiltrated but just for example one person remember Edward R. Murrow of CBS Edward R. Murrow is one of the people primarily responsible for bringing communist it's two Columbia teachers college to begin inserting all of these destructive America narratives into our universities he was responsible for bringing those people over and he worked with a guy named Laurence Duggan whose son was an actual Soviet agent and he was friends with his son and he became a news anchor for CBS that's just one example there are many many trusted a man in America yeah right right he he gave the Vietnam War at eight a story that was a hundred and eighty degrees from what the truth was riled tell your doctor about with Walter Cronkite yeah that young people don't know who has what we member we only had three major networks in this country now I can tell you let me say some about yeah because the networks are required by FCC regulation as part of their contract to provide unbiased news nobody has ever called him that if I were in a position to do so I would pull their FCC licenses tomorrow and tell them that they better straighten out their newsrooms and start reporting what's going on because they should be challenged in the courts right absolutely be challenged because they have been really but they have such power and such influence and Americans have to get a constitutional public there operates through elections has to be given the facts at what's happened instead is they've been given the left narrative for sixty eighty years in World War two The New York Times was engaged in treason it was exposing things mark Levin's book yeah I mean it's just stunning it's stunning when CNN first started Ted Turner used to go on a show and he would bring some five Soviet KGB agents on the show with him had a first among them was Georgy Arbatov who is the head of member for US and Canada old KGB agent they would talk down president Reagan they would just sit there and terror attacks president right that was C. N. N. the communist news

The Biggest Tech Flops of the Past Decade
"Here's the verges article. The eighty four biggest flops fails and dead dreams of the decade. INTECH think the biggest disappointment in tech doc really is Big Tech and the disappointment of you know twitter and facebook not really living living up to the promise the Internet in general not living up to the promise it offered at the beginning of the decade. We could safely say or reasonably say. Oh it's going to bring thus all together it's going to be the ultimate democratizing medium. Everybody will have a voice will be heard from and that turned. Got To be the big problem. Because everybody's being heard from the Internet's being used to Polarize us to some some degree right. Sometimes by outside forces I mean you can it be. Don't facebook just clobbered a bunch of accounts twitter to from you you know outside groups from China and Russia trying to influence our our internal discussions in the United States but also sometimes from inside forces you know out in a way. This is exactly what we thought would happen. That there are many different voices in the United States and some uh many of them are jarring to many of the other people. Right it's You didn't know your neighbors thought these crazy things right and And who's to say who's right or wrong. I mean I don't WanNa make a value judgment. You know the people right who agree with me. Obviously we all say I think if that's if you're going to pick a disappointment maybe this isn't such a disappointment. Maybe the Internet is a disappointment in one regard. Another regard. We're we are learning what our neighbors think it's not it's not a it's not the unified sought. We saw it. It was only because we lived in a bubble we. You know before the free flow of information I I would argue. There's this there's this whole notion Called the filter bubble got an ally pariser even wrote a book called the filter bubble and his premise. was that the Internet fosters kind of these bubbles of thought where you just read stuff that you agree with. I think it's kind of the opposite. I think that's what it was before the Internet before the Internet you made the magazines and newspapers. TV channels and and they kind of fostered a uniformity of sought. And there are some moments is very famous moment when Walter cronkite. The most trusted voice in news in But wins oops probably Late sixties now. I Guess Johnson was still president so it was So it must have been sixty seven or sixty six Walter cronkite finally on the CBS. Evening News said we can't win the war in Vietnam and the nation pivoted people. When Walter said it everybody in fact Lyndon Johnson very famously said well we've lost now off if we if we've lost Walter? We've lost everybody but that those are those are remarkable moments because they're so few so far between are they. At least they were in those days there was a uniformity of thought. And if Walter said something well the nation kind of pretty much went along now now. We're very fractious. Because every voice is heard he's had a bad thing well it's certainly not comfortable in the way that nineteen fifties America America was. It was very comfortable right. We all kind of well thought we thought we thought the same thing we didn't know it was all the stuff on the rocks. It was going on. It's never stopped going on. It's always go there. And now thanks the Internet's not under the rocks anymore. It's out there in the open. I suspect that's a good thing in the long run. There's no mysteries and secrets. And we don't have the illusion that we all agree on everything and you know what I th. I predict. I'm getting optimistic here. A hope you'll forgive. Let me but I keep seeing these stories the biggest flops. The end of the decade is just disappointing with the Internet. I I I held up this magazine and holding up a magazine radio silly. I hold this magazine up from the New York Times last month. That said so. The Internet didn't turn out the way we hoped that was that was the cover and then The whole supplement this week the flops and failures of the twenty tens. Maybe it isn't such a flop. Maybe in time we'll adjust and we'll understand yes. There are many kinds. There's your neighbors think differently than you do. Maybe be Certainly people in your state your county your city and certainly in the country they all have. There's many varying opinions of. Maybe we'll find a way to embrace that. It's just that we used to. We have this illusion that we all kind of agreed on stuff not anymore. They'll we'll have that illusion anymore. Do
