walter killed the peace. said it reflected badly on the networks. that word got around really fast, and one of walters writers leaked it to the "new york times" and so suddenly it was another conflict between mudd and concrete. we sat down and talked about it. >> we have another hour to go in our next weeks q&a and will cover a lot of things including the question asked of ted kennedy, why he wanted to run for president. in addition to that some of the comments were made by cbs after richard nixon resigned on auguse you got some news in this book that no one is ever seen before, and that's the story of lillian brown. being with richard nixon right before he resigned. what's that story? >> lillian was the premier makeup artist in washington, and she had started with the face the nation contract and she had done john kennedy when he was beginning to run for the presidency. she was also eric several rides regular makeup artist, she got a call from the white house, we want you over here for the nixon speech. she went over, left eric and went over to the

and walter, such is the beginning of the first biography of walter isaacson. >> never, never -- i've already consulted my lawyer. but you know cathy well and she's your biggest fan. >> walter, this book at this time is so important to where we are both in the current science and the future science of where we're going. what would you say is the basic takeaway that readers should get from this book? >> basic science, curiosity-driven science. sometimes politicians as you know well, lawrence, will say why do we have in the budget some study of bacteria and some repeated sequences that bacteria have in their genetic code? and then somebody discovers, well, those repeated sequences are the way -- they're called crisprs. are the way those bacteria fight viruses and they can adapt every time a new virus hits. and so suddenly basic science leads to a discovery which leads to an invention which becomes a useful thing in our lives. and that's the story of the mrna vaccines and the story of crispr and it's really the story of all of science, is that if you're just curious about nature that wil

walter deeply h.r. one, the bill passed in the house voting rights bill, will affect local politics? you also have a number of states passing tougher voting laws.st george is one of them just passed a couple of bills yesterday, and the efforts by the biden administration, executive orders coming down from the president on voting. what is your view of all this? >> guest: we know the federal government involvement in voting is not a significant as the states. the state set so many of the rules for everything from the times that the polls are open to who can voteby by mail and you can't and the requirement for voter id. those are the thing set by the state. we have a federal system and that's not goinge anywhere. the bill the past the house is unlikely to make its way through the s senate. filibuster gauntlet. i think thes laws that are goig to be no significant in 2022 and beyond are the ones that are passing right now as you said in places like georgia. the real question in my mind though is that these a

. >> amy walter is our guest. cook political report national editor, your calls and commence are welcome. democrats, it's 202-8000. and all others 202-8002. you mentioned the toll on bipartisanship that all this volatility has had. let me ask you, you write largely on the federal level. is that same sort of volatility happening down ballot in the states? >> i think that's exactly what we're starting to see is the states are acting much like the federal where more and more of these members are being elected, again, really on the basis of their party affiliation more than just, you know, on their individual merits. and so as we see fewer and fewer voters is there it -- tickets at the federal level, very few people vote for a presidential candidate of one party and a down ballot candidate of another party. it's changing the makeup of delegations at the state level. and the expectations at the state level. remember, states were in the place that they were called the laboratories of democracy where you can do things at

please welcome, walter isaacson. walter, good to see you again. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me back. i appreciate it, stephen. >> stephen: it's always a good conversation with you because you write about some of the most fascinating people in human history, but now you're writing about someone who is still actively exploring, actively discovering. her name is jennifer dowdna, and what she's famous for, she's one of the discover rears of the use of krisper, the code breaker. what is crisper. >> a bacteria that's been used to fight viruses for a billion years. they take a mug shot of any virus that attacked of a snippet of its genetic code and wrap it in a clustered repeated sequence known as a crisper. when they see the virus again they use the enzyme to shop it up. what jennifer did and they won the nobel prize for it is to say, wow, if bacteria can do that, we can repurpose it so that we can target human genes and cut genes in our own body. so it became a tool to edit genes. >> stephen: well, the extraordinary thing about this, as

walter isackson sets his sights in "the code breaker." you talk about the three great scientific revolutions that have taken place, really, in the last 100 years. the first one, the quantum revolution where einstein and people like that help us understand what's underneath the atom. the second, the information revolution that helps us organize all information into bits and bytes. the third, the biotech revolution. explain what that means and will it be as far reaching as the first two? >> i think it will definitely be more far reaching than the first two, because it means we can code molecules. we can tell them, hey, spike the protein so we can have immunity in the coronavirus. or we can tell it to cut dna at this spot. and down the road we can say, hey, let's edit in some dna that we want so we can design our children to have certain traits that might make them healthier or safer, or go down a path we may not want to go down to harm our children in a way that hurts the species. it's a beautiful story of adventure. >> at the center of the

walter isaacson has been here discussing the future. this is the immediate and near future, walter, but you've covered so many stories like, this sometimes the government ends up moving things back. clearly president biden is using tonight's speech to not only do an anniversary, which was expected, but they say based on the scientific progress, the medical progress, to move some things up. >> this is great. over and over again in the past couple of months, we keep getting good news. the vaccines work better than we thought. we're going to have more vaccines faster than we thought. we're having a roll-out. you know, these vaccines are a miracle. they're just easy to reprogram if ever we get a variant. and it was so fast over the past nine months that they were able to develop it. so the scientists and operation warp speed, everybody involved in this deserves credit. but i love the way biden is putting his foot on the accelerator. jeff zients is the one coordinating this making sure that companies like merck work with johnson & johnson so

amy walter: well, a couple of things. first, if you're senator cassidy, you have time to wait to see if that force wanes, because he is not up until 2024, as are most of the senators. only onef them who voted to impeach the president is on the ballot in 2022. it is the house members, of course, who are up next year who are going to see just how much power he still wields over the party. the other thing about cpac, it's often been called it is the heart of the conservative movement. but many times, it's actually been sort of out of step with where the party's going. often, the winner of the straw poll, in fact, more often than not, the winner of that so-called straw poll, where people vote on who they want to see as their nominee in the next presidential election, is not the person who ultimately wins . but more important, i think, is what tamara brought up, which is, where is he going to use the muscle that he has now? is he going to use it to retaliate, use the money and the power of his still important post-presidency b
