bob is dead. in the next thing you know, the sheriff comes out with chuck, in a t-shirt, and i am like, one in the world is going on? >> she's like, i don't know. >> so, they drove off with chuck. >> coming up, police have some questions for chuck. >> they came in and found your friend. >> it wasn't because it he was rushing around an upset? >> no. he was calm. it was suspicious. >> maybe you got a crime here? >> yes. >> when dateline continues. teline continues i keep my social distance. shingles doesn't care. i stay within my family bubble. shingles doesn't care. because if you've had chicken pox, you're already carrying the virus that causes shingles. in fact, about 1 in 3 people will develop shingles, and the risk only increases as you age. so what can protect you against shingles? shingrix protects. now you can protect yourself from shingles with a vaccine proven to be over 90% effective. shingrix is a vaccine used to prevent shingles in adults 50 years and older. shingrix does not protect ev

and i'll start with bob costa and bob woodward. is he going to run again? >> he continues to use it publicly and says everybody he knows, you're going to like my decision. his confidants working with him now are updating him on pulling all the time in new jersey and telling him he's the most popular republican in the country that he has the political capital. the same to many people behind the scenes he wants to run again and he tells brad parcell, his former campaign manager this past number he wantsthat army back . he had an army, he wants it back and if he runs again our scouts and others privately say he's going to run not for any sort of policy aimed but he's going to run because he believes the election was stolen. he wants vengeance. >> i think he's definitely running. the really interesting question is why? what is the rationale for the candidacy. why this candidate, why are they running, what would they do if they want? and trump has based his old, all this year on this issue of the election was stolen and he pivots around that. i think it's so imp

bob do you have thousand that. bob: i don't know, i do have an opinion. the prison if these facing impeachment in criminal investigation, and that in and of itself they were wrong but i am concerned about the way they were obstructed and i think that we now have a problem, jack and i discussed this in the book, we have a difference of opinion on this on the one hand people assume that the president is in office and he or she cannot be prosecuted can be investigated but not prosecuted. when they leave office, there's this general sense and a little bit of sort of a wave or aftermath of the pardon that is divisive for one administration to prosecute more so than another administration prayed that perhaps a better reason is just not to do it. and jack points out in the book that he's not arguing that conduct prior to becoming president for prosecution, not arguing that any prosecutions are thought to be suspended. the concern that i think we debated the book is the concern some have with an administration prior administration and making a concerted effort to

bob worked in a in a democ. together they written a sort of guide to the damage that donald trump presidency did to our governing institution and they suggest how to go about repairing and better protecting ourr system. a couple of brief housekeeping notes. first, to pose a question that any point just click on the q&a icon at the bottom of the screen. screen. the chat function also will be active, though for comments, not questions, questions in the q&a column. and in the chat, you'll find a link for purchasing copies of "after trump." jack served under president george w. bush as special counsel from 2002-2003 and then as a legal counsel at the justie department 2003-2004. he is 2004. he is now professor at harvard law school. he's also a cofounder of l'affaire and written previous books, one firsthand account of the legal battling in the bush administration over counterterrorism policy and actions, and other about the disappearance ofct jimmy hoffa. in jack's relationship with his own stepfather who was a pri

in some of the stuff i found on curious, let's start with you bob woodward and bob costa, what made your jaw drop. what was a revelation in the nugget in the event and the conversation, what was it that jumped out at you and made you say whoa. >> the theme of what we found in it truly surprised us that this period between the election and the inauguration of biden was a national security crisis not just a domestic crisis, the worry that trump might have a right stand moment and what would be the domestic impact of that, what we didn't realize is the chinese, the russians, the iranians were watching the united states. and were terrified about what was going on and put themselves on military alert, the chinese at one point, general lead ahead of the chinese military was telling people and it was the intelligence report and he thought the united states was going to check china but when general milley, chairman of the joint chief solve this, this is a crisis because the adversary thinks you might attack them as general milley told his senior staff then you have to worry they may attack you a

bob will discuss some of these in more detail. part one focuses on how to achieve better protection against abuses of presidential power for personal and political gain and most of these reforms need to be implemented by congress and most of these reforms are basically were governed by norms in the past full disclosure, conflict of interest pardoning power and the governed successfully in the past. maybe trump to show that those are just inadequate and we need to take a hard look to ensure we counter the state intervention in presidential campaigns and the real gap in the way the u.s. elections are regulated by statute. we feel the norms that work really well in presidential conflicts of interest are important to the law and the president needs to be separated by the lawn paying a critical -- his businesses need to be completely open. this foreign investments especially need to be open in front of congress and all of the things that the legal fair behind it. the disclosure requirement needs to be made a matter of law and it's hard

>> bob and i have a little bit of a disagreement on this. i will let bob speak for himself. i think that that opinion was probably correct. i think bob has some problems with the opinion. in the book, we assume the validity of the opinion, but it was twice affirmed by the justice department, one during maybe the ford administration in the 70s and again at the end of the clinton administration, and our proposals assume the continuing validity of that executive branch ruling. i will allow bob speak to this, but it is something that could be overturned. all it would take for the justice department to decide it is no longer part of the law. it's conceivable they will change it. i don't know what the administration's plans are about that. bob, do you have thoughts about that? >> i don't know. i do have qualms with the two opinions. they were boast issued in the administrations -- they were both issued in the administrations of presidents who were facing criminal investigation and impeachment. that doesn't suggest in and of itself that they were wrong, but i am concerned about the

still with us are the authors bob woodward and bob costa. bob this isn't the question that lends itself well to a 62nd reply. but i will try. a lot of the people in my life who are smart and thoughtful, some recognizable names from our broadcast, have been in touch with me to say, in their view, right now is the time to worry. your book makes it clear, down to the last page, that we came close. how close are we right now? >> well, you can't predict the future. but what bob costa i and i found in eight or nine months of reporting, going off line, not writing for the washington post or going on television, is that there was a national security crisis in this country. that war with china was dangerously possible. there is a call that we have the transcript of, between anc pelosi, the speaker of the house, and chairman milley, in which on january 8th, two days after the insurrection at the capitol, in which she -- i don't know if you have had the chance to look at it. but it's an extraordinary transcript of the leader of the house, the speaker o

bob woodward and bob costa have no subpoena power. what they do have are better sources than they could wish nor. they put it in their book "peril." bob woodward and robert costa join us now. bob and robert, congratulations on the book. it's extraordinary. what is your reaction, bob, to this first round of subpoenas, and how did they square with what these aides and allies of the president were doing on around january 6 based on your reporting? >> well, the question is, of course, what happened and ultimately what did trump know, and we describe an extraordinary phone call between bannon and trump right before the insurrection in which bannon, who was the former top aide to trump, the chief strategist in the white house, tell him he had been fired at that point, but in the trump world you go and you come back. ban no one says to trump, we will strangle the biden presidency in the crib. and that is a foreshadowing, of course, of the violence that we saw the next day. so they're trying -- they're working around the edges in a very logic

we will discuss that in a moment with bob woodward and robert costa. the book doesn't tell us what might have gone through donald trump's mind about launching a nuclear attack or possibly launching a nuclear attack, but it is filled with details about what went through donald trump's mind and what came out of his mouth about his attack on the constitution. for donald trump, after he lost the election holding onto the presidency was all up to his vice president, mike pence. donald trump wanted mike pence on january 6th to simply not count the electoral votes from some states won by joe biden so that donald trump would then end up with the largest number of electoral votes and be declared the winner of the presidency or so the electoral college could choose the representative, and since each state in the house only gets one vote, 26 majority states in the house of representatives would then have given the presidency to donald trump. on january 5th, the night before the electoral college votes were to be counted in congress, donald trump told mike pence t

bob will discuss some ofcu these in more detail. part one focuses on how to achieve better protections against abuses of presidential power for personal and political gain. most of m the reforms basically have the quality governed by the norms in the past and the tax disclosure and conflict of interest. they were governed pretty successfully by the norms in the past and we think trump shows that they are just inadequate and we need the legal constraints to ensure that the president for example to counter the state intervention in the presidential campaigns. they need to be made into very strictly enforceable laws. the businesses need to be completely open. the states especially need to be open in congress and all of this needs to have a legal machinery behind it. it needs to be made a matter of law and finally in this chapter we think it's hard to reform the pardon power because theor pardn power is one of the core powers of the president in article two but we believe that there are waysys congress can put guardras on abuses of pres

so i think it was exciting for bob. i think he comes from this incredibly wealthy family and has spent his life in the shadow of a very powerful father, a successful brother, and i think this was an opportunity for him to say, hey, i've probably done something better than all of you have done. i've committed three murders over 30 years and gotten away with it. so i do think that people have a compulsion to confess. i think that you carry that around inside of you. and i think that's what bob was expressing when he agreed to sit down with me. in fact, volunteered to sit down with me. >> it's like the words wanted to come out. that was my sense of it when we finally saw that aha moment. and when you started making "jinx," was any part of your motivation to have robert durst finally held to account and wind up in prison? >> to address your first point, the first thing he says when he goes into the bathroom, i've just confronted him with this evidence. he hasn't seen it in many, many years. he knew, somehow, in the back of

bob: that is an important question. trump engineered a national security crisis we do not know about during the transition from trump to biden. as costa says, everything is peril. if we look at biden now he has immense problems with afghanistan, with the virus, and he is trying to work out some sort of legislation to get his program through. he is running into obstacles in his own party. he is supposed to be the leader and say everyone do this. that is not the way washington works. maybe it is inevitable that people will be outliers. senator manchin, senator sinema, they will just say we are not going to march to somebody else's vision. we have our own. lisa: which raises the question about this new increasing frustration about a dysfunctional washington and how you go about handling it. i want to know if you think there's any president in terms of a group saying we will not work with the establishment until we get anything we want, which seems to be an increasing french on both sides of the aisle, democrats and republi

what is your reaction, bob, to the first round of subpoenas? how do they square with what the a aides and allies of the president were doing based on your reporting? >> the question is what happened and ultimately what did trump know. we describe extraordinary phone call between bannon and trump, right before the insurrection, in which bannon, who was the former top aide to trump, the chief strategist in the white house, he had been fired by that point, but as you know in the trump world, you go and then you come back, and bannon says to trump, we will strangle the biden presidency in the crib. that is a foreshadowing, of course, of the violence that we saw the next day. they're trying -- they are working around the edges in a very logical way. now bannon -- what we have in our book, bannon has publically confirmed. >> robert, bannon is one of the of the people being subpoenaed. the book reveals how instrumental he was in the final days of the presidency. as bob said, by then, it was known that people who once were horrible could be advisers on

we have bob nardelli this morning, go ahead, bob. bob: you have made excellent points. as i talk to fellow colleagues and ceo's, we are seeing a modest pullback on capital spending. if you look at the proposed corporate tax rate from 21 to 26.5 in the prior administration we saw a lot of onshoring, we saw job creation. this administration with those corporate tax rates, we are not going to see onshoring, we will see reensuring. they will come off china but they will go to vietnam and other places. number 2, we can't get people back to work. they will go re-shoring, supply chain that's crippling our economy. how do we fix that? congressman: well, i will tell you that the approach to increase taxes is the opposite. right now they are trying to raise the corporate tax rate to 26 and a half percent but there's a lot of conversation in the back room saying they want to go higher. even with the 26.5%, that raises the taxes on job creators higher than that of communist china. basically what it does it incentivizing factories and manufacturers to fire their employees, close sho

. >> bob redell is live in antioch where two homes went up in flames and bob, that was just one call the firefighters had overnight. >> reporter: there have been two separate fires in antioch this morning. i would say the larger of the two is right here. we're on g street where there was a fire to start in the back of this home and from there, that was a wildfire that spread to this home and another home on the other side, causing extensive damage to this home and the other home. the woman who lives here was able to get out on her own. she's still looking for her cat. fingers crossed she says they might be hiding somewhere. there were four people in the other home that you can't see, they got out as well. everyone's out okay. it's their homes are uninhabitable because of the fire. the fire started around 3:30. there is a right of way in the back of these homes and there's a lot of vegetation there. there was a one acre wildfire that spread to their fence lines and went into the houses. we did ask the fire department if the fire is suspicious in nature because of the time of the day a

woodward and bob costa. we are shifting focus to president biden. one of the things you described about the relief bill that happened over the spring, this is something that really matters right now for president biden's infrastructure and other legacy items that he is hoping to pass. you talk about him really turning the screws on joe manchin, right? if you don't come along, biden says to manchin, you're really f-ing me. >> yeah. this was real politics. this was the rescue plan. that was $1.9 trillion. now of course he is asking for $3.5 trillion, almost twice as much. and manchin was the key. and we are able to describe this process -- i mean, this is what goes on in washington. people scream and yell and leverage and somebody like joe manchin, he kind of goes both ways on this. and he is saying, oh, no, we are not going to spend all that money. and then biden gets him on the phone and says, you know, look, you're f-ing me. you can't do that. you're a democrat. and eventually manchin comes along and suppor

let's bring in bob heller, former federal reserve governor. bob welcome. what does "soon" mean to you in there was some discussion of how soon is soon >> well, i would expect it is probably in november, maybe december it's a nebulous concept. they should have said in a few weeks or in a month or two >> yeah. let's talk about inflation, which is clearly running hotter, double the -- more than double the target and the members of the board seem to be thinking it is going to come back down raur dramatically, that most of it is so-called transitory 2.2% prediction for next year. that's still a little bit above the 2% threshold what if it stays higher longer doesn't that put the fed in a about it of a -- a box >> i fully agree with you. inflation -- there is more to come there is more in the pipeline. we have had exchange rate change especially towards key suppliers such as china. we cannot get enough supplies into the country so inflation will be with us for a while and may well increase. wages are going up now we have important wage negotiations going on. and

>> you know, i never felt in danger when i was with bob. he's a very charming guy and engaging as some people are who commit crimes like this, but there was a moment as you know there was a moment when i was -- before the final two episodes, when bob knew that i had this evidence, i had shown it to him, but it hadn't come out yet, and this is a guy who kills witnesses. i was aware of that, and i did have security for a period of time and it was awkward. but what can you do? i had to get the information out. >> where does this go next for you? >> i'm always filming all of this. this all fascinates me, so i don't think the story is over at all. i'm sure they are going to try to appeal and all that stuff, but the bigger question is, how did this happen? how did it take 40 years for there to be any accountability? i think that makes it a very interesting story going forward. >> finally came on friday. andrew jarecki, thanks very much. let's go to rob. >> reporter: good morning again, george. beautiful start to the day here in boston. we are wat

i saw some things from bob corker. he sought unsuccessfully to limit a president's nuclear authority. this seems like a fit for it. tell me about it and whether you have bipartisan support? >> it address as litany of weaknesses in our democracy that we discovered over the last four years. so it would protect inspector generals and whistle blowers. it would strength ten independence of the justice department so it can't be utilized as the president's personal law firm or to go after the president's personal enemies. it would address the emodel you meant clause so presidents can't enrich themselves or rent out hotels rooms to gulf nations. it would strengthen penalty for the hat check so we don't have administrative officials recommended for firing for violating the law, whose response is blah, blah, blah, what are you going to do about sit in it would also try to address these temporary appointments to cabinet positions to get around senate confirmation. and there are other critical reforms. most importantly, it who exp

i was going to say to bob that mr. costa is the rising tide that lifts all votes and that's why he was a frequent guest because he all made us look better. and i'm going to cut you off from saying and i remember of your lead traits, the size and depth of your roladex, including many conversations and so much reporting pertaining to mr. bannon. and it strikes me that mr. bannon has had an undercelebrated and certainly under reported role in everything that came to be 1-6. am i correct in that? >> you're spot on a and thanks bob and brian for your generous words. it's a pleasure to be here and work with both of you. when you look at the bannon story, for example. we said to ourselves we're going to go back to january 6th and what happened in this dangerous transition period and ask further questions to dig deeper. and as we started to sit down with sources for five, six, sometimes 10 hours, longer interviews add length, you started to realize there were other players in this whole period who had significant influence, a

bob was talking about it a little bit but how are conditions looking out there this morning? >> usually the early morning hours are the best time. sad to see that spot where you come around the bend and gets the first view of lake tahoe and now next time we go it's going to look a lot different. all of this land continues to burn and so we have a fire detection at work where it puts yellow boxes where the areas have already burned and the red shows the active fires and the progress that it's making towards the south as well as the east moving closer to south lake tahoe. look at some of these markers here. we mapped it out where we do have active fire and as the crow flies about three miles, but notice here, that's the airport right there. that's just off the road and the fires are getting very close and going up some of those hills and also with the winds today spanning those flames we don't know how much this fire is going to progress even more. very dangerous conditions for these firefighters as we get these gusts that kick up possibly some of them up to 50 miles per hour.

"today in the bay's" bob redell is live in the east bay to talk about that extension. bob? >> good morning to you, marcus and kris. a few reasons why we have another spare the air day today monday labor day. it's going to be hot again. two, the car pollution is up because more people are venturing out and getting back to the pre-covid routines. thirdly, you have the wildfire smoke from up north that's been drifting down here. so the bay area air quality management district is asking that you limit your driving today and if you're going to be going outside, doing any sort of exercise, do it now or, you know, a little bit after sun vooiz that's when the ozone levels are the lowest part, at the lowest levels for the day. with regards to that wildfire that's burning near lake tahoe, the caldor fire which has burned over 215,000 acres and is now 44% contained. caldor fire says the winds have let up, it's reduced the fire spread and they've been able to get more containment around the fire. yesterday authorities started letting people back in the south lake tahoe. you'll recall l

the details of the book, bob woodward, this is your third book looking at donald trump. was he different at the end of his term than he was at the beginning? >> he's always shocking and different, but also always the same, and this -- you know, in a way, the reporting on trump is a quest. who is he? what does he really care about? what is he doing? what is his political appeal to so many people in the country? and just, if you zoom in on the reality now, the idea that he and nixon -- when nixon left and resigned, he didn't do around and campaign, trump is campaigning. >> woodruff: is campaigning and i want to ask you about that. robert costa, so much important reporting in this book, including about, as i just mentioned, about how trump's advisors at different points, at many points, were trying to keep him from carrying out acts that would have been either violated the constitution or have been purely illegal, and there's one example in here i want to ask you about, it was to 20, the attorney general bill barr, he was being asked by the president to okay an order that w

first of all, congratulations, bob. i know it's just emerged, it was number one on "the new york times" best sellers list. not a surprise. all of your books are usually number one on "the new york times" best sellers list. this is also causing a lot of news creating a lot of news out there right now. what was your reaction to general milley, for example, today saying he has no regrets speaking to you in detail for the book "peril"? >> that's his theory. and i happen to agree that it's very important that people be responsive. this is a long-term project that bob costa and i worked on. and we were able to get facts and documents and transcripts of the milley/pelosi call, for instance. which tells you that he agreed with her assertion that president trump was acting crazy. he said today, well, look, i'm not qualified to determine if the mental condition of the president of the united states. but as we used to in the old days call, that's a nondenial denial. >> let me ask you about that because in his testimony yesterday a

but in this new book, one of the things that bob woodward and robert costa report. is that mike pence is far more reluctant to do his job, far more reluctant to do is constitutional duty, that the public has suggested. and bottom line vice president pence did not ultimately exceed to trump solutions, to block -- to leave trump in power or under the election powers honorable, but it was not apparently for a lack of him trying to find a way to do that. this is from bob woodward and robert costa in late december pence phoned former vice president dan quail, at 70 for the ones boyish looking quail was living the private gulf playing life he loved in arizona. the two men shared a unique profile, indiana republicans who have become. vice president pence wanted advice, despite the electoral college casting its ballot for biden on december 14th, trump was convinced that pence could throw the election to trump on january, six when congress certified the final count. pence explained to's fellow in, dan quail, that trump was pressuring him to intervene to ensure biden would no

bob redell is picking up our coverage. good morning, bob. >> good morning. if you look at the polls it shows that governor newsom should be able to defeat this recall vote and keep his job, but that's not something he's taking for granted. this is video from last night when the governor brought in president joe biden to campaign on his behalf at a rally in long beach. he praised the leadership in protecting californians from covid and his stance standing up for science. at another campaign stop yesterday, larry elder, the leading replacement candidate, questioned how the governor has made life better for californians, especially when it comes to things like crime and public education. business and republican john cox, another replacement candidate campaigned yesterday at the famed french laundry restaurant in yountville to remind voters governor newsom went to the dinner party at that restaurant during the pandemic while most people and businesses were on lockdown. that became the flashpoint that jump started this effort. kevin kiley, he's from rockland, twe

i think bob has some problems with the opinion. in the book we see the validity of the opinion trust by the jet twice by the justiceyb apartment 1970s and then again at the clinton administration and then all the validityume of an executive branch ruling at something could be overturned if all that it chases the justice department were no longer do that and then but i don't know what the administration's plans are aboutbo that. >> i don't know. so those that are facing a criminal investigation and impeachmentve that is in and of itself but i am concerned about the way those opinions were constructed and i think that they now have a problem that we discussed in the book with a slight difference of opinion that on the one hand or swimming atnt the president is in office cannot be investigated but not prosecuted but when you leave office there is a general sense of the aftermath of the for the nixon party that it is so divisive for one administration to prosecute the former of another administration but the better part of wisdom is ju

to the colonel and bob, lou, thank you for hosting us. steve, you're being attacked here, don, to everybody here, especially the residents who have been impacted so severely. we are with you. this won't be overnight, by the way. this is going to be a longer road than any of us will like. we will not relent. >> we are going to take you from new jersey up to new york where the governor, kathy hochul and new york city mayor bill deblasio are giving their own update. let's listen in. >> mayor bill deblasio, burrough presidents, we're here today because of a devastating storm that shocked the people of this city. and even the morning after, we're still uncovering the true depth of the loss. the human loss, which is hard to imagine, that people simply in their cars, in their homes and their basements succumb to the ravages of a brutal storm, and their families just must be in such pain this morning. so to all of them, we offer our love, our condolences, and our wishes for their healing. and we'll be there to support them. and this is all precip

bob woodward and robert costa are unioning us now. their new book "peril" is today. >> it's good to have you with us. there are some pieces of the book that have come out. what was most striking to you that have not been released to the public? >> wow. i guess the overall that this was a national security crisis that trump brought because countries like china, russia, iran looked at what was occurring in the united states. if you go back and look at what trump said before the election, it was scary to people abroad. after the january 6th insurrection and china ignited on this point the chairman of the joint chief, mark milley had these calls with the chinese military and made it very clear, we are going to stabilize things. let's not have a war in a period of miscommunications and high tension. as history shows, that's when you have an incident or even a war. >> so, bob, i read the milley part early on like everybody did and read the entire book. i was shot shocked by his actions because i guess like you were especially because you we
