Frank Lavin talks with Jonathan Martin, Senior Political Writer, Politico, to discuss the 2024 presidential race and what Harris and Trump each need to do in the final stretch. We also discuss Jonathan's book, “This Will Not Pass,” as well as Richard Ben Cramer's masterpiece of the 1988 presidential campaign, “What it Takes.” At least one swear word in this episode. If you need more than that, you can listen again.
(This conversation originally aired on June 9, 2022) “Let me be very clear to all of you, and I've been very clear to the president. He bears responsibilities for his words and actions, no ifs, ands or buts. I asked him personally today, does he hold responsibility for what happened? Does he feel bad about what happened? He told me he does have some responsibility for what happened and he needs to acknowledge that.” — House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, speaking with fellow Republicans about Donald Trump's culpability for the attack on the Capital on January 6th 2021. The House Select Committee investigating that attack and efforts to overturn the election held its first public hearing on the 9th of June, 2022. It was a prime-time event, viewed by 20 million people. Today, on this archive edition of Midday, we're going to listen to a conversation Tom had, on the afternoon of that first hearing, with New York Times national correspondent Alexander Burns. With his Times colleague, Jonathan Martin, Alex has written a compelling and comprehensive book about the last year of the Trump administration, including the months preceding the insurrection, through the first months of the Biden Administration. Burns and Martin make a strong case for the fragility of the basic architecture of American Democracy. They argue that government cannot function in a two-party system in which neither party is internally coherent and serious about governing. Their book is full of excellent reporting and trenchant insights. And given, what we have all since learned from testimony by many witnesses presented by the January 6th Select Committee, we thought it would be interesting to re-visit Tom's conversation with Alex, and think about all that led up to that terrible day, in which for the first time in our history, we did not experience a peaceful transfer of power between one administration and the next. The book is called This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future.

In a forthcoming book, a pair of New York Times reporters and CNN political analysts report that President Joe Biden "assessed" Fox News "as one of the most destructive forces in the United States."The reporters, Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns, say that Biden was even more critical of Fox Corp patriarch Rupert Murdoch.According to the book, Biden told an unnamed associate in mid-2021 that Murdoch was "the most dangerous man in the world."The description comes many chapters into "This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future," which comes out in May.The book describes Fox as a "torrent of anti-Biden programming, stoking skepticism about vaccines and disseminating wild conspiracy theories about the January 6 attack."Many Biden allies have denounced Fox for those reasons and have blamed Rupert Murdoch and his son Lachlan, the company's CEO, for enabling hosts like Tucker Carlson.But Biden has never spoken about either Murdoch in public, according to the Factba.se database of the president's speeches, interviews, tweets and other public statements. So the comment in "This Will Not Pass" may make waves.A White House spokesperson declined to comment on the book's claim about Biden excoriating the elder Murdoch.Biden sometimes tangles with Fox's White House correspondent Peter Doocy, and was caught on a hot mic in January calling Doocy "a stupid son of a bitch." Biden then called him to apologize.Biden also occasionally makes asides about Fox's oppositional programming. Last October, at a CNN town hall, he said "I turn on Fox to find out how popular I am," winning laughs from the audience.Martin and Burns' reporting points to a much bleaker judgment of Fox's boss behind closed doors.- by Brian Stelter, CNN
