the vp s office. howard: right. this is something i ve written about to an extent. some is in the book and some written since. she has to deal with it. howard: her spokeswoman said the unnamed accusers, people pointing fingers are cowards. ron claim, chief of staff wend on the record defending axios why has it h intthere been more coverage than politico. there was politico story. howard: nothing written in newspapers? the question people are trying to face here is whether this is something that is a book thing in itself and one my argue it is, if the vice president s staff is not able to function properly, then that is an issue. but, certainly we re not getting the wall-to-wall coverage you had of palace intrigue in the trump white house. that is for sure. howard: right. you describe in your book, biden as a candidate more of a moderate candidate. didn t embrace defunding the police, medicare for all but
trump i mentioned before, there seems to be cult following that really pays attention to every single detail of these cases and they re following it very closely. i think there is not a whole lot of political appetite to see the government go after the former president. i think it is just a little too complex to have legs. howie: susan, the vanity fair, read a headline, which despises trump, donald trump s odds, the odds of donald trump going to prison just skyrocketed which is not the case at all. clearly you mentioned this earlier, clearly the prosecutors are trying to flip allen weisselberg. that is a standard prosecutorial tactic but the media speculation that weisselberg has a whole bunch of dirt on his old boss is going to far? part of the coverage is will he flip? will weisselberg flip on president trump. nobody has any idea if he would flip what he will have to say. he has given no indication he
everything begins anew. and many of us realize a fundamental human need to connect with other like-minded people. welcome back to the world. viking. exploring the world in comfort. once again. at philadelphia, we know what makes the perfect schmear of cream cheese. the recipe we invented over 145 years ago and me.the world s best, and possibly only, schmelier. philadelphia. schmear perfection. i don t just play someone brainy on tv - i m an actual neuroscientist. and i love the science behind neuriva plus. unlike ordinary memory supplements, neuriva plus fuels six key indicators of brain performance. more brain performance? yes, please! neuriva. think bigger. . howie: president biden s push to spend trillions own domestic programs gets plenty of coverage but not in one crucial respect.
part of exactly what they re charging weisel man right now. not only did not get indicted he became treasury secretary. hard to look at the coverage to not notice what is missing here. in terms of balance how often are the cases prosecuted, introduction of the letitia james, the new york attorney general who campaigned bringing an indictment against trump. she is democratic operative. she is heavily involved in the case. you have to include all the facts in the coverage so peel can look at this in an objective way. this is very political. even though some of the things he may have done may well have been tax evasion, look who gets prosecuted, who doesn t. howie: usually these are handled in a civil suit. the media don t care about allen weisselberg and that he paid taxes on leased car which was mercedes or rent-free apartment on upper west side, does the
he seems to have moved very substantially to the left. why do you think that is, and do you think the coverage reflects that? i think some of it is the presidential campaign itself, things he experienced during the campaign. that affected him as it was going on. some is running against the people he was running against. some of it is the moment has changed. i track in the book all the way through an interview i did with biden, his first interview as president, he said i m the most progressive person that ever been as president. the portait of fdr over his fireplace. that is shown in the book. that is not the moment he thought he was running for when he got into the race in 2019. this is not the presidency he thought he would have. now he looks, this is an opportunity to do a lot of things. there is a need to do a lot of things to change and he wants not to be a function of barack obama and donald trump and history as the people who kind of put him in the oval office and to be a major
