Episode Details

Segment one: This is a long, hot Summer for President Biden, with his agenda, and perhaps his presidency, on the line. What's the outlook for the bipartisan infrastructure bill, the $3.5 trillion dollar spending plan and for stopping GOP states from suppressing the vote? Guests: Peter Baker, NY Times Chief White House Correspondent and Reid Epstein, NY Times Political Correspondent.

Segment two: Facebook is a gigantic success but it's taking fire from both the right and the left. Why haven't they done more to block hate speech, conspiracy theories, Russian meddling in US elections and Covid vaccine misinformation? An explosive new book, "An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook's Battle for Domination" takes readers behind the scenes at the social media giant. Guest: author Cecilia Kang, a NY Times technology reporter.
