Bob Woodward thinks he knows what Donald Trump wants to do if he wins the presidency again.

Tuesday on MSNBCs Morning Joe, Woodward and fellow Washington Post journalist Robert Costa spoke about the reporting that went into their newly released book, Peril.

The book details the final months of the Trump administration and lifts the lid on his many expletive-laden rants and attempts to overturn the 2020 election result.

Costa noted that many of Trumps allies they interviewed believe he wants another shot at becoming president in 2024.

Woodward brought up the question of what Trump would want to do if he were back in the White House. And the answer is: to be Donald Trump, Woodward said. And thats not an agenda. That does not connect to the needs of the people in the country.

His disconnection from that, the struggle that people are engaged in he has no idea, and again, the power of the presidency is so great, Woodward continued.

Former President Donald Trump has said that Roman Catholics are "very angry" with President Joe Biden amid the administration's stated support for a pro-abortion bill.

Trump gave an interview to the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) on Friday and strongly criticized Biden after the White House expressed support for the Women's Health Protection Act which was recently passed by Democrats in the House of Representatives.

The White House said the administration "strongly supports" the act but it is unlikely to make it to the president's desk as it looks set to fail in the evenly divided Senate.

Trump spoke to CBN Chief Political Analyst David Brody about Biden's effect on religious voters.

"If you look at his policies, and if you look at what he's doing to religion, and organized religion, if you look at what's going on, I don't know how the Catholic Church can be supportive of him," Trump said.

"Now I got, I guess, 50 or 52 percent of the Catholic vote and I was very disappointed by that," he said.

"I said, there's no way. Evangelicals great, but they got it, they really got it. But the Catholics are very angry, very angry at him."

It is difficult to be entirely sure on the question of Catholic voters in November's election. According to exit polls conducted by Edison Research following the 2020 presidential election, an estimated 52 percent of Catholics voted for Biden and 46 percent for Trump. This represents a six-point swing to the Democratic candidate over 2016.

However, AP VoteCast estimated that Biden won 50 percent of Catholic votes compared to Trump's 47 percent. Biden is a Catholic and regularly attends mass at his local parish at St. Joseph's on the Brandywine in the Diocese of Wilmington, Delaware.

Biden and the Democrats' position on abortion has created tensions with the Catholic Church. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is also a Catholic who is open about her faith but has strongly defended the new pro-abortion bill in the face of criticism from the archbishop of San Francisco.

The Biden administration issued a statement in support of the bill on September 20, saying: "The Administration strongly supports House passage of H.R. 3755, the Women's Health Protection Act of 2021" and cited the controversial Texas abortion ban.

"In the wake of Texas' unprecedented attack, it has never been more important to codify this constitutional right and to strengthen health care access for all women, regardless of where they live. The Administration looks forward to working with Congress as the Women's Health Protection Act advances through the legislative process to ensure that this bill codifies and is consistent with the protections established by Roe and subsequent Supreme Court precedent," the White House said.

"The constitutional rights of women are essential to the health, safety, and progress of our nation. Our daughters and granddaughters deserve the same rights that their mothers and grandmothers fought for and wonand that a clear majority of the American people support. We will not allow this country to go backwards on women's equality," the statement concluded.

Activist Greta Thunberg has referred to a Twitter spat she had with former President Donald Trump and expressed pessimism about the ability of world leaders and an upcoming global environmental summit to effect change on the climate crisis.

In a wide-ranging interview with The Guardian ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in October in Glasgow known as COP26, the Swedish teenager described living with fame, her autism, and took aim at the green credentials of New Zealand prime minister, Jacinda Ardern.

After saying that her best friends were in the climate movement, Thunberg was asked if she could ever be friends with someone who denied the existence of climate change. She said that she could because, "in one way we're all climate deniers because we're not acting as if it is a crisis. I don't know," she said, "it depends on the situation."

She was then asked by the paper, "So there's hope for your friendship with Donald Trump?"

After laughing, Thunberg replied, "Well, I don't think we would enjoy each other's company that much. We have very different interests."

The former U.S. president mocked Thunberg when she was named Time magazine's person of the year in 2019.

"So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend!" Trump tweeted at the time, "Chill Greta, Chill!"

Last year, she got her own back by mocking Trump's demands for an election recount by tweeting the same message but swapping her name for his.

The 18-year- old has used Twitter to make fun of other world leaders, such as Russian President Vladimir Putin, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and British prime minister Boris Johnson.

However, her irreverence towards the powerful blends into pessimism over their ability to tackle climate change through talking shops like COP26.

"The leaders will say we'll do this...and achieve this, and then they will do nothing," she said, "we can have as many COPs as we want, but nothing real will come out of it."

She also doubted the concern of New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern made in June that tackling climate change was a question of "life or death."

"It's funny that people believe Jacinda Ardern and people like that are climate leaders," Thunberg said, "That just tells you how little people know about the climate crisis." When asked why she thought that, she replied, "the emissions haven't fallen. It goes without saying that these people are not doing anything."

Figures released by the Kiwi government in April showed New Zealand's greenhouse-gas emissions had gone up by two percent in 2019. Newsweek has contacted the New Zealand prime minister's office for comment.

On Friday, youth activists staged protests across the world as part of a campaign to pressure governments into taking action on the environment.

The Philadelphia 76ers are entangled in Ben Simmons drama at the start of a new season.

To recap: Simmons made another All-Star team and helped the Sixers get the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, then had an awful second round series in the playoffs defined by historically bad free throw shooting and an unwillingness to shoot in the fourth quarter (even on wide open dunks) as the Atlanta Hawks pulled off the upset. Head coach Doc Rivers and superstar teammate Joel Embiid threw Simmons under the bus for his rough performance at the end of the series, and Simmons told Philadelphia he wanted to be traded. The Sixers asked for the world for Simmons and never completed a deal, and now Simmons is saying hes going to hold out of training camp until hes finally dealt. Its a mess.

Before the Sixers report to training camp next week, Rivers stopped by MSNBC to promote a new podcast hes narrating called It Was Said: Sports. The podcast focuses on iconic sports speeches including Jack Bucks For America poem following the 9/11 attacks, Muhammad Ali protesting the Vietnam War, Billie Jean King championing equal pay and discusses why they continue to resonate with us to this day.

During his interview with host Willie Geist, Rivers was asked about the Simmons trade demand. Rivers said the team is trying to convince Simmons to stay in Philadelphia, but theyre having a hard time changing his mind. This led Rivers to make an outlandish and objectively hilarious comparison:

Theres times that I think were getting through, Rivers acknowledged. And theres times that I think that Im talking to people who still believe Trump won the election. So Im not sure, but Im going to keep trying.

Heres the video:

No matter what Rivers and the Sixers say to Simmons, they cant convince him to go back to work for the team despite being under contract for the next four years. To Rivers, this is somehow similar to voters on the right who refuse to accept that Trump lost the presidential election to Joe Biden. What in the world.

This is just classic Rivers here. Hes pandering to the MSNBC audience that hates Trump. Hes pandering to the Philly sports fanbase by talking about how stubborn Simmons is being. Hes making a connection that really doesnt make any sense. Its beautiful and outrageous and totally unnecessary.

Rivers comments on Simmons after the Game 6 loss to the Hawks played a big role in Simmons wanting out. Rivers has tried to walk back those comments recently, but it doesnt look like its working. Rivers comparing him to Trump superfans for like no reason at all probably isnt going to help matters.

Its going to be a weird season in Philly.
