kamala harris had a bit of a different take. she said in a tweet yesterday, today's verdict speaks for itself. i've spent a majority of my career working to make our criminal justice system more equitable. it's three there's still a lot more work to do, and there's a lot of outrage from some people about that and looking forward at some reforms that may need to take place or may take place because of this verdict. alex? >> okay. liz mclaughlin in kenosha, thank you for that. >>> an ed terrill no today's "wisconsin journal" sending a chilling message to wisconsin and the rest of the country. goes on to say the disappointing verdict is sure to embolden militant people who seek to take the law into their own hands. speaking with reverend al sharpton an potential for a rise in vigilantes in just a few minutes. >>> meantime, breaking news and a statistic in the coronavirus pandemic. number of covid deaths in this year surpazzed total from all of 2020. according to federal data and johns hopkins university. total number reported death

>> honestly do i think that kamala harris is going to be leading the fight against inflation? not particularly, and she had a trip in the administration can walk and chew gum at the same time, on the other hand, this administration right now has zero credibility on the issue of inflation, and we look back to last spring, when the treasury secretary for bill clinton, the top economic advisor in the white house to barack obama after the big covid relief package said this is going to stock like max stoke inflation, and for months we have heard the transitory soon, and now we are in november and it's worse than ever, and to say that we take it seriously, there are some people that have been taking it seriously and the white house is talking and down, so very right to the game, and the least of their problems is where kamala harris is, the bigger problem is a fact that she has 28% approval. >> john: on the topic of being transitory, which is the coho sandra smith the other day, but they keep selling us on the idea that the bill back better plan, all we have to do is pass this recon

it's down to whether or not they can get all 50 democrat senators and kamala harris with the tiebreaker. the democratic senator tester had concerns with saule omarova and met with her and still had concerns. here's what he said after his meeting with omarova: do you think that the democrats will get off 50 senator or watching tester today do you think he will vote her down? >> i hope he picks up the phone and calls the white house and tells them he's had enough with radical nominees. someone not appropriate for this level of authority. i am certain he is hearing from bankers and businesses that will be targeted and put out of businesses, like oil and gas. >> john: democrats including the chairman of that committee believes she's the subject of a smear campaign, omarova. he said this is what happens when trumpism meets mccarthyism. there are big concerns about her background. >> sandra: absolutely and what we heard from elizabeth warren. she said omarova doesn't tow the line and believes banks should be wreckulated. -- regulated. they are regulated. they have a lot of rules and regulatio

mcauliffe has enlisted his heavy political hitters, president joe biden, vice president kamala harris, congressional democrats like jim clyburn. a fifth of the vote has already come in. we've had early voting in virginia through the middle of september and this weekend. if you look at these ballots, a lot of them are coming from democratic areas in northern virginia and in the virginia beach area so it will be interesting to see exactly how those places turn out. mcauliffe says that gives him an early advantage but there is plenty of voting left to happen today. back to you. >> sandra: an update from virginia. >> john: virginia has emerged as ground zero for parental involvement in schools. mike emanuel live in ash burn, virginia. that's in loudoun county where the debate over education has reached a fever pitch in recent months and shows no signs of slowing down. mike? >> john, no doubt. good afternoon to you here in loudoun county. the wealth is not pretty. 46 degrees and raining, but turnout seems to have picked up over the lunch hour. at least at this polling location. virginia vo

countries and vaccination, it shouldn't be surprising to people given that candidate biden and candidate kamala harris casts doubt on the vaccines being developed last year because they thought it would be a political benefit to donald trump and so they suggested that either the vaccines wouldn't arrive on time or that they shouldn't be trusted given that they were going to be approved by his fda and now i don't think they should be surprised when they come back the next year that there is a fair amount of skepticism. in fact, these are valuable tools, people should use them and i think as you suggest, a nonpartisan fact based argument here would be very useful as we tackle the next variance in the variant after that. >> alicia: i want to bring in my colleague, do you have a question for james? >> alicia: i do have one question because the president just said yesterday during the thanksgiving parade on "the today show" that america is back, but as americans wake up today, we have a sell-off in the markets, this new variant and now just minutes ago, the united states announced have this travel b

there are reports of severe dysfunction in kamala harris's office. alexandria hoff is tracking what's going on there. marc thiessen with analysis and first jackie heinrich live from the north lawn. the press secretary last night tweeted in support and defense of kamala harris. they must realize this story has got some legs. >> no kidding, dana. it was interesting to see her response to it in that way on twitter almost immediately after it came out. going back to the polling you were referring to. the most troubling for democrats and for the white house is that this drop in the polls came after congress passed the bipartisan infrastructure deal the president will sign into law later today. meaning that legislative win did not translate to a political bump for president biden. that is a problem for them. "washington post" abc poll shows the president's aroofshal rating down to 41%. 53% disapprove of the job he is doing. 78% rate the economy negatively and 38% in poor condition. half of americans overall blame president biden for rising inflation. and 5

kamala harris is a difficult person. there's a reason why she droppe a early in the democratic presidential sweepstakes. people didn't like her. that is why walking castro and marry any williams and less a longer than she did. this is coming to the fore and there are too many blind quotes from white house staff on both the biden side and the harris side for us to dismiss this. believe you me, she is not a favorite inside the west wing and they still paid their very attractive picture of her. she's got some tough assignments . what is she doing about the sto assignments. for example, she is in charge o the border and we had the worst month in history. 154,000 apprehensions of the border and this is the woman wh is in charge of the administration's policy on the issue. there are real problems in the west wing and they are not goin to go away. >> bill: we have her approval rating at 28%. biden approval in the state of texas, 61% disapprove of the jo he's doing and they are or work wants be governor. losing to ted cruz in a

vice president kamala harris today's verdict speaks for itself. a majority of my career working to make our criminal justice system more equitable. clear there is still a lot more work to do. the social media post you referenced from last year is a tweet about a month before the 2020 election. then candidate biden said then president donald trump refused to disavow white supremacists in their debate the previous night. it had a video montage that included a photo of kyle rittenhouse. the other democrats have offered similar takes as president and vice president. now some republicans are commenting. >> justice was done in that, bret. the jury system works. you know, i was a prosecutor for seven years. those charges should never have been brought. i who ep that everyone will leave this young man alone now and let him go to living his life. he should not become a political symbol for anybody. >> perhaps you hear more from the white house today. president biden travels to fort bragg, north carolina where he meets the service members military families.

. >> julie: i wonder if al roker will take kamala harris's place. al roker, thank you for what you've done for our country. vice president harris is taking heat spending more than $500 on cook ware during her recent paris trip while americans struggle with rising inflation and economic uncertainty. among her purchases a $375 serving dish and frying pan that costs around $160. i do not cook. i don't know about you, benjamin. i make no sense of spending money on cook ware. again, i don't cook so i'm not an expert. how about yourself? >> benjamin: that's a lot of money for a pot. if she will buy a pot that expensive buy it in american rather than france. spend the money over here. >> julie: i have no reason to buy cook ware. i would spend that money on something else. >> benjamin: who does the cooking? >> julie: my husband or my mother. anyone else but me. moving on. >> benjamin: the supreme court set to hear arguments in a major abortion case next week. the state of m is miss seeks to overturn roe vs. wade. bail reform. we'll look at the push to keep

kamala harris tweeted this. when anyone makes false claims to police it diverts resources away from serious investigations but more difficult for other victims of crime to come forward. we must speak the truth. hate crimes are on the rise in america. >> bill: trying to have it both ways. >> dana: so is he. i can't believe he is going forward with the trial. >> bill: the police chief in chicago was as ticked as one could be because of the resources diverted in the investigation. it turned out to be a big hoax. jury selection begins today. >> dana: they gave him a chance to plea. he did not. we go through the trial and see what happens. border patrol agents working hard in texas over the weekend as the humanitarian crisis continues unfolding there. the latest face of that crisis look, a child abandoned in mexico. one migrant tries by passing the border all together. how he made it to the united states but didn't make it far. ♪♪♪ >> are you ready to start a great career? >> safelite is now hiring. >> you will

he had kamala harris there in norfolk last friday night. barack obama visit. >> dana: don't forget stacey abrams. early and often. she said something along the lines of they will try to take this from us, right? it's not the case. terry mccauliffe has done the right thing and conceded. >> bill: joe biden made a visit. you are 0 for 4 to try to swing the state. struck out. another alert. upset win in virginia. contest in new jersey. it is tctc. it is too close to call. so where do we stand in the garden state? we'll take you there when we come back right after this. the newday two and a quarter refi has the company's lowest rate in history. 2.25% with an apr of 2.48. save thousands every year. plus there's no money out of pocket and no up front fees. newday is holding the line on interest rates so every veteran family can save. call now. this is the greatest idea you'll ever hear. okay, it's an app that compares hundreds of travel sites for hotels and cars and vacation rentals like kayak does for flights. so it's kayak. yeah, like kayak. why

. >> dana: do you think they would ask kamala harris to do that job as well? slightly kidding. >> only if they wanted to bury it. if they wanted to hear a funny laugh. >> bill: what has this administration done well? tucker thinks he has failed on public policy with regard to the vaccines. you have more deaths this year than a year ago. you came into office and had a vaccine, had a roll-out plan, had a distribution plan in place. what has this administration managed well? >> i would be hard pressed because look, if you look at it you are right. a little bit upside down on covid. the important thing to look is how far he has fallen on covid. he started off okay on the economy, he is badly upside down. started okay. do people think we are oef going in the right direction no? no. the administration bungled the first year and end the year by adding to their woes, not getting out of their problems but adding to them. schumer says by the end of the year we pass a budget. we are in our third month of the fiscal year -- yes, as of tomorrow the third month for fiscal y

do you think there needs to be somebody designated, do you think it's kamala harris, somebody to help drive for them and help sell what you are trying to say here, get away from the numbers and try to sell the policy? >> i think that's why you saw the president go up to the hill. the president has the best relationships of anyone. he was a senator for three decades. this is his job and he has acknowledged that and why he has come to the hill and on the phone today making the case to his moderates. >> dana: we'll see if they get it done and see what's in the bill. >> bill: just to be clear on the speed, jim. the rules committee 10:00 last night and they had the 72-hour window that we thought they would uphold and if they go forward and vote for it today or vote on it they would blow through that window. that's something we were trying to bring up. >> dana: great the electricity worked today. >> bill: there is something else here i want to call this up from the "wall street journal" editorial board from earlier today. a quote that they are putting out here okay? go ahead and put it on t

kamala harris wants to protect borders in europe. can't make it up. will cain is in "the faulkner focus" top of the hour. >> bill: thank you, harris. emergency -- chaos and panic in china across the country. we have the story from the state department. >> incredible scenes out of china and a reminder when the chinese communist people tell their people to do something it started with a mysterious announcement from the commerce department telling everyone in the country to stockpile supplies for an unspecified emergency. within hours panicked shoppers across the country rushed out to stockpile food, water and survival gear leaving shelves empty and sending prices skyrocketing. rumor began to spread across social media an all-out conflict with taiwan was coming. growing tensions have been heavily kofrnd in chinese state media and the army stage invasion drills leading many chinese to believe an invasion is coming and thought they should prepare and more covid lockdowns might be on the way. there were only 50 reported cases in china the government tries t

officer for raices, and the director of immigration hub, former adviser on immigration to then-senator kamala harris. erica, i think when i describe it as a massive move, you will take issue with that, and i do want to get to that moment. sergio, can you just walk people through the measures that are currently in this bill and the impact they would have, and then from there we'll talk about what needs to be done in addition. >> great. first of all, just really happy to be here and still so excited about this big win of immigration being included in the bill yesterday, the most transformative policy since the new deal under fdr. the immigration provisions in the build back better act would include protections for over 7 million undocumented immigrants and families living in this country. this includes dreamers and farm workers and tps holders and many undocumented immigrants who were essential workers and have been essential workers to help keep our country going during one of our darkest moments these past two years. it would include work permits, protections for deportations and the ability

joe biden and kamala harris right now are putting forward their agenda and trying to get it through. which they have every right to do because they won the election. if we want to be an appropriate counterweight to that, we can't be talking about what you and i are talking about right now. >> you guys need a healthcare policy. you need actual policies other than the -- whatever donald trump wakes up wanting to do that day. >> well, and that's why the last-third of the book, as you know, is about issues like education, crime, taxes. and all the things that we should be concerned about. north korea and iran, russia and china. and those are the things we should be talking about and presenting a choice to the american people. >> i would love, on a nightly basis, to get back to talking about issues that they are being debated by rational people, as opposed to this craziness which is not helping the country. >> and i am really glad to hear that and that's why i wrote the book because someone has to start that conversation on our side of the aisle. someone thhas to do that and i thought the

the white house says the president will transfer power to vice president kamala harris for a brief period of time when he's under anesthesia to get a colonoscopy. cnn's john harwood is live at the white house with this breaking news for us. john, what are you hearing right now? >> reporter: first of all, kate, it's worth noting the bit of history being made today. of course this is the first time we've had a woman vice president, and as a consequence of that, when the president takes this routine step for presidents when they undergo anes anesthesia, she's going to be the first woman in american history to exercise or have the potential to exercise presidential power. don't know how much she'll be able to do working out of her west wing office, but that is something worth stopping and taking notice of. this is something that is routine under the 25th amendment. that is the same 25th amendment that got talked about from time to time under president trump about whether his cabinet might move to somehow take power from him. of course that didn't happen. but presidents have under the 25th ame

. >> one of the things was he went under anesthesia and made kamala harris president. >> donald trump did not do that. i remember donald trump apparently have learned, he had a colonoscopy. he left the white house and no one knew what he did. he did not put mike pence in charge while he was doing that -- it's really a huge difference of what he saw. he went for a few hours for the physical and he came back and talked to the media. it's a real difference in how these two men approach this. i cover donald trump for four years and you guys though this as well as anyone. he does not talk about his care. he talks about his health and being physically fit, he wants to portray that message and there is no part of him that wants to show any walk weakness. he thought that would show weakness if he went under that procedure. it's a huge contrast. both men put out a summary but how they approached it was very different. #. >> i enjoyed the 85 minutes where i can say the president is a woman for 85 minutes. anita kumar, thank you for joining with us. you are sticking around, stay where you are. >

one of the things was he went anesthesia and made kamala harris president. donald trump didn't do that. i remember donald trump . the president is at least responsible with the launch codes and governing the country. >> i remember the day donald trump apparently -- we now have learned, or it seems he had a colonoscopy. he left the white house, no one knew where he was going. they announced it was part of a physical and it just was a guessing game for a couple years until we learned recently from a book that he actually had a colonoscopy. he did not put mike pence in charge while he was doing that. and so it's really a huge difference in what we saw. obviously joe biden announced -- his office announced it that day. he came back and talked to the media. so it's been a real difference in how these two men approached this. i covered donald trump for four years. you guys know this as well as anyone, which is he does not -- he talks about his health, he talks about being physically fit. he wants to portray that message, and there's no part of him that wants to sh

and we're seeing plenty of revealing background scoops, some suggesting vice president kamala harris is unhappy, others questioning the health of the commander in chief. people want to know whether biden, who just turned 79, will run for reelection in 2024. the white house insists he will. and frankly they are beginning to get annoyed at that question. but if biden doesn't run, what will that do to the tenuous and very fragile democratic coalition forged between the progressives and the moderates, which will be tested again this week, particularly given the fact that donald trump has consolidated more and more power over his party after the violent january 6th attack on the capitol? all of this remains top of mind as congress gets back to work tomorrow. what happens in the next week will tell us a whole lot about what we can expect to play out over the next year. so let's start with looking at where things stand with the build back better bill. for that we are joined by elina trini, a congressional reporter. when we spoke about build back better before the holidays, it was just after
