there is reason for the white house to say, look, this is the strongest bet we have even if the midterm goes bad >> who needs to hear this message, do you think? >> well, look, democratic donors and democratic activists are broadly speaking unnerved. they have unified power. given what's happening in the red states on so many issues, particularly on the right to vote, there is a sense that it is republicans on the march. i think it has given a lot of democrats a sense of drift, even though they are passing major legislation. and biden is trying to reassure the hole activist base. stkphrp one democrat involved in the campaign said they couldn't think of a single person they had spoken to in the last month who considers biden running again to be a real one. i have to say, that's not the impression that i get from democrats. >> biden is at 42%. people are unhappy with inflation, covid. they are worried about the supply chain. all of those kinds of things. at that moment, sure. if the inflation is down, jobs are up, his approval is back in the 50% range. we have a lot of precedent for exact

he's still got to get that other element, but the house leadership and white house are both confident they're going to get that through the house this week and the senate sometime before the end of the year. so if you get on a little bit of a roll, and you're able to stop the story line of incompetent democrats bickering with one another, and democrats would then like to turn to going after the republicans for the 2022 midterms. >> they need to sell this product, right? they need to sell it. the president is going out to do that. there's always lag time, of course, with infrastructure projects and the like, but he needs to make it clear to people what is going to be delivered, even as they wait for it to be delivered. >> that's right. he is going to try to make that case. now, it is a difficult environment for him to break through in a significant way. even a successful sales job is not going to make his poll numbers go from where they are now in the low 40s up to the low 50s where they were before, in part because the programs rollout over time, and, in part, the dominant economic st

way, coming towards -- >> towards your house, around other homes? >> yeah. >> and that was scary for you? >> yeah. >> mary, what has your mother talked about over the years with regard to the riot of 1919? >> coming from the south to here, she used to talk about thinking that you could come into chicago and things were different or should be different, that there was more of an openness or acceptance, and that wasn't what she found. so do you think we can live wherever we want to now? >> not really. they still don't want blacks among the whites. >> miss juanita, do you think things have gotten a lot better in the last 100 years? >> no. they're worse. i'm still afraid to go places or to do things. we're not free. >> we're not free. >> what changed in the city of chicago after that race riot of 1919? >> violence would intensify. >> things got worse? >> things got worse. yeah, absolutely. >> in the face of continued hostility, something had to give. young black men began to join forces and push back. >> people are feeling a sense of pride. they knew wh

the white house says vaccine requirements are working. helping bring the number of those unvaccinated who are eligible in the u.s. down to about 60 million. following covid's spread and giving the economy a boost. >> vaccinated workers are going back to work. vaccinated shoppers are going back to stores. >> and they believe they are on firm legal footing. >> we're pretty confident. the administration clearly has the authority to protect workers and actions announced by the president are designed to save lives. and stop spread of covid. >> when it comes to enforcing this rule for a large private business, an official telling cnn the agency making sure businesses comply will have planned inspections of some workplaces and will also rely on complaints from workers to enforce the rule. >> athena jones, thank you. >>> coming up next, the cnn exclusive. why was there so much confusion among capitol police on january 6th. what cnn is learning happened to the intelligence unit just before the insurrection. stay with us. new patients, get started

where the white house wants him to be. despite months of painstaking negotiations to court him behind this bill. now, that is uncertain. what happens to larger bill is uncertain. separately, the infrastructure bill seems more and more likely to become law and potentially within days. that's because the progressives in the house have now indicated that they will not hold that bill hostage and demand that manchin and kyrsten sinema both say that they will support the larger plan. they are saying let joe biden deal with manchin and sinema. and instead, once the negotiations are done over the larger bill, as long as voting -- voted on at the same time as the infrastructure bill, that will be enough for us to say, okay, and green light it. essentially, making -- ensuring that that bill -- $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill -- could become law. at the same time, manchin is getting criticized including from senator bernie sanders of vermont who said to us earlier today, joe manchin's concern about the debt. why not look at the inf

wasn't the white house that was breached. it was the united states capitol on january 6th, 2021, by a mob that included militia members who charged the recent presidential election was a fraud. today more than 60 members of private militia groups have been arrested and charged with crimes related to the insurrection. >> so the last time i saw silver back, donald trump had just become president, and so much has happened since then. in fact, militias and patriot movements have become part of headline news. >> silver back and his militia weren't involved in the d.c. riot but i imagine it's had an impact on them. >> hey, silver back. >> hi, lisa. >> it's been a while. >> it has been. about five years i guess. >> yeah, yeah. >> you ready to go? camp is this way. >> let's go. >> all right. >> this time around, getting in touch with silver back wasn't all that easy. first of all, you haven't returned any of my messages on facebook. >> that's because i'm banned off facebook. >> you're banned on facebook. >> yeah. as far as i know for

house documents secret while trump appeals a ruling that -- the ruling, so far, is that these documents are not covered by executive privilege, right? so he is trying to say, well, until this gets all the way through the appeals process, you shouldn't be allowed to have it. now, if the judge does not grant in his favor -- rule in his favor here, you are going to start getting these documents possibly i know as soon as friday, right? so you are going to start getting a lot of information. he succeeds, i don't know how long it could be. it could be a while. it could be months. you got to go through an appeals process. where does this stand? >> it's very favorable the ruling by the judge to say that, you know, in this case, executive privilege does not apply. um, to the former president. um, and it's a case where both -- you know, congress and executive branch agree in the legislative purpose, the intent of this investigation, and the need for these documents. and that is moving forward. but, you know, president trump -- former-president trump, i would say, is, you know, trying to do every

larry, you've heard janet yellen, the white house all say that they're still not convinced they have an inflation problem, it's temporary. how do you respond? >> look, they forecasted inflation would be 2% this year in the president's budget. it's three times that. they said in the summertime after they had been initially wrong that inflation would be back to normal by the end of the year. then they said early in the fall that inflation would subside early next year. now they're saying that it's going to subside in the second half of next year. sooner or later i'm sure it will subside, but my judgment is given the inflation momentum that has built up, that it's going to take some significant policy adjustment or some unfortunate accident that slows the economy before inflation gets back to the 2% range. >> what do you mean when you say a kind of dramatic, significant policy action? are you thinking of something sort of like what paul volcker had to do to break the back of inflation in the early 1980s? >> we're not talking about the kind of interest rates that paul volcker engineered,

the white house covid response team says the u.s. has far more tools today to fight variants than this time last year and is urging everyone eligible to get a booster. >> so, when we say that although

he was no longer a paid adviser to the white house. now, the former president, his legal team, are saying what they say is that it doesn't matter, that the president, former president, can make anyone his adviser, it doesn't have to be someone inside the government. i think that is one of the things that the lawyers in this building and other at the u.s. attorney's office down the street are looking at. trying to figure out, you know, if they are going to enforce the subpoena, that this referral from the committee, whether this is something that can stand up in court. i think that there is a lot of frustration, you can see it on twitter and some of the criticism that you hear of the attorney general and justice department, you can see that there is a lot of criticism from democrats about why it is taking so long. but, you know, people here tell me that part of the issue is that they want to make sure that when they bring this, if they bring this, that it is something that will stand the test of time. they know that it will be dissected

we're told that the white house and fbi are monitoring the situation, and the incident has drawn swift reaction from lawmakers on capitol hill. police say that an officer did fire his weapon at the vehicle to try to stop it. no one was injured by that gunfire. cnn's natasha chen on the scene with the latest. >> reporter: the police chief, mayor, and fire chief would not answer any questions at the very latest update of the evening. but earlier sunday night, they did confirm a few key points, including the fact that more than 20 people were injured, including children. they would not say how many people exactly had been killed. the police chief said they are still working on informing next of kin, and many people are still being treated in area hospitals. the police chief did say that initially about a dozen children and a dozen adults were taken to about six hospitals in the area with more people who had been taken to hospitals in private vehicles. they also said that they did not believe there were actually shots fired from the suspect vehicle. law enforcement on the scene actually fi

it looked at housing. it looked at schools. >> reporter: the conclusion was unequivocal. the root cause of the riots? racial injustice. it was all typed up in 650 pages. and it changed nothing. remember the irish boys from the white gangs? the ones who invented the drive-by shootings. they grew up to become policemen and powerful politicians. one member of the hamburg club, richard j.daly, became mayor and held the office for 21 years. >> i thank the people of chicago for their vote of confidence in my public record. >> reporter: in city hall, daly passed new housing laws to keep blacks in their place. >> there is a system called redlining which draws a red line around the community that's primarily black. and the banks won't lend money to them. you can tell when you cross certain streets, that you've changed neighborhoods. there are still these invisible lines, and you know them when you hit them. >> reporter: over time, the lines around where black people could live got tighter and tighter. and in the wake of continued violence, black men began to form their own gangs f

doctor, in light of everything elizabeth laid out, a top white house covid official, jeff zients, he says starting next week the program to distribute vaccines to kids 5 to 11 will be fully up and running is how he describes it. what do you think all of this means, this new authorization, assuming it happens, what it means for the push, the goal of getting covid under control? >> it means a lot personally to me. i can't wait to get him vaccinated and i know a lot of parents feel the same. but on the a country-wide level, this is really important. when you compare our progress in the u.s. to, say, that of the uk, which many of us in public health believe is a cautionary tale about the way in which delta can stick around and keep causing hospitalizations and deaths, the difference is the uk has been really slow to vaccinate teens and is going to be even slower in vaccinating kids. when we get these vaccines in kids' arms, kate, it's not just going to decrease risk for those kids of catching covid or having any of the horrible side effects of covid like myocarditis or hospitalization or

trump and also the former white house ethics czar. good you have to here. circling back to the documents and the hearing under way right now involving former president trump trying to shield certain documents from the january 6th committee, how do you read the judge's comments? she seemed to have criticism for both sides here. ana, thanks for having me back. thought she was far more skeptical and critical of president trump's claims of executive privilege. she did have some tough questions for the house of representatives but they had good answers, ana. on the -- on the challenge to president trump she made the point, look, you're no longer, sprump no longer the president. the current president says these documents should be released, isn't that it the end of the yaert. that's correct as a matter of law. that's the basis of her decision. she said she would be expedition and she brushed aside claims that there was kind of an injury that would justify the preliminary relief that the president wants. on the side of the house of represent

chief white house correspondent indicate hand collins is here. happy thanksgiving to you. . >> happy thanksgiving, john. >> the reward for all the hard work you do at the white house is that you get to work. >> of course. >> the family of ahmaud arbery feared it might never come. three white men convicted of murder. >> we, the jury, find the defendant, travis mcmichael, guilty. >> woo! >> you heard that word "guilty" from the judge 23 times. all three guilty of murdering an unarmed black jogger. they face the possibility of life in prison. >> and you heard emotions in the courtroom after the judge read the first guilty verdict. that was ahmaud arbery's father. the judge had him removed as he read the rest of the verdict. his mother was in tears as the verdict was read. she later thanked supporters outside the courthouse. >> i thank each and every one of you who fought this fight with us. it's been a long fight. it's been a hard fight. but god is good. for those who marched, those who prayed -- most of all, the ones who prayed. >> they were confid

the white house saying that 17 nobel prize-winning economists have said the bill will reduce inflation. house speaker nancy pelosi pointing out the treasury secretary janet yellen says the plan will boost the economy, which tends to push inflation down, not up. manchin says he needs more time to consider the social spending bill. but the house ways and means committee chair richard neal isn't buying that. watch. >> i don't know how you can make the argument of slowing down a piece of legislation that has been out there for more than 2 1/2 months from the ways and means committee. the argument that you don't know what's in the bill at this stage, i could give you verse and rhyme. >> if both bills pass the house it's going to be cards on the table for joe manchin. congresswoman cori bush on fire tonight saying joe manchin does not get to dictate the future of our country. joe manchin's opposition to the build back better act is anti-black, anti-child, anti-woman, and anti-immigrant. that is from representative cori bush. but while his party is still squabbling over his agenda that includ

how worried is this white house? >> reporter: well, look, the president is trying to reassure americans that they want to stay vigilant in the face of this potential new threat, but not to panic as we just heard from him just now. and yesterday when he spoke, he spoke after meeting with his medical officials, medical advisers, including dr. fauci being briefed. he said they are learning more and more about the variant every day, every hour, but there was still a lot that was unknown, including the transmissibility and the severity and, of course, that could take weeks for them to find out. but the president was really firm in saying that folks need to get their vaccines because it's only a matter of time until a case pops up in the u.s. he said they need to get their vaccines and get their boosters. and after he spoke, the cdc even updated their guidance saying that if you have had their vaccine before june 1st, it is now time for a booster. if you are 18 years plus. but the president was asked about the potential of

secretary, of a white house lawyer. and i'm reminded of the mueller investigation because during that time, according to mueller, the president said to don mcgahn, why are you taking notes? i hate lawyers who take notes. lawyers don't take notes. my lawyers never took notes. well, in fact, his lawyers did take notes, and those are the things that are going to be really revealing about the president's state of mind, what he was directing people to do at the time. >> he's amazing. someone like michael cohen may say, okay, i didn't take notes but i recorded it. professor tribe, if the judge rules against trump, this could be a pivotal moment. what is the authority of a former president? what is the authority of the house's right to investigate? what is the historic precedence that this ruling could have? >> it could make absolutely clear, as many of us have argued all along, that it is the current president who has to weigh the importance of confidentiality and advice to the president against public need to know. it is als

he start having democrat in to the white house, yes, to visit with him. again, this is part of the sales job that he thinks he's doing. he's telling them that really he won and they ought to consider that, and they ought to consider how they submit electors and how they go ahead and certifying the election in their states, but none of them went along with it at the end of the day. [ chant ] >> biden had 61,000 votes -- >> in michigan despite losing to joe biden by more than 154,000 votes, trump waged a fierce fight to keep the result from being certified. [ chants ] it might have worked if one of the two republicans on the state canvassing board had not resisted intense pressure and voted with the democrats to certify. >> we must not attempt to exercise power we simply don't have. >> after that act of courage, state republicans replaced him on the board. it was all part of a presidential push for legislators to disenfranchise their own constituents based on lies. there was no credible evidence of widespread fraud. perhaps the president's most shocking pus

, trump's daily schedule, white house visitor log, and call records. trump's lawyer justin clark arguing the requests are overly broad and failure to block them would open up the door for the partisanship of document requests and blowing a hole in executive privilege that should concern everybody. wh whoil the judge asked clark to dial down the rhetoric a bit she challenged lawyers on the house committee on the breadth of documents requested saying some of these requests seem very narrowly tailored but some are alarmingly broad. and there has to be some limit. the national archives says it intends to hand over the trump documents next friday unless the judge blocks them which she did not appear willing to do. this is such an historic case with implications for future presidents it is likely whatever decision the judge makes will be appealed. we also learned today that the committee has interviewed over 150 people so far in its investigation. >> thank you so much. let's talk to somebody who knows a little bit about executive privilege, john dean, white

first white house correspondent kaitlan collins joins me from edinburgh, scotland. this is a pivotal moment for joe biden on the world stage. it doesn't escape the notice of his counterparts that whatever biden is saying, he has still not been able to get democrats on board to actually pass legislation to accomplish his climate goals. >> yeah, jake, and the president seemed to get at that bluntly today in his remarks to the world leaders on the first day of this summit, acknowledging where the united states' standing on this issue has been over the last several years. a cleese reference to the policies of his predecessor. now on day one when he's trying to convince these other world leaders the united states is headed in the right direction we're seeing this key moderate senator, and senator joe manchin who has been at the center of these negotiations, potentially talk about delaying a timeline, of course, for advancing what the president says is a critical part of his agenda. president biden issuing an urgent call for action. >> we meet with the eyes of history upo

obviously, it was a tough transition going from being at the white house where they play "hail to the chief" when you walk in the room. so, he has tried to re-create it. >> and the -- the republicans -- the fact that they are all defending gosar. were you surprised that only two would censure him? >> well, i think that dana got -- as she often does -- at exactly what that was about and that's the fact that they were -- they were going to strip the committee assignments. and i would have loved to have seen a vote that didn't strip the committee assignments just to see how many -- how many republicans would refuse to actually simply condemn his words. because this was condemn, but also take away his committee assignments. it is striking that it's just liz cheney and adam kinzinger. just those that were willing to stand against the republican leadership and serve on the january 6th committee. >> but in all the reporting you did for the book, privately, do republicans on the hill -- i mean, do any of them express embarrassment, shame, concern about the future of the party? >> oh, yes. oh,

he was not a white house -- on the white house payroll at the time. it's going to ultimately -- mr. garland has -- has a big say here in terms of how this thing proceeds. >> yeah. some people have communicated through attorneys, haven't necessarily shown up yet and there is some question whether it's a delaying tactic but yes, there is communication. >> at least there is communication. >> right. >> there's, you know, the process -- the wheel, i think, is -- is moving forward. i hope. >> what do you -- the -- i want to ask you something separate but not entirely unrelated. you were one of 13 house republicans who voted for the bipartisan infrastructure bill. in the wake of that vote, you have been receiving, i understand, some disturbing phone calls. um, i want to play one that your office provided to us and i just want to play this for our viewers to give them a sense of what you are getting. >> [ bleep ] traitor. that's what you are. you're a [ bleep ] traitor. i hope you die. i hope everybody in your [ bleep ] family dies. you [ bleep ] piece of [ bleep ] trash mother [ bleep ]. v

let's go to john dean, former nixon white house counsel. john, it's really interesting what evan is laying out, right, their -- the argument that the trump lawyers are making about not handing over this information, right, is that congress will increasingly, inevitably, use this new weapon to perpetually harass its new rival. don't do it, because when the shoe is on the other foot, it will happen to you. right? it's the most compelling argument they can make, yet as everyone points out, this is extraordinary. does their argument have any grounds to hold up, do you think? >> evan is correct that they have reframed it by stomping their feet a little bit louder and verbally, if you will,inate brief. but it really is the same old brief they just lost on at the lower court. by a very well-reasoned opinion by a very good judge who had a lot of amicus brief to draw on as well and some very sophisticated lawyers being the friends of the court in this case. so, it is not a new brief and it's really not a new argument. trump's lawyers are just saying

but after trump left the white house, i made a decision i wanted to go back and do in-depth reporting and in-depth reporting takes time. >> it does take time. these books have still been coming out pretty quickly, all things considered. >> brian, i will say my friend steve insky at npr said many one of the problems with a lot of the books said not that they came out so late but they came out too early. it takes time. i would have loved another six months to work on this. my book came out after several of the others, and i know there are books to come. there's a lot of material here. >> there is. >> you put it out when it's ready. >> you conclude that the former president betrayed the country. how hard is that for an impartial, straightforward, fact reporter on abc every day, how hard is it to have to say and write and accept? >> it's really challenging. in our dna as reporters, i know at least in the way i look at it, my goal is not to take sides, to be -- to coin or borrow a phrase from an old network, fair and balanced, but our first obligation to our viewers, our readers, the peopl

. >> let's get straight to the white house and our senior white house correspondent mille mattingly. urgent talk and urgent tone does not guarantee actual votes. what do we know. >> reporter: in you listen to what the speaker saying it tracks with what white house officials are saying over the course of the last 24 hours, that while they won't take the blame for the loss in virginia and not necessarily attributable to the legislation that the loss happened at all, certainly they feel like all the loss does is give them more of a reason than any to push forward and push forward as quickly as possible. us a not, our colleagues daniellea diaz and manu raju said speaker pelosi in a private meeting said they may have votes as soon as tonight on the $1.75 climate and economic bill and infrastructure bill as soon as tomorrow morning. the key issue there is do they have the votes? publicly the speaker said she would let people who the votes are going to be, but reality is nothing matters or moves forward until you have actually whipped the votes. one thing everyone is keeping an eye on is mo

trump had sued to keep the white house records secret. but at least by this judge was denied. here's the chairman of the compete investigating insur insurrection. >> here's the teal. if you take your issue to court and lose, then you need to man up and deal with it and not be a spoiled brat. >> turning over records by this friday, trump's lawyers immediately said they would appeal this decision. this massive legal blow coming as the january 6th committee issued 10 new subpoenas targeting former trump administration officials, including senior adviser stephen miller and kayleigh mcenany. all eyes are all attorney general merrick garland. >> joining me now, cnn senior legal analyst, elie honig. this federal judge gave a sweeping decision on trump's claim of executive privilege. >> this is really a big deal. this is a monumental, constitutional decision. and the judge gave a big win, at least for now, to the january 6th committee, a big setback to donald trump. the judge systematically took apart donald trump's arguments. first of all, executive privilege. the judge put it very b

at white house meetings, i came equipped with a yellow pad. he brought a laser pointer and an array of multi-colored slides. i wore a pin. he wore a lot of medals. i was a mere mortal female civilian in the wake of operation desert storm. he was the hero of the western world. on policy the general and i didn't always reach the same conclusions, and in fact he would later recount that one of my comments almost gave him an aneurysm. although we were the same age he and i were shaped by different experiences and had different ideas and represented different departments, but over the past quarter century we also became very close friends, an experience i know that i have in common with many of you. the reason is that beneath that glossy exterior of warrior statesman was one of the gentlest and most decent people any of us will ever meet. as i grew to know him, i came to view colin powell as a figure who almost transcended time for his virtues were homeric, honesty, dignity and loyalty and an unshakeable commitment to his calling and word. these we

kaitlan collins is out front live at the white house tonight. i want to start, though, with manu raju, who is on capitol hill with all these breaks developments and, manu, this story is literally changing by the minute. both bills going to be voted on. then, all the sudden, jayapal is hard no. where do things stand now? >> yeah, after a standoff earlier today with moderates who are hold ug up that larger $1.9 trillion bill, now there is a standoff with the progressives who are holding up that separate $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. but the pressure is on. the president and the speaker are trying to urge the progressives not to hold up that bipartisan infrastructure bill. and vote yes, send it to his desk tonight. now, we are learning that joe biden has called into a meeting with the progressive caucus and put his -- he was on speaker phone. urging them to get behind this. now, i also was told that biden spoke directly with pramila jayapal, the leader of the congressional progressive caucus but she will continue to vote no and at that same me

jeff zeleny is outfront live outside the white house. so, jeff, you know, i saw your questioning there of the press secretary, jen psaki. why did the president make this announcement today? does he truly believe that it will work in any meaning wafl? >> erin, the white house has been talk about this as you said really for a few weeks but the announcement was done today we are told because it was that coordination with five other countries trying to make a global announcement. shining a global light on this. and no coincidence, it's also right before the thanksgiving holiday. so the white house is definitely trying to show americans that they are on this problem. now, gas prices are not something that the president alone controls. of course. but they are a president's headache, regardless of which president is in office. and for president biden now, this is a central headache. with inflation certainly worrying this white house more than anything else we have really seen but the timing today was done to get this started. and energy secreta

house and some early congressional budget office analysis. we were going to receive, we were expecting to receive more in the next seven to ten days, we expect it to match up as presented and move forward. that is what i believe will happen, and you know, again, i think we all agree that the reconciliation package, the build back better legislation is critically important for our districts, districts like mine, so my expectation will be that we will be moving forward and we celebrate, action, which is really important for the country. they want to see us moving forward and fighting for them. that's what i expect will happen. >> let me ask you the flip side of that and directly, do you need the congressional budget office to say that the bill is paid for, in order to vote yes? >> what we're looking for are cbo tables, which score sections of the bill, which we will be receiving, and we already have some data, so we expect the information we received to be in line with what we received from the treasury department, and at that point i'm sure we

the white house pointed out how much vaccine the u.s. has sent to other nations. to africa alone they sent 93 million doses of vaccine. they have over 1 billion people in africa. what are you hearing from officials? is there a level of frustration when it comes to vaccine access there as they're dealing with this new variant? >> reporter: there's a great deal of frustration. the u.s. has been a leading nation in terms of donating excess doses and trying to get access to vaccines across the continent. other nations have been less generous. overall it's not necessarily a drop in the bucket, but it's not nearly enough in terms of vaccine availability and vaccine access. i want to touch on one brief thing that was mentioned in terms of the flights continuing to go to the u.s. this travel ban to the u.s. is a very leaky ban. just from a personal experience, if you have any kind of connection to the u.s., either a citizen or permanent resident or spouse of a citizen or child of a citizen, you can fly back to the u.s. in the middle of some of the worst pandemic stages. i

the party that holds the house, holds the senate, holds the white house, apparently unable to get out of its own way and you are seeing the results at the ballot box. a republican sweep in virginia. governor -- the governor there -- lieutenant governor and the attorney general. and a down-to-the-wire battle for every last vote in new jersey. but the signs were all there, as i was saying to chris. the signs of a meltdown. covid anger. democratic infighting and ineptitude. misunderstanding of what suburban voters really care about, like education. the lesson democrats should take from this election? voters are speaking loud and clear. people don't care about the back and forth on capitol hill. they don't really care that much about the sausage making of the they want to see things done. they care about the sluggish economy. they care about high gas prices. they care about expensive groceries, about crime, about the supply chain, concerns about rights of parents, what they have to say about their kids, what their kids are being taught in schools. whether you believe it or not, but that's

former white house chief of staff mark meadows for one. earlier today, he defied an ultimatum to appear. later today after bannon's indictment, the committee threatened him with the same. it would be tempting to say this may now be a different ball game, but of course it's not a game at all. as a reminder, there was new audio that came to light today of the former president. he is talking to abc's jonathan karl, defending the capitol mob who chanted "hang mike pence." here is the former president talking about his vice president who, as a reminder, was rushed by the secret service out of the house chamber when the mob attacked. >> were you worried about him during that -- that siege? were you worried about his safety? >> no, i thought he was well protected and i -- i had heard that he was in good shape. no. because i had heard he was in very good shape. but -- but -- >> you heard those chants. that was terrible. i mean, you know, the -- >> he could have -- well, the people were very angry. >> they said hang mike pence. >> because it's comm

has people thinking what's going on in the biden white house? john avlon with a "reality check." >> for the administration sometimes seen as boring it has been a roller coaster ten days for president biden. begin with the g20, recommitting america to the fight against climate change and world leaders backed by the call for global corporate minimum tax, a big deal. then in tuesday's elections, democrats lose vrngirginia for first time since 2009 and narrowly holding on to the new jersey governorship. before the polls close the dow jones industrial average closed above 36,000 for the first time. the same week the children over the age of 5 began receiving the vaccine. on friday morning a jobs report showing the economy roaring back with 531,000 new jobs in october bringing the unemployment rate to its lowest level since the pandemic began, and late friday night, after umpteenth failed infrastructure weeks congress finally passed biden's signature $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill. the most ambitious investments since the eisenhower admi

a festival in the theme of red, white, and blue. the huge cheerful crowd that waited so long and patiently. i was the main anchor for the bbc coverage for the wedding. one of our cameras were outside the house as you can see behind me there. that means we'll get the first glimpse of the best kept secret of the wedding, the wedding dress. went upstairs and all the bridesmaids were there, diana was there. it was such a wonderful atmo atmosphere. everybody was smiling and happy. it's kind of surreal in a way because you could hear the people outside and the crowds. >> everybody was waiting for the famous carriage coming with diana and her father, el spencer. and you hear the clip clapper, the carriage rolls up. >> her father was quite a big man. there was a lot of diana and the dress and her father in the tiny charge. carriage. a bit of a challenge to get her in there. >> the world gets a first full glimpse of the fairy tale princess. i remember hearing to the camera man to get the shot she came out of the carriage. >> going tight, goi

jasmine wright is live for us at the white house. the president held a strategy session with his cabinet. how is he planning to fix this? >> that's right, fred. inflation concerns continue to dog this white house into the weekend as americans are paying more for everyday goods and frankly they're not happy about it, and that unhappiness led to a messaging shift from the white house, instead of using terms like transitory or temporary they first used a few months ago, you are hearing everyone from the president to vice president to officials publicly and privately saying this is a big deal and that it is a top priority for the administration. no matter those messaging shifts or measures put in place to try to break apart the log jam of the supply chain, really officials have been starting to say look, it may extend, inflation prices may extend well into the next year, no doubt adding pressure to families as we head into the holidays when they continue to grocery shop, fill gas tanks and start present buying process. friday as you said

state department and including the white house. a lot of people don't understand you can't just board a flight and leave afghanistan. there are multiple networks you have to pass through. one is the taliban, state department, and then where is going to be your final destination. so it makes it very, very difficult. another piece to think about is these girls that we talk about, they can't leave their homes right now for fear of retribution by attending the american university of afghanistan, which is now occupied by the haqqani network. jim, just to kind of paint the picture, the 5,000-square-foot former women's economic empowerment center used to serve as a safe haven for girls to gather and study. it's now the haqani's network main operation center. so the irony in all of this -- >> a terrorist organization. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> absolutely. a terrorist organization. the same haqqani network that launched the attack at the university in 2016, killing 15 faculty and students, that is who is now inhabiting it. >> yeah. kelly, we kno

jeff zeleny is outside the white house this morning. jeff, the president is waiting a few days to sign the infrastructure bill that passed congress the end of last week. what event is he waiting for? >> reporter: he's waiting simply for senators and representatives to come back to washington. congress is on their recess this week, which means the vast majority of this bipartisan group has left town. the president, of course, spent the majority of his time in the senate, wants there to be a big event here at the white house. he wants to shine a light on the fact that 19 republicans in the senate and 13 republicans in the house joined virtually all democrats to vote for this bill. the white house wants to give a little attention to this. the reason why is his approval rating, he knows the american people are not necessarily understanding everything that is in this bill. the white house believes that by biden beginning to explain it, they can begin to make the case. you can see the approval ratings right there. look at the strongly disappr

>> well, jake, it's certainly unfortunate timing for the white house. that's precisely the argument the president is trying to make here today. he was apologizing for steps that president trump took at the time he was in office when it came to withdrawing the u.s. from the paris climate accords and he was trying to make the argument the sus back at the table. they are going to lead when it comes to climate change. now they've gotten this statement from senator manchin saying, he's not ready yet to fully support president biden's agenda here. and the white house responded pretty quickly with jen psaki putting out a statement saying that senator manchin says he's prepared to support a plan that combats inflation, is fiscally responsible and will create jobs. 17 nobel prize-winning economists say this plan will reduce inflation and, jake, they say as a result we remain confident the plan will gain senator manchin's support. of course, the key phrase there is will gain. that means the white house realizes senator manchin has not yet expressed his support be

the white house said dr. fauci told the president that it would take two weeks to have more definitive information on the transmissibility, severity and other characteristics of the variant. in lieu of that information, laura, the best thing dr. fauci said is for americans to double down on getting those vaccines. we heard from the doctor say those same things. get the initial vaccines and get the boosters if they are eligible because that is a way officials see americans getting out of this pandemic, no matter what the variant may be. it is true that right now the white house is staring down this messaging challenge as they really try to project severity of the issue but also try to project reassuring americans that they are able to take care of them so we will see. the president today really showing up for that messaging challenge trying to convey all of those things, trying to show americans that his administration is ready. laura? >> it's a delicate balance. clearly the history of delta looms large for th

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 amendment routinely -- ronald reagan in 1985, for example, when we had intestinal surgery, signed over power for a few hours to his vice p

this from the man who ran it out of white house and was impeached twice. but i'll tell you this, i think that that argument is a very careful deflection. they would like to turn it into an assault on the committee because it is not the commit tee decision to release these records, it is the current president's decision to release the records. so i find it hard to believe that the courts will s s will their own judgment. >> and a federal appeals court will hear oral arguments on this case next week. what do you think that they will look at? >> i think that you will see if the questioning from the hearing a few days ago is any indicator, i think that you will see, you nknow concerns along the same line that you heard from the judge at the district court level, which is basically acknowledging that executive privilege is an outgrowth of executive power and something that the current president decides when and how to use for the benefit of the public. it is not meant to protect the president's political, you know, interests or his personal interests. and it is

what can the white house do? they can cut trump tariffs on chinese imports. they can cut steel and aluminum. they can tap the petroleum reserve that. will be temporary relief for gas prices and they can cut regulations, for example, to fix the trucker shortage and port backlogs. they feel like they are making progress on that front. the throughput is getting goods from the ships into the rail system and transport system in the u.s. here's janet yellen. >> the pandemic has been calling the shots for the economy for inflation and if we want to get inflation down, i think continuing to make progress against the pandemic is the most important thing we can do. >> many economists say the blame for the inflation is covid. you know, the economy was depressed and shut down and roared back to life. the economy is strong. it's the down side of the economy. for senior citizens there will be a 6% increase for cost of living. that's important. and a reminder that many working families and families are getting up to $300 a month per child in those expanded tax credits. so,

the biden white house has been battered by high gas prices. so i think they're feeling like a little bit of tide turning in their direction right now. >> this goes to the senate next where it could hit all kinds of roadblocks. senator joe manchin signaling he's not onboard with how it is now. what is president biden doing to ensure the bill gets through in a way that everybody is satisfied here? because he's utgot to deal with the progressives in his party, and he's got to deal with joe manchin as well. >> don, he's done a lot already, intensive diplomacy with both kyrsten sinema of arizona, joe manchin of west virginia. and i think the obstacles to enactment of this bill are not as great as they're sometimes described. most of this bill has been agreed to already. there are going to be changes in the senate. it is likely that manchin will insist on, for example, the paid leave provisions coming out of this bill. but in a very substantial form resembling what passed the house today, i think it's highly likely that passes the senate. both democ
