house as it continues to . >> tucker: shannon bream, thank you so much, great to see you tonight. so the issue that is affected every american will affect politics and a big way. the scarcity, why can't you buy things you could buy last year? part of the answer is supply chain. the supply chain, what does that mean exactly? mike taylor is one of the few people that does know what it means. and complaint energy services and we are happy to have him on tonight. mike, thank you for coming on. when we hear the supply chains are falling apart, what does that mean and how long until it is fixed? >> well, tucker, i don't think we know the answer when it will be fixed but in our world we propane gas, welding supplies, and we have one heck of a time getting materials. i keep hoping it would get better. up at the shortage continuing and the prices and all the commodities we buy or going up drastically. right now i have six, brand-new trucks on order. they were months and months behind. i have to constantly replace my fleet. we don't know when they are coming in appeared in the meantime, get

people who worked with bannon in the white house and outside of the white house told me after all this went down that he couldn't be happier. all he wants is attention. they call him a gadfly. so yeah, if attention -- if he gets attention going to jail, that's fine with him. >> yeah. it's probably true. look, i mean, trump called him sloppy steve and within six months he's back trying to do trump's bidding. by the way, that is something that i don't understand about any of this dynamic. how he can unleash on people and yet, they still kind of come crawling back. but with steve bannon yeah, he wants the attention. it's the death of shame. there's no shame in it. he doesn't care if he has a criminal record. he cares if people listen to his podcast. that's what matters to him. podcasts and do i get followers on whatever he is using. so look, but it sent a very serious message, i think, to anybody else that is jeffrey clark, et cetera, thinking of denying the january 6th committee's legitimate ability to get to the bottom of what the american people deserve to know. and i think regardless,

the state has not along's tree of flipping against the party that controls the white house in congress. in comment, president george w. bush, won virginia by eight points, only for democrats tim kaine to win the gubernatorial race by five points. what was seen in the national committee comey to, -- and the disastrous handling of hurricane christina. the most visceral backlash came into thousand, i'd that's after democrats claim thousand 2008 elections including barack obama winning virginia by six points. which stunned a whole lot of observers. and then just a year later, following, year bob mcdonald went on to become governor of virginia defeating his opponent by a whopping 17 points. that's a 23 point swinging points in just one year. and to put it mildly, this was seen as very bad news for democrats. just listen to how nbc opened its nightly news broadcast the day after the election. >> good evening, a year ago, we were talking about a sea change in american politics. tonight we are reporting a small change which could also be anonymous development for the year old obama administrat

two weeks ago, the pentagon, the white house, d.h.s., and the director of national intelligence all echoed this concern that “the climate crisis is reshaping our world”... and that these migrations could trigger “... political instability and conflict.” providing aid to these vulnerable nations will be another main topic in glasgow. the world's major polluters have failed to fully deliver a promised $100 billion yearly fund to help these countries adapt and survive in a warming world. >> build back better. blah, blah, blah. green economy. blah blah blah. net zero by 2050. blah, blah, blah. >> brangham: in the lead-up to glasgow, the global climate movement has continued to press for action, including swedish teenager greta thunberg, who's been excoriating world leaders for unkept promises. >> this is all we hear from our so-called leaders: words. words that sound great but so far have led to no action. >> we have to get strong commitments to reduce emissions by 2030. >> brangham: as negotiators in glasgow hope to forge the safest possible future, those on the front lines continue t

rachel: peter doocy joins us live outside the white house with more. peter? pete: good morning. what i remember about that first job. the first paycheck, you get it and you look, a lot of it was missing because of tasks. and so that is the tie-in. yes. that is the tie-in here. because the president's whole thing is he wants to raise taxes on people in -- who work on wall street and don't live in scranton. he says he would never raise taxes on anybody making less than $400,000 a year. there is new data to suggest that his plans are not the way to do that. it is from the nonpartisan tax polling center. they analyzed the build back better plan and they found it would raise taxes 20% to 30% on the middle class in 2022 alone, which means that the president's repeated promises may have been off base. many. >> the cost of the build back better bill in terms of adding to the deficit is zero. best of all terms of adding to the deficit is zero, zero. zero. >> it is zero price tag on the debt. it's all paid for. it's all paid for. peter: add that to real inflation concerns fuel up 50% last

tonight the biden white house is imploding. the blame game and the finger pointing is in full gear after a disastrous 10 months in office. joe and kamala harris are turning on each other. it's very ugly. we will bring you the latest in fighting out of the biden white house. plus the low lights from another awkward and embarrassing day for the cognitively struggling president and his incompetent environment. -- vice-president. but first

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

we begin with white house correspondent jacqui heinrich. good evening, jacqui. >> good evening to you, mike. >> president biden touted the hard infrastructure bill as a coming solution to the supply chain crisis. he says he will sign it into law in a bipartisan ceremony on monday. but new data from the labor department is challenging his timeline and suggesting sticker shock won't be going away any time soon. >> i came here to talk about one of the most pressing economic concerns of the american people and it's real. and that is getting prices down, number one. number two, making sure our stores are fully stocked, and, number three, getting a lot of people back to work. >> president biden projecting confidence he can supply chain crisis under control. touting investments in his hard infrastructure bill congress passed last week and agreement to get ports moving. >> announcing steps to improve ports in the east coast to provide support for the port of savanna, fourth largest container port in the country to help reduce congestion. >> new inf

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

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

as the former president himself tries to shield his white house records so they won't be handed over to the investigation into the january 6th attack, today we got word there is a heavy hitting new addition to the legal team representing the committee that's carrying out that investigation. mary mccord is the former chief of the national security division at the u.s. justice department. as trump mounts this fight with the investigation to try to stop his white house records from being handed over to them, mary mccord has just joined the legal team for the investigation, for the january 6th investigating committee. and i don't know how the former president feels about that but i would not want to be on the other side of her in a case like this. they're still going for it, though. today in wisconsin, a pro-trump sheriff called for the arrest and for criminal charges to be filed against the whole state election board in wisconsin because they passed rules to help people vote in nursing homes during the pandemic. that's become the new fantasy in wisconsin of how the election must have be

it had gone past the party in power in the white house out of 12 times 11 things. mcauliffe is the one thing. that's because what tends to happen, and you see it in the midterms, in the new deal with fdr. right? that the party in power faces a backlash. and that is one of the -- it's almost like gravity. right? there's lots of things that can be done in individual races above and beyond that. but the thing that's pulling on all of these atoms as they circle around is that. >> in addition to the top of the ticket races in new jersey and virginia one thing to watch in virginia tonight, i mentioned this a couple of times, i want to sort of bring this home, is that every single seat in virginia's house of delegates is up for election tonight. there's 100 seats in virginia's house of delegates. they're all up tonight. before today democrats had a majority. 55. republicans had 45 of those seats. that means republicans need to take six of those seats tonight back to regain the majority. that should be noted the same number that democrats flipped their way just two years a

then they worked with the white house. instead of the white house saying i'm sorry, you can't influence us and we can't interfear with you. >> jesse: they had their paws on it. >> instead they colluded with the white house. found collusion with the white house. and they said, you know, we need specific examples. they didn't say shut this down. don't target parents as quote domestic terrorists they said give us specific examples. they came back with that the majority do not constitute criminal activity at all. >> jesse: only one actual hard core threat in that whole letter. >> sure. and law enforcement can take care of that weaponizing the fbi is crazy. now merrick garland testified to congress on october 21st. he made it seem this would never happen. parents would never -- domestic. >> jesse: looks like he lied to congress. >> lied to congress they since apologized. the left wing group apology devised on behalf of the doj. we haven't heard from the doj yet. the maker garland the chief law enforcement officer he has got to

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,

to edward lawrence whose live at the white house, waiting as the drips of the headlines come out of the meeting. reporter: in fact, the president canceled his comments about this meeting because he wanted to spend more time with the ceo 's and they're still continuing. most of those ceo's are here in- person, we have a list of the number of companies here look at this list, ceo of best buy, samsung, mattel, etsy, kroger and in the meeting the president of food lion says that their supply chain has been robust. >> we started with an immense amount of planning to be ready for the business and for customers to be able to buy what they need at our stores and we worked very early with our vendor partners to get clear on our forecast for the business. reporter: she said they worked hard with their vendors to plan ahead and get clear forecasts. now, it has taken time to get the bipartisan infrastructure money out and working. that'll likely be next year sometime. the president, though, still trying to say he can grow the economy. >> early estimates are that black friday sales were up nearly a

we're waiting to hear back from the white house. the very first announcement about this day just said the first family will stay at the home of their dear friend david rubinstein as they have done previously. it is his 45th year on nantucket. it started when joe and jill first got together and decided to come to nantucket as a way to avoiding competing family holiday invitations. it is full of biden stories from years past details of where the first family will get their dinner tonight. fairgrounds cooking for joe, jill and kids for 20 years. critics are quick to slam biden for what is seen as a lavish trip amid soaring inflation and crippling gas prices. >> he will be eating lobster and living it up high on the hog. the rest of us will be paying more for everything that jim just said. they have to continue to enforce these policies that are going to cause inflation to keep growing. everything from screwed up supply chain to they've killed the energy sector. >> today the president and first lady are not visiting the troops that we k

this was manufactured to propel joe biden into the white house. and tear down the white house supremacy in this country, whatever that means. but, like they have done in the past with other cases similar to this raced-based shootings, this is not going to propel that agenda forward. the american people saw this trial. they saw it live. they saw the videos. they heard of the witness testimony. they heard from the actual defendant. and they saw how the media was misinforming them in realtime. almost live for the first time sensing the misinformation flowing over their face. and the jury made the right call. and i don't see how this galvanizes the left wing agenda at all. i think it really sets it back very far. >> no, you are absolutely right. this was jesse jussie smollett on steroids. people are getting tired. they are sick of it. after the virginia elections and this popular backlash against the woke, people have had enough. i think that the left has no idea of the anger they have unleashed and people are sick of it because this was such a farce.

the white house now is backing off. it first said to all government contractors if your workers are not vaccinated no job for them and no testing for them either as a option. white house reportedly saying up to government contractors how you deal with your workers who don't want to get vaccinated. sounds like the white house is afraid of companies dropping their government contracts here, what do you say? >> yeah, i urged the white house and president biden to put a pause on this mandate because they're seeing the effects and we talked about red flags popping up all over and the worst is yet to come. it was interesting, you said the natural immunity might only last 16 months. where did the number come from? this started 16 months ago, we haven't had 30 months, or five years whether the immunity doesn't last. we know the vaccine immunity doesn't last. study out "wall street journal" forbes, picked up, studies say vaccines are better than natural immunity. they used a study of people vaccinated three to six months. it wan

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

they would invite larry summers to the white house to give the cabinet and senior staff a tutorial in basic economics. last week the "new york times" described the build back better as filled with budget gimmicks and the price tag is closer to 4 trillion dollars. it's simple. printing and borrowing money and flooding the economy with it will guarantee that inflation only gets worse. biden's team don't care. they are not interested in solving problems. to them it's always about controlling the narrative. in the hill today quoted a democratic donor telling the white house to get if front of the issue and don't let republicans run this narrative and the white house launched a media blitz to stem the political bleeding but again get it wrong. biden and his team don't have a political problem. they don't have a narrative problem. they have a substantative problem. their policy are not working -- people are incapable of predicting how the u.s. works. the voters, they seem to understand. because they live in the real world that rick mentioned earlier in the "angle." they have to pay actual b

they want to lose more house in the house and senate and more in the and perhaps the white house in 2024. we have to work together. big programs have already gone to the wayside. one of which senator sanders will not let go of you have 15 democrats very vulnerable in the promised lower drug prices and something manchin doesn't like and sanders requires and he definitely heads the progressive caucus. >> bret: mark, the president is facing pretty bad poll numbers in recent days. you look at nbc poll his approval stands at 42% approval. disapprove 54%. on the eternals of that poll all kinds of questions where republicans are really up. if the marist poll election confidence better chance of winning 2024, biden at 36%. someone someone else at 44%. here's the president talking about polls this weekend. >> polls have going to up and up and down. look at overrer president. same thing happened. >> that's why i ran. i didn't run to determine how well i'm going to do in the polls. i said that i would make sure that we were in a position where we dealt with climate change, where we moved in a direc

>> reporter:ss lyndsey, you'll e the white house really try to turn the narrator around. you show the president's job approval rating ticking down to 41%. in this poll, seven in ten americans say the president hasn't accomplished much in his first year in heoffice. thet president tomorrow will b really checking off two major campaign pledging delivered on. one is ade bipartisan piece of legislation. remember how much he promised to tryh to bring the country together to work with republicans. there will be republicans and democrats on the south lawn tomorrow for the signing ceremony. the other is, finally, as he's putting it, infrastructure week. he promised a big economic agenda to try to pass in the congress. as president, he's getting one piece of that tomorrow and will be hitting the road as well to try to highlight some of the specific pieces. tuesday, he'll be going to new hampshire to talk about bridge work thatir will be done there a bridge that's been rated as substandard in new hampshire. wednesday, he'll be going to a gm vehicle plant in michigan, talking about

the white house has put out a fact sheet showing the benefits to your state of wyoming. i want to show it to our audience right now. they say $1.8 billion for highways, $225 million for bridge replacement and repairs. $100 million for broadband. $335 million for water infrastructure, and $72 million for airports. why did you vote against a bill that provides so many benefits to your state? >> well, you know, i was one of the original negotiators at the white house with president biden, and ultimately i voted against it because they did use a lot of budget gimmicks and they are adding $256 billion to the debt, and some of the issues in there in terms of energy i think is going to make energy even more expensive, and i think it's going to make the grid less reliable. then of course, the big thing is they handcuffed this infrastructure bill to this big, massive tax and spending bill which every republican is united in our efforts to drive a stake through the heart of this effort which the democrats are pushing because they are so addicted to taxing and spending. >> finally,

he was that guy they sent over from the white house to try to negotiate a final deal. if you want to know who runs the place behind the scenes for joe biden it is susan rice and brian dietz he is deeply tied into blackrock. this is not a coincidence. steve: they are all like that. we talk many times about steve but that is a brilliant they are all connected and the china thing is so pervasive because steve originally did the ideal back in the clinton era to get china into the beauty of. it really monster them, this china thing. >> brian dietz ways in charge of global sustainability project he is helping in china now running the white house you can tell me that brian doesn't have a father for place i will go get employed i have in the past enable make me rich. it's all about china. and that needs to be exposed. they don't get confirmed by the senate. steve: the other connection as i mentioned earlier is that corporate america for their climate step at the same type of nonsense brian dietz was part of somali have you looking ahead to tuesday a big election in virginia wh

>> the race to the white house has not been called for pennsylvania. >> confusing pennsylvania is going to be. >> president trump is still leading in that state by about 1-08 thousand votes. >> it wasn't a clear winner. it left everybody worried and stressed. >> philadelphia became ground zero. the convention center where the votes were being counted, crowds were gathering outside. trump supporters outside. biden supporters. they were facing off across the street. >> people dressing up as the constitution, as mailboxes, holding signs saying we the people. progressive, the slight conservative america in one place literally these two streets outside the philly convention center. trump's legal team turn up at the philly convention center. pam goes to address the count and the count every vote protest across the street turn up the music really, really loud. ♪♪ so you cannot hear a word that pam says because it's completely overwhelmed by the sounds of beyonce. >> everybody was fighting at each other. every post and tweet and instagram you saw, people were arguing and it just was very un

this is a quick action taken from the white house. this comes after the u.k. and several countries restricted travel from south africa and neighboring nations. dr. fauci said that the u.s. was speaking to south africa to see if the travel restrictions were necessary. they said they examined how quickly the variant is spreading and how it could evade protections from vaccines. we're not told what kind of information they received. but actions indicate the feedback that they got was worthy of taking this step. dr. fauci said there's no indication that the new variant is already in the u.s. listen. >> you know, of course, anything is possible. we don't know that. there's no indication that it is right now. it seemed to have restricted. there were some cases that originated in south africa and went to botswana. people traveled and found out they were infections. there's a lot of travel. >> now, according to reports, the new variant has an unusual constellation of mutations. on the proteins that helps the virus create an entry point, the new variant has ten mutatio

the white house hasn't shown that maturity. they haven't walked anything back. they pointed out that he was in a picture with a member of the proud boys. instead of calling him a white supremacist. >> kyle is more mature than anyone who runs this country that includes joe biden. it's hard for us to accept it because we don't like him but we at least think is going to be people interested in helping the country. we have a bunch of children who run the country. joe biden is a child. these people, they have the emotional maturity of an 8-year-old. in the u.s. politician, especially one with the huge national stage, to call someone who wasn't even on trolley at a white supremacist. like tucker pointed out, that's a big deal. it's not a good thing to be a white premises. if you're going to let me that charging and but you better be sure of it but it shows the idiots we have will run this country and that's so scary. our government is as reliable as mexican tapwater. >> brian: he called out the fbi, his former attorneys who sold him down the river. he has not been tre

resignations in any white house are a thing, they are most definitely a thing in the trump white house which went through multiple communications directors. it would be a great trivia question. the mooch lasted about as long as this segment. anthony scaramucci. what do you have to do? he barely speaks to the press, doesn't do one on one interviews, for months we haven't seen a president take real questions at a solo press conference. so that's what we're dealing with at this point. so why resign when basically your job is to tell the president to run away from reporters as quickly as possible because he doesn't really want to talk to them nor do they want him to talk to the press at this point because there's a lot of things he can't simply defend on his own without a teleprompter. carley: unless they were pushed out because the administration is blaming them. you never know. there is speculation that pete buttigieg could maybe replace vice president kamala harris because her poll numbers are so low. he was asked about that very thing yesterday. take a listen to his reaction. watch thi

the white house has repeatedly made clear they would like to. they think he is not the man for the job. but the way it's structured, it's not the president who appoints that person. it's the post office board of governors who hires and fires. the president puts people on the board of governors but he can't directly do what they do. today, on top of everything else that happened today in the news, today in a surprise move, president biden made the changes to the postal board that apparently are finally going to clear the way to getting rid of that guy. "the washington post" broke the news this afternoon, explaining it in i think the clearest terms. they said, quote, president biden on friday, today, announced plans to nominate two new officials to the u.s. postal service's governing board replacing key allies of louis dejoy. the move was a surprise to postal officials and even to members of congress according to three people with knowledge of the matter. the move casts doubt on louis dejoy's future at the postal service and potentially gives the
