is more friendly so we can cooperate, so we don't agree will just cooperate on issues where we have a shared interest, if you are doing what we're doing in taiwan and hong kong and trading everything else. that is its current position, and so we should try to change that and we should engage them in the hope of changing their minds, and it might change next year after the 20th party of congress but we also need to be ready that if they don't change their mind, that we can tackle these shared problems without their full anticipation in cooperative endeavors. i'm not saying we shouldn't try. i'm saying we should try but we also need to be ready that if the future and is what the current answer is. >> you chronicle very well in your book how u.s.-china relations under trump nosedived really significant after trump realizes this pandemic isn't a hoax, that it really is going to necessitate a a shutdown, unle down in the u.s. and, therefore, his reelection hopes are in jeopardy. at that point onwards the china hawks basically who had been argued but not always winning in the white house,

so we are happy with the cooperation. on the other hand, what i see is that the western european countries make much bigger deals with china than we do. so whenever western european leaders meet the chinese leadership, there are always contracts to an extent of pencils. billions of euros are dollars are being signed. so please do not portray us as if we were the only ones who wants to be the good cooperation, be china. oil, iraq, and most of the european countries do it, especially the big western european ones. now and on the statement. you know, i think europe in union should not make itself ridiculous. but you make yourself ridiculous when you pass resolutions on the same issue in a very unsuccessful manner. so we have baz 8th 8 resolutions on china in the recent one or 2 years, always with the same result which was 0. so my question was that isn't really the foreign policy of european union that novel issue, the 9 statement on the same issue without any kind of, without any kind of outcome. so i said let's, let's be m

it is very beneficial for us to have good cooperation with china. we could increase our trade, our export by 50 percent during the 1st half of the year last year, china brought the most investments to hungary representing high technological standards on the high rate of added value. so we are happy with the co operation. on the other hand, while i see that the western european countries make much bigger deals with china than we do. so whenever western european leaders meet the chinese leadership, there are always contracts to an extent of pencils, billions of euros are dollars being signed. so please do not portray us as if we were the only ones who wants to be of the good cooperation, be china, oil rock, and most of the ro can countries do it, especially the big western european ones. now on, on the statement, you know, i think europe in union should not make itself ridiculous, but you make yourself ridiculous when you pass resolutions on the same issue in a very unsuccessful manner. so we have baz 8th 8 resolutions on china in the recent one or 2

they don't believe that the lack of cooperation is a problem. they created this narrative for domestic consumption that there's a conspiracy against them and they have seen this opportunity that they believe the west-- i just don't think we see that she don't see as far as we can tell it's been reported dialogue, we don't see this consideration that it was a huge error or a major mistake and that in the same way you do here, so you know i would hope they would have a period of reflection on how to handle the pandemic but i think it's more likely for domestic audience that they cross this line that they handled it very well and we are over 650,000 dead now in the united states and more or about the same in europe. >> we only have a few minutes left, so let me go to a question of my own which is what your prediction is for this pandemic? by when do you think-- it sort of a two-part question, when do you think it will be basically over and become endemic and cease to be a pandemic. also, short time to answer a big question but what are the longer-t

their cooperation. and they are clear they are going to do whatever they can to get cooperation out of these witnesses and that includes criminal contempt if it should come to that. the statement reads, quote, we will not allow any witness to defy a lawful subpoena or attempt to run out the clock and we will swiftly consider advancing a criminal contempt of congress referral. and the running out the clock part is a very important part of this equation. because to evans point, there isn't a lot of legal precedent for the arguments in a court of law and it is to benefit of the former president donald trump and his associates to throw as many legal barriers in the way even if their ultimately going to be unsuccessful because the select committee doesn't have enough time to adjudicate all of these matters and come to a swift conclusion ahead of the midterm elections next year. so their time frame is short. so the trump team could run out the clock as long as possible. and one other note i'll make, in the st

bannon is in his refusal to cooperate with the select committee. we have reached out to dozens of witnesses. we are taking in thousands of pages of records, conducting interviews on a study basis. this is a serious, focused investigation. it is not flashy and gets results. it is essential we get mr. bannon's factual and complete testimony to get a full a ccounting of the violence of january 6 and its causes. he stands alone in his complete defiance of our subpoena. it is not acceptable. no one in this country, no matter how wealthy or powerful, is above the law. it left unaddressed, this may encourage others to follow mr. bannon done that same path. for full swatting at home, i want you to think about something. what would happen to you if you did what mr. bannon is doing. what would happen if you refused to show up? would you be able to just go about your business? we all know the answer. there is in a different set of rules for him and he knows this. he knows our consequences and he has chosen the path toward criminal contempt by taking this posi

>> clear indication that they are now formally cooperating with law enforcement. clearly at the time, at the very early onset, there was an assumption by law enforcement and that the parents assisted or hindered with respect to the ongoing investigation. i think once the evidence was established that they could potentially charge the mom or dad or together with respect to hindering an investigation, they now put the full-court press on the mom and dad through their lawyer. i think they realized their exposure, and they finally realized they need to come onboard and cooperate fully. so now you have mom and dad fully cooperating and trying to assist them in the apprehension of their son. >> mark, i want you to weigh in on this. does the new cooperation from the laundries indicate that they may have struck some kind of a deal? what could that entail? what do you see here? >> well, just going out for a search does not suggest they've given all the information. did he get any getting out of town money, opening up bank accounts and whatever phone records they had. there

>> yeah, he says he's responding, but we don't know how much he's cooperating. that's the big question. the fact that the committee also noted in their statement that meadows and patel were cooperating to some extent was pretty noteworthy. that was just a subpoena deadline for documents and there's a subpoena deadline for these four people to come and be deposed. is that at the end of next week. we'll see if they meet that deadline. another interesting point in the committee statement is that people that don't comply with the subpoenas, that congress will use their criminal contempt power, and that means they will hand it over to the department of justice for criminal penalties. that's the most extreme response that congress can do, and they said that's what they plan to do for those that don't cooperate. this is the very beginning of their investigation, and in talking to people they say they are moving quickly but have a lot more to do. >> pete, one of the things -- we have a new letter from an attorney for steve bannon, and he says we will comply with the dir

a source says steve bannon is telling lawmakers he won't cooperate. his lawyers say it's for the courts to decide whether he ultimately has to comply. the same source saying mark meadows also did respond to the xhirt. it's not clear, however, what meadows said. what is clear is that the investigation is stopped between a rock and a threat of executive privilege. trump saying he'll try to use that tactic. joining us now is a special judiciary committee committee attorney and ely honig is with the southern district of new york. i'll start with you both. does executive privilege actually apply here? >> thanks for having me back. the ultimate determination as to whether executive privilege exists or not is for the biden administration because they are the current orders of the privilege bus they do not think executive privilege applies because they have let former trump administration officials testify about these subjects, the ex-president's assault on the 2020 election, his big lie campaign. two senior doj officials. i think the determination will be th

some of them are cooperating somewhat. there is still, as of today, 14 other subpoenas issued and more are coming in. just about every five days, they've got documents or testimony coming in. they are still working on an investigation and just as the congresswoman had said, they are still looking at documents and phone records and all kind of other things. i don't mean to pooh-pooh steve bannon's testimony but he is not the only witness here and other ones are going to provide information. he may end up in jail. but there's still plenty of other information to be gotten and i just don't think this stuff will completely derail the investigation, john. >> elliot williams, barbara comstock, thanks to both of you. >>> next, the manhunt for brian laundrie and how far, if at all, his parents will go to help. new developments including the question of a polygraph when we come back. since suzie's got goals, she'll want a plan to reach them. so she'll get some help from fidelity, and she'll feel so good about her plan, she can focu

and they hope the threat pushes bannon to cooperate as well. now, it's obviously really important to know here that bannon very likely has crucial information about how the insurrection happened, who did what, who knew what when and what role trump played in it all. according to the book "peril," it was bannon who pushed trump to return to washington from mar-a-lago for the january-6th rally. just days before the insurrection, bannon called trump and said, quote, you got to return to washington and make a dramatic return today. people are going to go what the f is going on here? we are going to bury biden on january every. effing bury him. bannon's confirmed that call happened. and in case it's unclear what bannon was intending to happen on the 6th, he actually spoke about it on his podcast the day before for everyone to hear. >> all hell is going to break loose tomorrow. just understand this. all hell is going to break loose tomorrow. it's not going to happen like you think it's going to happen. okay? it's going to be quite extraordinarily dif

kash patel and mark meadows are apparently cooperating with the committee. their depositions have been postponed, but it is believed they are still going to happen. i want to bring in nbc capitol hill correspondent and white house correspondent for pbs news hour and moderator of washington week on pbs and former federal prosecutor. the committee wants to make taxes, but i said it. it's not like there are u.s. marshals banging down bannon's door today. walk us through the process, and because it's a bit of a long process, could this thing still get detailed? >> yeah, it is a long process, and what's going to happen is the committee is going to convene next week where they will vote to recommend that the house of representatives send bannon's contempt to the department of justice, and then the full house is going to have to take that vote, and then after it does, presumably, that will pass, it goes to the u.s. attorney for the district of columbia, where they will decide if they press charges or not. if the district attorney -- if the attorney presses charges,

tell me about what greenburg has said or what we know about the status of his cooperation. he is the key witness. >> the federal government had a massive amount of leverage against him. joe greenberg committed a bunch of different crimes. he took money. he committed fraud. there's a massive amount of time he could spend in prison. he plead guilty and his lawyer agreed to cooperation agreement that forced limb to tell the government everything he knew. he told the government as you had pointed out that he saw matt gaetz have sex with the 17-year-old girl. he was an eyewitness to that. in any type of investigation that involves sex and these very significant allegations, you are going to need as many witnesses as possible, as much evidence as possible. the government has not only received that testimony from joe greenberg but his lawyer has provided them with documentation that backs up greenberg's accounts whether it's venmo transactions he had with the women or that he had with matt gaetz or different hotel receipts. what the government will do is look at all this. they wil

but this one looks like it fully cooperated. you know why. in the charging documents, it actually says that country agreed to fly at the request of the bad guys, agreed to fly a signal over what sounds like its embassy in washington on memorial day weekend of 2020, the fbi said, hey, they're asking us, they're asking, we're undercover. can you fly a signal, put a signal up in d.c. over your building and they said yes and they did it. it's a pretty cool story, but it's also a message here that this happens way too often and the message of course is espionage doesn't end well for the people trying to do it. >> well, okay. there's a few things here. one is i'm obsessed with who the country is because like if it's an allied country, like what a random, weird thing to do. just reach out to some allied country and say, like, i want to spy for you. and if it's an adversary or someone we have a relationship with, there's the question of why they cooperate as much they do. so there's that. then the motivation question. having done reporting on counter

we talked about the folks not cooperating. but how much can they learn from the people who are cooperating? >> i'm squirming in my seat. i think the word you need to look here is a five-letter word. it's called "shame." you think of the structure of government, executive, legislative, judicial, you want to go in front of the congress and say, look, it's my responsibility as an american citizen to speak. it's shameful if i don't. but let's say steve bannon does comply. you've talked about the former deputy attorney general. steve bannon could show up and say i don't remember, i forgot, that was a conversation with the president and i think it's privileged. and then you have to go adjudicate that. the problem is not just whether he shows up. the problem is if he shows up does he just sort of say because he has no sense of shame, i really don't have anything to say? that's one of the things i worry about, don. >> laura, i also want to ask you about a new york judge order the former president, president trump to sit for a video de

, and i expect you not to cooperate which is what makes this significant. >> yeah, even to the point where his attorney has sent a letter to those subpoenaed saying do not cooperate, whether that's giving testimony or documents because we believe you're covered by various amounts of privilege that they listed in the letter, and so this is different in the sense that these are people that are doing this voluntarily. they are fearful of getting a subpoena, that maybe they just want to share information but what we do know is that the former president is ready to engage in a legal battle balance this to where he's gone as far as sue the january 6th committee and sue the national archives because they have also tried to get documents related to that day, whether it's from call logs or other various forms that they believe could help them piece together what was happening inside the west wing. the former president has made clear what his stance is on this and whether or not he thinks people should go in and speak to them or even more formally cooperate on a level, but i think that this sh

the congressman highlighted the importance of cooperation with allies and partners. we have one of the ways to assess effectiveness of restrictions is the likelihood that allies and partners would go along with any decisions to restrict. i'd like to ask all three of you, again, dave maybe more, in general how you see allies and partners and their assessment of the risk coming from china. >> i thought he could perhaps the extent to which the shift we saw in the trump administration already in the works at the end of the obama, into the second obama term. he may have over sold the extent policies cemented the alliance view on china. i think you're seeing a bit more of an effort now take a more ally centric approach to trade issues. the trade and technology counsel. the u.s. eu meeting that took place in pittsburgh, the first of many. i hope it's more than a long drawn out top shop. the challenges and make remco you can talk about this better than i can. a lot of things the u.s. and u.s. and european interests are really different. our concerns are not their concerns. i

>> now he knows how this end if he doesn't cooperate. he is in a different position than steve bannon because he was in the administration at the time in question. so it is possible that he could potentially get some additional protection of privilege but it is not clear at this point if president biden will be willing to invoke that on his behalf. we know he still has a couple weeks though his attorney has signaled he is not ready to cooperate. he has document due the next week and the week after. he has been asked to do a deposition but at this point it is not clear if they'll come to agreement, compromise, or if he too could be found in contempt. >> thank you so much. >>> speaking of steve bannon attorney general garland stuck to the talking points today saying when he comes to bannon he will apply the facts and the law as to whether to prosecute for contempt of congress. the smorgasboard of hearing featured republicans pressing the attorney general on this october 4th memo from his office stating the doj is worried about threats and

what is their plan b if there's no cooperation? >> i think we're all expecting this to turn into potentially protracted court fight. the january 6th committee members knew that there were people who they could invite and there were people they could subpoena and there would be varying levels of cooperation and that those four would probably provide the lowest level of possible cooperation, either simply refusing to of it, hiding behind executive privilege, if that could be exercised by the former president on their behalf. it's not entirely clear what their path forward will be, but they have made it very clear that they view their investigation as in for the long haul. and so if this becomes a court fight, so be it. >> i think bannon has the hardest executive privilege case to make of those four individuals. garrett, thank you. jane, let me move to you. i'd like to you try to explain what we're seeing in congress today. you're following this. congress wanted to do a hearing on the sham fraud audit that took place in arizona. so ex

guest: i wouldn't expect them to cooperate with the committee. they are engaging which means they are not saying hell no, i will not come. a back-and-forth like this, but when steve bannon said he is not going to cooperate and he would defy the subpoena, his lawyer and the letter to the committee made it explicit that it was not his decision, it was donald trump's decision. he has the privilege. donald trump asserted executive privilege and instructed him not to testify. the same thing would apply to the others. they don't want to be out there front and center taking the bullets the way bannon is. he enjoys being the bad guy. yamiche: i want to ask about your reporting. your new book is coming out. the trail. the final act of the trump show. great title. can you talk a bit about what you learned about what the president was saying while the insurrection was happening? i wonder how that connects to this sort of grievance politics that sees them pursued? guest: onef the essential purposes of the committee is to find out what donald trump was doing

you have others cooperating. still confidential providing information. that information is pouring in. >> our legal context there on what we can see in the coming days. and staying in washington this hour, u.s. president joe biden's approval rating is up to 50% in new cnn poll. but democrats in congress are still struggling to gain traction on his legislative agenda. and really sell the specifics of his plans. now, progressives in the house could be fighting for their political lives in the 2022 midterms, while moderate democrats, joe manchin and kirsten sinema are standing in the way in the senate. take a listen. >> we're waiting for the two of them to agree with each other, and then to submit a counterproposal. and i'm not sure why it's taking so long, but obviously this is a moment where we're all in agreement. so if somebody else has a different proposal, they should put it on the table. but it doesn't make sense for us to continue to negotiate against ourselves. >> well, that new cnn poll just mentioned finds 75% of democrats prefer a bill that gtz

the select committee would prefer and frankly expect all witnesses to fully cooperate. but steve bannon has led us down this path by refusing to cooperate in any way with our investigation. we believe mr. bannon has information valuable to our probe. he was deeply involved in the so-called stop the steal campaign. he was reportedly in a war room meeting the day before the riot and had been pressuring the former president to try to stop the counting of electoral college ballots. he warned that all hell would break loose on january 6. we believe he can help inform our inquiry as to how the riot came together and what it was intended to achieve. he's clearly an important witness. so we subpoenaed him. and unlike other witnesses, who have engaged and worked with our team to find a way to cooperate, mr. bannon told us he wouldn't comply because the former president told him not to. he hid behind vague and baseless claims of privilege. that's just not acceptable. the select committee told mr. bannon several times that he would face the consequences if he didn't change course.

capitol and what it could mean for former trump adviser steve bannon, who refuses to cooperate. the showdown looming in washington. >>> runway disaster. new details about the shocking plane crash near houston and how everyone got out. >>> attention shoppers. more prices going up. the everyday items getting more expensive. and the new ideas to address the supply chain crisis across the country. >>> happening today, the nfl confronting race. a new plan to address a concussion settlement, in which players were denied payouts for what is known as race-norming. >>> word that facebook could be changing its name. >>> and should workers be allowed to take a leave of absence when they get a new pet? the debate over leave. >>> good morning, everyone. we begin with the looming showdown in washington, over steve bannon, one of trump's closest advisers. >> the committee recommended holding bannon in contempt, for refusing to cooperate with the investigation. >> it could result in bannon facing prison time. alex presha is here with more. >> reporter: good morning, mona. the bottom line is tha

would you cooperate with them? >> yes, i would cooperate if they reached out. i've had a couple of very casual conversations about it, but, yes, i would cooperate if needed, absolutely. >> do you think the president was essentially trying to stage a coup? >> i do. when you look at what he was doing to vice president pence. when you look at how many ways he was trying to get people and phone calls, even with georgia and arizona and then again, with pressuring mike pence with all he wanted to do. and that memo that's now come out about all the ways to, you know, overturn this election. i do. it's dangerous. >> if you finally did resign over disgust out of what happened that day, why did you say in your statement that it was an honor to serve the country in the white house? >> i said it was an honor to serve the country, which i believe wholeheartedly. i said it was an honor to serve melania trump and her mission to help children. and i was very proud to help her with her mission to help children. >> you write very favorably about melania trump's, in your view, ge

this means he could face charges for refusing to cooperate with an investigation into the storming of the capital in january ease. ellen's prime minister says cove 19 lockdown measures will be lifted once 90 percent of the country is fully vaccinated. so far about 70 percent of eligible people have had 2 jobs. the country's been grappling with an outbreak of the delta variance since august. when hey, reports from tauranga and you seen it? oakland is the economic center of new zealand. but for more than 2 months, it's been largely at a standstill. following hughes ellen's 1st outbreak of the delta, very into of coven 19 keeping it locked down much longer is unsustainable. and the government has responded to growing calls for a plan to get back to normal. we cannot asphyxiated people to stay home for ever. so now we need a new playbook to reflect the population protected from covet. the prime minister announced a traffic light system. we'll be introduced with different alert levels to manage outbreaks of the virus using fewer restrictions and no more nationwide locked downs . it signals

he said everyone on the crew has been cooperative. he said they've interviewed and talked to the armorer. they talked to the assistant director. people have been wondering about them because they were working with what they call props but what we now know was a functioning weapon. there are over 100 people on set they want to talk to and interview them as well to get more information. we're hearing reports there may have been other misfires on the set of "rust." they wanted to get more information on that but they didn't have that at this point. the most important thing at this point, though, is learning more about the fire aarms on the set and only one appeared to be functional, and that's the one fired by alec baldwin. >> now joining us, senior fellow prosecutor eli honig. the santa fe d.a. is not ruling out criminal charges. she says this is a complex case. help us understand how she may be thinking about this. what charges might she be considering and who could be in legal jeopardy? >> ana, so the d.a. made clear that the charge t

what do you mean by remarkable cooperation? >> there have been dozens and dozens of interviews that have taken place with people who were involved both on the political coup side and on the insurrection side, and other people have information about what was taking place. obviously we had to vote out criminal contempt charges to refer to the u.s. attorney to take to the grand jury in the case of steve bannon because of his blatant refusal to comply with a congressional subpoena. he just didn't show up. but we're being reasonable as the courts have always asked congress to be reasonable. we have the right to all this information, but if somebody can't show up thursday at 4:00 and they want to come monday at 9:00, if they've got a doctor's appointment, they got something else going on, we're going to, you know, participate in a process of accommodation with them. and people have raised different kinds of objections to this or that. again, we're trying to be reasonable and accommodating them. >> but like on meadows, for example, pa

that's the scenario where there is cooperation. i think there are lots of areas where there's competition or where there's disagreement. semiconductors is another ttc working group. u.s. is now investing i think the chips act money is not appropriated yet, but if it is, i think the u.s. is going to invest around 50 billion in domestic manufacturing in semiconductor r&d. europe has now said, we want in on that, so we also want to invest tens of billions. those companies find the same market so there's competitive element there for sure as the u.s., or the eu doesn't want to be dependent on the u.s. for its semiconductor manufacturers supply chains. that's an area of competition, talent is an area of competition, too. we have canada advertising with big billboards in silicon valley saint if you have h-1b problems, visa problems, come to canada. we are very open, we have low taxes. that campaign has been running for many years and having a lot of success. the u.s. says we want to cooperate on talent with other countries but that often

when president biden fielded questions at a town hall, anderson cooper more interested in helping him explained in exp. >> you're proposing federal paid parental leave and you had dinner with dr. biden that that night, what was that conversation like? is there anything you can do to either encourage people to go back to work or make jobs more attractive? what could do you say to someone who is down, do you have a time line for gas prices and when you think they may be coming down. off-mic, you said this is a big f-ing. p i'm wondering the big back better plan is it a bigger f-ing deal. >> howie: joining us now, kat timpf and mo elleithee who runs the instituted of politics. kat, this is joe biden's third town hall as president, all with cnn. seems the to me that anderson cooper asked a lot of process questions, that's the bill, what's your backup for things cut from the bill, with one exception, never challenged the president. your take? >> i think that's absolutely true. and it was a little strange to watch. even newsweek which isn't exactly super conservative publication said five s

steve bannon, his team has said he's not cooperating, he's not coming. so have you already started drafting the criminal referral? >> i can't comment on that, but let me tell you what i think is going on with steve bannon. this is one thing i write about in the book. during the russia investigation, led at the time by a chairman devin nunes, republican, we subpoenaed bannon. and he came in with 25 questions that were written out for him by the white house. and said these are the only questions i'm going to ask. i'm going to allow you to ask and i've written out the answers and the answer to each is no. and the republicans allowed that. and bannon knew he could get way with that because republicans would allow that kind of obfuscation, but they knew the attorney general, bill barr, before him jeff sessions, neither of them would enforce the law. they would both support and protect and cover up for donald trump. that's not the situation anymore. we have a new attorney general. a new justice department dedicated to the principle that no one is above the law

that shaped our cooperation in the fight against terrorism. it was very important r franco-german relations, and for the personal relationship between myself and merkel. it fostered enduring respect and appreciation. >> in the summer of 2015, merkel faced one of e most consequential decisions of her political career. llions were fleeing war and persecution in syria and other cris regions. many sought refuge in eupe. and thereou had a cavan ofhe world's most stitute, finding their way through these mhustlers on these dangerous bos, making eir way into gree and italynd beyond. fand everywhere they went, thee mdoors werefacemmed in their >> everyone s closineir borderto preventigrants fand evefrom entering.ent, thee mdshe took the bold step ofr standing up and saying "i am going to open my borders and i will allow these people in." she knows she was taking a risk. >> we have an obligation to granrefuge to the who serve refu. >> hundreds and thousands of syrians fleeing bombs, fleeing opprsion, somew managingo geto eope and then walking toerma and

there's no indication these witnesses will cooperate by tonight's deadline. "the washington post" is now reporting, as you know, that former president trump has actually urged them not to comply. he's claiming executive privilege. what's your reaction? >> well, a lot of points here. the former president, it's not his role to claim privilege. that's the current occupant in the white house, but this is, you know, more broadly this shouldn't surprise anyone. the former president has done everything he can to try to get in the way of this investigation, including having senator mcconnell go into his caucus and oppose the bipartisan commission that we all would have wanted, so here we are, and our task ahead of us for the committee is to get to the truth. that's what we want, and clearly the president has a problem with us getting to the truth, and so that's why he's mounting a continued pressure campaign on these individuals who he's encouraging not to cooperate. >> i'm actually surprised, and i wonder if you are, congressman, that your committee hasn't even been
