like the president is going to leave for europe regardless. it doesn't matter if he has something in hand as much politically he wants to have a deal to go over there to italy and then scotland. same with the governors race next week. the two things are not inherently linked even though people want them to be. are democrats facing debate giving up things? >> probably not. as you stated, these are not hard deadlines, but they do affect morale and confidence and belief and faith and what's going to happen moving forward, and i think we saw this, you know, when it came to the coronavirus pandemic and the july 4th deadline. these are not things that, you know, have to be accomplished by these specific dates, but it certainly does take some of the wind, you know, out of the and to say that mission was accomplished by the time that we, you know, set for it to be done. and that can really make it very difficult to remind or should i say convince the voters that the party has done what they said they would do when they said they would do it. >> "the w

they wanted american support for french independent defense efforts in europe. independent additional to nato. that is being done. and they wanted signals that france would genuinely be a partner in america, efforts to deal with china, competition in the indopacific and also that is being done, as officials talk in detail how to draw france into their efforts. i think they've worked hard on this. we'll just have to see over the next days whether biden is really back. whether he's seen as representing a strong and united america or whether european doubts continue. >> what are you going to be watching for to give you that answer? >> i'll be watching, as always, at these gatherings, the body language. i'm going to be watching the communique. i think biden will go to the glasgow summit conference, which begins on sunday, with a very strong hand, assuming that he can get the progress he's seeking and finalizing his budget deal. to go with a commitment of $555 billion in climate change spending to a conference where nobody has got anywhere close to that in terms of c

time is running short before the president heads to europe. progressives say they need to see legislation, it's not good enough. that seems big at mind to manage here. what will the president's involvement in the next couple of days. we know he has senator manchin in delaware. should we expect something similar with senator sinema this week. >> sure, he was really encouraged by the agreement of moving forward and want to get things done. it does feel i know for people watching that this is messy and we'll never get there. this is what it looks like when you are near the finish line. this is going to be the largest investment addressing the climate crisis ever in history. to give everybody a sense, a recovery act when it was passed when the president was vice president, six times incise. this is the largest investment in child care. it's also going to expand access to healthcare. what we are talking about now is how you do that? how do you expand medical care? there is a lot of ideas out there. we are at the stage where we have to make a decisi

he's saying i'm getting on a plane, i'm going to europe. i've delayed my departure by a couple hours to meet with democrats and speak to the american people and his message to his own party is please get onboard with this. i expect to you get onboard with this. this may be a real last opportunity or shot to get everybody together and to get something done not just on what they're still negotiating when it comes to these social spending programs but also to get his already bipartisan infrastructure deal across the finish line. originally the white house hoped there had been major progress on this by the time he was going to leave for europe, but significant is yesterday the tea leaves were indicating he was going to push his departure back which is exactly what he's doing. he will go to capitol hill. but, remember, we've seen this movie once before at the end of september when the president went to meet with these same house democrats in order to try to see if he could get something accomplished, some agreement. remember, they decided they d

the president wants a win before he gets on the plane to go to europe. he wants to be able to tell different countries at the g-20, the climate conference, and the pope as well, what he's getting done at home. it's a big, big day with a lot of moving parts. >> and neal katyal, if you were running the 1/6 committee or advising the staff, what would you want asked to mr. clark and mr. eastman? >> i think jeff clark just has to come and tell the truth. he was a low level environmental lawyer running temporarily the civil division. he decided to try to overstep his bounds by far. basically try and machinate to become the attorney general and displace jeffrey rosen, the acting attorney general. we need to know the story about what happened. and particularly what did trump say to him, and what did he say to trump, and what was trump's role in this whole thing? it's been almost a year, and we don't have answers to those basic questions. which is just unforgivable. as far as john eastman, i think a subpoena on him is inevitable. he tried last week to say he didn

i'll have more to say after i return from a critical meeting in europe this week. but for now, let me lay out a few points. first, we face -- and i apologize for saying this again. we face an inflection point as a nation. for most of the 20 th century, we led the world by a significant margin because we invested in our people. not only our roads and highways and bridges, but in our people. and our families. we didn't just build an interstate highway system. we built a highway to the sky. we invested to win the space race, and we won. we're also among the first to provide access to free education for all americans, beginning back in the late 18 00s. that decision alone to invest in our children and their families was a major part of why we were able to lead the world for much of the 20th century. somewhere along the way, we stopped investing in ourselves, in our people. america's still the largest economy in the world. we still have the most productive workers and most innovative minds in the world. what we risk losing our edge as a nation. our infrastructure used t

i got reporting of the legislative agenda as well as the president's trip to europe. how do you see them navigating the next two weeks or so? >> i got to flip it around on you and say what's your one big thing now? we know deadlines, and whether or not the october 31st deadline is really that real of a deadline, you want to go on recess or do you want to go on a district court period, whether or not the trip will go to europe, those deadlines will get postponed. >> hans, we have a little bit of a faceoff today, i think we navigated pretty well and we appreciate you being here this morning. >> thanks to all of you for getting up way too early with us this monday morning. "morning joe" starts right now. >>> it's 6:00 on the east coast, a beautiful shot of washington. >> happy monday mika. >> happy monday. >> look at that beautiful shot of washington. makes it feel like i am in my rush morning hour traffic. >> good

we have one of the largest muslim communities in europe. we are the third largest jewish community in the world. we are really very much attached to this diversity, to this tolerance. this is the base of our policy, exactly the contrary to fight against racism, to fight for tolerance. it's a base for our society. >> but what does it say -- you probably heard me in the beginning of the segment -- i know you have presidential elections next year. one of the most prominent potential candidates is a person convicted of racial incitement. he wants to ban non-french names. he is a person getting a lot of traction. what does that say about the politics of your country that someone like this could have such popularity in this current climate? >> for the time being, i think it says only one thing, that candidates or potential candidates try to put the question of migration, immigration in the center, in the focus of the political debate. the elections -- thank you for asking about our elections. it will be a very important moment for us, for our dem

, bill any bill, beyond the naming of national peach month between now and when he is wheels up for europe on thursday? >> yes brian. president biden very much wants to have one if not both of these bills signs and done by the time he leaves for europe, in part because there is a major climate conference, convening this weekend, and he wants to be able to announce there that the united states, has signed into law, some major climate change legislation, that of course is contained, in what, happened a three and a half trillion dollar social spending package, that is now being whittled, down effectively in half, my colleagues on capitol hill are reporting at this hour, that it appears there honing in on a deal for that 1.7 five trillion, we were there still haggling with senator joe manchin of west virginia, senator kyrsten sinema of arizona, over a couple of the key elements of that bill. specifically the expansion of medicare and medicaid, the expansion of the paid family leave program. and some of the climate measures that manchin is opposing, in part because of the power of the coal indu

the white house ahead to get a deal before president biden leaves for europe. he's slated to go tomorrow but even they are lowering expectations. white house press secretary jen psaki, our guest yesterday on "way too early" has acknowledged it. some lawmakers are worried if the deal isn't agreed upon by the end of the week, they will lose momentum. and joining us now, co-founder of punchbowl, anna palmer. what more are you tell us about the deadlines that the president had last night with senator manchin of west virginia and sinema of arizona? >> this is the whole key for joe biden, senator joe manchin and kyrsten sinema. going to pieces of the package because they know everything is in their hands at this point but i do think you have to have a pretty miraculous 24 hours for joe biden to head to europe without any kind of a deal here. there is so much here still undecided. >> give us updates on a key components here, in terms of the family leave plan, or the child tax credit, or the mechanism to pay for it. there was some reporting last night this is being hur

biden is hoping to get a deal before he leaves for europe on thursday. also tonight, moderna now says its covid-19 vaccine is safe and effective for children 6 through 11 years old. tomorrow an fda advisory panel meets to discuss authorizing pfizer shots for younger children. with that, let's bring in our starting line on this monday night. philip rucker, pulitzer prize winning senior washington correspondent of the "washington post," carol leonnig with the "new york times" best seller, i alone can fix it, donald trump's catastrophic final year. and associate editor and columnist for real clear politics, and professor melissa murray, law clerk for justice sonia sotomayor on the federal bench prior to her nomination to the supreme court. good evening, and welcome to all of you indeed counselor, i would like to begin with you because the white house counsel has, again, said there's no privilege worries here. we're going to open up the files on the existing records from 1/6. what happens next, professor, especially considering this is under lawsuit? >> well

that had not happened in europe since world war ii but russia did that to ukraine in 2014. russia under putin had been pushing it to be considered a part of the g8. him invading ukraine and taking part of it and calling that part and the g-8 always had a bit of drama. the g-8 had big drama. that with of ukraine russia that was too much. was that was too much for the g-8. russia got booted indefinitely out of the g8 in 2014 and that is how the g8 shrunk and become the g7. so the g7 still exists minus russia now. but then there is also the g20. and the g20 is not seven countries. it's 20 countries. and, therefore, by definition, it's less exclusive. and it turns out if you want to be a part of the g20, it's fine if you invade a neighboring country and take part of their land as your own. even when they kicked russia out of the g7, they let them stay in the g20. and lots of people have stayed in the g20 through lots of scandals. but when president biden leaves washington tomorrow to fly off to this year's g20 summit in rome, there is a source of embarrassment, a sign of someth

is it because the civil war happened in america versus europe? i'm sorry, rachel, that's to you. >> oh, well, i think the history of the holocaust, it certainly didn't happen here. the history of enslavement, the history of the civil war is deeply personal. this is our story. it is the story of the foundation of our nation. it is a lot harder to be honest with the difficult truths about your own history than about a history perceived as having occurred elsewhere. >> interesting. let's all take a listen to this clip from isabel wilkerson. here it is. >> those of us alive today have to find a way to explain to succeeding generations how is it that we saw a confederate flag inside the united states capitol this year, january 6th, how is it that a rioter was able to deliver the confederate flag farther than robert e. lee himself? >> okay. erica, if it's fair to connect slavery to the plight of black americans today, is it also fair to trace done content, that which we saw in the january 6th capitol riots, back to fallout from the civil war? >> i thin

again day 281 of the biden administration, the president may now be delaying his schedule departure for europe tomorrow morning so that he can continue to try to persuade members of his own party to pass his domestic policy bills. drama sometimes helps in these matters, we'll have more on that in just a moment. there is also news from the house committee investigating one six, just a short time ago. one committee member confirms, they expect to hear testimony from jeffrey clark. he is the former trump doj official, who was reportedly involved in the former presidents effort to overturn the election. >> i think the committee has acknowledged with scheduled, this friday for an interview, so i believe that is still on. >> as we reported, the washington post says that the committee expects to subpoena john eastman, the trump friendly lawyer who outlined that for overturning the election. by having former vp mike pence, nullified the electoral votes. last week in an interview with the national review, eastman disinvited the plan calling it quote, not viable and crazy. but eastman was caught on came

he has funneled tons of cocaine into the united states, into europe. he's an individual that has killed police officers, soldiers, social activists. he's engaged not only in cocaine trafficking but also the abuse of young females. this man is a very cruel, heartless drug trafficker and i'm sure he's going to be extradited to the united states because he's wanted on charges here in miami and then also in the southern district of new york. >> talk to us about the operation to get somebody like this. i mean, 500 armed officers plus special forces. you have dealt with some big takedowns over your career. what was it like to get this guy? >> it took a lot of planning. the planning took place on the 15th of this month in bogota. then it was executed very quickly. we knew that he had eight rings of security, of gunmen surrounding him. so it was going to take a huge force of army, air force and then also colombia national police. and they also had air cover provided by helicopters with .50 caliber machine guns that sprayed the jungle area to scatter all of his

number one president biden could still be in europe, if not on his way back. perhaps democrats who sent him empty handed to europe will give him something to tout. also, it's the governors election in virginia. terry mcauliffe said he wants to see the bill passed. perhaps this is a gift they're giving to the governor in virginia ahead of a really tough race there. alex? >> thank you for that comprehensive report. >>> more breaking news to share. we're taking you live to rome. that's where the leaders are taking part in that g-20 summit. that includes president biden arriving there for that gala dinner. that is not president biden. it's been a very busy day overseas for the president meeting with several world leaders. just a few hours ago the president sat down with european allies to discuss the iran nuclear deal. meanwhile, the race for governor in virginia is as tight as can be. the candidates are neck and neck. terry mcauliffe, democrat, has 49% support of likely voters. youngkin close behind with 48%. democrats have taken the lead in early voting ahead of

you come from europe, studied russia for many, many years. what is your take on what's happening in america right now? where are we headed? >> down a path so many other countries have done, including europe, russia, italy and germany difficult times in their histories. i can just tell you that most immigrants that i know from europe and many who have come from war torn societies around the middle east in latin america, south asia, have said to me and have been trying to share their views on internet chat sites that the united states is in trouble. we have all seen it before, and this is a path hard to turn back on. once people start to forget they're supposed to be in the service of the country, once they forget the loyalty of a country and put loyalty of an individual or their own personal position and power that they're trying to pull that power from, once they put all of that first we're in really big trouble. >> if we've seen it before, why are we on the path now? you watched trump up close and personal. why do you think, after all that h

is going to make good on its promises, europe and other factions, and they don't. it affects everybody. >> you're absolutely right, alex. you know, china is by far the biggest polluter in the world. india is going to have literally five times as much electricity generation in 2050 as they do now. but what i believe will happen is that clean energy over fossil fuel energy. no reason for people to build more coal plants no reason to build natural gas plants. the ideas coming from the private sector are going to make it imperative for countries around the world to build clean energy, use electric vehicles that will be cheaper and better. governments have to lead. there is a huge signal that has to come out of glasgow, scotland, this week, but that signal is going to reverberate in economic systems around the world, and i truly believe that private sector is going to take up this mantle from governments and really blow everybody's mind in the best possible way. >> i tell you, from your lips to the lawmakers ears for sure. let's hope that's the case. let's remind people

they mean this week to europe. they're in hand to hand combat. the ammo's all gone, they've switched to bayonnets. they're just trying to get it done, said john podesta. it's got to be a lot if it made podesta go military there. jonathan lemire, what reporting have you that they are any closer today really than they were yesterday or last friday night? >> yeah, bayonets are certainly a strong image. transportation bill funding runs out at the end of the month. number two, the virginia's governor race, terry mcauliffe literally pleading, begging the white house and congressional democrats to get this done, at least pass the infrastructure part of it, if not the reconciliation bill to give him something to run on, which shows the alarm he is experiencing about his candidacy. and then of course, yes, the president on thursday heads to europe, rome first an audience with the pope. then the g20 summit, although xi jinping won't be there so that takes out some of the heat of it. the president does have a meeting with french president macron. and then t

, i've done a lot of work in, europe's biggest rake in germany in decades, just happened in berlin. where the workers, 30,000 workers striking in berlin, hospital workers just saying we're not going to take it anymore. what's interesting is, we have a great minority of workers said that you are represented by unions, but i think to your point. there are a lot of people who are watching unionized workers going on strike and winning, and that's the motivating factor in. think when people see people going on strike in winning. and not being punished, it actually emboldens more people to, do it and it's a way to show american workers at large, hey there's something you can do when you act collectively you can win more. >> i also wonder, to him thinking about. this is the psychological effects of the pandemic, that life is too sure. honestly, i think a lot of people. look at these numbers, 1952, 2.7 million workers out on strike. in 2020 which is during the pandemic, 27, 000, so that's a factor of 1000, but we think of the world war ii period in the period afterwards, at this period of n

market for bourbon and motorcycles to be shipped to europe. he used this issue to make a broader point about the repairing of the u.s./european relationships. it's no secret this trip is very different than the first trip president biden made overseas. then it was pushing an open door. world leaders were so excited, frankly, you could see it on their faces to be welcoming a u.s. president that wasn't donald trump. it's no secret the reception has been cooler. we saw that in the meeting with french president emmanuel macron in which he said declarations are one thing but proof is better as it relates to trust. residual show of what the upset relationships over the u.k., australia submarine deal involving the u.s. as well. but this was the president standing side by side with the e.u. commissioner who on her part laid out a long laundry list in the ways in which the u.s. and europe has been able to come back together on the same page on a number of issues. she mentioned boeing versus airbus. she mentioned the global minimum tax which the biden a

the dissidence in europe who taught me and from my contemporaries in eastern europe who were struggling for democracy and remind americans of the things we should know. i was trying to think us the things we thought we knew about naziism or communism. it's been a great honor to me that europeans repeat this back to me and a surprise and a great pleasure to see the basic message of the book be useful in brazil or india or china or hong kong and have student leaders from as far afield as thailand translate the book as well. if we're facing the same problems, we might be able to use a similar language and take similar actions. >> indeed one of the things you say is one of the lessons we need to learn is to make contacts in other countries, to make sure we have passports, to make sure we stay in touch with people who may have confronted these same problems and may have been wiser than us in the way they dealt with them. one of the things that i found myself having gone back to the book and read it again now that it's out in this beautiful graphic edition, i realized that when i first read t

they mean this week to europe. there are in hand-to-hand combat. the animals all gone they've switched to bayonet's, they're just trying to get it done. said john podesta, founder of the progressive thing town center for american progress. it's gotta be a lot if it made podesta go military there. jonathan lin here, what reporting have you that they are any closer than they were yesterday or last friday night? >> yeah, bayonet sterling a strong image, brian. there is some concern because there's a trio of deadlines. but at -- at the end of the month. number two, the number the race we've been talking about, the virginia governor race -- taking this a usual stephen begging the white house and congressional -- at least pass the infrastructure part of it if not the reconciliation bill. to give him something to run off. which shows the alarm he's experiencing about his candidacy. and then of course he has to present on thursday, had to europe, rome first audience with the pope, and then the g20 summit. jinping will take will be there. the president does

why is she in europe, juanita? why is she in europe when she should be trying to help the people of arizona. can you explain to it me? what is she doing in your thunder raising? >> joy, you know i have no clue what i think she's doing, especially when the whole state of arizona is watching her, right? they are coming for her, joy. so while she is out here traipsing around europe, fundraising, and ignoring true opportunities to invest not only in arizona but across the country, a true opportunity to realize biden's agenda, people are seeing her and people are frustrated. i saw the data for progress poll today that said among democrats who voted in the primary in arizona, 70% disapprove of what she is doing. and honestly, as a strategist, i'm looking forward, okay, what can she possibly do to dig herself out of a hole of 70% disapproval over the next few years if she is part to blame for tanking biden's agenda, if she is part to blame for take democrats' agenda, if she contributes to this failed leadership that we're

in britain you don't see that compared to europe when i was in mainland europe a couple weeks ago, people walk into restaurants and around indoor places and they're all wearing masks. here in london, you simply don't see that at all. it's almost as if the pandemic is entirely over. so the government has ruled out reintroducing any of the more draconian lockdowns that we saw as recently as earlier this year, but they have said that this is one to watch, and if the numbers don't correct themselves, they will be implementing what they're calling plan b. jose? >> matt bradley in london. thank you. i appreciate it. >>> nancy pelosi is holding the weekly press briefing. let's go to that. >> and addressing the concerns, vaccines in arms. money in people's pockets. safety in the workplace, children going back to school, all impacted by governance and science in this regard. at the same time, we have a global responsibility, and we know that, and we certainly are doing a lot, but we have to do more. so here we are down through the stretch from maryland and horse racing, it's horse sports. now hors

they've been doing this really in effect in europe for quite some time. their astrazeneca vaccine is similar to johnson & johnson, and they've been doing mixing and matching to good effect. >> i want to ask you about the doses now for these vaccines, particularly as we're about to open up vaccines for kids under the age of 12. we know some of the european countries have decided to do one dose instead of two because of the issue of the heart inflammation risk, particularly in young adolescent boys. what's your sense on this, and do you think there needs to be further investigation here by cdc and fda? it does seem as if we're -- we don't have the research yet to know for sure. >> well, first of all, pfizer who is first in line with their vaccine for children age 5 to 11 has reduced the dose in their vaccine. it's one-third of the dose that was required for adolescence in young adults, and they get a very good immune response, and their immediate safety profile is comparable. so that looks really pretty good. secondly, we -- although we don't know everythin

dissidents in europe, who taught me, and from my contemporaries in eastern europe, we were struggling for democracy. and remind americans of the things that you should know. i was trying to teach us things that we thought we knew about nazism, or communism. it's been a great honor to me, to then see europeans repeat this back to me. and it's been a surprise, but also a great pleasure to receive the basic message of the book to be useful in places like brazil or india or china or hong kong. they have student leaders from his far away as thailand, translate the book themselves. this is been extraordinary, but it's also a source of hope, because they suggest that if we're facing the same problems, we might also be able to use a similar language, and take similar actions. >> indeed, one of the things that you say, is one of the lessons we need to, learn is to make contacts and other countries, to make sure we have passports. to make sure we stay in touch with people who may have confronted some of the same problems, and may have been wiser than us. in the way that they dealt with them. on

and flee. >> her husband, jorge mancillas was back in europe. trying to understand the secret his wife had kept from him for years. >> i could not understand how she could be living with such a traumatic event in the past. i was very moved, that she tried to protect me. because then i understood, what was the threat for me and our family. >> there was no anger? she should've told me. i should have known what is going on? >> no. i felt frustrated, because i thought that perhaps i could've done something. had i known what the circumstances were. >> patricia arrived home just before christmas. >> i cherished every minutes of the day, when i was with my daughter. when i went back to geneva. i felt so blessed. and so fortunate, that my life had been given back to me. the life we had work so hard to create. >> those days around christmas and new year's were very happy. we thought the nightmare was over. >> but the nightmare was far from over. coming up. defiance. >> he is willing to destroy a family, knowing of innocence. >> the professor and her husb

and in europe, and in new zealand, in australia. they've all shown, and canada, they've all shown a means to getting to this. but here in this country, where these companies are located, our legislators, i don't know if you can guess how much legislation covers the internet brian. how much do you think? how much you do? imagine i read as much as i should for my job. not much i'm guessing is the setup here. >> zero, there is no legislation. there is none. there is one piece of legislation that protects them and gives them immunity. so we don't have adequate data protection laws, for the internet. we do not have a national privacy bill. we don't have an anti-acting bill. you can go on and on, on a lot of things. and so until we have just one piece of legislation that controls these companies. we are going to have the same outcome. and we are out there, whatever they feel like doing, we are going to have to do. and the only power is the federal government government to deal with. this and we will see what they do. >> so philip rucker,

it ended, but it would be qualifying as a marathon meeting at this point as we get ready to head to europe with the president. his first stop is to rome, to the vatican, in fact. we do know over the course of the last week there has been really some growing optimism on the part of all the key democrats that they are closing in on a final deal. we heard more of that this morning from speaker pelosi who's obviously been in close touch with the president throughout this process as well. let's listen to her fresh comments this morning. >> terms of where we are, i've said already we have 90% of the bill agreed to and written. we just have some of the last decisions to be made. it is less than we had -- was projected to begin with, but it's still bigger than anything we have done in terms of addressing the needs of america's working families. >> by the time he leaves for europe, do you think you'll have a deal by thursday or friday? >> i think we're pretty much there now. >> reporter: now obviously senator manchin, his opposition to the climate proposal, one of the key prospects here in the legi

extremist parties in europe are covered very differently. even though germany's afd or italy's northern league are considered fringe parties their extremism is made clear. we talk about neo fascist and yet the american far right is no longer fringe. it is one of our two main parties right now. a lot of very serious people in washington, d.c. seem in denial about that. don't want to call the gop what it's become when it has become what we would call a far right party in any european country. >> david, it is an incestuous ecosystem. they are all friends, date each other, have sex, get married, get divorced, slap each other on the back. i remember a day before a white house press conference a couple years ago there was a big party. producers, hosts, reporters. you know who else was there? sean spicer. remember the man who literally lied to the press from the pulpit? he was having the best time mehdi back slapping someone. so it is a failure of the washington, d.c., new york incessuous press network that looks for access, looks for the bottom li

when you have far right parties rising in europe. in some countries the mainstream decided to reject the far right parties and unite to block anti-democratic parties from rising. in italy and germany, the center-right decided to try to co-opt far right parties and we all know what happened in those two countries. >> kim, to expand on ian's point, as i understand it, you believe that frankly it's too late to save this country. why is that? >> well, i'm really very worried. if you couple joe biden's lagging approval ratings, the expectation that most people don't turn out at midterms, gerrymandering across the country, we're also seeing antivoting laws and a new wave of laws that are taking the sort of bureaucratic role of counting votes and putting it in the hands of politicians, and this big lie, we're seeing things set up for the midterms to hand over congress to republicans. and regardless of where the vote lies in 2024, that the election will be swung to donald trump. and the senate judiciary committee came out with a report recen

we will have the latest on the g20 summit right now in europe. "velshi" starts right now. >>> good morning. today, democrats may finally have a deal, but at a cost. heather from the white house council of economic advisers joins me next to talk about the latest and what we get and lose and what comes next. >>> the deadline for the new york city first responders to get the first vaccine dose has come and gone. that is setting up closures happening. i'll talk to the head of the new york firefighters union for the support for those protesting the mandate. >>> a preview of the post-roe landscape from someone who had been studying the laws for over a decade and a certain twice impeached president is trying to keep hidden from the january 6th investigation. "velshi" starts now. good morning. saturday, october 30th. i'm ali velshi. we are find ourselves in the middle of the breakthrough of the plan to shore up america's social safety net. there is a lot to gain from what the president announced this week, but much we are about to lose. the plan was cut

you see him arriving he takes off for europe for a high stakes meeting on global economy and climate change. with me nbc news capitol hill correspondent leigh ann caldwell and monica alba. >> reporter: he's been in the room for about 45 minutes now and there were no phones allowed in the room so we're not getting too many details, but what we do know from the few members who have left there are left early, president biden is going through the proposal section by section. he's educating the members what is in the proposal and trying to convince them to vote for the separate bipartisan infrastructure bill, the roads, bridges bill that the trillion-dollar bill speaker pelosi wants voted on today, while also supporting this proposal, but jose, there are a lot of questions. while is he trying to unite the party the progressives say the framework is not enough. they need details and legislative text and a strong commitment from senators joe manchin and kyrsten sinema that they are going to support it. those are three things that the president is not able to provide to house democrats just

and of course there is another deadline which is, at this point, a matter of minutes to europe. and he hoped to go to roam. it seems like right now that he might not be able to do that. >> he will be the only leader in the g-20. the only leader for the world's 20 wealthiest countries, the only country that does not have paid family leave. a very busy day, i know. chris murphy now joins me on the appropriations committee. senator murphy, the president is asking these democrats, especially the progressives in the house, as a leap of faith that the senator wills be on board, and that they have the 50 votes for reconciliation. until they have that and have language on the social spending, they don't want to vote on the bill that the president could have had three months ago. so you have an extraordinary situation with the leader of the party pleading with his own democrats in a way that lbj never had to, as he goes overseas to two critical summits. and politically, terry mccauliffe, they're saying they have to be done just a week ago. it is important for the race and the midterms. w

it could be next year, perhaps somewhere else in europe. that's going to be an important moment akin to what we saw when president biden met this past summer. there is an opportunity for biden who is mostly popular with his foreign con temp contemperaries. is biden the aberration or was trump the aberration. we won't know that until 2024 at least. on climate change hope even if the president comes there without meaningful legislation in hand that he will strike a tone that other nations can follow and hopefully then white house aides say in short order after he returns to the united states they can get this legislation done. >> let's turn to the latest with covid-19 where new coronavirus cases plummet nationwide. the united states is now averaging roughly 70,000 new cases per day. that's a 20% drop the past two weeks. >> great news. >> the number of people dying from the virus is still high. about 1,400 each day. but represents a 15% drop over the same period. that number has steadily decreased throughout the fall. that is good news. >> and

haugen in the united states and europe. what do you think the prospects are for totally different ways of regulating disseminators of disinformation, not just facebook but all of them. >> very much so and i think you're right, miles is right, regulation will probably occur overseas first, and the business models of all of these platforms, including facebook, build in a certain presumption of an unregulated industry. it has been the secret of their success. look, i think facebook, though, the one argument that does land with a lot of people is this. any engagement, knowing engagement and amplification of otherwise criminal behavior certainly should be regulated and certainly should be subject to prosecution. but the broader context of this, and i'm sympathetic to this, is with all of the amplification, all the engagement in hate speech, in lies, who bears responsibility? because in many ways, this debate we're having as a nation about regulating facebook is also us as a society looking at our own selves in the mirror. i mean

also showing support for different things president macron wants to do, like strengthening europe's defense capabilities in the future. it's something blinken showed support for when they met. >> meeting for biden and macron scheduled in europe later this month. the president will be over there, his second overseas trip for g-20 in rome and then the climate meeting in scotland. also, president xi will not be there, taking a little of the heat out of the summit. tell us about the exclusive data axios has about former president trump's post oval office online engagement. what did you guys find? >> as you know well and others watching this show well know, former president trump is no longer on twitter. he desperately wants to be back on twitter. we have some new data provided to axios by news whip, which tracks social networks, engagement with article, things online. it really shows in spite of the different ways that donald trump has tried to put out messages -- he created his own platform of sorts. he's put out messages and emails to look like press releases and statements. there's far less

the president is leaving for europe. they're not getting it done by election day, tuesday, so he has to run on his own merits. >>> washington state's republican secretary of state kim wineman, who pushed back against trump's false claims of fraud in the 2020 election, has been tapped to serve as the biden administration's election of voter security. she will step down on november 19th after accepting the administration's offer to join the department of homeland security's cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency. she will serve as the government's liaison to the states and will be responsible for overseeing the administration's effort to protect future u.s. elections. sam stein, "politico" have some new polling on trust in the u.s. election system, to the point here. what'd you find? >> not good, willie. >> thanks for being with us, sam. we'll be right back. >> bring the kid in. >> yeah. might be better at analysis than me. we measured party lines. as you can imagine, it's split. 77% of democrats say they have tr

we pay three times as much for the same pharmaceuticals as europe. and that's because the biggest purchaser of pharmaceuticals in our country can't negotiate. all their governments negotiate. that's ridiculous. a child tax credit reduced child poverty by half. biggest middle class, working class low income tax cut in the history of the country. people like the elements. we have to start talking about what the elements are and not call it the reconciliation package. >> well, let's call this segment a blueprint and a call to action from a guy who knows from the u.s. senate because he's been there. al franken, friend of this broadcast, thank you very much for joining us from the twin cities tonight. >> thanks, brian. >>> coming up for us, new reporting on how the january 6 committee is bracing for a collision and a legal fight with many of those who thought overturning the election was a good idea, including the guy who sent them down there. m down thee they may have lost an eye, or their hearing, or their youthful good looks. but there's a lot of thing

this was certainly a personal highlight for the president as he begins this nearly week-long tour of europe the first stop being here at the vatican. of it back in 1980 when senator biden met with pope john paul ii and that meeting lasted 40 seconds and being extraordinarily long. today the visit almost twice that length going 75 minutes where the two met privately in the papal library. among the takeaways from the visit, they have developed a personal connection, the president with later visits was asked to pull back the curtain on the visit and said that pope, pope francis, said he was a good catholic and said that he should continue to receive communion, which was notable because many american bishops have sparked controversy saying catholic politicians, including president biden, should not receive communion for their support of abortion rights. andrea? >> and want to bring in george waggle, of course, president biden in meeting with the pope and in passing on that information about communion, that's been a controversy, at least raised political issue here for the president, certainly s

we have one of the largest muslim communities in europe we have the third largest jewish community in the world. we are really very much attached to this diversity. to this tolerance. this is the base of our policy. exactly the contrary to fight against racism. to fight -- base for our society. >> but what does it say, and you probably heard me in the beginning of the segment, i know you have a presidential elections next year, what does it say that most of the prominent candidates is a person who was convicted of racial incitement. he wants to ban muslim names, not french names. and he is a person who is getting a lot of attraction. what does that say about the politics of your country? like someone like this could have such popularity in this current climate? >> for the time being, i think it says only one thing. some candidates, potential candidate, tried to put the question of immigration's in the center and the focus of the political debate. the elections, and thank you for asking about our elections, it would be a very important moment for us, for our democracy, will take place

look for that this week or next before the president heads to europe. thank you all for getting up "way too early" on this wednesday morning. "morning joe," perhaps with a discussion of a bad call at home plate, starts right now. >>> breaking ball just missed. tried to backdoor the breaking ball. we talked about it earlier in the series. five pitches, at least 10% or more, and he throws all of them for strikes. best strike thrower on the roster. >> controversy at fenway in the pivotal ninth inning last night. i suspectre

fact they want to have a framework at least in place before the president does leave for that trip for europe. now only six days away the press secretary confirming he will depart on thursday. so time is ticking. and that's why when the president leaves for delaware tonight the press secretary said he won't be off the clock in any manner this weekend. he's going to continue to be in touch with senators manchin and sinema, we understand it, to really hash out what's left to be resolved here. and in terms of the vice president who was traveling, she did say this was a very unique moment, again, trying to underscore the sense of urgency the administration has right now in trying to finalize this so-called human infrastructure bill. listen. >> so i'm here today to ask people to see this moment for what it is and to step up. we can do this. it is the right thing to do. >> reporter: the president did travel as we saw this week, of course, to scranton, pennsylvania. last night he was in baltimore. really notably, though, next week, garret, he's going to have to craft this message a little bit more f

to talk about how important this moment is for biden's agenda and foreign policy chops as he goes to europe. all of it as "the 11th hour" is just getting under way on this thursday night overlooking the u.s. capitol. when i break a long run i'm talking long long. that's why i use old spice triple protection sweat defense. old spice works harder for longer. hey derrick man, you gonna be much longer? it's gonna be a minute minute. hey derrick, quit playin. derrick! for people living with h-i-v, keep being you. and ask your doctor about biktarvy. biktarvy is a complete, one-pill, once-a-day treatment used for h-i-v in certain adults. it's not a cure, but with one small pill, biktarvy fights h-i-v to help you get to and stay undetectable. that's when the amount of virus is so low it cannot be measured by a lab test. research shows people who take h-i-v treatment every day and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit h-i-v through sex. serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems and kidney failure. rare, life-threatening side effects include a buildup of lactic acid and

they have long played with dictators in europe who they thought were beating back the communists. you can think about charles lindbergh going over to germany in the 1930s and accepting an award from goerring. i think there's more of a religious element now than the worry about keeping bolshevism at bay. but they seem to be drawn again and again, whether it's augusto pinochet in chile. jean kirkpatrick with the junta working for the reagan administration. they are drawn to these forces. it's worrisome only to the -- well, not only to but it's worrisome to the extent that they become this mutual dynamic in i with they're normalizing him and they use him to normalize their own use. you saw that with tucker. he goes over there and says see, what i'm saying isn't so outrageous. white nationalism. anti-immigration. both sides are using the other to normalize their extreme radical and somewhat racist positions. >> and charlie, orban is sort of trump's dream of what he wants to be, right? he's openly white nationalist, anti-immigrant, saying we have to protect our people in hungary, that

they did it -- i guess in europe, but the pfizer vaccine available in the u.s., is not fda approved. it's got emergency use authorization. >> absolutely not true. like you're probably watching that at home thinking, no i don't think that's true. i'm pretty sure i've heard about the actual authorization. 100% wrong. the pfizer vaccine, received full fda approval back in august of this year. it was a big deal. it was the front page of the newspapers. they covered and all the news. it's proof, individual 16 agent. over it's now being marketed, under the name, community. which is not the name i would've chosen, but that's not my job to choose those names. so i honestly, i watch this a few, times i don't know for sure, if ron johnson is just confused an adult that can't quite get there with the new name of the drug. or if he's just lying. but tucker carlson, who works in news. doesn't seem to care one way or the other. and, listen to me, do not underestimate how many lives are being pumped into people watching these shows. media matters on the. numbers they shared new stutter with us it w
