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

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

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

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

, 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

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

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

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

, 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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,

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

course we know there's increasing pressure given the fact the president is supposed to be leaving from europe a week from today, not to mention heading to a major un climate summit where he hoped to tout progress on that particular part of the bill that is now in peril. or we just don't know how much money is ultimately going to be dedicated to that and whatever the final legislation looks like. the white house will also tell you these conversations continue. they're talking out wardly about progress. but there is a sense of frustration that simply the action needs to happen now, that the time for talk is over and past. and notably the deputy press secretary was asked do you believe senators manchin and sinema are negotiating in good faith. the white house saying yes they still believe that but refusing to answer when senator sinema gave them heads up about her opposition to this corporate tax rate shift, something that had been a pillar of the plan. we're waiting to hear about those details. something that perked up my ears and would your ears is we don't need congress, we can do things on o

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

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

instead of sticking around to hammer out a deal she has left the country for a fund-raising trip in europe. her spokesman said sinema has continued to speak with president biden and her senate colleagues adding "phones and fax work everywhere." i mean, sure. true. still, it's pretty weird behavior for a u.s. senator. i mean, just here's an example of of what you could be doing. look at, say, her colleague chris murphy. chris murphy is spending his recess doing his annual walk across the entire state of connecticut, meeting with people and talking to constituents across the political spectrum and all walks of life and listening to their concerns because he represents them. that's a thing you can do with your recess. one idea. now, on top of all this reuters is reporting that at an online meeting sinema told fellow democrats in the house of representatives this week she will not vote for a multitrillion-dollar package that is a top priority for president joe biden, before congress approves a $1 trillion infrastructure bill. so my question for senator sinema is this. what are you doing here?

>> in europe the president gave a thumb's up on commitments from the senators. yes. i wanted to be sure that i vote for an agreement. not just an aspiration. i have been concerned that neither of those senators and a few members in the house clear what they were willing to agree to. if we can come to a final vote in the house on tuesday or thereafter this week, i would just want to be sure it will be adopted in the senate and not agreeing to something and then see the negotiations start all over again to drive it found further. the other issue that's pending, i have the companion bill in the house to the prescription drug bill which is a much better approach on this, i'm glad he is still focused on this. you can tell that there's negotiation in progress. so i still -- i have not made a final commitment but it's important on prescription drugs that we get measure than nominal negotiation. the bill that we began with was weak. it excluded two thirds of drugs. now some who are very closely aligned with the pharmaceutical industry want to narrow it further. you can get t

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

we have not spent much time on the history of the nazis and the holocaust in europe. very few topics are clarified with comparisons to nazis. but neo-nazis compare themselves to nazis. they are the modern nazis. they are the ones quoting kamu in their marches. that day in charlottesville is when many people in america heard a direct reference to replacement theory. >> you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. >> you will not replace us! you will not replace us! you will not replace us! >> those neo-nazis take this replacement hatred literally, as do some recent mass murderers who killed 50 people in the jewish mosque or the el paso people who killed 20 people in a walmart. those murderers invoked this conspiracy theory by name. the el paso shooter wrote a ndiaye -- diatribe claiming it to be the great replacement. the hispanic community was not my target before i read the great replacement. kamu said he rejected that violence. he still welcomes how his ideas are spreading, noting he does not object to people seeing me what he calls ethnic substitut

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

president biden did formally delay this planned morning departure to europe for the g20 that was today which seems like a sign that's spending negotiations are getting close, maybe. today was a policy roll are coaster, progressives and this group of holdout democrats made what could be the final moves in the march to pass this giant spending package so crucial to biden's opening plans for his administration and according to the president crucial for america. now what is the president telling us? why is it like i said to be just honest and transparent with you hard to interpret in he combines sort of the victorious language of historic, the well worn washington caveat of a framework implying no final written legislation. >> after months of tough and thoughtful negotiations, i think we have an historic, i know we have historic economic framework. no one got everything they wanted, including me, but that's what compromise is. that's consensus and that's what i ran on. >> no one got everything they wan-ted, biden almost dipping into past tense this is ending because he's won and there are

about the pandemic, about the role of the united states and europe in the world, so these are still his objectives. they are just a little bit undermined or undercut by the complicated reality of the mess in washington and the global pandemic and climate change that is proceeding unabated. >> i want to read some of the reporting ashley is talking about. one of the key abductions to shifting away from oil has been the costs but the president has been making the climb that nature is already exacting a price. president obama is also going to lend a hand to this agenda. the obama foundation is going to be sort of coming in and undergirding that message. i wonder if you think that this issue with all corners of our country, seeing this extreme weather from flooding in new york city and new jersey to rampant fires in places that have never burned in california. if you think this might be soft of part of that. >> i absolutely do. i mean, the evidence is in the tex dream that we're seeing when you see this nation from coast to coast, all facing weather emergencies, things that don't happen at t

recently that facebook wants to double down on the metaverse and they're going to hire 10,000 engineers in europe to work on the metaverse. wow, do you know what we could have done with safety if we had 10,000 more engineers? it would be amazing. >> while twitter may be tone deaf to some, the brand stock continues to climb. so what are we to make of this? if shareholders don't care that facebook is too big or that it has a coercive effect on a public discourse or that it fuels the spread of misinformation, should we be surprised that facebook is doubling down on ideas that make shareholders happy? i'll ask my panel when we come back. don't go anywhere. panel when we e back don't go anywhere. they need customized car insurance from liberty mutual so they only pay for what they need. what do you say we see what this bird can do? woooooooooooooo... we are not getting you a helicopter. looks like we're walking, kid. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ when you really need to sleep you reach for the really good stuff. new zzzquil ultra helps you sleep better and lon

in europe, european countries on average supplement childcare to the tune of $14,000 per child. and our country, $500 per child. we -- people want childcare so they can go to work. people want to work. and it is so expensive to have quality childcare. people want to know they can leave their kids with somebody who is in a safe environment, where they're being nurtured, where people know how to do child education. we need to do these things. that's what's the curator this is. is getting this done. and that's why, my quorum a colleagues have to get this done, and the sooner the better. >> i'll franken, thank you for having us in, as always greatly appreciated you spending some time with us on monday night. coming up for us, why some republicans are worried the only twice impeached retiree in the entire state of florida, could actually cost the party he controls. seats in congress. we'll explain. congress. we'll explain. comfortable, dually-adjustable, foot-warming, temperature-balancing, proven quality night sleep we've ever made. save up to $800 on sleep number 360 smart beds. -

and that leaves biden in europe for a big climate change summit without congressional signoff on his climate agenda. it leaves the white house without a key victory at a moment where they badly need some wins as the president's approval ratings continue to decline. and it leaves democrats in virginia twisting in the wind in a governor's race where republicans seem to have all the momentum. a new fox poll out of virginia has glen youngkin up 8 points. eight points of terry mcauliffe. that poll is an outlier, but even if the poll is off by ten, it's still a tossup race. and tossup is where the new washington post poll has this contest. this is a dead heat. and there's also the political reality facing democrats that passing a huge piece of legislation ahead of a president's first midterm cycle isn't always the political life preserver the party in power hopes it will be. democrats found that out the hard way after passing the affordable care act and then republicans learned the sam lesson after signing in trump's tax reforms. the party in power got hammered hard in the following midter

and europe will impose more sanctions, and that the u.s. will have to look to other measures to try and counter the iranian nuclear program. it really is the last chance with these talks, alex. very, very difficult. to give an example, iranians so far have not agreed to talk directly to the u.s., but through intermediaries. so just getting to the stage where they talk directly to each other is difficult, never mind getting to a new deal. >> tell you it is so delicate. what do you expect to happen, keir, with regard to now, i guess it's end of november. right? there's about a month for all of this, it's going to be sorted out. is there any expectation that iran will eventually talk directly with the united states, given the next few weeks of being able to put something together? >> reporter: yeah. look, if november really is the date. because iran, in the time since these talks restarted, it's had an election. the new more hard-line president. so iran, many people think, is not in a mood to compromise. certainly some of the things iran has b

was going to say, dave, ironically, the toughest legislation may come from europe or california. the weakness could be the federal government, right? >> that's right, but i think even as states like california move this direction, we're not going to see a let-up in washington for there to be some kind of national regulation of data privacy and some of these other questions about online safety. the united states is an outlyer in the western world of not having a comprehensive national law and even an agency that could regulate these questions in a really comprehensive way. there is very little in terms of a national privacy law or regulation. >> ten years ago people ran for office claiming there would be a digital bill of rights. we're still waiting for that digital bill of rights. let me switch quickly to facebook and what type of crisis management they're in right now. i know they're going to try to rename the company. they don't like to be compared to big tobacco. we don't like it, let's go by el tryo. there's still tobacco. >> wall street still loves facebook as a company, as

in europe, european countries on average supplement child care to the tune of $14,000 per child. in our country, $500 per child. people want child care so they can go to work. people want to work. and it's so expensive now to have quality child care. people want to know they can leave their kid with somebody who is in a safe environment, where they're being nurtured, where people know how to do early childhood education. this is -- we need to do these things. that's what the cure to this is getting this done. and that's why my former colleagues have to get this done and the sooner the better. >> al franken, thank you for having us in. as always, greatly appreciate you spending some time with us on this monday night. >> thank you. >>> coming up for us, why some republicans are worried the only twice impeached retiree in the entire state of florida could actually cost the party he controls seats in congress. we'll explain. if you're turning 65 soon or over 65 and planning to retire... now's the time to learn more about an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan from unitedhealthcar

the "new york times" is reporting while this big reconciliation bill is in europe, she is in europe for a fundraising trip? >> right. "new york times" reporting that she is in paris fundraising for the democratic senatorial committee. we have not heard back from her campaign. but like virginia, arizona is one of those states where these individuals so much is being looked at. and kyrsten sinema is not up for re-election until 2024, but this is the conversation that we'll be having. yes, mark kelly will be up first in 2022. we don't expect a primary challenge against mark kelly. but everybody's eyes right now on are on 2024 and kyrsten sinema, and the congressman from phoenix continuing to look at him. there were calls for him to run against mark kelly two years ago. and serious conversations looking a male latino veteran running in a primary against kyrsten sinema as you see her approval numbers going down. and at the same i'm is that going to pass an infrastructure bill? we don't know. >> vaughn hillyard covering it all for us. good to see you. >>> coming up here, new pledges from face

. >> democrats are anxious to get the bill passed before president biden travels to europe for the global climate summit next week. scaling back his aggressive climate change plan could have a negative impact on his standing there. >> i think the most unfortunate part about losing the provisions of reconciliation bill is that it weakens joe biden's hands in glasgow, the climate meeting that's coming up because if we're going to get the rest of the world to take serious steps to remedy this problem, we've got to do it ourselves. >> the party's standing with voting also at stake. virginia's democratic candidate terry mcauliffe and virginia phil murthy hope the spending will get things done. house speaker nancy pelosi suggests the house is lookly to vote on both plans before those gubernatorial elections next tuesday. >> i've said already we have 90% of the bill agreed to and written. we just have some of the decisions to be made. it is less than was projected to be begin with, but it's still bigger than anything we've ever done in terms of addressing the needs of america's working families.

whether they know if they've been vaccinated or not, meanwhile tourists are about to be let in from europe starting november. >> absolutely, absolutely. because biden has adopted the steven policy for cruelty, right, the fact that they have a policy that says upon sight i can call black and brown people diseased and expel them from the country but certain countries that i know don't have that same dem graph i go i'm more than willing to let in america. it's abhorrent. and it has to stop. the only way it's going to stop is if the polls that you showed earlier get even deeper in disapproval. we have to have the american people stand up. it is unfair and unjust and inhumane to treat people seeking refuge from us to be treated like this. it's not a crime to apply for asylum in the united states. it's knot a crime to come to our border to help me. the fact he's determined to keep it criminalized is another sad day in america and i don't, politically, i'm not a politician, i'm an attorney. i don't understand how he can do something like this to such vulnerable people who just need our help and p

longer, but they want to have something by the end of the month, so also the president can head to europe and tout the accomplishment. >> absolutely. all right, jonathan lemire at the white house, thank you so much, my friend. >>> a new warning has gone out subpoenaing steve bannon, but what are the chances he'll cave under pressure? t what are the chances he'll cave under pressure or lines for family members, you'll get great value on america's most reliable 5g network. like 2 lines of unlimited for just $27.50 a line. only at t-mobile. they say durable is the new black. okay, no one says that. but, it's true. just ask sharon. after three years these barstools still look brand new. even with these crazy lovebirds.

white house, are there real hopes that a bill, any bill, will be passed before joe biden leaves for europe? >> i think they are. like susan said, they are hopeful. as we've seen over and over and over again, they have the rug pulled out from under them by joe manchin and kyrsten sinema. and so they are cautiously optimistic, right. i think they are pretty sure they are going to get a framework on this reconciliation bill. if they get that, it's possible that progressives will go ahead and say, you know, we feel confident that we agree on this framework. we have the agreement of the very important moderate conservative democrats in the senate. we're willing to go ahead on vote on this infrastructure bill, this bipartisan infrastructure bill in the house. and that's what folks want. and president biden especially as he goes overseas, as they start having talks about climate change worldwide, he has to show that in this country we take it just as seriously as he says. being able to say we have a framework with however many billions of dollars fighting climate change in this reconciliation bil
