house, these groups that were working outside of the white house, the trump campaign, these other groups stopped steal, other organizations that could perhaps build this case of a coordinated effort to try to drum up all of this angst across the country related to the election that then served as the precursor to what p happened on january 6th. clark did show up to be interviewed by the january 6th select committee but once in the room he doesn't answer questions. he couldn't because of executive privilege and attorney client privilege, a lot of legal experts believe those claims probably don't have a lot of merit. the committee is taking the step and will move quickly with a business meeting. it could be voted on the house floor as soon as thursday and will be in the hands of the department of justice. >> i want to ask you moving this forward more because we're waiting to hear ryan from the national archives and have to turnover the records from the white house. tomorrow the appeals court will hear the former president's case so what do you expect there? >> yes, so this is a key step in

they have to turn over the records from the white house. tomorrow the appeals court will hear the former president's case. so what do you expect there? >> yeah. so this is a key step in this collection of information that the january 6th committee is hoping to do. they're looking for hundreds, maybe thousands of pieces of documents from the trump white house in and around january 6th. and this is an appeal of a lower court ruling in which the court said that the national archives can hand that information over to the select committee. but trump and his legal team immediately appealed that decision. this will be a three-judge panel that will hear this case. two of these judges are obama appointees. the other one is a biden appointee, so it's not a very good draw in terms of the former president and his hopes. and one of these judges actually already ruled in a case relating to executive privilege in don mcgahn and wrote a very harsh opinion as it relates to executive privilege and what the trump white house believed it had at that time. and

once the infrastructure deal passed, the white house held a bipartisan signing of the bill. but it happened during the closing arguments of the rittenhouse trial and they had to sort of switch back and forth. biden's speech today was around 3:00 in the afternoon. do they need to rethink their whole messaging strategy? 3:00 in the afternoon, people are at work. they're not paying attention. maybe they want to get it for the evening news, but it's certainly not fresh in the places where people are talking and having these conversations about what the president is actually doing. >> well, you know, there's a reason that nike used that swoosh thing more than once. mcdonald's seems to be hung up on those golden arches. repetition is everything in advertising. it would be a disaster if the democrats, if the white house did this for a week or two and moved on to something else. this is a very big deal. it's $1.5 trillion. that's a lot of money, and they've got to just keep at this. it's not going to work right away. it never does. but you keep repeating it. you keep pointing it out

the white house saying the bill is fully paid for and will reduce the deficit. how does that square from the cbo? that's not what they're saying. >> that's right. it's a difference that they believe is kind of both -- i mean, it's a lot of money, no matter which way you look at it. but over ten years, they're telling moderates, look, this is sort of a negligible impact on the budget deficit. the difference between the two ways of counting this is that the white house believes they'll get a lot more money from tax cheats than the congressional budget office says. so it's all about how much money you're going get from people and corporations who aren't paying taxes that should pay taxes. >> yeah. >> and the white house is saying, you know, this is deficit neutral because we're going get more money than the budget office thinks we're going get. that's where the discrepancy comes in. >> $367 billion in the deficit over a decade according to the summary, a net increase of the deficit. >> that's right, that's right. >> but that doesn't include -- they're not counting

house visit -- visitor records, call logs of trump and pence. what kind of information could be in those records that the former president doesn't want the committee to see? >> well, i think it will show two things. number one, it probably shows that there was some level of planning that was involved in the insurrection that happened on january 6th. it wasn't just a random chance that a bunch of, you know, losers with, you know, bear mace happened to show up on january 6th. and also, shows probably the same time that the president and his people were trying to cover up the aftereffects of that or -- or trying to -- which we kind of seeing now -- were trying to delay the deployment of forces to actually, you know, rescue the members of congress from -- from the lynchmobs that were out there. >> yeah. so let's talk about "the

what can we learn from these white house records? who knows, there's a whole bevy of things. >> yeah, we know what the committee is interested, right? we know the committee is interested in piecing together the buildup to january 6th, the plotting and plan and who was involved with that and how close did that get to president trump, and was he directly involved in any way, the day itself, everything that was going on around the president on the 6th of january. and of course the aftermath. and so we know that they're interested in finding out sort of precisely through those days leading up and the day of of the president's movements, who was around him, what were those conversations taking place. and you mentioned, you know, it is up to the current president to assert privilege, and joe biden made a really big decision a couple weeks ago when he came to the conclusion that he was not going to assert privilege. now, we know and the white house asserted again today in a statement, don, that joe biden is committed to a full accounting of

is the white house doing a good job selling this given how low biden's approval rating is? >> i think they've only had a day to sell it. when you buy a car, what you hate is paying for it. the sticker shock. what you enjoy is driving it around. they've only been driving this car around for a day. when i see what the white house is doing, coordinating all these different parts of government to go out and sell this, i think it's going to be possible. i think it will work, and i think one of the more telling things are how many republicans who voted against it are already starting to brag about what their states are going to get and their districts are going to get. which shows, you know, people like when you spend money and buy stuff that they care about. biden is right, people care about stuff like bridges. it saves people's lives. >> the signing of the bill happened during the rittenhouse trial. biden's speech was around 3:00 in the afternoon. do they need to rethink their whole messaging strategy. 3:00 in the afternoon, people are at work. they're not paying attention. may

congressman ronny jackson, remember, he was -- let me remind you he's a doctor for the former white house physician for the former guy, he is tweeting this. this is what he tweeted. here come the mev, the midterm election variant. they need a reason to push unsolicited nationwide mail in ballots. democrats will do anything to cheat during an election but we're not going to let them. again, a doctor trying to turn this variant into just another opportunity to push the big lie and focus the election fraud. he's not the only one. >> you can count on a variant about every october, every two years. >> okay. so obviously, not only is that a lie, it literally makes no sense. a new and concerning variant is not going to help democrats at the ballot box. a variant that came to light in southern africa for you geography nerds out there is not in the united states so just to be absolutely clear, right, just to be absolutely clear, this new variant is not some kind of diabolical plot by democrats. so let's review. republicans had nothing to say when they pushed lies and deadly misinformation about co

white house. phil? >> reporter: you noted you were watching this extremely closely. so is everybody here. the president and his top a advisers as well as vice president kamala harris have been watching and making calls over the course of the last several hours. it's been a lengthy day trying to figure out some kind of path forward and lay things out in terms of where the white house was on this. jess gave you the play-by-play on where the hill has been. you track back to 8:30 a.m. this morning, and the white house got the kind of news that you would think could turn this into a monumental day. jobs numbers that were better than expected. 531,000 jobs added. unemployment rate going from 4.8% to 4.6%. with the very clear goal to have both of the president's two-piece, $3 trillion domestic agenda through the u.s. house by tonight. of course, as the hours moved on, that started to fall apart. six moderates in particular making clear to nancy pelosi, to white house officials that were physically in the

so, bringing that average up and delivering more good news for this white house that is trying to dig its way out of this post-pandemic economy. something that president biden made clear in his remarks on the jobs report. not only tying it to that economic agenda that he is trying to get passed through capitol hill. but also, the america -- the american rescue plan that he pa passed earlier-this year. saying it is proof that is working and also proof the u.s. is picking its way out of the latest coronavirus surge. as white house officials saying they were confident it would bounce back and they are not over focusing on any one month in the jobs report. but looking at the broader picture. this jobs report also showed that the unemployment rate dropped to 4.6%. of course, that is from 4.8% but also much further from that 6% level we had been seeing previously. though, it did show the labor participation rate did not change much. it was essentially flat from september to october. that is a number that, of course, employers are watching closely. hoping that this is a number that picks up.

. >>> former trump white house chief strategist steve bannon turning himself in today. charged with contempt of congress for refusing to appear for a deposition and refusing to hand over documents requested by the january 6th committee. but bannon is not going quietly. >> this is going to be the misdemeanor from had hell for merrick garland, nancy pelosi and joe biden. joe biden ordered america garland to prosecute me from the white house lawn when he got off marine one. we are going to go on the offense. we are tired of playing defense. we are going on the offense on this and stand by. >> i mean, what are you gonna do? some hair, too, right? bannon was released from custody pending trial. cnn's justice correspondent evan perez. here we go again. he is turning this into a circus as one would expect. he was live-streaming outside the courthouse today. he is facing up to one year in jail for each count. is this all a game to him? >> look, it's a production. as you pointed out, he showed up live-streaming from, in front of the fbi, the local fbi office where he turned hims

court of appeals hit pause on turning over the white house documents to the committee. what is the timeline? friday they were already in the process. when will we know? >> we are looking now at possibly december before this court rules. i will show you the briefing schedule which begins november 22 is the first brief from the trump team. the committee is on the 22nd and then the 30th is oral arguments. we assume whoever loses will go to the supreme court to get them to weigh in. for this committee, the clock is ticking. they want to see the 700 documents or so that they say is key to this investigation and they want to see it soon. democrats know they are looking at possibly losing the house and then this investigation would probably not continue. >> what a mess. thank you very much. >>> the former president getting the delay he wanted, but it is a temporary victory. so now what? o protect the environment. in partnership with the national forest foundation, subaru and our retailers are proud to help replant 1 million trees to help restore our forests. subaru. more than

so much to discuss now with cnn white house correspondent john hartman and former u.s. attorney harry litman. i love having you guys on. good evening. good to see you. >> good evening. >> this has become a major stand-off between meadows and the select committee. what can you tell us? >> what we know is that donald trump has no interest in the truth, in the rule of law, or the integrity of american democracy. that attitude filters down to his team. we saw that in their conduct after the election. we saw it on the january 6th insurrection. and now we see it in their blanket resistance to the congressional inquiry here. what they're trying to do, throw up legal obstacles, try to drag out the effort to drag them in for testimony as long as possible, if they're shut out the first time they try to appeal. if they show up, not talk, and count on the fact that the justice department may not be very fast to bring criminal contempt proceedings, you know, you were talking the last hour with mark meadows -- sorry -- john dean and making the analogy to dean's testimony against nixo

and i think the white house is starting to realize they need to start doing a better job telling their story. >> speaking of that. i heard you agreeing with him saying uh-huh but we talked about ronny jackson. what about ron desantis. he's an example to protect floridians with another lockdown. to be clear, president biden is saying lockdowns are off the table for now. and, you know, his strategy for this winter doesn't include shut downs or lockdowns, just more politics. >> no. of course it is. he'll protect people in florida for something from something that isn't going to happen. but it's one of the rules, the unfortunate rules of modern politics in this arena in which we live right now which is if you have somebody like governor desantis say something like that enough, people who are listening will start to believe it and potentially believe that the president is considering lockdowns, which he said explicitly today when asked at the white house the answer is no. things could change but that is in nobody's interest because we are at the point where unless this variant or another va

john, the january 6th committee is demanding the former white house chief of staff mark meadows appear for a deposition tomorrow or face contempt of congress. does that even have any teeth without a ruling from merrick garland on steve bannon's contempt charge? >> it -- it makes it difficult to have teeth when it looks like a pass at the committee is a pass. i think that garland at some point will take action on bannon. they may be considering civil remedies as well as the criminal referral they've got. but i just don't think they can let it pass. another thing, don, i'm not terribly concerned about this delay. there are a massive amount of material not even been transferred to the archives that's very relevant to this inquiry. there are 100 million e-mails that are still in the executive office building that belong to the trump team, and those are being sent over in traunches to the archives. they've got to be sorted and examined. that's a lot of e-mail, 100 million. so that process is going to go forward during this down time while this is proceeding in court. >> listen, your testimo

and people who are inside the white house on the day of january 6th. not major players on the staff but people who were near the president and were able to observe what he was doing, who he was talking to. those are really important witnesses. >> i also want to get your take on the new 10 subpoenas from the january 6th select committee today including members of the former president's inner circle like stephen miller, kayleigh mcenany. there's a list and photos up on the screen right now. i mean, these are people who were having conversations with trump in the hours leading up to the insurrection and during and after, right? what are the most important questions they need to answer, do you think? >> well, those are the highlight names, right? the stephen millers, the kayleigh mcenanies, those folks that were really in important positions in the administration, in direct conversation with the president as i said not just on january 6th but in the days and weeks leading up to it. there are many, many questions you want to ask them about this topic and co

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

who was at the white house on those days? who are they making phone calls to? what other forms of communication? that could all be in these documents. they take those documents. they then connect them to the interviews, the depositions that they're holding. that's how they're going to start to build a case. and from there, that's where they get to the bottom of how to prevent something like january 6th from ever happening again. >> ryan nobles with the breaking news for us. thank you very much. i appreciate that. >>> joining me now is a former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe. he is now a cnn senior law enforcement analyst and the author of the book "the threat: how the fbi protects america in the age of terror and trump." this is right up your alley, this breaking news. i really appreciate you joining us. give me your reaction to tonight's breaking news, trump losing his executive privilege case. >> you know, i think it's a victory for common sense. i think if you read the judge's opinion, don, it's quite clear. if i could just read you one piece of language

right now we're bogged down and act like we can't lead the white house, the house and senate and that is very difficult for any state candidate to win in a nationalized election. >> many democrats, liam, are pointing to all the talk of critical race theory and the culture wars as a reason why youngkin won but wasn't it much more than that? parents were angry about their kids being out of school for so long and, you know, how all of that was handled. there a number of things. >> to your point, don, crt is something you can pick out and talk about at length but i think this is a term that was a stand in for all kinds of other frustrations. i'm a northern virginia parent. we kept our kids switch schools for that reason. there is all kinds of frustration and this is something that tapped into it and captured as a catch all a lot of things that were going out there in the electret. it's not just about crt, even in new jersey they weren't talking about crt but property taxes. the uniform shift across the country, across the states was there. if you had an r next to your name last night you

house visitor and call logs and three handwritten memos from ex-white house chief of staff mark meadows. how important are these records to this investigation? >> pretty big. visitor and call logs are standard. but we don't really have that information otherwise. and meadows seems increasingly at the center. this is from the other witnesses. the big game that's going on here, don, is a carrot and stick. they have 150 people who are cooperating with them lest they have this fate, and what they are telling them, so say news reports anyway, is that meadows really figures integrally. so to get his handwritten notes, that could be a pretty good first harvest. of course, as you say, 40 pages of some 770 and those -- additional ones are due to be turned over november 26th. >> if this ends up, harry, at the supreme court, do you think they will even take this case on? >> you know, i think she is right. but on the other hand, your correspondent is right that there are some not very well decided issues. i think chutkan got it exactly right, that when push comes to shove, biden has to decide. but

since 1970 the party out of power out of the white house has won every time expect in 2013 when terry mcauliffe won the state after president obama's re-election. >> we can't get this tdone unles we keep this positive momentum going. >> reporter: this time the headwinds facing democrats are strong. with a parade of party stars visiting over the last month. tonight more than 1.1 million virginians have voted casting ballots early. aides to both campaigns tell cnn they expect a record turn dwrout for the governor's race. the race has emerge pd as a proxy war for the popularity of the current president and the former one. >> that's what you got with glen trumpkin. >> donald trump set to call in that rally after praising youngkin saying we get along. hope to woo independent voters, terry mcauliffe has tied to tie youngkin to trump. >> they are trying to run down the democracy of this country and we will not tolerate it. >> reporter: youngkin has walked a careful line on the trump tightrope, trying to energize the former president's loyal followers without alienating independents. he is ta

house and the select committee that the public interest is much more important. we'll have to see if that extends to bringing some of these people in front of the committee as well, don. >> and also that the current president gets to decide what can be released or not and who has executive privilege. the former president doesn't override that. ryan, i want you to stand by because i want to bring in cnn senior legal analyst preet bharara, a former u.s. attorney. you can answer i'm sure some of the questions i asked to ryan, what this means. first of all, good evening to you again. >> yeah. >> give me your reaction to this news about trump losing executive in this case. >> the two of you had it exactly right. on every point that was in contention with respect to the release of these documents from the national archives, the judge ruled in favor of the 1/6 panel. i think we have talked about previously that at a hearing, the judge seemed very convinced that the bulk of the documents should be released because of legislative purpose, because executive privilege was w

the white house today saying that republicans are lying about crt. >> but we also need to be honest here about what's going on here. republicans are lying. they're not being honest. they're not being truthful about where we stand, and they're cynically trying to use our kids as a political football. >> so, the gop is already ramping up, you know, to take the strategy that succeed in the virginia nationwide. >> we will soon unroll a parents bill of rights. you have a right to know what's being taught in school. you have a right to participate. education is the great equalizer. we're all created equal, and we're going to make sure we make that happen across this country. >> let me just say something. republicans are very good at messaging. but they're also very good at overplaying their hands. and that is a changer here for them. and it looks like kevin mccarthy is about to overplay his hand. but, having said that, democrats, read the room. read the room. there's a mirror. i don't have it here. hold up a mirror. because that manufactured outrage over critical race theory -- that's what it

he was not a white house staffer. i mean, there is really no privilege here. he is obviously on the wrong side of the -- the law here. meadows has a stronger argument. my suspicion is that they would rather not be if the position that bannon i think is trying to maneuver himself into, which is as anna suggested, to be sort of a totem for, you know, this whole movement. i don't think that is in the best interest, professionally, of people like mr. meadows and others and probably not what they are angling for. one of the ways they could have potentially cured this was show up, answer some questions, and try to invoke privilege on others and try to work with the committee. that's something that's been done in the past to try to avert these sorts of situations. so, i don't know what the ultimate end game is for him. but my recommendation is try to not be indicted if you can avoid it, if at all possible. >> yeah. good advice, scott jennings! okay. so listen. >> hey, i am not a lawyer or anything but that's just my outside looking in. >> but -- but you play one on t

we're trying to find a link between the white house and violence we saw that day. any correlation to the infamous phrase of stand back and stand by? what do you think? >> yeah, well, so i think you hit the nail on the head, laura. it's the second in two days and yesterday both of them for the first time were people who really were involved in the planning, the organization, the coordination as opposed to actually being there and storming the parts. it's a fair supposition that the committee thinks that the people who were subpoenaed today have some kind of connection to the shadow figures of alex jones and roger stone and who are they? they are exactly the people who operate as a bridge between three percenters and terrorists on the one hand and trump and his circle on the other. so i think this shows they're going not only at organization coordination and funding, funding by the very big part here and there is no way the groups themselves could have done it. between those functions and potential involvement by the actual, you know, inner circle and the epicenter t

since 1970, the party out of power in the white house has won every time, except once in 2013 when mcauliffe narrowly carried the state after president obama's re-election. >> we can't get this done unless we keep this positive momentum going. >> reporter: this time, the political headwinds facing democrats are strong even with a parade of party stars visiting over the last month. tonight, more than 1.1 million virginians have already voted casting their ballots early. aides to both campaigns tell cnn they expect a record turnout for a governor's race with most of the electorate voting on tuesday. the race has emerged as a proxy war for the popularity of the current president and the former one. >> that's what you get with glenn trumpkin. >> with donald trump set to call into a rally tonight after praising youngkin in a new statement saying, we get along very well together and strongly believer in many of the same policies. hoping to whoo independent voters, mcauliffe has repeatedly tried tying youngkin to trump. >> donald trump and glenn youngkin are trying to run down the democracy of this

>> well, in my experience when i was in the senate when one party controlled the white house and also both houses of congress, they tend to get ahead of their skis. h they started to go too far and tend not to listen to the other side and get too much in their heads. i think the package is way too big from the beginning. that caused, frankly the inability of congress to get their act together. it forced the moderates to dig in their heels. i think initially it is too big. the same party is in power. it happens. but now the time has come. president needs to get the leaders in a room, sit down. lock the door. get a deal here on infrastructure and on a big package. i think that is what presidents do and should do and that is what i think joe biden should do. >> i was having a conversation with jon meacham last night saying export pressure, and that is what the american people want. they want things to get done. the buck stops here, right, at his desk in the oval office. senator boxer, a key player in getting anything passed is senator joe manchin. this is on cnn earlier today. >> i think

the privilege extends to the white house, you know, the institution of the white house, now, it gets a little bit complicated because back in the 1970s, there was an open question as to whether nixon held it or ford did and so on. here because president trump, as a former president has at least attempted to assert privilege there's a legal question as to what extent should a court credit that and consider it. there's a dispute here between these two presidents and also what the former president trump seems to be saying in his brief is, look, biden and congress are in cahoots and they're all aligned against me, therefore my argument has more merit. he's got a little bit of a point in that, yes, as a former president he has a say in the matter, but still it appears that it's ultimately president biden's call. >> it almost feels like he's calling it a witch hunt by any other name at this point in time. we have heard this before, and you know, a federal appeals court will hear oral arguments next week, and trump was denied in the earlier ruling, the judge said presidents are not kings, a

. >> my experience when i was in the senate when one party controls both the white house and the congress, they started to go too much and too far and tend not to listen, get too much in their heads. i think some of that is happening here. i think that is the package is way too big and that caused frankly the inability of congress to get together because that forced moderates to dig in. and it's natural. i do think it's too big because of same bipartisan power. now frankly, the president sits down oh, i am locking the door, we are not leaving until we get a deal here, both on infrastructure and the big package. that's what presidents should do and joe biden should do. >> i had a conversation with jon meacham. a key player of getting anything passed is senator joe manchin. i want you to listen to what he talks about the about on cnn. >> i think we cut all the same calls and i think joe biden is a moderate, i think he understands and he wants to sit down. he did it for 36 years. people who worked with him are still in the senate now. tell me that joe biden is great to work with. he was alwa

and mansion's concerns about inflation, the white house saying that 17 noble prize winning economists have said the bill will reduce inflation. the house speaker nancy pelosi pointing out the treasury secretary janet yellen says it will boost the economy that tends to push inflation down, not up. mansion says he needs more time to consider the social spending bill. but the house weighs and means committee chair richard neal isn't buying that. watch. >> i don't know how you can make the argument of slowing down a piece of legislation that's been out there for more than 2.5 months from the weighs and means committee. the argument that you don't know what's in the bill at this stage, i could do it in verse and rhyme. >> it will be cards of the table for joe mansion. corey bush saying joe mansion doesn't get to ding ctate the future of the country and the build back better act is anti black, anti child, anti woman and anti immigrant. that is from representative corey bush. while his party is scramquabbli over his agenda, president joe biden in an extraordinary moment at the u.n. climate s

i want to bring in cnn contributor john dean, former nixon white house counsel, the perfect guest to have on regarding this. thank you, john. good to see you. >> good to see you, don. >> we're talking about people who were reportedly in the oval office in those meetings or working to overturn the election on various fronts. you know the stakes. your testimony in the watergate investigation toppled a president. with the january 6th investigation, we're talking about an ex-president here, will anyone in trump's inner circle show some backbone and testify or turn over documents , or do you expect all of them to stonewall and do what steve bannon is doing? >> i have no idea. from what i've learned about all those players over the years, i think there's one that might. bill stepien might be the kind of person to stand up and tell the truth about what happened. he's basically a data guy, but i'm also told he's a very normal human being and not a wingnut, not a crazy, and a very sound person. he might well decide the truth will set him free, and he's absolutely right if he chooses that rout

house and was pressing him did he have any restrictions on the investigation and he said no, no, no restrictions at all. he said it's sensitive, i can't talk about it. it was a very enlightening exchange and i went back to see if he was really focussing on the january 6th investigation because the clips didn't show that. i went -- the written transcript shows that's exactly what he was focussing on and he was trying to say listen, just let me run this. i have an investigation going on and there are no restrictions. so that to me was heartening and i think it should encourage people. this is a man who is a career justice official, the justice department took great offense when the first watergate special prosecutor was appointed because they thought they could handle it intermly. they might have been able to. i'm not sure they would have or could have but they might have and they certainly had in the professional ranks the ability to do so. they do today. so the normal course of procedure is to not create a special counsel and to keep it as a normal investigation quietly proceed in f

but today, the attorney for one of the men compared a prayer rally outside the white house to -- and i am quoting here -- a public lynching. >> this is why a public lynching looks like in the 21st century. just because they haven't put a gallery up -- they haven't put a podium up outside with a hangman's noose on it doesn't mean that this isn't a trial despite the best efforts of this court -- this isn't a trial that's been infected by mob violence of a woke-left mob. >> i caagain, the politics. that's why you got to be careful when you embrace that whole, like, you know, woke is going too far because those -- people who co-opt that are doing it for a reason. don't fall for the okeydoke. a public lynching, right? especially, considering what happened to ahmaud arbery. that man's client -- his client was not the one who was chased down and shot to death in broad daylight. and it's disgraceful for him to compare a prayer vigil to a lynching. i think we can all see what's going on here. this is the attorney who said i am -- and i am quoting here, again -- we don't want any more black pa

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

but it's the latest sign the white house is acutely focused on the political fallout from inflation, causing anxiety in the american economy. >> the big part of the reason americans are facing high gas prices is because oil producing countries and large companies have not ramped up the supply of oil quickly enough to meet the demand. >> reporter: he ordered the release of 50 million barrels of oil from the strategic reserve. and the u.s. getting commitment from five other countries, the uk, china, india, and south korea, agreeing to open their reserves to help combat soaring oil prices. >> this will help us deal with the lack of supply which helps ease prices. >> reporter: it's an open question whether the move will make gas prices fall over the holiday season, ahead of the critical midterm elections. but the president's decision also highlights the challenges facing the u.s. and the world, to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and combat climate change. >> i want to address one myth about inflated gas prices. they're not due to environmental measures. my effort to combat climate ch
