meanwhile, the white house, the current white house, president biden's white house said today that mark meadows does not have a legitimate claim to privilege and he should go ahead. so look, i think if you see bannon charged i think you will probably see meadows charged. i wouldn't assume that silence from the doj means nothing is happening. but i think again, until that happens you're going to see people doing things like this. >> jeff, what do you make of the silence from the department of justice on bannon? >> i find it baffling and it looks like dithering to me, frankly. this is a reasonable legally complicated question about whether this should be a criminal contempt case. but it's been almost a month now. it's been more than a month that it's been clear that this issue was coming down the line. they have a lot of smart lawyers at the justice department. the idea that it takes them this long is really pretty shocking to me and it is having a real material impact, as maggie points out. all of these witnesses are yanking the chain of the judiciary -- of the january 6th committee beca

we expect a vote in the house this week. nancy pelosi speaking right now before the white house. she is expected to bring that larger bill to the floor this week assuming the congressional budget office comes back with an estimate that shows this bill is essentially fully paid for, which is what the moderates like sinema and manchin have called for and the house moderates have called for. expect that bill if it comes this week to pass narrowly, if the numbers come back, and then the focus will be on those moderates like sinema and manchin. sinema is expected according to her democratic colleagues to vote for the package. where will someone like joe manchin come down. he did not answer when i asked if this should be delayed until next year, only saying they should continue to discuss this amid his concerns about inflation, so while they're getting this big victory here, still big questions about the timing, the substance, and ultimately how that larger bill will come out. more negotiations to come, and joe biden's party fall in line, that's the big question going forward. >> we he

looking forward the white house said that its focus is passing the legislation. what are other strategic steps or new steps the white house is going to take to try to address some of the concerns that were clearly raised by vote efers in virginia and new jersey and other states around the country or does it feel that passing those two are sufficient to make up some of it? karine: i think what the president was trying to say is voters were tired of the inaction they were seeing and want us to get things done. i think that's what he's trying to say. the president agrees which is why he has been calling for congress to vote on these pieces of his economic policy. but i do want to say one more thing is that, you know, we all know that no election determines the outcome of future elections. that the mid-terms will be determined by voters in 2020, in 2022 and this one election is determined by votes for the 2021. and the mid terms are still a year away. and a lot could happen over the next weeks and months which is what we're focused on. this is why we're trying to get

locked out of the white house. and when the president is unpopular, it just compounds the problem. so, if mcauliffe can win, he will be swimming against the tide and i think the message here to democrats is going to be very clear. win or lose, that job one for them is to rebuild as much of biden's popularity as they can between now and next november because if they don't, it's going to be a long night for them. >> yeah. ron brownstein, thank you so much for talking with us. appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> australia's prime minister says he has begun the process of trying to repair relations with france after scrapping a submarine deal worth billions of dollars. scott morrison told reporters on the sidelines at the g20 summit that he did not lie to the french president, but he admitted withholding information about the other submarine option offered to australia by the u.s. and uk before cancelling the agreement with france. earlier, french president emmanuel macron basically called mr. morrison a liar. here's what

does that apply to the white house? and is there some retooling that's needed over there at the white house much in the way you advised some >> well, if you recall, i said that about two weeks ago. and we have now passed this infrastructure bill that we were having some difficulty getting done. it required that all of us find common ground, give up some of our conflict. that's where the pride to develop will. are you willing to step outside of your comfort zone and accommodate others? we showed that willingness last week or week before last and passed the bill. we're going to sign it tomorrow. i think we'll continue to see that this coming week or next week when we pick up the build back better. so what i said a week and a half, two weeks ago will not apply today. >> you were so pivotal to then-candidate biden's race for the democratic nomination back in 2020. do you think he's going to run again in 2024? some of this speculation and consternation about whatever is going on behind the scenes at the white house seems to

later, the white house had to walk that back. that's just the president's personal opinion, he wasn't trying to steer doj in any certain direction. but of course they're pleased to see this. there was the fear that congress would lose their place as a coequal part of the government. and now, the charges for bannon, which they believe are good, not just to get to the bottom of what happened on january 6th, but also to send the message that this can't happen again. bannon has embraced this. he seems to be willing to be a maga martyr, and perhaps willing to face prosecution and even prison time. but it's not clear that others in the trump orbit will do the same. now, the sights are on mark meadows who realizes he could face similar charges if he does not cooperate. >> dan, let's talk about mark meadows. what should the legal advice be that a guy like mark madows is receiving right about now? >> the legal advice is, you have to show up. there's no excuse for not showing up. recently, a district court dealt with this in the mcgahn cas

phil, one of the arguments that you just heard from paula reid, the white house, the biden white house argument is an argument based on planet earth where this january 6th insurrection was an extraordinary, horrific thing. but as we know, there are a number of republicans in the house of representatives who do not currently reside on planet earth. they live on this trump world where the insurrection was on election day and there was all this election fraud. all these things that are not true. so the biden people can say, well, this is just extraordinary circumstances and future congresses, future majorities in congress will respect that. i don't know what world they think those people live on, though. >> yeah, well, obviously it's a world in which the full weight of the government, you know, levying criminal charges against someone is seen as preferable to donald trump as we're seeing in the case of steve bannon. trump's gig all along has been deny, deny d, deny, don't compl. that was from day one, that was the approach he took here. and that's what he's clearly demanding of people who

house. >> kelly o'donnell live for us at the white house. thank you very much. we want to get to capitol hill now where another former member of the trump white house is facing possible contempt of congress for refusing to show up today for a deposition by the january 6th select committee. we're talking about meadows. so, as of where we stand right now leigh ann, mark meadows didn't show today, right? we know that based on sources. the january 6th select committee has seemed to signal pretty strongly they will move forward with contempt of congress from people who don't show up. where are we now? do we expect to hear more from the committee or its chairman? >> well, hallie, i was checking my phone right before you came to me because i'm trying to see if the select committee actually sent anything out yet. we're hoping that they do give some direction on what happens next. we confirmed that mark meadows did not show up today and we also know the select committee yesterday threatened criminal contempt referral if mark meadows did not show up.

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

you see in the white house do that this week a little bit. you see them talk about the immediacy and the urgency for their agenda getting past. if it passes, and 2022 you'll see childcare costs come down by eczema and prescription drug prices coming down for seniors by x amount. at least that starts to bring the conversation to the kitchen table that doug was just talking about. that's what this president does very well and he needs to get back to doing after couple of months where washington was just talking about a big pile of money. chris: i'm not sure that i agree because it seems whether the spending a huge amount of money or immigration or crime or what goes on in schools that there is an increase in perception out there and we certainly saw it play out in virginia and new jersey that democrats and president biden have moved to the left. first of all do you think that's legitimate and they feel that and secondly, do you take that advice and take them back to the center. >> i think this is a huge link space ahead of joe biden, questions

house. >> your grandfather john had a brother who died in the white house. so let's close by telling the story because it was a real tragedy. i believe it was during a reelection campaign that -- >> yes, it was. so it was the boys were playing -- the brothers were 19 years apart, excuse me, 19 months apart and they were playing tennis on the white house grounds. calvin, jr. developed a blister on his foot and that was treated but it became infected and the infection start today spread to his body and they had no antibiotics at the time to treat that and a week after getting the blister he died at walter reed hospital of sepsis. he was 16 year's old. yeah, yeah. i believe that it put a lot of pressure on john. he was seen as only the remaining child and a lot of stress and pressure was put on him to be a model for his son. i do know that it was a real loss for the president and that he blamed himself a lot because if he had not been in that position, maybe his son would be alive. race was a real driving factor in saving the family and helping them to move on.

house, meant she and the white house were totally simpatico with what was going on on this bill. overnight, "the washington post" published an interview with sinema who said there are changes in the house version that were not in the framework with what she agreed to with the president. sinema, more so than manchin has been deliberate about not speaking about her concerns in public. it's possible she's just referring to the paid leave provision, which i already talked about. if she has other issues, particularly on the taxing side here, we're getting really touch and go here about making sure this bill is anything approaching fully paid for, and that could be problematic for democrats, too. the provisions around state and local tax deductions are one area we know the senate is talking about making changes. i'm watching for all of thes those issues to bubble up over the month of december when the senate is working on this. >> what are we hearing from the white house? obviously joe biden has a long relationship with joe manchin, he certainly has not been shy about giving face time

if i read that correctly, is the white house advocating for law breaking? >> reporter: well, they're certainly encouraging it, i think. todd and carley, it's game on after numerous lawsuits that prompted the federal appeals court to issue the stay on the administration's requirement for workers at companies with at least 100 employees to get the shot or face weekly testing. but the doj is fighting back in a filing, saying, quote, the occupational safety and health administration a's detailed analysis of the impact shows that a stay would likely cost dozens or hundreds of lives per day but by contrast it's speculative and remote and don't outweigh the interest of protecting employees from a dangerous virus, this as the white house is encouraging businesses to ignore the stay. >> we think people should not wait. the administration clearly has the authority to protect workers and actions announced by the president are designed to save lives and stop the spread of covid-19. >> reporter: but one restaurant group ceo warns this could put people out of business. >

this is, this is a third rail for the white house. it is what knocked out jimmy carter out of office. inflation is political strychnine. reagan won in a landslide. now claiming that you know, first we went from claiming that spending costs zero, nothing, to saying that spending fixes inflation, to saying inflation is a gadd -- good thing. now pete buttigieg is saying highways, the way they were constructed and design are racist. we have the "washington post," you know, fact checker glen kessler saying that is wrong. historians and academics already debunked that. >> this administration is so out of touch with real -- reality. they care more about definitions of words than problems facing americans. we have an inflation crisis. we saw today, inflation year to year 6.2% increase. since joe biden has become president as of january 20th, inflation has hit 7.4%. that is the highest in 40 years. that means that every american is having to spend more, just to put food on their table. it is unacceptable but they care more about racist bridges

bolten: you call the white house operator. tara: and then they walk over to the room and knock on his door? mr. lew: all the time. mr. bolten: i also had to wake up the president a few times. he is a heavy sleeper. [laughter] he is really focused and intentional about his sleeping. he still goes to bed at 9:30 and is up at 5:15 without an alarm clock. so you did not do that lightly, but i did a few times. sometimes involving a disaster or national security situation. more times than any of us would like to admit it would have involved one of his daughters, or at the time, in college -- who were at the time in college. i didn't get grief from the president about that kind of stuff. if a member of the congressional leadership or a cabinet officer said that they wanted to see the president and i didn't think that it was a good idea i would not debate it with the president . i would tell them. i don't think this is worthy of the president's time. i will put the request through if you insist, but i'm telling you now that i will tel

coronation. >> the national school board association sent it to the white house and the white house promptly called you and said sick the fbi on parents. >> i did not beak with anyone from the white house while i worked on this memorandum, this memorandum reflects my views we need to protect public officials from violence and threats of violence. >> it will be interesting to see what jen psaki has to say add it at today's white house briefing. >> john: she is back from her covid quarantine, we will watch that for everybody at home, thank you. >> anita: for more on this, let's bring a fox news contributor bill mcgurn, a "wall street journal" columnist and former speechwriter for president bush. good to have you here to weigh in on this. new revelations now of a letter from the and sda to the white house before the attorney general's memo came out. let's look at the timeline that shows on september 29th, the nsba sent a letter to the white house warning about parents showing up to the school board meetings and asking tough questions in a few days later on october 4th, likening parents to domes

white house, covid-19 coordinated jeff, gets tonight's last word. he is not going to get, it because we have a little piece of video for him that we do not have time for because you know, it is time for the 11th hour with brian williams. that starts right now. >> good evening once again, day 295 of the biden administration. the breaking news on our watch tonight is that a federal judge has denied this latest request from trump to keep those documents and records from january six away from the committee investigating january six. those records, that trump doesn't want scene, our with the national archives. but they could be just days away from being turned over to the committee. >> we hope that these can start to be transmitted on friday. the national archives as indicated that they have the material ready. they are ready to transmit. they are following the presidents request to turn those over to the january six committee. president biden has said that the president that gets to decide on what is privileged. and he has indicated that the national ar

i was talking to a white house official last night. the phrase they kept using is we're not going to get caught flat footed. that's why you see fauci to say, this is probably going to get here. what's left unsaid is what some white house officials will privately concede and what democrats around the country will tell you was they did get caught flat footed in july by delta. they had an independence party on the lawn of the white house. what you are seeing now is you have to apply that lens to everything they're doing now. >> that 4th of july speech was seen as this success speech where we were. the other day for the macy's day parade, the president called in talking about how there's nothing the united states can't overcome. obviously, this is something that looms over that. how does he square the messaging with waiting to find out details but trying to prepare people for this? >> this is an area where the administration always projects a lot of confidence. many americans voted for president biden because they liked how seriously he ha

and a democrat will be in the white house. so, it's not so much about the policies you put forward, it's the virtue of fighting standing up for what we believe in. that is what the republican party has lacked previous to donald trump becoming the president. they got to get that spirit and they have got to stop these investigations. they have got to stop this politicized department of justice in the biden administration that is sending out indictments for people who don't show up to congress to testify about a commission that is unhistoric, uncongressional, unamerican, and should end. they have got to stand up to the abuses coming from the biden administration. that is what will spur them to an even more seats next year. >> 15 seconds before we have it go. a lot of democratic retirements. are there any possibilities that republicans flip some of those seats? >> absolutely. one of the reasons -- some of them are in very blue districts. and they are quitting because they know they are going to lose their gavels and power. this is

the white house. arlette saenz, a big victory for the president, not to the finish line but he can see it now. >> after months of cajoling and negotiating this is a major breakthrough for president biden's economic agenda. president biden spoke by phone with house speaker nancy pelosi today to offer her congratulations, and they also released a statement, the white house released a statement from the president celebrating this win. that statement says today the united states house of representatives passed the build back better act to take another giant step forward in carrying out my economic plan to create jobs, reduce costs, make our country more competitive and give working people and the middle class a fight chance. the white house hopeful that this bill will make good on some of the campaign promises that biden made back in 2020, but they are also keenly aware of the steep climb that this bill will face in the senate as there are expected to be major changes made to the bill in order to win supp

first, heidi przybyla is at the white house with us. with a welcome to you, we have the white house taking something of a victory lap today after the big political win in congress. but are we hearing anything about the second part of president biden's economic agenda? >> a lot of people who work in this building behind me, they are obama administration veterans and they know therefore it's not good enough to pass something big, but you have to go out and sell it and explain it to the americans people. that's what we're seeing this morning. they're noting this is something not just president biden promises the american people, but president trump promised and failed to deliver on. however, the getting to that 2 million jobs per month figure estimate that they want to hit here for the economy, that's going to require the second part of this agenda, the agenda that helps more women work outside the home, including universal pre-k, elder care, child care costs. here's white house chief of staff ron klain earlier on "meet the press." >> i un
