so this is coming from the white house. and most democrats aren't being consulted. not just with agriculture but the entire package. this really is unique. because of that you don't get good legislation. you get unintended consequences which i think we'll see in the future, which will not help them at all. jackie: before we run out of time i wanted to ask you one more question. we have a big election tomorrow in new jersey and virginia. i'm wondering if he glenn youngkinn does win tomorrow what do you think it means for the republican party heading into 2022? mr. boozman: i think we have to be careful because that doesn't mean that people will be voting for republicans. it will be voting -- they'll be rejecting what the democrats are trying to do right now. so republicans need to get ready. they need to have good solutions to the problems that we are facing. they need to present that to the public so that they'll be voting for us rather than against the administration what's happening right now. but this will be a big bell weather. i think we all agree. as a result

let's bring in white house correspondent, kimberly healthcare whose live for us in washington, dc. how long they, kimberly, we're not likely to say that happened today when well, it's certainly looking unlikely. and here's the reason why. after weeks of building support for these pieces of legislation, democrats were poised to vote on this. we already know, republicans aren't going to support it. but at democrats do hold a narrow majority, and so it was looking like there was going to be a vote. but then about 7 members of the president's own democratic party said, you know what, wait a 2nd. i'm not sure about the price tag on this. i want to see exactly how much this is going to cost. and as a result, i, i, it's kind of pushed it to the what sort of the congressional budget office to score this legislation. what that means is it'll be looking at how much this proposed legislation could cost the american taxpayer. the problem is that could take weeks and that's not with this white house once they want to see this quickly. they've been waiting for some time and feeling increasingly

as for what could be delivered from the conversation, the white house doesn't expect there will be any tangible deliverables and said the purpose of the conversation, which they say president biden initiated is to manage the relationship responsibly between the two countries and erect what they're calling guardrails on issues of importance what those issues of importance are is unclear and what the guardrails, to use the white house's term, around those issues is, is also unclear it's expected to raise concerns around threats to china's rules based international order are pretty long. president biden will raise concern about economic practices, its human rights issues, coercive measures with regard to taiwan and areas of the risk in cyber space. the white house does not expect it'll raise supply chains and tariffs and as to whether beijing may raise the olympics and the submarine deal with australia, they have no idea the two countries are in a fundamentally different place than in the past and the u.s. is seeking a steady state of affairs. we'll see exactly what comes out of the conve

we saw that with donald trump was in the white house here 4 years ago. the democrats, the great in the virginia in new jersey, gubernatorial elections, which are really the 2 kind of main off your elections that happened. you know, the year after the, the presidential race, but now the job is the white house and that he's not popular. i think that sort of poisons the political environment for democrats. and i think it reflects in the results. and then virginia shifted from voting for biden by 10 points to narrowly voting republican for governor in this, in this election. and we also saw new jersey, which is an even more democratic state than virginia. it looks like it's going to reelect democratic governor phil murphy, but only by very small mountain. you know, if this environment continues, you know, buying continues to have a poor approval rating. you know, this time next year when we're having the national mid term elections, you probably would expect the republicans to win both house and senator to pick up a lot of the state governorships, many of wh

kimberly how can al jazeera the white house. so that is the view from the white house. let's speak to katrina. you who's joining us from beijing. so katrina, what is the motivation for she to attend to summit and did he achieve what he wanted? i think she's in pain one or 2 things. first he want it to appear strong strong for china as well as a strong leader himself and to i think he genuinely wanted an improvement in the ties between the 2 countries. so what we've seen, it seems like bay jane thinks that it was successful share fung the vice foreign minister who was present during the talks describe them as fruitful and constructive. and we've been seeing a few lines from the foreign ministry and from state media and the way they seem to talk about the talks. it also seems have this very positive turn. we had president eugene being describe the relationship between the 2 countries as the most important in the world. he said that the 2 countries are like 2 ships and that everything should be done to avoid conflict and confrontation. and that ideological divisions could

in fact come in during his is time at the white house. so this is a remarkable period of changing he seems to be really the first modern president because he understands that capturing the imagination of the american people is really a pr exercise and he needs to reach out to them in order to get congress to do something or in order to you know, extend american power throughout the world. so roosevelt is a revolutionary figure for the white house. not just because he names it but because he reshapes the office itself. well, we're going to take some questions like from i see them coming in from a lot of the people watching. but first we have another. special bit of insight from one of the brightest stars that i know at the white house historical association. it's senior historian, dr. matthew costello, and he's going to talk just for a moment about the remarkable influence that teddy roosevelt had on the white house itself. good evening. my name is dr. matthew costello, and i vice president of the david m reubenstein national center for wh

it will be done here at the white house. on monday they will talk about a number of things that they have in common. first of all, getting on top of the corporate crisis. there's the global supply chain as well. 3 there is also the climate change, and when we're that joe biden was pretty critical of the chinese for not showing up in glasgow essentially seeing that if you want to be a world leader, you have to show up to lead ad. there will be other things that they will touch on, including nuclear weapons. they will talk about it, china's military operations in and around taiwan. i remember it's just a week ago that the americans have said that they are obliged. your biden said that they are obliged to defend taiwan and would do so. and of course, there's been quite a leap forward in chinese military technology with them testing a supersonic aircraft that can go into space or something that might milly who is the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. here in the united states said the change in china's wealth and also its m

is the white house considering that end is there anything the white house is doing about this? sec. psaki: because of the rescue plan, we have cut childhood hunger in half over the last year. when we look at that build back better agenda passing, the impact it will have on lowering childcare and lowering eldercare, the cost of elder care, the cost of health care, these are all costs on families that impact what they are able to afford in their daily lives. certainly, impact on military families as a military family himself, the president and dr. biden, that is heartbreaking. they continue to fight to do more to nature that there are not hungry families, whether they are military or not in the country. in terms of the summit, i have no plans to preview. >> to help military families overcome having a hard time, but is there a difference in the senate version. sec. psaki: the senate version would basically have a housing allowance is income which allows access to a lot of things in low income families. they are no longer qualifying with the needs allowance or or the military families n

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

typically the party of not the white house has a better night in the midterms. they have headwinds of their own making come of the landscape, and historica all kind of conspiring against the fate of the political winds for joe biden. can he turn the momentum? good job numbers today would've been helpful before the election. if that's something that can help turn the corner, that may be useful for the president. but there are real lessons for the biden white house to be learned from this election. will they listen and will they change some of the strategy, on how they talk about some of these issues? that's what we ll be watching. >> that's a critical question. i also question the president wednesday about how democrats plan to counter the culture war strategy used successfully by the gop. >> what your message for democratic voters, especially black voters, who need republicans running on race, education, lying about critical race theory, worried that democrats don't have an effective would've pushed back on that -- an effective way to push back on that? >> speak
