this is obviously a former white house chief of staff. what do you make of the legal advice he apparently is getting? >> i'm sure that his legal advice is very sound, but it's also the legal advice that he's asking for. because it's clear that meadows doesn't want to testify, wants to find a way to avoid testifying and perhaps jon's book provides the key to that, because it may well be that mark meadows has testimony he would have to give if he were truthful that he simply cannot afford to give because it portrays him in just too negative of a light in a central figure in putting forward the insurrection. if not, the plot to try to avoid certifying the biden election. meadows has a choice to make here. he may well decide he's so protected by the white house that he's ready to run the risk of noncompliance with the congressional subpoena. the problem that he has,s and coverage covers him, even though the conduct he's decided on is a campaign of serious privilege may not cloak him. trump is a former president, he's not the current president

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

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

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

any sense, i keep asking the folks to cover this white house, of how the biden white house is reacting to today's development for one, and how closely they are covering the committee activities? >> sure, publicly they're not saying a whole lot, because they want to have a fire wall between the white house and the department of justice. as you recall, a few weeks ago, biden was asked on the white house south lawn what he thought should happen to steve bannon, he suggested they should be criminally prosecuted. later the white house had to walk that back, that was just a presidents personal opinion, he certainly wasn't trying to steer the doj anywhere. -- of course, they are pleased to see those, because there is real fear here that congress would almost lose her ability as a critical branch of government, if they don't have any teeth, that's why they're pleased that bannon got cited. and now the department of justice follows through on these charges. which they believe is good, not to get to the bottom of what happened on january six, but half send a message to others that this can't hap

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. >

nobody in that white house does. these issues are going to last with the american people well into next year, even further than they are estimating now and it didn't have to be this way. we could have had our v-shaped recovery, if he stepped out of the way, simply the way he ran during the campaign, step out of the way and do no harm. that is all he needed to do. but he tried to create a legacy. what he created is a disaster for the american people. elizabeth: we've got, let's show the washington poll abc results again. gop hold largest lead in midterm election voting in 40 years. that is a prediction. we have that. we have biden's comptroller nominee, saule omarova a tweet resurfacing the u.s. should be more like china. she wants more federal reserve money printing. she talked about you who the fed could take back money from people and americans during hyperinflation. i mean then she she wants to wipe out oil and gas and all our bank accounts should be at the federal reserve. that from saule omarova. a big push to s

we're following that breaking news from the white house. president biden addressing the nation this hour after a second meeting with his covid response team in just two days. highlighting the urgency the administration is feeling to learn everything they can about the concerning new coronavirus variant omicron with confirmed cases already at our northern aborter in ontario, canada. there are still a number of things we don't know about this variant with the white house releasing a statement sunday saying dr. fauci believes it will take up to two weeks to get answers on omicron's transmissibility, severity and other characteristics. the big question for nearly 200 million fully vaccinated americans, will their vaccine hold up against this new strain. fauci this morning urging eligible americans to not let fears over omicron's impact stop them from getting their booster shots. >> i would strongly suggest you get boosted now and not wait for the next iteration of it, which we might not even need, we're preparing -- the pharmaceutical companies

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

house, the white house, both bp's office leaving over the course of the last week or so there is something going on and i think it is because the policies they've pushed forward are not working, we the american people realize that end of january, the white house and the vp's office is waking up to this fact in the results of the elections in november help them realize it. >> think about reflect on everything griff jenkins talked about from a policy standpoint, inflation is up, gas prices are up, crime is up, borders wide open, people are unhappy, biden's fall numbers down, the only good news for president biden is kamala harris's poll numbers are worse and a cnn article. the lid off their relationship saying that harris people are frustrated because they feel she's underutilized, the biden people feel harris is a political liability and everybody that voted for president biden thought things were going to, quote, go back to normal and if you remember the days of donald trump when there were borders, less crime, people were economically satisfied, would you take a couple two have that, some

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

is the white house correct? >> the american people are understanding something the white house desperately wishes they didn't, looking at this fairly and objectively we come out from an unprecedented shutdown, pandemic, there was $4 trillion pumped into the economy just before biden took office. there is going to be a transitory of inflationary events in the immediate aftermath of this that is to be expected. what the american people understand the policies are exacerbated. for example raising energy cost the keystone pipeline. again renewing on foreign energy. openly encouraging energy prices to increase. is not just gas, plastic takes energy to produce anything prices are going up consumer and businesses understand that and further bidding and exacerbating this. for the borrowing with the build back better or the 2 trillion-dollar march of this year by the democrats. yet more money chasing the same amount of goods. where is this money going to come from is the fed going to. it, either way interest rates and co

liz: who's in charge of the white house? the "wall street journal" reports in detail how on its own the white house creates the worse border crisis in history. secondary mayorkas making up policy on the fly after progressive activists are complaining if they're talking about a story that basically when the dhs secretary signed off on deporting hundreds of patients in august the far left complained and flip-flopped and set the loophole, they arrived in july and qualify for our welcome policy the progressives are complaining and making chaos of the border, what you say? >> it's the worst we've ever seen it like you said. having special interests controlling what the white house or the department does is bad for all of us. it puts more risk in the hands of agents and officers, people in border communities and how men at large. if you encourage people to come to the border because they get relief in the united states, they are going to call home sent for families and relatives to join them here in the united states. that is the

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
