20 years ago a teenage surfer saves three lives. reports of mass animal extinctions. and macy's heads to court to keep amazon at bay >> announcer: live from cnbc, the facts, the truth, the news with shepard smith. good evening president biden's agenda is in peril tonight. he is scrambling to save it on this eve of a make-or-break vote tomorrow the house is set to decide on a bipartisan $1 trillion infrastructure bill infighting among democrats is threatening to tank it progressives say they will not vote yes unless they're also guaranteed to get a massive $3.5 trillion social spending package. two moderate senators hold the keys here, joe manchin and kyrsten sinema they have signalled opposition to the package it's creating a major rift that could derail president biden's entire domestic agenda the clock is ticking the house speaker, nancy pelosi, and senate majority liter, chuck schumer, went to the white house tonight to meet with president bi biden. expect our team, the president, is going to be working around the clock the rest of today, overnight, into tomorrow morning. >> he cancelled a big trip to chicago so he can stay in washington and fight for his agenda we begin tonight with ylan mui live on capitol hill ylan >> reporter: well, shep, the speaker likes to say that you take the votes when you have the votes. right now democrats do not have the votes to pass either of these bills. the problem comes down to trust between the house and the senate, progressives and moderates within the democratic party. now, senator joe manchin put out a statement tonight saying that he is worried that the social spending package would trigger massive inflation and too many of the benefits are going to people who don't need it instead, he told my colleague, garrett haake, that the infrastructure bill should pass the house tomorrow >> we have the most important piece of legislation we've had in the last 30 years it does so much in so many ways. why don't we take that and move on and then negotiate. >> reporter: congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez will tell him why here she is, again with garrett. >> i believe that there are some that don't want to pass both bills. i think that what we've seen from the influence of corporate lobbyists in washington that that is absolutely part of the conversation and that's why we want to secure a path to passage on both of these bills. >> reporter: now, if that weren't clear enough, the head of the congressional progressive caucus tweeted this. progressives remain ready and willing to vote for the infrastructure bill after the popular build back better act is passed we can't leave child care, paid leave, health care, housing, education and climate action behind but that bigger social spending package is nowhere near ready, shep, and that leaves democrats' agenda in limbo. >> but ylan, it now appears the government shutdown may not happen >> reporter: yeah, if there's one thing republicans and democrats agree on right now, it is that they need to prevent that government shutdown they're working to finalize a bill that would keep the lights on through december the 3rd and both sides say they are confident they can get this passed and to the president's desk before the deadline at midnight tomorrow. however, the debt ceiling remains up in the air. the house just passed a bill that will suspend the debt ceiling through december 2022, but it's going nowhere in the senate because republicans remain united against it shep, both sides are really dug in on this one too if washington doesn't find a solution soon, the economy could face a catastrophe >> ylan mui, thank you. breaking last hour, britney spears is free of her father the move after more than a decade of conservatorship of her and her $60 million fortune. live pictures now outside the courthouse in los angeles where today a judge suspended jamie spears from the conservatorship. for 13 years he's had control over britney's money and life decisions. no longer. britney spears has testified that the conservatorship under her father was abusive and exp exploitative but this does not mean she's completely free a judge appointed a temporary conservator, a certified public accountant, who's worked in hollywood. that's something for which britney's lawyer was pushing cnbc's scott cohn outside the courthouse scott? >> reporter: shep, this is a huge victory for britney spears and for this huge throng of supporters here who went wild when the news came out just a short time ago >> we want this conservatorship to end that's our number one goal but this is a huge step and we are extremely happy about it. >> this is actually a major victory for the free britney movement however, this is not the remove jamie movement, this is the free britney movement so we are going to be pushing for the end of the conservatorship and won't stop until that happens. >> reporter: the conservatorship remains in place this is what her team wanted they wanted a way to hold her father, jamie spears, accountable for his alleged abuses over the past 13 years. the new conservator will now get all of jamie's records in the conservatorship. that is key. jamie spears team simply wanted to edged the conservatorship now and settle everything up later now he could be subject to investigation by zable, including into these new allegations that he had a security firm spying on his daughter that security firm, black box, saying that it acted legally that's also what jamie spears and his team say, that everything he did was legal, within the bounds of the court orders, but now this new court order by judge brenda penny, jamie spears out as conservator as the movement to free britney moves on shep >> scott cohn, thanks. david henderson now, civil rights attorney, cnbc contributor. david, break down exactly what that means jamie spears, suspended as conservator. so is he done for good or could he still come back >> you know, shep, in theory he could still come back but that's not what's going to happen here. what this means is that a huge weight has been lifted off of britney's chest. for her, this is actually good because one thing her lawyer made clear from the beginning is jamie spears, you don't get to cut and run, you're still going to answer for your behavior in this conservatorship that's what suspending them allows them to do. >> some thought this would be the end of the conservatorship altogether were you surprised the judge decided to keep one in place now? >> unfortunately, no, i'm not surprised, shep. the wheels of justice turn very slowly you have to remember the conservatorship exists to contribute positively to britney's health and well-being. the judge is going to want to hear from an expert before she terminates the conservatorship to make sure britney will do okay without it. >> she's obviously asked for an end to all of this what does her attorney need to do now in your opinion to get to that place >> i think her attorney just needs to formally file between now and the time of the next hearing, which he asked take place at least 30 to 45 days from now but in addition to that what he's made very clear is he intends to hold jamie spears accountable through depositions, making him answer for some of the egregious details we've heard about the way he treated his daughter. >> you mentioned the documents do you think those documents are the key to whatever happens next >> no, only formally, shep, in terms of actually ending the conservatorship. there's some formalities associated with that which britney's lawyers chose not to engage in yet, because again, i think he wants a chance to question her father which he's made very clear. i think the key to ending this basically happened today with removing jamie spears. i think britney will also need to move on is closure and that's going to come through holding her dad accountable. >> david henderson, thank you. a new cell phone and new surveillance footage fresh clues in the manhunt for brian laundrie and his actions in the days before he disappeared. a fake news purge. youtube announcing a total ban on all vaccine misinformation. how the company is determining what stays and what gets pulled. vaccine mandates the deadline for employees at united airlines now in the rear-view mirror the brand-new stats on how many workers are now on the chopping block, and what the airline's ceo is telling cnbc. brian laundrie had a new cell phone that's a new detail after he returned home without gabby and before he himself disappeared. his lawyer telling cnbc that brian and his mother purchased this new cell phone for him on september the 4th and opened an account with at&t for it the lawyer says brian laundrie left the phone at home before he disappeared and that now the fbi has it september the 4th is just three days after brian returned from wyoming without gabby. and ten days before families say they last saw him. the fbi has also gotten surveillance video of brian laundrie and his family at ft. de soto park where they confirmed they went camping about an hour from their home. that's according to deputies with the pinellas county sheriff's office in florida. the surveillance video will not be made public yet because of the ongoing investigation. youtube, it's expanding its crackdown on covid misinformation the company reports it's now banning all anti-vax videos. youtube already had a policy against covid vaccine misinformation, but the new ban includes any content that falsely claims approved vaccines of any kind are dangerous or ineffective. youtube says it also removed the accounts of several prominent anti-vax activists, including robert f. kennedy jr we reached out to mr. kennedy for comment. so far no response youtube reports it's also taking down all videos that relate or violate those rules. cnbc's perry russom is here now. perry, what's considered misinformation and what's not? >> the new guidelines mean you cannot post videos that have harmful information about vaccine safety that approved vaccines cause autism, that they cause infertility or have microchips so you can be tracked. they will allow videos that debate the scientific process, vaccine policies and personal testimonials related to vaccines as long as the channel does not show a pattern of promoting vaccine hesitancy. if you violate the policy, youtube gets rid of the video. they sent you an email three strikes within 90 days and your channel is out, it is deleted. they can also delete your channel after a single case of severe abuse earlier this year the surgeon general called misinformation a threat to public health and cited a study that found widespread acceptance of a covid vaccine will be a challenge and could be held back by online misinformation, shep. >> all right, perry, thanks very much youtube and all the other social platforms have long struggled with policing content. remember when facebook's mark zuckerberg said his company shouldn't be the arbiter of truth? well, the social media companies all say they try to strike a balance of keeping an open platform while not allowing dangerous lies to fester but critics say the restrictions amount to censorship kate klonic now, assistant professor of law at st. john's university her current research focusing on the development of facebook's oversight board. kate, thank you. some have called this an assault on the first amendment of course youtube is a private company. >> yeah. there is actually nothing implied about the first amendment at all here. the first amendment is only for government actors restricting individuals' freedom of expression facebook, youtube, tiktok, all of these platforms are private companies that can make the rules and enforce them as they want. >> vaccine misinformation is one thing. but what about when political speech is the issue, is there a risk in having these private companies play the role of referee? >> yeah, there is a huge risk. for one, they're not particularly accountable, except kind of through your ability to sign off of the platform or to sign on. there's no kind of vote, there's no type of representative, there's no way to weigh in on what the rules should be or shouldn't be there's not a lot of transparency around the rules or how they're enforced this is something that just started developing in the last five years at all of these companies and so it's really dangerous when you think about the control that private companies have at the same time, it's really dangerous to think about what would happen if private companies weren't doing this type of work an everything going on on these platforms without them. >> kate, thank you new york's vaccine mandate for hospital workers, just days after it took effect, governor kathy hochul says no health facilities have shut down because of staff shortages, not one. the governor says 92% of health care and nursing home employees have received at least one dose. the mandate appears to have swayed many hesitant workers to go ahead and get the shot. many, but not all. hospital officials across new york say they have suspended or fired employees for refusing to get vaccinated businesses with mandates may have to do the same thing. united airlines reports it will fire nearly 600 workers for failing to comply with the company's vaccine requirement. united's ceo is scott kirby. he told cnbc this morning more than 99% of his employees have received at least one shot that excludes people with religious or medical exemptions. >> because everyone is vaccinated, we'll know that we've met any of the requirements that are going to be put in place by the federal government and be ready to run a great operation with a fully vaccinated workforce. >> united's ceo said the company planned and prepared for the mandate and that he's confident it will help the business overall moving forward it's happened, the massive lava flow from the la palma volcano has reached the ocean. would you look at the steam. the air quality tests now

foreign minister to discuss a path towards social, political, and economic recovery for the country. officials say they'll talk about mainly three things, support haiti after the major earthquake in august, aid them in holding a democratic election after their president was assassinated and how to respond to a wave of haitian migration to the united states the number of haitian refugees traveling to america became a flashpoint last week when the biden administration reported thousands from the texas/mexico border were deported in port-au-prince, here's jacob soboroff. >> reporter: the situation on the ground here at port-au-prince is confusing and chaotic. migrants walking out of the airport after multiple deportation flights are arriving today. you're seeing what appears to be local police now entering the airport and the reality is by the end of the day today there might be 6,000 haitians having been expelled here over the course of the last ten days. that's according to the u.n.'s migration institute here on the ground it's basically receiving the migrants who come back many of them haven't lived here in quite some time, they were living in central and south america. they made their way to the united states in order to declare asylum obviously they were unable to do so the biden administration is continuing these flights back here to haiti and the u.n. says they believe they'll continue for the foreseeable future it raises questions amongst activists back at home whether or not the biden administration is being true to its word about creating a fair, safe and equitable immigration system it also raises questions about what these migrants will do once they hit the ground here, many not here for years. those questions won't be answered certainly not today

kayla tausche on the top story at the bottom of the hour live in washington. kayla, the president trying to unite things and it doesn't look very unified. >> reporter: it is proving to be a very difficult task, shep, but it's a crescendo moment for president biden's agenda with landmark legislation on the line tomorrow tonight democratic leaders at the white house in hopes of hashing out a final deal with just hours before funding expires for highway construction that's a key element of that bipartisan infrastructure bill after months of conversations with moderates and progressives, the white house says president biden is counting on speaker pelosi to deliver. >> we're going to be working in lock-step with speaker pelosi. he trusts her implicitly he knows that she knows what her caucus needs there's a shared commitment to winning this vote. but right now i just can't look into a crystal ball quite yet. >> reporter: biden campaigned on his bipartisan bona fides and long-time senate relationships the white house has tried to defend him at times as both deeply engaged, taking some 260 meetings to craft the legislation, but also hands of to give lawmakers space for their personal politics. but public support is eroding. a recent gallup poll showed a majority of respondents, 53%, disapprove of the job biden is doing as president after chaos in afghanistan, confusion over booster shots and conflict at the u.s./mexico border in recent months the biggest decrease in support is among independents and the white house is banking on this 1-2 legislative punch to turn that around. shep. >> thanks. if the $1 trillion package does pass, it would fund badly needed repairs for roads and bridges really across the country. the white house says 45,000 of america's bridges are in poor condition. same for 20% of all the nation's highways and major roads that amounts to about 173,000 miles of road. pennsylvania ranks among the states with the most need. it's 11th worst for the interstate system and 12th from the bottom for bridges according to a research nonprofit. so that's where cnbc's valerie castro went, to investigate how something as small as a pothole can cause a huge financial hole. >> it bent the rim and it broke. i've never seen anything like that. >> reporter: ibrahim fixes tires and rims at his shop on th outskirts of the city. most days he sees

conditions are so bad in pennsylvania a national transportation research group estimates drivers pay an extra $620 a year in vehicle maintenance and upkeep. >> it's a serious problem. >> what do customers tell you? >> they're not happy and very, very mad as well about the conditions of the roads. >> reporter: the state received a c minus on its last infrastructure report card from the american society of civil engineers. more than 7,500 miles of highway and more than 3,300 bridges are in poor condition, and it's not just surface problems. the amount of traffic that courses through the worn down roadways means more congestion. >> what we're flying over now is i-95 southbound before center stil city, and this is a common congested traffic is always in the area here. >> reporter: from the air we saw construction in the works. >> there's about a two-mile stretch where they're widening the lanes. >> reporter: and outside the city in bucks county, the state department of transportation is widening the u.s. 1 corridor and plans to replace three bridges. >> over the years with the road salts, they become deteriorated. >> reporter: two phases of the project are funded, but without federal dollars, the third phase could be delayed. >> we only get so many dollars a year, so we can only do so much. >> reporter: if the federal infrastructure bill passes, pennsylvania stands to receive $11.3 billion in federal highway funding and more than $1.5 billion for bridges. more money to fix the issues could mean less business for ebrahim but he says that would be a welcome break. >> i'm getting tired of it actually i'm 65 i'm ready to retire. >> reporter: the pennsylvania department of transportation says the state has an annual transportation funding gap of more than $9 million, the federal funds would seize that burden over the next five years, but there's still a lot of work to be done shep >> valerie, thanks. a 16-year-old surfer saved the lives of three men

balance the board for youguys, just kick t get in no one could touch because it was probably a 10-foot drop. >> smith has been surfing since she was 11 years old she said she was supposed to be gone

for day two. this time facing off with house lawmakers. their questions about how the country's longest war came to that awful end. and an alligator released into the wild crawling out of that trash can but getting it in the can in the first place is what may just be the video of the day. the pentagon's top brass facing another round of tough questions on the deadly and chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan. yesterday it was the senate. today the house. america's top general bluntly admitting the u.s. lost the war. >> my assessment is this was a 20-year war. it wasn't lost in the last 20 days or even 20 months for that matter it was a cumulative effect through a series of strategic decisions that go way back. >> the joint chiefs of staff chairman, general mark milley told lawmakers there are many lessons to be learned from america's longest war. cnbc's senior washington correspondent eamon javers on that eamon? >> yeah, shep. today was all about blame. republicans trying to place it squarely on president biden and democrats trying to spread it to former president trump caught in the middle were the defense secretary and the generals who did not want to be caught in the political finger pointing it led to some awkward moments between republicans and the officials who were testifying today. >> the blame for the disastrous withdrawal that everyone agrees was a disaster, who's to blame for that i'll let the silence speak for itself. >> in your best military judgment, did president biden's decisions cause this strategic failure? >> first of all, i'm not going to judge a president that's the job of the american people that's the job of congress >> now, the game plan for the democrats was to run the blame clock back farther in time to suggest that the person really responsible was president trump, who entered into an agreement with the taliban to withdraw u.s. forces. >> we know that the dye was cast with the doha agreement, an agreement that former president trump entered into with the taliban and the taliban alone. we have learned that that agreement -- it was that agreement that demoralized the afghan army. >> democrats suggested that plans for an orderly withdrawal were no better under the trump administration >> secretary austin, did the previous administration develop plans for withdrawal and was there any hand-off to you of those plans >> there was no hand-off to me of any plans for withdrawal. >> shep, the chairman of the committee, a democrat, suggested that maybe no general and no president could have accomplished what ultimately was an impossible mission, and that nobody on capitol hill should be calling anybody an idiot for failing to do that because in the end, shep, there's a lot of blame to go around. >> eamon, thank you. few people have better insight into what's actually happening on the ground in afghanistan now than kabul's mayor. he's a former u.s. citizen who took over as mayor last year before the taliban regained power. he decided to return to his native afghanistan after the attacks of 9/11 to help rebuild the government when foreign allies left and as high-ranking politicians fled, he stayed. i spoke to the mayor earlier from kabul >> mayor, for the people of kabul and afghanistan in general, what has the departure of american troops done to day-to-day life? >> this is an uncharted territory, including a nation that has been at war and this was other people's war this was war on terror that no afghan was involved in when 9/11 happened but the battles were fought in the mountains and in the villages of afghanistan. but the people are asking why, why all these years, 20 years of fighting, 20 years of casualties, and all of a sudden we are where we were 20 years ago. >> do kabul citizens lay blame and if so, on whom >> well, this is not a time to blame. we all should make our decisions based on wisdom, because afghanistan is a very strategic country. its strategic interest is more important to those who have global interests therefore, we should not take -- make any decisions based on revenge, haste, prejudice or getting even. >> do everyday afghans feel as diplomatic as you just were? >> no. afghans don't feel diplomatic because we have millions of people who are at the verge of famine and hunger. millions of people are at the poverty line and they do not have the luxury to be diplomatic i'm also one of them i'm not being diplomatic i'm saying this from kabul where the taliban are sitting and i'm also saying this to everybody, not just americans or europeans. i'm telling this to taliban also, that we all should make decisions with sober minds and with wisdom. this is a nation, this is not a toy. these are people these are not anybody's subjects these are not slaves to any regime or to any group therefore, i'm not diplomatic, i'm being very straightforward >> do you see a world where afghanistan can exist and keep isis-k and other terrorist organizations out? >> i think engagement with afghanistan will not create the void in which those kinds of elements were fostered engagement alone will guarantee those things lack of engagement will create the void that had been created of 20 years ago when the united states and allies decided to come to afghanistan. >> are aftghans mad at america >> afghans are not mad at anybody. afghans don't have the luxury to be mad afghans are struggling with many unknowns right now we don't know where we are headed we don't know what is coming up. we don't know what is going to happen to the economy, to daily affairs of people, to the liberties, to education of girls and women. many unknowns and many anxieties that are very legitimate >> mayor sultanzy in our conversation earlier. studies show 14%

lap and your face and cause you to focus on them. >> reporter: bobby even helped her talk to us. >> i would never be able to speak in public, speak to a stranger, much less get across anything that i
