lifting the ban on the ban, the texas appeals court is pressing pause on that order. and william shatner gearing up for a real-life space mission. >> we are so glad you are with us. the legal news gods knew i was coming. >> the subpoena showdown. >> former trump advisor, chief strategist steve bannon citing trump claims of executive privilege. even though he's not the executive anymore. current president biden says not so fast. >> good morning. the stand off over accountability continues as former president donald trump makes it clear. he wants to assert executive privilege over to the congressional committee after the biden administration that is one of the fights brewing. a number of loyalists. we heard from folks around that he plans to defy tha t subpoena. his group other witnesses they have called on would be engaged with the committee. also making clear. they don't want to dilly daly. making sure they will hold those witnesses that don't comply in contempt. >> let's dig a little deeper and get some perspective. mic mic mic michael zeldon, a former prosecutor. i want to start with the documents that the house wants from the national archives. we are talking phone records, tweets. documents related to what happened at the actual riot. trump says he will evoke executive privilege. the current white house counsel says it is not up to you. writing, quote, the concepts of executive privilege should not be used to reflect clear and apparent effort to subvert. explain here for folks at home. we only have one president at a time. what does the former president think he's up to hear? who does the privilege belong to? >> the privilege belongs to the united states. it is the current president's voice that matters most. the former pris has his opinion. in the end, we saw this litigated in effort to make documents available that he didn't want. he wasn't even an employee on january 6. he was fired years before. how will that work. on its face, the privilege isn't applicable to him. fur on the house committee, what do you do here is if you were on the house committee, assuming he was served. just so we know, political is reporting he has been served we know bannon is not cooperating. >> the answer is, if you have been served and you refuse to show up. congress should enforce the powers of contempt. >> we saw this in the case of the mueller investigation. the court resolved they have to come in and test. they ultimately did. the problem is speed. if the courts are dilatory, it will drag on for a long time. they should use all of their powers to get in there. >> what does the attorney general want to do with that? merrick garland will be the one in the decision making seat on that one. >> correct. >> hopefully we'll get access to your knowledge again with these twists and turns. >> thank you. covid 19 hospitalizations, cases and deaths continue to decline. new cases have fallen below 100,000 cases per day for the first time in two months. but still stressing the importance of vaccination. >> cautiously optimistic. whether we see another surge depends on what we do with the hospital rates. >> places like alaska are still seeing high numbers. breaking down th e details. gentleman it is clear most of the nation is on the right path. >> some communities are really well vaccinated and protected. then there are pockets of places with very little protection. >> that concerns this kwhite house and the last. >> this was associated with an increase in vaccination rate, more testing, doubling of the mask wearing. we are not out of the woods just yet. a lot of americans who do not have natural immunity and have not been vaccinated. they are still susceptible. >> alaska remains on high covid alert. 20 of the medical facilities implemented a crisis of care. vaccine advisors will meet to discuss boosters and vaccinations that increases the likelihood of children receiving shots before halloween. >> truly devastating new data. roughly one in 500 american children has lost a mother, father or grandparent. one in 500. children of racial and ethnic minorities accounted for 65% of those that lost a primary care giver. minorities make up just 59% of the total u.s. population. white children only accounted for 35% of that. it strikes me so much this is happening at the same time we are asking these children to go back to school and they are dealing with the loss of a care giver. the long-term implications are difficult. those securing care have an increased risk of mental health issues, sexual assault. that's an entire generation of kids dealing with the ramifications of the paernd. that is not something you can easily adjust. ahead, the federal appeals court reinstating the ban of

restrictive ban in the country placing a pause on the lower court discussion that the decision was likely unconstitutional. that bans an abortion as soon as a doctor can detect a heartbeat. and allows private citizens to sue abortion providers. many opted not to reopen their doors while this case continues in court. because of the ban in texas, nearby states like louisiana and oklahoma are siege an influx of women hoping get their procedures before it is too late. >> women in texas went to sleep with constitutional rights and wake up no longer able to legally get an abortion. what is your reaction? >> it is not unexpected. we are not shocked. >> i read you said your phone lines have been absolutely flooded with calls from women in texas over the last month since this law was passed on september 1. what has it been like on the ground in shreveport? >> it has been a constant ringing of phones. yesterday, the highlight of my day was the gratitude expressed as we were moving appointments from the end of the month to squeeze them in. one of my nurses spent the day rearranging and confirming appointments. it's just been ongoing. normally 18 to 20% of the women we see are from texas. at this point in time, we are running closer to 60%. >> it jumped up that much in the last month. how far out are you booked? >> until the end of the month. we are trying to move forward and rearrange. we've extended our hours on consult days because of covid and the distancing we are still practicing here, we are having to limit the number of people in the building at times so it requires a lot of juggling on our end. >> i know hurricane ida also through a wrench with so many clinics forced to shut down. you have more women coming from texas. it is the perfect storm here. can

off of work, spend the night in louisiana, is that right? >> that is correct. we have a 24-hour waiting period which was extended to 72 hours. we are challenging that. in the meantime, we are at 24 hours. a lot of women cannot be away from home extended periods of time. most patients have families, jobs or are in school. we are seeing a lot not able to return the next day. there's a lot of juggling involved at this point. >> these are not teenaged girls. these are women who already have children and that's why they are coming to your clinic. what is your take on what you are hearing from women who come in? maybe even women in louisiana. how worried are they that they are going to see a similar law in their state like in texas? >> everybody is absolutely worried. not just

issues all interskekted. the president really tried to put a positive spin on things. he honed in that for the first time since march 2020, the u.s. has hit under 5% of under employment. he did not say that was partially because much of the u.s. work force has had to leave or could not find jobs. but that his administration is moving forward. >> right now, things in washington, as you may know, is awfully noisy. we are actually making real progress. maybe it doesn't seem fast enough. i'd like to see it faster. maybe it doesn't appear fast enough. we are making consistent steady progress. >> now yesterday in his remarks. president biden made the case congress needs to pass the agenda. that bill and social safety net. administration officials support that weak job's report yesterday, just bolsters the case. bottom line is that these issues are central to president biden and his administrations success. when you talk to white house officials over the past few months, they make the case that not only is it getting control of the pandemic but also making the economy work for everyone. that is going to bring that success and bring these two bills. bipartisan infrastructure bill and
