the mlb, contradicting its claim ittr invited trump to the world series. so who invited him? it is sunday, october 31st. i'm kendis gibson. >> i'm lindsey reiser. happy hall bean. the g20 working group set to start any moment now. we have a team following the latest from us from capitol hill to virginia to rome to glasgow. breaking in rome, president biden has started his meetings. the first meeting of the day did officially deginn. that meeting still going on. we also saw prince charles host ansa event at the summit this morning, focused on the climate crisis and the private sector. he said there is no more pressing issue for all of these world leaders and the health of the planet. >> today the president is set to host an event to discuss a shipping ooh crisis, one of his biggest priorities on the trip. the iranian nuclear problem and the global minimum tax he's expected to speak at 2:30 eastern time. tomorrow the president heads to the cop26 climate summit while democrats in washington work to pass his agenda which includes $555 billion for clean energy. mike memoli is with the president in rome, molly hunter is in glasgow. mike, we'll start with you right now. we gotht a new update, reportin here that we may see the president soon?en >> reporter: that's right. the presidentte potentially makg an announcement that the white house previewed as relates to tariffs being yeezed in the trade dispute between the u.s. and the european union t.u.s. allowing in my european steel and aluminum and the european i don't know backing off on tariffs on motorcycles and whiskeys. it's an indication of the way president biden has been trying to use this o summit to repair d strengthen the alliances with europe. when ith traveled withes the president toen the uk, to brusss in june, his first meeting with world leaders as president, certainly looked like he was pushing on aned open door. so many of those leaders were looking forward to meeting a leader that is no longer donald trump. theum president's drawdown in afghanistan, the handling of the submarine deal with australia, obviouslies has imposed new tensions on some of our closest relationships. the president, administration officials arepr indicating they feel this summit has been a success. we saw that announcement yesterday about a global minimum tax and the president trying to use the alliances we have to try to deal with some of the most pressing economic challenges at home, specifically higher prices and stress supply chains. the president expected to make announcements related to our own stockpiles of key goods, but to try to get our allies to better coordinate to deal with some of these supply chain bottlenecks. >> it will be a crucial speech we'll be watching for this afternoon. molly, to you in glasgow, all eyes willsg be on this cop26 summit here. what are the top priorities? >> good morning for a very rainy, windy glasgow this morning. all eyes will be on this. the world's media has already descended on this scottish city. this is being build as the last opportunity to meet the agreement that was decided in paris in ec2015. i wantin to show you some video one of the big players, greet that thunberg, the 18-year-old activist was kind of mobbed at the train station. she'll be leading protests all week. gearing up a for friday and saturday. protesters out in force hitting the streets. the world's media here, 25,000 people expected to come into glasgow, nearly 200 countries in addition to ngos and private companies. as a reminder, countries agreed to net zero emissions by 2050. in the last six years, countries went back to their capitals and were told to come back with individual plans that were even more ambitious. the problem, guy, and what we're already seeing is those plans are not enough. by the numbers they represent basically than a 1% cut of emissions. scientists say what we need is close to 7% cut of emissions over the next decade. the u.s. has been very vocal. president biden has laid out an am by plan. a couple big problems, specifically china, of course. the world, cannot reach these goalsot without china. as of now xi jinping is not going to come do glasgow. he may join by video conference. biden also needs congress to get on board to plow ahead with these ambitious goals. guys. >> president xi hasn't left china in some 21 months. thanks to molly hunter and mike memoli kicking things off. let's bring in our political panel, p.j. crowley, former assistant secretary of state and hinojosa is a democratic party strategist. president biden is going to try to get commitmention from other world leaders on climate change. what's that process like behind the scenes? >> it probably won't be as dramatic asas it was in 2009 at the koppen haggen summit when president barack obama and secretary of state hillary clinton barged into a leaders meeting of the chinese, brazilian and indian leaders to encourage them to do more. we'll see less drama from that. obviously the president will be encouraging these leaders, particularly india, to do more. of course, the united states has its own credibility problem. these leaders are both students of u.s. politics and can push back on president biden despite hises best efforts and say, hey if president trump is re-elected in 2024, he'll roll back these things again likell he did in 2017. there's going to be a lot of headwinds here even as the leaders try e to do what they c to advance this agenda. >> i want to show this headline that reads why the cop26 climate summit won't save the planet. it says there's almost no chance that they'll agree to do what things need to be done. we heard a lot of the pressure is on china. we don't even know if the president will be there. your thoughts on that? >> well, i think that while they might not be able to make as much progress as scientists hope, i think what you are seeing is president biden going to the table after reaching a deal with congress on making significant and historic progress on climate change. here will be able to go to the table and talk about how he will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the steps they will take to make historic investment. >> do you think that's added pressure sochi. they don't to do it by tuesday. when he's making this big announcement, there won't be anything technicallynt passed, signed. >> he has a framework that congress has actually agreed to. i thinkct over the last few mons you've seen those negotiations haveu' gone back and forth. we finally have the two senators on board and definitely have the progressive caucus on tboard. i do think it is a big step. he can still go into those negotiations and talk about how he has moved the ball forward. i want to emphasize what t.j. said as well. he's not donald trump. he wants to work with the world leaders, he wants to make progress on climate change.to it's refreshing for these world leaders to see president biden who actually knows what he's talking about on climate change and is committed to ensuring we meet our goals. i think this is a breath of fresh air as you see our leader go into these negotiations and really talk about his commitment to reduce greenhouse gases. >> p.j., let's be frank. we were discussing it in the last ushour, that a lot of thes issues, whether the iran nuclear talks, climate change, covid crisis, all of them deal with china and russia and the leaders of those countries are not there. does it make it advantageous for the u.s. or a lost opportunity right now to get any progress done at a conference like this? >> i think it is advantageous to the table, having joe biden at the table, xi jinping not there, gives the united states a chance to regain momentum in terms of global leadership. the challenge for all of these leaders is actually to deliver results, collective action on the international stage has been haltding. each of these leaders has to not only commit to something in glasgow, but they haveom to com backve to their capitals and convert pledges for real action. that's the challenge for the united states as twell. the democratic party seems committed to advanced the climate agenda, and the republican party is sitting on sidelines. that is a challenge here, how do we create a unified political position whereca both democrats andde republicans are committedo advance the climate agenda. that's really a challenge for the country, that this has become deeply polarized. >> we'll have to leave it there. thank you so much. e. we'll dive right now into all r that legislation on capit hill. aftern a months' long logjam, house democrats are eyeing a tuesday vote on president biden's economic and infrastructure packages that could define his first term. >> democrats have to finish revisions today. julie tsirkin is on capitol hill withn details. julie, are democrats all on board? >> reporter: that's the million dollar question here. progressives have been saying for months are linked. one congressman told me they needng to see a blood oath that the $1.7 trillion bill can pass both chambers before agreeing to vote on the bipartisan plan. now, that's set to happen on tuesday per house democratic leadership. let's talk about senators manchin and sinema. we still don't have any definitive statements from them in support of this plan. they issued statements supporting thest negotiation process.ot one notable sign yesterday is house progressive endorse this quick timeline for tuesday's pass kaj. that's something to key an eye on kehere. also, we don't know where senators manchin and sinema state. of course, jayapal met with senator sinema on thursday. i'm told that's a big breakthrough. i beg you to send me snacks to the hallway tomorrow where i'll spend my day to gear up for the tuesday vote to find out if they are on board for this bill or not. >> s julie, we know there's a l thereth originally that was in e bill on the chopping block including paid family lead. meghan markle reached out to lawmakers asking democrats to sl vag this, which many progressives do. is there any likeihood of that? >> reporter: paid family leave is a big issue here. that was not just a top priority for democrats, but something the president ran on during his campaign. right now it's not in this $1.75 trillion package in any way, shape or form. senator gillibrand and murray, gillibrand a mom of two school-age children. they're-a pleading with senator manchin who is opposing paid family leave policies to include it in the reconciliation package in any way,on in four weeks, in2 weeks, employer-to-employee matching. i spoke to her before she left town and offered manchin basically anything that would stick.ll he's still opposing it. meghan markle sent a letter to congress earlier this month asking for action on universal paid leave. she followed up to a leader to those two senators, manchin and sinema, thanking them for that time on this, issue. >> that letter from meghan markle saying she's not a politician orno elected officia just a citizen hoping for action. >> julie tsirkin, thank you. aie friend. that's> how actor alec baldwin describes the cinematographer killed on the set of "rust." later, more than 700 pages of documents that trump wants to keep from theha eyes of the january 6thf committee. whatmm could lie within them ne?

>> i'm starting to wonder where the trump election law -- went to law school and how they passed the bar exam knowing every court ruled against him at that point in time, every local election jurisdiction ruled against them, that there was zero evidence, as there is to this day, of election fraud, yet they still come up with this to enable a president to overturn a lawful election. it's scary how close this came. >> we have these new details about what records former president trump wants to keep secret from the january 6th committee. we're talking more than 770 pages including daily presidential diaries, call logs, handwritten notes from mark meadows. what do you milwaukee of the desire to prevent those from coming public? >> because i think the documents would document an attempted coup that didn't work and would document an assault on the nation's capitol, the citadel of our democracy. i suppose i could stake this personally because i was in the room where it happened, but i think what's more important is it was an attack on a lawful election, an attack on our democracy, an attack on the very fabric of our country. the last thing they want out there is they move toward the midterms they're so confident about, is the fact that they attempted to overturn a lawful election in a violent way. >> the january 6th committee is also examining that law that certifies the election. they're essentially looking for ways to tighten the loophole in their efforts to overthrow the election. this is all still in its inf infancy. it could contradict trump's statements that this panel has no legislative purpose. we could see legislation as a result. would that be something you would throw your support behind? >> i'm already there. there's important legislation that references abuses that took place under the trump administration. as a member of the intel committee i watched the trump administration obstruct justice as we attempted to find out what happened when russia attacked our democratic process. i was there when we learned that the trump administration had extorted the ukrainian government for political gain. as the mueller report shows, they obstructed justice, they obstructed congress's attempt lawfully to find out exactly what took place. and so far they got away with it. so it has to end now. congress -- to protect our democracy, congress has to enforce the subpoenas. the select committee has to have the power. and the good news is it's doing so on a bipartisan basis, an enforcement of the bannon subpoenas, have also been enforced and gotten some bipartisan support. you called adam kinzinger a bold choice for power. he announced this week he doesn't have an intention to run again. obviously kinzinger, he's gotten a lot of rebuke from republicans. there's talk this may have more to do with the fact of redistricting and he would have to face a fellow republican who is sitting in congress. what impact will his absence have in congress? >> you know, my concern is that those who did speak truth to power will get forced out. i think we've seen it. there were other examples with republicans who spoke out against the trump administration and they decide just not to run. all along as a democrat, i was one of those asking them to show this courage. so for democrats who asked for this, we have to, on the other hand, give kudos and support those who showed that kind of courage. in the final analysis, the democrats can't do this alone. >> quick question for you, congressman. there's something to be said for the fact that adam kinzinger is more moderate. for example, senator manchin has been getting so much attack over the strong lines in the sand that he's drawing over reconciliation here. is there room for moderates in congress still? >> i think in the final analysis -- i won a special election, when i sat down, republican mark kirk came um to me and said, in the final analysis, the only thing that gets done in congress is through compromise. it usually happens in the middle. what we're watching this coming week where we're trying to pass this important legislation, reconciliation and infrastructure, it's a lot like what we saw with health care. it takes time. it's complicated. it's nuanced and it finally meets in the middle. what we don't need is more people staking out ground and saying this has to happen or i won't support it. we need folks willing to compromise. typically that means bipartisan cooperation. >> congressman, we'll have to leave it there. thank you so much for your time this morning. >> thank you. we in the stretch of virginia's most expensive governor's race in history. the last ditch efforts by terry mcauliffe and glenn youngkin to bring in those voters. lunchables! built to be eaten. there is something i want to ask you. umm, it's a little soon... the new iphone 13 pro is here. what do you say, switch to t-mobile with me?

>> the university of florida is the flagship in the place. it's a place where they go because it is a plumb university, influential university. there is a question about governor ron desantis. he's made part of his political identity about he's against political censorship and curtailing free speech rights of parents. now you have the two univerity professors, now there's three, who have testified in trial in court cases against the state and now they're being muzzled, they're being censored, prevented by the government from speaking out and telling the truth, presumably. we'd like to know what the governor thinks. so far we haven't heard from him. >> our thanks to marc caputo right there. thank you. appreciate it. >> thank you. we're keeping an eye on the situation in rome right now. developments there where president biden and the european union president will formally announce a deal on steel and aluminum tariffs. we're going to bring it to you live. watching for that. former president trump's baseball boycott appears to be over. he was in the stands last night. that's not the only thing that had people talking. the stadium chant that many say is racist next. their only friend?

seven months ago he called for the boycott of major league baseball after major league baseball decided to pull the all-star game out of atlanta and move it to colorado. added new measures for voter i.d. laws pertaining to mail-in ballots. last night the president was here in georgia. you could also note that this is where he lost, by just over 11,000 votes in last year's 2020 election. but what you see in that video is him doing the tomahawk chop. this is a couple months after the cleveland indians said they were changing to the cleveland guardians. but this was the president that came. we should note, the atlanta braves set up a suite for him. they never showed him up on the jumbotron. you saw the grumbles but he waived to fans. the tomahawk chop is another part of the story here. insensitive. many would call it racist. this is a hollywood stereotype. it is not a native american chant. it is not a native american song for the last 30 years atlanta braves fans have ton this chant. last night attendance was more than 40,000 and more than 90% of fans, you could say, engaged in this chop. you saw the president taking on, as he likes to do, the cultural hot button i guess -- i'm trying to figure out what to call the tomahawk chop here. what he did is show up in atlanta and suggest that he was cheering for the atlanta braves and also standing in the middle of this divisive issue. >> many people call it racist. vaughn, i've got 20 seconds here. was the president invited or did he invite himself? >> reporter: that's where the discrepancy is. the president putting out in a tweet last night that he was invited by major league baseball yet major league baseball has not confirmed that to nbc news and he did not appear alongside any baseball officials or atlanta braves ownership. he was quite a ways down the first baseline. he did appear though with u.s. senate republican hopeful herschel walker at the game. >> mlb saying i don't know her doing that whole thing with the invite. vaughn hillyard, thank you. >> thank you for watching msnbc reports. >> i'm lindsey reiser. >> i'm kendis gibson. velshi starts right now. we're following a flurry of activity among democrats as they push for votes as soon as tuesday on the center piece of president biden's agenda to rebuild the infrastructure and shore up the social safety net. plus, two days from the key bell wetever event in virginia. we'll have brand-new polling from nbc news that outlines the challenges ahead for democrats and exploding the myth of america as a melting pot. we'll highlight an important conversation about america's immigration policies. then the inflation story you haven't heard about the folks who have been on the front lines of the covid economy from the start and who are facing the highest stakes and toughest choices. velshi starts now. good morning, happy halloween. we are awaiting expected results from joe biden at the g20. biden will appear with the eu commission president. we'll have those remarks live when they happen. meanwhile, a vote for joe biden's massive and ambitious and quite possibly transformational agenda has now been tentatively scheduled for tuesday. house speaker nancy pelosi has directed members of her party to finish writing the build back better plan live today so it can be sent to the rules committee for approval tomorrow and be ready to be voted on alongside
