nfl starts a new streaming service. my from cnbc, the facts, the truth, the news with shepard smith. we could learn a lot this week about what's ahead for our economy. conflicting datathe clearest sign of what's to come. on wednesday, the feds set and d signals about whether we are headed for a recession, but in the coming days, we are expected to get our clearest sign yet of what is to come. the feds are set to meet and determine how much to raise interest rates. on thursday, new gdp numbers will show whether the economy grew or shrank over the past three months. and on friday, consumer price inflation numbers are such a drop. plus several tech giants will report their earnings this week. all major indicators for the health of the overall economy. the biden administration is trying to get ahead of what could be a tough outlook. >> my hope is we go from this rapid growth to steady growth, and we will see some coming down, but i don't think we wil , god willing, see a recession. >> i am not saying we will definitely avoid a recession, but i thinep inflation down. >> call it what you want, people have been facing red hot inflation for months. according to a recent poll from ofmarketll ameriore ththe alf l can stay strong and bring inflation down. >> call it what you want, but people have been facing red-hot inflation numbers for months. according to a recent poll, more than half of all americans think the country is already in a recession even though gdp numbers do not reflect it. the question is, how does the feds data? it all depends on which version of it shows up this week. will it be the firebreathing inflation slaying or the one that sees signs inflation is easing or somebody in between? we will know soon enough. critics point out the same folks who said inflation was transitory, they are all now trying to play optimist on the possibility of a recession. on what exactly does the administrations argument hinge and our economists buying? >> the big argument from the administration and other optimist is we had a strong jobs market. it is unusual to see an inflation with that rate of 3.6% but there are signs it is starting to turn. the number of jobless claims last week shot up to the highest since november. the nonrecession camp also argues the consumer is in pretty good shape in the american express numbers and other data have shown spending is strong, but, inflation is taking a toll and there are signs it is starting to turn. just this evening, walmart warned investors profits but we were so unexpected, cutting their outlook for the second time this year. citing inflation, that is hurting demand for general merchandise. the good news is even if we go into a recession, technically, the lack of consumer leverage and indebtedness we have seen it other recessions is why many are thinking that it would be a shallo long recesw on. >> if weand anot eeing too gnsf recession. >> if we started seeing signs of recession, what does that do to the fed to tolerate pain in the economy. they are trying to bring? own th >> right now, the fund has made it clear that inflation is job number one, and they have signaled they are willing to tolerate some paint in the economy or even a recession to bring down that inflation level. that is why many think they should keep their eye on the ball and keep raising interest rates until inflation comes down. but there is a growing school of thought, and this is starting to make its way into the market, but says the fed will pull back or even stop raising rates as the economy deteriorates. the fed does not want to see unemployment rate stood up and people losing their jobs and looking for work again. it is thinking that the feds will stop raising interest rates at the end of the year, and even starting to think that the feds will cut rates next year. go the other way to stimulate the economy. it appears it appears the justice department's investigation of e department's investigation of the january 6th investigation is expanding and reaching all the way up to the white house. nbc news has learned that the former vice president's chief of staff under subpoena and appear before the federal grand jury investigating the attack in d.c. he was with the vice president at the capital as the riders closed in, many calling for him to be hanged. he is the highest rankinedits g official knowledge of testified before the grand jury. in the meantime, we are learning that former president trump made some significant edits to that speech he gave to the nation on january 7th, the day after the supporters attacked the capital. to date the january 6th committee released a draft copy of the speech with handwritten notes. you can see that the lines were deleted and condemned the riders and call for their prosecution. all lawbreakers are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. we must sendp a clear mescross chunk that said, i am directing the department of justice to enjoy all lawbreakers are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. we must send a clear message, not with mercy, with justice. legal consequences must be swift and firm. the he removed several lines that said, i want to be very clear, you do not represent me. you do not represent the movement. he changes sentence, you belong in jail to you will pay. the committee also released more testimony from his closest white house adviser and staffers and that includes the former white house counsel pat cipollone. he told the committee he wanted mr. trump to be more forceful in condemning the rioters. >> in my view, he needed to express, very clearly, that the people who made violent acts and went into the capital, did what they did, should be prosecuted. and should be arrested. >> today, president biden blasted the former president for failing to act and stop the deadly ryan. he met for three hours, the defeated former president of the united states watched it all happen as he sat in the comfort of the private dining room next to the oval office. while he was doing that, brave law enforcement offices were subjected to hell for three hours. dripping in blood and surrounded by carnage. face-to-face with crazed mob that believe the lies of the future present -- donald trump lack the courage to act. >> the january 6th committee says it will conside house offi clarenceissuing a omas, subpoena to the wife of clarence thomas, if she is not willing to testify voluntarily. ginni thomas has come under scrutiny for text messages she sent to president trump's chief of staff mark meadows. in them, she questions the results of the 2020 election. the washington post reports she sent emails to state lawmakers in arizona, urging them to overturn mr. trump's election loss there. let's bring in daniel perry, the former deputy attorney general for new york, and, mark short going before the federal grand jury. what does that signal to you? >> i don't know if i would go so far as to call it a watershed moment but is a turning point. as you pointed out, he is the first insider that we are aware of that has testified before this grand jury. we have heard news reports and we can see an almost real time that some of the hearing testimonof cassidy hutchinsony, particularo cassidy hutchinson and others, has jolted the justice department into action and we have recently seen a flurry of activity, including the seizure of cell phones of some of the president's advisers, and some folks relating to the, quote, unquote, the fake electors who have been issued subpoenas. this is the highest white house official who we are aware of that has testified before the grand jury and we are aware that he's got some devastating information that could be relevant to this criminal probe. >> jenny thomas. they are considering a subpoena. then there is the what f januaryre in 6th committee who has been treading carefully with ginni thomas, but now they are considering a subpoena. what factors into their decision-making? >> i think it is a sliding scale. how informative her testimony will be up against kind of the optical issues, the pr issues, the fight that they know she will put on and the destruction it will cause. so, they have a better sense than we do useful testimoni, . even after eight of these hearings, how useful her testimony is. no doubt they are weighing the benefits against the disadvantages and will decide whether or not to seek her testimony against what her lawyers have promised will be a fight.e district attorney's off has its ow >> then there is the criminal case in georgia. the fulton county district attorney's office has its own spiraling investigation. governor brian kemp is expected to testify today and some experts say the day could be holding towards racketeering charges. do you agree? >> i think from the evidence that we have seen, she is building a fairly broad case, not a narrow case of election interference. it is given a blizzard of target letters and subpoenas that that grand jury has been issuing and given that racketeering charges are his signature, i think she -- this is not just bravado. she is trying to build a broad enterprise, ricoh style, case. again, we don't know exactly who , but again, given the sheer breadth of these letters and subpoenas, things like -- it seems like she is looking to make a robust and far-reaching case. >> would you expect the criminal case to move along faster than the federal one? >> it is really hard to say. i think that the attorney general has some serious -- i hate this apolitical consideration because the department of justice is not supposed to concern itself with political consideration, but, he may very well be from i would say the slow walk that we have seen here. she, on the other hand, does not have some of those same kinds of concerna fight. it could be sometime before they are going this way to the court. we have investigations as a they but trying we already know a lot of the recipients of these subpoenas will be putting up a fight. it could be some time before it winds its way to the courts. in a rico investigation is a serious one and take some time to build from the ground up. it could be a matter of months, it could be longer but it's hard to say. she doesn't have the same kind of political time line consideration around the election that the department of justice is likely to be considering. >> all very interesting. danya perry, thank you for your time. president biden says he is feeling
