system we are operating in. here s what the president said today. i know you are hearing a lot about supply chains and how hard it is to get a range of things from a toaster to sneakers to bicycles to bedroom furniture. i want to be clear, this is across the board commitment to going to 24/7. this is a big first step in speeding up the movement of materials and goods through our supply chain. but now we need the rest of the private sector chain to step up as well. this is not called a supply chain for nothing. this seems of vital importance to the biden presidency to get what they proposed today right. yeah, it is, nicole. i mean the resulting inflation that we have seen has chilled consumer confidence and also weighed on biden s approval ratings which i think we have all been very closely watching, especially ahead of the gubernatorial race. but it is a double edged sword
general rosen, who replaced mr. barr. if mr. rosen didn t go along with donald trump s plot, plan, to overturn the election results. we learned a lot of that from the interim report. just days later now, the subpoena for jeffrey clark to provide testimony to the select committee investigating the insurrection. joining our conversation, washington post congressional correspondent, jackie. what do you know? hey, nicole. the committee just issued a subpoena were jeffrey clark, which we reported several hours ago, that that was to be expected. this is as the committee ramps up their measures. they want to move as expeditiously as possible and after negotiations between clark s legal team and the committee collapsed as they were trying to hash out the terms of the a.b. i apologize for all

be here, nicole n a place where you can really see the past laid to rest when it comes to our expectations as americans. we have always been a country that thought things would arrive at our door whenever we wanted them to. but it turns out it was not magic. it was a fragile global supply chain. it was blown apart by covid. the port was overwhelmed. in april we spoke to the executive director who told us he was staring down the barrel of an unprecedented surge in shipping in the 94-year history of this port. the port has retooled. it is jamming 60% more cargo onto the ships. it is building some of the biggest cranes in the world in order to handle bigger ships. office this a reaction to what s going on. of course there is a secondary problem. that is the problems we didn t foresee. i mean, our system for predicting what you and i are going to buy, the kind of thing that allows us to receive thing as quickly as we do is based on
