it s jabberwocky, nonsense. he s trying to find an escape hatch for himself because obviously he said something that was not true. and there s no easy answer. but jake, i think this goes to the heart of what the challenge is that mccarthy has trying to lead the house gop. he is obsessed with trying to keep donald trump happy, and at every turn, he has to be mindful of that. so he cannot say in public what he actually said in private in the days after january 6th because that s heresy now in his party. and this is also something, in the book we chronicle at great length in the weeks and months after january 6th, this walkback. not just by kevin mccarthy but by every major figure in the gop, back to donald trump s embrace. jonathan and alex, thanks to you both. congrats on another amazing scoop. their book, titled this will not pass, trump, biden, and the battle for america s future comes out may 3rd. i can t wait to read it.
didn t. it s out may 3rd, kate. what date? may 3rd. you are the best, thank you. out front next, maps required here masks required here, but not there. a reporter with many other americans in a feat of confusion, planes, trains, takes, all of it have different mask policies in different cities. plus the blame game. voters angry about some prices. some are pointing fingers at the president. ever since mr. biden took office, everything has been going up. > the air

worried? well, i would make two points, number one, president trump is famous for a sort of slow buildup and a number of past cases, he doesn t respond initially. but after he absorbs the coverage for a few day s we have a lot of conversations that were had in the days, weeks and months after january 6th. some of which we have not reported yet. in this book that s out may 3rd. so i think it may be premature to guess how president trump is going to fully respond to this book when he hasn t seen only but a couple of passages. good point. some of the loudest voices in trump world isn t going to step up and slam mccarthy.
