Terry and i share a lot in common. I ran against Donald Trump and so has terry. [ Crowd Chanting ] its not a trump rally. Let them holler. No one is paying attention. The president , former president , is expected to speak today in arizona, one of the Swing States that in fact cost him the White House in november. And on the covid watch this hour, we have nbcs monica alba. Monica, you first, as we have president biden with some of his strongest comments for the rise in covid cases. What exactly did he say . Reporter its something, alex, the White House is following very closely. The president just got a lengthy briefing from his covid Response Team Yesterday in the oval office. That was behind closed doors, but what we do know is theyre evaluating and weighing whether to change any recommendations or guidance when it comes to masking or social distancing. As of now they say theres no intention to alter those, but that the science will really be the driver. So last night when he spoke i
Congressman adam kinzinger, for example. Joining me now congresswoman Stacey Plaskett from the u. S. Virgin islands and Congressman Joaquin Castro of texas. They also both served as House Impeachment Managers during the second Impeachment Trial of Donald Trump. So i am positive they have a lot to say. Im going to start with you congresswoman Stacey Plaskett because i think one thing that a lot of people are frustrated by is why does it have to be bipartisan . Why do we care how many republicans are on this committee. There is no convincing these people of logic. So doesnt it make sense to just proceed with what they have . They have a quorum, and get the Peoples Business done. Whats your take . Well, first, good morning to you and good morning to my colleague joaquin. Its so good to be with you both this morning. I think that we as you recall, we tried to create this into a bipartisan independent commission from the beginning, and i think what the speaker has chosen to do by naming an
want a deposition, too. that all could possibly be coming down the road, but where things stand right now with scavino and the other trump aides, it s important to break this down one by one, because it s not just scavino. there s also steve bannon, mark meadows, and also kash patel, who was a top official at the defense department. bannon has said he s going to put his foot down and take trump s direction and try to fight this in court, try to claim executive privilege. the legal scholars say that s probably never going to work, but we ll see if it goes to court. and then meadows and patel, the committee, the january 6th select committee in the house put out a statement saying that those two guys are engaging with lawmakers, they are trying to figure out a way forward. so at this moment that first batch of subpoenas, we re starting to get some responses. it s really not clear if any of them are really going to comply and give over any documents or any testimony, but this is
voters to give the democrat continued control over the house and senate. it makes little sense politically. she already taken a trip to virginia, where on going governor race is very close. if polling is correct, republicans found a way to be competitive in statewide races in blue states. free advice is usually worth when you pay for, i am giving it anyway, if democrats are struggling to win a statewide race in virginia, they will be in for a very long night when midterms roll around, best thing that democrats have no is the year long infomercial that mainstream media will give them. and a republican party that sometimes lights to fight among themselves. joining me now. white house chief of staff reince priebus. is kamala harris the best closing argument for virginia or anyone where else heading to the midterms. well, you know, trey, by the way thank you for having me, awesome to be on your show. this to me is a total base play. and both parties now are playing a differen
The january 6th attack have seeped into virginia s race for governor. republican glenn youngkin is calling for an audit of the voting machines used in the election. and as cnn s jeff zeleny reports, the democrat in the race, former governor terry mccullagh, may be trying to distance himself from joe biden. reporter: he s long been a joe biden kind of democrat. you re not going to find anyone, i mean anyone, who knows how to get more done for virginia than terry. that s a fact. reporter: and in virginia where mccull he s running again always been a plus. but the lackluster september jobs report friday the jobs numbers remind us that we have important work ahead of us.
