it's a north american summit with some very tense issues on the table. yes, some regional economic cooperation, yes, some efforts to advance climate change but the toughest issues, migration. migration, trying to find new ways to stop migration from latin america and central america through mexico into the united states, also efforts to stop fentanyl trafficking across the u.s./mexican border. you see the three leaders in the center there, the first lady steps aside now as we watch this play out. a happy picture there, cooperative picture there but these are tense conversations, more on this as the day continues on cnn. appreciate your time on "inside politics." we'll see you tomorrow. abby phillip picks up our coverage right now. hi, i'm abby phillip here in washington. right now, you're looking at pictures of president biden on his high-profile foreign trip with mexican -- with his mexican and canadian counterparts. you see them -- we'll listen in

for just one second. see if he takes any questions. [ applause ] [ speaking non-english ] >> we're going to keep following president biden on this trip, but in the meantime, here at home pressure is growing for him to respond after new information revealed that classified documents were found in his private office late last year. and just in to cnn we are learning more about what is in

those documents and also about what the attorney merrick garland is doing about them and how lawmakers in both parties are reacting today. president biden has not responded to questions on the issue twice today. you saw him there again with reporters but he will face reporters again later this afternoon and we'll see if he responds then. in the meantime, we have full team coverage here with evan perez and phil mattingly in washington. also with us cnn legal analyst and a former obama white house ethics czar norm eisen. we're getting new information right now about both what is in the documents and also how this is being handled by the department of justice. what do you know this afternoon, evan? >> well, abby, what we know is that, you know, the biden white house has described that there were fewer than a dozen documents. we now know from sources who talked to jamie gangel that we're talking about ten documents that were found in a

closet at an office that the then vice president who was leaving office had set up with the university of pennsylvania at a center here in washington. now, these documents apparently cover -- they were related to intelligence memos, they were briefing materials that were prepared for biden when he was vice president and they cover a range of topics including iran, ukraine and the united kingdom so these were documents that would have been prepared for him when he was serving as vice president and somehow they ended up in boxes sent over and were provided -- rather housed at his office that was being set up at the university of pennsylvania here in washington. a lawyer who worked for joe biden and his operation there, political operation was at the center trying to close out this office last fall and that's when they came across these documents

inside a manila folder and this person saw a label that clearly identified material that said it was classified and that's when, of course, everything stopped and they alerted the national archives and now we have obviously an investigation into exactly how they ended up there, abby. >> evan, what are you learning about the status of that investigation? where are we on that? >> well, merrick garland, the attorney general appointed john lausch, a u.s. attorney in chicago, one of two u.s. attorneys that were appointed by donald trump that are still serving in the justice department. he was kept on to handle a couple politically sensitive investigations and this one is now, you would say, probably among the most politically sensitive that is going on. he is -- he has been looking at doing a review of the documents with the fbi and what we have been told, abby, is that he has completed at least the preliminary part of this.

has come back and has briefed the attorney general and now the decision rests with merrick garland and, you know, whether this becomes a full-blown investigation, you have to think that, you know, we've watched merrick garland operate and we've seen how chris wray at the fbi operated. you have to think that they're going to try to do things by the book, make sure that they handle this in the same manner that they handled the trump investigation which is still ongoing. >> we should note that merrick garland is with president biden in mexico city right now as -- >> awkwardly sitting next to him. >> awkwardly sitting next to him as these are being shouted by reporters. i have to ask you here because the time line is very significant. november 2nd when they first encountered these documents,s that is just before the midterm elections. why is it that we're only learning about it now. >> there's been no explicit explanation as to why there has

been a delay. some people have talked to made the point that the administration was cognizant of the fact there was a review under way that this had been referred to the justice department and that the u.s. attorney that evan was talking about in illinois was in the midst of working through this process, perhaps they didn't want to get involved in that and certainly this is a white house that for the better part of two years has done everything in their power not to be seen as playing any role in the justice department's efforts or decisions but it is certainly a question they are hearing from lawmakers on capitol hill and not necessarily just republicans, now, it's worth noting white house officials have not spoken publicly about this beyond the on the record statement they released from the white house counsel's office last night. that statement confirming that the documents had been found and confirming a review was under way then giving a detailed time line, a time line detailed again behind the scenes privately in a white house call with allies that my colleague jeff zeleny is reporting on and gave a top line view of what they said those documents actually were to some degree. no details obviously they are

classified documents but downplaying those documents saying they were not particularly sensitive and the intelligence community was not particularly concerned about those documents, obviously we don't know what those documents actually are specifically and the white house hasn't publicly said anything about those documents, but the primary purpose of the call to amplify the idea that immediately once documents were found or once the president's private lawyer found a document with classified markings a call was made to the counsel's office, who then called the national archives and the archives went over and picked up those documents the next morning trying to draw a clear contrast from the former president to make sure they cooperated every step of the way. >> there is a clear contrast in these two case, ten documents according to our reporting but, norm, you were in the obama administration. their ethics czar early on. i think we have to ask the same question we would have asked when we were dealing with this issue with trump. how could something like this

have happened? can you think of any good reason why documents would have remained in his personal office for this length of time? >> well, abby, the reality of classified document handling, i was involved in writing the relative eo when i was in the obama administration, then, of course, as ambassador i was subject to this regime and oversaw over 200 people who had to follow these rules. the reality is that accidents do happen all the time and the key -- so it's not a good reason but it's a human reason and the key question is, was it willful and intentional? if you look at the criminal laws that apply to this question of documents, classified documents being held outside of government premises, the felony laws all talk about willful or intentional misconduct. right now we have no indication

of that and as you've noted, that's very different from the pattern of behavior exhibited by the former president and those around him. >> and to that point, former president trump did not return -- we're talking about over a dozen boxes to the national archives, the question in that case in addition to the fact that they were classified, why they weren't returned promptly. from the department of justice's perspective seems like no way to disentangle it from the politics of the trump probe. do you see any evidence that doj is treating these cases differently. >> no, not so far. look, we are still in the early stages of this one. the justice department has been doing this review for a few weeks now, and i think certainly merrick garland and chris wray at the fbi are both cognizant on the lens under which this will be seen and one reason i think

we can expect they'll try to make sure they follow all of the rules as they would do in any one of these cases especially what they've gone through with the donald trump case, obviously as you guys have pointed out, you know, certainly there have been significant differences including the lack of cooperation and justice department says obstruction that occurred in the example of the former president donald trump. so, you know, you can expect that they're going to try to make sure they can, you know, hold this up and it'll be seen as being handled very fairly, which is why they appointed john lausch, you know, the trump appointee in chicago to handle this matter. but you're so right. the there's no way to disentangle it from politics and merrick garland is very much aware of that and they'll want to make sure they figure out everything about where the documents were held, were there any documents anywhere else in any of the properties that the president

operated in during the last six years, those are the questions that will be asked. >> and that is a key question, because norm says accidents do happen but the question is, do they know what they don't know? do they foe what might be out there? i have to ask you one of the factual pieces of information we got from jamie gangel's great reporting, these documents were, it seems found in a box that contained a lot of personal effects including information about beau biden's funeral, et cetera. however, in the trump case, his documents were also entangled with a lot of personal effects. does that matter to you? does that actually make it worse? were they mishandled because they were mixed in with things that were unclassified? >> abby, it's such early days. we really don't know. john lausch probably does know. he's had a couple months to take an initial look at what happened here. joe biden may never have known

that these documents were in that box. someone else may have loaded them in. they were in a sealed envelope marked personal. so, you know, those are the kinds of things that the investigators are going to have to look at. they have to treat like situations alike. there are some other differences here, the volume of documents, the number is smaller. there's no indication that there's code word, the most sensitive documents as we do have in the mar-a-lago case. and there's no finding of probable cause. there was a search warrant, a judge found probable cause of criminal violations. we don't have any of that here, but by the same token we do need answers to these basic factual questions and it needs to be done in a way that inspires the confidence of the american people that this was fairly and completely looked at. >> it's such a good point.

i'll let you have the last word. >> i'm sorry, yeah, just one last quick thing, to norm's point i think the answers that we're getting from the white house are very important and, look, we already are seeing contradictions, you know, yesterday we heard from some officials who indicated that the president, his team didn't really know what was in these documents yet today they're doing a call with allies saying this is not that important and the intelligence community doesn't care bit. they'll have to get their story straight as the days come, you know, in the days ahead. >> yeah, certainly a lot more to learn about what transpired here and now that that review seems to be nearing its completion, hopefully we should get more answers soon evan, phil and norm, thank you all. and let's talk now about biden's foreign trip as the pressure builds on his administration to act on the immigration crisis. we are learning this afternoon that the white house is

preparing to announce new measures to curb migrant crossings at the southern border. cnn's priscilla alvarez is in mexico city with the president. what do we know about the new initiative? >> well, we know that it all plays into that key issue of trying to stem the flow of migration, in fact, the three leaders are meeting at the building behind me, the national palace where they'll have these discussions. and these measures that the administration is rolling out are really focused on trying to make legal pathways to the united states or even canada or mexico accessible to them. so it includes a virtual portal that is supposed to serve as sort of a one-stop shop for migrants to apply for legal pathway or see what they're eligible for and includes a physical center in southern mexico, specifically tapachula, where they can pass through and get information on how to apply to my great legally. that is really the focus here is how to get migrants to stop

regularly coming to the border but instead come through legal means, now, of course, these options need to be viable and that is what will ultimately measure their success. my grants are often urgently leaving deteriorating conditions and so a senior administration official when i asked that question told me that, look, this is an experiment and they're going to have to work with regional partners to find solutions, that is in part the focus of today looking at economic development, climate change, trade among a slew of other issues. now, we will be hearing from all three leaders later today. they will be delivering statements and we'll be watching for those, abby. >> really important developments, priscilla, thank you so much in mexico city. and the storms wreaking havoc on the west coast are not letting up today. more heavy rain is in the forecast as millions across california could face deadly floodwaters, mudslides and very strong winds. is there any relief in sight? plus, police say they are now

hydrant added to their misery and a deluge triggered massive rockslides. more scary scenes like this are a big fear. mike valerio is there but let's get outside to camila bernal in santa cruz. camila, what are you seeing out there? >> reporter: hey, abby, just a lot of standing water and people having to deal with all of that water inside of their homes. we're in a neighborhood where you see street after street flooded and just to give you some perspective. here's the bus stop. it is halfway underwater. i spoke to the people in this house, they told me they were not flooded but the house behind it completely flooded. the guy there told me, look, it to put everything on high places just so i wouldn't lose all of my stuff and i talked to a lot of people here who told me that they lived here for years and this is it the worst that it's ever been.

there are some of the evacuation orders that have been lifted. but officials here in the county telling me that still about 20,000 people are without power right now. so you're dealing with the flooding and then you also do not have power. county officials also telling me that a lot of trees fell on top of homes overnight telling me that they don't know exactly how many injuries or what happened overnight but they're trying to evaluate all of that as we wake up and see all of this. you know, people are being told do not drive because many of the streets look like this so, of cours course, it's dangerous. if you do not have to be out on the roads do not drive because you're putting everyone at risk. sheriff's deputies are working around the clock telling people to go back to their homes. they have been working 24/7 and they're super overwhelmed so it's been really tough for a lot of the local authorities here and the problem is they're going to have to keep cleaning. this is going to take days, maybe even weeks to clean up and

then you're also expecting more rain so people here, of course, worried, abby. >> yeah, i mean so much water and it's flowing like a river behind you. let's go to santa barbara where mike valerio is there. mike, i see the creek behind you and it is moving so what is going on where you are? >> reporter: you know, we're actually in montecito next door to santa barbara and that's where five years ago yesterday we saw these catastrophic landslides kill 23 people. >> i think we're losing mike there. he's back. go ahead, mike. >> reporter: can you hear us? okay. ellen degeneres -- >> all right. given the weather, given the weather we'll give mike a minute to get his signal back up but

let's go to tom in the meantime. tom, there is an incredible amount of rain that has fallen in the west coast. it's not letting up any time soon. >> no, we could be looking, abby, at another week, week and a half. this atmospheric river we were forecasting began around christmas. in the last week and a half, most of california's rainfall is 400 to 600% above average. will it take care of the drought? we could use seasons of this. it's feast or famine. santa barbara, 4.2 inches. all-time january rainfall record. their records go back to 1941. that's over 30,000 days and this is the fourth wettest day in history. san luis obispo over 4 inches. their wettest in history. a week ago oakland just under five inches, all-time wettest. santa barbara, san marcos valley and see it up to 16 inches. look at some of these. 16 and a half. san marcos, rozsivally, these

numbers are just unbelievable and if you look at more of them like ventura. ren viewer tra river rose 17 feet in just 12 hours reaching an all-time crest of 25 feet. all time. heavy rainfall in los angeles now slides a little into the mountains. this storm system which affects northern california first then slides to the south eventually will eject into the central rockies. but now we've got a storm system that's going to move back into northern california. this is with the winds that really have been pounding the area. not just 60, 7 mo miles per hour. gusts over 100. large trees with weak root systems being so saturated are falling everywhere. most of this, 90% of california is in the flood watch. here they come. this is tuesday into wednesday. that's today. wednesday, another storm system, abby, moves in. that's northern california. that slides into the north with strong winds into thursday and the long-term forecast really is showing more mountain snow. it's already over 100, even 200 inches in some areas, but these

storms continue to line up. just terrible. i mean you've got the landslides, the deaths, you've got the river flooding and it will continue. most roads are getting shut down by small landslides but they're peppering the entire coastline and even interior sections of the state. >> yeah, it is terrible and it's just at this moment i think people really need to listen to their local authorities and stay safe in this kind of weather. thank you, tom. thank you, mike and camila as we. police say that the mother of a 6-year-old boy who was shot, his teacher who shot his teacher could face charges. we'll have the latest on this disturbing case and if you are one of the millions of americans struggling to pay your student loans, a new white house proposal could be a game changer for you. we've got the details on that. no masask? no hose? just sleep. learn more, anand view important safety information at inspiresleep.com i'm jonathan lawson

more disturbing developments in the search for a massachusetts mom , ana walshe missing for ten days and police recovered items that are now being tested. cnn's jason carroll is following all of this. jason, what more can you share about where this investigation stands? >> reporter: well, abby, as you know investigators spent a great deal of time last night to add a trash facility north of boston. they spent several hours there, investigators sifting through much of the garbage, tons of garbage at that facility, then

today the d.a.'s office put out a statement giving us an update in terms of what investigators have found there saying they found a number of items which, quote, are subject to processing and testing to determine if they are of evidentiary value to this investigation so that clearly means that investigators now have something in their hands that they're going to be testing. we're going to have to see what those items are and how it's related to the case. also, as you may have heard this investigation taking somewhat of a gruesome turn when more details were released about what investigators have found so far. investigators telling cnn that brian walshe in the days after his wife disappeared conducted some sort of an internet search where he was searching for how to dispose of a 115-pound body and in addition to that, how to dismember a body. again, very gruesome details we have to tell you about here.

we heard more of them yesterday during brian walshe's court wroting, where investigators, prosecutors laid out what investigators actually found at the home here. >> he's on surveillance at that time purchasing about $450 worth of cleaning supplies. that would include mops, bucket, tops, t-vex, drop cloths as well as various kinds of tape. blood found in the basement and a knife that contained some blood. during the time frame when he didn't report his wife and gave various statements that allowed him time to either clean up evidence -- >> abby, a little more information from what we're getting from the d.a.'s office saying in terms of searches we've seen searches out here in the area and they say no more of those searches will be conducted at least at this point today. we'll see if there's any more information about that at another point. as you can imagine this news

extremely devastating for those who care about ana walshe. i spoke to one of her friends who said they are clearly very highly disturbed about what they've been hearing in the news and at this point their attention is on her three children. abby. >> just absolutely horrible. jason carroll, thank you so much. and now on to that shooting that involves a 6-year-old child and his teacher in virginia. today we are learning more about what happened last week inside that classroom. just before the first grader pulled out his mom's gun and fired it. police now say that the mother could face charges. brian todd has more from newport news. brian, this story has really captured everyone's imagination. what is the latest? >> reporter: it certainly has, abby. several important questions that this community wants answers to this afternoon. one of them, of course, is how was that child able to obtain the gun at his home and get it into his backpack to bring to school. police say they're still working on that one. talking to investigators,

talking to the family trying to determine that answer. but another is, whether this mother could be charged definitively for this incident. you know, possibly as an accessory or anything like that and the chief, steve drew, the police chief steve drew was asked about that earlier today by cnn's poppy harlow. take a listen. >> i wonder if the mother could face charges here. >> so, i think that that is term a possibility. they'll make a decision whether there's charges forthcoming towards the parents. >> reporter: and sorry about that. we also have some other information regarding the police and what they've told us about this case, just a quick update for you that the 6-year-old brought the mother's firearm to school in a backpack. he was able to get that into his backpack and bring it to school and get it in undetected.

there were several rounds of ammunition in the backpack, i mean, in the gun when it was fired according to police. the police also say there was no physical struggle or fight before the shooting. the teacher was providing class instruction when the shot was fired. police are working with the school to see if there are any past behavioral issues with the child. i asked the police chief yesterday about that question. and he did not answer it at the time. investigators also want to speak to children, other kids at the school who witnessed the shooting and there are a few people being hailed as heroes today. one is, of course, the teacher who was shot. the police chief said she made sure everybody got out of the class and there was another school employee who came into the class at the time and restrained the child, the child struck that employee but the employee was able to restrain the child until police got there. that employee also being hailed as a hero this afternoon, abby. >> what a horrible story, but a lot of people really perhaps saved some lives there. thank you, brian. now to your honor -- turning

to washington. there's a new proposal from the biden administration that would lower federal student loan payments but there is a catch. cnn's sunlen serfaty is here to explain. sunlen, the biden administration has been doing a lot on the student loan repayment issue. what is this new proposal say and who would actually qualify for it? >> reporter: well, abby, it really targets low and middle income borrowers, people whose loan repayment plans are tied specifically to how much they make, their income and the department of education is estimating here that approximately 8 million people could be affected if this change goes into fruition and that could mean a lot of people have their monthly plan lowered or potentially wiped out put on pause for a moment. now, parts of this proposal would higher the income threshold for repayment. right now it's $24,000. that would be increased to

$30,600 per year. people who are not making that amount would have their loan payments put on pause. for those making above the income threshold there still could be some savings too. undergraduate borrowers capped at 5% of the income. that's half of the current 10%. also the department of education could potentially stop charging unpaid monthly interest and would shorten the time it takes for some smaller loans to be forgiven and this would apply potentially to current and future borrowers as well. now, it's important to note here, abby, that this is all just in the planning stage. this is just a proposal for a regulatory change. if that is adopted potentially later this year, then these changes could take place but senior administration officials told reporters last night, as of now, they have no specific time line for when these changes could happen. >> and in the meantime, the student debt forgiveness is still on hold. so folks will have to wait a

little longer for that relief. sunlen serfaty, thank you. >> reporter: thanks. seattle's public school system now says that social media is making their mental health crisis worse and making it harder for them to teach kids. now the school system is suing big tech. we'll have more on this interesting legal battle ahead. helping them achieve financial freedom. we're investing for our clients in the projects that p power our economy. from the plalains to the coast, we help americans invest for their future. and help communities thrive. hey, man. you could save hundreds for safe driving with liberty mutual. they customize your car insurance... so you only pay for what you need! wh! we gotta go again. only pay for what you need. ♪liberty liberty liberty♪ ♪liberty♪

teachers to do their job. donie o'sullivan is joining us now. no question it's harder to be a teenager these days because of social media. what does the lawsuit actually say about how these companies according to the seattle public schools are claiming that they are responsible for this crisis? >> reporter: yeah, this is a fascinating lawsuit and, you know, very well may not be successful but what i think it does, put this on a national agenda. have this extremely important conversation and also, of course, we might learn a lot through the discovery process and i want to show you what the lawsuit, part of it says. this says this mental health crisis is no accident. it is the results of the defendants' deliberate choices and affirmative actions to design their social media platfors to attract youth. and it's not just talking about the content that is on these platforms and the stuff you see there but also just how these platforms are designed. i mean, you know, i think we all know how addictive in nature

instagram, tiktok, these platforms can be and, you know, even as adults, we don't always necessarily feel great after we find ourselves doom scrolling and seeing how great a time people are having on social media, abby. >> donie, you've been following this for a long time. not the first time these companies have been accused of making their apps more addictive to young kids in ways that are perhaps detrimental to them. what's their response? >> reporter: the companies that responded so far have all said something along the lines of what you would expect, safety is important to us. children's safety in particular. but, look, while we have seen, i think it's important to point out and some experts and psychologists have pointed out as well is that, you know, we don't really know the effects that all this social media use can have on young people because it is still relatively a new phenomenon, particularly how much our phones are glued to our

hands now, so really the effects of this we might not see for some time. but what we did see from the facebook whistle-blower a year and a half ago, was it showed that facebook was doing its own internal research to see basically how harmful its platform instagram was to children. so we might find more of that, learn more about that stuff true in that discovery process, abby. >> it will be interesting to see if this moves forward. thank you, donie. >> reporter: thanks. and, look, we have to talk about this. if you have not talked to your kids about pornography you probably should and sooner than you think. there's a new survey that's found that kids on average are seeing porn online for the first time when they are 12 years old. but some are exposed to it when they're even younger, 10 or younger. cnn's national correspondent athena jones is joining me now. athena, what are these numbers telling us about this phenomenon? certainly not a new one, i

should say. >> reporter: hi, abby. no, the biggest takeaway is just how common this issue is. you could call it remarkable. eye opening, mind-boggling. it's going to be mind-boggling for some to learn that 7 % of teens, nearly three out of four teens ages 13 to 17 have watched porn online. and, you know, a lot of parents think, okay, there is some teenagers out there, they're accessing porn online, watching it but certainly not my teen. the coo of the group that did this report common sense said, look, these numbers tell the story and show that probably is your teen and this is why we need to have a national conversation. parents, teachers, technology companies. >> i mean, kids have found a way to get access to this material even before the internet. but it's obviously easier now so what is the report say about why kids are starting to find or even just come across important graphic material online? >> reporter: well, it's certainly a lot easier.

not going about to the store and getting someone to buy you a magazine. they're walking around, everyone is practically around with a supercomputer. 79% of teenagers say one of the reasons they're watching porn is to learn how to have sex. it is notable that just 27% believe that these -- this pornography accurately portrays the real -- the way most people have sex. but if you think about this, of the ones who are watching porn intentionally, six in ten almost, 59% say they're watching porn at least once a week so that 27% number is interesting in the sense that not very many people, these teens think that these are accurate portrayals of how people get together. the ones who watch the most porn, three or more days out of the last seven have 80% of those have been exposed to violence, rape, choking, inflicting pain on others and those kids are much more likely to think most people would like to be hit

during sex and it's safe and okay to put your hands around someone's throat during sex so that's where the problem lies, what kids are learning by watching this material. >> that is the dark side of it all. athena jones, thank you. and we will be right back with more. so aaron's f folks could help hook him up with a new ride. we'll drive you happy at carvana. my moderate to severe plaque psoriasis... ...the burning, the itching. the stinging. my skin was no longer mine. emerge tremfyant®. with tremfya®, most people saw 90% cleareskin at 16 weeks. the majority of people saw 90% clearer skin even at 5 yea. tremfya® is the first medication of its kind also approved for adults with active psoriatic arthritis... ...and it's 6 doses a year after 2 starter doses. serious allergic reactions may occur. tremfya® may increase your risk of infections

promising sign on the inflation trajectory. a new report shows that online prices actually dropped in december for the fourth consecutive month. let's bring in cnn's matt egan. so matt, what is this report telling us? is it just december christmas sales? >> well, abby, this is encourage news. online prices, they fell more than 1% in december from the year before. and these were actual price drops. we're not talking about prices going up at a slower pace. they were actually going down. and you know what's funny is that during normal times this wouldn't be noteworthy at all because as you can see on your chart, precovid online prices were always falling. but what changed was demand for shopping online soared during covid, supply couldn't keep up. prices had nowhere to go but go higher. so we had this unusual situation where online prices were rising. now as you mention four months in a row of prices going down. and this is a sign of improving supply chains, online shopping going back toward normal, and

cooling inflation across the economy. >> and let's switch gears for a moment. for months we've seen these corporations pushing for people to get back into the office. and so now disney is the latest to take a very aggressive step to get employees back. lay out what they're saying. >> yeah, well, abby, disney employees who don't like their commute, they cannot be happy about this memo they got yesterday from disney's ceo bob iger. he's just been back in the top job for two months now, and he sent a memo to employees yesterday basically ordering them to come back to the office four days a week. now, a lot of workers, they've gotten used to working from home more often. for a lot of people it just works better with their lives. but disney, they're arguing that it's better to have people in the office, particularly when it has to do with creativity. so abby, you've got to wonder if we're going to see more and more bosses make similar moves. as you can see iger, he said "it is my belief that working together more in person will benefit the company's creativity, culture and our

employees' careers." and abby, you've got to wonder if as more companies resort to layoffs you're going to hear from other ceos trying to lure their workers back into the office. >> yeah. i mean, four days a week is still pretty good but not as good as being able to stay home whenever you want. thank you, matt egan. and that does it for me. but don't go anywhere. there's much more news right after this break. don't settle for silver. harness the power of 7 moisturizers & 3 vitamins to smooth, heal, a and moisturize your dry skin. gold bond. champion your skin. meet a future mom, a first-time mom and a seasoned pro. this mom's one step closer to their new mini-van! yeah, you'll get used to it. this mom's depositing money with tools on-hand. cha ching. and this mom, well, she's setting an appointment here, so her son can get set up there and start his own financial journey. that's because these moms all have chase. smart bankers. convenient tools. one bank with the power of both. chase.
