8:01 pm
>> hi, everyone. thanks for tuning into this hour, where we bring you tomorrow's news tonight. we have our great lineup of reporters to share their scoops. here with me tonight are harry enten, priscilla alvarez, ryan young and the next year kvhp. it's great to have all you guys hear. -- before a federal grand jury that is investigating the aftermath of the 2020 election and the actions of former president donald trump. this is the first time in modern history of vice president has been compelled to testify about his former boss, the president of the united states. priscilla alvarez has been working the story. priscilla, before we get to this -- and i am interested in that -- five hours, that's a long time. -- >> he was poised to talk about the conversations that he had with former president donald trump, then the president, before january 6th. sources tell our colleagues, that, as you said, this went on for five hours.
8:02 pm
and it is notable for its investigation and also, alisyn camerota, because we are talking this week about the 2024 election, but yet this investigation is still looking at the aftermath of 2020. what we know about what pence has shared so far is through his memoir into his public comments. and he has said that he refused to do the bidding of trump on january 6th, going so far as to say that trump said that he would not have followers if he didn't -- if he was too honest. -- try to overturn the election. so, do we know what happened in the room? no. but can we get a sense, based off what pence has already -- and in for a bit? -- investigators have been interested in what he had to say, because of his proximity to the white house. now, we should know that the day of january 6th, pence was in the capitol, and he nearly escaped -- footage leaving him -- when the attack happened. and so, this is very much focused on the conversation leading up to that date. and the day of, from our
8:03 pm
understanding, he was not talking to trump. >> okay. and so, what's going to happen next? now that pence has testified for five hours, what's the next step here? >> this investigation is moving quickly. and it's going to continue to unfold. and we will continue to learn more about where it is heading and what pence may have said. i think that's the question, right? it's exactly what he shared with investigators during this five hour sit down. but it is just one more development in a case that is still critically important when we are looking at the aftermath of the 2020 election and we are looking at january 6th in 2021. and really, when we still see, to this day, people who believe in election conspiracy. >> and basically, with five hours, we can assume he answered questions. he did not say pass. or there would be a lot of passes if he did. i wonder if, having checked truth social today, but have we heard from president trump about pence sitting from this today? >> i am, like you, have not
8:04 pm
seen any comments from trump yet -- does that mean he won't weigh in? we will see. and recall, to we are waiting to see whether pence launches a bit and whether he decides to run himself in 2024. >> what is he waiting for? >> well, that's a question for his team. >> -- that's what he's waiting for. right? >> is that where he is? >> that is where he is. four for a former vice president of the united states -- i think the last former vice president that was pulling that poorly was dan quayle, who, of course, was the vice president in early 1993 and -- he had no support at this point. and it is so interesting to me that we have pence, we have trump who is actually running right now, running away with the republican nomination, when we have someone like pence who, from everything i can see, he did what he was supposed to do on january 6th. and the republican base has said, no, we are good, thanks. >> there seems to be a reason why you call him teflon don. and at this point, it seems like nothing injures him at all in the public eye. i live in georgia.
8:05 pm
-- and, of course, there's that whole idea of maybe this investigation is going to happen. and there are still people who are going to support him no matter what. and when you think about the vice president, he did the right thing. he brought that up. and people said, hey, you do the right thing on that day. but that has not moved the needle at all so far. no one is even talking about the book anymore. >> really interesting. >> and to your point, i was watching a congressional hearing this week about immigration -- one of the republican witnesses was at january 6th in 2021. in fact, democratic representative eric swalwell flagged the tweet and said, you were at this protest, insurrection. she said she had not gone to the capital. but as she defended herself it was -- i was there peacefully. it was, i was on the supreme court steps, i was praying. and i did not see violence. and so we still see sort of the conversation about what did or didn't happen. and they're still discord about
8:06 pm
-- occurred on that date despite the footage that is so widely distributed at this point. >> all right, let's move on to talk about immigration. so, this trump era policy is coming to an end. and there's a surge at the border. and so, what is president biden's plan? >> so, the big day we are all looking at is may 11th. the reason why is because the coronavirus public health emergency expires on that day. with that means is that this authority, known as title 42, ends. what it has allowed authorities to do up until this point is to expel certain migrants back into mexico or to their origin country. this was something that was started in march of 2020 under trump. so, with this going away, there is concern with the new administration -- i have been talking to officials on a regular basis about this -- that there is going to be a surge. one senior customs and border protection official said that they know of several thousand migrants who are already in northern mexico waiting to cross on that date. now, look, homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas
8:07 pm
knows about this. he talked about it today. he said it's going to be a challenge in the first few weeks, as they go back to the protocols we have been using for decades. but the problem is that we are going back to protocols at a moment of mass migration in the western hemisphere. and so how do you use protocols that, by all accounts, are outdated for a problem that is of the century? and so, that is what they are their focus is right. now they are opening regional processing centers for migrants who are currently coming up to the u.s. mexico border so that they can apply for legal pathways. they are imposing consequences and they are also taking measures that even biden's allies are not happy with. for example, they are going to release a new asylum rule that would largely bar migrants who have come up through other countries from seeking asylum in the united states. this is notable because we have never done that before. these are steps that they are having to take that don't often sit well, even with democrats, with immigrant advocates. and it is a democratic
8:08 pm
administration having to do them when they are nervous about a surge may be weeks away from when biden just announces his candidacy. >> this is where you go back to the decade old problem of immigration reform, something that has not been solved by either party. and through my reporting with businesses, when i hear so much about is, we wish there was a pathway for folks who want to come to this country that can end up legally working in this country. because we are seeing worker shortages across all industries. there is farmers, restaurant workers, hotel workers. these business owners want people to come to this country. they want them to be able to legally work. but they don't know how to make it happen. and neither does congress, honestly. >> yeah, and i've talked to members of congress in the halls of congress. i've asked them these questions. and there is -- they all agree that the system is broken. everybody will tell you. that democrats, republicans, whoever you ask, the president of the united states -- but nobody wants to agree on how to solve it moving forward. because every time we talk
8:09 pm
about reform, it start small. it might be border security. and then we add legal immigration. we had the worker visas. it starts to sort of snowball and by that no one can agree on what is in the package. >> i would just say, i was looking at some of the latest poll data, which -- which party do you trust more on immigration. republicans were favored by ten points. so, i think there's obviously some politics that are going on here. one thing we were just discussing this that just goes through my head is that americans have very complicated views on all of this. so, if you say, if someone is in the country illegally, should we deport them? yes. do you think there should be a pathway to citizenship for people who are here illegally, they say, yes. those two almost seem contradictory in some sense. and i think that sort of gets at what we are talking about. we keep trying to come up with a solution. when we've been doing it for decades upon decades upon decades. and the needle just does not move at all. >> i think it's kind of funny. because it's almost about where you live. you live in california, you live in texas, you live in florida -- >> border state --
8:10 pm
>> -- so you grew up with it all the time. people in the middle of the country, are sometimes not impacted the same way. you see some of these border cities being crushed by just needing to do services for people. and that is just the basics. and then you come with education or health care. and then it just compounds. who is paying for all that? >> such a great point. even the northeast, it's hard to have the visceral experience of living it that they do in the border states. thank you very much for all of that reporting. okay. so, next, his murder brought nationwide attention to the civil rights movement. and now 68 years later, the white woman whose accusation led to the lynching of emmett till has died, and has his family lost their chance to get justice? helping them achieve financial freedom. we're proud to serve people e everywhere, in investingng for the retiremet they envision. from the plains to the coastst, we help americans invest for their future. and help communities thrive.

our ancestors had power, our ancestors had hope and our ancestors had ambition. born in 1847, formally enslaved, started buying land, was in the house of representatives. we didn't know our family was part of black reconstruction. exactly. okay, seriously. finding out this family history, these things become anchors for your soul. >> carolyn bryant donham, the white woman whose accusation led to the lynching of emmett
8:15 pm
till, has died at 88 years old. in august of 1955, 14 year old emmett till was taken from his bed, it brutally beaten, shot to death and horrible other things after she accused him of whistling at her. till's grief-stricken mother made the decision to open his casket at his funeral, shocking the conscience of the nation. bryant donham's husband and his half brother confessed to the murder after the -- they were acquitted by an all white jury. her role in the brutal death has been investigated several times and was reconsidered by grand rapids recently as last year. ryan young is covering the story. so, ryan, it's been more than -- years. -- >> you think about, one, how shocking this was for the nation -- just last year, a movie came out talking about what happened with him. and it was very powerful. but when you put the pieces together, the family discovered an arrest warrant just last year in the basement for this
8:16 pm
woman of a closed courthouse. and they were pushing for her to be arrested. and people were like, well, she's older. she's sick. and they were, like no, we need justice. and you understand, when you follow all the other cases across this country, where this case sticks out to. it was jet magazine that put those photos out there, which was a very big, popular, black magazine at the time. and it is really spur the civil rights movement. i want you to listen to the family of emmett till years later talk about why they thought unrest was important and why they wanted this warrant -- >> there can be an execution of this warrant. and that's what we want. we are doing this with without hate or malice for bryant donham. we just want justice served. justice has been denied for 67 years. and it needs to be served. so, like anyone else, even though it was 67 years ago, carolyn bryant has never answered to her role and her
8:17 pm
culpability in the murder and -- of emmett till. >> and you think about the fact that it was her own words that really -- maybe we should look back at this. >> because she wrote a memoir, is that what happened? >> -- i know there were some really advanced copies. >> so, it's an unpublished memoir in which she basically confessed to lying? >> in which he confessed to lying -- and she never went on camera to apologize for her role in all this. -- we've covered them on our -- before. you think about his mother and then crump pushing for answers, especially when there was video of what happened. now, take it back to 1955. this kid was 14 years old. he did not whistle. he did not make any sexual advances toward this woman. and then, the next thing you know, he goes through some of the most painful acts that anyone could ever imagine. his face was transformed, based upon what was done to him. and -- surfaced in a river. i say this to you guys at the break. my family members have never
8:18 pm
gotten over the images of what we have seen here. and this is the push. and you were taught early on to be very careful with how you interact with people from other races, especially people in the south. there's a powerful moment where he lived in chicago, goes down to -- and mom tells him, the south is different. -- all of us now because, even to this day, he wanted something to happen where there were some sort of justice. the fbi looked at it in 2018. it didn't change anything. >> why didn't they? she if she confessed in her memoir, why wasn't more traction on this? >> i think that is probably the most frustrating thing for the public at large. because then, when they talk to her, she said, maybe i didn't say that. >> -- >> absolutely. and it becomes inconclusive. so, never in no one ever got the justice that they wanted. you think about the emmett till sign in the city where it's
8:19 pm
gotten shot up, several times -- it's just the impact of this case that has been long-standing for this country. >> all the way to last year as well. i mean, president biden signed legislation called the emmett till anti-lynching act of 2022 that makes lynching a federal hate crime. it took it until 2022 for that to happen. he signed it. he called it, at the time -- lynching -- quote, pure terror terror. -- said that they are going to continue to honor his legacy and that they will also continue to tackle what she calls racial hatred in this country. so, really, the aftermath is still fell today. >> yeah, two things that stand out to me -- if you ever get a chance to go to the national african american museum in d.c., you can go into a room. they have the emmett till. and it set up with the coffin and a picture of his face, and you walk through there, it grabs your heart. because you understand what that must have been like. thousands of people lined up to see that. and then six months after this happened, you had rosa parks
8:20 pm
basically saying, i'm not getting out of the seat. -- we've moved so far. but you would think that somebody somewhere would have found a way to make this right. let's say that memoir comes out. who gets the money? what happens now? i mean, there's so many questions for that family. i would love to know what emmett till's feels like to today. you heard that soundbite. no ill will. but at the same time, they deserve something. >> a thought and a question -- the thought is, it's amazing how short ago this actually was, right? it's less than 70 years ago. my mother was alive for this. i don't know with you remember -- she was a young girl at the point. -- my question would be -- emmett till did not do anything wrong, obviously. why did she decide to say anything about him? -- >> that is, i think, the scary part of how this works sometimes. and we never got a chance to grill her in the way --
8:21 pm
maybe she wanted some attention from her husband. they acted -- not only did they act, but they were acquitted. -- they sat down for an interview and admitted to killing him, which makes you say, like, who does that? >> of course, that even heightens emmett till's family -- justice after injustice. >> -- reporting today that emmett till's cousin, after this woman 's death, said today that he has sympathy for her family because her family lost a life, this woman, because of what he went through. and i believe he was somewhat of a witness during the time that emmett till was taken. is that correct? that he's reliving a lot of this? >> and you think about the impact -- like you say. it's a short time ago. >> yeah. >> and you have so many people who remember parts of this. and you are still trying to put the pieces together, racially -- but then you move the bar forward and see how much has
8:22 pm
been done since then, you would think that something like that could never happen. but again, you have to have all the pieces here. not only did this happen in the woman never was charged. but what is the justice for this family moving forward? what can be done? money can't replace him. there is trauma, jenna relational, for the entire country. how do you move forward? and that is the big question. i think we have done a good job in a lot of places in this country with the conversation around emmett till, and obviously to this day we are still talking about, 67 years later. >> have we heard from his family today? >> i have not -- but you understand, when they found that warrant last year, this might be a closing of a chapter that they did not even expect, right? so, we have to see how this plays out. >> ryan young, thanks for all that. all right -- federal reserve chairman jerome powell, tripped reportedly by russian pranksters, into holding a video chat with someone he reportedly believed was ukrainian president

8:28 pm
covering this. vanessa yurkevich, it's so sad. he so gracious there, and he so happy to be speaking to president zelenskyy. so, how did the fed figure this out. and what are they doing about? it >> all right, so the fed has already for the specific situation ta'lon force meant, to try to figure out exactly how this happened. but what the fed is saying is that the fed chief had a call with who we thought was president zelenskyy in january. this call happens. but it seems like later they found out that it wasn't actually president zelenskyy on the line. it was these two russian pranksters. he did not reveal -- fed chair powell did not reveal any sensitive information -- it was a talk about the economy. and the authenticity of this video, though, is coming into question by the federal reserve. because it's been edited. and there's also some questions about whether or not this is a
8:29 pm
real video. however, the fed is saying that there was a conversation that happened between chair powell and someone who he thought was president zelenskyy. >> hold on. let me understand this. he wasn't a -- face time. he could not see somebody -- >> only heard the person who we thought was president zelenskyy but it wasn't presidents ellen's key. >> can we hear that? do we have any of that? >> we do. we have some sound. this is an exchange of this fake zelenskyy asking him a question about the economy. and here's how that went down >> are the sanctions working? or something wrong -- russia's gdp has grown. and it is now, if i'm not wrong, the ninth in the world. so, how do you assess the policies of the central bank of russia, for example? so, they managed to save the ruble, why? >> i should say, in our system,
8:30 pm
in our governmental system, it's really the administration, which is to say. we are not part of the administration. we are an independent central bank. >> i don't think that sounded like zelenskyy. do you? >> i've heard of a couple times but it doesn't sound like zelenskyy. with this was a call that was set up somehow between chair powell and who he thought was president zelenskyy. but cher powell goes on to talk about the economy, inflation, the rate hikes that he is looking to make in 2023. and the possibility of a recession. a lot of these things he has said publicly. but he definitely gets into the nitty-gritty about the u.s. economy, what he feels about the russian economy, and also what he feels about ukraine. but remember, these are russians that he is talking to, not the ukrainian president. >> and on a serious note, the question here is, how did this column get through? and also, when you zoom out and
8:31 pm
you look at the context that we are learning about this in, we are just coming off of pentagon leaks. and that classified material was also about ukraine, about the u.s. assessment of what was happening in ukraine, about their defensive. so, it is interesting to see this happen now against the backdrop of the administration trying to wrap their arms around, to this day, how much information was released. now, of course, the case is ongoing. and prosecutors are working specifically with the air national guardsmen who released this trove of information. but it was interesting seeing this story come out and thinking about this administration is working through, already, some concerns regarding their security. >> and it raises concerns about how does one of the most powerful men in the country, in the u.s. right now, get duped? i mean, the federal reserve is so tightly run. it is so secure. when they make these inflation
8:32 pm
hikes throughout the year, it is such a closed-door meeting. our reporters have to use code words with the control room in order to kind of signal what might be happening. because when the federal reserve speaks and makes a decision, it can move markets -- >> but wait a second. so, when you are listening -- would've the code words that you -- >> i don't know if -- code words. but essentially, you try to communicate with the control room. you know what is happening. they tell you just minutes before with the rate hike is going to be. but you can't say to the control room. because, in case it gets out, it could move global markets. that's -- >> that's fascinating. >> so, how does the chair get on a zoom call, presumably with -- >> do we know anything about these pranksters? who they are? >> -- two well-known pranksters in russia with close ties to vladimir putin. they have done this before. they have pranked angela merkel, chancellor of germany. they have frank christine
8:33 pm
lagarde, former head of the imf. and apparently, they do this a lot. and it just a question of, how are they getting through to these world leaders? i don't know. the fed has not said. we don't know much more than that. >> a. i -- there's no way this is real and then -- >> we'll, the authenticity of the video is in question. and i think a guy comes into this because it is so easy right now to create deepfakes. and deepfakes are essentially fake videos of people like your own pile that could create a video from speaking. it sounds like, and it looks like him. and i think that's why the fed is playing a little bit of defense saying, yes, a conversation happens. but we haven't really been able to watch this video in it's totality. and we don't quite believe that it's completely him. but obviously, the conversation happened. >> i guess my question is, if it's a i, why was the zelenskyy voice so much not like him? -- my other question would just be,
8:34 pm
why are they pranking jerome powell? that's like calling up and pranking a librarian. i would think they would probably want to prank someone a lot more fun than that. >> he makes the point that he's now out of the biden administration. they are a separate entity. the central bank is separate from the biden administration. a lot of what these princes were asking were questions that actually probably should have been directed at the treasury, not at jerome powell. but it was truly remarkable to listen to the entire conversation. it was edited. but it was about 16 minutes. and these pranksters, they do ask smart questions. and they are trying to clearly get information. but jerome powell is just -- he is really sweet in this interview. he so grateful to be talking to the president of ukraine. and he does not say anything that goes against u.s. policy. he does not reveal any information. >> thank goodness.
8:35 pm
>> -- >> i wonder what the security conversation was like after. >> i know! >> -- >> the dial in password changed, i'm sure. they got no report yet on who is at fault for this. but we will see. >> all right, vanessa yurkevich, thank you for that. now, this -- a key part of the american dream, owning your own home. so, why is it now out of reach for millions of young americans? harry enten has the raw numbers. because it's late night. it's raw. that's when we come back. get decision tech. for insights on when to buy and sell. and proactive alertsts on market events. thatat's decision tech. only from fidelity.

8:40 pm
news four home buyers. mortgage rates taking up the second week in a row. the 30 year fixed average, 6.43% this week. harry it would explain what that means. mortgage rates are expected to decline slightly later this year as inflation continues to ease. but as harry tells us, that's not fast enough for people struggling to buy a home now. so, harry, explain this, because mortgage rates already always fluctuate. -- >> yeah. >> why is the american dream now out of reach? >> -- there goes my -- >> microphone -- >> -- >> harry, are you kidding? -- >> i think i got it here. >> that will teach us -- >> -- and we will get an idea of the average monthly mortgage payment on the 30 year fixed
8:41 pm
rate with about -- down. -- $3,176 for new homes. what exactly is going on here, alisyn, if you things. number one is, we mentioned mortgage rates are going up. it also turns out the construction rate for new homes is going -- we have these two things combining to make these mortgage rate payments so really, really high this particular point, way up from where we were two years ago. what i will also point out is that this comes at the same time we have been seeing a trend. 25 to 34-year-olds still living at home with at least one parent, at their parents house. in 1981, look, it was just 8%. look where we were in 2021. jumped to 17% -- i would be very interested to see the new numbers that come out over the next few months, and the next two years, to see if this percentage goes even higher. because the fact of the matter is, it's just become more and more difficult for more americans, especially where we are with how expensive things are, to afford to live on their own. but you are talking about the
8:42 pm
american dream, right? so, life goals, extremely, are very important to you. look at this. owning a home -- 70% say that is extremely or very important for their life goals. compare that to raising a family at 68%, a successful career at 63%. so, owning a home is right up there on the things that americans hope and dream will happen. but now, of course, it's hard than it's been for a really long time, alisyn. >> you can come back, now harry, but try not to hurt yourself. -- so professional. >> -- >> -- with so many people living at home, or at least a higher percentage than people before, is there any calculus that, with, perhaps savings, it would get to a point if rates drop just enough, where we would see an influx of buyers on the market? >> look, i have learned -- heard enough. the idea of forecasting the housing market, to me, is basically -- forecasting the economy, forecasting the housing market
