we go now to teddy austro on wall street. hi there, teddy back tracking on these lay offs. certainly not a good look for twitter now that it's under mosque. what happened here? what, what went wrong? yeah, it's certainly is a bad look, i'd say it and underscore is what appears to be pretty major chaos going on inside of the company. we are now entering the 2nd full work week of twitter under the ownership of you on musk and half of the staff is gone and it was done somewhat. have hazard lee. they found out when they couldn't get into their emails, they couldn't get into their slack, and no dozens are being called back. right? saying they were mistakenly fired or they need them back to enact some of the new features. some of the new changes that you on musk wants to do at the company. now

you could see this is just one perverse action done by an individual. but i'd say that this is actually part of a larger trend going on in tech of a major pullback going on right now. okay, well teddy, larger trends and tech exact next question. i want to ask you meadow. we know it's also gearing up for math last week. tell me about that. yeah, well the wall street journal is reporting from anonymous sources that we are about to see this week. one of the largest rounds of layoffs from the from meta and it's 18 year history. we're talking about thousands of employees being laid off. now there are specific issues related to meta, but really it does appear to be a part of a larger trend. in the 1st 2 years of the pandemic, we saw massive growth, massive acceleration, and many of these companies, higher up now, we are seeing with the threat of inflation on the threat of recession, federal interest rate hikes, a major pullback, major layoff as well. and we saw that most recently with lift and stripe,

and we're probably going to see it further. that was teddy austria in new york. thank you so much for that analysis. we'll be checking with you tomorrow. well, monday was the final full day of campaigning before americans vote in their mid term elections. democrats, risks losing their narrow majorities in congress to the republican party. that would be a major hurdle for president joe biden. in the final 2 years of his administration . the white house has struggled to bring down skyrocketing consumer prices, caused by pandemic aftermath and, and ongoing energy crisis. well, for more in this, let's bring in my college anal doom allow in washington, dc to now and i see you tell us how important is the economy to the mid term vote this year. well, christie, i cannot tell you how many times i've heard the phrase, the, it's the economy stupid in the run up to this vote, it's getting repetitive, but it happens to be true. the economy really has moved to the forefront of voters

minds in this election season. and that's backed up by a pew research poll that shows voters are most concerned about the rising prices of food and goods of gasoline and of housing. now with inflation at a point 2 percent, voters are really starting to lay the blame for the cost of living crisis at the democrats feet somewhat unfairly, as we know. because there are other factors that play like the war in ukraine, like supply chain issues that have led to the surging energy prices that we've seen . but it is, however, true that the democrats have fallen down hard on economic messaging, and that is expected to hurt them tomorrow at the polls. connery is certainly something we hear about every election, but inflation is definitely concerned this time around. so let's say republicans do sweep this vote, take back both the house and the senate. what would that mean for biden's economic plan? well, the republican victory would certainly insure complications for biden's economic

plan, especially what is recent, let legislative victories like the inflation reduction act. this line bar, climate tax and health care bill also parts of the infrastructure bill could come under scrutiny. now, while republicans won't be able to repeal any part of the law without running up into president joe biden's presidential veto. what they might be able to do is make their implementation very difficult. we might be facing again, the kinds of obstruction ism that we saw in the late 2 thousands with obama and obama care. we could be seeing government shut downs, subpoenas, and this investigations into funding republicans will say that it's all in the name of oversights. but so given that saw republic, a republican victory is a distinct possibility. democrats are probably bracing themselves for these developments. janelle dom allow many thanks a new trade war between the european union and the u. s. is in the air, the u,

as upset about joe biden's inflation reduction act. the $738000000000.00 act aims to boost clean energy and reduce the cost of prescription drugs in america. it also includes tax breaks for electric cars and batteries, but only when they're made in the usa. brussels says those benefits for american vehicle makers would put e cars made in the u at an unfair disadvantage on the lucrative u. s. domestic market. u. s. president joe biden is on a last minute him pain tour in heavily contested districts trying to head off democratic losses in tuesday's mid term elections. and he talks about the issue most on voters minds, inflation. we also know folks are still struggling with inflation. and so our number one priority, that's why was my child from scott trial by sign inflation reduction act to bring down the cost of everyday things and we talk about around the kitchen table. but the act is raising eyebrows in europe and asia because it includes a $7500.00 tax credit for americans who buy an electric or hybrid vehicle. but only

when it rolls out of a north american factory with domestic batteries. it's no problem for tesla g m or ford. but it's a big problem for manufacturers like toyota, q and a and b m w. the german car maker has a 2 electric and hybrid models, but only the 2 it makes in north america qualified for the tax credit next year. like cars made here, and it's spartanburg south carolina plant, but not the ones it makes in europe. it's america 1st, at its worst, critics say, the american inflation reduction act ease a matter of concern, not only for phones on germany, but also for all european countries. so we need to work on the adequate your pan and responses to this american inflation reduction act which might jeopardize to
