trial would be over and rittenhouse could not be charged again. norah. >> o'donnell: nancy chen, thank you. well, today, a new jersey man was sentenced to the longest prison term yet for his role in the january 6 assault on the capitol. cbs' nikole killion tells us about the gym owner whose brother was reportedly a secret service agent for michelle obama. >> reporter: this is the punch that landed 44-year-old scott fairlamb behind bars. the ex-m.m.a. fighter pleaded guilty earlier this year to assaulting a police officer during the capitol riot, one of nearly a thousand attacks on law enforcement january 6. today, fairlamb was sentenced to nearly three and a half years in prison, tearfully telling a judge, "have mercy on me," while his attorney argued he no longer holds the same beliefs that inspired him to take part in the riot. >> he does not think that the election was stolen, and he has a different ideology. >> reporter: it's the stiffest penalty imposed since the

attack, but prosecutors want even more jail time for the qanon shaman, pressing for at least a four-year sentence for jacob chansley, dubbed the flag bearer of the mob. former president trump contends the insurrection was just a protest. he's appealing a federal ruling that would allow the national archives to release more than 700 pages worth of his personal records to the house select committee, including white house call logs, videos, schedules, and handwritten notes from january 6. judge tanya chutkin rejected the former president's executive privilege argument and bluntly stated, "presidents are not kings and the plaintiff is not president." >> if you take your issue to court and lose, then you need to-- to man up and deal with it and not be a spoiled brat. >> reporter: the committee says it urgently needs these documents, calling the potential harm to the public immense. a spokesperson for the former president says he intends to see

this process through, which could potentially go all the way up to the supreme court. norah. >> o'donnell: nikole killion, thank you. tonight, houston's police chief isn't ruling out criminal charges after that deadly concert over the weekend, and investigators are demanding key security information from concert organizers, which they have yet to turn over. we get more now from cbs' lilia luciano. ( screaming ) >> reporter: a grieving community is demanding answers on how things went so horribly wrong and why so many warning signs were missed, ending in at least eight deaths and hundreds injured. late today, houston police chief troy finner responded, his first press conference in nearly four days. >> we're going to hold people accountable. we owe it to the city. we owe it to our nation. and we need to learn lessons from this. >> reporter: chief finner met with travis scott just before friday night's concert, expressing concerns about crowd control and scott's social media

messages. >> i had no reason to believe that it wasn't going to be safe, but i-- i'm the kind of chief that i meet with people. i told you, i met him twice. >> reporter: but was the second time afterwards or-- >> no. >> reporter: have you spoken to him since? >> before the concert. >> reporter: over the years, scott celebrated chaos and encouraged rage. one instagram post, still active, expresses love for a fan whose face is covered in blood. while scott briefly halted the show... >> somebody passed out right here. reporter: he played on, e after authorities declared a mass casualty event. >> it has to be a group. the ultimate authority to end the show is with production and the entertainer, okay. >> reporter: the chief also said that it was the role of live nation to secure two large mosh pits that were packed full with fans directly in front of the stage, and he added later, as soon as c.p.r. started being administered there, that police did tell those in charge of the event to shut it down.

>> he put his hand up my blouse and cupped my breast over my bra. >> reporter: but cuomo told investigators that never happened, saying, "it would be an act of insanity to touch a woman's breast and make myself vulnerable to a woman for such an accusation." >> i cannot go into any detail. >> reporter: the incident prompted a separate investigation by the albany county sheriff's office, which filed a criminal complaint against cuomo last month of forcible touching. the district attorney is now investigating. >> let me be clear-- that never happened. >> reporter: when asked if he's ever kissed any staff members on the lips, cuomo replied, "i kiss on the cheek. there may be an occasion where a staff member kissed me on the lips, but i kiss on the cheek as a rule." another alleged incident involves an unnamed female state trooper on cuomo's security detail, who claims she was harassed and inappropriately touched. she told investigators, "i felt like completely violated because, to me, like, that's between my chest and my

privates." cuomo's attorney criticized the state a.g., saying she wants to prejudice people against cuomo for a criminal charge that is pending. and, norah, we also learned the final words cuomo gave to investigators after that 11 hours of questioning. he said, "i would like to say it was a pleasure, but i'm under oath." norah. >> o'donnell: jericka duncan, thank you. well, there's still much more news ahead on the cbs overnight news. a new terror warning with the holidays fast approaching. and how much aaron rodgers will have to pay after failing to follow the n.f.l.'s covid rules. ♪ when you have nausea, ♪ ♪ heartburn, ingestion, upset stomach... ♪ ♪ diarrheaaaa.♪

americans are now wpaying more. and much of this is being blamed on the pandemic. costs are continuing to rise at a faster pace than hourly earnings. >> reporter: good evening, norah. ask anybody who has come to buy a car, and they're likely going to tell you that the one they wanted was tough to find and it's likely more expensive. it's a measure of an economy where consumers are suffering the effects of higher inflation. heading into the holiday season, americans are getting squeezed. drivers now face gas prices nearly 50% higher than last year, roughly $1.30 more per gallon. indianapolis' suzanne murphy now spends $73 to fill up her van. >> we're just trying to curb spendingoteas that

we can afford to fill up our tanks.or is nojust gas. new car prices are up over 9%, used cars some 26%. and in the grocery store, prices for meats, poultry, fish and eggs have risen more than 11%. steaks soared 24%. bacon up 20%. >> i definitely do see a change in the price. >> reporter: all this as average hourly wages have actually fallen. cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger: >> it is a confluence of bad timing. we have enormous problems with our supply chain, and when you put rising demand and constrained supply together, you get inflation at a pace that we have not seen in three decades. >> reporter: shortages of materials and chokepoints in the supply chain could make for a pricier holiday shopping season. and keeping warm will cost more, too. higher fuel costs are expected to mean that nearly half of u.s. households whot withalll0% mort. backvestme in production

budged major ccern for amerans: costs are rising. >> many len unttled about the econy,know why. they see higher prices. they go to the store, online, or they can't-- they go to the store, go online and they can't always find what they want. >> reporter: the congested supply chain has helped drive prices up. the infrastructure bill includes $17 billion to revitalize coastal, inland, and land ports. but it's unclear how that could immediately help the massive backlog at west coast ports, where 81 container ships sat waiting to unload goods this week. congestion has slowed deliveries and triggered worries about holiday shopping. >> suddenly, when you go to order a pair of sneakers or a bicycle or christmas presents for the family, you're met with higher prices or long delays or they say they just don't any anything at all. >> reporter: small business owner constance benham runs a clothing store outside houston. >> i'm calling to check on my

backorders. >> reporter: she's had to wait up to 10 months for shipments to arrive, leaving some shelves empty, and forcing her to make tough choices. >> it just kills me to have to charge my people more money. but if they're charging me, i have to turn around and charge my customers. so that's been-- that's been a huge problem lately is that my freight is really high. there's not a day or a minute that goes by that i don't think about it. it's constant. >> reporter: rising prices are obviously a political challenge for the administration, too. the white house insists that this situation is short-lived, but the federal reserve predicts supply shortages and increased costs will last well into next year, with midterm elections on the horizon. norah. >> o'donnell: weijia jiang, thank you. well, today a new jersey man was threatened to the longest prison term yet for his assault

an electric vehicle maker held an ipo yesterday and despite selling fewer than 200 trucks so far, the company has a market higher value than general motors or ford. as the world moves into the ev future, there is growing demand for an important element of batteries, lithium. ben tracy has the story. >> o'donnell: in the mountains of northern nevada, the fuel of the future lies in the past. >> this is gorgeous. >> yeah. it is crazy to think 16 million years ago this was the site of a giant volcanic eruption.

it's called lithium. most of us only periodically remember from high school chemistry. rechargeable lithium ion batteries power our cell phones, computers, even toothbrushes and are now the fuel for all those electric vehicles starting to roll off the assembly line. >> what is the connection between lithium and vol can know knows. >> in the coming years, it is a good chance the lithium in that battery will come from here. >> yes. that's the hope. >> benson works for lithium americas, a mining company that owns the rights to the largest known lithium deposit in the united states. the company expects to potentially extract 80,000 tons of lithium a year. that's enough to power about a million vehicles.

so none of this looks particularly high tech.odf the battery. without it, the batteries won't work. >> with auto makers pledging to make their vehicles electric, lithium demand is expected to increase tenfold in the next decade. right now most of it is mined in chile and australia and almost all of it is processed in china. the united states has one mine in southern nevada providing less than 2% of world supply. is it an option for the u.s. not to be in this field and to let other countries supply this? >> i think the answer is no. we have a lot of competitors in the world that if we don't do something about it, others will be happy to. >> and one of those countries is china. >> how far behind are we? >> years, decades. >> the future of the auto industry is electric. there is no turning back.

>> jump starting the switch to evs is key to president biden's plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions in 2030 to slow climate change. the department of energy has released a national blueprint for lithium batteries. it says relying on them creates a strategic vulerability for the u.s. economy. >> we are right to the beginning. huge.ore, what's ahead of uss >> calvin swan is president of pan sonic energy north america. he runs the largest lithium ion battery factory in the world just outside reno, nevada. it produces two billion batteries each other. all of them are for just one electric car maker, tesla. >> do you guys ever shut down? does this ever take a break? >> no. never stopped 24/7, 365 days a

year. >> the batteries are made on the pan sonic side known as the tesla giga factory. and then these robots drive them to the tesla side where they are put inside the cars. >> what do we as a country need to do or what do countries need to do to meet this demand? >> we don't have a supply chain in the united states. we have to work hard at that. >> are we going to see more battery factories like this all over the country? >> yes. fundamentally, yes. it is a long way to go. >> those factories will need a lot of lithium. >> it is a huge variety of things. it could be cell phone batteries, laptop batteries. >> which is why the ceo of redwood materials and a former tesla executive says all those lithium batteries need to be recycled. >> the sheer number of batteries

and the sheer number of vehicles is massive. so if there is no scaling ahead rrivt his carson decomig city warehouse every day loaded with boxes of old batteries from electric cars to power tools. his company is partnering with ford to turn old batteries into new ones. ford just announced plans to build two massive battery manufacturing plants in the u.s. >> i think recycling the batteries is a must. the material is sort of coming at us, and we don't really have a choice of, you know, should we or should we not recycle it. >> lithium is now so valuable, it is called white gold. there is believed to be billions of dollars worth of it here alone. and while it may be essential to a greener future, getting it out of the ground comes with its own environmental cost. >> the claim that this would be a green mine is extremely dangerous. >> max will bert is part of a

group of protesters whoe been camping out since january at the mine site. he says lithium is not the silver bullet many believe it to be because of the impact of lining on the land and the large amounts of waste water created by lithium extraction. >> if we're trying to move away from fossil fuels, is the environmental impact at a site like this the lesser of two evils? >> you know, that's a really good question. but i think the problem is that's the warm framing. global warm sg a huge problem. in this attempt to save the planet from climate change, people are believing we can save the planet by destroying it. >> lithium americas admits there will be environmental impacts, but claims new mining technology will lead to less damage. the company plans to begin its operation next year. potentially creating a lithium boom down in nearby nevada. >> if you believe in climate

change, if you are worried about compet competitiveness, if we're worried about jobs being lost, then
