efforts to repeal the president's health care law. >> finally common ground -- the president isn't fully -- our job is to make the american people's priorities our priorities. they don't want obamacare. i don't like it. >> while the meeting will mostly be about finding common ground. one issue that will likely come up here is the letter president obama secretly sent to iran's supreme leader last month. which has the "wall street journal" pointed out. josh ernst had this to say when asked about the letter yesterday. >> i'm not in a position to

discuss private correspondence. i can tell you the president and his administration articulated about iran remains unchanged. >> nbc news senior white house correspondent chris jansing joins us live now. 16 congressional leaders gathering shortly. what is going to get done, if the question, if any. >> yeah. obviously they have a lame duck session coming up. and they have a trillion dollar spending bill they need to look at to keep government running. we heard from mitch mcconnell there's no government shut down coming. they're going to take care of some of that kind of business. the president has asked for additional funding for ebola, for example. but there's also obviously the long-term issues. when you hear both sides talking about what their real focus is, look, they saw what happened on tuesday and they see what the exit polls are. people are interested in the

economy. the president thinks that after the jobs numbers today up 209,000 he has a good story to tell. but the republicans are also saying that is going to be their focus is job creation and the economy. so while over the last couple of days since the election we've heard some, i guess you can call it rhetoric over things like obamacare and immigration, they both say they want to get down to business and see come january what kind of things they can do to get the economy rolling. >> one of the fly on the wall conversations happening. >> you know you'll be looking for are the mood and tone and whether they come to cameras. >> you'll be there. part of the conversation here, chris, that letter that president obama sent to iran's supreme leader whether it was secret or a manner of practice. we don't know specifically what was in the letter. isis certainly top of mind here. >> we know that it was about what the president sees as the

u.s. and iran shared interest in beating isis. we also know that there will be some negative feedback from members of congress who said, listen, i don't trust iran. there's no reason to trust iran. we heard from ernst yesterday that any kind of cooperation that the united states has on any level would not evolve intelligence sharing with iran. after the lunch this afternoon, the cent come commander is going to be coming into that old family dining room and he's going to be giving the latest information on isis. it will be part of the conversation. >> there's a cabinet meeting we expect to get information coming shortly? >> yeah. i got something in my e-mail. we have to turn tape around. but the president did make some comments and talked about the new jobs numbers. he said it's the strongest job growth since the '90s. we have to build on that progress. but he also said he's looking

forward to meeting with members of congress. they've had the shared interest. the president has a short window of this lame duck where he wants to get things done. mitch mcconnell wants to prove the congress can work again. i think we're going to hear that in a few minutes. >> the latest from chris januarysing. a busy friday at the white house. three days after voter reveal their discontent. 214,000 jobs were added in october. the niation's unemployment rate ticked down. it's a six year low. employers have added at least 200,000 jobs. nine straight months. the longest such stretch since 1995. but it was still short of what wall street wanted. the dow now down 9 and change. not hurting too much. the nasdaq and the s&p -- the nasdaq is down 15 and change as well as the s&p up a smidge.

joining us economic policy expert here susan ox who served in the treasury department in both the clinton and obama administrations. all right. another part of what we learned this morning from this report what is it nine million individuals now that are unemployed. but that is down over a million. that's the good news. however, when we look at the numbers, as a large number of people higher than ever. in some 40 years decided not participate in the work force. >> so there's some twitches in the labor participation rate, which is what they call it. we have a large number of ageing baby boomers. there's some other factors in terms of changes in the sectors prominent in the economy. it dunce have the prominence it did several decades ago. there are some shifts and this could be more of a permanent change than a continuing sign of weakness. is it?

>> i think it could be. it's not -- participation rate is not where we need it to be. i think these could be more structure shifts we're seeing. >> let's take a look who is hiring. food services they added 42,000 jobs. professional business services they added 37,000. retail 27,000, health care 25,000, manufacturing 15,000. manufacturing we're always watching that. we have retail numbers up that is key as we move into the later part of the year. >> manufacturing added 15,000. they also added 170,000 jobs over the years. it's a strong number. manufacturing was bleeding jobs for several years when you look at michigan, ohio, pennsylvania, a lot of core states. they've been struggle for a long time. >> the united states number two manufacturer in the world. will we retake number one from dhoo china with that sort of growth? >> that may be a tall order. i think we're making strides. >> i like to think of things as half full. why not. another thing, the break down

that we watch pretty carefully and that's the ethnic break down. in general when you look at african-americans, wi latino-americans and caucasians. those were down a little bit. the asian-americans down -- excuse me no change. essentially all of those not big shifts but african-americans that was still remaining high at close to 11%. altogether we didn't see a lot of changes within the month before. what do you make of that balance there? >> that's been a stubborn number particularly among african-americans. i think it's a real challenge. i think it's part of the problem with the economic record for the administration right now. the other numbers we're looking at is the youth unemployment which is almost twice the national average. when you think about the election on tuesday, young people didn't show up at the polls. >> why is that number, as you were saying, so stubborn. why does it stay at the double digit 11% is what we're seeing

now. >> it could be some sort of structure changes. where are the jobs being added. regionally where are they being added. in the southeast we're seeing persistent weakness states like georgia, alabama, a lot of trouble getting the unemployment numbers down. we do seem to see historically large african-american populations in those areas. >> okay. we have to go quickly on this. better hiring and economic growth yet barely boosting pocketbook. that's been the complaint. we're seeing this but we're not feeling it. >> i think that's the biggest disconnect talking about the election on tuesday. the president has a good economic the record run on but people aren't feeling it. >> an upper 20% lower 20% issue? >> i think upper 20% bottom 80% issue. >> thank you so much, susan. we appreciate your time. to developments about the man who police say abducted a 22-year-old philadelphia woman earlier this week.

federal prosecutors filing kidnapping charges against 37-year-old delvin barnes. in a separate case he's behind bars in virginia. related to abduction charges of a 16-year-old girl last month. police say the girl was hit in the head with a shovel, stuffed into the trunk of a car, and taken to a mobile home outside of richmond. there they say barnes ordered the girl to take her clothes off, set them on fire, and dousing her in bleach and gasoline. she managed to escape. good thing there. we are in philadelphia. we hate to listen to the process of what you went through allegedly map is he likely to face in virginia? >> richard, you mentioned kidnap, rape, and attempted murder are the charges facing this man in virginia. and he could face anywhere up to life in prison if he's connected on all of those charges. so very serious. also serious to mention that

this charges that came out of virginia. it was in october, around october 1st. that was just a matter of weeks before he committed what police say he committed this crime here in philadelphia. >> live for us in philadelphia. thank you so much. we want to go to the tape coming straight from the white house. the president's first cabinet meeting since the election. take a listen. >> the strongest job growth that we've seen since the 1990s. and all of this is a testament to the hard work and resilience of the american people. they have been steady and strong digging themselves out of the economic crisis since the great depression. and what we need now to do is make sure we build on the momentum. we recognize that despite the solid growth, despite the drop in unemployment there's a lot of folks out there who are anxious about their futures. who are having trouble. saving for their kids' college

education or being able to make sure that they're able to retire with dignity and respect. everything that we do over the next two years is designed and geared toward ensuring that folks who work hard in this country are able to get ahead. obviously we've had a significant midterm election, as i said at the press conference, my attitude has been and will continue to be that good ideas don't necessarily come from just one party. i'm looking forward to seeing the leaders of both democratic and republican caucuses this afternoon to have a chance to share with them both what i think we need to be doing to build on the economic momentum we already have and make stronger. but i'm interested in listening to them in terms of areas where we think it's possible to work together. whether that is putting people back to work through stronger

manufacturing here in the united states and selling more to countries around the world. one of the major topics we'll be discussing during my asia trip next week. whether it's figuring out how we can build on some modest new investments we've been making to early hochildhood education. we know it works. and there's strong bipartisan support for that around the country. let's see if we can do more. all of these issues are ones in which there is a strong possibility of bipartisan cooperation as long as we set politics aside for a moment and focus on the people who actually sent us here. in the meantime, in these regular meetings i'm having with my cabinet, i've been emphasizing to them from day one and will reiterate in this meeting the fact that separate apart from legislative activity we have the capacity to

continually improve how we deliver services to the american people. part of what has happened over the course of several decades is that people sometimes feel as if the federal government is distant and not customer friendly. that there's too much bureaucracy. because of the fine work of members of the cabinets we've been able to chip away at the old ways of doing business and start instituting new ways of doing business that improve customer service. that make sure people get the help they need. this week i had a chance to welcome conversation with our new secretary of veterans' affairs who is coming from the private sector but also coming from west point an extraordinary legacy of service in armed forces, and what we're already seeing is bob is able to start

skinning down the wait times for people in terms of getting appointments they need, but also building on successes that have been taking place over the last several years. reducing homelessness, for example, our hud secretary donnavan and now castro reduced veteran's homelessness by 30%. a lot is not by virtue of new legislation. it's just by us focussing more on these problems and managing them better and continually listening to the american people to see how we can be more helpful. there are a lot of opportunities for us to do that here today. i'm going take an inventory of the progress being made in various departments. we're also going to focus on the fact between now and the end of the year there's immediate work that needs to be done. we have made progress in building the kind of public health infrastructure we need to deal with any eventuality with

respect to ebola. it's a concern here domestically but most importantly, still a concern internationally. so we'll get reports from sylvia burwell and susan rice and others and those actively involved in the fight. ron klain is here to tell us how the work we need to do with congress to help advance and ultimately stop this epidemic overseas to make sure that the american people are safe. we also have some significant national security issues. we have to make sure that our efforts against isil are properly funded and so that would be an opportunity for secretary defense hagel to brief us on the progress in our campaign against isil in iraq and some work in syria. bottom line is that, as i've told my white house staff and shared in the past with my

cabinet, we're privileged to be in a position where every single day we can have a positive impact in some way on the lives of the american people. when i started out on this journey with joe biden and we traveled around the country, you know, we're constantly reminded the hard work and sense of community and family that exists in every pocket and every corner of this country. the same kinds of values that joe grew up and on and i grew up on. what we want to do is make sure that between now and the time that the next administration takes over that every single day in every single agency we are constantly finding ways to build on those values and make sure that we are making this country safer and more prosperous.

base order the conversations i've with had with this cabinet there's no lack of enthusiasm or energy in achieving that goal. all right. thank you very much everybody. >> president obama and his regular cabinet meeting a couple of notes bipartisan cooperation also saying he's ready to listen to the gop on ideas on the economy. we'll have more on that meeting that he was previewing coming up at what we expect to start sometime very soon. kari dan and nbc's first read team will be joining us to talk about the meeting. a terrifying attack inside a hospital caught on camera. a patient viciously attacks a group of nurses with a metal pole. a federal appeals court put a brakes on the wave of victory of same-sex marriages. we haven't heard the words in awhile. polar vortex. some of the arctic air coming on

we've still got a month to go before it's officially winter. the polar vortex is making an early appearance next week. it's returning with a vengeance. part will dip into the u.s. bringing frigid temperatures to much of the midwest. overall some 240 million americans will be affected by this. lows could dip into the 20s. it's expected to move south. by the end of next week it will be felt into florida. sorry. the likelihood the supreme court will take up same-sex

marriage is even stronger. in ohio, kentucky, michigan, and tennessee the appeals court reversed lower court decisions currently on hold that declared the bans unconstitutional. nationwide, the number of states allowing same-sex marriage light now remains at 32. pete williams is live in washington and watching this so closely what will happen next. will the supreme court take up the issue? >> seems very like think will happen. the people who lost yesterday the lawyers for the couples, the 16 gay couples who were challenging the bans have a choice to make. they could go to the full six circuit court of appeals. yesterday was a three panel. they can skip it and go to the u.s. supreme court. it's that option that seems to be the clearest one here. there's a lot of lawyers involved. they'll have to decide it together. all the early indications they'll try to get to the

supreme court quickly. if they act quickly it could be before the justice by mid january if the supreme court decides to take up the case it would be argued probably in late april with a decision by late june. if the supreme court wants to take it up now in the prospects are much more likely now that the supremes that the federal appeals courts disagree then it could be that the decision once and for all will be made this term. >> if it were to be taken up this term, pete, what would the likely outcome be? >> well, of course, i have no idea. >> right. >> i will say that the advocates of same-sex marriage believe there are at least five votes on their side. who knows. the odds are they believe that anthony kennedy is with them. he's written three pbs now that are considered pro gay rights. would he be willing to take this ultimate step now and say that

the constitution bans states ban same-sex marriage that is a fundamental right under the constitution. that's the big question. they believe the answer to the question is yes. of course, there's no way to be sure. >> all right. nbc's pete williams. thank you so much. still ahead. a rare look at the spacecraft designed to take humans farther than we've ever gone before. >> it's absolutely the biggest thing that the agency is going to do this year. this is really our first step in the journey to mars. >> the space capsule. a month away from the first test flight. we're live on the launch pad shortly. today's first read said the meeting gets underway between president obama and congressional leaders is all about setting the tone. one clue that could be a sign of how it goes. we'll tell you straight ahead. here is a look what is happening today friday november 7th at 2:00. a historic ruling is expected about the plan that could allow the city of detroit to exit chapter 9 bankruptcy. tonight jay leno is back on the

police still don't know what exactly set off a brutal attack inside a minnesota hospital. it captured the moments the patient attacked a nurses station wielding a metal pole. we might want to warn you the video is disturbing. >> it happened without warning. a 68-year-old hospital patient out of his bed and on the attack. wielding a metal pipe ripped from his room. the wild swings could have been deadly. unsuspecting nurses dived some of the blows and scrambled for

their lives. now a second angle. the hallway cam captures the chaos beyond the doors then the sprint to safety. one nurse stumbles and struck twice. the man with the club isn't finished. the battered nurse seriously injured. >> one sustained a collapsed lung, another sustained a fractured nurse. the other nurses sustained cuts and bruises. attacks like this in saint paul, minnesota used to be rare. some argue not anymore. osha said health care workers suffer more injuries and illness cases than any other private sector. in 2010, more than 11,000 employees were assaulted. the suspect charles logan, sr., was confronted outside the hospital by police with a taser and died shortly after being handcuffed. investigators now say they may never know what fuelled this terrifying attack.

into next year with the clean slate. getting the smaller issues out of the way and dealing with the bigger questions health care and immigration next year. i think if you see either side going to the microphones and talking about the meeting it might reflect that isn't the way forward they couldn't reach comprise and they want to complain. if we don't hear from them it probably means this meeting went pretty well. the other thing you mentioned is the nuclear bomb issue. the president has said on immigration if he is to act mitch mcconnell said i'm going to basically going to not do anything on any other legislative priorities, and meanwhile john boehner said if the president does anything on immigration we're going to do the same thing. i think those are two issues we're looking forward to going forward. >> as we look forward after the tuesday. there's been talk in the new york times, for instance, reporting how the outcome tuesday's route here that could accelerate what hillary clinton may or may not do.

>> that's right. and basically i think what the reporting indicated is that hillary clinton had some of the advisers around her head said maybe we should wait until prick spring to make an announcement. after democrats were beaten so badly on tuesday, first of all, republicans are already treating her as the presumptive nominee anyway. and second think, democrats with the president's ratings so low are demoralized. if hillary clinton jumps in it would democrats somebody new to point to. we can start with hillary clinton be the presumptive candidate anyway. >> kari dan, thank you so much. coming up an update on the drummer for ac/dc who was charged with trying to hire a hit man to kill two men. that charge has been dropped now. we have the details. plus. >> it's not the first thing on my mind when i wake up. it's not the last thing when i go to sleep. and i think that's a good place to be when you have a disease like ms. >> i'll talk to jack osbourne.
