12:00 pm
and life you've built for years to come. call... to receive $1500 off your kohler walk-in bath. and take advantage of our special low hey everybody. monthly payment financing. i'm yasmin vossoughian. if you are just joining us, welcome. if you are staying with us, thank you. kevin mccarthy sweating it out right now. -- to become speaker in the house is in jeopardy from the group of his right-wing members. in a moment i will talk to a texas democrat -- about what the democrats are planning to do about. it allows to get the congressman's reactions to donald trump's meeting with rapper kanye west and --
12:01 pm
the former president fiercely back peddling, saying he knows nothing about fuentes or his views. after one week after the shooting at again i, club colorado's lgbtq community demanding action there. -- holiday spending will depend on how inflation is impacting your household. >> i did not expect to buy this much, but it was definitely worth getting up this early and waiting in this long line. >> because of inflation, we have we are not able to spend as much as we had in the past. >> all that and a subway save caught on camera. we'll have the very latest on that story ahead. first, kevin mccarthy facing enough pill battle to become speaker of the house in the next congress, as he continues to face resistance in his own party. -- house freedom caucus member --
12:02 pm
is a hard no, because he does not see eye to eye on his mccarthy's pledge to fix the national debt. -- we spoke when he got the official nomination for house speaker, and you mentioned the 182 number right? it was not necessarily a great number, because it's a process that 200 vote threshold. and in this moment, mccarthy could be in jeopardy. this position for him could be in jeopardy. >> that first vote was always the one that would give us a sense of how much work mccarthy had ahead of him to get to that magic number of 218. at the same time, -- he lost less support in that room than other people who had won the speakers gavel after the fact. it's not that they feel bad about what where they were, they with new they're gonna have a tough road ahead here. that is why we are seeing mccarthy now beginning the
12:03 pm
negotiation process with all of the different factions within the republican congress. we've seen freedom caucus members be vocal. people like good and gates, saying their nose when it comes to mccarthy. he can only afford so many hard nose. the question is, how hard are the hard nose actually? what happens in the next few weeks? -- at the end of the day, the thing that i keep thinking about is, okay, kevin mccarthy might have a tough road ahead of him to get to 218, but you can't beat someone with no one. that was true even before the unofficial vote for leadership mccarthy survive two weeks ago. you would need an alternative. right now, i don't know who that person is. and i don't think republicans know who that person is, certainly not someone who could get to 218. >> that would be my follow-up. who else is there? who would have the votes? if not that then, what are the
12:04 pm
biggest, from what you're hearing, negotiating points, sticking negotiating points, controversial negotiating points, in which they're asking mccarthy to concede on if they're gonna give him the vote? >> the most controversial would be making it easier to make it easier to vacate the chair, making it easier to fire a speaker. we saw the freedom caucus being able to leverage this mechanism back in the john boehner day's. but now we are seeing some potential conversations around that. kevin mccarthy and his team will not agree to that you can imagine. -- who's in charge and what happens around what bills get to the floor. all these different processes that are centralized power within republican leadership, trying to make that more small d democratic to rank and file. that's something that's attractive to people in the freedom caucus. those are negotiations people are having right now.
12:05 pm
it might not sound like anything substantial, from the outside perspective, but just in terms of the way committee assignments are doled out, who has power on those committees, how bills get to the floor, what bills get to the floor, all of that ends up coming out in the policy wash and becoming really important. so it might be -- but it greatly impacts the output from these lawmakers when they actually start doing the job of governing. >> and it's often, ali, which you know well, these insight baseball conversations turn into the headline in six months or so when something actually happens based off of this very moment. ali vitali, as always, thank you. i want to bring in democratic congresswoman the government from texas, all green. thank you for joining. us we appreciate it. --
12:06 pm
what do you make of this? >> thank you for having me. the republican party is currently in a position such that, it doesn't know where it's going until it gets there. we just don't know what the outcome of this election will be as it relates to senator mccarthy. there are a handful of people, and it only takes a handful. that handful could make a difference. my hope is that we will have someone who will be reasonable, who will walk want to negotiate, as opposed to require that we capitulate. negotiation is a good thing. capitulation is not something acceptable. my hope is that, he or whoever it happens to be, we will see the world through the eyes of the people that it's not just through congress. they want to see us work together to get things done. and i'm prepared to do this with my colleagues across the aisle if they are. >> congressman, what areas do
12:07 pm
you see democrats and republicans being able to negotiate on in the house? >> when through the republican speaker, because we've set so very much about daca and the dreamers, my hope is that they have some desire to be reasonable about this, to have some degree of caring for people who came to this country, not of their own volition, but came here as children, who have been here, who have not broken any laws, who have demonstrated that they can be good citizens, productive citizens, my hope is that they will negotiate and want to work with us on this. also, my belief is we have to try to negotiate to pay our bills and make sure that we fund the government. we've got to fund the government. we're not a deadbeat nation. we've got to pay our bills. but funding the government is something we have to do by
12:08 pm
december 16th. i'm confident that we're capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time on the side of the aisle. and we can do this if we get a little bit of help from our friends across the aisle. >> congressman, you talk about daca. i want to speak specifically about jamie avalos, he's a father you all, know a daca recipients, stuck in mexico since august i believe, after he went there for a schedule interview as part of his process to obtain's permanent residency in the united states. -- tell us about what's going on there? why he's not able to come back to the united states? >> thank you very much for asking. mr. avalos is a special case. he is married to an american born woman, has an american born child, noaa, and know what will be celebrating his first birthday in december. mr. avalos went to mexico so
12:09 pm
that he could seek his visa and gain permanent resident status. he had a daca status in this country. he didn't go there on the the cover of darkness. he went there fully intend to follow the laws and upon getting, there it was found that he had been brought to mexico by his mother, some two decades more ago. and she brought him to mexico to register his birth. well, when she did that, she put him in the position of being barr, ben for a period of from coming back in the country for a period of ten years, for something that occurred when he was seven years old more than two decades ago. he has not been to any other country. he is a good, law-abiding citizen. any merits some consideration. i've spoken to the secretary mayorkas about this, who is a good and decent man. i compliment for what he's doing to try to help us with
12:10 pm
all the issues at the border. i've spoken to him. i'm writing another letter to him asking him to accord mr. avalos humanitarian parole, which means let him come in the country and stay until this tenure period is of, and then allow him to apply. we don't want him to mrs. charles's first walk, first, steps first day of school. we want him to have an opportunity to grow up with this father. this trial should not grow up without his father. this is a perfect example of how broken or immigration system is, such as the person who was taken out of the country by his mother when he was seven years of age, more than two decades ago, cannot now return to the country, when he went to the consulate in mexico for lawful reasons, and that would be to acquire his fisas we could gain some permanent status in the country. it is a very shameful and sinful thing. i believe in this country. i believe that there is a way
12:11 pm
to bring mr. avalos home. we would like to have them home for christmas. but if not for christmas, we want him home as soon as we can get him here. it will not be soon enough because his baby misses him. i saw him -- i saw the baby trying to say daddy, and when the baby did, this you could see tears welling in the sizes he talked about his child. like let's bring in home. thank you for asking. >> congressman, thanks for sharing jamie story with us. before i let you go, i do want to ask you about the visit that the former president had with nick fuentes. he's this notorious white supremacist in this country, 24 years of age. i want to read from you what the new york times says about the. norman to get your reaction. even taking at face value mr. trump's process station that he knew nothing of mr. fuentes, the apparent ease with which mr. fuentes arrived at the home of a former president was under
12:12 pm
multiple investigations, including one related to keeping classified documents at mar-a-lago long after he left office, underscores the undisciplined, uncontrolled nature of trump's post presidency just ten days interest or campaign for the white house. what is your reaction to this? >> not shocked. because i understand that this is the president to weaponize tate. this is the president who introduced himself to the country when he was running for president the first time by demeaning and saying ugly things about persons aloof south of the border. this is a president who said there were some very fine people among the, racist, exam islamophobia, antisemites in charlottesville. this is the president who has demonstrated time and time again that he is comfortable in the company of people who are antisemitic, racist, bigots, homophobes, islamophobes, he's very comfortable with them. this is a president who said
12:13 pm
proud boys stand by. he seems to relish the opportunity to do these kinds of things. he is unrepentant. he has never really apologized, or sentence, aurier said these are bad people. he's never done these things. my hope is, this country will understand that he has had an impact on our society that we are suffering from to this day because of his behavior. when you don't put racism in check immediately, racism tends to fester. it can get out of control. much of what we see today is as a result of him having been president. my hope is that he will repent, i doubt that he will. mr. yay, we have said -- slavery was not something that was done voluntarily. it's insanity to say such a thing. and to associate yourself with
12:14 pm
those who were there in charlottesville when they were saying jews will not replace us, these are people who are bad people. we have to disassociate ourselves from them. i've done it. i hope that others will. i hope that the people who are in a position to say thanks to them, they will listen to. they have to speak up. the republican party, unfortunately, appears to be aligning itself with the bigots and the persons who peddle hate. and they are allowing their brown to be tarnished and to become associated with racism. republicanism and racism are almost synonymous. i don't want that. i want a strong republican party, who has done the things that it has done for this country. you asked me about these things. i would hope that republicans would speak to this president to let him know how shameful
12:15 pm
and sinful what he is doing us. >> congresswoman al greene, as always, thank you. breaking just moments ago, the biden administration easing sanctions on venezuela to allow chevron to resume-limited energy production in that country. the treasury report is going to allow chevron to resume-limited energy production. it's an effort to support negotiations between moderates government and the operation -- directed to pay ten debt to chevron. still, ahead how colorado springs is healing one week after the deadly shooting at a gay nightclub that rocked the lgbtq community at large their. plus, it is a shocking story, a movement of mainly white, wealthy people pushing to have tons of so-called genetically superior kids in an effort to save civilization? first, a as a holiday shopping rush has in fact begun, on the
12:16 pm

hi, i'm katie, i've lost 110 pounds on golo in just over a year. golo is different than other programs i had been on because i was specifically looking for something that helped with insulin resistance. i had had conversations with my physician indicating that that was probably an issue that i was facing and making it more difficult for me to sustain weight loss. golo has been more sustainable. i can fit it into family life, i can make meals that the whole family will enjoy. welcome back. it just works in everyday life as a mom. small business saturday is here. stores all around the country are welcoming lots of shoppers today, as people look to celebrate mom and pop businesses in their local communities. but hovering over all of this is inflation. nbc's brian chong is talking to
12:20 pm
those holiday shoppers. >> hey yasmin. hello from downtown richwood, new jersey, on this 13th annual small business saturday. more than half of holiday shoppers are expected to shop small the season. that's gonna be much needed for a lot of the small businesses, which are hoping, for the first time since the pandemic, to breathe. the pandemic forcing a lot of these businesses to close. this, year the big story, and a looming cloud over the economy, is inflation, prices are 7.7 higher than they were this time last year. i spoke to the owner of a bagel shop right behind me earlier today, and the owner was mentioning the import costs for things like, eggs, flower butter, have gotten phenomenally more expensive, to make bagels, which is so important for northern new jersey here. that is put them in a precarious position, where you either have to raise prices on your consumers and customers,
12:21 pm
who have been vin frequency in these places for decades, or you have to take it on the chin and except smaller margins, which, in the sense they have decided to do in the absence of raising their prices more aggressively. -- a lot of optimism that people will go out and support, in addition to the spending that may have done yesterday on black friday, some bright spots on the small business saturday yasmin. >> thank you to brian shunk for that. i want to stick to this subject of the economy, the inflation as we are heading into the holiday season. with that, i want to bring in kayla -- let's talk interest rate hikes. as we saw powell increase interest rates over and over again over the last 6 to 8 months or so, it's kind of a head spin, pretty jarring. but slowly but surely it is working.
12:22 pm
inflation is beginning to slow down just a bit. we know now, they are going to continue to increase interest rates, but not as much as they were prior. what do you make of this? how do you think it's gonna play out? >> good to be with you as always. the fed is being, in a couple of weeks, they will raise interest rates again. it will probably be half of a percent, not three quarters of a percent. -- they're gonna continue raising rates until inflation comes down. the federal reserve's target of inflation is 2%. we're at 7.7%. it's coming. down it maybe peaked a couple months ago. but it's still wear it where it's not the where the fed wants. -- not an holiday shopping so far. we've had good, online shopping numbers so far. holiday sales are gonna be a between seven and 8% over last year. >> so you're talking about good
12:23 pm
holiday shopping, what we've seen so far. we are seeing reports of more and more folks staying at home. shots telling us they're having excess inventory. to that indicate that we could be heading back to possibly normal? was this a wind up to inevitable recession? >> well, a recession is probably going to happen in the first quarter or second quarter of next year when you look at all the factors. business spending, capacity utilization, industrial production, and the job market. it is been held laying up a case so far, but we've got a report on friday. but we're starting to see mounting -- consumer sentiment is terrible right now, although we continue to spend. retailers, big retailers, our will recall bull with too much of the inventory of things we don't want, not enough of the
12:24 pm
things we do want. there are shortages of iphones and other components, but they're overstock with things we're just not buying. so there are not particularly strange pot right now. all these retailers are hoping to have big holiday sales, it won't be as much as it was last, year but it's still gonna be pretty strong. >> -- there is certainly becoming more and more disparity between wealthier and not wealthy americans. wealthy and poor americans. the new york times writes about the specifically saying, it is created to america's, with -- what you make of this overall and how do we get back to a robust middle class? >> great question. inflation does hurt lower income families the most. why? because we've seen inflation in what we cannot afford that we cannot afford not spending,
12:25 pm
that's food, rent, electricity. -- 1.7 trillion dollars in consumer savings right now, 1.5, one point 35 trillion of that is held by -- looking at rising credit card balances and rising credit card debt. that could be a problem as you go into the next year. consumer spending is so critical to the economy. lower income folks are having to pull back because of inflation where it hits them the hardest. >> caleb silver, as always, thank, you i appreciate it. coming up next everybody, whiplash for abortion providers -- reinstates a six-week ban on abortions, which has been declared unconstitutional. >> a word on the passing of oscar winning --
12:26 pm
irene cara -- flash dance and fame as well. the publicist tweeted her death late last night, saying the cause was own. >> i'm gonna make it to heaven, light up the sky like a flame. >> in the 80s, icon, for sure. everybody knows that song. that is for sure. everybody knows her name. irene cara with 62 years old. we'll be right back. be right back. go for 10 runs! run a marathon. instead, start small. with nicorette. which can lead to something big. start stopping with nicorette. moving forward with node- positive breast cancer is overwhelming. but i never just found my way; i made it. and did all i could to prevent recurrence. verzenio reduces the risk of recurrence of hr-positive, her2-negative, node-positive, early breast cancer with a high chance of returning,... as determined by your doctor when added to hormone therapy. hormone therapy works outside the cell... ...while verzenio works inside

12:30 pm
as we speak, voters in georgia are hitting the polls and key counties across the state, casting the ballot for the senate runoff between herschel walker and raphael warnock. today's voting day, only permitted after democrats prevailed in the state supreme court, over a gop challenge to block. it also, a key issue for many of those georgia voters was in fact abortion.
12:31 pm
the states supreme court once again reinstating a six-week abortion ban on wednesday after a lower judge suspended the law week before. six weeks is before even women know knows they're pregnant. that means the vance remains in effect until the state supreme courts russ -- rejected a request from abortion providers for 20 were our notice before reinstating the spent. shauna -- i gotta say, as all of this broke at the end of last week, i couldn't help but think about what took place in texas, when that vigilante law was put placed on the back and forth there as well, as we watched what happened, and all of these abortion clinics that were in limbo as to what actually do and how to move forward, here we are in the state of georgia dealing with the exact same thing and roe v. wade no longer being the law of the land. how jarring is this if you're
12:32 pm
an abortion provider? >> yasmin, thanks for having me. it is jarring. but also, the last election show, those who support abortion access are the majority, and we vote. time and time again, we have seen our rights taken away by the minority. we saw in texas. we're seeing it in georgia now. allowed an effective minority, but still a minority. georgia is a perfect example, despite overwhelming evidence that voters do not approve of these abortion bans, georgia is pushing through with one, so is florida. but georgia is also a perfect example on the republican hypocrisy on the issue. the candidate to the senate things he and the people in his life should have access to abortion, but everybody else shouldn't. what we know today, we are not going quietly. we shouted at the ballot box earlier this month. we're going to do it in every
12:33 pm
single election moving forward. >> so, you bring of course what happened in the midterm elections. you've got six states where abortion was on the ballot, including kansas as well. across the board, voters voted in favor of abortion rights. and ranked it as their top issue. what are organizations like yours going to take hold of this momentum, understanding how important abortion rights are former can voters in this country? >> we're gonna run candidates who champion are fundamental rights and freedoms every single cycle. we're gonna show up every cycle. we're gonna vote every cycle. we're going to hold those people accountable who don't support abortion rights and access. we're going to put abortion on the ballots in every state if we can. we have seen red and blue states, when the question is on the ballot, a majority votes to protect russian accent. just to, say the democrats
12:34 pm
majority, we also need to know to do more to protect abortion rights. -- we are the majority. we're not gonna sit back while the minority takes away our rights. and every person in a position of power is going to be expected to show up for us. when they don't, they're gonna be held accountable. >> i know republicans in tennessee are gearing up to restrict ivf and contraceptive of said. -- do they see this as a sign that they just don't have the support they need to move forward with legislation like this? >> and if they do see it as a sign, we saw it before the election. republican candidates stop talking about abortion altogether. they understood that, as long as it was on the ballot, they were gonna have a hard time with this election cycle. they are trying to be
12:35 pm
strategic. it's going to be our job, and people who understand what the real agenda is, to continue to expose what they're fighting for, despite what they're saying publicly. make sure that people are registered. make sure the candidates we need are running. to do everything that we can to not just hold the line but to fight back with ballots initiatives and with the candidates we need at the state and local level, as long as the federal question is at or reach with republican house majority. >> shauna thomas, thank you, i appreciate it. coming up everybody, in the wake of the colorado gay nightclub shooting, right-wing media are doubling down on anti lgbtq rhetoric. him -- >> i don't think it's gonna
12:36 pm
stop until we end this evil agenda that is attacking children. >> how the community moves forward in a country that is increasingly isolated. increasingly isolated. ...or plan? maybe... it's because in dreams, you can do anything. in dreams... you can hold your entire world in the palm of your hand. and turn time inside out... again and again. and you can do it all with your eyes wide open.

12:40 pm
shooting at club q. police continue their investigation, but reducing the perimeter around the club. the memorial is growing behind me. people coming from across town, across the state, to pay their respects. police had let people hear back in to retrieve their property. yesterday as a candlelight vigil was held. they continue their investigation. they're working to bring any additional charges that they can. the suspect is being held on suspicion of murder charges, as well as hate crime. -- prosecutors said they will prosecute this to the fullest extent if per if hate crime is -- the suspect had filed -- but they identify as non binary, using they them pronouns. we don't know a lot about the suspect's background, other than that they were estranged from their family members.
12:41 pm

12:42 pm
across the state, in particular in colorado springs. folks are on edge. they want a lot of support. there's a lot of anger and sadness, frustration. they want their local leaders, as well as state and federal, to provide support to them. many folks just don't understand why this is continuing to happen to the lgbtq community, but just mass shootings in general as well. >> do you feel as if you are getting the support both emotionally and physically, financially, that the community needs right now from both local and federal leaders in the wake of the attack? >> i won't speak specifically to the financial peace. i'm not sure. i know that we can do more. i was lucky to have some conversations yesterday with the department of justice. they know that there is a lot
12:43 pm

not an obsession with pro creating and having as many children as possible with his dna. now the collins couple, they are leaders in this very small and often secretive movement called pro natal-ism. they believe that through their superior dna, they can pass on high intelligence. and can help humanity in the future. >> not to sound psycho analytical, but this seems a little bit like north texas this thick versus and psychopathic behavior. even senior dna a superior to that is others. but put that aside, i'm, wondering why it is that you see this originating specifically and blossoming more so in the tech world? >> this is very particular to the silicon valley way of thinking. long javid e is another movement that took up a few

years ago, an ex session with extending lifespans. these people do have such faith in their own capabilities, and their ability to come up with new technologies that can help humanity, they believe it's the responsibility to give as much of themselves as possible to the rest of planet earth. there is some ego involved in that point of view for sure. >> you put it nicer than me. saying eagle. how many children of these people having? you talked about elon musk specifically. i believe he has potential green, right? with three different mothers of his children? how many children are these people having? how big is this group? is a growing? >> elon has farther ten known children. the collins's plan to have between seven and 13. that's very much inherent to this movement, this belief that it's up individuals. this is not something they want on a wide scale.
12:54 pm
they don't want everybody to have at least 2.2 children. they want certain individuals to have large amounts of children. >> because they don't want the people that don't necessarily have the superior dna to having a lot of kids that they are. because that would do the opposite of what they're trying to achieve, if you look at it in a logical way. i'm wondering also quickly if they are also looking to indoctrinate the children they're having. for instance, you talked about elon's ten documented children, are they looking to indoctrinate their children to take on their pro natal islam mentality? >> yes, that is one of the columns as many radical plans. they speak about their plans for their eight plus children to have at least eight children apiece, or 11 generations going into the future, and eventually
