. >> i want to bring in josh lederman. with us from the white house. josh, we know the white house also expected this ruling at some point. they got it today. what are we expecting to see in terms of response from the president? >> reporter: garrett, we've not heard response yet from the white house and the president but learned president biden will speak. he will deliver remarks on-camera at 12:30 p.m. on the supreme court's ruling in this case. the president will speak from the cross hall according to the white house, which is a location within the white house residence where you've often seen the president give addresses to the nation, and we've seen some activity here at the white house in the last half an hour as chairs were being removed from the west wing. clearly a lot of officials trying to figure out exactly what the president is going to say. even though, as you point out, thiv had a lot of time to prepare for this. in fact, preparations for the eeventuality or possibility of a ruling like this was started, we are told, even before that draft

. >>> joining us now, is nbc news correspondent josh lederman, josh, good morning, thanks for joining us today. this has been long-awaited and it is obviously not a final deal just yet. what has this bipartisan group of senators provided as to a time line as to when we may see a final version of the bill and what goes from there? >> jonathan, this is one of those situations where the devil really is in the details. and i am told that as of today, senators and their aides will get to work turning this framework, which is really just a broad contour, right, here is what we're trying to, do here are the basic principles we agreed on and actually turning that into legislative text, into a bill that every member of congress can read, can go over, their constituents can look at, decide if it is something they support or something they oppose, and that's where, you know, the rubber could really hit the road, and it's also why lawmakers are so interested, and they acted as quickly as possible. i spoke last night with senator of delaware, a close ally of the biden white house who is also one o

and josh lederman from the white house today. josh, starting with new reporting. white house source telling nshs news to expect relevant agency announcements to stand up for reproductive health care this week, but they do acknowledge they have very limited options. >> reporter: they do, andrea. in fact, the short list of steps that the white house rolled out on friday just hours after the supreme court ruling came out was indicative of how few options they had. the white house announcing last week they were going to move through the justice department to protect the ability from women to travel from one state to another. of course, working with fda and the health and human services department to ensure wide accessibility to abortion medications, including through the mail and telehealth. now a white house official says we should expect additional announcements from the federal agencies as they work to ensure continued access to abortion for as many people in the country as possible. we also expect this to be a major public messaging push with administration offici

josh lederman is into santa fe, new mexico, ahead of the presidents a visit.ow is president biden addressing all of these concerns about these latest economic reports? >> i wish i was in santa fay. it would be a lot warmer and a lot less raining at the white house. >> i'm sorry. >> it's a case. the president has been asked repeatedly about this issue, alex. they try to emphasize the positive parts of the economy given the fact that so much has challenged americans economically and his outside of the white house's control. president biden does not have a lot of levers left to be able to bring down prices in the short term. i specifically have been asking the white house today about this new national average, exceeding five gallons -- $5 a gallon. once again, the white house is pointing the finger at russia for this price hike. we are also noting that this is something that we are not just seeing here. in fact, the price of the gas and gallant as gone up to a buck 50 or more in the u.s.. according to the white house, more than $1.90 in canada. more than $2 and t

thousands protests in cities across the country calling for an end to gun violence nbc's job nbc's josh lederman breaks it down for us. >> reporter: democrats and republicans doing what almost no one thought they could, reaching a deal on guns it's a compromise, far short of what democrats wanted. like an assault weapons ban. still president biden saying it would be the most significant gun legislation to pass congress in decades the president pushing congress to pass it fast, writing, the sooner it comes to my desk, the sooner i can sign it just this weekend, tens of thousands took to the streets across the u.s demanding that congress act. >> i want to bring a measure to the floor for a vote as quickly as possible. >> reporter: the center piece of the deal targets 18 to 21-year-old gun buyers, requiring them to wait for enhanced background checks that will include a check with local police it's just a framework with details missing, but ten republicans have signed on, enough to survive a filibuster and stand a real chance of becoming law even senate republican leader mitch mcconnell a staunch g

trump campaign manager bill steppian, and former fox news political editor chris steyerwalt nbc's josh ledermane >> reporter: the january 6 committee gearing up for round two. after the first hearing revealed new evidence that former president trump's inner circle told him directly that he lost the election monday's hearing will focus on how trump ignored those facts, instead perpetrating the big lie. >> president trump engaged in a massive effort to spread false and fraudulent information, to convince huge portions of the u.s. population that fraud had stolen the election from him >> reporter: some 20 million people tuned in for the first hearing. a preview of dramatic revelations the committee says are coming in the remaining hearings including evidence that trump cabinet members discussed removing him from office using the 25th amendment and that several republican lawmakers involved in the big lie asked trump to pardon them after january 6th. committee chairman bennie thompson saying, we'll soon learn exactly how many >> that will come out in our hearings >> reporter: among the expected wit

. >>> joining us now, nbc news correspondent josh lederman. josh was covering this all day yesterday as it went down. josh, what more can you tell us? >> reporter: well, mika, the big success tomorrow, the breakthrough perhaps, if you will, was the fact that there were ten republicans who signed onto this framework agreement that the senators have reached. meaning, assuming that that level of support carries forward, you have filibuster-proof support for this legislation and an actual chance of something becoming law, which you contrast that with the much more sweeping package that the house passed just last week that would have gone much farther but, of course, was politically dead on arrival in the senate. but this is just a framework, as you pointed out in the intro. there is no legislation written yet. today, senators and their aides will start the very difficult task of turning this framework into an actual bill that lawmakers can look at, everybody can decide whether they support it. frankly, outside groups can start to lobby for it and a

we are gonna begin right now with josh lederman in rehoboth beach delaware where the president is spending his vacation. we have to talk about gas prices. they are reaching record highs. but then you also have the new jobs report being stronger than what was expected. what have you heard from the president overall about the economy? >> those gas prices alex. the rnc pointing out that the gas price on average right now is double what it was on the day president biden took office in 2020. now, as far as president boyden's approach to this, he's trying to do something that is very difficult, which is to convince americans that the economy is actually doing better. polls show most americans actually feels like it is right. now the president using those jobs to say the fundamental of the economy are strong. and to play down the prospect of a recession, even at some outside recognizance are saying that is now likely, if not inevitable. at the same time the president's cheerleading the economy, he's also trying to do something that might seem contradictory. he's assuring americans that essentiall

josh lederman will take the show straight to us with white house. josh, welcome. the mystery responding today? >> well, alex, the biden administration today trying to poke clothes and a new narrative that has really taken ahold amongst the presidents economic critics over the last few days. that the american rescue plan, that 1.9 trillion dollar covid stimulus package, that that is a key reason that we're experiencing the inflation and high prices and everything from gas to groceries. because of this massive infusion of cash into the economy by the federal government. this has gained steam in the last few days amid reports that a new biography of treasury secretary janet yellen, which says that she privately advocated for a small recovery package because she was worried it would fuel inflation. yellin overnight released a statement saying that is not true. this morning, we heard from commerce echo terry gina raimondo saying that she disagrees with the idea that the package that biden championed is the result we're facing the inflation that we are facing right now.

. >> nbc's josh lederman is with the president and joined by ron insana.erts saying for president biden here and he continues as we've seen in the past to be juggling this issue of nagging inflation too. >> that's right, hallie. that nagging feeling that polls show so many americans have that the economy is not quite as strong as the white house is making it seem. a sentiment perhaps best captured in that elon musk tweet you were just talking about where he said he has a really bad feeling about the economy, president biden dismissing that with a quip today about he hopes elon musk enjoys his trip to space but i think that the white house really is still pretty confident that the prospects for a recession are not quite as great as some of the outside skeptics or critics are making it seem and in part that is because of the jobs. what president biden was talking about, this historic growth in jobs since the low point of the pandemic and part of it is because white house economic officials are still hearing from business owners that the demand for their prod

i was told by sources, along with our msnbc news josh lederman, we are both the hold is between 15 and with a b, dollars, that's as much as it's gonna cost. there was an aide for senator john cornyn, who's one of the lead republican senator negotiators, who's saying that that that is probably not what they believed to be the final number the final cost. but, you have to go for what do republicans talk of his costs. because the senators saying that there is not going to be new appropriated money, but when i'm talking to senators who are saying this is still gonna be real money, and they're looking at possibly a medicare rebate. there's other conversations about using funds that were appropriated for covid, we're infrastructure to do this. i was also told that the biggest part of this bill is going to be the mental health services. most of the money is going to go to that, there's also maybe up to a billion dollars for states to have incentives to implement red flag laws, which would stop some people who are seen as a danger to themselves and others from getting guns. >> i want to talk a

. >> i want to go to nbc news's josh lederman joining us from the white house. josh, how is the white house reacting? >> well, so far, there has not been a response from the white house to this ruling. jose, we have asked the white house whether we should expect to see president biden speak on this issue today. we have not gotten an answer yet, but we are hearing from another president, former president barack obama, who has just tweeted that today the supreme court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues. former president obama going on to say this decision today attacks the essential freedom of millions of americans. but in the meantime, jose, the biden white house has been preparing for the possibility of this ruling today literally for months. even before that leaked draft ruling that seems to point towards what ultimately happened today. and the white house is expected to respond to today's ruling by doing whatever it can to try to insure tha

joining me now from capitol hill is nbc news correspondent ali vitale and josh lederman. president there speaking to americans saying that in order to do something about this, you got to vote, you got to vote for different people, you got to put them into a position of power to make it a federal law. >> that's right, katy. the president trying to take that frustration and dispay and really funnel that into a new call to action that is, frankly, fairly political. the president making explicit comments today from the cross hall of the white house about the need to elect lawmakers in this november mid-term elections who will support codifying roe v. wade, codifying a right to an abortion into law. and it's not often that we will hear the president in that setting making as clear as he did today that this is about how people are going to vote. because as the president was very ready to admit, there is nothing he can do on his own to restore the right that the constitution according to the supreme court does not guarantee to abortion rights. and so the president saying, look,

. >> nbc's josh lederman is in delaware following the president. i want to bring in ben white, chief economic correspondent for politico and host of the politico money podcast. he is an msnbc contributor. the answer was a little longer than that, but he ended with that clip in response to elon musk. i think you can hear the frustration and the pressure the white house is feeling, whether it's in that answer or what we heard from the president today. let me play just a little bit more of that. >> sure. >> i'm doing everything i can on my own to help working families during this stretch of higher prices. i'm going to continue to do that. but congress needs to act as well. we can do so much more if we come together to lower the cost for american families. >> so, give us a reality check right now. both on the state of the economy and, to be fair, how much a president can do. >> right. the white house, as you said, is really frustrated with the stickiness of inflation. we still have, you know, 8%-plus inflation and wages only going up around 5%. that is

i'm going to read you a little bit about when i have been told and what our other colleagues, josh ledermandeemed a risk themselves or others. there's also enhanced background checks for 18 to 21-year-olds in this country. they're finding for mental health, school safety funding, a provision addressing the, quote, boyfriend loophole on domestic violence. another provisions talking about trafficking, purchases, and tele-health. but isn't in this of, course is a ban on assault weapons total. we've heard president biden say that he wanted to see that pass. he also said that senators can't get to that, let's go something else. this is that something else. the president has really pushed this country, he said the term pain into action. on the sunday, we are seeing action from the senate. whether not this ends up becoming a law, which right now has not been written yet, is still, of course, a question, this is a big, big sign that senators are feeling the urgency of this moment. feeling the pain that we've heard from so many survivors and their families, as well as people who have lost loved ones
