mr. jeffries, has been in touch with the republicans to say there is a bipartisan path forward, that democratsould craft. and i hope that my friends and i do have friends who are republicans in this house who think about that because we can end up with a stronger institution instead of someone who really helped to try to overturn our form of government on january 6th. >> you were part of the committee that developed evidence that proved even jim jordan thought he might have committed crimes. the january 6th report says this, quote, in the days following january 6th representative jordan spoke with white house staff about the prospect of presidential pardons for members of congress. liz cheney said this, jim jordan knew what he planned more than any other member on the house of representatives. and if republicans decide gymnasium jordan should be the speaker there'd be no way to argue a group of elected republicans should be counted onto uphold the constitution. should we reframe our conversations about why that is and why jim jordan needs sean hannity to earn support for him in his own caucus?

mr. jeffries' piece this morning. >> congresswoman, i know that you made some -- or shared some of what youour unique perch as investigators on the select committee about jim jordan. i wonder if you could share some of that with us. let me make it a two-part question. he seems to be a clear co-conspirator to the violence on january 6th. i mean, he's -- and i don't know there's anyone more central to everything that ensues and unfolds after the election. he says on january 3rd, quote, the ultimate date of significance is january 6th. this is how the process works. the ultimate arbitrator, the ultimate check and balance is the united states congress. and something rease done in an unconstitutional fashion, which happened in several of these states, we have a duty to step forward and have this debate and have this vote on the 6th. none of that was true. none of that was founded. he certainly had access to the information that bill barr developed as attorney general the month before that, he had access to the losing lawsuits that rudy giuliani mounted by the 3rd, they had lost 60. what is the s

mr. jeffries into the weekend. from new york city, congress and jeffries is going to be front and center here. let's assume it's a debacle. predictable right now. it is a debacle. what do you do to get to get the monday or the sunday talk shows? listen to the democrats. jonathan: the story is off the radar at the moment. general motors and the united auto workers making a tentative deal to end the labor strike. the two sides are moving closer but having disputes over pay and pensions. shawn fain expected to give another update later this morning. we will get there at 10:00 a.m. lisa: it's interesting that it's off the radar given how long it's gone on and how much it potentially could reduce the supply of cars. what does that do? increase prices when people are worried about inflation. this really does highlight how all these micro factors continue to go on as people worry about these exalted us risks. the reason people still see strength in inflation and wage pressures this really represents. jonathan: uaw still f
