>> yeah, i do, alex.ric week we had a couple weeks ago when the president signed into law the infrastructure bill. the infrastructure investment and jobs act on monday. and then at the end of the week, on friday, we in the house of representatives passed the build back better act. it is now in the senate. i think it will take a couple weeks there. we do have some hurdles, but i do think we will get this done. about 90% of the bill has already been preconferenced, which is a maybe slightly fancy way of saying we've already reached agreement with the relevant parties on most of that. in terms of what might come out, i mean, i'm one of the house democrats that's been fighting to keep paid sick leave and paid family leave in the legislation. i'm hoping that we'll ultimately prevail on that. but let's not lose sight of all the things that are in this piece of legislation from universal pre-k to the tax cut for families with children to the negotiation of prescription drugs, which will be historic, the first ti

welcome to "alex witt reports." we begin in washington where president biden's build back better act is headed to the senate and it's sure to face an uphill battle, as moderates and progressives remain split. today, democrats are seemingly confident they can come together while republicans are railing against the price tag. >> i'm very confident. i'm the overwhelming member of provisions in the bill are supported by all of our caucus. and really, this is about putting people first. i do believe this will be mostly or overwhelmingly in tact. >> so look, more programs and all of that sound good, but end, they have to be paid for and they have to be sustainable, because these aren't programs that we're just going to do for a couple of years. this is one-time money, but now it has to get built into a budget. washington doesn't seem to understand the concept of a budget, but somebody has to pay for this. >> it comes as the senate is gearing up for quite a busy holiday season. not only do they want to get that bill across

alex?ch that you get to cover this happy event after everything that you have had to personally cover the past few years, so many horribly sad covid stories. >> a tough one. happy thanksgiving. >> happy thanksgiving. >>> coronavirus cases as well as hospitalizations are on the rise. americans are hoping to have a more normal thanksgiving tonight. joining me now to talk about this is dr. carlos del rio, the associate dean of emery school of medicine. doctor, thank you for joining me. >> happy thanksgiving, alex. this year, it's extremely different from last year, when essentially no one was vaccinated. how are you celebrating personally. what are you telling your patients to do today? >> well, alex, we're celebrating by getting together with -- and we're doing it with everybody who's vaccinated. we have a 1-year-old who is not vaccinated, but that's the only person. we have testing, we have vaccines, we have many ways to increase the risks. >> you just touched on it. obviously. so many famil

they are roger stone, and alex jones. roger stone avoided serving the 40 month prison sentence that he got for his previous crimes on behalf of donald trump, when donald trump commuted the sentence that roger drone was scheduled to begin serving. the committee's letter to roger stone says, quote, you have stated that you are invited to lead a march to the capitol from the ellipse rally on january six, but did not end up doing so are going to the ellipse rally or the capitol, that day. tonight, roger stone issued this statement, saying, quote, i have said time and time again that i have no advance knowledge in the events that took place at the capitol on that day. after the subpoenas served and after my council reviews the requests, i will make the determination of how i will proceed. today subpoena will add to alex jones is mounting legal bills. last week a connecticut court found alex jones liable for money damages in the defamation lawsuit brought by the parents of children killed in the 2012 massacre at sandy hook elem

>> reporter: and i was in the room for that, alex. just to bring viewers into the event a little bit, this was a different joe biden than we've seen at times over the last course of these months of his presidency. he was far more ebb ewe lent, jovial, saying finally infrastructure week. you could really tell this was a president who was incredibly pleased with this legislative victory. this is something he had campaigned on, something he had pushed, something he had promised to do in a bipartisan fashion. and that is exactly what congress will end up delivering and send to his desk for signature soon. so the president was in an excellent mood in terms of that piece of legislation that now will become law in the coming days, but he said there is still a lot of work to do left on this other piece, the social safety net and climate plan, that larger multitrillion dollars bill that still faces an uphill climb in the senate. the president kept repeating to the american people these bills are for you. i want you to know how you're going to

alex: it is incredible.pite the headlines and challenges being written about the auto market, it's a really healthy market, including for platforms like ours, where consumers can look nationwide. with technology, consumers can see the market wide view on their phone, see who has what inventory in stock. matt: to me, coming from germany, where i spent most of my time, it seems like there is so much opportunity here. in germany, there is one platform that pretty much everyone uses. here you have got such fragmentation. there is a huge prize out there for the winter. how do you get that? alex: there are 40,000 dealers in the u.s.. we have just under 20,000 as customers, so we have a long way to go to win the rest of the dealers on our network. make no mistake, every dealership, as a result of covid, is trying to adopt digital platforms, services and solutions, mimic what carvana has done, but we are trying to arm the fleet. be able to compete using tech. matt: you want consumers, when they think about selling a

>> alex, yes i do.ican is above the law, that when congress asks for basic documents. when congress asks for you to testify, you comply. and what's important to realize here is steve bannon wasn't working at the white house. he wasn't even actually on the campaign. he was a private civilian. he should do what any american should do which is comply with congress' request. >> okay, and we will see what happens on monday. we know he'll be in court for an appearance then. let's go to the gas prices because right now the national average for gas is roughly $341. about a year ago it was $3.18. you have democrats calling to release supply from the strategic petroleum reserves. i think that's something you've supported, correct? haven't you talked about that? >> yes, alex, i have. i was back home all week. gas is almost $5. we need immediate leaf for the working class and middle class. the tapping of the strategic petroleum reserve would help. but the real long-term solution is to invest in renewable energy, el

right, alex? yeah, i just actually makes a great point. i've always said, unless people always say they wanna have change and make change and they put lip service out. people are sick and tired of it now they've had enough. but when you look at the top and i'm talking about the boards in level now, are you walking? is predominately white middle age or older men that off in charge. and we are not privy to what happens in those meetings, but you couldn't, you can sort of have a guess of the conversations that are going on in there. and so just going back to your point about, you know, especially with the asian guys, you know, playing cricket, listen where i grew up in else filled ok in one's in south london and the cricket club, the i was affiliated with, honestly about 80 percent asian guys and they play i representative age group stuff by side says you do not see that transferred when it comes to contracts. you just do not see it. you will see them be in use plain in 2nd thing gains. and they're doing well just as good as that their white

he speaks to alex, that's one canyon. what though, 18 months or more added to the end to the turn of virus, the cobra infection, but still a huge number of cases in the united kingdom every day been 50000 new infections regularly. are you surprised by the apartment and ability of the vaccination program to get to grips with these sort of numbers of infections? i'm not surprised, i'm disappointed. and my disappointment is that we have mismanaged it in the united kingdom. without a doubt. if we look at comparable countries in our neighbor, neighboring europe, germany, france, spain, italy, they are case numbers their best, their management is better. and the reason we need to learn from them is simple precautions. simple, easy measures actually help. and the helps of brass case numbers. could you put your finger on where these weaknesses stand, have been what it is, a boat, the management across the 4 countries of the united kingdom, which, which is certainly the infection still spreading at such a, such a high rate. so the

i am alex reference. you know, what kind of message says the center kids an and cricket is an extremely popular sport for it, for people at south asian backgrounds, 30 percent of recreational cricket players across england and wales, half south asian background. only 4 percent of professional cricketers are british asian. why is that? what is the disconnect? well there's a few issues there. i mean 1st and foremost it's see a lot patel they're speaking very openly and honestly and a person of a cricket club as well. i think that's a airbag issue. so there's a lack of coaches of ethnic i know is within english get tickets. there's a lack of people from ethnic minorities within the boardrooms running these clubs and in positions of power. well, i mean that's something that needs looking as well, isn't cricket is africa being cooked as in england are disillusioned with cricket. they, they see themselves as talented cricketers. they see themselves as good enough. they are sometimes better than the peers. somet

he did not want this to drag on any longer, alex.have been talking and having these conversations now for almost seven months, and he wanted to see this finally get across the finish line. just a few hours ago, he spoke at the white house about how he was finally able to pull this off. listen to what he had to say. >> i've been doing this thing any whole life. i've been able in the senate to put things together when people said they couldn't be put together just by making the overwhelming point that you can't have all you want. it's a process. there's no one piece of legislation that's going to solve everybody's problems. the fact that it has too much where you don't want and more than -- not enough where you don't want, just let's -- let's be reasonable. let's take a look at this. let's do what we all agree at a minimum is in the interest of the american people. >> reporter: alex, the president there used that speech to really take a victory lap to tout this bipartisan infrastructure bill, and we expect him to continue to highlight

the house letter in the subpoena today to alex jones is really striking., as you have stated the white house told you, alex jones, on january 6th you were to lead a march to the capitol where president trump would meet the group. according to this house letter, trump was supposed to actually be at the capitol on january 6th. what they're doing is trying to seek information about that and about trump's presence on january 6th. that to me is a pretty striking news statement. >> very important that you identify that. it was, of course, known that donald trump claimed in public that day he would go to the capitol. he didn't. there's been much, much debate over how long it took him to say anything and the way he responded to what was a violent insurrection. is your supposition or interpretation that the committee must have additional evidence or documentation of that plan? >> yes, exactly. that's what it looks like. it looks like a lot of people were read into the plan. this wasn't just some sort of donald trump last-minute thing he wanted to do. it looks like

>> thanks for having me, alex. what concerns me is that we don't do enough genomic sequencing here in the united states. outside of what many of my colleagues have already said, yes, we're waiting to see if it's indeed more transmissible. we're waiting to confirm through data if it's more severe, and we're waiting to confirm whether or not our currently available vaccines provide effective coverage. but while we're waiting to confirm those things and as other variants likely can and will emerge, we need to ensure that we're doing the best around surveillance methodologies, and we're not necessarily doing that. >> you know, raf made that point that a thousand americans are dying still every day from delta variant. so is there an indication that omicron could become that dominant? >> actually, we don't know with a sense of certainty yet. and you know my rule, don't communicate anything of certainty that we don't know with certainty. what we do know is there are a considerable amount of mutations in that spike protein

this is to alex jones from the 1/6 committee.eak at the ellipse rally, you were there. as you have stated, the white house told you on or about january 3, 2021, that after the ellipse rally ended on january 6th, you were to lead a march to the capitol where president trump would meet the group. you did, in fact, march from the ellipse rally to the capitol, accompanied by ali alexander, also known as alley abdul razak akbar and others. when you arrived at the capitol, you were recorded telling people not to be violent and to gather on the east side of the capitol to hear president trump speak. that location coincided with a site for which mr. alexander's stop the steal has organized and obtained a permit for a rally that day, though using the name, one nation under god. president trump, however, did not leave the white house to come to the capitol. so, the 1/6 committee is aware of communications between the white house and alex jones that happened on the day of january 3, 2021, where they were specifically planning for alex jones

i think for anybody who's watching this and thinking -- >> alex, alex, i'm sorry. >> yeah, go ahead.the ground stop has been lifted. the ground stop has been lifted. >> okay. so, that's -- that's good, and that refers to the planes being allowed to take off, but again, they have got to get the terminal and of course that area on the tarmac where people did run out of the terminal. they've got to get all that cleared so this still may take a bit. can you just reiterate the airlines that are affected here? yes, delta airlines is a major hub there in atlanta. are there other airlines for anybody watching this, knowing that they're going to have to go to the airport and pick up loved ones at some point, but they're thinking, oh boy, is this going to affect me? what other airlines are affected? >> i mean, delta's a giant airport so you have all the u.s.-based carriers have some flights there. you're going to have international carriers who also have flights there. i mean, yeah, delta, i'm not 100% sure, in many years it's been the busiest airport in the country. i would have to look that

alex: that is one of many factors. i think it has to do with how do we make sure that our strategies involving, that while it is tied to what our strategy has been in the past, that we are constantly evolving. this is a bold move and we think it is consistent with the way that we are seeing the market adjust going forward and as a result, we think both of these companies are going to be more competitive, better positioned to really help more people around the world. david: it is a big bold move. how long will it take and how does the johnson & johnson management make sure that your employees stay focused because you and i have been through situations where it is easy to get constructed and it consumes a lot of management bandwidth. alex: i have been very proud of the way that our teams in all of our sectors responded and stepped up to this period. it is interesting. if you look at our financial performance, if you look at our competitive shares, if you look at our r&d pipeline, if you look at our internal engagement sc

>> reporter: yeah, alex.sident is not publicly saying whether he has ironclad assurances from the key members in both chambers. it was a blow to house progressives who long wanted these two pieces of legislation to move together. the president is saying time will tell if he can keep some of the more popular provisions, like paid family leave. but here is the thing, the only reason this infrastructure bill was able to move was because they got enough progressives to believe them that they would get the second part of this agenda done. by them i mean, house moderates, pramila jayapal said that she did get assurances from at least five moderates that as long as a budgetary analysis checks out, that may take a couple weeks that this bill would be passed. here is cedrik richmond, a white house senior adviser earlier today expressing some of that confidence. >> many people didn't think we could get to 50 votes on the american rescue plan because it was $1.7 trillion. many people didn't think we could do a bipartisa

once again on the alex arnold. sure. thank you. in recent weeks, many northern hemisphere countess had been registering epidemic levels of krona virus infection. even in new zealand, the exemplar of liberal democracies, and by this control cases are on the rise in the summer, all be still at tiny levels compared to other countries. the vaccines have, we can the link between infection and hospitalizations and death, but worldwide 50000 deaths to being recorded each and every week and even have access to countries have failed to crack the epidemic. meanwhile, the logistics of the role i to the vaccine to the developing world looks painfully and irresponsibly slow in the ford administration that the u. k. it is clear that the decision to resume the school timetable before the start of the teenage vaccination program has been the key driver in the continuing high levels of infections. better news come from the success of new therapies which adds to the armory of hard pressed intensive care medical staff. but the combination of intense

i'm alex in for boris sanchez. >> good morning, alex, good morning to you. i'm christi paul. thank you for waking up with us. we want to start here with these mounting fears of another pandemic setback this morning over that newell identified omicron variant. this hour turkish airlines has evacuate the its last flight out of south africa. 41 passengers total. that's due, of course, to the emergence of the new strain. >> coming up later today, president joe biden will be returning to the white house from his thanksgiving break as his administration works to enforce emergency precautions to contain the spread of this new variant. starting tomorrow travellers from south africa as well as seven other southern african countries will be restricted from entering the united states. health experts, meanwhile, are warning that omicron variant may already be here in the u.s. >> there's no way that it's in this many countries across the world, and it has not made it here into our shores. now that we have our eyes open for it, it's probably going to be days until we find it and confirm th

even alex jones, as betsy points out, says be peaceful. but then he's also directing them to the west side of the capitol where the worst of the violence breaks out. so it's a bit of both. they're doing things to escalate tensions, to spread lies, to spread fear, to spread anger, and then saying don't go too far sometimes. so it's a lot of walking people right up to the line and then seeing what happens. >> yeah. and there's a very -- i mean i'll editorialize here, you guys are straight reporters. but there's a very -- there's a kind of plausible deniability aspect that hangs over all of this. intelligence agencies will run an operation that they want to have kind of plausible deniability or arm's-length distance. well, we never authorized that you could go do that black bag job. there's a feeling to that like none of the connections are quite there, there's never any order given but a lot of stuff happens and is encouraged at arm's length that maybe you could plausibly deny but we also saw one plus one makes two. that's my estimation. bet

alex?indeed. okay. thank you so much, ralph sanchez, for that. joining me now is dr. eboni hilton. what's the most concerning thing that you've learned about this variant in the last 24 hours or so? >> the most concerning thing is that it is everywhere. we are targeting south africa as if that is the only place we have to be concerned with. we know that we've seen this variant in belgium, in germany, it's across our globe at this point. we are behind. that's nothing unusual with covid-19. we've always been a step behind which means that we have to be hypervigilant in our protection for ourselves. >> even though the w.h.o. is calling omicron as a variant of concern, "newsweek" is reporting that the first doctor who alerted authorities over the variant says symptoms are mild. what's your take on what we know so far? >> being it's early on, one thing i credit south africa is they have a pristine system because they are used to hiv and tb and have a system to track these things. we'll know we'l

think about it, alex. if the roles were reversed, you had a black father and a black son chase an unarmed young white man and kill him and right before they kill him, the father is on the back of a pickup truck with a shotgun and says to the young unarmed white man that we're going to blow your f'ing head off, nobody would say that this was nothing but bloody murder, and any proclamation of self-defense would fall on deaf ears. in fact, people would be offended by it. but because we have two justice systems in america, one for white america and one for black america, their self-defense alibi is given credence. >> i'm just taking in a moment listening to what you said, and yeah, it's extremely disturbing. and yes, i see exactly the point you're making. benjamin, let me ask you about, i understand you're also representing close to 200 people who got caught in the tragic and deadly astroworld festival concert. you filed a lawsuit on friday. what is your sense of the civil rights violation at that event? are y

welcome to "alex witt reports."begin with the new criminal charges against steve bannon, the trump ally and adviser facing two counts of contempt of congress for failing to comply with a subpoena issued by january 6th investigators. law enforcement officials tell nbc news that bannon is expected to turn himself in on monday and will appear in court that afternoon. while select committee members are hoping this indictment will turn up the heat on other trump alies to comply. >> this sends a really important message to future, you know, invited witnesses. future folks that are subpoenaed. you know, you cannot ignore congress. the reality is you may not like it. you may not like the investigation. you may think nothing wrong was done, but you're not going to be able to avoid it. >> meantime, in glasgow, the u.n. climate summit has now gone into overtime stretching past the friday deadline to try to come to a consensus on a global deal to tackle climate change. right now delegates are pouring over a new draft agreement.

alex has his hand up. alex. >> thank you for coming, rose. and telling us what you have so far. so i have another question i have two questions or three questions for you. one ask that can you tell us who decides who's getting a house and who doesn't because of a lot of people with disabilities are trying to get houses and as you mentioned one of the issues is their income and the high rent in san francisco. the second question is, is it true that people who are homeless are on the top of the list and people with disabilities and older adults can qualify? and the last question i have is that with this evaluation analysis, are you guys looking into homeless shelters and seeing how it we can be involved with some of the shelters places are not accessible for people. it can be beneficial for those places. and if you need me to repeat my question, please let me know. >> thank you, alex. those are all great questions. rose, your responses. >> i agree. those are great questions. i was trying to write them down, but we'll come back to alex if we need clarification or if i got any of th

but one thing it does do, alex, christi, it provides the u.s. government officials say with more time to fact find, more time to investigate this variant before it potentially causes problems here in the u.s. we heard dr. fauci earlier saying the cdc hasn't detected any cases so far, he would not be surprised if there were cases present. for the president's part yesterday, he used that announcement and proclamation to call on countries around the globe to make sure there are more vaccines available for countries, making sure they're pushing global vaccination efforts. but he also calls on americans to do their part, pushing americans that haven't gotten first shots to get shots into their arms and for those to get boosters, calling it a patriotic responsibility. alex, christi. >> jasmine wright on north lawn of the white house. thank you very much. >>> dr. jonathan ryaner joins us to share his perspective, professor of medicine and surgery at george washington university. thank you so much for being back with us. >> thanks for having me, alex. >
