most memorable moments over bubble and decided not to take the court in the aftermath of the jacob blake shooting in kenosha, wisconsin. they put the bubble back he together. called barack obama for help, enlisted michael jordan to assist with the conversations between the owners and players and decided to turn all these arenas into voting location and two days later, chris paul has to play in a high flakesoff game which will determine his team's future. [loss of audio] -- complete one thing after another experience, and so i wanted to carry that moment officer into the writing process, and i spent a solid two months night after night, reliving the bubble experience while i was still fresh and getting into a situation where this book would come out before the playoffs to kind of set the table for the upcoming post season but also serve as a time capsule for basketball fans this year and for decades going forward, hopefully who want to look back on this experience. >> it is interesting because you're right, the word time capsule. you're creating a moment in time, but you also -- the chall

to the white house and blake burman, blake, you know, let's get to president biden and the plan to win the global ev race because you see everybody in it now. >> i'd like to see you in one of those fully electric lamborgh ini, that be pretty cool. liz: i've got to stick with the tesla at the moment. reporter: there you go, i hear you so we did see right president biden in michigan today, he was at a ford plant in dearborn, michigan the ford f- series the most-sold vehicle in the u.s. annually and tomorrow, ford is going to be unveiling the new lightning, the electric vehicle for the ford f-150 so that's part of why president biden was there today he said he wanted to drop by and say thanks to ford for heading in that direction but also, liz there's clearly a political angle to this as well as you know the president has been pushing his american jobs plan which has a big push towards trying to build-out electric vehicles, and charging stations all across this country. for example, the plan calls for 174 approximately dollars to incentivize and build-out ev, $100 billion in rebate for ev

blake what have you discovered?w official ly proposing for fiscal year 2022, which means starting in october 1. the white house says that will include the annual spending plus the american families plan that the president is calling for , along with the american jobs plan that the president is calling for as well. let me show you some of the numbers on the screen if we can real quick because that 6 trillion top line figure plus there's about $4.1 trillion in revenue, you can do some back of the envelope math there, neil. that calls for a more than $1.8 trillion deficit, should the plans and proposals go through, for 2022. that is 7.8%, the deficit, in terms of gdp. now, the projected deficits do not end there though because when you look further down the line the budget that the office of management and budget is projecting, roughly $7.4 trillion in the next five years, roughly $14.5 trillion over the course of a decade. here is what the argument that the white house is making. neil, they believe that the president'

what about jacob blake, the kenosha man shot by police as was reaching for a knife his car, this timemp told the world that jacob blake was unarmed and that he was there getting into his car apparently after breaking up a fight between two women. that was also a lie. there was no fight between two women. jacob blake was not playing the role of peace keeper, he was at the home of a woman who accused him of a sexual assault and trespassing. and she is the one that called the police. then there is makia bryant, trump tweeted that the columbus police killed a, quote, unarmed 15-year-old black girl. now, look at this video and tell me makia bryant was unarmed. you can see in all of the videos as we all have seen our eyes are not lying she is holding a knife and attempting to plunge it into the chest of another young black woman. that's another lie. swept under the rug, memory hold by complicit media. how about daunte wright? remember him? he was tragically shot by a brooklyn center police officer who misclaims she mistook her service weapon for a taser. once again, crump was on the scene.

blake, enjoy your weekend.oining me now to discuss this is representative lloyd smucker on the ways and means committee in the house there. and i wanted to ask you about this first. well, first, i wanted to show people this. the spending that we've seen proposed since president biden took office 128 days ago, 128 days, all of this spending would add up to about 11.4 trillion. it's still a lot of money we're talking about. what's going to happen next year, and will this pass? you know, is this the definition of big government? >> so, first of all, the size of this package is unbelievable. it's breathtaking. we haven't seen anything like this in our life time. and then secondly, president biden and nancy pelosi are have lied to the american people about how they intend to pay for this massive spending. they talked about raising taxes only on the rich. we've said all along they would not be able to fund this by raising taxes in any way, but certainly not by those making, earning over $400,000. this budget shows th

blake?he president and the biden administration are trying to pay for at least in part for the american families plan by cracking down on tax cheats, trying to build up the irs and bring in more money to the federal government. the biden administration says that by building up irs reinforcement, that could bring in some $700 billion over the course of a decade. one of the ways that they are intending to do this is to have financial institutions report outflows and inflows as it relates to bank accounts. earlier today i asked the white house press secretary jen psaki about this. why the federal government should be able too monitor the inflows and outflows of bank accounts and secondly the treasury department is saying that those that make under $400,000 a year would not be audited more under this plan. so would it amount to a two-tiered audit system. this is part of her response. >> i would say that lower and middle income americans who are working hard getting their paychecks are not typica

first to blake burman on how the white house is playing this. blake? >> hi, neil over here at the white house, they're making a two-fold argument as it relates to the past month. it's one data point. they say don't look at one month in particular. instead, we should look at the past three months. the first three months under the biden administration, which they know have averaged 500,000 jobs more than that per month. that is one way that they are putting this. the second thing that they're pointing to is month over month job growth. the president said in his belief that it shows that the american rescue plan is working and the president continued to call for more spending. >> the american rescue plan is just that, a rescue plan. it's to get us back to where we were. but that's not nearly enough. we have to build back better. that's why we need the american jobs plan i proposed. >> neil, as you mentioned, the white house is facing questions about the $300 weekly federal unemployment benefit whether it's a hindrance to job growth. here's what the u.s. c

cheryl: blake burman from the white house, thank you.contributor liz peek joins me right now. all right, liz what is your reaction with the biden administration possibly going around congressional republicans to increase food stamps? >> mystery is, cheryl, he doesn't need to do that. as blake reported we have seen an increase in snap benefits until september. we saw $12 billion in food benefits increases. it is not clear why the biden administration feels they have to circumvent congress. not anyone decided that people on food stamps shouldn't have more relief during this very difficult time but i think it is just sort of one more indication that the biden administration cannot spend money fast enough and i think at some point you know, they're really just has to be a sort of reckoning of where we are on benefits, on taxes, and on spending in general because the trend is extremely damaging. i mean, we're now talking about trillions in proposed tax increases to offset even more trillions in increased spending. at some point this has to st

to blake burman live at the white house. blake, i kind of see both sides here. >> reporter: yeah. and there are, indeed, liz, both sides to this argument. and it was the white house who came out today and said, look, it was president biden who ended up making the final call on this to essentially say that the ip protections potentially should be opened up so that ore countries can -- other countries can get a look. here was the principal deputy press secretary explaining the new position from the u.s. aboard air force one just a little while ago. watch. >> if we go back to the campaign, the president supported this, the waiver, as you know. and the way that he talked about it then is as a humanitarian right. like, we need to lead on this issue and help save lives. >> reporter: you mentioned both sides. let's get into that, what does industry think. well, pharma, the association says the following in a statement, quote: this change in longstanding american policy will not save lives. it also flies in the face of president biden's stated policy of building up american infrastructure

could they soon be meeting in the middle somewhere, blake? reporter: potentially, liz. you know, we just heard from president biden moments ago. he was essentially pitching his economic vision. there's two plans out there that the president wants to see passed the american families plan at the core there is to pay for free community college which is why we saw the president at a community college speaking just a little while ago and then he also wants to pass the american jobs plan, which as you know, is that infrastructure package. the white house had come down to $1.7 trillion, senate republican s today unveiled their counter offer, they were in the $500 billion range, basically double that up to roughly $1 trillion. the white house described that earlier today as "encouraging" but still you can do the basic math there, 1 trillion, 1.7 trillion, there's a lot in the middle there, still left to be potentially hashed out. this will, talks will continue into next week as well as the president said earlier today, he will respond and the white house will respond to that re

i want to go to blake burman who is at the white house with the very latest. blake. watching president biden in lake charles, louisiana, just wrapped up remarks a little while ago as the president is pitching the american jobs plan. that is of course the infrastructure package that the president has proposed to be paid for by raising the corporate tax rate. this is the fourth state by the way that the president has traveled to since last thursday which he either pitched the jobs plan or the family as plan. that plan calls for raising taxes on the wealthy to pay for things like for community college and preschool for children. the white house says that the american families plan will spend $1.8 trillion over a decade and be fully paid for within 15 years. however, the new penn wharton budget model says something different. that projects the cost would be actually $2.5 trillion. the white house yesterday when asked about this, they quote, unquote, strongly disagree with the analysis. this afternoon as well the tax foundation also weighed in with its model on what the t

to the white house and blake burman live, blake, a lot of action at the white house. step liz be for the cdc to officially give the green light for 12 and 15-year-olds to use the pfizer vaccine, the expectation at this point is certainly this is what we're going to hear president biden talk about momentarily when he gets before the cameras. it'll be interesting as well to hear, liz, whether or not the president gets some sort of a read-out or sort of his take as to a pretty big event as well that happened earlier today, and that was the president and the vice president sitting down with the big four congressional leaders to talk about a potential way forward on infrastructure, anytime you ever have a scene like that on your screen in the oval office, you know it's a big deal. coming out afterwards, i asked the top two republican leaders how they see a way forward. remember, the administration wants a $2 trillion infrastructure package paid for by raising corporate taxes. republicans talk about a package a quarter of the size to be paid for bayouser fees, so i asked mi

blake essig is live in tokyo.se games can go forward? >> reporter: you know, laura, it seems with each passing day another new voice casts doubt regarding whether these games should be held. today is no different. a reuters survey just released found almost 70% of nearly 500 japanese companies want the games canceled or postponed. the reason is almost identical to what we've heard in the past from doctors groups and the general public in japan. there are legitimate concerns of increased infection and what could happen to an already strained medical system. even though the ioc has repeatedly said that they can deliver a safe and secure games it's hard to ignore the reality here on the ground. japan is still dealing with the fourth wave of infection, severe cases have once again hit a record high and hospitals in several free if he can tours including in tokyo are nearly out of bed space, in osaka the hospitals are beyond capacity with some people dying at home. currently less than 2% of japan's population are fully

i guess, blake? a miss, neil, as we know as it relates to the expectations coming in and the unemployment rate moving in the wrong direction, but over here at the white house they are really making a two- fold argument today. on the one hand they are saying don't really look at one month's worth of data instead you got to look at a few month's worth of data during the president's tenure here and when you look at the average of the last three months, it is over 500,000 jobs created, so they say things are moving in the right direction. they are also pointing to the $1.9 trillion american rescue plan. the president clearly signature legislation to-date. they say that the numbers today show that the rescue plan is working. listen here to the president. >> today's report makes clear. thank goodness we passed the american rescue plan. help is here, and more help is on the way, and more help is needed. reporter: but neil, as you know, there are also questions about the enhanced unemployment benefits that a

half life by reichardt�*s regular screenwriterjohn raymond, first cow opens with a quote from william blakeer, a web, man, friendship." you all right? there is indeed something rare and beautiful in the low—key depiction of cookie and king lu's alliance. a friendship between two men from different backgrounds, both outcast in their own way, quietly finding common purpose. no way for a poor man to stop. yet this terrific film is also about wider issues — the american dream, the birth of the international marketplace and the interplay between commerce and comradeship. special mention is due to cinematographer christopher blauvelt, who once again used the widescreen vistas that have come to typify america on screen, finding piercing beauty in more personalframings in which human features become part of the landscape, characters passing through the half—light of history. first cow is in uk cinemas now and will be available to stream exclusively on mubi from earlyjuly. screen legend michael caine once said that he signed up forjaws 4 because, along with paying for his new house, the film gave hi
