reporter: this week 11 of them including georgia republican party chairman david shaffer went to court asking a judge disqualify willis from the investigation. an attorney for giuliani refused to say what he told the grand jury, they were also learning that another trump attorney john eastman is going to have to show up here in georgia and appear about this grand jury, he was trying to quash the georgia subpoena but a judge today said even if you believe you might be a target of this investigation, you still have to show up, you can invoke your fifth amendment rights but you have to be there. >> sara murray, thanks so much. for more on the latest in the trump investigations, i want to bring in jessica schneider and also athena jones who is in manchester where mike pence spoke today. trump's team are on the clock. they have to tell a judge by 9:00 a.m. tomorrow whether they support unsealing the mar-a-lago affidavit which would explain in detail why that raid took place. how does that factor into the judge's decision do you think? >> the judge will be able to get a look at the trump team's legal arguments once they sub

. >> reporter: this week 11 of them including david shaffer went to court asking a judge to disqualify willis from the investigation. we asked rudy giuliani's attorney what he was asked about during his wednesday appearance and what questions he actually answered. his attorney declined to comment saying that he would respect the secrecy of the grand jury process. sara murray, cnn, atlanta. >>> and let's bring in washington correspondent for the atlanta journal constitution. nice to see you, thank you for joining us. six hours, full day before a grand jury for giuliani wednesday. he left without speaking to reporters. what do we know about what happened and do you think because he is a target that changes how he might have answered some of the questions? >> if anything, i think by being a target, not just a witness, probably the grand jury probably got an even more cautious giuliani even less willing to answer their questions and quite frankly, even before he became -- even before it was known that he was a target of the investigation, he had basically floated or kind of indicated he was thnot

also, i just wanted to start off today, willie, and we'll take it around the table here. we've got david ignatius, michael steel, and katty kay. first, willie, yesterday, i talked about how the republicans were putting targets on the backs of irs agents. lying about what supposedly is in this bill that just became law. and they are all lies. and then that, of course, goes on top of what happened with fbi agents. fbi worried about unprecedented threats. as i was saying that yesterday, i have a good friend who is an election official. a republican his whole life. i don't think he's ever voted for a democratic presidential candidate in his life. immediately texted me during the show. he goes, "hey, what about election officials?" we're getting death threats if we don't buy into conspiracy theories. three election officials said, "enough, we're tired for the death threats. we didn't sign up for this. we're quitting." it is not an overstatement to say that the republican party is putting in danger the lives of many great americans who just want to serve their government. these lies especially

goalpost which he needed to pivot to cash flow, and instead of the willy-nilly revenues and that got the stockton run to go up. david about teleco for a second. that yield is on the outside. >> verizon has always had a significant yield for years,an the dividend obviously in the shareholder population cares about that. >> the yield is the cause of what i would not say that scott sheffield is the pioneer, but the scotts are to decline and increase the dividends, but could this be t-mobile, and mike seibert here, and would you not switch to t-mobile if the networks were the same >> don't forget, yeah, don't forget that the nsbo that they had would help charter. >> that is interesting. >> and they are using their own network, and anybody who is watching any sports, and charter adds incessantly like we do in new york, where spectrum is the product. >> they are off of the spectrum. >> and competing with verizon very well, and using their own network to do it. and now, as well, t-mobile is competing with charter and comcast as well as disconnecting with broadband and using a fixed wireless product where it can be used by

. >> willie, as we approach the advent of fall and soon to be winter, and as david pointed out, thisaine's increased sufficiency in weapon and increased use of weaponry, my question is down the road, the target has been odesa and will be, but what point do russians say, well, winter is coming. we can jack up europe with the increased energy prices, but we have to go for odesa now. we have to get odesa before winter sets in? >> mike, i think both sides have been thinking they need to make progress before the winter freeze, if you will. the russians would like to consolidate the areas that they've advanced on. they've had very slow progress, really since they went back on the offensive after their disastrous campaign to take kyiv. the ukrainians felt in august and september, they needed to show progress to their own people and to their allies in europe, in being able to push russians back. it is a different kind of war. ukrainians' success has been, in part, they're on the defensive. now, they're on the offensive. they need new weapons. we've been sending new and different weapons that

i'll agree with george, barbara, and david, and i've said it on this program before, fani willis and fulton county needs to be the number one priority for the trump legal team as they sort out what's in front of them. the reason i say that is because of all of the things that are -- they're facing. that's the one that is going to be hardest to kick down the road. when you look at the investigation that is occurring out of the new york attorney general's office with letitia james, they're going to be able to fight that in a way that pushes that further and further down the road, which is ultimately his plan. he didn't give anything during his deposition. he pled the fifth 400 times, as you already said, and that is a means of trying to get that office to, number one, make a decision. are you going to sue me, or are you going to look for a settlement? either way, it pushes it further and further out. we know that with respect to merrick garland and the doj, those investigations are slow moving and they're meticulous and methodical and strategic. that all takes time. so when you're thin

david french -- >> what a wonderful way to end the week. >> -- it's wonderful, thank you so much. and your piece is online for "the atlantic." mika, i know willieudience, deeply moved by your words about your mom. thank you so much for sharing those with us. >> thank you. yeah, i'm filled with gratitude. so thank you very much. that does it for us this morning and this week. jose diaz ba lard picks up did coverage right now. >> i'm live from las vegas at the national association of black and hispanic journalist convention. we begin this morning with breaking news, a brand new much better than expected jobs report, showing the economy added over half a million jobs in july, 528,000. the u.s. labor secretary marty walsh, will join us to discuss the state of the economy. on capitol hill, a bill that could have major implications across the country as democrats have cleared a path for sweeping legislation now that senator kyrsten sinema has agreed to the deal. california center alex padilla will discuss where this goes next. china sanctions nancy pelosi over her visit to taiwan.

adjusting to it a little bit better when it comes to willy-nilly hiking interest rates for as long and as far as the eye can see. scott martin is here, davidth of you. scott, let me begin with you on what the markets are trying to pull off today. if they can avoid even more selling, that might say that maybe they overreacted. but if they can't, you could read into that that, you know, it was just a bear market rally. how do you feel about this? >> i agree. i think a rally today as we've kind of seen already, neil, but into the positive would be huge. this market changes its mood day by day, to say we get a rally today and a selloff tomorrow is anybody's guess. i think what's changed is let's say chairman powell doesn't want to sing us a song like the by january mow man did -- piano man did. maybe that pivot coming, maybe recognizing -- which i think he'd be blind not to see it if the data was coming in softer, which it is. maybe recognizing inflation is bound to peak, if not now, has peaked already. market is dealing with changeable pattern in the fed. it is to worried, certainly, and i think it should be, about more rate hikes than needed

david: carol we have peter maur ici on in the first hour, he said they should call it the stagflation impact, but finally this thing that gerri willis and losers, that is to focus, to put the finger on certain corporations that she thinks should be paying more, i mean, that, first of all i don't see how it passed the muster with our parliamentarian, but that's not part of reconciliation. that's a whole new bill that has to be voted on, right? >> i mean, this is what government has been doing for years and years now, at every level whether it's the federal or the state or the local. they have been picking winners and losers. they did that in covid. they do that during their money give-away. that is all they are continuing to do because that's how they maintain and consolidate their power so i'm glad gerri was able to dig in and highlight that, but unfortunately, unless we get everybody to pushback and say that's not okay, we're just going to get more of this from the government. david: well people were pushing back but it didn't seem to change the vote. go ahead, jonathan. >> still quickly, david, obama tried this as well. corporate

david ignatius, a good friend of your dad's that is on here also. amiral stavridis also here. as well as things turning around in ukraine. >> yeah. >> it's pretty extraordinary. but, you know, willie, there's a time in a game, a basketball game, you can just see it on the court happening. football game. soccer. and in politics. i've always noticed it in politics. i'm sure you have, too. where a momentum shifts in a very significant way. and, again, we're still -- we're still a long way off until the election. i'm not saying that republicans aren't going to have a historic year. they should. but last night was joe biden and the democratic party off their heels for the first time, i think, since 2020. and actually leaning in. going on the offensive. telling republicans, joe biden saying, not only am i not for defunding the police, i'm not for defunding the fbi. and the words that will break through to independents who are looking at this maga republican party. and understanding they're so disconnected from the most basic of american values when it comes to patriotism. whether it's january 6th or threatening the lives of law enforcement officers and their families, for just carrying
