is this remind you of doug jones and roy moore? bit too euphemistic, generous, and given the sort of hypocrisy on display potentially in this latest herschel walker scandal -- but doug jones won that but alabama senate seat by the hair of his cheney chin. -- he barely won. it certainly has had an impact in that race, anyway. there is that story that roy moore would have been well positioned there. again, i think we are talking about impact here. if there is impact in the story, my guess is it would be minimal, a pointer to. but like i am saying, given that he is not brian kemp -- he's not seven points ahead of raphael warnock right now, he's running a point behind. one or two points, if you are herschel walker, is absolutely critical. >> literally every vote matters in the state of georgia. every vote matters period, but especially at that moment. in that state. steve kornacki, msnbc national political correspondent. it's great to see. up next, brand new justice ketanji brown jackson. supreme court justice. she schools up an alabam

his democratic opponent doug jones had not led in any of the polls at that point, and he was suddenlyp eight points in one pole and in another up three. jones won, and that was in alabama. let's hear from paul in kentucky, does a political candidate's character factor into your vote? caller: at one time it would, but the press and the democrats have gone insane, both corrupt as hell. they will lie, cheat, do anything. failed to mention that warnock tried to run over his wife, tried to kill his wife. he made jokes about playing with a little girl when he was 30 years old and she was 12. he is a pedophile. host: so what changed in your mind, besides from the media coverage? caller: because the media and democrats are one in the same, no difference. washington post is nothing but a democratic greg. -- rag. just like c-span is. you talk about the president we cut, playing with the little 12-year-old girl when he is 30. host: like candidate walker, those are allegations. tony in florida, democrats line. hello. caller: yes, sir. herschel walker is just like trump. the hypocrisy of the corru

doug jones with that and what it might mean for this movement that was born, the whole covid thing being the most dynamic part of the economy is people figuring out the exact relationship of employer to job to company to outsourcing is because all those things are very much influx. every single one of the fang stocks had employee problems. everyone is trying to figure it out. tech companies are using the opportunity to trim and at the same time everyone looking and saying if you are not here, how much are you really my employee and maybe i can contract this out, there is no part of our world that was so important to our world that is changing like this is changing right now. neil: there are still 10 million jobs available, statistics we get out of another week or so might update that and millions of jobs that are not being filled. >> i think this is not 2008 and we are not teetering on the verge of a giant recession. i think talent is in demand. i know in the technology world and software world where we live there has been a retrenchment at a pause and a different capital market but the

doug jones joins us, good political read. e may be different of the senate level, gubernatorial level versus the presidential level. but something's going on here were so many candidates pass up the chance or don't do as many. what you make of it? >> i think a couple of things. first come over so polarized as a nation there are fewer swing voters than there were before, fewer persuadable. it's more about getting your foot out than persuading. and because candidates really do not have the ability to agree on anything, they would just yell at each other, both sides and most debate see more downside as you and mark meadows were suggesting then upside. >> let me ask you, doug, your take on where this stands that. right now some of these races are very close. it still seems with these power rankings we put out that republicans have a good chance of taking the house, odds are better than it they were a few weeks ago. senate appears to be a jump ball but some pollsters say republicans could pull that up as well, that herschel walker

>> you have to keep that in mind, if doug jones did win in that december 2017 race and he barely did.w, certainly had an impact on that race, without that story that roy moore would have been well positioned there. but again, i think we're talking about impact here, if there is impact from the story. my guess is it would be minimal, a point or two but i'm saying, he's not brian kemp. he's not running seven points ahead of warnock right now. he's running a point behind warnock. one or two points for walker is critical. >> literally, every vote matters in the state of georgia. every vote matters but particularly in that state, steve kornacki, national correspondent, my friend, good to see you. >> you, too. >>> up next tonight, brand-new justice, ketanji brown jackson, supreme court justice. she schools alabama solicitor general, as the court takes up the challenge that could gut the voting rights act. we will be right back. ♪ ♪ away suitcases come in many colors. so you can find your color. colors. choices. happiness. away. ♪ ♪ we planned well for retirement, but i wish we had more cash

republican in alabama lost to doug jones at the last minute, and herschel walker's son saying mid dadk herschel walker's a talented guy, he's obviously somebody who, you know, was an epic sports hero for the people of georgia and fans across the country, but i also think he's someone who was an outsider who necessary never won or run statewide before, and that really turns out to be historically a defect. so it's a real coin flip, i think, at this point when it comes to the georgia seat. kennedy: well, we'll see what happens in the next couple weeks. some polls have them a point apart, some have walker up by a point. we will see. arizona, blake masters, you know, again, one of those candidates that was trump-endorsed, and a lot of people wrote him off because he was so far behind mark kelly. how has he come within three percentage points? >> well, mark kelly is, unlike kyrsten sinema the other senator from arizona, someone who's really been a lockstep democrat vote when it comes to all of these leftist policies. he's not someone who has charted his own path or been an independent voic

wade is settled law, now they didn't say doug jones was on my podcast, theax files podcast this weekendk people heard what they wanted to hear. just because it was settled law didn't mean they weren't going to overturn it, but the implication is it's settled law. when you're there to just rule on the law and this is not a political process, then don't act in political ways. >> you only think it's political because it didn't come out the way you wanted. >> no, that's not true. >> the court is not static. it changes. people go on, people go off. and today it's a conservative court. it hasn't always been. >> you know something that precedent stood for 50 years, roe v. wade. that means something. that has become part of the fabric of our understanding of the law on this issue. settled law means something. it's not just a phrase. it means something. so there's societal implications to these decisions, and i think that's what people. in the 1930s -- i'm not saying you were there. you're a student of history but you remember the '30s, the court in the '30s that basically rejected all the eleme

the ceo of doug jones, is a turnaround sale of the company likely? nonviable. come from new york. this is bloomberg. lisa: keeping you up-to-date with news around the world with the first word, i met lisa mateo. the price of oil is holding steady a day after opec-plus agreed to the biggest production cut in 2020 -- since 2020. it will be more than 2 million barrels. that is with a view from the u.s., seeking more oil from producers. russia repeated the warning it will not sell crude to any country that adopts this price cap. north korea ramping up tensions, firing twoth u.s. carrier the ud reagan has been deployed. they launched their first rocket over japan in five years today -- this week. they're focused on waters east of the peninsula. a new study shows millions more britain's will be dragged into a higher tax bracket over the next three years and i will cost twice as much as prime minister liz truss' tax cuts. the government is reducing the rate of income tax but is also freezing the threshold where people start paying and that will force them into higher

>> during that race with doug jones and roy moore, we were doing independent stuff and we were able to split off republican women in particular from him just because of the disgusting, unacceptable nature of what he was and did. i don't know that that number is not out there still. it takes a lot more shock and awe now, because there are still plenty of republicans who are going to say, well, if it's not walker who is imperfect, i'm going to have pick the socialist cannibal whatever. they make up this catalog of imaginary demons in their head about what the democrats are. they use it justify a lot of their choices. look, herschel walker is right now -- fox news is running a full-time defense of herschel walker. i don't think it's helping. as you pointed out at the top of the show, these hits keep coming. this is not over yet. his continued denials will extend the story. eventually, you run out of time. this campaign, you never get a day back in a campaign. you can do other things, but you will never get another day added to the calendar. i think walker is in deep trouble. i think repub

wide-ranging as the jones act, any factory jobs, inflation, antitrust policy, the minimum wage and several others. each post was critically written and dripping with insights, making doug a must read for policy walks and legislators across the political spectrum. doug has an extremely long pedigree. he was an academic at columbia university and then syracuse. he has served in a variety of influential policy positions. between 2001 and 2002, he was the chief economist of the president's counsel to economic advisors, he was the sixth director of the congressional budget office, providing budgetary and policy analysis to the u.s. congress. during 2007 and 2008, he was director of domestic and economic policy for the john mccain presidential campaign. after a roll with a federal commission, he was then founding the american action form that describes itself as a center-right think tank on economic and fiscal policy issues. it is difficult to think of anyone as plugged into economics and politics and i was deeply impressed with his insights when i first saw him speak at phelps's annual conference at columbia on the dangers of socialism. i was on a panel that day alongside l
