melanie: aguilar is not alone. a bank of america report found gen z women are saving less than their male peers. according to an institute 2021 report, compared to white women, black and hispanic women are more likely to face economic challenges that depress their financial well-being. they are also more likely to engage in costly borrowing behavior including making only the minimum payment on their credit card. something i gillard says her parents taught her not to do. still, she says, she wished she knew more. >> when i got to college, i took an econ class. my male counterparts would mention stock market and they would talk about their investments. i think i was still quite lost even in my sophomore, junior year. even today, i think i don't have as great of an understanding as i would like to. i think i would have benefited a lot had i been taught a little bit more financial literacy. melanie: group to -- she experienced similar challenges. >> i watched my mother in particular struggle with the u.s. financial sys

melanie: do you have anything to add? i think it is really interesting what you say any time he said allies, he said allies and partners. throughout these documents i have come across allies, consultations, it is heavily laden. bob: it is always there. amy: that said, the united states is leaning into these many laterals and increasingly relying on partnerships to achieve its security and i think the language is reflecting it. it is an expansive view of what it means to be friendly with the united states. melanie: i will like that some of the expansion and sensibilities that go with that in terms of obligations can start to make me a little bit uncomfortable and nervous if we have those kinds of relationships. bob: biden made that distinction clearly on ukraine. it was clear from the beginning that biden was saying, we have no obligation to protect ukraine. the ukraine sovereignty is important to us and that is why we are going to provide massive support to help it defend itself. but we have no obligation. a few weeks lat

to that point melanie zanona still with us on capitol hill. melanie, we know president biden in his conversation with speaker pelosi encouraged her to stay. and you could certainly understand that. again, she helped shepherd his agenda through the house with a very narrow majority. you can always trust her math. and you always want her judgment and her opinion. i understand you have some reporting that the leader across the aisle in the congress also said maybe you should stay. >> yeah. that's exactly right. senate democratic leader chuck schumer, he was in the audience, he was on the floor for this historic speech, and he told our colleagues walking off the floor that he wanted her to stay and that when he heard the news he told her as much. it's the same thing biden apparently told pelosi as well. this has been a sentiment across the democratic caucus, especially after the strong midterm showing that democrats had, was that she could have stayed around if she wanted to and she could have made a run to continue to lead the democratic caucus.

the evidence shows that she picked up melanie and forcefully held her against

melanie, stay with us.o joining us, annie carnegie, congressional correspondent for "the new york times," as we continue to dig in here, nice to see you this morning. what we're waiting for here, cnn has learned that there were two versions of a speech that the house speaker had. she brought both home with her last night. we don't know what she's going to say, but as we wait, there is both the impact of the attack on her husband, paul, which she told our own anderson cooper would impact her decision, but didn't get much more specific than that. the impact of the outcome of the midterms and also this push which we've talked about for some time from younger members of the caucus, and there was that informal agreement in 2018 about passing the torch, although rules weren't rewritten. based on all of that, is there a sense yet this morning as to which way she's leaning? >> what i'm hearing is that over the past few days, she's really been reviewing her options. and i don't think that informal 2018 agreement whe

melanie doesn't just want to learn their secrets, she's devoted her life to protecting them.nient way of giving them a checkup. and she's made a shocking discovery. discovery. >> there are no heavy industries around here but deadly chemicals are spread around the world by winds and ocean currents. melanie's groundbreaking research is in its early stages, but she's very worried. >> when it comes to pollution, the condor is patagonia's canary in a coal mine. melanie hopes her painstaking research will raise the alarm and that industries and governments will take notice and start cleaning up their act. as we fly even higher into the an andes, the air thins and the temperature drops. patagonia is transformed into a world of ice. almost 90% of all the glaciers ins a ha s a can be found here. few creatures can survive on these barren rivers of ice. but one remarkable animal thrives on them. and biologist es a y morris is here to find it. he's come glacier in the andes, trying to track down one of patagonia's toughest creatures. es a works with a professional glacier guide. this cre

melanie, you testified, you have written about your experience, what you witnessed as well. d.c. attorney general. i read that when you heard about this suit you cried. what do you think this will ach achieve? >> well, i think it's a huge step in the direction to full transparency. there are still many ongoing investigations as you know so we are just hopeful that more jurisdictions will come in, look at the evidence and really all we've asked for from the beginning is transparency and accountability and that's what we're hoping for. >> the commanders released a statement calling this an offbeat legal theory. the ag is claiming that the team misled fans, the consumers in this case by covering up this toxic workplace environment. the real is we know that nfl fans have seen and heard about a lot over the years and they still show up, they still watch on tv, they still buy tickets. do you think this is the best way to hold the team accountable? >> it certainly is one way to hold the team accountable and what the ag and d.c. did was used the law that they have available and that

we've got that breaking news from melanie.t comes as some of trump's allies are turning on him. so they've got the house, narrowly but they got it. and the "new york post" today on trump, once a trump megaphone, buried the announcement of his presidential run. and the headline was "been there, don that." and just in case you're unclear what that means, in the article they label him a florida retiree with a classified documents library. clear where they stand. trump's former secretary of state and potential 2024 gop primary contender, mike pompeo is now turning on trump. here's what he tweeted. quote, we need more seriousness, less noise, and leaders who are looking forward, not staring in the rear-view mirror claiming victimhood, which trump did last night talking about the 2020 election. and blacktone's cnn donated $33.5 million to republicans in 2020 including trump. he tells cnn that instead he will support, quote, one of the new generation leaders in the republican party and that he's going to pick someone else to sponsor

melanie for us in washington. barron lopez is a correspondent for pbs news hour. good to see you. melanie just went through anyhow realistic any of this action on an assault weapons ban on any of this is. is there any investment from the white house beyond a statement here, a speech there, remark outside of a firehouse? >> well, that's a really good question, victor because the president has long called for congress to pass an assault weapons ban, essentially since he ran for the presidency, and he has repeated it after each mass shooting that has occurred while he's been president, but there's a big difference between calling for it and also as he said, recently saying he was going to try to count votes and make a push for it. how much muscle the white house puts behind this in the lame duck is something that remains to be seen. again though, to melanie's point, i -- the votes aren't really there. even though there are senators like senator joe manchin, a centrist democrat who has expressed support for an assault

for more let's bring in capitol hill reporter melanie. mitch mcconnell was hoping to become the majority leader after the midterms. now he's facing new dissension within the ranks as he maneuvers to try to hold on to the minority leadership role. >> yes, that's right. house and senate republicans are bracing for some really tense meetings this week as they return to washington for the first time since the disappointing election results and they're going to be grappling with what went wrong and who do we need to elect as our future leaders. in the senate based on reporting, mitch mcconnell does have the support to become the leader again of his party. he only needs to get a simple majority. you are right to point out he is facing dissension in his ranks. there is a small but vocal group of lawmakers who are pushing to delay the internal leadership elections this week. there's also at least one republican, josh holley who said he will oppose for gop leader. what's playing out behind the scenes is a blame game. you are seeing some try to poi

tonight we hear from paxton smith and melanie salazar, who have very different positions on abortion.a listen. >> the reason why i care about having access to abortion is because if somebody else is deciding if and when i have children, it takes a lot of control of my life out of my hands, and the abortion procedure intentionally kills the life of a pre-born human. that should never be our answer to any situation, let's just kill somebody. >> i do not agree with the statement that abortion is murder. the reality is that abortion is an essential form of maternal health care. it is. >> i'm a survivor of child sexual abuse, and so i have experienced what it feels like to not have people be a voice for me, and i think about the pre-born, and i think i have to be there voice. i have to there advocate, because if not me, then who? >> about a week and a half before graduation, i decided that i wanted to speak on the texas abortion ban instead. it feels wrong to talk about anything but what is currently affecting me and millions of other women in this state. i wanted to show people the realit

. >> cnn's melanie zanona is up on capitol hill with more. what has a realistic chance of getting done, especially considering that we have to keep the government you open, you don't want a shutdown and also you have the debt ceiling looming? >> reporter: you can really think about it in terms of two ducts buckets, there is the must pass items and wish list items. must pass items, government funding, if congress doesn't fund the government by december 16th there will be a shutdown which no one wants. there is already talk of needing to give themselves a one week extension to get this done. white house is pushing for covid aid, ukraine funding, but we are expecting to pass. also in the must pass item bucket is an annual defense policy bill. that's something that congress has passed every single year so we are expecting that to pass, it's bipartisan. they just need to finish up their work on that. moving over to the wish list items, top of the list is a bill to protect same-sex marriage, already moving through the senate, we are expecting to pa

by the way, melanie, thank you very much. we a prppreciate it. >> thanks, melanie. >>> now let's go to wisconsin. polls open there at 8 a.m. where republican senator ron johnson is launched in a tight race against mandela barnes. last night johnson made it clear if he wins a third term and republicans take the senate, he will be very busy. he will have a powerful role investigating his political rivals. let's listen to this. >> if we get the majority, where we get it, i would be chairman of the subcommittee on investigations. i'll be like a mosquito in a nudist colony. it will be a target rich environment. >> we are live in appleton, wisconsin. again, he would have a very powerful position on this subcommittee. i think it speaks to the question people have about what would the priorities be of a republican-controlled senate. >> well, poppy, it definitely gets at the wider implications of all of the wider rates if republicans take control of the senate. polls have shown no clear leader between ron johnson and mandela barnes. i

melanie is in texas with more. what is mccarthy saying now?reporter: well, i pressed mccarthy on what are his plans for addressing the issues that have become so central in republican's pitch to voters. and he said they're going to try to tackle inflation and crime and border and providing for brants to police officers and reinstituting the remain in mexico policy and making america nor energy independent. but most of the bills are going to be messaging endeavors because they could not over come the president's veto or the 60 vote threshold. and he will have to deal with raising the nation's borrowing limit. he told me that republicans are going to demand spending cuts in exchange for lifting the debt ceiling. risking a very potential disastrous fiscal showdown. take a listen. >> the view that i give a person a higher limit, wouldn't you first say you should change your behavior so you don't keep raising it all of the time. i think we need to look at where the waste and fraud and abuse. washington has so much wasteful spunding and we could cur

melanie zanona, thank you. and we have new cnn reporting uncovering that long before the house republican majority came into view biden's white house started preparing for an expected onslaught of gop probes. let's go live to cnn's jeremy diamond now. and jeremy, what are we learning about the administration's approach? >> well, listen, ana, this has been by far one of the most aggressive and earliest efforts by a white house ahead of a midterm elections to prepare for the onslaught of investigations by the opposition party. and listen, even as president biden was campaigning over the summer to try and save that house democratic majority a small team of officials here at the white house, legislative affairs specialists, lawyers, as well as communications strategists have all been preparing, mapping out where these gop investigative targets might lead and also preparing the response and the strategy behind how the white house is going to handle those. they've been listening very closely to congressman jim jordan

cnn's melanie zanona on capitol hill this morning. melanie, you read this letter. what are the targets? >> reporter: republicans are ready to hit the ground running with their investigative plans if they take back the house. they have been laying the groundwork for those investigative priorities for months. that includes yesterday when jim jordan sent these letters to a number of biden agencies requesting documents and other information. to the faib jordan is seeking information about the search warrant on trump's residence in florida, mar-a-lago. to the doj they're seeking information about the probe into project veritas. that is a conservative group known for its undercover sting operations and also seeking information about the agency's enforcement of an access to abortions clinic law. i want to read you a quick key line. jordan writes that committee republicans intend to continue to examine these matters including into the 118th congress if necessary. clearly they are putting these agencies on notice and making crystal clear that republicans plan to use their s

melanie sat down with kevin mccarthy on the campaign trail.hat did he tell you about what a republican majority was going to look like, what their plans are if they do win the house tomorrow? >> reporter: i met up with the house minority leader here on the texas border where he is rallying for a number of hispanic republican women candidates. and i started by asking him why he chose to be here in the closing days of the campaign. >> i could be anywhere in the country right now. but when you think about it, these are very competitive races. maya flores, which shocked the world, no one thought she could win the seat and won it in the primary. competitive race. she's the first mexican-born woman elected to congress. monica de la cruz, came so close last time. and casey garcia, what a trio of three ladies that are remarkable. we want to give them all the support they can. they represent the district well and you see a change in demographics. when maya won her district was 84% hispanic and shows republicans can compete anywhere in the country. not

melanie zanona joins us live from capitol hill.e the one who talked to him, you interviewed him last week. how confident is he? >> reporter: not as confident as he was last week, poppy, i can tell you that. look, he is going to win the nomination for his party's speakership today. he only needs a simple majority for that vote. the real test is going to come in january because that's when he needs a majority of the entire house. and as we first reported on cnn, congressman andy biggs is preparing to mount a challenge to him later today. and that is not a serious challenge, that is just the antimccarthy vote, but there could be a significant number of republicans who are in that camp. take a listen to what congressman matt gaetz told us yesterday. >> this is very premature. there is precisely one moment in time when there is a vote to determine who the speaker will be. that is on january 3rd, and i think we'll have far better options than kevin mccarthy. i think you'll see a critical mass say we want to turn the page. we want new lea

melanie, tell us about the vote here. >> it's a rare show of bipartisanship. gaining ever since this summer when roe v. wade was overturned and same-sex marriage may be under threat. it would require states to require legal marriages from other states. it would protect same-sex marriages and interracial marriages. democrats have worked behind the scenes with republicans. dave agreed to make changes in hopes that if there were political pressures that it would be alleviated after the midterms. it appears to pay off that the senate voted with a dozen republicans. it is historic and now heads to the house where we expect the big bipartisan vote with 47 republicans that voted on and earlier resolution this summer. the vote is expected next tuesday and then it heads to president joe biden's desk. >> thank you so much for taking us through that. what does this mean for same- sex couples? what will it leave wanting? >> it's a mixed bag. you speak to somebody in the lgbt committee. this bill, as melanie talked about, it doesn't guarantee the right, across the country
