the president delaying his trip to meet with the pope so that he could meet with house democrats and try to rally them to support the compromise. >> no one got everything they wanted, including me, but that's what compromise is i know it's hard i know how deeply people feel about the things that they fight for, but this framework includes historic investments in our nation and in our people >> so here's what's out, paid family leave, free community college, a measure to lower prescription drug prices and expanded medicare dental and vision coverage. here's what's still in universal pre-k, care for the elderly and expanded child taxsn care credit for next year, and clean energy credits, including tax credits fo solar energy and electric cars, but it's turning out to be a hard sell for progressive democrats who are locked in a standoff with moderate senators and are threatening to tank the bipartisan infrastructure bill cnbc senior congressional correspondent ylan mui from the house tonight. where do things stand?

>> reporter: well, kelly, the house will not vote tonight on that bipartisan infrastructure bill, leaving the president's agenda in limbo as he head to the g-20 and to the climate summit and both the president and house speaker nancy pelosi have been hoping that the new framework would mollify progressives who have been unwilling to vote for the infrastructure bill unless they had a guarantee that the reconciliation bill would be law as well today. >> i cannot sit back when i think we had this in our grasp i keep thinking about we're supposed to trust, our trust has to be in two senators that have not, in my opinion, been good faith actors up until this point. >> reporter: on capitol hill, president biden expressed confidence that he could get all 50 senators to back his

plan but we've yet to hear that directly from the two lawmakers at the center of all of this, joe manchin and kyrsten sinema now joe manchin indicated he is okay with the new price tag of $1.75 trillion, and he is willing to negotiate in good faith, but that the next step is really up to the house meanwhile, sinema insisted or issued this statement. we have made significant progress on the proposed budget reconciliation package i look forward to getting this done now, that's not quite a yes but it's not exactly a no. sinema did meet with the head of the house progressive caucus jayapal this afternoon both said they had a good discussion but the bottom line is democrats at this moment do not have the votes to pass either bill in either chamber. kelly, this is the same thing that happened to the president the last time he came to capitol hill a month ago, so we're now on strike two. >> tonight the house did manage to vote on something, but what happened with this funding for transportation >> reporter: well, kelly, congress did what it does best which is kick the can down the road the house is essentially voting to keep funding for highway transportation projects at their

were called political. tom winter now with the latest now on the charges filed today tom? >> reporter: kelly, good evening. the allegations we've heard before they were raised in the attorney general's report which went to approximately 160 pages earlier this summer detailing a whole host of allegations, and as you said allegations that the governor has previously denied, but this one in particular struck out because a woman came forward named brittany komiseau who talked to cbs news and alleged the very same type of behavior that's included in today's criminal complaint the criminal complaint does not name the victim and attempts to reach the woman and her attorneys have not been successful, so we don't know whether or not she is in fact the victim that is referred to in this criminal complaint, but it does involve an incident, according to the documents of the governor's mansion, where he allegedly put his hand under her shirt and grabbed her breasteree according to this criminal complaint, they say that on top of information that they have learned, on top of statements that they have

received, they have also reviewed cell phone records, believe it or not, blackberry p.i.n. messages if you can remember those shared among the new york state police as well as the new york state police travel records, specifically his plane travel records and other various types of information that they have obtained in the course of this investigation by the albany county sheriff's office. it was not a case brought by the district attorney, but it was brought by the sheriff's office, and the next step for governor cuomo, who has denied all of these allegations and has called it political, is to be in court on november the 17th at 2:30 p.m. that's the next time we'll see him and he'll have to answer for those charges then kelly. >> blackberry p.i.n. messages, brings back memories tom, thank you nbc's tom winter. one of america's strictest vaccine mandates set to take effect tomorrow in new york city cops, firefighters and most other city workers must show proof of at least one covid vaccine dose or risk losing their jobs there's no option for weekly testing. city officials say if workers don't comply they will be put on unpaid leave starting next week.

at the start of the pandemic now he says they are being treated as second class citizens. >> we're not treated like a human being. we're treated like a number on a spreadsheet. everybody has their own personal choices, and the city is not giving us time to give them the information and to discuss that with their family, their spouse, to make those decisions. >> reporter: the mayor says despite the pushback, there is no plan to delay the date for when this mandate will go into effect, again that's 5:00 p.m. tomorrow he says he's reassured that city agencies like the fdny will find a way to make up for lost resources if they need to. >> they have already talked about the fact that they have a variety of tools available, mandatory overtime, scheduling changes. there's other -- other options that they can turn to to address the situation. >> reporter: and the nypd is expected to make similar adjustments if needed.

it allows them to do, that's a different story. >> i would like to go to the water park i would like to go everywhere. >> going to where? >> chuck-e-cheese. >> the park. >> reporter: many parents say they want the vaccine for their kid right away so doctor's offices are getting ready. >> this is going to be all hands on deck, and it's going to be on the weekends and we're going to be, you know, running it similar to a flu clinic. >> the biden administration says there's enough supply for all 28 million kids in this age group, two doses each about 15 million are expected to be shipped right away according to the association of immunization managers, 10 million to states and jurisdictions and 5 million to pharmacies in maine, a key strategy is working with schools to help set up clinics. >> we're trying to get as many kids vaccinated as quickly as possible, principally so they can have a somewhat more normal winter holiday and that they can hug their grandparents without fear and so that the second half of the school year looks a lot

more like 2019 than 2020. >> reporter: and doctors everywhere are answering questions from parents about the benefits of the vaccine and the risks, including the rare cases of heart inflammation seen mainly in young men. >> this rare side effect, which is real, is still less of a concern than what the virus will do. >> reporter: as for the kids, the ones we talked to are ready. >> vaccines are very important, you should get them. >> just a little shot for a little bit, but the sickness is gone forever >> reporter: that little girl just cracks me up. one of the things parents told us they were most looking forward to was getting some normalcy back for the upcoming holiday season kelly? >> what about those of us whose oldest kids might be 3 years old? there's 2-year-olds, 1-year-olds, infants, what's the timeline, if any, for this

group? >> i know. pfizer starting to talk abou end of this year for getting the data for the kids. >> and at the same time we have data showing an anti-depressant now may lower the risk of covid hospitalization. at least on that front we're seeing as much progress and treatment as possible. what can you tell us about that? >> reporter: yeah. this was a really interesting study out of brazil of about 1,500 people they find that a drug, an inexpensive drug, $4 per course, so it's especially exciting for access experts pointed out that more work may need to be done to find the correct dose and more studies are under way here in the u.s. as well, which could help with that it's thought that the drug may help by tamping down inflammation that could cause problems with covid. >> surprising but if it works, it works meg, thank you so much good to see you tonight. officials say he beat hi girlfriend's son to death and left the body to rot for a year.

particular case is such a gross deviation from what we expect humans to behave like, that it's been very emotionally difficul and taxing on the investigators, the d.a.'s office and the priorities should be making sure that the surviving children get all of the help that they need. >> reporter: now something else to note in this case the presiding judge, judge morton, recused himself this morning. instead, kelly johnson filling in now this means that this case will now be transferred to a new court and will likely impact gloria williams' court hearing date she was supposed to appear tomorrow morning at 9:00, but the district attorney's office tells us this will likely be pushed back until next week. >> i can't imagine having to work on a case like that that was brittany jeffers reporting from kprc in houston. the john doe hockey player who accused a former chicago blackhawks coach has identified himself. kyle beach, he was called up

seems like nothing is safe from the supply chain crisis, your groceries, your kids' toys and now your music, at least if you're into vinyl. demand for vinyl records has been soaring during the past few years to the point that there's now had a shortage to deal with the global shipping issues, some record labels are trying to keep everything made in america, but that's putting a massive strain on the industry here's cnbc's perry rossum. >> reporter: in a garage in vermont between record-covered walls, the machines have been running non-stop. >> we've been turning work down for at least a soiled four months now. >> reporter: justin is the owner of burlington record plant he says his customers have started doubling, tripling even quadrupling their orders. >> in the beginning, we would get, you know, an order a day and now in the past three or four weeks i've turned down literally over 4 million records worth of orders. >> reporter: the recording

industry association o america reports that vinyl is having a remarkable resurgence revenue from the first half of this year grew 94% to $467 million the boom is leaving manufacturers backed up, delaying the shipment of albums for artists including taylor swift, melissa etheridge and lana delray. >> here's the material >> reporter: he says it used to take six months to get an order done now it's eight months. >> our raw material supplier in tennessee has been able to limp by and provide us with what we need but it's kind of by the skin of our teeth every month. >> reporter: making a record is a delicate process done by hand. >> this is a record and what it looks like before it gets pressed. >> reporter: they start with melted pvc, it's pressed into a mold edges are trimmed. there's a visual inspection. they are sleeved and boxed here they make one record a minute. and since he does this by hand every record has a different look to it. >> exactly. >> almost like a tie-dyed

t-shirt. >> reporter: at burlington records downtown, it's not just the albums going quickly >> the easiest way to talk about people buying records right now is to look at how many new turntables have been selling and that's been astronomical. >> and what the selling of turntables shows you is that people are getting into this who have never been in the vinyl side before? >> yeah. that means that they are getting into it and they are probably going to stick with it. >> reporter: at the plant justin sees no end to the vinyl demand. >> it's a matter of how we can make the machinery an support each other globally to execute this level of demand. >> reporter: people are still buying cds and tapes cds and tapes in 2021, it seems like they want to hold on to music rather than just download it, but streaming is still dominating, still dominating above the other things like vinyl records and cds and tapes.

$6 billion in revenue from the first half of this year just for streaming, kelly. >> sometimes you just want to touch something, perry digital just isn't the same. perry russom tonight, thanks. unemployment lines shrinking. that's what's topping cnbc's "on the money. jobless claim numbers hitting new pandemic low at 281,000, that according to the labor department experts indicating the smaller number of files signal a recovering jobs market but news isn't all positive our economic growth rate slowed to 2% according to the commerce department that's the slowest increase since the end of the the 2020 recession. but it's the sweetest time of the year with consumer spending on halloween-related items expected to hit a whopping items expected to hit $10.1 billion according to the national retail federation, so with all that spend, surely some of it will be on reese's peanut butter cup, voted america's most favorite halloween candy and also gets the vote of yours truly. the least favorite, candy corn that's from candystores.com. on wall street today, the

dow up 240 points. the s&p adding 45. and the nasdaq up a healthy 212. now remember back in 2015 when google announced a restructuring and created a new parent company called alphabet facebook announcing a similar move today officially changing its corporate name to meta all the apps will say the same, facebook, instagram and whatsapp but this will be beyond the social media this will focus on theo not changing cri m metaverse. mark zuckerberg staying as ceo of the new company and also not changing criticism, youth? and other complaints piling on to the tech giant in what has been called putting profits over safety, the spread of misinformation and the algorithm and the inability of facebook to curtail these issues so the timing of the name change is convenient to say the least casey, you've called it on this show last week

you said they were leaning towards meta so what is the metaverse and what are zuckerberg's ambitions here? >> well, the metaverse is complicated in a lot of ways i think at its simples level zuckerberg likes to call it an embodied internet. the way i think about it it's basically things you can do with some kind of goggle strapped on your face, right there's going to be a series of connected experiences and zuckerberg spent a lot of time introducing us to some of those today. >> when, casey, with the metaverse be ready for users to experience >> so they already have in the oculus quest some of the social experiences that they say are the building block of the metaverse so you're going to see more social experiences. you can create an avatar already and take that around inside a virtual space and hang out with your friends i think the real vision of the metaverse is that it's not going to be owned by any one company so for it to really kind of take effect we'll need to see a bunch of companies building a set of

connected experiences that we can take various virtual goods throughout as we explore. >> facebook did mention that it would have partners, but it' clear they want to control the mesaverse, perhaps even in a way they can't control the phone experience with apple right now. should we be concerned about that given all the privacy and safety issues that they are facing that they would control the metaverse experience i think we do have to give that a lot of scrutiny and zuckerberg in his comments today really underscored just how much he hates the fact that he doesn't control the smartphone perform think of all the headaches that that has given him this year and in years previously, so i think you're right that the mere fact for facebook this is such an existential question, they need to own a platform so badly, that we should pay really close attention to the kind of rules they build around it, the kind of data they collect and what they do with it. >> and the shares today seemed to reward these announcements after a string of losses, so if nothing else is there value in

turning the page on the prior talking points which really focussed on the company's misstep? >> i think that was absolutely part of the goal facebook is eager to present a big, bold new vision and investors love hearing that because if facebook is able to realize this through this new company meta, there is going to be a lot of value there to unlock so i think, yes, for that reason and others it was a logical move >> casey, good to see you tonight. thank you. casey newton. well, the heads of some of the world's biggest oil and gas companies testifying virtually today before the house oversight committee. democrats calling this a big tobacco moment for oil and gas producers. they say the companies have known for years that their products are major contributors to climate change and that they have intentionally mislead the public about their product's impact. >> for far too long big oil has escaped accountability for its central role in bringing our planet to the brink of a climate catastrophe. that ends day. >> now some big oil execs deny

their companies spread disinformation about climate change, but some lawmakers argue their actions paint a different picture. nbc's josh letterman live on the hill for us tonight. josh, the house committee is now set to hit big oil with subpoenas, right >> reporter: that's right. house oversight chairwoman carolyn maloney saying exxonoven mobile, chevron, shep and bp america have refused to turn over their documents the goal was to get companies do admit what they said in the past was false, like when former exxon ceo lee raymond said in '96 that evidence of human-driven climate change was inconclusive congressman ro khanna questioning him on that in this exchange >> can you just acknowledge it was a mistake -- if someone makes a mistake, just say it was a mistake and you'll regret that that statement was out there would you say that >> i don't think it's fair to judge something 25 years ago with what we've learned since that time by today's standard.

>> i'm disappointed that you're not willing to say that something was a mistake. >> house republicans coming to the defense of big oil hitting president biden for cancelling the xl pipeline and rejecting democrats' comparisons to the big tobacco hearings of 1994 here's jim comber. >> i have concerns about the hearing and the legitimacy of democrats' so-called investigation of america's oil and gas companies. this hearing is simply a distraction from the crises that the biden administration's policies have caused for the american people. >> today's marathon hearing lasting more than six hours as democrats tried to use the spotlight to get the executives to make new promises to reduce their production of fossil fuels and stop lobbying against policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. the ceos standing firm making no real new commitments while arguing they are already doing their part through technology and some fairly small clean energy investments to fight climate change

game with the bad guys, the crooks and us getting it going out. >> reporter: and even while legitimate companies struggle with backed up supply chains and rising shipping costs, car thieves are shifting into overdrive. >> they're doing it more >> reporter: this rolls royce and this bmw i8 both stolen and intercepted at the port. >> during the pandemic we actually saw an increase in stolen cars being exported >> reporter: so somehow in the middle of a global shipping crisis, the criminals are still able to get stolen cars moved out of the port? >> yes. >> reporter: he says the number of stolen cars intercepted at this port steadily rising from 2017 and even through the pandemic in 2020, up 50%. >> might cost them more to ship it out because the price of shipping the containers quadrupled if not more when it was 3,000 pre-pandemic, now they are paying 20,000, 30,000 to export that contain

>> reporter: money he says stolen car rings can play, because the supply of legit cars is so low and demand is through the roof so these hot rides command a hefty premium overseas >> it's costing them more money, but they're making more money. they get the cars for free sky's the limit. >> reporter: and, kelly, the officer's team just crunched those latest numbers, and theycd are now seeing a drop in the number of stolen cars intercepted at this port, but he says other ports around the country like miami, philly and delaware, they are all seeing an uptick now that makes them think that criminals are now moving to different ports and try to get those cars shipped overseas. kelly? >> a confluence of factors but some fascinating numbers andrea, thank you so much. andrea day. an american airlines passenger accused of punching a flight attendant after she accidentally bumped into him that's according to a source close to the investigation earlier reports said he punched her over a mask disagreement

officials are shutting down shops, restaurants and schools only essential stores like supermarkets and pharmacies are allowed to stay open the restrictions come as russia faces low vaccination rates. in moscow here's nbc's matthew bodner. >> reporter: we're entering this new lockdown in moscow with two numbers that really underscore why this is happening now. today, authorities reported record-setting daily case growth exceeding for the very first time 40,000 new cases over a 24-hour period but also sadly new record-setting fatalities. that number today reported at 1,159. so all of this underscores that the situation has become rather critical here in moscow, and the authorities have done something that they have really been loathe to do since the very first moscow lockdown back early in the pandemic in march, april and also a little bit of may basically the political fallout domestically from that lockdown which was more akin to marshal

law than i think what you might think of when you think about a lackdown they've really gravitated towards doing mostly nothing at all. there were attempts to implement a vaccine passport system that failed very quickly, so now we're back to this it's hard to see how much is going to change because the vaccination rate in this country is very low. it's about 33% of the population is fully vaccinated. it's been that way for months, and basically the challenge now is to convince that 70% it's time to go out and get the jab america's top general says china's test launch of a new hypersonic weapon is very close to a sputnik moment. general mark milley calling beijing's test launch very concerning in an interview with bloomberg. >> it's a very significant technological event that occurred or test that occurred by the chinese, and it has all of our attention. >> general milley is the first

pentagon official to confirm that china tested hypersonic weapons over the summer. here's nbc's morgan brennan. >> reporter: a race for speed. with national security implications and one in which the united states is playing catchup. >> we're behind. we're behind the chinese and the russians there's a lot more work to do on the hypersonics, on the offensive side, but more importantly on the defensive side. >> reporter: hypersonic weapons can travel at least five times the speed of sound or about a mile per second. but some can move as fast as mach-20. what makes them such a game-changer is their lack of predictability unlike ballistic missiles that travel in an arc, hypersonics are maneuverable making them harder to detect and destroy. >> hypersonics allows a country to confront a world class air force such as ours without having their own world class air force. it allows them to confront a world class navy without having their own world class navy

because now they can hold the navy and airfields at risks in other parts of the world >> reporter: after years of fits and starts, the u.s. is increasing its budget, including $12 billion more for its five-year plan defense contractors are vying for the business, too, including north of grummond and raytheon technologies and there's six programs in its portfolio and there's a road map whether or not we choose to -- acknowledge it, we are already in a race. and it's not something we're going to negotiate away. glr >> reporter: all of this raises questions about the future of nuclear deterrents, as well as

sharon thank you so much tonight. sharon epperson. well, there's nothing worse than a multi strawberry. even my sons eat them, but it's so hard to avoid until now one company is trying towed it the genes of strawberries saying they will select desirable interest rates from the food to create this new super strawberry it will supposedly stay fresh longer and have a longer growing season u.s. growers produced 2. billion in strawberries last year and shoppers threw away 35% of that due to spoilage a. that's according to the department of agriculture and sounds about right to me still the new gmo strawberries are years away and maybe they can tackle blueberries next. merriam webster announcing today it's adding hundreds of new words to its dictionary. 455 of them to be exact, covering everything from technology to medicine to pop culture. of course, there are covid-related words like breakthrough, an infection occurring in someone and
