Recovery. but certainly i think one of the rons that were getting slower recovery is the shifting of the composition of jobs and people searching out new opportunities. we expected to some extent. >> complicated but the good news is that we are on the road to recovery. thank you all so much. we have to leave it there because we have to turn to breaking news. a senior u.s. military official confirming to nbc that american troops have now completely withdrawn from the main military base in afgha...

Inflation base effects that were caused by very weak activity and prices this time last year which because they are annual and a matter of arithmetic do not last beyond a year but while they are there, they push up inflation. secondly, we can see, as i havejust said, additional price pressures from various shortages caused by the temporary imbalance in the recovery of supply and demand. sometimes as demand recovers more rapidly as supply. but there is good reasons to think this will not last. th...

Going to be people that are adamant that this is partisan, no matter the composition of the body its going to be hard to extract the politics from it because, i mean, i think you know january 6th is inherently political, and the fact that now we are in this place where nancy pelosi is basically choosing most of the committee with some input from the republicans, but people who dont believe this shouldnt be happening at all are not going to be convinced this is apolitical or truly bipartisan. i t...

S they believe is the most efficient way of getting this bill passed. at the same time you have the tensions from the progressive wing of the democratic party, which is going to feel like its getting railroaded because none of those priorities for soft infrastructure are included in this bill, which has really been pruned down and focused primarily on traditional hard infrastructure of roads and bridges. >> yeah, heidi, i was just going to ask you about that, in terms of how they were able to ge...

The result they want with the current composition of the supreme court. chris: ive got about 30 seconds, dana. georgias secretary of state brad raffensperger who pushed back hard on donald trumps claims of vote fraud in georgia, he says hes looking forward to meeting the feds in court on this lawsuit and beating the feds in court on this lawsuit. >> yeah, democrats might actually end up codifying some of the things that are in the law, voter id would be one of those things. there are some things...
