will get that? i don t know, it will have some limitations. there s a reason some information is limited to who gets it in congress. that said, not everyone is on the intelligence committee. sometimes, when there is highly classified information, an individual member seeks would have to get approval for the committee, and there s actually a vote. sometimes, they are turned down because they have already said they are going to release this information. do i think i served with people who would release classified information, for political purposes? yes. that s sobering and unfortunate. let s go to but president biden did this week, which was signed the inflation reduction act into law. what are the immediate impacts for americans, and how important is it that democrats message out on how this is going to help people? look, i think democrats are going to ally to make that clear. tons of this is just that a, this is the president who
best part though, listening to the ports by his mom. it completely makes you understand some things and the compassion that you expressed, i totally get that. it looks good. and you look good in that yellow today, alex. i m bright sunny, here we go. thank you, have a good one. every good day to all of you from msnbc world headquarters here in new york. welcome everyone to alex witt reports. we begin this hour with new developments in the mar-a-lago search. first, new alarm from the doj expressing concern about what could happen if surveillance video from the fbi is made public. a doj official says the department hopes caution and care would be used by anyone with access to that video. that comes as trump s team is planning to file a new legal challenge very soon. one of trump s attorneys now claiming his client s fourth
great set up. let s bring in on the heels of that, mark caputo. a senior national reporter for nbc news digital. former fbi special agent. welcome to you both. mark, let s get to your brand-new article in which it is titled trump things that mar-a-lago search will help him in 2024. some allies aren t so sure. you are colleagues right, one close trump ally who hopes he ll run in 2024 said the former president doesn t seem to be aware of the perilous position he s in. saying, he may get closer to the prize but reality, he slipping. can you mark, give us a sense of how trump plans to use what has been a tumultuous couple of weeks to say the least. the people around him think he is a little delusional about this? let s be careful in trying to forecast what don trump is going to do. careful he s been pretty unpred, even until now. i m not sure all this reporting about the surveillance video and this chatter inside trump world is right. some of that might be very wrong. we should be carefu
