About this episode

The White House rolled out new measures to control Covid-19 ahead of an expected winter surge as the Omicron variant spreads. He says it won't include new lockdowns or domestic restrictions -- but Republicans are attacking it anyway.

Plus, nearly 50 years since Roe v. Wade, five conservative Supreme Court justices signal they may be ready to overturn the landmark ruling.

And another week of infighting among House Republicans -- does Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy have any control over his conference?

On today’s panel: Time Magazine’s Molly Ball, CNN’s Lauren Fox, CNN’s Phil Mattingly, Politico’s Laura Barron Lopez, CNN Supreme Court Analyst Joan Biskupic.
