[ chanting ] i will give you a sneak peek of my newest documentary, supreme power, inside the highest court in the land airs tonight at 8:00 p.m. eastern and pacific. but first, here s my take. italy and sweden are about as different as two european countries can get. one is catholic, mediterranean, sunny and chaotic. the other protestant, northern, chilly, and ordered. over the decades, they ve had very different political trajectories. but both are witnessing the striking rise of parties that have some connections to fascism. in each party, this has coincided with collapse of support of the center her, a
i m that s annoying but soft alarms on your smartphone. no. i mean one of those really obnoxious alarms that you might hear a few rows back on the plane. turn that off. but you can t turn this alarm off. and as much as we might all want to wish it away, it s clear with less than three weeks until the midterm elections, the forecast is doom and gloom. and maybe that s why president biden today gave not one, but two, speeches on the economy. families are hurting. you ve heard me say it before, but i get it. it s been a rough four or five years for the country, but a lot of folks here are still struggling. but there s some real bright spots. i get it. folks are still struggling. but one word you did not hear from president biden today, the word, recession. but he did admit a recession was a possibility during our interview last week. i don t think there will be a recession. if it is, it ll be a very slight recession. that is, we ll move down slightly. look, it s possib

cast their ballots in this critical midterm election at stake. control of the u.s. house of representatives, control of the u.s. senate, plus control of governors mansions in state houses all across united states. the polls and political history point to a likely good night for republicans. since 1990, the president s party has lost seats in the house, sometimes in the dozens, when the president s approval rating falls below 50%. and biden s sure is below 50%. trying to ride that momentum, sources tell cnn that donald trump has been discussing with aides whether he should announce his 2024 presidential campaign tonight. it s all unknown as of now, but what is clear, we probably will not know the results in a number of the elections tomorrow night. it will likely take days to count all the ballots. so, what to watch out for in the meantime? beware of bad actors who will try to take advantage of these delays to spread false conspiracies about election fraud. let s take a momen
