Soft and america has beaten back the unprecedented economic challenges of the global pandemic and the ensuing disruption to the economy. It is proof that the biden economic recovery has been nothing short of miraculous. Especially given the mess he inherited from trump and the u. S. Outperformed every other country on earth. Trump like so many republicans before him has enjoyed a pulling advantage with voters over the economy. That may be changing. Multiple polls in recent weeks suggesting harris is closing the gap and possibly even leading trump on economic issues. Harris has been helped by trumps inability to feign caring about the expenses of americans as he proved earlier this month with that rambling answer to that direct question in New York. It was Word Salad but with one under noticed but toxic ingredient that deserves more attention. If you take it in november, can you commit to making childcare affordable and if so what specific legislation will you advance . Childcare is chi
It is just coming in right now. The federal reserve announced half a point. That was not the most expected. 48 days to the election, great news for the economy. Critics said it could not happen, but our policies a little policies are lowering costs and creating jobs. As a republican nominee plans to raise your grocery prices. How can a family of four that, like cheerios? i haven t seen cheerios in a long time. And nancy pelosi on the state of the race and the maga threats in the house. And growing calls for center in the senate as a hate crime hearing flies off the rails. You do not support hamas. I oppose you should hide your head in a bag. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. I am chris hayes. We are so back. This afternoon federal reserve chair jerome powell took the stage to announce the feds first cut in interest rates since 2020 and the beginning of the pandemic recession and it was a big one. A half percent interest rate reduction to stimulate borrowing and
Vladimir putin wants donald trump to win. Benjamin netanyahu wants donald trump to win, but the difference is the biden administration is in many ways helping benjamin netanyahu, providing him the impunity to do the very things that not only end up killing palestinians and lebanese and endangering israelis, but also increase the possibility of donald trump being president. How does that make any sense as policy from a democratic administration? and then there is the human toll. The expectation that there will be retaliation on the part of hezbollah and i wonder how you are guarding yourself as we are in this strange period. I guess there could be more explosions tomorrow, but as we sit and wait for retaliation from hezbollah for attacks that israel began the day before yesterday. The biden administration has to use american leverage these iv israel to get israel to recognize that it s problem with hezbollah and with gaza is a diplomatic problem and the way to get an end to the rocket f
Russias current borders. Putins Expansionist Nationalism requires military power, but its harnessed the cultural spiritual authority of the russian Orthodox Church, too. My guest, andrey kordochkin, was a russian Orthodox Priest who spoke out against the ukraine war and the putinisation of his church. But is he swimming against an unstoppable tide . Andrey kordochkin, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you. Its a great Honour And Privilege to be here. Well, its great to have you in the studio. Let me take you back to February 2022. Putin orders an all out invasion of ukraine. Within days, you, a priest in the russian Orthodox Church, choose to speak out against the invasion. When you did that, did you feel that this would be the end of your career in the russian Orthodox Church . I think that when the war has begun, very few of us could actually give a prediction of what is going to come through. So i think that many people would suggest that the war would be over in a very short period of tim
In the russian orthodox church, choose to speak out against the invasion. When you did that, did you feel that this would be the end of your career in the russian orthodox church? i think that when the war has begun, very few of us could actually give a prediction of what is going to come through. So i think that many people would suggest that the war would be over in a very short period of time. So i don t think that any of us was acting out of any kind of prediction. And i think when i spoke out against the war, i don t think that i really felt any choice. I thought that it was a moral imperative on behalf of any christian or any sensible and reasonable person, to try to stop it, or at least not to be a part of what one may call a moraljustification of evil. But you didn t actually just speak out yourself. Within days, you were a cosignatory to a declaration that, i think, involved almost 300 russian orthodox priests, who were opposed to this invasion. So, it wasn t just yourself. Yo
