Right. The economy does do better under democrats. And as vice president kamala harris announces a major plan to boost small businesses, economists are saying that trump s proposals, like for instance, tariffs, would actually hurt americans. Also tonight, we are just days into the new school year for many students, but we ve already had our first school shooting, leaving four dead and several injured at a high school in georgia. Plus, breaking late today, republican liz cheney, who once said that donald trump is unfit for any office, announced that she will be voting for vice president kamala harris. But we begin tonight with it s the economy stupid. James carville s famoused a moe in addition from the 1992 election that remains true today. Polls show the economy continues to be the top issue for many voters, including inflation and affordability. And yet there is only one candidate who is proposing policies that would actually help americans. Vice president kamala harris. Here she is
hi, everyone. an extraordinary revelation by a judge who said he found compelling evidence that donald trump may have committed crimes of adding a new dimension to trump s legal jeopardy and reminder after incredible reporting and after more than a year of an intense investigative probe by congress, there is still more that we don t know and more to learn about the details of the trump plan. as we reported on this show yesterday, in a ruling ordering attorney general john eastman to hand over dozens of his e-mails to the january 6 committee, the federal judge says that eastman s clients, that is donald trump, signed a legal document describing evidence of election fraud that he knew was false. the new york times has more on carter s ruling. he knew the specific numbers of voter fraud were wrong but continued to tout those numbers. both in court and to the public judge carter wrote. he added in a footnote that the suit contained language saying mr. trump was relying on infor
not many. to be honest with you. you know, courage is in low supply. i mean, we re running deficits in courage and conviction these days. and it seems to me the reason for that, and that s a really interesting question. the reason for it is to be a kind of odd, toxic brew that i ve said before of greed and selfishness and cowardliness and grievance and hatred. i don t know if people even look at the latest poll data, nicolle, where some independents and some democrats are saying they re willing to vote for some people who may be election deniers, if i understand the question correctly. we re running deficits in courage and conviction. so that line wouldn t be very long, in my view. mary, in the national security establishment, i know there was a sense when trump won that the country could survive four years but not eight. i know that feeling became
that kevin mccarthy and mitch mcconnell faced after january 6th. and we now know how they privately felt about that choice. and the choice that they then publicly meet. right. and it s clear and it s been clear for a while. but i think there s something we need to make mention. that we need a single out, lawrence. and it might not be cowardliness as you mentioned in the league. it very well might be an absolute obsession with power. at the end, is to maintain the power. and we read the expert. what we see our decisions being made. and the kind of judgments that this is horrible, that this is treasonous. that this is impeachable. and then reading the tea leaves, seeing what the base is doing.
each other. joining us is the aclu s political director and dave hoppy of hoppy strategies. let s start with this. which is better for the united states, whether bannon is on the ups or kushner is on the ups. i ll start with you on this. i think this debate reflects the fact that donald trump is a poor manager. he s responsible for creating this chaos around him. if he wants to try to blame steve bannon for his own problems, that s weakness. that s cowardliness. he s the one tweeting about crazy things that the former president was wiretapping his phones. he s the one making the decisions to repeal the affordable care act, to institute the muslim ban. at the end of the day, if he wants to put that on to somebody else in his administration, that feels like weakness and throwing somebody under the bus for his own failures. dave, which is better for america, which is better for this president, whether it s kushner on top or bannon on top?
