An historic day in washington. The former president and current g portion front runner will be arraigned for eallegedly orchestrating a a plot to overturn the free and Fair Election that he lost. Were keeping watch as donald trump gets ready to leave new jersey, board his private jet and make his way to a federal courthouse just steps away from where democracy was under siege during the january 6th insurrection. Hundreds of Protrump Rioters already face justice inside that very same courthouse. And thats where we begin this hour with paula reid and evan perez. What can we expect to unfold in that courthouse out of the publics view . Once the former president gets into washington, he will be brought into the federal courthouse. Were probably not going to see much of him before he finally gets into the courthouse. He will be processed by the u. S. Marshals as they do with everyone who is arraigned. He will be under arrest. And then he will be brought in at 4 00. The we expect the judge i
everyone, he doesn t have to focus on recent hess in the congress, which not everyone is worried about day to day, but connecting, as you say, with the support that s out there. yeah. and it will force us out of this box too of measuring whether he is successful in getting bipartisan policies through by looking to where the support is coming from. and if you have support from republican governors and you have support from republican mayors and you have support, i think more than 50% of republicans in the country support this package, then it s impossible to deny him the accomplishment of governing in a bipartisan way. yeah, all great points. i was curious what s on your mind going into this. nice to see you, my friend. thank you. thank you. i want to welcome everyone to the beat. i am ari melber. we have a special show planned for you tonight. a live interview right here on the beat with white house secretary jen psaki. that s coming up tonight. meanwhile, joe
the only way you do it is you counter it with the facts and you re consistent and you re focused and you re clear eyed. you keep on repeating that truth and you continue to reinvigorate institutions, democratic institutions and rule of law and legal processes that support the facts in the truth. there s really no other way to do it. i, one, regardless of those facts still believe very strongly in the positive spirit of the american people. the vast majority of the people i see still want government to work for them. they want legitimate people to be in charge of their institutions. and i believe that if you provide that alternative, we will go that way. joe biden is that alternative. you feel confident he can beat trump because the polls show them neck and neck. absolutely he s that alternative. when it s time to tell that story, elections are contrast elections. it s not in isolation. what are the options? the story of the economy rebounding, the very strong middle class economy
Thinking hopefully by next year we ll be back to somewhat normal. you mentioned that deutsche bank saying the economy rebounding by mid 2024. a lot of damage will have been done by then. so how do we avoid a recession, or at least avoid a major recession? is that even possible at this juncture? yeah, i mean, everything is on the table. i think there s a lot possible when it comes to this economy and ensuring that, you know, there is maybe there s the interest rate doesn t get cut as much. there is a flip side of, one, ensure there is cash on hand and being able to have goods. really the global recovery is the x factor in all of this. if we didn t have the pandemic looming still and be able to meet the demand for consumers and goods, rosemary, we should be able to recover to some of that. but because of the pressure that is being put on companies and others into the economy, it s
They hit the brakes, that raises the risks of an accident either in markets, in the economy, or in both. the bank does say that it sees the economy rebounding by mid 2024, but that could be a lifetime from now. i mean, a lot can happen in between now and then. is there any hope on the immediate horizon? well, they are saying that they think that this downturn would begin at the end of the 2023 and that by mid 2024, yes, the economy would be rebounding. i think the good news is that their gloom and doom is not universal on wall street. other economists think that the fed could pull it out. goldman sachs says they don t think that recession is needed to get inflation under control. but i would point out that investors are starting to get nervous about at least the slowdown in the economy, the dow fell more than 800 points, 2.4%, yesterday. it is down as you can see on that chart about 1700 points in just the past week. stock futures, they are back up this morning, but markets do rema
