Is investigating voting in irregularities. So un georgia should call special session, nick wink wink, nudge nudge, and send all of your electors to washington. So since george is run by republicans, they would be trump electors. That would be a violation of georgia state law, that would be a violation of the will of the, people trump lost the election, it would put the election process into chaos. Thankfully, rosen, refused to sign. At the letter was never sent. Not for lack of trying though. Because the new york times reported that jeffrey clark cooked up a plot with donald trump. Madam in person, for trump to fire rosen so that jeffrey park could take his role and send a letter. And it was just won the senior justice of we learned something after the show last night, they weren t as targeting georgia. It turns out that this guy jeff, was writing or drafting these types of letters with all the six states that ended up going for joe biden, and i think that, you know, when we see is the
Back to school. Plus electric jeep day at the white house. With the new biden push to phase out gaspowered vehicles means for you and the sudden death of an american labor giant. Remembering aflcio president, richard trumka when all in starts right now. He wasn t just a great labor leader, he was a friend. Good evening from new york. I m chris hayes. When i was here in this chair last night, i started the show by saying that donald trump s failed coup was worse than we thought. 24 hours later, i am here to say once again that the failed coup was worse than we thought last night. Because we ve got another damning new bit of information since we reported last night on the role that this man, former assistant attorney general jeffrey clark, played in attempting to overturn american democracy. Last night we told the story of the letter that clark had drafted to be sent to georgia state officials, and he wanted the acting attorney general at the time, jeffrey rosen, to sign it. That letter
Daily. I m chuck todd. We begin with breaking news in indianapolis, another mass shooting. It happened at a fedex facility late last night. Eight people were killed, five injured. The gunman took his own life before officers arrived. They are working to identify the gunman. The fbi is assisting local officials in that part of the investigation. President biden is having to order flags to be flown as half staff. I believe the fifth time in eight weeks he has had to do this. He addressed the shooting a short time ago. Yes, there is a wash, rinse, repeat to this. Will anything be done? the indianapolis mayor became the latest mayor, of course, that has been forced to confront a mass shooting in their own city. Although we will learn more about this case in the coming days and in the coming weeks, no piece of information will restore the lives that were taken. Or the peace that was shattered. Nothing we learn can heal the wounds of those who escaped with their lives but who will now bear t
worst slump in over 300 years, and we ve moved from a protect and survive mode to a support mode and then a growth mode is what we need next. if there s one thing that is the most powerful weapon to bring down debt as a percentage of your economy it is growth. if you ve got this debt to gdp relationship, one of the best ways to get that down is increase the denominator, gdp, keep that going. if you have that, then you can also keep unemployment down, which will then keep the numerator of that fraction under control. so there will be a big emphasis on growth, and i expectjobs, jobs, jobs to be the mantra running through the chancellor s mind. you have a furlough, the wild card is what happens when there is measures are removed. it seems to me almost guaranteed that he will extend the furlough scheme that supports wages. people also extend the business rates and business tax holiday. but he will say that he has to be honest about the challenge of the public finances. it is almo
