Another, we want to solve a problem, we do not want to beat the hell out of one another. You saw the question of Artificial Intelligence in the workplace, being addressed by the hollywood unions and hollywood studios. You saw issues of Climate Change being addressed by teamsters and ups. That is the kind of partnership we want to see at the labormanagement level. Unsold workers have unions, so they have power, voice, the ability to stand up to their employers, we are not going to have that kind of successful problemsolving in the workplace. In a moment, i will do a segment about how donald trump accused the Biden Harris Administration of budgeting unemployment numbers, because the revisions came out and show there were fewer jobs created by about 800,000 in 2023, than expected. I just want you to give us the short version of this, the president has no role in those numbers whatsoever, and they are revised 100 of the time. As i like to say, it is not a baseball score. That is not how jo
that we ve together a narrative of what led to the insurrection. democratic congressman, and january six committee member jamie raskin said, quote, it will really blow the roof off the house. the committee is setting the bar high for what people can expect to come out of these hearings. especially, as more bombshell to revelations continue to leak about the conduct of the key gop figures. in the past week, audio recordings and text messages between republican members of congress, members of the trump administration, and other conservative firebrands have exposed the extent of the right-wing coordination to deny joe biden the presidency. they have also exposed disunity and rancor within the republican party in the days after the insurrection. that was most apparent in the comments made by house minority leader, kevin mccarthy. this happened just days after trump supporters breached the capitol. listen to this. let me be very clear to all of you. i am very clear to the presid
me. i ll see you at the end of tomorrow. we ve got new developments in that georgia case involving donald trump s alleged efforts to overturn the election. today, as chris was talking about, the former trump lawyer, sydney powell, this, when asked the court to separate her case from the 90 other defendants in the trial. her lawyers claim that sidney powell, quote, has no substantive connection with any other defendant regarding the charges in the indictment, unquote. and therefore, should be tried alone. now, that is to put it mildly, a difficult case to make. powell, seen here standing alongside rudy giuliani in front of a campaign site for the codefendant donald trump has many substantive connections to the other defendants. she attended a meeting with several other could offense at the white house, where they discussed ways to overturn the election. at that meeting, they considered making city powell a special counsel so that she could investigate the election. but
that s what we have all these prosecutions happening across the country. jenna griswold, always great to see you. thanks for being with, us thanks for the things you do to keep our elections actually safe. she is the secretary of state, for colorado. coming up in our next hour, we re gonna call to order a special edition of the velshi banned book club. ominous discuss with two call scholars, one of america s most important most divisive documents, the constitution of the united states of america. we re gonna dig deeper into the section of that same constitution that legal experts say disqualifies donald trump from holding the office of the president ever again. another hour of velshi begins right now. right now. good morning, it s saturday, august 19th. i m ali velshi. in the span of just 12 months, the twice impeached president donald trump has been charged with a total of 91 felony count. stemming from criminal cases against. tim he remains firmly at the top of the fiel
the dozens of criminal charges he is now facing. i want to say that again. unanimously! that means his lawyer stood up in front of the entire panel of erudite judges, they made their best legal arguments, and when it was all said and done each of them told him, beat it! but now, ladies and gentlemen, the supreme court has entered the chat. that part actually did appear to go very well for the twice impeached, four times indicted, ex president. on thursday, the supreme court heard more efforts in an effort to disqualify the ballot based on saying three of the 14th amendment of the constitution. that seemed to be a step too far for most of the nine justices on the bench. judging from their lines of questioning, they appear skeptical of the case as a whole, and hesitant about the precedent that this could create. while trump probe peers likely to prevail in this case, he still has plenty of legal troubles ahead. there is another case already knocking at the supreme court stores.
