today setting the men s and women s all time indoor speed record for duration as a prime minister only 44 days in office. that s not even five squa scaramuccis. her abrupt resignation throws her closest ally even further into chaos. not that our friends across the pond weren t able to find humor in this, the economy magazine argued which would ask longer, liz truss prime minister or a head of lettuce. you know when folks start invoking salad items when discussing how long you re going to last at your job, at some point it becomes a feta complete. but let us move on. how could six weeks go so horribly wrong. liz truss deceleration from power, truss-nomics, they could create jobs, she said. essentially trickledown economic. this proposal immediately caused the british economy to implode. just the mere suggestion of this plan sent financial markets into a tail spin, drove the country s currency to a record low value against the american dollar, and pushed mortgage rates even
phone calls and meetings demonstrating how the former president personally and continually tried to convince them to support his fraudulent claims about a stolen election. part of today s hearing focused on someone whose home was actually rated by federal investigators yesterday. former justice department official named jeffrey clark. we are going to have more on that right in just a moment. the committee s interest about clark has to do with the former presidents effort to install clark as acting attorney general so that clark could use the levers of the justice department to subvert joe biden s victory in the 2020 election. take a listen to this incredible moment recalled today of a white house meeting just days before january 6 involving jeffrey clark, today s witnesses, the white house counsel, and then president trump. clark had just explained his plan, and here s how white house counsel eric hirschman responded. a warning, now, some of the language is a little bit sal
He became more adamant that we weren t doing our job. we need to step up and do our job. and he had this arsenal of allegations that he wanted to rely on. so, i felt in that conversation that was incumbent on me to make it very clear to the president what our investigations had revealed and that we had concluded based on actual investigations, actual witness interviews, actual reviews of documents, that these allegations simply had no merit. were any of the allegations he brought up credible? did you find any of them credible? no. i mean, that s significant. and, again, richard donahue, he s an army veteran. he s a former u.s. attorney. he s also a trumpster. donald trump they re all trumpsters. yaeeah, trumpsters. this is the phone call on december 27, and trump, again, as part of this drama, is becoming more and more agitated
Crisis at our southern border? we ll dig into all of that. but i want to go back to ukraine and to jim because from jim here in the states, i look at this map of mariupol, and it s absolutely devastating to see this chunk of the city that s surrounded by the russian forces, as you described. but for many people looking at this, they re wondering about this discrepancy, the idea of the back and forth over whether mariupol as a city has technically fallen. what s behind this? what is the significance of this discord, it seems? yaeeah, it s hard to say. it may be sort of willful defiance, wanting to highlight that ukrainian forces and this is true have not given up in mariupol and in other places, even when they faced the worst of odds. but the fact is, russians do control the vast majority of the city. crucially they control the key cross roads through the city. that s one of the reasons they
Subsidies. yaeeah, the tax credits are unusable. and one of the third things wait. how is any republican in california and new york going to vote for this thing? i don t know. i can only account for myself, chris. and the other thing is i mean the current law now on the affordable care act allows insurance companies to charge seniors three times as much as they charge a young, healthy person. the proposal that s before us now allows those insurance companies to charge a senior five times as much as they charge a young, healthy person at a time in most seniors lives when they re on a limited income, and they probably need health care more than they did in their younger years. the cbo report came out and said a senior citizen living on a fixed income of $26,000 may be liable to have to pay up to $14,000 in premium for their health care. i mean that s just unsustainable. i want to ask you about one provision in there, which is that republican lawmakers there s an exemption. i
