well, it is shaping up to be a really big week for the country, because this week, the supreme court is going to hear oral arguments on whether the 14th amendment disqualifies a donald trump from the ballot. and today, just a few hours ago, actually, we got a pretty good window into how trump s legal team plans to make their arguments. and let me tell you, this brief, i read it today, it includes a fair number of arguments from an alternate universe. for starters, trump s lawyers claim that the former president is not in fact and officer of the united states, which is who the 14th amendment covers. now, this is not a new or surprising argument necessarily being made by the trump team. but let s be real. it kind of defies logic. i mean, how could it be that the president of the united states is not an officer of the united states with an obligation, by the way, to abide by the constitution. it s kind of what the founders had in mind. but then, there s the other, perhaps even m
the senate? no, we made very clear what the requirements of the house were. that is to solve the problem at the border. is donald trump calling the shots here, mr. speaker? of course not. he s not calling the shots. i am calling the shots for the house. that s our responsibility. of course not. but trump did tell them to do nothing about the border this year because republicans can t afford to give it up as an election issue. also tonight, how trump managed to delay, delay, delay his criminal trials. something no regular citizen would be able to do. plus, as trump openly roots for a crash, joe biden presides over what even trump advisers admit is a whopper of an economy. but we begin tonight with an emergency. a crisis, a catastrophe, at least that s what republican lawmakers have spent the last few month calling the situation at the southern border. one thing is absolutely clear. america is at a breaking point with record levels of illegal immigration. it is an u
ally rudy giuliani decided to scapegoat me and my daughter. whatever happened to them, which is unfortunate for other people overreacting. but everything i said about them is true. not true, rudy. a judge has already ruled that you defamed ruby freeman and shaye moss who tonight are awaiting a jury s decision on how many millions you will have to pay for your election lies. also tonight, the strange axis of putin, orbon, and the republican party and their embrace of authoritarianism. plus, the court trump largely built, and now trump is banking on his hand-picked justices to come through for him and keep him out of jail. but we begin tonight in a washington, d.c. courthouse, where an eight-person jury has begun their deliberations into how much one rudolph william giuliani should have to pay in damages to the two georgia election workers he defamed following the 2020 presidential election. accusing them of engaging in election fraud. giuliani was expected to testify
tonight on all in. if i m elected, if he s elected, the stock market will crash. the fearless forecaster blows it again. that bell marks a new record high. this is a huge day for the stock market. there you go. thank you. that is the highest the dow has ever been. tonight, the truth and propaganda of the so-called greatest economy of all-time. then when i testify you ll get the whole story. why rudy broke his promise to testify as we wait to see how much he has to pay the women he defamed. plus, how to process new polling that looks strong for the indicted front-runner, and as families of hostages visit the white house, the new biden message to israel to end the large-scale campaign, when all in starts, right now. mark good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. i have some news about that recession that everyone said was coming. i think maybe it s not going to come. now whether you believe it or not or if you feel it or not, the united states economy
mar-a-lago search as the department of justice appeals a special master ruling. and 53 days to november 8th. i signed a letter with 120 other generals and admirals saying that trump won the election, and emmett, i stand by what i signed. will voters a by a sped snapping republican pivot to democracy? do you stand by that today? so you know, we we live in learn. when all in starts right now. good evening from new york, happy friday. i m chris hayes with less than two months to go before the midterm elections, of republican party finds itself in considerably worse shape than they had expected we have new polling out and day from the new york times. it shows that 46% of registered voters said they would be more likely to vote for the democratic candidate for congress in their district, if the election were held today, compared to 44% who said they would vote for the republican. that s within the margin of error. but even if we consider the parties neck and neck, ac
