prosecutions into thousand 15. if we are to make sure that escande like this can never happen again, we need to look at the way in which private prosecutions like these have been undertaken. any company can bring private prosecutions in this way. this is not a special power of the post office, i know my right honourable friend the lord chancellor wants to give this issue proper and thoughtful consideration and i am sure he will report to the house about this issue in due course. getting justice for the victims of this candle and ensuring that such a tragedy can never happen again is my highest priority as a minister and has been throughout my 15 months in office. when we talk about compensation, we have to remember that the lives of postmasters and their families caught up in this scandal have been changed forever. they face financial ruin, untold personal distress and a loss of reputation that no amount of financial compensation can fully restore. the government recognises h
of the great technological shifts in human history over the past millennium. would you say that artificial intelligence, the supremacy of the algorithm, represents one of those transformational moments for humankind? i m not sure that it does. but there is a fair chance that it will have transformative effects. it is all commonplace to compare it to the fire, or to the rise of industrial machinery starting in the 18th century, it remains to be seen whether it will be as important for our productivity and our lives, but we are already seeing some of its deep effects on how we organise our democracy, and inequality in modern nations. maybe you are not quite so sure about how dramatic its transformational impact will be, but you certainly seem to be pretty sure that you re sceptical. you say ai will fuel inequality, disempower workers, and, choke democracy? how? ai is a continuation of a trend that started perhaps around two years ago, where we have been using digital technologi
indictment. no one has made that allegation. at the end of the day, you have to weigh the damage of the indictment versus the damage of the allegations. it s just not even a fair way. senator marco rubio s evolution on donald trump s access to and handling of classified documents. yeah, i agree, it s not even a close call. you weigh whether you believe as the 11th circuit said that the foundational principle of this country, that no man is above the law, and you balance that against whatever marco was saying we should balance it against. and, you know, willie, i just you will notice you will notice of all of the noise out there, of all of the ground noise, nobody is saying he s innocent. nobody is saying he did not commit the crimes that will put him in jail for over a hundred years, if convicted on all things. i can t think of one person who has said this man did not do it. so what they say is what about hillary? i mean but they had a long time to do that.
starts now. tonight on the reidout fundamentally a second trump term could mean the end of american democracy as we know it. he s literally called for things like doing away with parts of the constitution. wanting to weaponize the doj to enact revenge on his political enemies. we re running out of time in order to try to stop trump from being in the oval office again. former trump staffers warn the nation, the threat is real. and democracy is at stake as we enter this presidential election year. michael fanone, one of the heroes of january 6th, joins me tonight. also, two weeks to iowa. and desantis and haley are still treating the front-runner donald trump oh, so gently. as if they don t really want to win. plus, he was paid by the trump campaign to find proof of widespread election fraud in 2020. he found none. and told them so. they continued to push the big lie anyway. ken block is my guest tonight. good evening, everyone. happy new year. i hope you enjo
behavior. if it were up to me, nobody would take classified information or endorsing him for president of the united states. donald trump lands in miami on the eve of surrender. glass defied, confidential, i think they are probably all over the place. i think they are gonna find the treasure trove. i can t even imagine. tonight, the second trump arraignment in two months, as the disgraced ex president issues a familiar call. and we need strength at this point, and everyone is afraid to do anything. they have to go out and they have to protest peacefully. blessed, michael cohen on the charges against his old boss, and the decisions trump s alleged coconspirator faces. then maya wiley and elie mystal on that refusal of judge aileen cannon. and congressman jamie raskin on a new june from an infamous trump defender. if even half of it is true, then he is dusted. when all in starts right now. good evening from new york, i am chris hayes. tomorrow afternoon, a
