state of our economy. good evening. the day started well enough for biden with a jobs report showing the u.s. economy adding 311,000 jobs last month. we created more jobs in two years than any administration created in the first four years. it s no accident. it mean our economic plan is working. but that good news was quickly overtaken by bad news that could get a lot worse. thank you. thank you. silicon valley bank may not be a house hold name. but it is a very big deal in term of lending to and financing operations of many leading tech companies. and today, it collapsed. struggling with high interest rates, unable to find a buyer. well, the very last time we ve seen a bank of this magnitude fell was in 2008. and, that could be a true indication of where our economy is at. now, the white house insists comparisons with the financial crisis of 2008 are overblown. our banking system is fundamentally different because of the changes that we put in place in 2008.
getting some of our biggest clues yet about the directions special counsel jack smith is taking the politically fraught and complex and unprecedented investigations of an ex president by the justice department. there are major developments in both the january 6 investigation and the probe into the classified documents. we ll get to that in a minute. but we begin with what we know about the sprawling criminal probe into the capitol insurrection and the coup plotted by the ex president and his allies and including those in the administration and in congress. as the new york times reports, jack smith steps us the pace, sorting through a mountain of evidence from the january 6 committee and looking to interview witnesses that did not speak to the congressional panel. from that times report, quote, did former president trump consume detailed information about foreign countries wild in office? how extensively did he seek information about whether voting machines had been tampered
scrambled, and a u.s. f 22 successfully shut it down. it s unclear whether the latest object has anything to do with the chinese by balloon shutdown off the coast of carolina s just last week or the object that was down over alaska on friday. nbc is in washington with the latest. ben, tell us what we know about the jets taken down a short time ago in canada. we do not know really anything more than what you just pointed out, which is this tweet from the canadian prime minister saying that they took down this high altitude object so this is 24 hours since a another high altitude object was taken down off the coast of alaska by a another u.s. fighter jet, another of 22. we still don t have any answers on what that object was other than that it was roughly the size of a small car, and it was not manned. in this case, this was spotted over northern canada, there were u.s. and canadian aircraft tracking it, and the f 22 fighter jet shut it down. what altitude was a? what s beat
biden administration tried to cut corners in the fda s covid vaccine approval. that gets a little concerning. trace, it s difficult when you re fast tracking a drug of any kind, especially if you re fast tracking something that is a new category of drug, mrna, never given to people, mandated or encouraged for every person alive, basically? you don t have time to investigate these things. a traditional fast track still involves the safety and efficacy for a large number of people and not intended for the entire population. this is a unique situation. it s unusual that they were unable to do what they did. and something is going to fall through the cracks. that was inevitable. we re going to find out more about this. i want to go on to the social media censoring. matt tiabbi said, truth about vaccine. not just misinformation or whatever they call it. the truth of the vaccines, in one email, the virility project
