4:02 pm
delay denied a judge just rejecting the former president's request to delay his hush money trial, which starts in six days. trump is trying to move the case out of manhattan and it comes just as cnn has obtained the crucial jury questionnaire that potential jurors will have to answer in trump's first criminal trial are paula reid obtain them and they the offer a lot of important clues about the trial we're about to witness. you've got questions ranging on whether jurors have supported any fringe groups like q and on to where they get their news, whether they've ever listened to certain podcasts to whether they're married, all sorts of details and also questions like this. do you have any feelings of opinion? it's about how mr. trump is being treated in this case. so what is 42 questions and all we're gonna go through it as trump is throwing every piece of spaghetti he can find at the wall and a final effort to avoid his facing judge and jury in that first criminal trial. and just six days, he's also phonetically trying every last ditch effort to get his georgia election interference case tossed tonight, turning to
4:03 pm
the georgia court of appeals, his team writing that the former president's quote, indictment wrongfully criminalizes core political speech and expressive contact, predict protected. i'm sorry, by the first amendment. remember this is the case where trump appealed to the secretary of state of georgia to find him votes that did not exist. listen >> i want to do is this. i just want to find 11,000 and loads, which is one more that we have these two cases are not theoretical possibilities anymore in new york or georgia, they're real and they're happening. and in the case of georgia, the prosecutor promising the quote, train is coming and that she wants a trial and this is very crucial in this one because it's different than the new york one. >> it will be >> televised and so the whole country can see it coming into the final days of the election. she wants it to start in august. >> so >> let's get straight to paula reid on the breaking news tonight. and paula, you've gotten these jury instructions
4:04 pm
and the criminal trial in new york that they refer to it starting in just six days, even though he is trying one more hail mary after another here to try to delay it >> yeah, drawing unsuccessfully today that new york appeals court judge rejecting this last-minute efforts to pause the trial will trump continues to try to argue that this should be moved out of manhattan, and trump lawyers argued that pretrial publicity is making it impossible to get a fair trial. but prosecutors area and they said, look, it's too late to do something like that when the way we will weed out bias jurors is through jury selection. and that's where the jury questionnaire comes in and you look through this. the question some of them were similar to the questions we saw during jury selection and the e jean carroll case they ask where jurors get their news. they ask if they or anyone close to them has ever worked for trump or attended a trump rally. they also ask about membership in extremist groups like the proud boys and the oath keepers now again, these
4:05 pm
are questions that we have seen before. then they get more specific about this case, about feelings about trump himself. this is the process are and that prosecutors insist will help them weed out anyone who has a bias. no question. i'm getting a lot is how long is this going to take? >> remember in this case, there's only >> four days in a trial week because four is off on wednesdays, then also have a couple of religious holidays over the next few weeks. so this process of selecting a jury for this, the first criminal prosecution of former president trump could take a few weeks, could take a few weeks just for the jury to be selected. all right. >> very significant, paula. thank you very much. paul. a breaking news and obtaining this questionnaire as well out front. now benzenes berg, the longtime republican election lawyer, harry sandec, former assistant us attorney for the southern district of new york. and instead herndon national political reporter for the new york times. so thanks very much to all of you here. you've been going through this juror questionnaire and as paul points out some of the questions in here are ones we saw before in the e jean carroll case. whether you've
4:06 pm
worked for trump for example, where you get your news. 42 questions as she points out what stands out to you. >> sure. i think it's a very thoughtful approach. many of these questions are typical in any jury trial about the background of the juror and what they do, where they live, those types of things. but then they're aimed at trying to elicit people who can't be fair because of course, trump is entitled to have a fair trial of jurors who don't go in with a preconceived notion about his guilt and the judge has said that anyone who says i can't be fair, they'll just simply be excused, which will make the process take a long time. but will result one hopes and a fair trial, right? >> and you hope of course, if people give honest answers to all of these things, this isn't an odd moment in america. >> ben, what stands out to you as you >> look through this and interesting on the places where you get your news. i mean, sure, newsmax is on their msnbc. you've got all the but but then x tiktok, all of it, all of it is here, ben yeah, it is all there and it's designed to obviously to try and get it
4:07 pm
with people are believing. i do think it's noteworthy that the judge centered his cover letter that the two sides had not agreed on the jury instructions so that anticipates something we probably all knew alon, which is there going to be appeals on this, that there will be kind of station over the jury selection process and you're right, it is going to take an awfully long time. >> it's police said weeks. all right. put a pin in the appeals and the time it takes for one second. instead, just going through this, what stands out to you, it's interesting. they even go so far as to say, have you read certain books and listen to certain podcasts? >> yeah. i mean, i think it shows the painstaking process, the legal process goes through to make sure you weed out. folks have bias, but that my political head to on and those that donald trump, no matter what the processes is very, very light. actually going to say to this bias against him, no matter what, as he has been doing this whole time, they've had pretty much the same set of goals since these indictments
4:08 pm
came down last year to obscure the facts and also to delay this for long enough so that it starts blending in with him and the political calendar over the summer. the mere fact that we are talking about the hush money case and not the january 6 cases, the trial that's going going first was considered a victory for the trump folks. they wanted this case to kind of go for anything. easier to the folks have actually ingested the facts here, but i think that as this comes on, we do see polling say that maybe people will change their opinion if a conviction comes or as the election gets a little closer. so all of this case may not be the same in terms of severity substantively as the other ones. i don't think we should put it to the side and assume that doesn't matter for voters. >> all right, so here what's the timing we're looking at here? you presume, interestingly, they didn't agree on the jury instructions, i guess so few things. is that normal and how long do you think if trump appeals that? what does that do to this six-day start? does anything changed including his last-ditch effort for of cheat? change of venue today? sure. i don't think anything is let me put this way. i don't think anything should change it. the fact that the parties didn't agree on the questions to put
4:09 pm
to the jury is very common typically, each side, the government and the defense, they make proposals in the judge picks between pick some from one and some from the other to do what he thinks is fair now, you can always appeal anything but typically the way it's done is not as you go, it's done after final judgment. so if trump challenges these questions or challenges, venue or anything else, it's not that he doesn't have a chance to challenge it. he will on appeal after a conviction if he's not convicted, there does it basically say that the conviction itself, if it happened? since is biased? >> that's right. therefore, should be thrown out. that's right. any legal error that he identifies, he'll be allowed to appeal at the end of the case. >> all right. so ben, what do you think happens here and does any of this in your mind add up to changing where this case goes in six days. and also if you could weigh in on how what's the timing error if it's going to take us week thanks to even get a jury selected before you get an initial verdict >> i think paul was right about
4:10 pm
the time it is going to take it is going to take a matter of weeks. given everything in this case and the holidays so it is going to be a prolonged period as for the substance of this case, i think this is the weakest of the cases that have been brought against trump. and there are gonna be legal points in here in which trump actually has a pretty good argument but it's also true that this case is going to present a series of not so flattering facts about an instances that took place in this and that does stand to very much harnesses reputation. no matter what the outcome of the case is and how long the appeals which is interesting i said, because we are talking about things that have been very well litigated in the court of public opinion, right? whether people care that, whether trump's slept with a porn star, people have opinions on that that were set prior to the first election. >> absolutely. i mean, we actually win. i talked to people about this case. they
4:11 pm
feel like it's old moos. i mean, as we talked to the folks across the country, people bring up the fact that he hasn't been criminally indicted about january 6. and looking at the special prosecutor, even things like taking the documents, cut through because of the mar-a-lago search, when we think about this case specifically, every time i've heard someone bring this up, it's kind of a confusion as to why this has been relitigate it right now, i think that should be separate from that kind of legal questions pc here, but politically trump is going to try to use that to his vantage. what we ask about why these appeals are happening, some of it is because he wants to be able to make the political argument in a public arena about them. so they may fail and they might delay the trial. all of that is a possibility, but we know he's going to try to use it to weaponize it against the process itself. >> and harry, you're in terms of when you look at the georgia attempts to delay on fani willis, which a failed thus far. and again, in this case, do you anticipate both of those going ahead? >> i do think that that trial we'll go ahead the grounds that were argued for the appeal about this being free speech. that seems like a real long shot. you're not allowed to say anything that you want
4:12 pm
that's not what the first amendment protects. and i thought the judge's decision about whether to disqualify the district attorney seemed like a balanced decision, saying that she couldn't have this one particular lawyer working on the case due to the appearance, but not disqualifying her entire office, which is a drastic step, >> and as said, quick final word to you in terms of paying for all this trump's trying to raise money and have other people pay for it. but to the extent that he's had to pay for some things himself, even some of the judgments in the manhattan real estate valuation case is net worth has been affected and you've done a deep dive on that >> what have you found, >> especially in light of truth social, which is now like the lion's share of his net wealth worth for a brief moment, even though it may be f mural to say least, right? >> exactly. last week we focused on trump's finances for our podcast and vote came through, is really this is the person doing it, extreme juggling act. and so the money has dwindled these using to pay for other people, other people's funds that pocket the money has gone away. so you might have to further into those personal funds to basically be able to pay for the legal expenses coming
4:13 pm
forward, you have to judgment. certainly hey, you have the legal trial. certainly. you also have a political campaign that is bleeding dry. the biden campaign is raising so much more money than donald trump. and partially that is because his money is tied up in five different places right now, so much so that it's not just the brand that's being affected. it actually his ability to legally his ability to actually do the things he wants to do politically and personally all right, now, which is a huge thing to actually say, it's in the past, he always had that ability. it was always didn't want to use his own my now a very different story that you paint. all right i said, thank you, harry. thank you, ben. thank you. great to see all of you. and next, a spectacular show from texas to maine, a rare solar eclipse turning day into night for millions now cars lined up for miles because guess what, it's time to go home. these are live pictures outside of indianapolis, which was in the path of totality plus marjorie taylor greene live in georgia at a town hall where she's tripling down on calling for speech there. mike johnson's head, how the fringe congresswoman is growing ever more powerful in the gop tonight. plus a top staffer for

eruptions of plasma happening as it son's cycles through its most active phase solar storms have the potential to destroy satellites and fry entire electrical grids. so scientists are hungry for clues that could help predict space, weather so amazing, >> though soc when you look at some of the things they're trying to do and nasa has a moment like this to observe what were they trying to learn? >> well the. power of this star that really gives us life it lists or moods, tanzer, skin, but it's also a thermonuclear bomb that's been going on for and billion years. and on an angry de, it emits enough electrical power, enough energy from those spasms in the plasma that could really fry the electrical grid here on earth are really wreck havoc with our satellite systems they keep us connected through gps and
4:22 pm
weather and finances. so they're studying that, they're studying the ionosphere, the charged particles that sort of crackle around the earth sun comes up. i now, and it's just that artificial shade that science enjoyed today. let's them study stuff that normally you can't see because the sun is so bright. also, an amateur radio operators ham radio operators bouncing their signals off the ionosphere to see how it's altered by this. but what a de, of just pure human connection, whether you're an astrophysicist or a seventh grader you can see faces light up. most people saw it despite warnings of cloud cover all in all, a nice nonpartisan uniting force of nature across america. and the next one, to give good aaron toddlers today will be old enough to drink for the next total eclipse. in the united states, 22 years from now. >> wow >> that's just something sobering. think about >> indented. all right.
4:23 pm
>> thank you very much. >> and i want to go now to >> former nasa astronaut mike mess amino who is traveled to space twice. also the author of moonshot and nasa astronauts guide to achieving the impossible. so my people traveled from all over the country to be in the path of totality. and i know people who travel around the world constantly looking for these things. you know that there's something spiritual about it, something that touches the soul. >> you made >> the journey from new york to run seville arc can saw to go to one of the best viewing spots in the country. and you shared some of your images from today with us. tell me what what did it mean to you >> earn it was it was amazing. i have gotten to see some amazing things during my space flights, but i would say this is the most amazing event that i've witnessed here on the planet as far as our relationship with the cause most in our being here on this planet and how we are part of this cosmic dance between the
4:24 pm
sun and the moon and the stars this was quite an event and it was the totality of it. i seen other partial eclipses, but this was the first good weather total eclipse that i had been able to observe and to see that a diamond ring that it looked like a halo in the sky. it was emotional and to be there with some of my family members and with a very nice community made it even more special. >> i'll never forget it. i've only seen >> one total eclipse. i saw it today, but i was not in the exact totality i've only seen one in my life stumbled upon it and unforgettable day in my life, but you, mike, this is the thing when you say the most incredible thing you've seen in array, you have seen some of the most amazing things that human can see. in fact, that so few humans have seen spaceflight. you shared images with us, but that's not the same as being there yourself, right? for spacewalks you were compelled to travel 1,300 miles for the eclipse from the upper one westside manhattan where you still would have had a pretty darn good. you just barely outside the path of totality yeah.
4:25 pm
>> so what made it worth it >> well, i had heard that getting to totality is a big difference. them even seeing like 99%. yeah, and i had heard this from sources that i trust and they arise. are you really was different. it was the whole thing was kinda cool to see the moon current ban and the sun gets, gets eaten away little by little like a pac-man. and then when it goes and you can remove your glasses again and it's dark and it's cool. and you're looking up at an astonishing sight. it's something about it that no photo can really do it justice. it's being in that moment and noticing that in real life, this is something that only happens if you said it's not going to happen again here in the are 22 years and you're witnessing it for a few minutes it is worth the trip. it really is, and i'm so glad i did so >> one of this thing and i guess this and other events recently all in their own different ways, whether it be earthquake or crazy weather have made us all realize how
4:26 pm
vulnerable we are, right? how things happen outside of our control especially in the context now, we worry so much about the environment and climate change one of the things bill mentioned in his report right? there was a point in some places where the temperature dropped as much as ten degrees during the eclipse. so in just a few quick moments now we all feel that when a cloud goes over the sun, and yet somehow experiencing it in the context of what we saw today was quite different. >> i mean, >> that's an incredibly it's an incredibly large and swift a change in temperature it's a reminder of how dynamic and fragile things are, i think because when we said and when it gets cloudy >> out, it's a lot diffent than when the sun is shining on us, but it's really the same reason during the eclipse, it's just that less solar radiation is reaching the surface and reaching us. so it's cooler. we feel a cooler temperature with it's the moon blocking the sun. it perfectly blocks it. the moon.
4:27 pm
>> the side is 400 times larger than our moon, and it's also coincidentally 400 times further away than our moon. so that when we get a total eclipse, like we had today, it perfectly blocks it out so that we're seeing a total blackout for those minutes. of of of that reduction in solar radiation. and that's why we get that huge temperature drop. we see the effect of what the sun does to us and how fragile that can be when it's blocked. >> yeah. i mean, what an amazing thing when you save 400 times larger, 400 times farther away, even in the context of the billions and trillions, whatever. there's no word for the number of stars out there just to think of the odds of such a perfect ratio coming even in the context of our sadly average little son that does give us everything. >> all right. thanks so much, mike. i appreciate it. >> but thank you. >> next republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene's war with their own party heating up tonight, threatening to house the house speaker for and blow up the house if she does not get her way

that she has this much? power in the house of representatives >> well, marjorie has as much power because we have such a small majority at this point in time mike johnson, the speaker, is on the right side of history and marjorie is on the wrong side of history. we know that russia is propagating these false statements narratives about what's going on in ukraine. we know that she is getting her talking points from russia and we know that they're false and mike johnson is doing the responsible thing by trying to make sure we get a vote on ukraine funding, make sure that ukrainian people can fight for their freedom. >> the >> fact that the marjorie is continuing now and this false bath, i don't think many republicans are going to support her. there will be some and i expect that the democrats recognize this moment in history and the importance of being bipartisan in supporting my johnson while we will see that that's a whole another can of worms, i guess as we
4:38 pm
could say, but it congressman, she has >> been going after speaker johnson over ukraine funding, obviously specifically, but then she just recently suggested to tucker carlson something that took me aback. she had no evidence to back it up, but she said ed, that the whole reason that he may be doing this is because johnson maybe being blackmailed. let me just play the exchange >> mike johnson has made a complete departure of who he is and what he stands for and to the point where people are literally asking, is he blackmailed? what is wrong with him because he he's completely disconnected with what we want >> do you think he is being blackmailed >> i have no idea >> all right. so she's saying people are literally asking you to being black. melvin says she has no idea when tucker asked her again do you take this seriously >> no. i think it's irresponsible as so many of the statements that marjorie has
4:39 pm
made over the years are completely irresponsible. the idea that somehow the speaker is corrupt because he believes that we should be supporting an ally that spin invaded by a war criminal, vladimir putin. >> and the >> idea that somehow anybody who is in agreement with ukraine and our nato allies is corrupt it's just another distraction that she uses to take away from the core arguments that are so important so when you talk about her, it is, it is a bit different obviously then what the man you voted to remove as speaker kevin mccarthy said about are in fact this weekend, he said this about congresswoman green the one i have always found about margery. she's a very serious legislator that deals with policy and the best way to deal with anyone like that is sit down and talk to him. >> you've worked with or more recently, did what he say add up to you at all and well i
4:40 pm
think kevin is much more experienced talking to marjorie about policy than i do first of all, secondly, my experience with marjorie is people have talked to her about not filing articles of impeachment on president biden before he was sworn into office on not filing articles of impeachment that were groundless. beit on other individuals and the biden administration. and she was never moved by that. she was always focused on her social media account and moscow, marjorie is focused now on this ukraine issue and getting are talking points from the kremlin and making sure that she is popular and she is getting a lot of coverage all right. >> well, congressman, i appreciate your time and your blunt non his words. thank you very much. i appreciate it, sir >> thank you. >> next, we've got breaking news. the special counsel, jack smith has just filed a brief with the supreme court on trump's immunity claims. we are just getting that now. it's at the heart of the doj's election interference case. we're gonna share it

long ship, you will spend less time getting there and more time being that viking exploring the world in comfort >> the source with kaitlan collins tonight at nine breaking news we have a new filing. this is >> just in from the special >> counsel, jack smith, and it is a filing to the supreme court urging them to reject trump's claims of sweeping immunity. and an effort to try to stop the former president from further delaying his january 6 trial. paula reid is up front and washington and paula 50 some odd page's going through. you've read a chance to read more of it than i have, but point by his argument as to why trump is not immune from prosecution because things he committed are crimes that he allegedly committed while he was in office exactly >> here. they are urging the supreme court to reject trump's argument that he should be immune from prosecution for things he did
4:46 pm
in and around january 6 and efforts to subvert the election because he has presidential immunity. this is an argument that was rejected by the trial court. it was she rejected by the court of appeals. here, the supreme court is taking it up. it will be the subject of a much anticipated supremeourt argument next week. no here they make arguments. they say the special counsel says, quote, the absence of any prosecutions of former president's until this case does not reflect the understanding that presidents are immune from criminal liability. it instead underscores the unprecedented nature of petitioners alleged conduct. they described the charges against him, aaron, as quote, an unprecedented assault on the structure of our government. so here they are asking the court to reject this argument and to do it quickly. >> yeah. i mean, it's interesting and as they go through, as you point out it saying that nixon's acceptance of a pardon was also making it clear that he felt that there needed to be a pardon because he was subject to prosecution for acts he committed during watergate while he was in
4:47 pm
office. so going through and laying all of this out, ultimately, though, paula as you point out, this is the arguments are supposed to be next week >> this is >> all about timing, right? >> yeah. and lift the special counsel has to be frustrated because aaron months ago, he asked the supreme court to just step in and decide this issue. don't wait for it to go through the appellate court and then take it up because he knew that process could potentially make it impossible to bring this case before the november elections. supreme court declined to do that. they let it go forward with an appeal. now they are hearing this on an expedited basis, but we still don't expect it opinion right now until late june. and then even though judge tanya chutkan, the judge overseeing this case, has said she would move pretty quickly. she would like to bring this as soon as possible. she still has to give both sides some time, perhaps a few months to prepare. so we're talking about late summer at the earliest. so timing is such a critical issue here. the trump team is even floated the
4:48 pm
idea that maybe they could just toss it back down to the lower courts port for more proceedings. again, that would necessarily be a win for them, but it would be a win in terms of this goal of getting it pushed back until after the election. and i remind people the reason he wants to push back until after the election, because if trump is reelected, he will make both of these cases go away. >> all right, paula, thank you very much as paul continues to go through that, she'll be back. i've she sees more for you to know about this also comes tonight as vice president, harris is slamming trump, the former president, ties to big announcement on abortion but the takeaway was just to put it to the states. harris is warning that trump would go much farther to restrict abortion rights though if given the chance >> if you were to be put back in a position where he can sign off on a law. he would sign off on a national abortion ban. let's be very clear about that. >> what trump's decision coming nearly two years after the supreme court overturned roe v. wade, also criticized by many republicans who are
4:49 pm
demanding a national abortion ban today as well out front. now alabama's state representative, marilyn lands, she's a democrat who recently flipped to republican held district after taking abortion rights head on including by opening up and talking about about the abortion that she went through more than 20 years ago. i appreciate your time, representative land, so there are some may republicans say, they say trump punted. why would he punt this to the states? he should have gone back to 15 week abortion ban others, of course, wish he would go much farther on the republican side. but you think that what trump said today? by punting it to the states is even more dangerous. how come >> well i'm finding liberal solace in this today and i know my constituents. i've talked to so many women and families and they are fed up and i just i feel like alabama has become ground zero for attacks on women's health care and reproductive freedom. and i think my victory sent a real
4:50 pm
message, not just to our state, but to the country that this is unacceptable. >> trump. in his announcement today about where he's going to fall on this at least for now it gave a four-minute video, and among other things, he also said this representative it must be remembered that the democrats or the radical ones on this position, because they support abortion up to and even >> beyond the ninth month. the concept of having an abortion. and the later months and even execution after birth. and that's exactly what it is. the baby's born the baby is executed after birth is unacceptable and almost everyone agrees with that >> no, you're sort of recoiling even listening to that representative. what do you what do you say to someone like trump who is talking about executing that doesn't happen. and what i say is that we need to return to roe versus wade,
4:51 pm
that, you know, that held us for 50 years and the government just does not need to be involved in these heartbreaking decisions. it's just not a place for government. it's it's people's private medical decisions and it should be between a woman, her family, and her doctor and her god >> so what i want to ask you about this though, that maybe goes a little bit contrary to how some see it, but i just want to open the door to this you have some republicans publicly criticizing trump for not going far enough that he supported a national ban. mike pence, who's said he won't even be able to vote for trump is calling it a slap in the face. an anti-abortion groups as they're deeply disappointed. lindsey graham is upset some of his loyalists, but you know, of course represented voters have shown even in red states like kansas and ohio, your state with your life section that they support abortion rights. so are you worried that trump may muddy the waters on abortion assume that he's got the far right
4:52 pm
already going to back him. and that this position to go for states rights may make him more palatable to other voters that this could affect what a winning issue this is for democrats i think that what i found in my election is that i had a lot of republicans support >> and i feel like people are really fed up and they're ready for change, their ready for something different and i feel like the republicans they're very confused on this at the moment. and i know my opponent, you know wouldn't come out and talk about it. i think they're missing the mark here. i think they're out of touch. >> all right. well, representative lands, i appreciate your time and thank you so much for being with me tonight. next here what a top rfk junior staffer is telling republicans whether you support bobby or trump. >> we all oppose biden liberty

her uncle's unhappy. i'm sensing an underlying issue. it's t-mobile. it started when we tried to get him under a new plan. but they they unexpectedly unraveled their “price lock” guarantee. which has made him, a bit... unruly. you called yourself the “un-carrier”. you sing about “price lock” on those commercials. “the price lock, the price lock...” so, if you could change the price, change the name! it's not a lock, i know a lock. so how can we undo the damage? we could all unsubscribe and switch to xfinity. their connection is unreal. and we could all un-experience this whole session. okay, that's uncalled for.

4:58 pm
gets it's into office. do you think he'll be better on gaza >> champ would probably say flattens gaza and make it into a golf course. >> i >> have absolutely no faith in him. would you not say that all so the people who are not voting for one of the two people who are the likely people to really be in this race have a role to play in kind of giving the race to donald trump? in a state like georgia where it's going to be like razor thin >> i'll do you one better actually, i think that just means that's why the democrats should listen exactly >> radical and more tapped in than their peers is how the group describes themselves rokia, even helping to organize this demonstration in atlanta last october, calling for peace and aid for the palestinian people while they don't speak for the majority of black voters, they're descent poses a real concern for democrats in battleground states like georgia, where biden won by fewer than 12,000 votes black voters under age 30 made up
4:59 pm
only about 6% of voters in georgia in 2020, that group voted for joe biden by more than 50 points. >> we are holding there election in the palm of our hands and they're not listening >> we're tired of just hearing him say these things, these empty promises. we have no trust and joe biden, the republican party isn't earning their vote either both sides or just iga >> nothing is being done for us. >> if enough people vote third party, we can win. that's my thoughts. >> president biden's can campaign has touted his success on key issues affecting young voters, including student loan forgiveness, lowering unemployment, and tackling inflation >> still though, i don't feel it people may be employed, but can they survive off of what the federal minimum wage has stayed the same since 2009. i was five and 2009, i'm 20 years old now well, i work at goodwill now for 12 cause an hour cost of living keeps increasing, especially here >> what could president biden as h you vote in november ar
