governor dupont announced the state of delaware was bankrupt and delaware's credit rating fell to the lowest. i was 29 years old and thought, what do i do now? even though i didn't know a lot about cash management, the end of the story is a pretty good one. woe may not -- we may not have known a lot about cash management, but what we did have fortunately on our side was a new governor who quickly put together a talented team to turn our state around and he asked me, a democrat of all things, to become part of the team. less than four years later delaware's credit rating was about to be raised to aa, after being at the bottom. the governor asked me, of all people, to announce to the world that our credit rating was being raised to aa. following that, the announcement got a lot of attention, but in the regularly scheduled election, the people of delaware elected me to serve as their lone congressman and the rest is history. what lessons might we all take from this? for me one lesson is that our elected leaders surround themselves with the best people they can find. another lesson, in ad

i also remember how i felt as i walked into this room as delaware's congresswoman. humbled, honored, and hopeful. because to borrow the words of the musical "hamilton" t this is the room where it happens. it's where legislators have consigned to debate ideas and uphold ideals. it's where we have heard legendary speeches from presidents, world leaders, and influential past and present members of this body. it's where gannett rank -- jeanette rankin became the first woman of congress only after a month long debate on whether a woman was fit for the job. it's where i got to serve with luminaries like john lewis. it's where landmark legislation was passed from the civil rights act to the affordable care act, to the bipartisan infrastructure law. this is the room where we, the people, have forged america's future. the first time the house of representatives used this room was on december 16, 1857, 167 years ago, almost to this very day. it was also the year the supreme court ruled black americans were not citizens under the law. so 167 years later, i stand here the first

a delaware judge just blocked elon musk's $56 billion tesla pay package.ia hu with us this morning. what happens now? >> well, stuart, as you point out always seems like the lawyers win because tesla says they're going to appeal and more work for the law lawyers and tea posted this on x after that decision "the court's decision is wrong and we're going to appeal the ruling if not overturn meaning that judges and plaintiffs lawyers run delaware companies rather than their rightful owners, the shareholders". stuart, this is the second time the delaware judge decided to strike down elon musk compensation package. tesla shareholders approve that package for musk six years ago. at that time, the company was worth around $60 billion and shareholders wanted mussing to focus on growth and they -- musk to focus on growth and decided to tie compensation to performance and stock options only if tesla hit a market cap of $650 billion. at that time, no one really expected him to do it, but he did and did it sooner than what was expected and 2.6 billion and value spiked

first, in the delaware, where he was convicted of three charges gun related charges. he's facing 17 years, possibly in that case, jessica. and then in los angeles. he was also set to be sentenced later this month on tax evasion charges those carry a sentence of up to 25 years. so this with this with this signing of this, of this pardon. president biden is resolving all of those things, things that have hung over hunter's head really for about six years. >> right. and evan, i know you covered those trials. and as you note the sentencing was was about to get underway. and that december 12th, very much a key date. and it was likely based on talking to others and legal experts that he was going to be sentenced to prison time. >> yeah. look, i mean, part of the problem here was that i think as elie honig was describing a while ago is that, you know, these cases are a little unusual. you don't see a lot of them in the federal system. not certainly the gun charges. you don't see it unless there is some other aggravating factor for instance, you know, if you're if someone die

and the personal front, the sentencing was scheduled in delaware on december 12th and in california one holiday season is one of mixed emotions for the biden family, december 18th is the anniversary of the accident that hunter was seriously injured in, in 1972, as a two-year-old, his mother was killed and his baby sister also killed and his brother was seriously injured. that anniversary is a very sacred time and i think the confluence of the sentencing in the middle of that was adding to the emotion of the moment, emotion that was very visible when we heard from the president and first lady earlier today, when they talked about losing loved ones and the pain never really goes away.>> mike memoli, thank you. we will be right back. all aboard! come with me to meet the wizard. why couldn't possibly. this is your moment. i'm coming. if you think that's something to see, wait til you see this. ♪ ♪ you're good. -very good. >> joining me now with more on breaking news, denver recommend , i want to read again, this posting from donald trump on his social media platform, he asks, does the pard

he went through his trial in delaware there was another case in los angeles.lly the culmination of president biden really making the decision tonight to sign a pardon for his son, hunter, not just a commutation of a possible sentence but a pardon which certainly will be part of president biden's legacy going forward. >> yeah, there's no doubt about it. and as i'm reading this along with you, jeff, i think one part at the very end is particularly striking, which is where he says i have followed a simple principle just tell the american people the truth. they'll be fair minded. and here's the truth. i believe in the justice system, but as i have wrestled with this, i also believe raw politics has infected this process. and it led to a miscarriage of justice and once i made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further i hope americans will understand why a father and a president would come to this decision it is interesting to also hear him saying, essentially, that the justice system was politicized, which is something we've heard from r

musk is not entitled to a tesla pay award of $56 billion — that's according to a second ruling by a delawareourt confirming an earlier decision this year. it comes after months of legal wrangling and despite the pay award being approved by shareholders and directors in the summer. judge kathaleen mccormick has argued that tesla's board members were too heavily influenced by mr musk. tesla has posted a statement on mr musk�*s own social media platform x, saying: mr musk himself said: for more background on this, here's our technology correspondent, lily jamali. this was the one a couple of years ago was contingent on elon musk meeting certain targets, having to do with sales and revenue and the like, those billions of dollars are in stock options so today they are worth quite a bit more than 56 billion, closer to about $100 billion in this ruling today from chancellor mccormick reiterates her ruling from back at the start of the year in january when she found that this pay package is excessive and not only that that the board of directors is not sufficiently independent to approve it, that th
