politics out of politics. the larger moral imperative is to keep dangerous people from controlling our government. the danger in michigan didn t start with john gibbs. the danger in our country was there on january 6th when 139 republicans voted to overturn the election. we re chock full of dangerous people in the congress. the key is whether they control it. that s the larger moral em imperative. we were going to spend 10 or $20 million and probably lose that seat. the big loser here is kevin mccarthy, and he knows it. new york democratic congressman and chair of the dccc, shawn patrick maloney who cruised to victory in his primary last night. thanks for being with us. coming up next, the e-mail sent to former president trump s lawyers in april, the washington post says was a crucial pivot point in the probe of trump s handling of
very much. coming up, an executive at twitter says the company has misled the public in how it protects user information. plus, dan goldman, the lead democrat counsel during president trump s first impeachment trial holding the lead in a crowded democratic field vying for a new york congressional seat. he will be our guest, next. ilbet s just passed a law to lower the cost of medicine. the inflation reduction act lets medicare negotiate lower prices with drug companies for the first time. that s more savings for us.
