Good evening, lawrence. Alex, i just wasted an hour of my life. Dont know. What . Thats what i shouldve done. Hould have watched your show. I thought it was my job to watch the Trump Town Hall moderated by Sean Hannity. I could have told you. On another channel. So, it is the town hall, you know, harrisburg, pennsylvania, filled with people ready to ask their questions. Not a single Audience Question in the entire hour because, you know, the out of control rambling, incoherent answers went on forever, Sean Hannity he has to talk about Hannibal Lector and sharks. Sean hannity is promising the audience that the Audience Questions
investigation. also this morning, we are on the ground following a growing humanitarian crisis on the southern border. as the secretary of homeland security heads to the border in anticipation of a mass influx of migrants. border towns looking for answers, migrants looking for help. are you desperate? i m very desperate she tells us. i don t have anything to eat. we have people sleeping on our streets. this isn t sustainable. it s not normal. please help us, and enough with the politics of it. and new controversy with justice clarence thomas. first it was reporting about luxury trips and yachts and a real estate deal, and now propublica has new reporting about a billionaire gop donor paying private school tuition for a thomas relative. i ll talk to the reporter behind that story, how that donor is responding and the larger ethical questions it s raising. but we begin with the suspect in a georgia mass shooting in custody this morning as we learn more about the inves
