Times that has just been reverberating for me when he said only 11, that there were only 11 republicans who voted against the statements of Congresswoman Greene today in the House Of Representatives. And he was so disappointed in that, that 199 voted to support everything shes ever said. You know it was i think theres a thread to pullon, though, with the break down of those numbers. With 3 of those 11 being the 3 republican members of the house from South Florida all of whom were contacted by parkland families saying stand with us and not with her, please. For our kids, our families for what weve been through and all 3 of the south Florida Republicans did that. There is something there thats powerful in terms of what those families have been able to do to turn their grief and loss into something constructive for the country and also to use it to force people to confront the humanity behind these issues. And it is Fred Gutenberg is an incredible spokesman for what he believes but theres
Former Vice President mike pence will join the organization as a distinguished Visiting Fellow Pt what exactly is that job . What exactly is he going to do there . Its kind of beside the point. But heritage is very excited to have him. Working together with the former Vice President , heritage will continue to support and defend our Policy Accomplishments while also fighting back against a socialist agenda pushed by those on the left. Thats what mike pence is going to be doing. Hes going to be fighting socialists. Full timish. On a visiting basis. Congratulations, mr. Pence. Heres an unexpectedly awkward thing, though. The Heritage Foundation in this announcement today repeatedly describes their new hire as the former Vice President and, indeed, mr. Pence yesterday unveiled new letterhead proclaiming that he has opened an office now which he is calling the office of the former Vice President. The reason that is surprisingly awkward right now is that no matter what he does with his post
Now its time for The Last Word with lawrence odonnell. Good evening, lawrence. Good evening, rachel. So im wondering is this more or less homework for you . Because back when you couldnt get the cdc director you would still have to do stories about it, and youd have to try to figure out certain things that were not easily apparent. Tonight you could actually go into that interview not knowing the answers to the questions because youre going to get actual answer tuesday the questions. Well, the thing that i mean the thing that changes that you dont have to anticipate what the interviewee is going to say, what they think or what was their motivation because you can ask them directly. But you still need to know about the issues and you know how to follow up and press them on it. It is just being able to interview dr. Fauci and dr.

Well timed. That is how it landed. A book about the Oil And Gas Industry and a big chunk of the book was about the craziness and the corruption in the ukraine. Then it was the playing field. I didnt intend it to land it that way. Well, now of course mr. Trump is being impeached for a second time. And it is kind of uncanny, a lot of the things that i wrote about in the book that came out in the first trump impeachment. The whole reason that i wrote the book is because we were consistently underestimating the sway of this one industry. How much sway it has over politicals and governments here and around the world. I thought there was a need for a explainer and how the industry could explain. If something is happening that does not make sense on the surface it helps to look at the industry and see if they are maybe The Hidden Hand, when politics fail or governments are bad. This is a place to look. One thing to say here is the hidden power that is making it possible or impossible and call
