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. Wolensky and, you know, youve been talking to the white house Chief Of Staff ron klain, and andy slavitt has been on chris show. Being able to talk to the peopl
The issues and you know how to follow up and press them on it. But it is just being able to interview dr. Fauci and dr. Wolensky and, you know, youve been talking to the white house Chief Of Staff ron klain, and andy slavitt has been on chris show. Being able to talk to the people who are making decisions about the decisions theyre making particularly when the decisions are causing consternation like this issue of teachers not having to be vaccinated before schools reopen. Its just Night And Day in terms of actually understanding the governments take and being able to press them where they need to be pressed. I think everyone knows that it was a trick question. That, of course, theres no way rachel is going to find a way to do less homework for her show. Thats just not gonna happen. Work is a force that gives life meaning. Thats true. Thats true. For you, for you. Thank you, rachel. Thank you, lawrence. Thank you. Well, our first guest tonight was in the room today when the president a
she s a supremely confident great reporter. clearly, she s being treated by a different standard by a lot of these republicans. i think that will not go unnoticed here. jeffrey, to me, it s still a little bit shocking that you don t understand the difference here. it s one thing to criticize somebody. it s another thing to say that the reason why someone asked you a tough question is because they were on their period. it is abundantly clear let him finish, jeffrey. you said a moment ago that chris wallace let him finish. he said that after he talked about megyn kelly and trying to cover up because i think donald trump even knew i m about to get in trouble for saying that she was on her cycle and so i need to bring another name in here to cover my rear end. donald trump s not an idiot. he knew he overstepped.
they re going to talk about. they could very well avoid the iran deal and not get into the controversy and the politics of that. if they say something about the deal, it could give an indication whether benjamin netanyahu has swayed them against the deal. and president obama is now defending controversial remarks he made about the iran deal. his comments outraged both democrats and republicans when he spoke earlier this week at american university, linking republicans to hardliners in iran. fareed zacaria sat down with president obama. in your speech at american university, you made a comparison. you said hardliners were making common cause with republicans. what i said is absolutely true factually. the truth of the matter is
he s here to make statements. i think that was crossing a line. i wasn t excited to see donald trump. we had already planned on missing his part of the presentation. i think that s the general consensus of the people today that are here. he s not the favorite candidate from what i can tell. he s not my favorite candidate. i m happy about it. he crossed the line. before i admired him for his out spokenness. but he took it to an unprecedented level which was inappropriate. i m starting to lose respect for him. donald trump has said if i m treated nicely and fairly, i ll stay within the republican party. if he goes all the way through to iowa. there are still republicans in the field in new hampshire, in
