The place where joe biden was applauded by grateful people from around the world. It is a dangerous place. That is the title of daniel patrick moynihan s book about his service as ambassador to the united nations in the 1970s before new york voters elected him to four terms in the senate, where i went to work for him in the 1990s.

Ambassador moynahan served at the height of the cold where when the united states and soviet union had missiles aimed at each other and ready to launch in seconds.

Very excited for you to see about it and now it s time for the last word with lawrence o donnell. We have senator whitehouse joining us tonight after the black buster blockbuster reporting on what is going on inside the supreme court with the chief justices and this is reporting like we have never seen before about how they arrived at that immunity decision. That reporting was based on source documents that don t exist in journalism.
