for me for now. but now, it s time for the guy who i ve been talking about for the last few minutes. now, it s time for the last word with lawrence o donnell. good evening, lawrence. good evening, rachel. and thank you for that. we taped this interview with the white house negotiating team in the room where it happened today. and i could still be there. i could listen. i could listen for hours on end, all of the details of what they went through. and the degree of the difficulty of what they were dealing with is so much greater than anything that i was ever exposed to or involved with when i was working in the senate on similar issues. look, i just can t believe how we had compared to this team. this is a story, and that was an interview opportunity that resonates on you like somebody put the world s biggest tuning fork on you. it goes right to the heart and soul of what you know best in the whole world. it s so good. and we are starting tonight with neal katyal and and
end. then, nikki haley fanning the culture war flames. a fact check on what she said over the weekend. and apple debuting a 3500 dollar headset. but is there more to this? with just a hefty price tag, as the 11th hour gets underway on this monday night. good monday evening. i am stephanie ruhle, with a lot of news to cover tonight. and the special counsel s investigation into donald j trump s handling of classified documents appears to be at equivocal stage. and i know i ve said that to you before, but this time, i really think it s different. this morning, three members of trump s legal team went to the justice department to meet with the one and only jack smith. remember, just two weeks ago, trump s lawyers sent an official letter to attorney general merrick garland asking for a chance to make their case. the attorney general was not at today s meeting, we don t know everything that was discussed. but the washington post reports this, people familiar with the matter
we ll see you again tomorrow. now it is time for the last word with lawrence o donnell. good evening, lawrence. good evening, alex. so we are on to the united states senate, where things might take a while, because of the fact that the amendments are allowed, as you pointed out. but it is pretty clear that chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell are going to get this thing through the senate intact. they sure are. it s clear that tim kaine has a lot of, he is wounded, i think, in many ways, by the way the white house put the mountain valley pell plane in the steel. but it sounds lake the democrats believe they need to be the adult in the room and set aside the personal concerns and ultimately say yes to something they never wanted to be part of to begin with. well, democrats, of course, have the curse of responsibility. yeah. they are the responsibility party. the other party is the not serious party, and so democrats frequently found themselves casting difficult votes in
on the tail, on this particular one, a cardinal, a symbol to many that a past loved one is there. she literally looks like a little angel. and that s what her grandparents had written on the note. a note that reminds us to discover humanity in ordinary places, and in that, we all may find a little grace. katie beck, nbc news, tampa. safe travels little grace kelly. and on that very beautiful note, i wish you all a very good night. thinking about chris murphy and that spiritual renaissance we all needed. f our colleagues across the networks of nbc news, thanks for staying up late. i ll see you at the end of tomorrow. well, if you re wondering who won the debt ceiling deal, the proof is in the vote in the house of representatives. the total vote was 314 in favor, 117. opposed 165 democrats voted for it, 149 republicans voted for it. 71 republicans voted against it, and only 46 democrats voted against it. more democrats supported this bill than republicans, because this
allowed, as you pointed out. but it s pretty clear that chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell are going to get this thing through the senate intact. they sure are. it s clear that tim kaine has a lot of his wounded, i think in many ways, by the way the white house put the mountain valley pipeline in the steel. but it sounds like the democrats need to be the adult in the room and set aside their personal concerns and ultimately say yes to something they never wanted to be a part of to begin with. democrats, of course, have the curse of responsibility. yeah. they are the responsibility party. the other party is the not serious party, and so, democrats frequently find themselves casting difficult votes in order to do the larger responsible thing. to save the u.s. economy. as hakeem jeffries said, team normal versus team extreme. correct. and i think you will see that on a bumper sticker somewhere in washington, d.c.. correct, thank you, alex. have a good show. th
