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.

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

[applause] good evening and welcome to Business Insider 2020 primary debate, im the politics editor anthonyfisher. And im linette lopez. Tonight we will hear from two republicans challenging President Donald Trump for their partys nomination in 2020. Former Massachusetts Governor bill weld and former illinois congressman joe walsh. Business insiders committed to providing candidates of both parties an opportunity to speak with voters and consider ideas and perspectives that dont fit in red or blue boxes. The candidates will answer questions on economics, immigration, climate, Foreign Policy and americas deepening political divide.

Senator, welcome. Good to be here. Incredible american tradition on both sides of the aisle to have an experience like this. Im grateful for the afternoons talk about values that are most important in this country right now, and to bring this together and the lines that divide us are not a strong is the ones that bind us. Science and technology, healthcare, climate change. We need to Start Building a new american majority. News broke when i was speaking and i had three minutes to read through some top lines. My Immediate Reaction is these revelations in the whistleblower report are explosive and they are deeply sobering and a sad day for america that we would see a president of the United States and the highest office of the land so raleigh use his power not for National Security or the strength of our economy, not defense, under attack by the russians, but seek to withhold Critical Resources in order to further his own personal political agenda. It is despicable behavior. We are seein
