time ago trying to guess what people in her position are going to do next. but this is one of those decisions that is soon as you hear it, at least i fell, as soon as i heard it, it made perfect sense. is seemed like, of course,. if you'd asked me two days ago, i would've said i don't know, i have no idea. [laughs] but the second i heard a, yes, that's exactly what she should be doing. >> and it will be really interesting to see a campaign in georgia next year when jon ossoff and raphael warnock or the senators and their. right? they've got a republican legislature. they've got this very, very conservative republican governor who wants to run for reelection, but he's got the whole trump wing of the party against him. a dynamics in georgia are nutty. even just internally within the republican party. but you add in these very interesting, very talented democratic politicians up and down the line, too, and it's going to be the best possible race in the country. and we're gonna spend tons of time covering. >> and senator warnock is gonna be on the ballot. he's gonna be running for reelection. so, you have the two most high-profile races of the year both in georgia. >> yes, with these two unbelievably talented, charismatic, black leaders. who happen to be from the same state. who happen to be at the same generation. who happen to be on the ballot at the same time. but both raphael warnock and stacey abrams our democratic party leaders of national stature. and they are going to be running in that same fish bowl, supporting each other. running hopefully campaigns that are cohesive and mutually beneficial. it's just going to be fascinating to watch. georgia has so much democratic party talent right now. and they're so good at what they've done, they've been so great at registering voters and all the rest of it. but it's in the middle of that maelstrom in terms of trump contesting all the election and going after all the republicans there who didn't help him cheat. it's gotta be crazy. >> and there seems to be something dynamic when they have the two very high-profile races happening at the same time, that seems to add to voter turn out in a way that possibly the single race wouldn't quite reach. wouldn't quite reach >> think about it. if you're a democratic voter in georgia. and you're like, not particularly devoted voter i.d. only turnout for the big races or whatever -- next year, if you have a chance to turn out both for raphael warnock and stacey abrams on the same ballot, you're probably going to turn out. you know what i need? it's like having -- you're on the academy -- motion picture board or whatever it is. people who vote for the oscars. and you're like do you want to vote on bogart or bacall? or do you wanna sit out this year? these are leaving lines. >> rachel maddow on oscar voting. we're gonna have to devote more time to that because i know that's your expertise [laughs] >> i don't even know what the body. ,. . ? this >>,. . >>? >>. already. >>. >>. a >> complaint and total, that. just try to use to describe what's happening, on the republican side of the house of representatives. today, dozens of house democrats called on the republican house leader chemical mccarthy to strip republican congressman lauren boebert, of her committee assignments after making repeated anti-muslim attacks against democratic congressman -- omar. of course, kevin mccarthy remains completely silent. the silence of the coward. in a statement, those democrats say, we refused to stand by as islamophobia anti-black, miss and time sentiment, and xenophobia are trafficked into the halls of congress by members of the republican party. in an exclusive interview yesterday, congresswoman omar told -- many hassan why this rhetoric is so dangerous. >> what i am afraid for, is that this kind of rhetoric is going to get people killed as it has before, and if we do not step it out, and if we do not strongly condemn it, and if we do not come together as a country and say what is happening, and the example that is being set by members of congress, it is wrong, and it is dangerous, then i really am scared for what is to come. >> the anti-muslim attacks have led to infighting among republicans. especially between republican congressman nancy mace and republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene. marjorie taylor greene of course was stripped of her committee assignments for comments that she has made. >> what it says to me is that if you say something that is -- crazy to say something extreme you are going to raise money. that is the only reason she does that. she is day -- of the first order. and she does it to raise money. she takes advantage of vulnerable americans, vulnerable conservatives, and makes promises that you cannot keep. >> republican congressman mace also said this about marjorie taylor greene. she's a grift or, she lies to grift and it's not okay. she is pulling the wool over so many eyes, so many vulnerable people. lying to them like she's fighting for them. >> congresswoman king jeffries, said this, some want more this kevin mccarthy need to see. i mean what more does this guy need to see. he's got marjorie taylor greene, completely out of control. gosar out of control. i'm lauren boebert out of control. they were having a complete and total meltdown. instead of focusing on the problems of the american people, they are attacking each other. some that is not a three-way circus, it's a four-way malignant circus. the so-called leader has no control over what is happening. this morning how speaker nancy pelosi lost her patience when a reporter asked her, and not congressional republicans to explain to american voters why the federal government was this morning facing once again the looming threat of a government shutdown. >> how do they explain to the public that they are shutting down government because they don't want people to get vaccinated. why don't you go ask them. this is so silly. this is so silly that we have people who are anti-science anti-vaccination, saying they will shut down government over that. and they're asking me what is our message. our message is we have to respect governments, and we have to respect science, and that is what we are doing. >> tonight, the shutdown was averted once again when democrats in the house and the senate once again did the responsible thing, and passed legislation to fund the government until february 18th. today, the biden white house announced an aggressive new strategy to fight covid this winter and the new variant has more cases of the new variant were identified today in minnesota, colorado, new york, and hawaii. president biden's plan includes a new campaign to speed up booster shots for all adults once -- vaccination clinics to get more school aged children vaccinated, and also free at home tests that will be covered by private insurers. the administration also announced new protocols for travelers and stirring the united states, wall street journal reports that international travelers coming to the united states will have to test within a day of departure, regardless of vaccination status, rather than the 72 hours currently required by vaccinated travelers, mr. biden said. the new testing rules will take effect on march monday december six at midnight according to said -- airline industry representatives were notified on thursday, the requirements apply to both u.s. citizens and foreign nationals flying into the country. here's president biden today. >> what my plan of announcing today pulls no punches in the fight against covid-19. it is a plan that i think should unite us. we knew there would be cases of this omicron here in the united states, and it is here. we have the best tools the best vaccines in the world and the best medicine and the best scientists in the world. we will fight this variant with science and speed. not chaos and confusion. >> and leading off our discussion tonight's democratic congressman hakeem jeffries of new york, he is the chair of the house democratic caucus. congressman jeffries, we out here watching you there in the capital doing your jobs, do so with a certain wonder about how you can do it, how you can maintain your patience, how you can go through the day attempting to govern by using the normal tools are governing, while there is this utterly crazy group of people, not all of the republicans in the house, but a very substantial number of republicans in the house as you put it out of control. >> good evening, lawrence, always a pleasure to be with you. it is totally out of control. we don't have a functional two party system in america right now. we have democrats, we have a handful of reasonable republicans, and then we have people who continue to bend the knee to the culprit donald trump. what keeps us going however, is the fact that the challenges facing the american people are so significant, we have worked to continue to crush this virus joe biden our president has been an amazing leader in this regard. he stood up very strong and robust public health infrastructure. for the reasons why he is prepared and americas prepared to deal with this new omicron variant. but there is still more work to be done in that regard, we have crossed paths with the bipartisan infrastructure agreement to fix our crumbling bridges roads tunnels, mass transportation system, to bring about universal broadband access so necessary in the midst of a pandemic where everyone needs access to high speed internet. it is the urgency of the issues and of course finally getting the build back better act over the finish line, and protecting voting rights. it would be nice if we had partners on the other side of the aisle to try and tackle some of the challenges that we are facing, as americans. but we don't, so we proceed with thankful for the leadership of president biden. >> what i noticed, and what republican congresswoman mace was saying about republican congresswoman greene, is it sounded exactly like, and i mean exactly like, what marco rubio was saying about donald trump, when he was running against him for president. ted cruz was saying about donald trump when he was running against him for president, and we have seen both of those men completely shrink and shrivel and melt into door mats for donald trump, slavish lee devoted to donald trump. it doesn't seem like that is where this is going with congresswoman mace, she is calling green a grift or, she is using language that you can't pull back. >> she is part of a fresh group of women that graduated from the citadel down in south carolina. she represents a swing district, a somewhat diverse district. she flipped a bluesy, made it read in 2020. i think she is a woman of integrity, but also someone who recognizes that politically, her constituents are not of the type to embrace the radical right republican rhetoric that we are hearing from members like marjorie taylor greene, lauren boebert, paul gosar, and the rest of the deplorable group that is so predominant now on the other side of the aisle. >> i want to listen to something that liz cheney said about jeffrey clark, and his intention to take the fifth amendment when he testified he january six committee on saturday. this is very important business of the house, and let's listen to what representative cheney sees this. >> mr. clark last night indicated that he intends to invoke the fifth amendment privilege against self incrimination. apparently because he believes testimony about his interactions with president trump would tend to incriminate him. and thus, may subject him to criminal prosecution. we will depose mr. clark on saturday, and at that point we will know exactly what testimony clark believes may incriminate him. we are making rapid progress, we anticipate next year, we will be conducting multiple weeks of public hearings. setting out for the american people, a vivid color, exactly what happened every minute of the day on january 6th. >> so, what's so striking about that is that the testimony that they want from him is basically his exchanges with donald trump. and he's saying that he believes it's possible that some of his answers to those questions could lead to him being charged with federal crimes. >> and i expect that absolutely could be the case. i mean, donald trump and all of the presidents men made richard nixon and his group look like choir boys. and the january 6th commission operating in a bipartisan fashion is going to continue to follow the facts, apply the law, guided by the constitution. let the truth fall maybe me and then present nothing but the entire truth to the american people. and i think it's going to be deeply troubling when that is revealed. so, clearly, jeffrey clark is already signaling perhaps, that crimes may have been committed. either by himself or in partnership with others. and that's why he's not saying anything. he's climbing up. and by the way, it is donald trump who said, only guilty people plead the fifth. and i respect that presumption of innocence, but this is donald trump's own standard of what may be signaling criminality. >> before you go, i just want to get your reaction to where we stand tonight in your state of new york, dealing with this new covid variant. president biden once new rules on people entering the country through jfk airport, one of the principal ports that you have in your state. governor hochul has already said that this state needs -- is stepping up in terms of dealing with this new variant, which has now been discovered in multiple cases in the state of new york. as we knew that it would be. are you confident that the governor and the president have the right approach to this? hav the right approach to >> i thind president biden have shown extraordinary leadership and are prepared for this moment. they have course, have to be flexible to see where the science lead us. there's still a lot of information that we need to acquire from their data, and i know the public health professionals are hard at work. i think i just urge the american people to remain vigilant. make sure you've been vaccinated. if you've been vaccinated, make sure that you get your booster shot and continue to rely upon the advice and guidance that has been presented by health professionals. and collectively together, new yorkers and america, we're going to get through this. we have great leadership. the best is yet to come. and when we pass the build back better act, millions of good paying jobs are on the way. lower taxes for working families. and lower costs in areas like childcare and health care and affordable housing. this great country of ours is in good hands, and i'm thankful for that. >> congressman hakeem jeffries, thank you very much for starting off our conversations tonight. really appreciated. >> thank you, lawrence. >> thank you. coming up, the democratic governor of north carolina welcomes vice president kamala harris and transportation secretary pete buttigieg to charlotte today, where they were able to see the new biden infrastructure law is going to help the electric bus system there, and several other north carolina infrastructure projects. the governor of north carolina, roy cooper, joins us next. er, joins us next. their car insurance. ow! i'm ok! only

is our build back better act. the president and i know that families are stretched thin. and we take that very seriously. and we have designed the build back better act to build, to help address the reality of the needs of everyday folks. >> the vice president went to charlotte, north carolina, today to let people know that help is on the way for the charlotte area transit system, thanks to the 7.5 billion dollars in funding for zero and low emission buses and ferries in the biden if he shocked or bill that the president signed into law last month. vice president harris and transportation secretary pete buttigieg visited the charlotte area transit system bus garage toward electric vehicle operations. >> generations ago, cities like charlotte moved pass horse drawn transit, in part because they were thinking about safety, pollution and efficiency. today, we're getting another new chapter in our transit history. to make it safer, cleaner and more accessible than ever. >> here is the outline of what the new biden infrastructure law will provide to north carolina as described today by the vice president. 7.2 billion for highway projects. 457 million for bridge replacement and repairs. 109 million for electric vehicle charging stations. 900 and $10 million for public transportation. $100 million for broadband access. 1.1 billion for clean drinking water improvements. and joining us now is the democratic governor of north carolina, roy cooper. governor cooper, thank you very much for joining us tonight. really appreciated. >> glad to be with you, lawrence. lad >> i want to begin with that last item that was on the list of what the vice president was talking about in north carolina today. that is the 1.1 billion dollars for clean drinking water improvements. what clean drinking water improvements does the state of north carolina need at this point in the 21st century? >> well, trump promised and promised infrastructure bill in the states waited and waited. and finally, it took president biden to deliver. when you're talking about clean drinking water is something that every family should expect. in north carolina, we are ready have an infrastructure that is ready for this money. we're emphasizing regional drinking water systems. trying to get counties and cities to work together. and many of our smaller towards in our rural areas are living on water systems that are 70, 80 years old. and we need an upgrade. this money comes to us at exactly the right time. we were glad to see them today and we're glad to see this funding finally get to us. >> what is it going to mean for the charlotte area generally? when you put money into electric buses in charlotte, it doesn't just affect the buses and the people riding on the buses. buses. >> that's right. surely is one of our fastest-growing in economic engine for our state. we know that we've got to get people from one place to the other in a faster and cleaner way. and public transportation is a way to do that. we recognized in north north carolina already, that the technology, electric vehicles, is what's going to help get us there. we've got to step up to fight climate change. and we know that transportation sector is a great contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. every day people want to get to and from work. i think the people of north carolina support us moving to the clean energy economy. not only because it helps a step up and fight climate change, but because of the great paying jobs it's going to bring to our state. we've been happy with the way we've been moving to electric vehicles on the transportation side, but we've also just passed legislation which requires a carbon standard for our power generation. requiring a 70% reduction by 2030. carbon neutrality by 2050. it's great for a southern state to step up and to require that. we're excited about the future. we're excited about this funding that's going to help us get there. and we look forward to the build back better plan, because that's going to affect the infrastructure of everyday families. when you're talking about childcare and the work force -- a middle class family making together about $100,000 a year -- they can save $500,000 a year on quality childcare. that's going to help families. that's going to help the workforce. and we've got to get phase two of this through congress and the states are going to be ready for that, to. governor, i'm eager to talk to you for some time because you seem to know something that most democrats do not know how to do. certainly, i do not claim had to do it. that is, you have gotten trump voters to vote for you. last year in 2020, donald trump won the state of north carolina, and you got 50.1% of the vote. there you are as governor. getting 51%, 50.1, 51.5 more votes than donald trump. that just means nothing, but some of those people who voted for donald trump, to let him win on his slot in the ballot, had to switch parties to vote for you, for you to win. what is it for, what did you say to those voters about what you want to do and government as a democratic governor that has pulled those voters to you? >> i think it's more about what i've done, and what our team has done. i think that people will disagree with you on issues if they believe that you are doing the right thing, and that you believe in your values. that is what i have done in north carolina, i was polar opposite of donald trump, and opposed him and his election. but at the same time, i think people want us to try and work together in a bipartisan way, that is why i'm excited about this infrastructure bill in washington where the president had worked very hard to try and bring republicans on board. they have been very obstinate about almost everything, even though they agreed with that infrastructure bill policy in the past. in north carolina, i have had to work with the republican legislature, and we have come together in a bipartisan way to pass strong funding for our schools, for our universities and community colleges. it takes leadership. i will tell you why, governors have become more and more important in this country, particularly looking at our u.s. supreme court, they will pay a lot of responsibility back on the state to protect the rights of women's health, protect voting rights, and i will be chair of the democratic governors association next year. we have 36 governors races, i just talk to my friend stacey abrams today, she is going to run for governor of georgia. we know how important these governors are going to be across the country, and we have to zero in on these gubernatorial elections in 2022. >> the political miracle worker, the man who gets elected as a democrat statewide in north carolina, governor roy cooper, thank you very much for joining us tonight. really appreciate it. >> thanks, lawrence. >> thank you, coming up, donald trump's other, the other big lie. that is next. that is next [ coughing

he spoke about normalization of russian, american relations. >> i wanted him to win, says vladimir putin. the leader of the russian attack on the 2016 presidential election. an attack aimed at helping donald trump win the presidency. that russian attack on our election has become what our next guest david from calls, trump's other big lie. david from's new piece in the atlantic is titled, it wasn't a hoax. the piece correct a mistake being made by some members in the media who seem to suggest that because some portions of the steele dossier have been discredited, that means that russia did not interfere in the election, with the cooperation of the trump campaign. david frum writes that some journalist want to use the steele controversy to score points off politicians and media institutions that they disk like. it remains fact that russian hackers and spies helped his campaign. it remains fact that the trump campaign welcomed the help. it remains fracked that the trump campaign's chairman fought sought to share proprietary campaign information with a person whom the senate report identified as a russian intelligence officer. it remains fact that the trump hoped to score a huge payday in russia, even as he ran for president. a remains fact that trump and those around him light, and light, and light again about their connections to russia. to russia. joining us now are democratic congressman eric swalwell of california. he served as a house impeachment manager in the second impeachment trial of donald trump. also with us, david frum, senior editor at the atlantic. and congressman swalwell, let me begin with you. i fear that david is going to have to re-write this article and republish it roughly every six months. or certainly every year. now that we live in the age of the big lies. >> it's a great price, lawrence. i'm afraid that as we look back on the post-2016 election, all of the evidence was sitting right in front of us and we were looking for more and more, but at the end of the day everything donald trump did was in plain sight. plain view, as you would see in criminal law. he had invested four years in the russians, and the russians had invested in him the russians offered him help at the trump tower meeting. he upsets today. he wanted more help and asked for the russians to hack hillary clinton's emails. an hours after he did that, they did. and by the way, when he was asked if he had any investments in russia, he said no. and it was revealed that he sought to build the largest building in russia. a trump tower there. he light and light and light about. is it tempted to erase that history of russia. the history of january 6th. and the history of his corrupt, racist, muscle journalistic presidency. and it's incumbent on people like david to keep reminding the public what really happened. >> the senate report that david references in his article is from the senate intelligence committee. it was published last year. back when the republicans controlled the committee, marco rubio was actually sitting as chair at that time. that senate intelligence committee report, bipartisan report says, it is our conclusion based on the facts detail in the committee's report, that the russian intelligence services assault on the integrity of the 2016 u.s. electoral process and trump and his associates participation in enabling of this russian activity represents one of the single most grave counter intelligence threats to american national security in the modern era. david, in court, that's when they see case closed. >> i think one of the problems we've had is people keep trying to take this case to court. the key try to keep turning this in a criminal matter, when is a counter intelligence matter. it's a matter of what are the facts. what motivated me to write this article and i think what motivated you to talk about it and the congressman to talk about it -- is there is no easy pushback. not coming only from pro trump people, because what do you expect from. them but for many people of good records in the past four years aren't who are trying to score other points by saying, well, we want to back away from the russia business. the steele dossier wasn't all a should've been. there are many things we still don't know. so, we want to tell a different kind of story in order to score points off of politicians. we don't like hillary clinton, tv programs like this one that they don't like for other reasons. we have to keep in front of us the plain fact that everything you saw, everything that happened, you saw it with your own eyes. you saw the russians hack. you saw the trump campaign tried to persuade the world that the hackers were not russians. in fact, to insinuate that the clinton people had somehow not only hacked themselves but murdered the people who were the instruments of their hack. you saw donald trump on television welcome the help. and all of these things would have been the biggest scandal in american electoral history, except that donald trump kept creating even bigger scandals than that. through the trump years, there have been any secrets but no mysteries. well you know, you know. and you're being gas lip and not only by pro trump people, but unfortunately with people with distinguish records for now trying to score other political points. very subtle ones, by denying what was true. was true. >> congressman swalwell, there is of course the famous donald trump moment, into a microphone, mueller russia are you listening? the mueller report documents exactly what happened in russia after he said that when they were indeed listening and how that amped up their attack processes on the election. >> that's right. they were listening, lawrence. and they acted at his behest. it's important for us to look backward and make sure that history is properly recorded, but a male lawmaker. our job is to make sure this doesn't happen again. congressman adam schiff has legislation called the protect our democracy act, which would put into law a number of different policies that would prevent foreign interference. i have legislation that would put in place a duty to report if you receive help from -- aurier solicited by a foreign actor. that you would have to report it or it would be a crime. that's of course, something that donald trump jr. did not do after the meeting at trump tower. we have to learn from this and just because congress, prior congress did not have an imagination to put in place laws that would protect us against what donald trump exploited, doesn't mean we shouldn't do that going forward. to just talk about what other finer point, david reference trying to score political points. look what donald trump's been able to do by trying to erase what happened with russia in 2016. we now have senators like tom cotton trying to delay, and marco rubio, trying to delay the national defense authorization act because they want us to put tougher sanctions on nordstrom to, against russia forgetting that the reason russia was able to advance so much economically and militarily in the last four years is because the person that they covered four and supported didn't do anything. and in fact, enabled them. >> thank you both very much for joining this discussion tonight. david frum, thank you for writing this piece. let's just pencil in, i don't know, six months from now, we'll talk about it again. because i'm sure we are going to need to repeatedly on the color. and congressman eric swalwell, i'm not sure you got the memo from donald trump. he said that if joe biden was elected president, you democrats were going to end christmas and i think that's a christmas tree behind you in the shot. i don't know. >> christmas is thriving here. [laughs] >> i don't know how donald trump explains that christmas tree. thank you both very much for joining us tonight. coming up, democratic congresswoman debbie dingel's office has been vandalized. her office in michigan. that happened after months of threats. congresswoman dingel joins us next. moment this pure... ...demands a lotion this pure. new gold bond pure moisture lotion. 24-hour hydration. no parabens, dyes, or fragrances. gold bond. champion your skin. why hide your skin if dupixent has your moderate to severe eczema or atopic dermatitis under control?

not me. don't use if you're allergic to dupixent. serious allergic reactions can occur, including anaphylaxis, which is severe. tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems, such as eye pain or vision changes, or a parasitic infection. if you take asthma medicines, don't change or stop them without talking to your doctor. when you help heal your skin from within you can change how your skin looks and feels. and that's the kind of change you notice. talk to your eczema specialist about dupixent, a breakthrough eczema treatment. for people living with h-i-v, keep being you. and ask your doctor about biktarvy. biktarvy is a complete, one-pill, once-a-day treatment used for h-i-v in certain adults. it's not a cure, but with one small pill, biktarvy fights h-i-v to help you get to and stay undetectable. that's when the amount of virus is so low it cannot be measured by a lab test. research shows people who take h-i-v treatment every day and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit h-i-v through sex. serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems and kidney failure. rare, life-threatening side effects include a buildup of lactic acid and liver problems. do not take biktarvy if you take dofetilide or rifampin. tell your doctor about all the medicines and supplements you take, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis. if you have hepatitis b, do not stop taking biktarvy without talking to your doctor. common side effects were diarrhea, nausea, and headache. if you're living with hiv, keep loving who you are. and ask your doctor if biktarvy is right for you. >> earlier this week, congresswoman debbie dingel's michigan office was broken into and vandalized. the windows were smashed, items inside destroyed including memorabilia belonging to her late husband, john dingell, the longest serving congressman in u.s. history. no one was in the office at the time. u.s. capitol police and the dearborn police department are investigating the incident. joining us now is democratic congresswoman debbie dingell. >> congresswoman dingell, first of all, very sorry this is happened to your office. have you been facing increase increasing threats? is this something you felt could happen? >> no. quite frankly, it never occurred to me that something like this would happen. lawrence, i'm worried about the level of anger, heat rhetoric that's out there. i've certainly seen a very increased amount of it in the last couple of years and at times, things that have happened that scared me a little. this obviously unsettled me a little on monday, given the personal nature of it. electron no electronics were taken. but i'm worried about what's happening in the country. i think we all need to take a collective deep breath. well i was upset on monday, what happened on tuesday at oxford high school upset me a lot more. i knew some of the kids that were there at the time. when are we going to week up? are we not worried about what we're seeing happening in our communities across the country? house of representatives is reflective of the communities in our country. anger and hatred has taken over to many in our communities. >> the situation in oxford is such an enormous tragedy. how do you deal with it in your capacity as an elected official, when you know you can't stand up and say to people legislatively, here's what we're going to do. because you know there's no legislative route through the united states senate now to do anything about what's happening in school shootings. >> i react to it as a human being. i react -- and by the way, i don't know if people realize how many of our -- several school systems in just my district sent out notes to parents tonight. i'm getting them one by one, about other threats that are happening. we had multiple schools systems that were close today, and more are closing tomorrow. i'm scared. i'm scared for our kids. i'm scared for our communities. and i want people to stop and think. if i've got to talk about, but all of us do. why are people so angry? why is this happening? and maybe we've got to look at what the roots of it are, even before we talk about why the kids have access to guns. why do parents not lock them up? but there's something going on that's attacking the fundamental roots of our democracy. and you know what? i have good friends -- i can't tell you the number of republicans that came over and hugged me, told me they were sorry about it. i want all of us to take a collective deep breath because i care about this country. i care about what's happening. i care about the anger, the hatred, the division. >> congresswoman debbie dingell, thank you very much for joining us and i'm very sorry about what happened at your office. and of course, the tragedy in michigan with the school shooting is just another and bearable tragedy that we must bear as we continue to do nothing about it. >> thanks, lawrence. let's all see we've got to work together to stop it. period. thanks. >> thank you. really appreciate it. coming up, 16 year old and he will get tonight's last word. if you're washing with the bargain brand, even when your clothes look clean, there's extra dirt you can't see. watch this. that was in these clothes... ugh. but the clothes washed in tide- so much cleaner. if it's got to be clean it's got to be tide hygienic clean. no surprises in these clothes! couple more surprises. we were alone when my husband had the heart attack. he's the most important thing in my life. i'm so lucky to get him back. your heart isn't just yours. protect it with bayer aspirin. be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. ♪ limu emu... & doug ♪ ♪ superpowers from a spider bite?
