it ending, and u.s. troops leaving full stop, the only troops left behind will be those to protect the embassy. it s something that has been more than long awaited. and it s just an historic moment. i m looking forward to the president s remarks tomorrow. that s it for us. i m for the last word with lawrence o donnell. good evening, lawrence. good evening. this historic speech by the president tomorrow night, we ll have to handle both tomorrow night, that s for sure. exactly. exactly. thanks, lawrence. thank you, rachel. we re one hour away in tonight s curfew in brooklyn center, minnesota. last night, protesters remained on the streets there for hours after the 7:00 p.m. curfew. they re already on the streets tonight. 40 people were arrested last night. tonight, 2,000 national guard troops are there, supporting the small brooklyn center police department, which now has only 47 members after the police chief resigned and officer kim potter submitted her resignation
all good evening rachel, as it was proven again today there is no drama in the world quite like the return of a jury verdict. the suspense is always totaled and there is no pulling, there is no hint, they don t give signals. the only indication we had was the relative speed of the verdict on something this complex with no questions to the judge at all. it certainly gave people the belief that there is going to be at least one guilty coming out of this, if not all three. but when that moment comes there is nothing like it. yeah. and the interesting thing about the coverage of this trial, with covid restrictions, the public and the price being restricted from being in the room and so being cameras there but that not being the usual means of business in that sort of courtrooms or not showing the jury but allowing us to hear their words as they were pulled from the judge, the preserving the anonymity of the jury, the unusual way that we were able to access it in realtime

1994 and passed tonight at 93. we ll see you again tomorrow. now it is time for the last word. good evening, lawrence. good evening. i would like to enter the name of tip o neill into our continuing coverage tonight of walter mondale because it was tip o neill s idea suggesting congresswoman ferraro as the vice presidential nominee to run along with walter mondale and he actually did it in a way that s remarkable when you think bag to it now as speaker of the house he sang that he he said in may, in may long before the conventions not only should be a woman but specifically ferraro and who knows what was going to happen if he didn t get behind that idea so early? do you know why he thought that early on that she was the right pick? that not only should be a woman but her? well, there was a movement for it s time for a female candidate for vice president. you know, people kind of forget there was a stall in this section of our politics because there was a big surge i
