it s up to you lawrence. yes, it s completely up to you. you must discuss a lot about vivek ramaswamy. now, rachel, i ve spent the weekend curled up with this amazing new york times number one bestseller, debuting at number one on the bestseller list. and i have so many questions. and i was kind of wondering if maybe tonight, you could come over? yes. okay, here s what we ll do, to give you time to come over. here is what we are going to do. we are going to do a first segment with mary trump s reaction to her uncle being out of control in court today. and then we are going to talk about rachel maddow s number one best selling, new york times number one bestseller, debuts a number, one prequel, an american fight against fascism. and what i m gonna do, rachel, is it is going to be a discussion, but i am going to be selling the thing. no, but it s specific. i am going to be selling the audio book. and you know why i want to push the audio book. we will discuss all of t
hard things. the question i leave you with tonight is what does that mean for you? on that note, i wish you a very good night. from all of our colleagues across the networks of nbc news, thanks for staying up late with me. i will see you tomorrow. you tomorrow. i was out sick. i finally got covid. i think and one of the last people in the country who had never had it before. but i finally tested positive like a week and a half ago. i m vaccinated so i think that helped me get an easier bout. i rested up, isolated from everyone. i took a five-day course of paxlovid which honestly is kind of grows while you re taking it. but it is, in my opinion, totally worth. it it s only five days of pills. by the end of those five days of the paxlovid, i had no fever, totally reduced symptoms, and most importantly, i was testing negative. and not a risk to other people. so, anyway, i m back, i m sorry, i missed you here last week. also had to cancel and reschedule the remaining book tour
