violence. the expulsion has thrust these two young black lawmakers into the national spotlight. president biden inviting them to the white house. but what happens next for them? well, in a moment, we re going to hear how they could be right back in their old seats as early as monday. and after jeremy renner talking about his recovery after that, seven tons , snowplow nearly crushed him to death. his doctor will be here to explain how renner was able to survive. you remember the pain? all of it? yeah, i was awake through every moment. it s exactly like you imagined it would feel like if you it s hard to imagine what that feels like . but when you look at the machine and you look at and i was on asphalt and ice, i wish i was on snow. and l s u basketball star angel reese now says she will go to the white house with her teammates. the n c double a women s basketball champions. bob costas is here. on our panel to talk about all of this tonight. let s begin with the developments i
