exchange for not fact checking anything donald trump said. david smith himself said we are here to deliver your message, so it is a very partisan operator, but he is really pulling the strings behind local affiliate networks and unfortunately, viewers may not know what's going on. >> yes, over 185 local tv stations plus the baltimore sun. that is the reach here. thanks for your time. that is our show for tonight. now, it's time for the last word with lawrence o'donnell. good evening, lawrence. >> good evening, alex. we are talking about the supreme court tonight including the alito tapes and i was fascinated to hear your interview with the alito neighbor who was in the street arguments with mrs. alito. especially your point, which i'm going to highlight, too, of mrs. alito being caught on tape

saying, i'm german, and seeing it in a way that she clearly intends to be threatening. what could she possibly be referring to in german being threatening to people? >> i mean, i don't know. as someone who has some german background in my own family, usually you don't try to plant the red to breed the nature of the german people if you don't have to. >> yeah, it is one of those indicators of just how wild it is in the alito home when it comes to what is happening with their flags, which clearly, justice alito knew all about, as your interview proved conclusively. >> wild is one word for it, lawrence. >> thanks, alex. the stock market closed at an all-time high once again today, proving once again today

that republican businessmen don't know what is good for them . and yes, i'm using the antiquated term, businessmen, deliberately, because the thinking of the people i am referring to is antiquated. the last time it made any sense at all for recut -- republican businessmen to boat republican was back when they all really were men, no women allowed. in the 1920s, back when the stock market crashed in 1929 under republican president herbert hoover, and then the country sank into the deepest depression it has ever suffered. there was not a single republican politician who had any idea what to do about that. then came democratic president franklin delano roosevelt elected in 1932 in the depths of the depression, and that democratic president created the policies that saved the

american economy. if your business survive the depression, it was because of the policies of the democratic president franklin delano roosevelt. those policies help your business survive the depression. franklin delano roosevelt held the banking system together by himself in the first days of his presidency, when the entire american banking system was on the verge of collapse, the whole thing. what did republican businessmen do? they opposed president roosevelt. they have never known what is good for them, and what is good for them as a democratic presidency that knows how to get things done to help their businesses keep running. the economy does better under democratic presidents. that is a simple fact of american economic history, and

there are many businessmen and women who understand that and vote accordingly. they vote in their own self- interest for democratic presidents, but republican businessmen remained the dominant voice in american media , and it is a voice that is almost always wrong, and so there are noisy republican businessmen who are now voicing their support for donald trump without ever thanking joe biden for helping them get richer than they have ever been during the biden presidency. those people never thanked president obama for getting the economy back on track after the financial crisis of 2008 when wall street investment banks collapsed. those wall street investment banks collapsed in the final year of an eight-year republican presidency. those wall street bankers got

fabulously wealthy beyond their wildest dreams during the eight years of bill clinton and then some of them lost everything under the republican presidency of george w bush and many of them still enthusiastically boat republican because they are untouchable. we do not send our best to wall street. we send our greediest and many of them are too ignorant to understand how competent democratic presidents enrich the economy and always make the rich people who vote against them richer. not all of them. not all of the people in business are too dense to understand that. democratic presidential candidates get plenty of contributions and support from investment bankers and business owners and business executives who actually understand how the economy works, and the government's essential position

in the economy -- infrastructure spending is one of the simplest demonstrations of this. white house cartoonishly scheduled and rescheduled infrastructure week for four years and never passed a single bill providing a single improvement in american infrastructure, not one brick. donald trump built nothing. joe biden passed an infrastructure bill and signed it into law, and he did it with bipartisan support from the senate. many of the republicans who voted against that bill in the house and the senate now step forward to take credit for the infrastructure improvements that bill is delivering and republican congressional districts and states. infrastructure improvements are usually planned carefully for years before the first day of work on a project begins. but this year, we saw a case of emergency infrastructure work

like we have never seen before when 112,383 metric tons of a container ship crashed into the francis scott key bridge across baltimore harbor, and instantly closed all shipping in and out of baltimore. that was not a problem for baltimore businesses. that was a problem for the world. grain harvested in the great plains is shipped to countries around the world through the port of baltimore. that means there were businesses large and small in places like iowa, nebraska, kansas that would be hurt by the closing of the port of baltimore, the first stage of the story. it was tragic for the six men who lost their lives working on the bridge when it collapsed in the middle of the night. 35-year-old alejandra hernandez

and 24-year-old carlos hernandez from mexico. 26-year-old castille cabrera and 35-year-old jose lopez from guatemala. 38-year-old mainer suazo from honduras, 49-year-old miguel luna from el salvador. the second stage of the story had to immediately be the reopening of the port of baltimore, and then the third stage, the reopening of the bridge. reopening the port meant clearing the bridge debris so that a clear, unobstructed channel could be established through the port that is 700 feet wide and 50 foot deep to accommodate those huge container ships that use the port. until that port was open, every ship on the oceans of the world headed for the port of baltimore to deliver imports to the united states had to be rerouted or wait, and that

would add costs to the exports and the imports involved which means it without inflation in the same way that the broken supply chain during the covid pandemic created inflation around the world and every ship that was in the port of baltimore ready to leave that night and deliver america's exports around the world was then stuck, could not move, stack. none of those ships could leave until that channel was reopened, none of them. that meant that every business that had goods on those ships for export around the world was losing money every day. every american business that was shipping experts on those ships lost money every day that those ships could not move. the only thing that was going to be able to get those ships out of the port of baltimore

was competent government in action and the american economy and american businesses are lucky that everyone involved at every level of government that needed to coordinate on this emergency infrastructure project is a democrat. democratic president joe biden, democratic governor westmore, democratic mayor of baltimore brendan scott. anything less than full emergency speed in response to this infrastructure emergency could have meant that it would take a year or years just to reopen the shipping channel in the port of baltimore. 11 weeks. 11 weeks led by joe biden. the emergency infrastructure project in the port of baltimore took 11 weeks of this week, the port reopened.

>> i've been waiting to say this every day for the last 11 weeks. marilyn, the port mchenry channel is fully clear and the port of baltimore is reopened for business. this would not have happened without our extraordinary partners in the biden-harris administration. i remember the first phone call that i got from the white house was around 3:30 that morning.

they have been in lockstep with us every single step of the way. they helped us to stand up to small business administrations, recovery centers and baltimore to help individuals and businesses affected by the collapse. they delivered $16 million in emergency funding just days after the bridge fell. president biden himself took the time to come to baltimore and to meet with us about the path forward. maryland is deeply grateful for the leadership of president biden and the leadership of vice president harris. >> that was governor westmore at the port of baltimore today. there's another version of the story that could've happened. president biden goes to baltimore, promises to do everything he can to reopen the port as fast as possible and then he fails, then the resources cannot be coordinated with the highly skilled workers needed immediately to do the work of dismantling the bridge

and dredging the channel. the workers and equipment ready to do this kind of specialty job are not just sitting around waiting for emergency phone calls. failure was more likely than success in this mission, in this timetable. just ask donald trump, who did not build or rebuild anything during his presidency. if joe biden failed it reopening the port of baltimore, republicans would be campaigning against him in november, saying he failed to do that, and donald trump of course would be promising to reopen the port of baltimore on his first day in the white house again and trump voters would of course believe that nonsense because they have proved they will believe anything. that is not the way it happened. joe biden delivered on his promise and when he did, he made it look easy and no republican businessman is going to say thanks, joe. this is what winning and good government looks like and most voters will never realize. nest -- most voters in the

country will never realize how important joe biden's governing skills, including his emergency governing skills, are in solving a problem like this that no president before him has ever had to face. joe biden cannot turn to anyone in the white house and say, how did lyndon johnson handle this? how did ronald reagan handle this? joe biden had to use all of his experience in government and his understanding of the region and the port's importance to the american economy to quickly figure out how to handle this. >> president biden made clear from that first day in those early hours the federal government would do everything that we could to support the city, the county, the state to get the port of baltimore back open and to get that bridge rebuilt and what followed was an embrace of the people of baltimore by the whole administration and really by the whole country to get this port back open and less than 100 days.

>> being a republican businessman means you never have to say thank you to the democrats to save your business. leading off our discussion tonight is governor westmore of maryland. he's also a member of the advisory board for the biden- harris re-election campaign. governor, thank you for joining us tonight. it is such an impressive feat. anyone who knows anything about marine salvage operations and how difficult they are to execute, getting this done in this amount of time, opening up that channel is close to america. >> thanks so much and i remember admiral fagan, who runs the coast guard, when i saw her on day three you know, she said this is the most complex maritime operation she had been a part of but i tell you,

lawrence, i remember that first morning when i first spoke to the people of my state and i knew that my job was to provide a measure of calm and also a measure of comfort and certainty to the people of my state but i have to tell you, when i got that phone call the first phone call i got from the white house at 3:30 in the morning, when i had a chance to speak with the president the president said to me we are going to be with you every step of the way, the same thing i was trying to offer to the same people of my state, he offered to me and every single step of this journey to be able to bring closure and comfort to the families of those six marylanders we lost that morning, to be able to make sure that all of the workers in the

first responders who were directly impacted -- you know, we have thousands of people who lost their jobs instantaneously when that ship crashed into the bridge. to make sure they knew they were going to be seen and supported, to make sure we would stop at nothing to get that federal channel reopen, when people told us that it could take up to a year just to get the federal channel reopened because we work together we were able to show that instead of taking 11 months we got it done in 11 weeks. all of that happened because we were working in partnership with the biden administration and so i am so thankful that we had a chance to have an administration who focused on competence and who focused on compassion and who focused on keeping their promises because this is an illustration. this was a case study about how to respond and with speed and with heart to be able to get big things done and show government can be getting big things done when we move together and but that is because we have the right partner we needed in the moment in president biden and his entire team. >> you know, americans used to fully understand that our seacoast ports are important. seacoast ports are not local operations, that they are feeders of the entire country and exporters for the entire

country. just the image of those containers behind you in that shot today, the materials we see in those containers, those are not for the people of baltimore. that is not stuff that was made by the people of baltimore that is being shipped out here. that is the whole country that is using this port. talk about the national importance of getting this channel on this port reopen this fast. >> every time you order something on amazon people have to remember what you think that's getting delivered to? when people are ordering new cars would you think that's coming in from? when you have people with agricultural equipment, the port of baltimore is the largest port in the country for agricultural equipment. for the restaurant tour who is getting spices and sugars, where do you think the spices and sugars are coming in? the port of baltimore services two thirds of this country, billions of dollars of economics flow throughout the port of baltimore and so when

you look at a closure of a part of baltimore, when you look at the fact that we had a ship that was the size of three football fields that was blocking the patapsco river and closing down that part of baltimore, that had significant supply-chain challenges and significant economic challenges, so the ability to work with speed to be able to get that port reopen, it was

about the very human impact of the workers, the thousands of workers who were directly impacted but was also about the fact that this was a core artery for american economic vitality and american economic growth so when you have something like the port of baltimore that is the largest port in this country for new cars, heavy trucks, agricultural equipment, for: the collection of different items and now seeing that port reopen, this was an incredibly celebratory moment for not just the workers who were impacted, but also a celebratory moment for american economy because it shows our measure of dynamism and also how fast and how important that rebound was to make sure everybody in our country can be supported. >> we both know that if this had happened at the port of los angeles, something like this, president biden would've worked just as hard to get it fixed, but he doesn't have the kind of personal familiarity with that port that he has with the port of baltimore. this is a guy who passed through the port of baltimore to and from work every day in the united states senate when he was commuting to delaware to washington, and so there must've been an advantage in speaking to the president about a place that he knows as well as he does. >> it was also great, he also has family history. he told me his father and grandfather you know, the call baltimore home. he even says baltimore the right way, so it was great working with someone who knows and who sees us but you know, i tell you there is something else special about baltimore,

that for far too long, baltimore has been a community that has been historically neglected, that when you think about things like redlining and how lines were made up to create racial segregation, its birthplace was baltimore. when you look at communities that often times of been chronically neglected, the fact that the children of baltimore have double the asthma rate of anywhere else inside the state of maryland if you look at the measurements of economic inequality that have existed within the city of baltimore think that is something the president takes personally so when we came in his administration we made a commitment this was going to be

an administration that was going to center and focus on supporting baltimore and when you're looking at the growth we've now seen in baltimore, baltimore now has the eighth fastest growing economy in this country since our administration has come on board. we've been able to work together in partnership to ensure that the homicide rates in baltimore are falling faster than any other major american city in this country with the exception of one. right now if we can keep pace with where we are in terms of homicides in violent crimes the last time the homicide rate was so low in baltimore, i was not born yet, so the momentum that we are seeing in the city of baltimore, it is real but it is also because we are working in partnership and working in partnership with the biden administration who has been so centered on making sure that baltimore and the people of baltimore are not forgotten inside this moment. >> thank you very much for joining us on this important night for maryland and for the country. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. coming up, republicans blocked the vote in the senate on an enforceable code of conduct for supreme court justices and justice alito's wife, who gets into fights with her neighbors, uses, for some reason, her german heritage, as she puts it, as a threat. that's next. that works inside my body with a click of this button. where are you going? i'm going to get inspire. learn more and view important safety information at inspiresleep.com. new mr. clean ultra foamy magic eraser? with the scrubbing power of magic eraser

the idea that you can trust a supreme court justice with no independent review, no fact- finding, each, the judge in his own cause, to follow the rules, has been blown to smithereens by the conduct of the supreme court justices themselves. >> the highest court in our land should not have the lowest ethical standards. >> because the republican members of the supreme court believe that nothing about their conduct or their thinking should ever be reviewed by anyone, desperate measures have entered the situation to try to pierce what is really happening at the most political supreme court of our lifetimes. and so, the wife of a supreme court justice was caught on tape saying these words angrily. look at me. look at me. i'm german, from germany.

my heritage is german. you come after me, i'm going to give it back to you. what could samuel alito's wife possibly mean? when invoking germany and being german, to inspire fear in the people who in her mind, at least, come after her. >> look at me, look at me. i'm german, from germany. my heritage is german. you come after me, i'm going to give it back to you. >> many peoples of the world have much to be ashamed of, none more than germany and germans. mrs. alito sounds proud of being german. she is also proud of flying flags and here is the flag that was used to express that

specific pride, the pride of being german beginning in the 1930s. is the fear that flag created around the world the fear that mrs. alito wants to create in her threatening use of her heritage? look at me, look at me. i'm germany from germany -- i'm german from germany. i'm german. okay, mrs. alito, tell us more about your family. what did they do during the war, your relatives that were still in germany, like most germans, supporting adolf hitler and everything he did. tell us more. in that same secretly recorded conversation, mrs. alito expresses her outrage at having to even see a pride flag, a flag under which not a single human being has ever been sent

to a gas chamber. >> you know what i want? i want a sacred heart of jesus like because i have to look across the lagoon at the pride flag for the next month. and he's like oh, please don't put up a flag. i said i won't do it because i'm deferring to you but when you are free of this nonsense, i'm putting it up and i'm going to send them a message every day. maybe every week. i'll be changing flags. i made a flag in my head into flight and it is yellow and orange flames around it and in the middle is the word vergona. in italian it means shame. >> there was a new attempt today to bring the supreme court into the 20th century when synods -- democrats in the

senate advanced a bill to create a code of conduct for supreme court justices. republican senators refused to allow the bill to even come to a vote. joining us now is one of the proponents of the bill, a member of the senate judiciary committee and chair of the subcommittee on federal courts. he is also the author of "the scheme, how the right-wing use democrat money to capture the supreme court." thank you very much for being here tonight. the debate that did not happen on the senate floor today was a remarkable thing, that we have senators now, republican senators who firmly believe that there should be absolutely no way at all to review the conduct of supreme court justices. >> yeah, and the had a hard time making that pitch. they basically drove two theories. one was simply to change the subject. they talked about woke.

they talked about the fbi. they talked about abortion, things that have no direct bearing on the matter at hand, which was an ethics code for the supreme court that is enforceable. they also said that we were trying to interfere with the independence of the court, and to violate the separation of powers, which is a strange argument to make, because the bill would ask the judiciary to create its own ethics process, which would be implemented by employees and members of the judiciary, so when you have a judiciary with an ethics code operating within the judiciary that is run by members and employees of the judiciary, it is very hard to understand how they can say that is a separation of powers problem. in fact, that is the way the existing code works. they've never complained about it. the justices have never complained about it.

the conference that oversees the judiciary was created by congress. recusal laws and disclosure laws, particularly the disclosure laws judicial conference is now investigating thomas' compliance with, all that passed by congress. no complaint, no fuss, so it is a tell when the arguments against what you are trying to do don't even address what you're trying to do. >> one of the things that struck me was the argument that this bill would allow lower ranking members of the federal judiciary to examine the conduct of their bosses, as one of the senate -- republican senators put it. first of all, they are not their bosses but that is like saying well, you know, the members of the police department can't possibly investigate the mayor.

>> yes, and not to mention the fact that the thing that they say is impossible is actually happening right now. we know from the judicial conference's own records that its current investigation of justice thomas for the second batch of harlan crow freebie yacht and jet travel to thomas, is currently being investigated by the judicial conference, which is made up of those district and circuit court judges. i don't know how they don't know that. i don't know how whoever is preparing their remarks doesn't alert them to the fact that they are saying that the thing that can't be done is presently happening without objection from the supreme court, without objection from thomas, who was the subject of the investigation, so we really step into la la land super

quick when the arguments have to be made against a supreme court ethics code. >> and, we have already seen corrective measures taken by some of these judges just because of press reporting about them. we have to squeeze in a commercial break right here, if you could possibly stay with us to continue this after the break. is after the break. medicines to help keep you undetectable than dovato. detect this: leo learned that most hiv pills contain 3 or 4 medicines. dovato is as effective with just 2. if you have hepatitis b, don't stop dovato without talking to your doctor. don't take dovato if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking dofetilide. this can cause serious or life-threatening side effects. if you have a rash or allergic reaction symptoms, stop dovato and get medical help right away. serious or life-threatening lactic acid buildup and liver problems can occur. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, or if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. dovato may harm an unborn baby. most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety.

senator, i wanted to listen to some of the testimony at your hearing today about what is happening to people who live in states where abortion has been banned and they have to travel out of state. let's listen to some of that testimony. >> i was at risk of ward organ damage to my kidneys and brain but i still wasn't dead enough for an exception for abortion care in texas. i was going to have to flee the state where my family has lived for eight generations and i was terrified. the bounty laws in texas had us worrying about who could turn against us. was it safer to attempt 12 hours in a car through rural texas while i was violently ill? what if i got worse? exceptions to abortion bands are a fiction. they don't exist in texas and i am living proof of that. >> you have experience with this in rhode island. there was testimony from healthcare providers in rhode island who have been dealing with people fleeing their home states because of this. >> yeah. the woman his clip you played, lauren miller, had twins, and she discovered during her

pregnancy that one of the twins is not going to survive the pregnancy, and we very well as a result, chose the healthy twin and may very well even kill her leaving the husband along with their two-year-old toddler, and so obviously she needed really good medical attention, and like any person who needs really good medical attention, she wanted to be able to trust her doctors, and what she found was that her doctors in texas were so frightened of the texas abortion bands that they would refuse to tell her what her options were and let her know that they were going to be unable to provide procedures that would keep her safe and healthy, so she had to embark

on this adventure with her husband out of state, figuring it out for herself, because the ability of those doctors to care for her came to a sudden and for that law kicked in and frightens them out of following what is medically indicated treatment for her condition and thankfully, the end of the story is a happy one. she went to colorado, she got the care that she needed, and baby henry is healthy, and she is healthy and everybody is back home in texas and it all turned out all right, but no thanks to the law. she could have lost her life. her son could've lost his life and she had to go through real hell to get the care she should have been able to get , as she said, 15 minutes down the road, one turn away from her home. >> what do the republicans on your committee have to say to her? >> not one engaged with her. they brought in antiabortion

professional witnesses, one of whom had been schooled by a judge in florida for the quality of her testimony, to give you an idea of how they are scraping the bottom of the barrel, and no one would engage with her, and senator cruz of texas didn't even bother to come. >> senator sheldon whitehouse, thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> thank you. struck coming up, the kids who survived the massacre at sandy hook elementary school graduated from high school today , and they remember their first grade classmates. that is next. grade classmates. that is next. get back to better breathing with fasenra, an add-on treatment for eosinophilic asthma that is taken once every 8 weeks. fasenra is not for sudden breathing problems or other eosinophilic conditions. allergic reactions may occur. don't stop your asthma treatments without talking with your doctor. tell your doctor if your asthma worsens. headache and sore throat may occur. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. step back out there with fasenra. ask your doctor if it's right for you.

that killed a student and a teacher, my predecessor was asked about it. you remember what he said. he said have to get over it. no, we don't have to get over it. we've got we've got to stop it now! it. >> the republican candidate for president lost his gun license after being convicted of felonies in new york, remains very proud of doing nothing about guns. >> during my four years nothing happened, and there was great pressure on me having to do with guns. we did nothing, we didn't yield. >> cofounder of march for our lives, survivor of the school shooting at marjory stoneman douglas, in florida, david, thank you for joining us tonight. this is one of those really painful-- days of memory, both in orlando, and connecticut. >> it is, thank you for having

me, lawrence. >> as we go forward with the subject president biden, very clearly wants to ban the ar-15, donald trump very clear wants every mass murderer to be able to get the best possible weapon for mass murder available in the world wants them to buy ar- 15's over the counter, forever. >> the contrast can be more clear, president biden in terms of what he's done on fighting gun violence in every state across the country has been more than arguably any president before in american history could march for our lives had been pushing for the office of gun violence at the white house to help implement and ensure the federal government has the entire response coordinated when it comes to addressing gun violence. although, lawrence, after hearing about what happened in orlando, after hearing about sandy hook, you can feel hopeless, so easily to feel hopeless, but i have hope, that congressman you showed them i

remember hearing him from my dorm room when i was a college freshman, because he was national organizing director. i got to work on his campaign for congress. a gun violence prevention advocate organized with us at march for our lives, so there is hope even if it does take time. we passed the first federal gun laws as well, for the first time in 30 years after uvalde, high risk individuals have been prevented from getting weapon, and i know it's hard talking about this, because it's a hard to talk about the shooting that doesn't happen, but we know it's having an impact just recently, a few days ago the fbi came out with a report that in the past quarter, 2024, first quarter that year, this year, that gun violence, the murder rate is down over 20 percent. we have further to go, but that is significant, we are making progress here, and we cannot stop until no one fears gun violence inside or outside the

school. i know i'm not going to stop. >> i know you know governmental changes take time, sometimes they take painfully long times. but, most of the governmental changes and improvements we talk about are not matters of life or death. it's on an issue of if you don't make these changes before going to die, and they still take a long time. here, in a matter that is life and death you have to ask the supporters of your calls for patience, and these are young people who are not experienced with the length of time it takes to get things done in government. how can they come how do you encourage them to summon both the patience and urgency at the same time? >> i think it really comes down to giving them a place to put it, especially at the state level. recently with the work i am doing to electing people around the country, our first, clark,

virginia, one seat majority in the most competitive race in that state, and i saw him, lawrence, kill a bill to arm teachers because of the one seat majority he was critical to securing, and i got to see him introduce a bill to offer tax credits for gun safes and gun locks which is essential, because we know most shooters get their guns from the parents' household. the bill was passed in virginia, and i know it's hard to talk to mullican mentioned about the shooting that doesn't happen, but we can rest easily tonight, knowing there's progress being made. some are saying don't have patience, and if you're tired of seeing this, tired of seeing the inaction, tired of seeing school shootings in our headlines and not leaving them in the history books where they should be long run for office, get involved, show up at your state legislature. these people in power are not

going to be there forever. he was a young person have the greatest asset that anybody can have on their side in politics. not even the nra can buy more of, which is time. you will outlive most of the people in the building behind me maybe with the exception of maxwell, thank god. what do we do to make sure school shootings are left in our histories? we have the ability to do it, but what do we do to believe it? >> thank you. we will be right back. back. heart valve problem,... ...we're going for a better treatment than warfarin. eliquis. eliquis reduces stroke risk. and has less major bleeding. over 97% of eliquis patients did not experience a stroke. don't stop taking eliquis without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk of stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking, you may bruise more easily... ...or take longer for bleeding to stop. get help right away for unexpected bleeding or unusual bruising. it may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines.
