. >> thanks alex >> that is our show for this, evening now it is time for the last word with lawrencening alex. >> fifth, evening gonna be picking up the border discussion with senator chris murphy of candidate who was the key negotiator for the democrats on that bipartisan bill. that donald trump managed to veto, even though he technically didn't have

now it's time for "the last word" with lawrence o'donnell. >>> good evening. rachel and joy at the apollo. it was bound to happen. i shouldn't seem surprised at all. rachel, remember several weeks ago, when you were really sick, and you managed to come into the studio and anchor one of our primary night coverages? and i'm -- i'm -- i'm not as sick as that tonight. >> oh, no. >> you about i'm -- i'm much more of a cry baby. so for me, it's worse than a good soldier like you. and you know, if this was any other day, this would have been a sick day. but after watching "meet the press" yesterday, i thought, i have to come in. i have a few things i have to say about that. >> i'm desperate to know what you're going to say about that. do you know what you have? >> i just have a cold. i tested for covid. and it's so peculiar to have a cold in the age of covid. because now you don't believe it at first. and you just keep testing. waiting for, when is it going to say i have it. and it's just a cold. and i'm just not man enough for a cold anymore, rachel. i'm just not. i

o'donnell show in the next hour, flipped a republican state house in the state of alabama, largely onf ivf. >> i think that's exactly right. the republican party recognizes that it's the mystic agenda is not one that plays well to the electorate. the electorate is far more moderate than what the republican party is doing right now but that might not matter so much if you have the courts. like the courts are by design a minority reinstitution but what the republicans have banked on is that they can do and prosecute through the courts what they could not do in majoritarian politics. so the goal on the other side for progressives is you not only have to win elections, you have to win decisively and then you have to turn your attention to rolling back the conservatism of the courts. >> it is a multipronged effort and potentially a multipronged solution. melissa murray, it is always good to see you, my friend. thank you for your time tonight. coming up, republican-led order policies are having a devastating effect on migrants seeking asylum in the u.s. and increasingly it is in the form of

now it is time for last word with lawrence o'donnell. >> alex, i was listening to your discussion and i have some concerns about the way we use the word strongman because i fear it can sound just too good to too many voters who think the president of the united states supposed to be a strong man? it is a term we've been using for decades in a way that everyone using it electively understood. i'm not sure it communicates what we would like it to communicate here. >> you are so right. we should call it fascist fan and the boys. that is the essence of what is happening here. >> i don't have a suggestion, i'm feeling awkward about that term. that's all. that is where i am. >> duly noted. thank you for the feedback. have a great show. >> thanks, alex. >>> between now and tuesday, november 5th, the two most important stories we will be covering at this hour are the multiple prosecutions of criminal defendant donald trump and the presidential election. there are of course, obviously, usually important stories going on at the same time around the world, in ukraine, in gaza and israel and else

now it's time for the last word with lawrence o'donnell. >>> we have what we call a quorum here at the last word. we have three senators joining us tonight. well, okay, wait. adam schiff, who is one election night away from becoming the next senator in california. he's going to win. because republicans cannot win statewide there. he's going to join us. sherry brown, who actually is currently a senator running for re-election is joining us. and the big, big winner in texas last night on his way to the general election in november. senator cruise. cruz only one by three points last time. this could be the time. it's senate night here. >> you might be able to hash out a plan for immigration reform in an hour. >> and later, actually, andrew weissman and melissa murray are going to join me and we did something unusual for tonight's segment, alex. we rehearsed it. >>. >> we rehearsed for an hour in from a live audience at the 92nd street y. will bring all the melissa's best jokes and andrew's best jokes, tight. down too much tighter version during the show. >> i heard about the musical numbe

with me tonight, my good friends rachel maddow and lawrence o'donnell. hosts of the rachel and the last word right here on msnbc. rachel, i will say something. i am mad at myself for how surprised i was. i was mad at myself, as the time clique went by for two and a half weeks, i, and i think a lot of people thought, and this was with informed speculation with people i respect, people who have -- people who have been around the court, studied the court, know the court. there is no way they could take two and a half weeks, only then to say we are taking the case seven weeks from now. what was your reaction? >> i mean, i don't think you should be mad at yourself, i don't think you should be embarrassed. i think everybody sort of thought that was the only decent explanation for how long they were taking. that they were going to not take up the case, that maybe samuel ito or one of the other real maga judges was going to be really mad about -- was biding for as much time as he could, because it was his last turn -- which a course is what trump wants. i think

. >>> it's time for the last word with lawrence o'donnell. >> good evening.rrow by the united states about a cease-fire is a real turn in the story. i'm going to be here tomorrow night so i will be covering that tomorrow night. you will be covering it tomorrow night also. the big news items. >> it is a massive story and part of this growing shift in

it is time now for the last word with lawrence o'donnell.nd. >> the breaking news of the night about a u.n. resolution to be brought tomorrow by the united states about a cease-fire

at 10:00 tonight on the "last word" with lawrence o'donnell, fresh off his win we've been talking aboutlands will be lawrence's guest. up next for us new and never before heard details about the plan to keep donald trump in office after he lost the election in 2020. using the levers of power at the department of justice to do so. that story when deadline white house continues after a quick break. don't go anywhere. a quick break. don't go anywhere. okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein. (♪♪) >>> i made the point that jeff clark is not even competent to serve as the attorney general. he's never been a criminal attorney. he's never conducted a criminal investigation in his life. he's never been in much less a trial jury. and he kind of retorted by saying, well, i've done a lot of very complicated appeals and civil litigation and environmental litigation and things like that. and i said that's right, you're

our colleague lawrence o'donnell has joined us. exit poll that we were talking about yesterday. these are the results in the exit poll in virginia. virginia voters turning out for the republican primary asked will you vote for the republican nominee in november. more than a third say no, i won't. just under 60% say they will. does that strike you as significant in terms of general election prospects? >> it is significant and it's something that every party always worries about. if there's a primary that's contentious at all, and this one is contentious enough. and so there's a little bit of a mystery in there because as steve pointed out, that question cuts across both potential republican nominees. you have to bet at this point that republican primary voters who are way more informed than your average republican voter know that there's only one possibility for the nominee. like, there is not a theoretical possibility for nikki haley to be the nominee when you're asking that question today. you know, leaving aal poing place today.
