we're going to keep watching and following the developments in florida. there's plenty of reason for hope. we've seen amazing things happen overtime. once this delicate work starts going. it takes time. this is not easy. it's dangerous. thank you for watching. don lemon is going to pick up the coverage with "don lemon tonight" right now. >> for the meantime, for families, it's watching and waiting and agony. like you said, chris, at this point, we should be optimistic. a long time has not gone by, where people can still be okay. they can be beneath. there's air pockets and so on. i remain optimistic. but for the families waiting and watching, 99 people unaccounted for. >> that's an interesting number, right? we don't know that those are people that for sure were all in the building.

maybe they weren't in the building. they were unregistered and stuff. this is a transient place. they come, they leave, especially in this area of florida. this is early on. it's rare that i covered these situations where you don't have people -- >> exactly. >> -- get pulled out. that said, i have not seen anything like this in america before, since 9/11, which was a much more complicated situation. but that was the last time i've seen a large number of people waiting with thing e iagony of unknown and watching the first responders come and support them and support the own angst of wanting to find people. and all of the families worried about suffering the same fate. these are hard moments. >> these are not public accommodations or not roads and bridges. but it shows the importance of taking care of structures and make sure they're up to code and up to par. and i say that because you know, we have this deal on

infrastructure. we're watching a lot, chris. we're going to let you go and get to the breaking news. see you, brother. >> i love you. >> love you, as well. this is "don lemon tonight," and we have multiple news on multiple stories. chris and i were talk about, the devastating scene in florida, as rescuers are searching nonstop right now. look at these pictures. they are searching through the night for survivors of this deadly condo collapse. surfside, florida, to be specific. this is a few miles north of miami beach. one person is confirmed dead. 99 people unaccounted for, though, it is not known if all of them were in the building at the time. the mayor of miami-dade county, saying this tonight. >> our figrefighters, men and women, are working around the clock. a huge task force of people, are

working. the dogs are working in the garage. they're working on the top. they are visible right now. they are proceeding with all of their might. >> we are standing by for any news. we're going to bring it to you in this broadcast. one fire official telling cnn that rescuers are working in 15-minute shifts. they're carrying 80 pounds worth of gear, protective equipment, and concrete saws that have to be used manually because of the unstable building. it's a tenuous situation that they're in there. at least 37 people have been pulled out of the rubble. it's been about 21 hours since the collapse. hundreds of people asleep in their beds, when that building went down, no warning, no warning, no warning. no word on the cause. we're going to go live to the scene in just a few moments and get the very latest update there. make sure you stay with us for that. as i was telling chris, as

well, we have some news coming out of washington, d.c. tonight. president joe biden, his big bet on bipartisanship paying off with the announcement that he, and a group of senators, bipartisan senators, five democrats and five republicans, agreed to the framework of an in infrastructure package, totalling $1.2 trillion over eight years. this is a ways to go to get to the finish line. but the president last week, on his overseas trip, he was talking about how democracy can survive and thrive here at home, by delivering for the american people. here it is. >> i pointed out, we have to prove to the world and to our own people, that democracy can still prevail against the challenges of our time. deliver for the needs of our people. >> today, president biden saying this is a victory for his agenda and for democracy.

>> one of the underlying questions is can democracies compete with autocratic enterprises in the 21st century. and this is a big move toward that, being able to compete. this deal means millions of good-paying jobs and fewer burdens felt at the kitchen table and across the country and safer and healthier communities. but it signals to ourselves and to the world, that american democracy can deliver. and because of that, it represents an important step forward for our country. >> you know what was absolutely lost on no one? that today's big victory was on infrastructure, right? after jokes of infrastructure gone bad. i don't know how many infrastructure weeks we had and nothing came of it. the blow up, "welcome to infrastructure week." it ease interesting that joe

biden made the deal and not the guy that thought he was a great dealmaker. he wrote the book on that, right? he claimed to write that book. we know he didn't write it. and in the face of some of the biggest issues in this country, some in the gop are determined to keep revving up that outrage machine, this time with critical race theory, using it to stoke outrage in schools across the country, where it seems like it's all anybody is talking about a and, well, yelling abou. [ chanting ] >> shame on you. shame on you. shame on you. shame on you. >> the outrage, the yelling, spreading in congress today, where someone shouted racist at a gop congressman, his name is bob good. he argued with education secretary miguel cardona, about critical race theory. >> i have an --

>> you would not challenge it legally? >> i think this is more politicized than it is about programming. >> i'm going to move on. thank you, sir. my home state of virginia, has embraced the biden administration's education policies here. and it's proof that that causes all kinds of issues. you can just see this past week in virginia's loudon county, one of the largest counties in georgia, the board of education, rather than face parental criticism, they shut down public comment. they adjourned the meeting. and they called the police to come and arrest parents who had gathered and express their grieve vance grievances to government and school officials. i hope you will not bring up a culture war and bankrupt critical race theory with taxpayer dollars. >> you heard me talk to expert after expert on this show. critical race theory is not

being taught in schools. i'll say it again. critical race theory is not being taught in grade schools. it's not about hating white people. it's about studying the fact -- that's right, the fact that systemic racism is part of american society and challenging the beliefs that allow it to continue to flourish. the fact that so many republicans keep stoking that outrage, even though their claims have been debunked over and over again. it is not being taught in grade schools. so, even though, over and over again, republicans have this outrage, it has to make you wonder, whether this is a grassroots movement or it's a cynical game. hello, everyone. we're losing the suburbs. centrist moms and dads, families, we got to do something to get them back from the democrats. let's come up with this critical

race theory thing so we can get them outraged about their kids about something that is not even happening with their kids. we can prestend and they will gt upset about it and we'll come up with a name for it. a scary name. that's what's happening. and all of the right-wing prop ghan propaganda networks are going along because they are part of the trump party, the republican party. the echo chamber that is about critical race theory is not actually being taught, is another big lie, like the lie of election fraud and a stolen election. none of it is true. the critical race theory thing is not true. same thing they did with january 6th, stoking people's anger and fear. and they're all outraged all around the country at these school board meetings for no reason because the kids are not being taught critical race theory.

over at the fox propaganda network, that's happening. over at the fox propaganda network, mitch mcconnell will have you believe that there's no need for the house select committee, and it's up to nancy pelosi today to investigate january 6th. his reason? i'll let him tell you. >> nobody is going to get away with anything. and all that participated are going to be punished. >> well, i think at least one guy who got away with something, can you think of him? i can. the guy that mcconnell voted to acquit in his second impeachment trial a month after the insurrection. and then, there's that guy's former personal lawyer, rudy giuliani. he was suspended today from practicing law in new york state, over what an appellate court called demonstrably false and misleading statements about the 2020 election. and that really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, who heard him saying things like

this -- >> they only submitted 8,021 ballots from dead people. mail-in ballots for dead people. it's probably easier for dead people to submit mail-in ballots than to vote in person. >> that piece of misinformation got him in trouble and got him suspended. what about this? at the infamous -- four seasons presser. remember, at the landscapers, not the fancy hotel. >> we cannot allow these crooks, because that's who th they are, steal an election from the american people. >> i forgot about the bronzer, the air dye dripping. that brings back memories. or this, on january 6th. >> let's have trial by combat. >> well, for now, anyway, the former president's former lawyer won't be representing anybody, which just shows you how big that big lie was.

the big lie we're living under the shadow of today. perhaps there will be cans conse consequences for the big lie of critical race theory that is not being taught to children. we'll see. let's get to the breaking news, though. i want to get to surfside, florida, where rescuers are searching all night for survivors of the condo collapse. and joining me now, surfside mayor, charles bucrkett. i know it's a busy time for you. it's a race to find survivors. give us the latest on the search and rescue efforts. >> that's all we're doing. we're just searching 24 hours a day. and we're pulling as many people out as we can. that's the whole goal right now. nothing else matters. are you hopeful that more survivors will be rescued? it has been 24 hours.

there hasn't been a lot of time that's passed. there can still be survivors. >> absolutely. we're not giving up. we're absolutely -- that's the one thing. we have hundreds of people at our community center. this is like a missing airplane. they want to know where their loved ones are. and we have a duty to make sure we do everything in our power to find them. we've got the resources. we have no problem with resources. we just have a problem with some luck. we need a little more luck. >> amen. so, firefighters have heard sounds. sounds like people banging. are those noises being heard still, mayor? >> i was out there at 2:00 this morning. we got the dogs out at 4:00. we had hits. we had hits during the day. we pulled a little boy out. we pulled his mother out, i think. it's very touch-and-go. it's raining now, which complicates the issue.

that is upsetting me because it's going to inevitably slow down the process. but we're not going to stop. we have 7:00 to 7:00 crews. at 7:00 in the morning we'll get a new crew and keep going. >> you previously mentioned there's a sister building about a block away. is there a concern that surrounding areas are still in danger? >> in the united states, buildings don't just fall down like that. there's a reason. and we have to get to understanding what happened here. this is not normal. today is not the day for that. today is the day to try to save as many people as we can. there will be a time for that. as soon as the time comes, we will be on that like you can't believe. right now, our job is getting people out of there, if we can. >> i want to talk about the coordination, the coordination effort that you talked about, between local, state and federal authorities. can you talk to us about that?

>> yeah. it's been amazing. had a call from the white house. had calls from our united states senators. they have -- senator rubio has been here. governor desantis has been here. debbie wasserman schultz has been here. she's been incredible. we have had our county mayor, mayor kava, who has drowned us in resources. we have so many resources. it's unbelievable. we need to get lucky and find as many people as possible. we have the committees and the backing and the resources, everything we need, we need that luck. >> yeah. it's so weird that just one portion of this building collapsed. and you said, now is the time for rescuing. the cause, we'll get to. and i think you're right on that. that's what you're devoting your time and attention to. you just said, you told my colleague, wolf blitzer, you're not lacking any resources. you're drowning in resources.

is there anything that your community is not getting while you have the attention of people watching? >> no. no. we really need some prayers and luck. that's all we need. we got guys that ran into the building, just like 9/11. that building was in danger of collapsing. but they ran right in and they went and they grabbed a few people that were leftover that couldn't walk out on their own. and that was amazing. there's a major silver lining to this very, very dark cloud. and those guys will be recognized when the time is right, as far as i'm concerned, and i said that to the senators and i said that to the congresswoman. they all agreed that we have incredible people working on this. and it's as good as it can be right now. but we're not going to stop. and it's, you know, we just keep going. >> mayor -- >> we keep going. with respect to the collapse. you know, you mentioned the collapse. yes. it's more than a little bit of the building. it's probably about half of the building, that we lost. and we just don't understand why. >> what do you want people to

know about the community? and also, family members, as well. it's probably not just family members in florida. they could be watching from all over the country. what do you want folks to know? >> well, they're actually -- i was just on with the president of paraguay, who has people in that building and they're arriving tomorrow. and this is a worldwide situation. and it's a catastrophe. the only thing that we can do is just stay focused and get as many people out as possible. and we will not stop lookingle with until we do. that's our focus. that's all we're going to do and bringing people out of that rubble if we can. nothing else to talk about. >> mayor of surfside, charlie burkett. thank you again. we know it is a trying time for you. thank you for joining us. if you get an update, please come back. we'll be talking about this and informing people. >> i'll do it. >> thank you so much. thank you. >> a pleasure. bye-bye. >> we have much more to come

from surf vside, florida, as rescues work through the night tonight to find survivors of the condo collapse. i'm going to ask an expert, what could have caused a tragedy like this. overtime, we should find out what happened here. but right now, trying to get the people out, the folks that were in there, they may have heard tapping or what have you. the mayor is right, attention to resources should be dedicated and focused on that. and as he said, prayers. send your good thoughts and your pr prayers to the folks in florida. back in a moment. his room. ♪ dad, why didn't you answer your phone? your mother loved this park. ♪

it's not crazy. it's a scramble. just crack an egg. rescuers searching nonstop through the night for survivors of that deadly condo collapse in surfside, florida. we've been following the breaking news for you all day here on cnn. 1 person is confirmed dead and 99 others unaccounted for, while investigators are trying to figure out how this could have happened. let's discuss. glen bell, the former president of the institute and collaborative reporting for safer structures, u.s. again, thank you for joining. we had the mayor on. and the mayor said they were

looking for people. this building stood for decades. what could have caused this to happen? very simply. >> well, there could be a lot of factors. it will be some time before we sort it out. we typically, when doing investigations like this, we're looking at construction issues, design issues, materials and alterations questions. maintenance. the primary question that the investigators are going to be focusing on is why did this building stand for 24 years and then collapse suddenly this morning? what changed? what changed in the structure and the loading and other factors inpinged on it.

we heard about detieration, reinforcing rusting and the concrete. that should be looked into. could have been a factor. had there been alterations to the building overtime. was there a load on the structure recently or at the time of the fill you're? we don't know that. >> what about gas? >> gas -- an explosion with gas? >> yeah. could that have -- >> it's happened in other structures. in fact, it happened in a very famous progressive collapse like this. in 1968, a structure in london, there was a gas explosion that cau caused a progressive collapse like this. >> the reason i'm asking, you see right through the middle.

we can show that. and if you have done that, you studied that video to check it out. i don't know if it's an explosion. you see something right about there, where it's, you know -- that could be an explosion from the collapse. i don't know. i don't know what happened. i'm just asking questions here. you see several sparks in the top left, behind the building. if it exploded like that, it would be gas and electricity and things going on. >> absolutely. at this point in time, nothing can be ruled out. what the thorough and competent investigators do is create hypotheses. and at the beginning, you have to imagine anything and everything that could have happened. and keep turning over and studying the evidence and proveling and disproving until you are down to one.

it's painstaking work and it takes a long time. >> what do you think -- >> the fact this building stood for 40 years and fell today, will be a lot of the focus of the investigation. >> if you're looking at the video -- that's a lot of the investigation, this video. are you seeing anything in that, glenn? >> i don't see the video on my screen. >> have you seen it on the air or no? >> i've watched lots of videos today. are you referring to the one that shows the collapse. >> it's from fox sports 640. some kind of tower cam, possibly. i don't have that on my screen. but gas explosion has happened before. it's one of many factors that investigators will be looking at. and i'm sure there's things that nobody has thought of and need to be investigated, as well. >> what happens if they do the search? they have to do the search and

rescue first, obviously. when that is finished, what's the focus? >> the investigative teams come in. the first thing they will be looking at is the condition of the debris. and you really focus at the beginning in evidence that could disappear. after the search and rescue is done, there is prevailing evidence. the investigators will be interested in the way that the pancake parts are lying, the way they are broken, the configuration. it's like taking a broken jigsaw picture and put it back together. and the structure will talk to you. the trained eye of a good investigate will allow you to imagine what that configuration tells you about how the -- how it initiated and progressed, the failure. that will be a lot.

they will fine details, like how things were put together. was it deterioration? >> i just have one very important question for you before i let you go here. a researcher at the florida international university's institute of environmental -- excuse me, environment, told cnn, in a recent study he found, this condo showed signs of sinking in the '90s. i'm wondering if that can be a factor here. aren't there redundancies built into buildings for sinking? >> absolutely. it's not something we can't rule out. almost every building settles to some extent. it's just a matter of the soil picks up load and it starts to strain with that. you expect something. that in and of itself isn't unusual. the other factors to think about is, generally, just a uniform

vertical movement of all of the foundations doesn't stress the building. it's the differential movement, the shearing motion, that causes the strain, that causes the stress in the structure. we really don't know if there was settlement, if it was uniform. and different structures have different tolerances. more flexible ones can absorb that really well. stiffer ones have more distress. there's a lot to talk about when we talk about settlement. >> glenn bell, thank you so much. i appreciate you coming on. >> happy to help. president biden announcing a bipartisan agreement over infrastructure. but it's not a done deal. will enough senators get onboard to overcome a filibuster? it's the most comfortable, dually-adjustable, foot-warming, temperature-balancing proven quality night sleep we've ever made. and now, the new queen sleep number 360 c2 smart bed is only $899.

a major bipartisan agreement on infrastructure is one step closer to reality, with president biden telling the american public, and i quote, we have a deal. there are a lot of hurdles to jump over before the $1.2 trillion plan ever becomes law. the president praising the work of a bipartisan group of senators saying bipartisanship is how things get done on capitol hill. but will republicans and some democrats vote for a final deal at the end of the day? i'm joined by anita dunn, senior adviser to president biden. she will say, yes, don't jinx it, don. it's going to get done. thank you, anita dunn, for joining us. the president's words, we have a deal. he is sounding optimistic. we haven't seen this kind of bipartisanship for a long, long while. we know the margins on capitol hill are tight. do you think this is going to happen? what happens next?

>> all great questions, don. at the white house today, it's infrastructure week in washington, finally. what happens next? you had something unusual today. five democrats, five republicans, who both gave up some things to come together. it's really a historic package. it's probably the largest investment in our nation's infrastructure, in roads, buses, and making sure kids aren't drinking out of lead pipes any longer. and electric vehicle charging stations, the largest investment since we built the highway system back in the 1950s. so, we believe, this package, working in tandem, with another package, that will have most of what president biden proposed in his families plan. this is what we would think as the human infrastructure. the child care and education,

paid leave, the care economy. and other things, as well, the children's tax credit. that will move in tandem with this infrastructure package. and these are things that democrats can unite behind. and with the bipartisan infrastructure package, a package that we believe republicans can vote for, as well. people have talked about infrastructure for decades in washington. now is a chance to vote on it. >> i remember the discussions. around 2006, 2007, the minneapolis bridge collapse or the minnesota bridge collapse. i want to play something the president said and i want to continue. this is what we heard from president biden today. when is the last time, if you were to ask me if i were able to get passenger rail service, $66 billion worth. largest investment ever since amtrak came about.

i asked for 90, got $66 billion. public transit, $49 billion. $49 billion for public transit. electric buses, $7.5 billion. i asked for $15 billion. i couldn't get all of it but we compromised. electric infrastructure, that is charging stations along the roads. i asked for 15. i got anita, what the president asking for there, asking for $15 billion and getting half, and so on, that's what people think about negotiating and getting to a compromise. what do you say to those in your own party who think, not big enough? >> in my party, talking about a $1.2 trillion infrastructure package, they would be pretty happy. when they see the details, they'll see a lot before. nobody is going to get everything you want when they

compromise. this is a historic set of investments in america's future in jobs, no good-paying union jobs. in jobs that allow us to compete with china and the rest of the global economies. and jobs that will help us build the clean energy future that we know this country has to start working on yesterday, don. we should have been doing this a long time ago. when the president announced he was going to run for president back in april 2019, he talked about compromise. and he said he believes in it. he believes that's how you get things done. he knows there's times when you can't find common ground with the other party. at times like that, you have to go it alone. that's what we did with the american rescue plan. that passed without one republican vote. we would see his jobs plan, moving forward in a bipartisan way. and the bulk of the families plan would move forward, probably through a reconciliation process. would hope republicans would vote for it.

>> president biden talked about this agreement as being a signal to the world that democracy can still deliver. when you look at republicans using a filibuster to block something as fundamental as voting rights and block a january 6th commission, is democracy still at risk at home? >> i think president biden has spoken about democracy always being at risk and something we always have to be defending. as a young senator, he fought to get the votings right act. as he would be the first to tell you, these aren't new issues. at the same time, in the aftermath of 2020 and those elections, what we're seeing in this country, the attempt to right goals and to make it harder for some.

it is atrocious. we're going to figure out a path forward. he's not going to stop fighting for voting rights. he's not going to stop working for legislation. we're not going to stop looking for ways in states to try to make sure that people's rights are protected. and i think you'll hear more from him next week on these issues. >> anita dunn, always a pleasure. come back early and often. or in our case, late and often. thank you so much. >> late. don, thank you for having me. >> absolutely. thanks, anita. she did stress late there. rudy giuliani spent months spreading lies about the 2020 election. now, a court has suspended him from practicing law in new york. !

a major smackdown for rudy giuliani. the former personal lawyer for president trump, who was once a

top federal prosecutor in manhattan, suspended from practicing law in new york state. an appellate court ruling, giuliani made demonstrably false and misleading statement about the 2020 election and that his conduct hurts the public interest. tom foreman has more. >> the president of the united states says, i didn't -- >> truth is a truth. mr. mayor do you realize -- this is going to become a bad meme. >> don't do this to me. >> reporter: long before a new york appellate court suspended his career -- >> wait. let me finish. >> reporter: america's mayor was melting. >> and the reason to keep all these things together, is precisely to avoid what the democrats did. >> donald trump. >> reporter: from the outset of donald trump's tumultuous term, rudy giuliani was a prize player around the oval office. >> rudy is a straight shooter. >> reporter: but others saw him

differently. >> he is the political henchman for the president. >> you're repeating spin. be but you don't, right? you don't spin anything. go ahead. >> i'm not spinning a damn thing. >> reporter: the big problem, is giuliani was neck-deep in the ukraine scandal from the get-go, despite being part of the foreign help in the 2020 election. giuliani, with no proof, said democrats were trying that trick. >> i'm a whistle-blower. >> reporter: he seemed in lockstep with all of the president's denials. >> he did nothing wrong. he didn't obstruct. >> reporter: all the time. >> no solution. no obstruction. >> reporter: if anyone doubts his connection to the commander in chief -- >> you can assume i talk to him early and often. >> reporter: any wrongdoing in trumpland, the presidents lawyer started swinging. >> shut up. shut up. you don't know what you're talking about, idiot. >> reporter: and when trump

decided to dispute his clear and fair loss in the election, giuliani was right there, too. >> dead people voted. over 300,000 ballots were counted in secret. >> reporter: pressing the case at the four seasons in philadelphia. not the hotel, the landscaping firm. and anywhere else anyone would listen. >> we cannot allow these crooks because that's what they are, to steal an election from the american people. >> reporter: for a long time, a lot of trump's critics have felt that giuliani has been running dangerously wild with his claims and should be shut down. now, the court has granted their wish, saying before the new york bar, at least for now, the former mayor has been muzzled. don? >> tom foreman, thank you so much. rudy giuliani suspended from practicing law in new york state after all his election lies. and he's not the only lawyer close to trump who is facing problems.

couple of years, perhaps, this was inevitable. but if you're talking about the scope of his entire career, this was someone known as america's mayor. we remember the infamous hardhat photograph of him approaching the screen at 9/11. he was a top federal prosecutor in the southern district of new york, what they call the sovereign district. that's how he became the mayor, because he was in a position of public trust. and up until now, according to this board, had not violated that trust. >> let's go through what the court says, okay? the court's ruling today, laura, says, we conclude there is uncontrovertible evidence -- is that the right thing? -- yes. can we back up? i think we have two different things here. back up to the beginning of this. okay. there we go. we conclude that there is uncontrovertible evidence that respondent communicated demonstrably false and

misleading statements to courts, lawmakers, and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for former president donald j. trump. these false statements were made to bolster respondent's narrative that due to widespread voter fraud, victory in the 2020 election was stolen from his conduct. we conclude his conduct immediately threatens the public interest and warrants interim suspension from the practice of law. we have too many notes and too many statements, thank you for being patient with that, laura. so threat to the public interest in pushing the big lie. this is the attorney who served as a lawyer for the president of the united states and he is in disgrace. >> he absolutely is. and of course i hear all of that, and i think about the umbrella term "a duty of candor." lawyers have the obligation, i know people oftentimes consider lawyers to be oftentimes the underbelly of society, i know

they can have different roles, they're sometimes a champion, other times they're vilified. but ultimately lawyers are supposed to exercise this duty of candor and honor, meaning they can't just tell lies to the court. they're supposed to obviously put up a defense, put forgeth a case, but they have to be honest and cannot be misleading. he's unlike perhaps a politician who is only exercising in the court of public opinion or in legislative activities. he actually was trying to present false statements to the court. remember, it's not just the oath you must take if you're testifying. when a lawyer comes into the courtroom and is before a judge, they are expected to put forth statements that are honest and truthful. they may have some distinctions and nuances based on their case. but if he's making statements that are directly contrary to the facts, meaning -- remember, at one point in time his actual client, the campaign, i believe,

was saying they weren't putting forth certain statements. he came up and had the opposite thought and had to be corrected in the courtroom. this misleading nature undermines his credibility in the courts. it smacks of a lack of ethics, a lack of integrity, a lack of honesty, and most importantly, don, they associated that with what happened on january 6th, in terms of the immediacy of the threat of allowing him to continue in that role. this was a former mayor of new york city, the former sdny top prosecutor, and the former president of the united states' attorney. this is extraordinary. >> hey, laura, i've got to go, i'm already over time, you know because you sit in this chair so you know what i deal with, and i'm really bad, i get in trouble a lot. in court today, the my pillow guy and sidney powell were in court saying their speech is

protected. is that winning argument? >> no. you're low on time. no. >> thank you, laura. coming up, the latest from the south florida condo collapse, next. ♪ don't flex your pecs. terminix. people everywhere living with type 2 diabetes are waking up to what's possible with rybelsus®. ♪ you are my sunshine ♪ ♪ my only sunshine... ♪ rybelsus® works differently than any other diabetes pill to lower blood sugar in all 3 of these ways... increases insulin... decreases sugar... and slows food. the majority of people taking rybelsus® lowered their blood sugar and reached an a1c of less than 7. people taking rybelsus® lost up to 8 pounds.
