five days, laura, count them, five days until election day and the biggest names in politics are criss-crossing the country this week trying to make their final campaign pitch. >> we've been talking about a

handful of key races that could really determine who controls the house and senate and if the gop takes back congress, this country could look and feel very different. that's been part of the conversation people are having about what is at stake, right? >> absolutely. we don't have to guess. republicans have basic which he told us what they plan to do if they win back the house and take the senate. i think this is a good opportunity for dueling panels to hear what both our panels think about all this and predict. i'll go first. >> how much time on the clock today? >> let's do four minutes. >> all right. >> put up four minutes. okay. there we go. i want it bring in cnn political commentator scott jennings along with molly john fast, special correspondent for vanity fair. basically what we've heard from republicans, scott, like matt gaetz and even congresswoman nancy mayes she's heard in the hallway is there will be

impeachment hearings. that's one of the things the republicans want to do if they win back the house. why do you look skeptical? >> they're not going to impeach joe biden. i think there will be a lotful investigations of joe biden. >> what about mayorkas? >> republicans are very upset about the border crisis but specifically with him and republicans are hearing from border agent that are very upset with mayorkas. >> so there could be impeachment? >> impeachment's a huge step, but that guy, i think steve scalise said in september he'll have a reserved spot at the capitol for his parking because he's going to be up there so often. >> molly, what do you think will happen? >> you'll have a fight between the maga caucus and the more normal republicans. it's going to play out and i think the maga caucus is going to win and i think it's going to be a lot of investigations, maybe an impeachment and i

think ultimately the american people are going to be pretty horrified by it. >> when you say impeachment, they would try to impeach biden? i can't predict the future, but there's sternly a lot of appetite for pageantry and spectacle and those things i think are going to turn voters off. >> it's interesting, david, because when mccarthy was asked about that, he sounded like he wasn't eager to launch something like that. he said today, "well, anytime you're using federal money every time there needs to be a check and balance," because they have obviously -- so many republicans have said there was a huge waste of time and huge waste of taxpayer dollars impeaching donald trump twice. >> shout out bakersfield, high school. you may have your first speaker of the house. i don't think it's a done deal yet, but if kevin mccarthy is the speaker of the house, i think he and others in leadership will probably try to put the brakes on an impeachment. i'm not going to predict an impeachment of president biden, but there will be a big push

from the house republican caucus to impeach president biden. it very well could happen. i don't think they get their bang for their buck out of trying to impeach secretary mayorkas. they want to go after joe biden. >> if kevin mccarthy were to become speaker, would he be able to rein in the people pushing for this like matt gaetz? >> he'll have a big job to try to rein all these factions in. there's so many republicans want to do. people are mad at biden, mad on the hunter thing. i talked to the oversight chairman to be jamie comer and they think it's no longer a hunter biden investigation, that it's a joe biden investigation. they think they've got evidence connecting joe biden to things with hunter biden. the afghanistan withdrawal is going to be another huge folk on us with the aforementioned border stuff. there's a huge buffet of things republicans have a real

appetite for. >> you know what's so interesting, in terms of wasting taxpayer dollars and everything, the people in the base of maga, they do have an appetite for this. they can do this all day long. >> there's a reason marjorie taylor greene is so good with small dollar donations because the base loves it. the problem is the critical mass doesn't. you do stuff like this once you've won the primary, this is your primary group. this is not enough to win a general and i think ultimately that's going to be what really comes back. >> david, you have eight seconds. >> if republican goes after afghanistan, will they acknowledge that president trump was the one who negotiated the withdrawal agreement with the taliban? >> we'll let that hang, that question. excellent job, guys. laura, over to you. >> we got four minutes. we've got john berman, ashley allison and brendan buck are all back. a lot of things are happening now in terms of what is different if democrats are no longer the majority. if crime is the issue, can

republicans course correct in a way that actually persuades voters? >> they'll make crime the big issue. i don't know there's a lot congress will do to solve the crimes, a local effort in a lot of places. basically the republicans say they'll fight to not defund the police. they will do a lot of messaging votes. that's what you do when you're the majority in the house and have divided government. you're passing bills to put democrats in a bad spot and kevin mccarthy is very good at that. >> congress is supposed to be making the law and legislating issues. that sounds very counterintuitive to people that they don't have to do anything about it, just kind of messaging. does that seem odd? >> that's why people are frustrated with washington. i think it's funny everything that republicans are saying they're going to do, hunter biden and all that, people get to vote in four days and they talk about democrats not doing anything, but i don't hear any of them talking about what

they're actually going to do to protect workers, women, people of color, what they're going to do about inflation. >> the post newt gingrich contact of america, you're saying it's not precise enough. >> no. they aren't talking about that's what they're going to do if they get the house. they're holding oversight hearings they're saying and, yes, i think congress serves an important purpose to do oversight hearings when necessary, but trying to impeach joe biden, is that really what voters want the republicans to do if they take control of the house? no. >> speaking of impeachment, we have new news and a new soundbite tonight where the former president donald trump was in iowa stumping for grassley and also kim reynolds and he tint talked about the idea of him getting ready to run. listen. >> in order to make our country successful and safe and

glorious, i will very, very, very probably do it again, okay? very, very, very probably. very, very, very probably. >> very, very, very probably. are you convinced? >> look, i'm convinced all along. first of all, if this is dueling panels, our banjos are much better than in new york. i think trump has done everything to build the apparatus or at least the momentum to run again. i think the news you reported with the department of justice leaning into these investigations and maybe appointing a special council may be reason enough for him to run at least in the short term to make some kind of announcement that he's doing it because the sooner he does it, the more it forces doj to make some very tough decisions. if he puts off the decision whether to run and says, "i'm not going to decide till next year," he'll get charged if they're going to charge him. >> brendan, what do you think? is he very, very, very almost

probably mind kind of sort of? >> i always assumed he was going to run again. i think this is still his party. you have people who try to imitate donald trump. voters like what donald trump is selling. i think if anybody runs against him, he'll have a pretty easy time. people don't agree with me much, but i'm very skeptical that even a ron desantis would bother to challenge him. he has a stranglehold on the party and when you are handed the nomination and potentially challenging a very wounded incumbent president, you don't just pass that up, especially if you're donald trump. you love this stuff. you love being on the stage. i'm absolutely certain he's going to be running. i'm not certain. i'm very confident. >> maybe you should say you're very, very probably maybe sort of think this might actually happen one day. i don't know a long list of words to describe what could be said yes or no. >> first of tall, laura, scott jennings is from kentucky, okay? tell that to massachusetts boy over there. when does he think knows banjos

and bluegrass better than the kentucky guy? >> i think you're making vast assumptions there. there are very rural regions of the greater boston area. >> where banjo music is played? >> very rural area in massachusetts. >> we do consider berman an honorary redneck in kentucky. >> i guess he does know banjo music, all right, fair. >> it's interesting, alisyn. you heard from trump. is that the closest he's gotten to saying what he'll do because that's a whole lot of words where he could have just said yeah, i'm going to do it or no, i'm not. he just seems to be dangling the carrot and i wonder if there's a stick coming. >> very trumpesque to give something as indecisive as that, but oprah winfrey has just endorsed fetterman in pennsylvania and it's just interesting in this particular race because that means she's not endorsing her protegee, dr.

mehmet oz who she, let's face it, made famous. >> it's true. that's really kind of stunning and also the idea the why and the now. they are early voting there. they could vote right now in pennsylvania based on that endorsement and not even wait till say tuesday, but i wonder why there has been the push now. i wonder what that is reflective of. i wonder what dr. oz is thinking. oh, to be a fly on that wall. >> let's play it. >> i will tell you all this. if i lived in pennsylvania, i would have already cast my vote for john fetterman for many reasons. >> that's all you get. you don't hear the specific reasons, but apparently there are many of them. >> when oprah says it, i don't know how people question it. we'll see. we want to know what you all think about this. tweet us. use the hashtag.

we'll be right back. ah, these bills are crazy. she has no idea she's sitting on a goldmine. well she doesn't know that if she owns a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more she can sell all or part of it to coventry for cash. even a term policy. even a term policy? even a term policy! find out if you're sitting on a goldmine. call coventry direct today at the number on your screen, or visit coventrydirect.com.

so, alisyn, tomorrow at twitter's headquarters in san francisco and at their offices around the world the doors are going to be locked and employee badges will be disabled. why? because twitter's new owner, elon musk, the self-described chief twit, will according to news reports be laying off he says about half the workforce. >> half the workforce and no one knows who. it's this like ominous sweepstakes that they're going to be getting basically in this memo sent to twitter staff this evening. employees were told, "if your employment is not impacted, you will receive a notification via your twitter email and if your employment is impacted, you will receive a notification with next steps via your personal email." >> the memo concluded acknowledging that it will be, "an incredibly challenging experience to go through," for

the workforce. this sounds very harsh. for people to look at this and get these emails, know that their badges are disabled, i know for many it's business, just business as usual for some things, but this just seems like what a complete about face and the idea thinking i mean just seems cruel in some respects. >> it's going to be a sleepless night for thousands of people because the memo also says to staff that they got tonight by 9 a.m. pacific time on friday everyone will receive an individual email with the subject line your role at twitter. so everybody gets the same subject line and then you have to click on it to see do i still have a job or do i not have a job? as you said, laura, half the workforce will be laid off. what elon musk has done in just the space of a few days since he has taken over has been really cataclysmic. >> people have mortgages, rent to pay, child care, their own

bills. i'm sad for the people who by 9 a.m. are thinking to themselves what's next for me? unbelievable. >> for sure. >> we'll see what happens. we want to get to this because there are new developments in the murder of 22-year-old gabby petito. her parents filed a $50 million wrongful death lawsuit against the moab city police department today alleging its officers were negligent in those interactions that you've seen on the police body cam video basically. those were the ones with gabby and her fiancee two weeks before her death last summer. the lawsuit accuses the police department and its officers of failing to follow the law and failing to protect gabby petito during that investigation into a domestic disturbance in august. that was just weeks before brian laundrie killed her. here with me now with the latest developments is john miller, cnn chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst and cnn legal analyst

jennifer rogers. we've all seen the video where she's sort of sequestered in this area and being interviewed by police. brian laundrie is over here and she's crying and upset and then they leave. >> right. you've got two officers. they're very polite, seem compassionate, act professionally, but they're in a bit of a quandary. she has a scratch and blood on her face. she says, "i hit him. he didn't hit me. he grabbed my face after i hit him first." so they're trying to figure out how do we resolve this? do we arrest her even though she appears she might be the victim? do we arrest him even though he agrees with her story that she hit him? so they try to split the difference by getting her to agree to stay somewhere else, take her to a hotel, figure that will give her a cooling off period and time to reach out if she wants to go home and then, of course, this ends with her being dead, him returning home and so on. >> did they handle that the way

new york police would handle it? is that how police are trained to handle it? >> these are some of the most complex situations police encounter because what you expect if you're perfectly trained in this is passiveness on the part of the victim, denial anything happened, self- blaming, it was my fault. those come with it and at the same time sometimes those aren't the signs. so i think they did the best they could. this was reviewed by another police department who sent a captain over, a place from 100 miles away, and went over it and said look, by utah law and their procedure they should have taken action which would have been, by the way, that might have been them arresting her or arresting him if they decided that wasn't the true story. what they tried to do was some kind of compromise that they thought would resolve the situation. arresting her would have been counterintuitive, but by the book it said if there was an injury and sign of abuse or an

admission of abuse and they had both in opposite directions, that they should have taken some action that would have put it into the legal system. >> legally does this lawsuit stand up from her family? >> listen, it's hard to feel anything but sympathy for the parents here. their daughter is dead. their killer is dead and where is there going to be accountability, but it's a tough case. i think it's an uphill battle as a legal matter. you have to prove negligence on the part of the police and then causation, this was a factor in her death, the fact two week beforehand they didn't do something that would have stopped them from getting back together and stopped events from moving moving forward and stopped her death. that's very hard to do. with the examations we know most of what there is to know

her. >> molly, in some ways it's sadly so textbook that she's crying, she has a scratch and this is all my fault basically she says. >> it's not necessarily whether they win. it's this idea they're encouraging cops to do better, right? there's so much domestic violence in america and so many times stops like this could save a life. so i almost feel like if they're just getting police to do better with their training to make sure they stop more domestic violence, the job of police is to prevent crimes, right? and here they had an opportunity to prevent a crime. so i almost feel like even if they don't win, what they're doing is spotlighting something really important. >> should one of them have been arrested and taken in? from the video when you watch it with your vast experience, should one of them have been arrested? >> that would be the procedure in utah, that in this case somebody should have been charged. that was the finding of the

review. i think the police officers were struggling with what do we do with a victim who says, "i'm not the victim. i started it. i hit him," and with him corroborating that story? there's also the conference of all right, we're going to take the action because that's what the book says, but are we doing the right thing and when we get to court, they're going to say, "wait, you arrested her instead of him?." >> you do want police to go by the book or when they get there, do you want them to feel it out? >> domestic violence is one of the most complicated areas. one of the reasons they put into effect these must arrest laws if you see a physical injury even if the complainant won't press charges is that the law has come to learn and understand that these things are hard and they are often not what they appear. >> that's really interesting. just take the guesswork out of it. that makes a lot of sense.

thank you all very much. i appreciate all of the insight. laura, that makes sense. the law takes the guesswork out of it for police so they don't have to figure out who is guilty in the exact moment, but it failed here. >> i used to prosecute domestic violence cases, alisyn, and it's such a difficult thing to do. you've got tempers, passion, sometimes the most volatile scenarios. officers are often trained if they're responding to a domestic violence call to expect there could be violence. in might be an opportunity they have to defend even themselves. there's so many aspects of it and when you think about where we were in the search for gabby petito as well as so many other people who have been missing and likely at the hands of those who are loved ones, what a sad story that continues really. next up, we'll talk about the battlegrounds that could determine the balance of power in the senate. we'll look at utah where there is not even a democrat in the

race. that's next. on more surfaces than lysol disinfectant spray. lysol. what it takes to protect.

evan mcmullin with 40% of the vote. he ran for president in 2016 and utah was his best state. he didn't win utah then and it doesn't look like he'll win utah now. that said, mike lee is up in the race, but that's not because voters love mike lee. his approval rating is just 41%. his disapproval is right nearby at 39%. that would normally spell trouble for an incumbent or at least a tight race. why isn't it that tight of race in the state of utah? look at the party affiliation of utah voters. the clear majority of them, 52%, are registered republicans. unaffiliated another 34%, democrats at 14%. even if you add these two together, you come short of republicans at 52%. if evan mcmullin did pull off the win and a republican lost, that would be a lot of history because the last time a democrat won in the state of

utah was 1970. obviously mcmullin is not a democrat, but he's kind of the de facto one in this case. >> marry, thank you very much. really interesting, laura. they don't love their senator, but they're going to vote for him. >> thinking about the idea we're talking about a battleground state, we think so much about this two-party system and here we have a state where the independent candidate saying he won't even caucus with one of the parties if, in fact, he were to win. what does that mean about the balance of power? that's really the question everyone is asking right now. if an independent wins, does that mean there is a sure majority leader, schumer, mcconnell? everything else stays the same. >> good question. ask your guest. >> that's so wonderful of you to lead that in. our next guest is encouraging utah democrats to abandon party this election and to back an independent candidate, evan mcmullin. joining us now ben mcadams,

former democratic congressman from utah and former mayor of salt lake city. you have been a state senator in utah. suffice to say, you know the voters in utah and so for a lot of people looking at this, they're saying hold on. why isn't there a democratic candidate? is it because they just wouldn't win and so throw your weight behind the possibility of anyone other than mike lee? was that the thought? >> look, evan mcmullin is a known independent. he ran as you said as an independent for president in 2016. people know him. democrats in my lifetime have never competed in the u.s. senate race. i'm 48 years old. we've never even -- usually we lose by 30 to 40%. evan mcmull lynn gets in mcmullin gets in the race and said i want to run a coalition. now we have a battleground race in the state of utah. >> i'm curious about how that balance of power question can

be resolved because he has said look, he's not going to caucus if mcmullin were to win. he wouldn't caucus with democrats or republicans. that is in contrast to say an angus king or bernie sanders, both of whom are independents but chose to caucus with democrats. that wouldn't necessarily be the case. did that factor into your decision to support him and is it factors into the minds of voters? >> utah democrats know evan mcmullin is an independent. we also know who mike lee is. mike lee conspired with president trump to insert fake electors and try to overturn the will of the voters. when i was going to utah democrats saying we should not have a candidate in this race and support an independent, center right, conservative at that. i said there's too much at stake to do anything different. we have seen efforts to overturn the election. we don't know what's going to happen in 2024. utah democrats should come together to support a

principalled independent who will listen to us sometimes. we know he's a person of integrity. he respects voting invites and the constitution and he'll work to heal our democracy and that for me was an easy decision. we know where mike lee will be, who he'll caucus with, what policies he'll support, but to have somebody who is truly independent and will do what's right for our country and the state of utah, that was an easy decision. >> when people think about the democrats versus republicans versus independents, of course, the word spoiler candidate can come up in some respects thinking about third party, but in reality i think one of the things people are thinking about here is the idea of being an independent candidate, that does not translate to not having a platform to being neutral on all subjects. it means there's going to be a platform that he is putting forth and that sometimes it will agree with republicans or democrats, but it's not in lock step with either party, right? >> that's right. you went through the numbers.

you saw democrats in the state of utah are 14% of registered voters. the sad reality, it's hard for me to say this, but the sad reality was the democrat would have been the spoiler in this race. by joining with evan mcmullin we have a chance to win. he has strong opinions on a lot of things. he's spoken boldly about efforts to overturn the election and what we need to do going forward to protect the vote. he's spoken boldly about marriage equality, about climate change and taking steps to address climate change to address inflation, to recognize that we've got to do more to expand access to healthcare. he's got some really attractive positions but is approaching this as an independent willing to work with republicans and democrats. i've watched his campaign from a distance and up close and think he's an aspiring candidate who has brought a lot

of enthusiasm in this race and has inspired democrats in utah to get behind this movement of him as an independent. it's put utah on the map nationally as a state that usually is a sleeper and now we have a competitive race that's getting national attention. >> he did do a pretty good showing in the 2016 presidential race in utah. 21.3% of the votes compared to hillary clinton, 27% of the vote, trump obviously got 45. is that enough given the polling that seems to suggest mike lee is still ahead by 13 percentage points in the forecast? i'm wonder doing you think even though he has performed better in the past, performed well and even though there are democrats who are throwing their weight behind him, is it enough to unseat an incumbent? >> we're feeling optimistic going into the election next week. we've seen a lot of energy from voters. democrats, independents, republicans, people are energized and excited about this race. this is a race that six years

ago mike lee won by 40 percentage points, probably spent $100,000 to win this race walking away with it. now we see that republicans and right wing groups have spent $20 million defending a u.s. senate seat in utah. we've got a candidate that's energized moderate voters, democratic voters who are turning out to vote for evan mcmullin and to vote in other critical races. we're feeling good going into election day there is a chance evan mcmullin pulls off a win, but we have shown regardless there's a lane for holding accountable right wing leaders who are willing to cater to special interests and party bosses more than the people of america and people of utah. there's a lane to hold them accountable and make them have to work for their election and hopefully to unseat them with people who are upset with the job that mike lee has done as our senator. >> it does put into perspective

that lee, the idea 40% victory in the past and now having only about a 13% advantage. thanks so much for your time. >> thank you. now the question is on a very different front why did two black radio hosts hold the trademark for white lives matter? what they're going to tell us next.

we want you to meet two black radio hosts in arizona who are taking the action to stop the phrase white lives matter which is often used by white supremist groups and has been called a racist response to the black lives matter movement. the anti-defamation league called it a hate slogan and it most recently popped up by t- shirts designed by kanye west. ramses ja and quinton ward host the nationally broadcast radio show. good to see you. ramses, what do you plan to do with this trademark of white lives matter? >> well, at present we plan to do nothing. nothing is plenty as you can

imagine. we have lawyers advising us on how to best protect the trademark. so it will not be used to hurt, harm, trigger any people and as long as we are the people in the position to decide how it is used in commerce, we will do our best to minimize the effect that it may have on people, especially black and brown people. >> quinton, just explain that. you by design don't plan to do anything with it and that means nobody else can. is that the point? >> at present, yes. and just to make it clear, we didn't purchase or pursue the mark. it was actually assigned to us by one of our listeners. >> so one of your listeners got the trademark and anonymously, as i understand it, gave it to you. >> yes. >> what i think is so

fascinating about this, gentlemen, is a lot of people don't realize you have the right to trademark certain phrases in connection with a product in particular and what was so ingenious i think about this original notion was that if you trademark something, then obviously it cannot be used by other people. you've got to obviously police that and make sure it's not being used, but it was the goal that i think is so fascinating that everyone needs to know about because you were a little bit concerned about being able to and others being able to exploit this particular phrase, being able to profit off of it and that was really the driving force of why it was assigned, why it was given in the first place, but speak to us a little bit about why it's so important to you, to have this not be able to be profited off of in the time we're in. >> yeah. i'll go first. so it's really about controlling who can profit from it. again, we have to be very careful about the language here because trademarks are a little

tricky, but in terms of how it feels to be at the helm of this moment, i can say that it feels good to see people's reaction to it, to see people feel like they have a reason to smile. the past few weeks have been heavy for a lot of people, been triggering for a lot of people. so that feels good and again, we'll do right by folks. >> go ahead. >> i'm sorry. >> no. go ahead. >> i was going to say seeing that phrase on a t-shirt, imagine i'd like to paint a picture sitting on your porch and someone walking up to your home with a confederate flag over one shoulder, a trump flag over the other shoulder, make america great again hat on, a t- shirt that says white lives matter on the front and that says slavery was a choice on the back and imagine that person holding a bullhorn and saying through it george floyd was not killed by police, but

he died from a drug overdose. imagine how that would make you feel and then explain to me why i should feel different because the person wearing all of that stuff is a creative genius. >> the picture you paint is really important, also the idea of why and to that point so many people have been asked to compartmentalize based on what you've said, the idea it's okay as long as it's somebody who is not white who is wearing it or somebody is able to be applauded for a very different aspect of his life. that's most important to you, to be able to remove the opportunity to capitalize on that. >> exactly. you know, again, we feel like, in fact, it's well documented that the term white lives matter rose up in opposition to the affirmation that black lives matter. it has never been in question whether or not white lives have mattered in this country. it's a given.

we know that. everyone knows that. we felt in our community that we needed to say black lives matter, particularly after the death of trayvon martin and so again, these other matter terms and phrases have rose up in opposition to that to weaken the message, to dilute the movement and to just be contradictory in nature to give other people talking points in a conversation when the phrase was originally intended to affirm our lives having value. and so again, being at the helm of something like this, being able to be the decider feels very important. it's among the heaviest things that we've had to do as radio hosts of a social justice radio show that we do because we believe in the greater good of all people. we believe that we can come together across cultural lines, racial lines, tribal lines and have conversations and really

grow. that's at the heart of everything we're trying to do and we believe that the maneuver that -- or rather the position that we've taken will yield the most good for the most people. that's our hope and we're going to do our best to do right by everyone. >> quinton, very quickly, that picture that you painted of, you know, how sort of offputting it was, what's your message to kanye west with or ye as he goes by and candace owens who were the ones who wore those t-shirts so publicly? >> i'm actually glad you asked that question because a lot of people who see the headline in the picture, assume that we have some personal beef or problem with kanye west or ye and we don't, right? we just don't like the hurt that comes from that message, whether it be intentional or not, and we're just trying to limit as much as we can the amount of people that have to relive trauma or be triggered or feel pain from a message

that had such negative intentions. >> ramses ja and quinton ward, thank you very much for explaining to us why you are hanging onto this trademark and what your plan is, really great to talk to you about all this. >> really important discussion. thank you. >> we appreciate your time. thank you so much. on a much lighter note, $1.5 billion, that's the powerball jackpot right now. if you think they're getting bigger, you're not wrong. we'll talk about why there's $1 billion jackpots now and what you would buy with all that. so you can sound off now, #cnnsoundoff. we'll read your tweets next. >> and we'll also give you half. . with mucinex,

it's not cold and flu season. it's always comeback season.

all right, everyone. don't turn off your tv and run

out to the nearest corner store when we tell you this, but we think that you should know the powerball jackpot currently stands at a whopping $1.5 billion, yes, with a b. >> the next drawing is saturday night at 11:00 p.m. you know what's interesting, laura? it's not our imagination. the jackpots are getting larger. this is the second over a $1 billion jackpot this year and there have been five since 2016 and i found out why. according to cnbc, in 2015 basically they're making it harder to win the jackpot since then. they've added more numbers and more number combinations. so yes, the jackpots are getting bigger, but it's getting harder to win them. no wonder i'm not winning. >> the victory is that much sweeter, then. it's time to sound off and see what you are saying tonight. this was on what they would do with the winnings if they won

that lotto. they say give a huge chunk to my local food bank. that's good karma. >> that is wonderful. okay. we should probably just leave it there for the evening. that is a wonderful way to end. you know where to find us. thanks so much for watching, everybody! >> our coverage continues. get your ticket. >> i will. and so much more. it's an 8 in 1 immune support formula. airborne. do more.
