8:00 pm
>> hi everyone, thanks for tuning in to this hour where we bring you tomorrow's news tonight. we have our great lineup of reporters here with me we have, and as that yurkevich, danny freeman, omar jimenez, and jessica dean. also joining us, especially parachuting in for this, is evan perez. evan, thanks so much for being here. okay, special counsel john durham replaces federal, tonight more than 300 pages concluding that the fbi should never have launched a full investigation into connections between donald trump's campaign and russia during the 2016 election. but, no recommendations for any
8:01 pm
new charges, or wholesale changes in how the fbi handles politically-charged investigations. so, jessica is here with that story, but also evan perez is joining us from washington. okay evan, just walk us through the bottom line of this report. >> well, the bottom line after four years, alison, this is all we got from john durham. there's a lot less here than certainly donald trump was paul promising us for many months, remember he was out there saying durham is coming, and he was expecting people to go to prison. as you pointed out, durham does not make any new prosecutions at the end of this report. but you know, he did find a lot of mistakes by the fbi in the way they conducted this investigation back in 2016, and he believes that a lot of it has to do with confirmation bias, not political bias. again, a finding that i think the former president would not
8:02 pm
be very happy with. i will read you just a part of what the report says, it says that based on the review of crossfire hurricane, and related intelligence activities, we conclude that the justice department and fbi failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law and connection with certain events and activities described in this report. it goes on, he goes on to say, that the fbi discounted or willfully ignored material information that did not support the narrative of a collusive relationship between trump and russia. a lot of criticism, again, for the fbi, but i'll just throw some numbers at you. 6 million pages is what he said he went through, there were 480 interviews, 190 grand jury subpoenas. he spent a lot of time on this investigation, and there is not much to show for it. >> okay, well that sounds incredibly thorough. evan, there was also this 2019 report from the doj inspector
8:03 pm
general that had other findings. it found the fbi investigation was justified and unbiased, so how does that report square with the new one? >> yeah look, there's a lot of differences between the two reports, but we will highlight just one of them, here. one of them has to do with lisa page, who was a former fbi lawyer, and peter strzok who was leading a counter intelligence activities at the fbi. in the durham port, he says that peter strzok and lisa page were directly involved in matters relating to opening crossfire hurricane, and then of course if you compare that to what the horowitz report says, he says that lisa page attended some of the discussions regarding opening up this investigation, she did not play a role in the decision to open cross fire hurricane, or the four in the investigations. these two became, certainly a
8:04 pm
fixation for the former president, for republicans, because they're having an affair, and a lot other text messages came out in the middle of the mueller investigation, and was used, really, to discredit the work that was being done to investigate these very, very suspicious ties between people associated with trump, and of course the russians. and so, that is one reason why highlighting that difference of opinion there, these two investigative teams, alisyn looked at all of the same things and came away with completely different conclusions. >> really interesting, evan perez thank you very much. so jessica, you know, obviously former president trump has invested interest in all of this. has he talked about the findings from today? >> this is not gonna surprise anyone, yes he had some comments on this. and in a way that we would expect him to. he's going to shade this as a big victory. we just heard evan lay out what was there, these two contrasting reports. but trump, and look, at the end
8:05 pm
of this investigation, trump was saying people are going to go to prison, he was really hanging a lot on this, right? and talking about it a lot, and now we have at the end of this investigation, and it really -- no one -- there were not wholesale large groups going to -- prison >> two of them are acquitted by juries. >> correct, that's exactly right. >> so one person, i don't hear the person to -- jail >> that's right, that's exactly right. here's what he said, just so everybody knows what the former president is saying, he did post on truth social and he tries to frame this, i think we can put it up for everybody, there it is right there. wow, after extensive research special counsel john durham concludes the fbi should've never wants a trunk russia probe. in other words, the american public was scammed, just like it's being scam now by those who don't want to see greatness for america. that is what the former president is saying, i would expect we hear more about this on the campaign trail. >> he didn't actually conclude that they should never have launched it, that should not
8:06 pm
have done a full investigation. there's different gradations in investigations. >> there is nuance to, it right? and that can be complicated. new ones can be hard for people. >> whenever you do these types of investigations, i think all of us reading are waiting for this big, whether it's a recommendation of charges, whether it's a recommendation of, sure, maybe shouldn't have launch a full scale investigation, but here's what you should run differently. it does not seem like there is any full scale changing of the fbi that is recommended, or obviously no indictments recommended. so what does this report actually do, outside of a slap on the wrist? >> i think that is such a great point. and it really comes down to congress and his allies in the house that really want to push this, and use it. we have heard since they took -- since they took over the house in january that they have this special investigation going on about the alleged politicize a shin of the fbi, doj, that jim jordan has been leading.
8:07 pm
and that is something that they have gone back to over and over again, really trying to make this point, and trying to make this case. and of course, this was really, kind of, a president of sorts for jim jordan and his committee. they now, jordan has now requested that durham come and testify on the hill next thursday. >> so they're happy with it? >> they are thrilled. >> after four years, they are pleased with this outcome? >> yes, and they want to use this as a way to continue to drive forward their message, and to continue to try and push their agenda that they believe that there has been a weaponization of these law enforcement agencies against americans, specifically republicans. i want to play this clip for you, my colleague melanie actually caught up with jim jordan earlier today, and we have that, i think it's important to listen to. >> but it more than confirms
8:08 pm
all the things that we've been saying, now. >> and what kind of questions do you want to ask him? >> i think it's important to come and say that, [inaudible] to hear from the guy who obviously did a thorough job -- >> and again, you him jim jordan saying this confirms everything we've been trying to say. so again, really politicizing this report and using it to further the agenda of that investigative committee. so it remains to be seen if durable actually come and testify next week, but jordan has requested in addition to coming that he be prepared to answer questions from various members on that committee, and also to kind of give short, concise report on the report, essentially. and walk them through all of it. and it is worth noting too that we're in from other house gop members are now calling for consequences for the fbi -- >> like what? >> well, defunding. we have heard defund them. i mean look, these are extreme
8:09 pm
positions and i think you have to remember that these are people really on the far right, but -- that is kind of the top right now? >> i mean, what i understood was that director wray had made changes. there were things that they uncovered during the course of all of these years to the fbi get wrong, particularly as it came to the positive warrants, and off of the court. i think that director wray had already testified that he had made some changes to the process in terms of the full investigation, but i think it's interesting weather going to do next. >> what they are going to do next. important to remember it is a divided congress. we -- on the senate side the democrats do have the majority there, the house has kevin mccarthy, the house speakers run of the very small majority. it's not like there's going to be some sweeping new changes that congress passes through. it is more what this boils down to is, it is talking points. they are able to raise money off of this. >> it's a victory lap for
8:10 pm
president trump. i think to your point, we are going to hear him out on the campaign trail talking about this time, and time again. and essentially i think he's going to say look, in the simplest terms, look, they found nothing. and then he's going to try to potentially use that to, kind of, oversimplify other investigations that might be happening. and i think it's probably going to play very well with his subordinates. >> danny, hold that thought for a second, because we're just getting some new video in untold. we are about to all look at this for the first time, it's the disturbing, this is the man who allegedly attacked congressional staffers at congressman gerry connolly's office in virginia with a baseball bat this morning. he was identified by neighbors as a person captured on their home security camera. this morning wielding about, chasing a woman in the neighborhood. this is security video, it was provided by cnn by a homeowner who lives near the suspect, and it shows a woman screaming, as she flees from a man with a bat. yes's time step as occurring at
8:11 pm
10:34 a.m., that is before the attack and congressional office. and again, it is disturbing. >> [screaming] hey! what are you doing, call the police. [screaming] hey take a picture. they're coming. >> now two neighbor said the man you just saw in the video was, allegedly, the same person who was arrested following the attack at congressman connolly's office in fairfax, virginia. obviously, we will keep following that. well that is terrifying. >> 10:30 in the morning you are getting your coffee, your morning paper in this happens, it's absolutely terrifying. >> i think it also, you know -- if the neighbors alleges the same person, i think it gives you insight to the mindset that this person was clearly in from before the attack even happened,
8:12 pm
at the office itself. this was clearly something that, just based on that video, had been bubbling up from the beginning, the morning. he's already aggressive with people around him in the neighborhood, and so, obviously if there's an investigation that plays out, and we move forward with whatever is charged. i think that gives very good insight into what type of person we are dealing with. >> was also scary is, you can hear the terror in her voice. there's something about, it's not a gun, right? it is someone carrying something, approaching you, and then there's that moment where this could be a normal interaction it's a person holding about playing with their kids, but then you come after someone. i can't imagine the fear that was going through that woman, and allegedly, that officer's mindset earlier. >> that does give us insight into what it was before the staffers, like as well. >> can i just say quickly to, i spent most my taste on capitol hill after the january 6th. there is just --
8:13 pm
a general harm of anxiety that still pulses through that building. when it comes to potential violence coming into that building, or exactly what we saw today going into officers, or attacking somebody. >> do you go through mega time? others >> every day. >> but when you go in the building you feel like there could be some that will happen? >> yeah, and i think that's a general feeling from people who work there. staffers, media, members. i think there's a real sensitivity to it. obviously, everyone's doing their work and trying to, you know, get through the day. but there is such a sensitivity to this sort of thing, and you see this happen, to see these two staffers who were attacked with a metal baseball bat, one of them in turn first day on the job. it is just a very scary thing, and it simply underscores where we are in this country, that this sort of thing happens. >> thank you for sharing that. okay, coming up, danny's gonna

8:19 pm
control. it was a huge deal, but after the dust settled, it was a one seat margin. they have control of the state house of representatives by one seat. then in march, a democratic state representative resigns because of harassment scandal, and then a seat is open. and this one seat that is open, delaware county, someone from philadelphia, this could can determine the control the house of representatives. that's what we're talking about it tonight, and that's what tomorrow as pennsylvania's go to the polls, that is maybe the race that everyone across the state, across the commonwealth is watching. >> got it. that makes a lot of sense. notice about the mayor's race, what's gonna happen in philly? >> the mayor's race is a totally different beast. so, philadelphia mayor's race. tomorrow is election day across pennsylvania, but philadelphia as a democratic primary, right? and why that matters is because philadelphia democrats have such a large registration advantage over republicans. whoever wins tomorrow and the democrats is almost assured to win in november at the general
8:20 pm
election and philadelphia. >> i was going to say, it's election a tomorrow philadelphia. >> exactly, exactly. there are actually cases of republicans who feel disenfranchised, and they even switch their voter registration to just have a say in who might be their next mayor and the city of philadelphia. so that is the state sit there, and alisyn it is anyone's race, it is a toss-up. i think we've a poll right now. there is a, you can see right there. the top for -- >> a ton of people running. >> and the top four really are within that margin of error, that 21, 18, 14. and then jeff brown, you see that candidate at ten. any of those people, truly, at this point can win. >> undecided, 15%. >> i know, i was looking at that. to >> a lot of choices. >> and that's why you're seeing a lot of people in these past 40, 8:24 hours. they are out, they are knocking on doors. it feels like election day in philadelphia tomorrow. >> i am curious to what that mayor's race, because we had so much focus, remember, on the chicago mayor's race, and what
8:21 pm
that meant. and to a lesser extent, but still some pretty good attention on the los angeles mayor's race, and what that meant. these big american cities, post covid, with the more liberal part of the democratic party, versus either a republican, or someone who is more of a conservative democrat, and you know, we kind of try to extrapolate, we the political media from time to time have been guilty of trying to extrapolate big sweeping conclusions from these races. but it does not feel like philly has gotten as much attention as, chicago's race. did >> i think there are a couple different reasons why. one of the main reasons for chicago, for example, you know you've covered it as well on the ground omar, this is an incumbent leaving. coming this term, he's not running anymore, mayor jim kenny. he had a lower profile in the last few years then perhaps lori lightfoot in chicago, right? also, that's not an incumbent at risk of losing their job, as well. however, i do think that whoever becomes mayor of this group, especially if he's one of those type of talk right, there i think you will hear their names a lot more after
8:22 pm
tomorrow, because there is a lot of different directions that he could go based on a lot of these candidates. there are some intense progressive change folks, there are some folks who are very intent on holding the past administration accountable for some of the actions in policing, some of the actions in crime. and in others who are actually known faces, they've been to city hall for a long time, they have been in harrisburg for a while. there are a lot of options. >> and one thing i think about, and we thought about in the chicago mayor's race, and beyond is. okay, so they say local politics as national, and vice versa, one is a national story. as we head towards 2024, we're gonna have big presidential side on republicans, and are there any messages that people could, in theory, extrapolate from this that could make a difference in 2024? for example, in chicago when you look at the more moderate democrat in called alice versus
8:23 pm
the more liberal brand in johnson, they looked at how they were going to handle public safety in the city in chicago, where public safety was a -- big sum said, they summit was decided here it sends a message to other democrats, and potentially other republicans that public safety may be a message just and public safety is not the way to go. are there any types of messages like that they could play a factor, and beyond just this mayor's race? >> there definitely are. in the most recent polling that seamless was from earlier, there are also a lot of issues that were most important philadelphians, and foreign away was crime. that is definitely on peoples minds, and there have been debates in philadelphia about potentially bringing back a kind of stop and frisk. that has been ping-pong around these candidates over the course of many forums. that is one idea that has been out there, i think that there is the real potential that whoever becomes mayor might want to change things up in the police department as well. in terms of that senior leadership, which is that we
8:24 pm
were all looking at. i actually want to say, the race that might even have more national implications to go back for a second, is that state house representative race. >> i have a question, how does that determine the policy of the state? you think that's what will have the impact on a national level? >> i think you can take -- a turn over the chicken or egg thing, i think that race is taking more leads from the national level. because that race has basically been all about abortion. and if republicans take over the state house, there is a concern by democrats that's why biden endorsed in that race, that's why josh appear caught about that race, primarily. that's what they said, if republicans take control of the state house, there is a concern from democrats that they might push a referendum, basically, to amend the constitution to limit abortion rights. so that's what all the ads are about, in terms of that particular race, and that is why that race has garnered so much attention. abortion issue, that is not something that is really playing in philadelphia mayor's race. and remember, everyone that is in this democratic primary, a
8:25 pm
lot of things they are on the same page, and it is finding the gradation there. i think we may know more about the national significance post this election tomorrow. >> well danny, thank you for explaining. the intrigue of everything that is going on in pennsylvania, we are watching closely tomorrow. all right meanwhile, giant social media companies hit with a wrongful death lawsuit but the families of three victims, as well as a survivor of last year's buffalo supermarket massacre. up next, omar explains what the suit is all about. this is our latest hearing aid

8:30 pm
were killed in a mass shooting in a buffalo grocery store the families of three of the victims, as well as a survivor, have filed a wrongful death suit against various social media companies, including youtube, and the parent of facebook. the suit alleges that this shooter was radicalized by racist, antisemitic, white supremacist propaganda that he found on social media. okay, omar tell us about this lawsuit. >> yeah, so you hit the highlights of it. the lawsuit alleges that social media companies helped radicalize the gunman who shot and killed ten people at the top supermarket in buffalo, just about this time last year. and partly, it goes even further to say that the lawsuit says that he was not raised by racist parents, that he had no known documented history of negative interactions with black people, and so they are basically pointing the
8:31 pm
microscope at social media. in particular, one part of this lawsuit says that he explicitly has acknowledged that the racist, antisemitic, and violence promoting material he encountered on social media calls his radicalization, not evaded him to commit racial violence, and promote of the training, equipment, and expertise to plan and implement the massacre on may 14th, 2022. part of all this, and really the crux of their argument, is that this content doesn't just exist on social media, it is part of an algorithm, in many cases. the lawsuit alleges that some of these things were promoted, and, or reacting to his engagement to show him more of that. and again, the crux of this lawsuit is that, were these social media companies talking at the doctor in the back of this person's minds until it became front of mind, and then translated to violence? >> and what did the social media companies say? >> they are saying they have taken steps in many regards to try and find these types of
8:32 pm
extremist posts, take them down, make sure they do not go any further. we've heard a variation of that from a lot of different companies, but specifically snapchat says there is zero tolerance policy for hate speech and discrimination of any kind. google, the owner of youtube, through the years youtubers invested in technology teams and policies to identify and remove extremist content. twitch, and metal which once facebook took steps pretty quickly to take this down because this shooting was livestreamed on which i mediately, as it was happening. but obviously the challenge that all of the social media companies have, no matter how well-intentioned they are, is speed with which these things spread on social media, the ease that they are uploaded, and the sheer amount of content that you are having to try and moderate at any given moment, because there are people constantly trying to upload things that fall into this category online. >> what about the gun seller? what about the gun manufacturer?
8:33 pm
what about 4chan, which is one of the really sort of dark, extremist places? what about other places beyond those that you just named? >> so targeting a lot of these others, the gun manufacturers, the gun suppliers, armor builders, all of these people. this is part of what i would say it's a relatively new movement from what is now a number, too many, victims of mass shootings, of mass killings. for example, i will say that based on what we've seen it is an uphill battle, but not a battle that is completely lost every time. after the sandy hook shooting, i mean it took years, but some of the families of those that were killed sued ramming ten gun manufacturers. the manufacturer there, and they won, a settlement over $70 million. >> they said it could not happen, and it happened. they folded out. >> exactly. so people see that, and they go maybe we can do that, in our mass shooting, in our shooting that affected our community. also on top of that, you talked about the uphill battle of
8:34 pm
potentially going after some of the parents, for example, where some look at a situation like this and say, what were the parents doing? because this person is a young person. in this case, it may not be the one that actually goes forward, because by all accounts at this point, it does not seem they were especially negligent here. we let the facts come out. but you contrast that to the shooting that happened at oxford, michigan, at the high school there where the parents of that shooter were indicted, because they were accused of being negligent about how they handled their weapon, so much so, the suit alleges that it contributed to the shooting on folding. >> so vanessa, you have reported on this algorithm. algorithms feed you stuff, this is not just, you know, the perpetrator going on a wild goose chase. >> the algorithms are incredibly sticky. tiktok is actually not mentioned in the suit, i believe, but tiktok has one of the stickiest algorithms. so if you're looking, i'm just
8:35 pm
giving an example, if you're looking for, i don't know, a healthy salad recipe. you know, you are on tiktok for days, four weeks, four months, you could end up in a pro anorexia situation where you are looking at that type of content. and to your point, it is these social medias companies trying, but it is nearly impossible to get all of the bad content off of the social media apps. they are not regulated in a way that would help someone who may already be struggling, and if you have someone who is potentially predisposed to being interested in certain things, you could essentially fall down the social media rabbit hole. it can be incredibly dangerous. exactly what happened, according to this lawsuit in the situation. >> that stickiness can happen so quickly, to. >> it's addiction. >> it is addiction. you can search something once. even by accident, you can misspell something, then your feet very quickly can give you the next thing, the next thing
8:36 pm
in the same category. >> and we have seen examples of how quickly this proliferates across continents, across -- i mean across different ends of the world as quickly as possible. i mean, there is a through line that you can actually trace explicitly, because all of -- these guns that were mentioned from 2011 row shooting in norway where over 70 people were killed. it is an infamous shooting that happened there, but then years later, the new zealand shooter in christchurch killed dozens of people there, cited that shooting in particular as part of his inspiration. then the shooting here in buffalo cited both the new zealand and the norway shootings as inspiration, and he even took something specific from new zealand, and actually livestreamed this. and so, you do unfortunately, the power of the internet allows these, what typically would be a lone wolves, lone gunman to find their packs in places across the globe and truly just because these
8:37 pm
stories, and these manifestos whatever they might be, are spread to them and share to them, and even potentially promoted to them on social media platforms. >> it will be fascinating to watch this case, as it proceeds. omar, thank you very much. so there is still no deal between president biden and congressional republicans to raise the debt ceiling. are they getting closer to a deal or default? vanessa's want to tell us, next. she knows everything. she knows, oh, she knows. i'm sholeh, and i lost 75 pounds with golo. i went from a size 20 to a size 6. before golo, nothing seemed to work. i was exercising it was really discouraging. but golo's so easy, the weht just falls off.

one day before the president leaves for the asia pacific region. and of course the clock is still ticking on default. president biden is optimistic, speaker mccarthy skeptical. the head of this meeting. >> i remain optimistic because i'm a general optimist. but i really think there is a desire on their part is ours that we should do it. i think we'll be able to do it. >> we have not made any -- we have no agreements on anything, that's why we're still so far out. here we are sitting on a monday, we have to have this all done by the end of the week. you know how these things go, they blow up, they blow up they come down. >> oh my gosh, vanessa, just tell us what is going to happen. as president biden going to postpone his trip? >> it is up in the air i think right now. i think they are proceeding as normal, but they are obviously talking about this, because defaulting on our debt is so disastrous. >> what would be the stakes for all of us? >> okay so started a top. let's talk about a potential
8:43 pm
recession, potentially the markets tanking, that impacts our 401k's, potentially unemployment spiking. definitely there will be a pause on social security checks, pause on medicare payments, veterans benefits will be cut. we don't know if we will be able to pay our military. borrowing costs will go up, so student loans, mortgage rates, credit cards, zillow put out there that if mortgage rates top 8% housing costs are going to rise overall by 22%. i mean, these are things that people are going to feel every single day. the list probably goes on. but here is a real catch, because we have never defaulted, ever, we don't actually know the economic impacts will really be. and that's the scariest part about this, we can kind of anticipate what may happen, what will happen, but we really do not know, and that can be pretty terrifying for a lot of americans. >> yes, treasury secretary
8:44 pm
yellin is trying to sound the alarm, and what more can she say? she keeps sending letters to congressional leaders. >> this is their second letter and two weeks, and you can say it's a nudge you could say it's a warning, you could say she's actually getting really nervous. she is essentially saying reminder guys, june 1st, this is the day that, allegedly, we are not going to able to pay our bills. this is what she said in her letter most recently, she said if congress fails to increase the debt limit it would cause severe hardship to american families, harm our global leadership position, and raise questions about our ability to offend our national security interests. i mean, those are critical to the united states standing and the global economy. i mean national security? this is because we don't know if we can pay our military. and that is going to be, that is going to be catastrophic if this happens. and up until now, she has been able to use what's called extraordinary measures,
8:45 pm
essentially just moving money around to try to stopgap bills right now. but come june 1st, if there is no deal? she's wrestler multiple times now, this is their second letter in two weeks. there is nothing she can do, right? it's up to the president, it is up to congress to figure this out. >> how about that split screen where you see president biden being optimistic -- as you said, he is a natural born optimist, he says that a lot. and then you see speaker mccarthy, and i don't know if he is just saying that to get people's attention? because it feels that strongly, and it sounds like he does if you take it at face value, why are they at an impasse? >> that is 1 million dollar question, right? a couple things i think people need to keep in mind. number one, there are times we talk about, up on the hill congress is at a loggerhead. this is a real situation. we are really at a point now that is very serious, and very different. the closest thing you can compare it to his 2011, and remember, we ended up raising
8:46 pm
the debt ceiling before the deadline, but just because we got close to it, moody has downgraded americas credit rating. and that's just cause we got close to it, we did not even go off the cliff. i think it's important for everyone to remember, this is not just our political standoff on capitol hill. secondly, we know that at the staff level they have been meeting, and the big four, so all the congressional leadership and president biden was supposed to meet last week, that is there to kick that candlelit staff keep going. we do know that look, the white house and president biden and even senate democrats are very -- we will not negotiate, we cannot negotiate. the fact of the matter is, they are now negotiating, and they have to because they have got to get this done. there are a few areas where they are kind of circling around that they think perhaps they can get some -- >> i have a list of what we think is on the table, you can correct me if i'm wrong. rescinding about 60 billion in unspent covid relief funds. >> okay. >> who's gonna argue with that. >> take those back.
8:47 pm
good. i'm gonna solve this tonight, guys. i'm gonna solve this before the show is over. possible spending cuts, well that sounds like the -- [laughter] budget caps for the next several years. >> broad. >> also broad. adding work requirements to social programs. revisiting permitting process. these are the things taking place. >> permitting reform is something where they can make progress with as well. kevin mccarthy said, remember, it takes a minute to get the stuff through the house to get the stuff to the senate is a logistical issue. he said that they need a deal and hand by this week to make it to the june 1st deadline. it is monday night, they are meeting tomorrow. that's just not that much time. not to say it cannot get done, but it is asking a lot, and they are still pretty far apart. one more thing i think that's worth remembering, is that kevin mccarthy has a very small margin in the house, for votes. and anything that is going to be a compromise on what they have already passed out of their, which is not anywhere close to what they are
8:48 pm
ultimately going to get, they are going to have to probably have help from democrats, here. and that's going to be a whole dance as well. >> all right thank you both very much for explaining that, we will see where we are tomorrow. up next, on the lookout or reporters tell us what stories they're looking out for on the horizon. with gold bond... you can age on your own terms. retinol overnight means... the smoothing benefits of retinol. e now for your whole body. plus, fast-working crepe corrector diminishes wrinkled skin in just two days. gold bond. champion your skin.
