7:25 pm
results we rarely saw five years ago. (avo) in a clinical trial, significantly more patients lived longer and saw their tumors shrink than on chemotherapy alone. (dr. kloecker) it's changed my approach to treating patients. (avo) keytruda may be used with certain chemotherapies as your first treatment if you have advanced nonsquamous, non-small cell lung cancer and you do not have an abnormal "egfr" or "alk" gene. keytruda helps your immune system fight cancer, but can also cause your immune system to attack healthy parts of your body. this can happen during or after treatment and may be severe and lead to death. see your doctor right away if you have new or worse cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, diarrhea, severe stomach pain or tenderness, nausea or vomiting, rapid heartbeat, increased hunger or thirst, constipation, dizziness or fainting, changes in urine or eyesight, muscle pain or weakness, joint pain, confusion or memory problems, fever, rash, itching, or flushing. these are not all the possible side effects. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including immune system problems, if you've had an organ transplant, had or plan to have a stem cell transplant,
7:26 pm
or have lung, breathing, or liver problems. (katy vo) where i am now compared to a year ago, it's a story worth sharing. (avo) living longer is possible. it's tru. keytruda, from merck. with more fda-approved uses for advanced lung cancer than any other immunotherapy. uh uh - i deliverberty the news around here. ♪ sources say liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. over to you, logo. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ i had no idea why my mouth was constantly dry. it gave me bad breath. it was so embarrassing. now i take new biotene dry mouth lozenges whenever i'm on the go, which is all the time. new biotene dry mouth lozenges. freshen breath anytime, anywhere.

lou: radical dimms today revealing themselves with a political charade, that was designed to take all attention away from president's mission half way around the world. here we go. >> this is not a partisan pursuit, i think we're demonstrating, is patriotism. >> president donald j trump, brand comes first not the american people. >> are you aware of any videotapes that may be subject of blackmail. >> is there a love child. >> some of my colleagues conditiocan'thandle the truth. lou: amazing and sickening. congress member caroll miller, she blasted cohen today, great to have you with us. i should imagine that after
7:29 pm
having to sit through that, you wanted to take a shower. that is one of the worst events have seen put on by either political party. your thoughts? >> it was a very long 6 hours. >> a long 6 hours? i would think it was a long 6 hours. but the testimony from the convict liar, a liar convicted of lying to congress among other lies, how in the world did the republican party, end up permitting this to coincide with such an importance initiative on part of president in denuclearization of the korean peninsula, and second summit with kim? >> that is right. but you know we're not in control at this point. >> i do, i am just wondering why y'all could not come up with a way to stop the democracy, because democrats with y'all
7:30 pm
were in power did a lot to forestall republican riches. >issue. >> it was i waste of our time, a said in committee, voter in west virginia did not send me to congress to waste time or money. lou: no doubt, so what are you going to do? is this a two years of long meetings for republican party or are you all going to learn how on fight about. >> it could be a lot of long meetings but we'll get along. lou: i am wondering how the american people will get along, the first witness, of the 116 congress is a man convicted of lying to congress and you put -- he is put forward as the witness for first substantive hearing -- if you can call this substantive meeting of the new congress. >> i think you are right.
7:31 pm
it was to take the attention away from what our president is trying to do. lou: and republican party going to start supporting this man? he is already historic president. in 2 years. it is truly remarkable to see the republican party incapable of fighting, incapable of it seep seems political strategy, witness today hearing and timing and lack of can be view obvious. where do we see the republican party? is there a sense that the republican party will remain split, rinos and people who support president trump? >> i think you saw a good example today. this whole hearing was a glop. ,

7:33 pm
it was all about old news and fake news. lou: i agree with you on that. i think that american people, if they watched it, saw -- if peoplen to know who the dems are, i don't know what to say about our collective national intelligence because they been on display for some time. but the very difficult part for me is that to watch the republican leaders, in congress, not successfully t to have faild to forestall this hearing to begin with. it does not auger well for congress and where you will be going over the course of next two years, i thank you for having the guts to stand up for the president and to attack directly the testimony of a convinced liar. -- convicted liar, as you suggest it should not have
