raising just a few hundred thousand dollars to crowley's millions. >> this race is about people versus money. we've got people, they've got money. >> born in the bronx to puerto rican parents, she connected with the kbroeing latino community in the district. >> this victory belongs to every working parent. every mom, every member of the lgbtq community. river single person is responsible for this. >> her victory, a warning to entrenched democrats, not to take anything for granted. this is an absolutely seismic loss for democrats, who are going to have to rethink their next generation of leadership. eric cantor lost his election in 2014. if crowley's challenger wins in november, she'll be the youngest woman ever elected to the house. >> let's bring in nbc news political analyst steve schmidt. good morning.

that was a huge upset last night there was something about this young woman's political ad that did capture a lot of people's attention. just watch a little bit of it and explain why you think she won. >> this race is about people versus money. we've got people. they've got money. it's time we acknowledge in a not all democrats are the same that a democrat who takes corporate money, profits off foreclosure, doesn't live here, doesn't send his kids to our schools, doesn't drink our water or breathe our air cannot possibly represent us. >> powerful ad what did you see there? >> sure is. politics used to be defined by this vertical line that ran down the middle of the field. we debate between the 45 yard lines, just like the message that elected donald trump, and the message that bernie sanders ran on, what she's saying is there's a group of people above the line. one set of rules for them and a

different set of rules for everybody else. that message runs and is effective from the left of the democratic party all the way across to the trump voter. >> this is what's interesting about why you would have sanders/trump voters during the last election. >> absolutely. >> if all the energy in the democrat party is on the far left and certainly the energy in the republican party is with trump and the far right, how does that play out? if were you going to do a general election, is that good for trump? >> well i think it's bad for the country. it could be good for trump. because trump got elected, if you looked at the polling, essentially what the american people were telling us, we didn't listen very well. was that there were two unelectable candidates. when two unelectable candidates run against each other. one of them is going to win. and by 78,000 votes, in three states, that's what happened to donald trump. i think politically, donald trump has advantaged the degree to which american politics is radicalized. if the center collapses, i think that benefits donald trump.

>> his numbers by the way are going up. as you know, you are a former republican, you recently kind of stepped away from the party. if you were to answer the question could, will donald trump be elected again, if you were asked that question right now what would your answer be? >> maybe. look at the end of the day, politics at the beginning of my political career was a business of persuasion, it is become a business of incitement. you have on both sides inciters, people trying to increase intensity by raising fefrer. by making the other side the absolute enemy. all virtue is found in our party. all evil in the other. all good ideas here. all bad ideas there. as we have a politics of incitement, what it does is it turns off people in the middle. so we're at an interesting moment in american politics. but that governing center, that created so much prosperity, so much good in the country, is getting smaller, it's collapsing. >> steve schmidt.

always interesting to get your perspective. thank you so much for being here. we appreciate it. also this morning, investigators are working to determine the cause of a powerful and deadly explosion at a hospital in central texas. the blast leading to evacuations and widespread power outages there. nbc's kristen dahlgren is at the scene this morning. kristen, good morning. >> good morning, savannah. witnesses say the explosion here was so strong it rocked this small town. none of the hospital workers or patients were injured, but one construction worker did lose his life. others remain in critical condition this morning. >> we only know something blew up. >> smoke billowing into the sky after an explosion rocked the central texas hospital. killing a construction worker tuesday and injuring a dozen more. several of them with severe burns. >> we have a report of some kind of an explosion behind coryell memorial hospital. >> it happened at a construction site at coryell memorial hospital in gatesville. the building partially flattened.

cookies. >> $1. >> getting money from our stage manager. where are you from? >> georgia. >> more money. >> 10 bucks for girl scout cookies, pretty good deal. we all know, nobody does a romantic comedy like hugh grant. but the dashing and talented brit is taking a different role for his series, "a very english scandal." he plays jeremy thorpe, a member of the english parliament, who is living a double-life and has a few secrets. >> my wife insists that guy means happy. >> absolutely right. and i intend to be very happy. very many times in my life. very much so with him. >> careful now. i'm not sure any boy's worth ending up in prison for. >> we are nothing but a pair of old queens. to her majesty. >> her majesty.

>> hugh grant, good morning. >> good morning. >> good to have you here. do you like watching clips of yourself? >> if i was able to see it, i would have enjoyed it. it was marvelous. you forgot to say it is a true story. >> i have it written right here. >> i beg your pardon. >> look what i wrote. this really happened. this really happened. you have to tell people what the story is. in england, people know. we here in the u.s., aren't aware of this, necessarily. >> it was a very big deal in the '70s in england. the leader of one of our three great political parties, who was a staunch member of the establishment, he went to eaton, our poshest school, and very much a member of the establishment, took out a hit, a very amateurish, english hit, on his ex-gay, who was going to expose him as being gay and destroy his marriage.

>> it's a fascinating role for you to play. we're used to you playing the charming cad, or the romantic lead. jeremy thorpe is a villain. he's trying to kill his former lover. but he's a charming villain, wouldn't you say? >> he was a smooth and charming man, for sure. but beneath that, yes, he was completely ruthless, narcissistic, in a way i think a lot of politicians are. seen them in close quarters, doing political work in england. and people say politics is show business for the ugly. and i think that's sort of true. the egos at work are quite terrifying. and he's also a tragic figure because in those days, especially in the early part of his life, in the '60s, it was a criminal offense to be gay. not only that, but it was just -- if a man in his position was exposed as being gay, they killed themselves. >> there's some sympathy there because of the plight of those who were gay. i think it was outlawed until

the '60s. but on the other hand, he did try to kill his former lover. >> yes. that's definitely naughty. >> yes. >> he failed. it was bungled. it was, you know, one englishman saying, could we bump this chap off? and he phones someone who phones someone who phones someone, way down the line. they got the most useless hitman. >> you wouldn't expect it. but this is also funny. it's darkly funny. >> a lot of black comedy. that was the appeal to me. >> it's getting great reviews. the bbc put it together. >> with some money with lovely amazon. >> yes, exactly. >> it comes out on amazon prime on friday. yeah. i have never had such good reviews. i'm thrilled. >> you know what? the reviews were so thrilled, i read one that said, it's a three-hour miniseries and they wish it was six hours. nobody ever says that. >> i agree, that's lovely. they wouldn't like it if we made another three hours. >> let me talk about your news.
