isn't it accusing you ever seen. i'm a rolling. >> we are thinking us. we have, that we have it. you wait till the end of the interview to cry >> and take a little -- >> business so cool. wow. >> she worked so hard to get to that moment. a delightful moment for andrea we had to share with you. comply was up now, if you miss your full conversation you can catch it later tonight and msnbc.com. that is all the time that i have for today. i'm alicia menendez. i will see back here next weekend at 6 am eastern. you know the deal for more american voices. but for now, i handed over to my colleague lionel of a very important conversation at the top of the show. >> we have a lot of important conversations, it's interesting to see you have a conversation jimmy fallon. i'm assisting found interview everyone else. it's interesting to see you. that must been fun. >> it was, mary thank you so much. >> thanks another great night.

tonight, on the many ass and so, straight up antisemitism from the former president. donald trump is now threatening american jews. we look at the damage being done by the normalization of his outrageous hate speech. plus, mid term messaging with 23 days to go. where the democrats focus be? the january six committee this week released never before seen footage of nancy pelosi taking charge on won six of republican leaders. i will speak to democratic congresswoman elaine omar who is in the room. good evening, i'm mehdi hassan, the former president of the united states today threatened americas jews. what a statement i thought i'd ever be saying, yet here we are. we are 23 days before election day in the 2022 midterms.

donald j trump released a statement on his social media platform that reads, in part, quote, u.s. jews have to get their act together and appreciate what they have in israel before it's too late. before what is too late? too late how? well, the tendency might be to dismiss his words as, oh, that's donald trump being donald trump. that exact instinct is what i want to start with tonight. what i want to challenge tonight. what he is saying is not normal. it is not okay. we should not shrug at this. we should not become numb to this. it is precisely because we have become numb to donald trump and his allies that they keep escalating their rhetoric, including anti-semitic rhetoric and the rest of us keep normalizing it. when we should have been demanding consequences for that kind of hate speech long ago. to be clear, trump didn't become an antisemite overnight.

i mean, remember the time in 2018 when the then president told jewish americans gathered at the white house to celebrate hanukkah that israel was their country. the united states was this country. take a listen. >> i want to thank vice president mike pence for tremendous support. tremendous supporter of it. they go there and they love your country, they love your country, and they love this country. it's a good combination, right? >> on the remote chance that donald trump is watching tonight, jewish americans are americans. they are u.s. citizens. israelis are from israel. do i need to demonstrate by drawing it in a sharpie on a map? there is the next year 2019 when trump insulted jewish americans as ignorant and disloyal. yeah, his words, have a listen. >> i think any jewish people

that voted for a democrat -- i think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or greatest loyalty. >> no, no, not all right. how about last year and trump said that israel owns the united states congress? literally one of the oldest antisemitic tropes out there. really, he said those words, have a listen. >> the biggest change i've seen and congress is israel literally owns congress. you understand that, ten years ago, 15 years ago. it was so powerful, it was so powerful. today it is almost the opposite. you have between aoc and omar and these people that hate israel, they hate it with a passion. they are controlling congress. israel is not a force in congress anymore. it is amazing. i have never seen such a change. we are not talking about over a very long period of time. i think you know exactly what i

am saying. they had such power, israel had such power. rightfully over congress. now it doesn't. it is incredible. >> what is actually incredible is that he has been able to get away with anti jewish rhetoric hate speech conspiracism for so long. the former president, the de facto current leader of the gop era. don't even get me started on that tiny praised white nationalists at charlottesville shouting jews will not replace us as very fine people. the time trump was quoted as saying according to one's casino bosses that only one -- counting his money. here is what is so important. trump's antisemitism is so dangerous right now. don't forget, it was four years ago this month in the run up to the last midterm elections that republicans were pushing the unfounded conspiracy theory that jewish billionaire

philanthropist george sorrows was funding a caravan of central american migrants headed for the u.s. border. on october 27th of that year, 11 jewish worshippers including a 97 year old woman were gunned down at the tree of life synagogue in pittsburgh by an alleged shooter who is reported to have echoed those spaces -- even after that horrific mass murder of jews, trump continue to fuel that unfounded conspiracy. when asked if holocaust a fiber george throws could be finding the caravan, trump said, i quote, i wouldn't be surprised. yeah, i would be surprised, he said. yeah, none of this is new. that is part of the problem. we have been tolerating a trump in the white house. a trump on the campaign trail. a trump on the golf course whipping up hatred and stoking antisemitism for seven long years now. it just gets worse. it gets worse and worse. as a muslim, i become used to islamophobia on the right, sadly, i have become used to

the mainstreaming of anti-muslim hate. antisemitism, thankfully had always seemed off limits. like a third real. it seemed untouchable at least publicly. as jonathan change wrote in the new york magazine, for three quarters of a century, antisemites were locked out of major american politics are at least had to keep their bigotry quiet. now the door is open. so wide open in fact that trump has been joined by a head army of many trump all pushing the same anti jewish nonsense. only four years after the tree of life shooting, the republican nominee for governor in pennsylvania doug mastery ono has used the midterm election campaign his, own governor terrell campaign to repeatedly attack his opponent joshua pirro for sending his kids to italy jewish day school. last week, marjorie taylor greene and her jewish -- field yet another conspiracy that soros and the late pedophile financier jeffrey epstein was somehow financially linked. why and how? something to do with banks, of course.

meanwhile, the fellow gop member of congress paul gosar has openly attending and speaking at white nationalist conferences including one organized by accused hall of kosovo river. -- who went from threatening jews on twitter last week to once again this weekend making even more hateful conspiratorial antisemitic remarks in his media appearances. so, now is not the time to stay silent or to give the gop a pass on this issue. president joe biden recently called out trump's maga philosophy as a kind of semi fascism. for me, using that semi-as a little too generous. look, people can argue over the exact definition of fascism. the one thing that fascist movements across the west have had in common is this, they go after jewish minorities in their midst. that is the most common factor. understand what is going on here. these are not isolated or unconnected acts of antisemitic

hate. when you see donald trump or marjorie taylor greene or paul gosar or doug mastriano all dabbling in ancient anti jewish conspiracies and tropes, it's all part of the same thing. the raising and dangerous fascism on the american right. joining me now is msnbc political analyst tim melee. he's a never trumper publican, author of the book why we did it, a travel on the republican road to hell. and our raven hough, a longtime aide to bernie sanders and deputy campaign manager of the senator's 2020 presidential run. his account of that campaign is called the fighting soul on the road with bernie sanders. thari, let me start with you, as a jewish american what is your reaction waking up on a sunday morning and seeing the former president of the united states warning that you and your community better watch out? >> well, what's amazing, you pointed this out, how casual this antisemitism has become. how the dual loyalty trope which is embedded in his, i

don't even know what to call, it it's not a tweet, whatever his social network is called. the dual loyalty narrative has been long and anti semitic trope. he throws it out there casually and throws out of that threat, if you don't do this thing that has been long classified as anti-semitic, there will be consequences. the truth is, a jewish americans have a wide variety of opinions on israel. jewish americans tend to lean liberal, if not left. jewish americans tend to vote for democrats. trump sees jewish americans as the enemy through his statements. the fact is, we have become casually, become numb. you are right, mehdi, that numbness has led to acts of violence in our midst. we have to stop being numb. >> yes, the violence is what is so worrying. this is not consequence free hate speech. tim, you are a part of the republican party before it became the trump party. there is always been an antisemitic stream on the far-right and gop. it is out in the open. here we are at 8 pm on a sunday

night, where is the condemnation of trump's outrageous remarks from the non maga republicans, from mitch mcconnell, for mitt romney, where is your former boss jeb bush on all this? >> this is a good point. to be honest -- across the ideological spectrum. obviously there's some on the right. they are marginalized. they absolutely have been marginalized and aggressively so. the change that is so important, what donald trump is doing now is consistent. you are right to point this out. he isn't on she bunkie races. he is a narcissist. if someone doesn't like him and say they support him, he's going to say mean things about them. the fact that he can do this consequence free without any pushback, without any pushback from republican leaders, from republican media types, in fact, exactly the opposite. you mentioned ye's interview. it was on tucker carlson's show, the most watched show and all of the country on cable news,

on the right. tucker knew -- he only included the light antisemitism and cut out the more direct antisemitism. it shows that they recognize it. not only are they pushing back on, and they are complicit in it and advancing it. it is happening at all levels of the party. you are right, we could list all the people who haven't condemned. it i do think more republicans, more of the quote unquote team normal republicans should be condemning this. they have all learned the wrong lesson over the last seven years. it is that they feel like if they do, they are going to be cast out. that is why going down to florida -- they are going to lead to more real world consequences like the tree of life incident. >> tim miller, are you even half, to stay with us, we're just getting started tonight. what the democrats should be focused on during the midterm

far preferable to white wing republicans. >> that was senator bernie sanders on nbc's meet the press this morning. senator sanders believes there are still republican voters that democrats can win over other than the, quote, extreme right wing voters who are racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, he said. we just talked earlier on the show but the extremist threat posed by the gop, they're antisemitic rhetoric, the growing fascism. what have the democrats been doing to keep the far-right gop candidates from gaining power in november? is it working? my panel rejoin me now, former gop spanner tim miller, and longtime bernie advisor ari rabin-havt. thank you for staying with me. our, you worked with bernie sanders as a deputy campaign manager in 2020. do you agree with your former boss that there are working class anti establishment republican voters out there that democrats can still win over? if so, do you believe dams need

to go more left more, populace, more progressive to win them over? >> i think what we need to do, i think bernie has pointed this out. talk about the economic accomplishments. talk about the things that have been done. just this weekend, millions of americans, hundreds of thousands of young people signed up on the treasury department, sorry, the department of education website to get their student loans forgiven. republicans are fighting against that. look, i know there is disagreement about the policy even within the party. here is the main point. republicans will be in a position of now taking something away from those kids. they have said they want to get rid of that student loan payback. sorry, the student loan forgiveness. there is -- that is something you can campaign on. republican candidates have said, as brittani pointed out, they want to cut social security. they want to cut medicare.

those you to be third real issues. ron johnson other people like that are talking about it. i think there are voters including some republicans who are out there who don't want their social security cut, who don't want their medicare cut. by the, way that has been a long time finish of a lot of republicans dating back to when i worked in the senate for harry reid and 05. when george w. bush wanted to cut social security. even with the republican senate, harry reid won. there are cory economic issues that democrats can one on and win. >> tim, despite you being a lifelong republican, you want the democrats to win in november and to keep extremists gop candidates out of power. are you one of those never trump republicans who is worried that the democrats are campaigning on too progressive of a platform to win over swing voters right now? >> i don't think so. i think it's an issue in a state by state basis, mattie. i think john fetterman is extremely progressive. he is running an aggressive campaign that makes sense for

pennsylvania. it makes sense for him. from a vibrant, a cultural standpoint, he appeals to white working class trump voters and certain parts of pennsylvania. i think that is smart. raphael warnock in georgia, i think is running more to appeal to my type of voter. suburban former republicans that voted for mitt romney and crossed over to vote for joe biden last time. he's running a campaign that speaks to them that maybe is moderate on issues in temperament and messaging. mark kelly is doing the same in arizona. i will cross over, tim ryan is an ohio. what worries me, when democrats won as a super liberal without trying to appeal to either of those groups. i'm worried about the and hazara governors race, the georgia governor's race, stacey abrams, both of them feel listless. i think if you think about the two types of people, the group jeopardy was talking about, the white working class voters who might want you to take on

pharmaceutical companies, the suburban typical former republican voter. you have to try to appeal to one of those two groups. you have to have a strategy. there are certain democratic's that feel concerningly listless. >> what is your response to that? >> tim is right, democrats need a strong message and can't be listless. frankly, you have racist right now. i think back to 2010, republicans should have taken the senate. they ran terrible -- including one proclaim she wasn't a wedge. therefore, democrats were able to hold the senate back in 2010. you have a similar situation now where you have maniacs running like doctor oz and herschel walker in georgia. yes, democrats have to run strong campaigns against them. you are seeing that with someone like john fetterman running on a very strong and aggressive message. you are seeing that with raphael warnock. i agree, running on strong messages. that is the thing, when democrats can campaign strongly on these issues, there are so

many issues to campaign on. we just can't forget about those core economic issues. remember, americans hate pharmaceutical companies, right-wing americans hype them, left wing americans hate them. they are all getting billed. that is a core issue democrats can run on. it is not progressive. it is everybody. >> tim, one last question, i want to play you a click of arizona's far-right candidate keri lake on cnn this morning. have a listen. >> will you accept the results of your election in november? >> i'm going to win the election, i will accept that result. >> if you lose, we accept it. >> i'm going to win the election and i will accept that result. >> tim, i feel like there are still a lot of people in our liberal media and in the democratic party who still don't quite realize what kind of car crash is headed our way and both november of 2022 in november 2024. people like lake on the right are not hiding their anti-democratic fascist credentials, are there? >> they are not.

this is an example of a race, i'm concerned about how the democrats are running. terry late is an insane person. not only is she not going to respect the results of the democratic election, she has an extreme position on abortion, with no exceptions. only like 5% of the country holds it. she wants cameras in the classroom monitoring for, quote unquote, groomer teachers. she wants to drone the border with arizona board muddy. this is an extremist. the democrats are a little listless in this campaign. you can run against her. i don't care if you run as a moderate democrat or as a progressive democrat, run as aggressive democrat who takes the grunt of this dangerous candidate. that is the big lesson. >> you are right, democrats need to run aggressively against extremists. some of my colleagues in the media need to be able to call these people extremists. tim miller, our raven huffed, thank you for your analysis. coming up, i will speak with

was spurred on first and foremost by the big lie. the ludicrous albeit a dangerous notion that the 2020 election was somehow stolen from donald j trump. however, in the weeks and months after the capitol attack, many other medium sized lies came to join the big lie in the gop conspiracy pantheon. one such medium size lie, the off repeated fast that nancy pelosi, yes, house speaker data nancy pelosi was the one responsible for not stopping the violence on 16. it sounds absurd, because it is absurd. that didn't stop even members of the house republican leadership from peddling that fairytale. >> was speaker pelosi involved

in the decision to delay national guard assistance on january 6th? those are serious and real questions that this committee refuses to even ask. jim banks raise some serious questions that should be answered by the january six commission. they are not. >> that second man you saw there is gop house minority steve scalise. it's rather rich that he and particular would echo the super villain pelosi narrative given new video released by the 16 committee this past week. well, look there. who is that strapping young gentlemen on the left-hand side of your screen? who is that spry fellow cuddling up with chuck schumer and jim clyburn and nancy pelosi as they work the phones to try to arrest control of the capitol back from an armed mob. now, it looks an awful lot like

steve scalise. don't let your lying eyes to seaview. if that were the case, that would make scalise guilty of, i don't know, gaslighting, lying, being a total fraud. let's get a second opinion. someone else who is in the room with nancy pelosi, the rest of the democratic and republican leadership teams on that january six. minnesota democrat and squat member ilhan omar. you can see there. joins me now. congresswoman, thank you so much for coming back on the show. before we get to steve scalise, explain to our viewers why you are there in that secure room with the democratic republican congressional leadership on 16. >> well, it's great to be with you first of all. when the january six insurrection was taking place, capitol police decided that my life was in danger. decided to relocate me into the

same location as leadership to make sure that i wouldn't be harmed because of the death threats i was dealing with. >> well, that is always worth pointing out to viewers who might not be aware of the threats you get. so, congresswoman, we know that republicans have downplayed what happened on january the 6th since the very beginning. also blame the democrats and nancy pelosi for their supposed inaction. yet, as you saw on the day itself and as the rest of us saw on thursday during the 16 public hearings, steve scalise and kevin mccarthy were right there. literally inches away from nancy pelosi as she is demanding on the phone that the pentagon and the federal government sent troops to secure the capital. they're standing right there. >> they were standing right there, when events unfolded and we were taken to that secure and disclose place, i was one of the first to arrive and then

speaker pelosi arrived. clyburn and then chuck schumer. scalise and mccarthy actually came to gather. they could clearly hear the speaker and schumer trying desperately with hoyer to reach governors in surrounding states. trying to speak to the mayor of washington, d.c.. trying to get anybody and everybody to deploy national guard to safeguard the capital, to save our colleagues, to stop our country from being decimated by these insurrectionists and destroying any stability our democracy could have. i vividly remember standing in front of the tv as the first images were being displayed as

the insurrectionists broke into the capitol with scalise by my side. him uttering these words. how shocking these people are animals. for him to then turn around and so fraudulently and so cowardly say, we have unanswered questions about the involvement of speaker pelosi. when he was in the room, has she desperately tried to save our democracy. urge any leader within the white house that she could reach to try to do something. to get the president to get these people to back off. to deploy the national guard. as you know, the mayor of d.c. does not have that authority. these people then went into a room until mitch mcconnell showed up. they started huddling with us. you could see them not do anything. the only republicans that were

willing in leadership to actively engage, mitch mcconnell and thune. it is so disappointing to know that republican house leadership in that room were not only has attends but unwilling and i'm interested in doing anything to help speaker pelosi as she try to save our country. >> very generous and using the word disappointing. some might say the behavior is absolutely shameless and cowardly. congresswoman, is it true as some reports suggest, what schumer and pelosi were on the phone with the pentagon and the governor of virginia and the mayor of d.c., you and your team are sitting in the corner of the room and drafting up articles of impeachment? >> yeah, i was fortunate to have my director with me. we obviously could not be in conversation. we were texting back and forth another. with the judiciary team as well

in drafting the articles of impeachment. after two hours in, it became clear as we listened to the pleas that speaker pelosi, chuck schumer, hoyer were making, the president was not interested in stopping this insurrection. he was excited to see it go on. it became blatantly clear with the hesitation that we were getting from those that were under his leadership, you have to remember one of the things that many people might not remember is that a lot of the secretaries and directors were not actually sworn in. they were acting directors, acting secretaries. there was a lot of disturbance in that regard. i think the functionality of the trump administration is something that we often forget. >> last question for you congresswoman, you have been demonized in recent years as an

antisemite. by many especially by donald trump and the gop over your criticism of israel and jewish groups supportive of israel. some of which you have regretted and apologize for. you said you should've been more careful in some of your language in the past. yet, this morning former president trump treated, i quote, jews need to get their act together and appreciate what they have before it's too late. this is coming from the guy that said you should resign from congress for your comments. what do you make of trump's post this morning? what do you think the right would be saying if you are rashida -- threatening american jews in this way, which i know you would not have done. >> yeah, the hypocrisy of the republicans is plainly clear. they are not rushing out to condemn the president, the former president who knowingly repeatedly evokes dual loyalty, tropes that are harmful. dangerous as you know.

antisemitism is on the rise. all of us have a responsibility to condemn it and to continue to have someone as the former president with his platform continuously speaking to his white supremacy -- in such a language. it is very scary and dangerous. we have to condemn it in the strongest ways possible. >> indeed, we will have to leave it there, congresswoman ellen omar, thank you for your time. >> coming up, fearmongering republicans in pennsylvania state legislature want to ignore the will of the voters and impeach philadelphia's progressive district attorney later krasner. i will speak to him about crime and the debate over crime. ver crime. sing aloe, or baby wipes, or powders, try the cooling, soothing relief or preparation h. because your derriere deserves expert care. preparation h. get comfortable with it.

zeroed in on the issue of crime in battleground states like wisconsin and pennsylvania, the trajectory of those races shifted in the gop's favor. this playbook isn't new. a number of experts told nbc news the strategy seems particularly effective this year. the attacks have divided some of the democratic party to. put a lot of candidates on the defensive. not all democrats have shied away from fighting back on the issue. in 2017, philadelphia district attorney lanny krasner became one of the first people to run as a self described progressive prosecutor. krasner described himself as a reformer, pledging to end cash bail, reduce mass incarceration and and the criminalization of poverty. the people of philadelphia clearly liked what they saw from krasner in his first term. last year, despite raising crime rates he won reelection in a landslide. it seems the opinions and votes of philadelphians matter very little to the states gop legislature. they are trying to impeach him.

move, the states gop legislature has launched an impeachment investigation into philadelphia's elected district attorney larry krasner. and painting the progressive prosecutor and the democratic party as a whole as soft on crime. so, now should democrats fight back? let's discuss with the man himself, larry krasner joins me now. thank you so much for coming back on the show. the effort to impeach you is not only unprecedented, it frankly is anti-democratic. correct me if i'm, wrong you won reelection by a report margin last year. republicans are coming after not because of any great offense or violation of your duties, because they don't like your policies. >> by the way, thank you for cline to their public and bogeyman. that's almost as good as what is called a race trader in virginia. these are things i can be. i'm happy to be them. so, here is the deal. the reason this is happening, i hope the democratic party is listening to. it is because they cannot beat us in elections. the reality is that progressive

prosecutors reform prosecutors used to represent about 10% of the u.s. population a couple of years ago. it is now 20%. our popularity doubled. they came after us in l.a. and chicago with everything they had. we just kept winning those elections. here is the point, if we just keep winning the elections, how are they going to take us out? the answer is, they're going to do it with recalls. they're going to do with impeachment. they're going to do it with every anti-democratic tactics that they have. that also means that my friends in my party, the democratic party should take notice. they can't beat us. if you want to win in pennsylvania, you need philly, fairly wants reform. you need pittsburgh, pittsburgh wants reform. the democratic party needs to get a big old tent. they need to wrap their arms around the reality that if they turn away from criminal justice reform which has been so successful and touch so many people deeply, they're going to be turning away from a lot of votes that answer the trump votes. >> i mentioned that hammering

democrats on crime has long been part of the gop's election playbook. you mentioned the importance of stressing criminal justice reform, the popularity of criminal justice reform. the reality is, when crime goes up when violent crime goes up in some places, when murder rates go up in some places, it is hard for democrats to defend against that. in wisconsin, republican senator ron johnson made crime a central part of his campaign against democratic lieutenant governor mentality barnes won. the wisconsin democrat or expressed frustration abc news wondering why it took so long for the campaign to figure out crime messaging. what would you be messaging in a race like that? >> i have to respectfully differ. it's easy. here is the reality. the murder rate is 40% higher in the trump states and in the biden states. how do they get to claim that they are safer? it is 40% higher in all the trump states as compared to the biden. states eight of the ten most murders cities in the u.s. are trump cities. what are we talking about here?

just because they keep hollering we are this thing doesn't mean they are and we are really just back to the southern strategy. this is richard nixon in 1968 all over again. standing up at the convention and hollering lawlessness, lawlessness. he only haulers it's about big cities that are diverse in there -- there is a reason for this. the reason is, this is a dog whistle. it is one more way of not seeing the racial epithet by saying it's either states rights, busing, now we're going to say it in terms of lawlessness and big cities. we have been here before. we as democrats should know better. we should do better. we should talk about the reality that the republican party is led by -- the worst criminal president, now ex president of our time. it was in 1968 led by a criminal, richard nixon. out of office specifically for that reason. they don't get to claim the high ground here. they are supporting crime. they are committing crime. they are more criminal. when people like us say please

give us some decent gun regulation so we can be safer, the answer is no we're not going to do that. we're going to blame progressive cut prosecutors, we're going to blame democrats. democrats have got to standup. this is a nonsense argument that we can beat. >> i have to say, tim miller early on the show said democrats need to be more aggressive. that is what you are sounding like. it is an interesting position the party finds itself in on the issue of law in order given who runs the republican party right now. before i let you go, i want to ask you about a landmark conviction. your office secured it a few weeks. ago the former philadelphia police officer was found guilty of manslaughter in the 2017 shooting of unarmed black man the first conviction of an undue t officer in your city for at least half a century. on top of the other policies, your office has been able to implement redirecting resources away from prosecuting low level crimes, instituting cash ville reforms, how do you hope that winds like these help restore people's face in the criminal justice system? >> one of the greatest problems we have when we go to process

kate or homicide cases, we have so few willing witnesses and participants. it is a terrible problem for law enforcement when they try to -- we were with them to solve the cases. the only way you're getting witnesses back, the only way you're getting juries to trust prosecutors, when we do at the right way. we do it when we do it with integrity. some people have said, they're pretty smart people. the problem that they have a progressive prosecutor's is not the case, we won't prosecute, let's say for example prostitution, sex work. it's the cases we will. when we go and try to hold police officers, the few who commit crimes equally out countable, that is a scandal. it is exactly what is necessary. it is the antidote we need to fix what has been wrong with prosecution, wrong with policing for a long time. we can get the witnesses to come forward, we can be trusted. people will participate in law enforcement. >> larry krasner, we will have to leave it there, thank you so much for your time. coming up, at the top of the

anti democratic extremists, and to your point, and good on you for spending time on your show talking about this for far too long. the media in this country have treated politicians twofold and espouse these authoritarian and hateful ideas with kid gloves. they questioned these figures, and welcomed them on his show, simply as politicians with policy differences, or merely controversial points and views that we are talking about the very existence of their democracy and the country. if you don't call them out for one day are, and crystallized for the american people what these individuals represent. i'm sorry matthew, but we are doomed. >> we are indeed, and i'm glad you and i are calling it out tonight at least. >> and get on you for spending on time talking about that. enjoy the rest of your evening, and thank you for joining us at home. coming up on ayman dangers, -- now reporting that at people were sent to defend the extension -- and did not act on warnings of
