shawna was never given a funeral.the case would one day be solved. to put it bluntly, my sister has been sitting in a box on a shelf for 30 years. she won't be any more. advocates of this technology say that could be used to solve tens of thousands of murderers in the us alone, but there's a question of privacy here. do we want law enforcement knowing so much information about us? genetics isn'tjust any old tool for law enforcement, it's a particular and a potent tool because it's not like a phone number that you just change when you get too many spam calls or even a social security number that you might have reissued if somebody, you know, takes yours. it's a technology in its infancy. we don't know yet what it will tell us, how well it will tell us things about people. the big criticism of this technology is around consent. so after i get my dna tested, i can go on to gedmatch and i can upload my raw dna files to the website. here is the problem with that — i share dna with my relatives, and critics argue that once

shawna, when you look at this piece of legislation, it says the g.o.p. will let the states decide how to use federal money. but why is that so complicated? and what's at the heart of this debate? >> well, it's so complicated, because even though they're saying we're gonna create a formula and give all the states this money, in the end, for a lot of states, that means a lot less money is going to them. and overall, the cuts are fairly large. so because we don't have a congressional budget, one has said it's a $215 billion cut in health care funding between 2020 and 2026. in 2027, they say it goes up to $489 billion. at the heart of it, it is a program to make the size of government smaller, which is a very conservative thing. but when you start looking at, individual state? the states start to say things like, wait a second, if you're going to give me a billion less over 10 years, how am i going to fund these health care programs i already have? the states will have to grapple with what makes the best health care for them, if this thing goes through. >> g

>> well, i agree with everything that shawna said.ikability is a universal question that we ask about every politician. there's an element of sexism in evaluation of candidates, less so now than there was ten years ago or 20 years ago. i do think hillary clinton was sueyjen risk. there was 25 years of history layered onto evaluations of hillary clinton's candidacy which simply don't exist with elizabeth warren, so all of that leads me to say it's just early. we've got wide-open field. she has a lot of assets. she's very talented. she's extremely bright and a leader in important policy areas for the democrats. we will see how she plays on the ground, and i think the idea of force feeding an early comparison to hillary clinton is just not time for that. >> so i put this question out there on twitter as we were pulling together the show tonight, if candidates were president, is what are some of the things they would have to ask about, and bill crystal wrote back. he said some of the differences would be one, is she likable? men don't hav

shawna alexander claimed it was suspicions she might be suicidal.but she seems to have bought the hand gun she used to shoot high and intended to shoot herself several years before this so she had it for a while. so you have to give her credit for focus. she drives the five hours. she gets up to the house. as luke and julia describe very well, i should say she called high to say she was coming. it's a five-hour drive. she's not going to surprise him. she calls and he says don't come. i'm having a party, lynn's here, don't come. she does anyway. but she runs into traffic. again, she stays through work. she doesn't get there until late in the evening. i want to say 10:00-ish, 10:00 p.m., maybe 11:00. she gets in the house and decides she wants to say good-bye to high. she wants to see him one last time. so she goes up to his bedroom and that's where she finds lynn's lingerie, lynn's stuff in the bathroom. she feels agitated, upset. she might do some yelling. high wakes up, basically says, yeah, i'm tired, i'm going back to sleep. shut up. that was not

shawna, how important is it that a covid relief bill gets passed soon?, it's incredibly important. we have people facing evictions, we have people as kasie pointed out who are having a hard time putting food on their table. lines of people waiting outside churches as communities try to gather enough food to feed their communities. this is incredibly important, but the cynical part of me answers part of why it's important to congress and to the senate especially is that georgia senate runoff. if you are david perdue, if you're kelly loeffler who are currently senators in the united states senate, do you want to be running in that runoff if this government is not sending unemployment checks or sending more money to your constituents? georgians are literally their constituents right now. and so i hate to be cynical about this because there's so much pain in this country, there's so many people who have lost loved ones, so many people who have lost jobs, but part of the importance is the fact that we have got an election where the senate majority hangs in th
