>> 8:25, does michelle carter send you now another text that you receive later on that night? what does she tell you? >> i think he just killed himself. >> she testifies about that incriminating text from michelle. >> i was on the phone with him and he got out of the car because it was working and he got scared. and i [ bleep ] told him to get back in. >> isn't that pretty incriminating stuff? >> yeah. >> yes. and she goes on to say, i could have called police. i could have called his family. but she didn't. what she did do within three minutes is start texting the guy she was trying to date and her other friend, sam boardman, and talking to them about, oh, it's all about me, what am i going to do now? >> she essentially put him back into a gas chamber. she listened to him gasp for air, take his last breath and die and she did nothing. >> michelle's defense resting nearly entirely on one witness, psychiatrist peter breggin. how could the girl who's most likely to brighten your day encourage her boyfriend to take his life? >> the short explanation is, she thought that was the o

they see as a longer term trend. 2014, they had high hopes early in the year, that was michelle nunn, jason carterh lost by about eight, nine points. but 2014 proved to be republican wave year. if you get the reverse of that, a few more years of demographic changes, this is a very interesting test here. the theory of the abrams campaign is a departure from what we're used to hearing about. we'll see. we're going to get some evidence this year about how that theory plays out in an atmosphere like this. >> steve kornacki, i tell you, i'm terrible at making predictions, but no matter what else happens in the rest of that state and the rest of the country in november 2018, i would always expect stacey abrams to outperform expectations. i think she is that good just on a personal level. >> we'll be watching. >> msnbc national political correspondent steve kornacki is the best in the business. we'll be right back. stay with us. the sun is shining so why binge in here, when you can do it out there. with this clever little app called audible. you can listen to the stories you love while doing the things y

was actually just in plains, gr georgia over the weekend and rosalynn carter did a lot for mental hit aealth. and you look at michelle obama's legacy with the let's move campaign. i think that someone like michelle obama was dealing with issues that required some congressional role and also coming up against big companies, food companies, it was very difficult large issue to combat. obesity in america. and so i think that she was a little bit -- this was a bit vague, that is the down side to this. there were not any specifics. but opoid abuse is ravaging the country. it makes complete sense for her to take it on. it is an apolitical issue. no one will find fault with this. >> and kate bennett is there in the rose garden watching as it happened. kate, what did you think about this as we heard some of the details filled in by the first lady? >> reporter: i mean i think it is exactly what she's baby doeeg all along. we watched random trips here and there to a children's hospital, an opoid treatment center, she talked about bullying in schools, she invited tech leaders to the white house. so it sort of culminated in toda

we know a fisa warrant was obtained for carter page a number of times. suddenly, michelleg to see where that came from. >> yeah. here is the difference between the bush years and the obama years. remember that the left was up in high dudgon, and "new york times" was leaking like a sieve using all sources to bring down the bush administration, when it was using these kinds of programs for legitimate purposes to try to protect us from terrorism. what happened it morphed into a program where our intel and law an forcement agencies were hijacked for partisan purposes. and the fact that you have clapper on cnn and brennan and all of these blabbermouths as i call them, it is conduct that is unbecoming of people who were once in charge of our intelligence agencies, that were meant to protect american citizens. brian: something about the investigation is hitting a nerve. brennan is unhinged. clapper seems desperate and more befuddled as usual. james comey suddenly disappeared. michelle, thanks so much. ainsley: thanks, michelle. >> you bet. take care, guys. ainsley: jillian has he

in georgia -- remember it was michelle nun a few years ago, it was jason carter, the moderate candidate who vote republican. the case made by stacey abrams her opponent is hey, we democrats keep trying that, it keeps failing, we keep coming eight to ten points short in georgia, let's try to go to our core voters, let's try to energize and get more of them out, let's expand the pie that way. >> by the way, i don't know anything about this campaign but i do know that that advertisement is still the strongest i've seen all year. give us an overview about what's happened so far in this election cycle. which way have the democrats gone. i know in the last election they went more the bernie route but overall what have they done? >> they're still figuring it out but there are a couple races where the dccc weighed in early and maybe they're going to get rebuffed in a way but maybe they've already made piece. i'll give you an example. in kentucky, there's one congressional district we may end up talking about around the lexington area, the sixth district. this has the highest concentration of co

carter great to see you. thank you so much for joining us, thanks michelle. >> pleasure to be here. >> thank you dagen. >> i can't this morning. >> so much. have a good weekend. >> so much. "varney & company" starts right now. >> good morning everyone. here is the big story. the bombshell it's sinking in america's premier law enforcement agency spied on donald trump's presidential campaign. the fbi had at least one human inform map known as a spy. think about this, the campaign in full swing rough and tomb nbl extreme and one society is spied on by the other i'm sure this is tried in the past but this time around it was the fbi that was doing it in in late spring of 2016 about six months before the presidential vote fbi director james comey told white house officials that his people were watching trump's campaign. so the spying was okayed by comey's political masters the white house knew it be.
