and later, my one-on-one conversation with senator raphael warnock. i got his view on the war in the middle east, and that high profile legal case playing out in his home state. this week felt like a real inflection point in so many ways. because we are all living in a country grappling with growing threats of antisemitism, islamophobia, and deep, deep divisions over how the united states government should respond to a growing conflict in the middle east. and, meanwhile, we have a republican party revealing itself wholly incapable of governing, even amongst themselves. and as we digest all of this and, believe me, this is a lot to digest. i think about something president biden said in his address to the nation on thursday night. >> tonight, there are innocent people all over the world who hope because of us. who believe in a better life because of us. who are desperate not to be forgotten by us. and are waiting for us. but time is of the essence. i know we have our divisions at home, we have to get past them. we can't let petty partisan angry politic

. -- raphael warnock special election, surprisingly good midterm performance is, you know, fully investedverning project, which can't be said of the house. a member of that majority is senator elizabeth warren, the democrat from massachusetts. she joins me now. senator, i know you folks on the senate side don't say a lot about the house and vice versa, but i have to ask you on this day, this has never happened in the history of the country. it's been a long time. we have been through some stuff. what do you make of what is going on on the other side at the capitol? >> for me, it's about the contrast between the parties. look, for the first two years after joe biden was elected, democrats were in the majority in the house and senate. look at what we got done. we got base infrastructure package through in forever. we got the biggest climate package through in the history of the world. we got a 15% minimum corporate tax. we got through 35 dollar insulin, got a cap on what seniors will spend on their prescription drugs. we got through getting rid of junk fees, many at the junk fees out there,

look, if in january, raphael warnock said i was running for president, i would have thought about votingf, but the primary is over now. it's now time where joe biden and kamala harris are the ticket. that's where things are headed. voters are concerned about biden's age. that's real. and that's not just 30-year-olds. i meet some 60-year-olds who feel that way too. that said, he is doing a good job as president most days. i didn't love the comments about civilian casualties for palestinians last week. i thought he should have phrased that differently and he has phrased it differently since then. that said, i think when it comes down to it, donald trump versus joe biden, i think most people will come together. he's got work to do with arab americans who in michigan bring up issues. they have not been happy. there's a sense he's sort of values israeli lives over palestinian lives. he has a year to fix that, but i think there are things to improve on his policy while thinking most people voted for biden over donald trump will still do that. >> you know, and i think those are good points, mic
