palestinian people, the palestinian people not hamas, they realize that there is a court for their aspirations for statehood. this is a long and difficult road ahead. but i do know that the biden administration wants to keep that hope alive and keep the hope that there's gonna be a prospect of establishment of relations between saudi arabia and israel. but these are all very complex and complicated issues that are going to take continued work on the part of our diplomats. >> former cia director john brennan, it's always so good to speak to you. that is our show for this evening. now it's time for the last word with lawrence o'donnell. good evening, lawrence. >> good evening, alex. it is here for the favorite -- is gonna join us this hour. he is of course the miracle worker of ohio, the only democrat who seems to be able to get elected statewide in

ohio and i think he has much to teach us about how to win in november for democrats. >> the recipe to the secret sauce for democrats. >> and alex, i don't know if you have a policy on this. maybe you do. what's your policy when a guest shows up in formal wear. >> i celebrated, lawrence. >> mine is just no comment, no questions. black tie, where have you been, i don't think that it's -- >> i think it's because you expect your guests to arrive like. that >> it throws me every time. and that's all i'm going to say about it, okay? i am not going to,. >> and we'll know who the guest is momentarily. >> the audience will figure it out. they can ask their own questions on twitter. who knows. >> i'll be watching. >> thanks alex. >> have a good show. >> we have breaking defendant trump news tonight, but first, secretary of defense lloyd austin offered a new

description today of how president biden will respond to the attack in jordan that killed three american personnel. >> i would just tell you that we will have a multi tiered response and again, we have the ability to respond a number of times, depending on what the situation is. >> before secretary austin took questions from the press, he did something that we did not see in the four years of the trump administration. he apologized. he apologized for not telling the president or the news media about his medical problems sooner than he did. duty, honor, country is the motto of lloyd austin's alma mater, west point. today, lloyd austin, who served 41 years in the army, in the infantry, earning a silver star and reaching the rank of four star general, showed us all what honor is, in a way that no one working for donald trump ever has or ever will and no one named trump ever has or ever will. later in this hour, we will show you what general austin

said. if it's too late tonight for your kids to watch and secretary of defense apologize and take responsibility, please record it so that you can show them what honor looks like, what honor sounds like. kids in high school today have had the misfortune of coming of age in the trump era. they have seen the worst, most dishonourable and indeed criminal behavior by a president of the united states, thanks to the depravity of donald trump. those kids, more than any generation before them, need public models of decency and honor. so please, gather the kids later in this hour so that lloyd austin can give them and us a lesson in duty, honor, country. we have breaking defendant news, defendant trump news tonight in manhattan and florida. don trump's chief financial officer allen weisselberg is in talks with the manhattan district attorney to plead guilty to perjury as donald trump's criminal trial over falsified business records designed to help donald trump win the presidential elections by hiding his payments to porn star stormy daniels remains scheduled to march 25th. in the florida federal criminal case, brought by special cross

prosecutor jack smith accusing them trump of the legal process possession of classified documents, nbc news is reporting the witnesses have told jacks mitt's team about a hidden room off of donald trump's bedroom that the fbi did not find or search when they were executing a search warrant warrant in august of 2022. witnesses also reporting to jackson's team that there was a locked closet that was not surged when the search warrant was being executed. abc reports, according to sources, some investigators involved in the case came to later believe that that closet, which was locked on the day of the search, should have been opened and checked as investigators would later learn, trump allegedly had a closets lock changed while his attorney was in mar-a-lago's basement searching for classified documents in a storage room that he was told would have all such documents. in addition to the closet, the fbi also didn't search what authorities have called a hidden room connected to trump's bedroom, sources said. when agents reached the lost closet, they couldn't locate a key and we're told the space behind the door an old stairwell stairwell was the way nowhere, so decided not to break it open, sources said. unlike a lot closet, the fbi didn't even know the so-called hidden room existed until after they left mar-a-lago. sources said. the agents searched trump's bedroom, small door in one of the walls was concealed behind a larger dresser and a big tv,

sources said. the space behind the wall was the hidden room which maintenance workers sporadically entered to access cables running through it, sources said. joining us now is andrew weissmann, former fbi general counsel of former chief of the criminal division in the eastern district of new york. he's an msnbc legal analyst and coauthor of the book the trump indictments, the historic charging dighton months with commentary, which will be available on february 27th. andrew, andrew, andrew. a hidden room. the fbi missed it. the fbi knew there was a locked closet over there, left without trying to open it. you are counsel to the fbi. this is your team used to work for. also, the special prosecutors, i mean there's so much here. how does that happen with the fbi eye on a premise like that? >> let me tell you what i think

is happening. obviously this should not have happened, to state the obvious. i think the locked closet is more troubling to me than the hidden area where that kind of stuff can happen. it's a very large place. first place to start is the search warrant. the search warrant authorized the fbi to search in any location at mar-a-lago where there could be a document, meaning that the location, if the reporting is true, that were not looked at, the fbi was authorized to look in those locations. so it's not like they could say we didn't do it because the search warrant didn't allow it. the search warrant did allow it. in the issue is, well why didn't they? so the reason i find the locked closet interesting is, my read on that, having done these kinds of investigations and having been in high-profile searches, is that there is complete communication between the agents and the prosecutors while the search has gone on. >> on site.

>> either on-site or if they're not there they don't need to be there. you can be in your office and your lead agent is recording what's happening. what i suspect on that is i would be surprised if this was just an ancient position as opposed to an agent and prosecutor decision. remember, when this search happened it was august of 2022. jack smith was not the special counsel. i could see jack smith saying, now that i am on the case, remember he was appointed in november, i disagree with the decision that was made, i am now concerned, we need to talk to witnesses about what was kept there. that's my guess. if this went according to plan.

it would be unusual for the fbi not to have those kind of communications with prosecutors. that doesn't leave the prosecutors without fault, because i'm not sure why they would have said don't search it. but i'm not sure it's just an fbi issue as opposed to the prosecutors on the case all said. a hidden room, that can happen, in which case, even the reporting doesn't say in fact there were documents there. the problem with not searching is, we will never really know unless there's for some reason a videotape or a very good witness who said yes, this is what was kept there. so should it have been found

and searched? absolutely. they were authorized to do it. that's what our team would do. >> i want to get your reaction to this. in each of your former offices, first when you are with the fbi, this information comes to you, which are did. whoever has your old job. this came to him, him or her, saying oh, there was a locked closet that they didn't search and now we've discovered there's a hidden we didn't search. and you capacity is council for the fbi, what's your reaction to that? >> i will say this, when you're at the fbi there are many many screw ups every day.

you have 3500 employees. like any place where you have 30,000 people. people do wonderful work, people act in good faith, and now and then every place people make mistakes. to me what i don't understand is the call that was made, that you knew of the location of the time we decided not to go into it. that's the one that is more troublesome to me because i don't understand what the rationale is. >> do you think, either in your job at the fbi or your job as a prosecutor, when you get this information, what do you think? do you think we have to go back? >> at this point the problem at this point is that they're not authorized. they have to get a new search

warrant. the search warrant is only -- >> the point where they discovered, which is apparently weeks after the search. >> they would have to have gotten a new -- the problem is you then have to have reason to think that it still would be there. so, well -- >> every single pers watching this television right now as a reason to think it would still be there. >> you can say that, but this is what you need to know. if donald trump still has stuff there and the fbi overlooked, and he would have every reason to move it at that point.

so the problem is, this is one of the requirements for a search warrant. it applies to the fourth amendment. the judges apply the fourth amendment. these are protections that all of us have, which is that there have to be what is called fresh probable cause. may the short of the amount of time that you have between realizing that you didn't do it and second guessing it, you would go back. but again, this could be jack smith who remember was

appointed in november. this search was an august. he may not have known that this was the decision made even months after that. he had a lot of things on his plate before this. so going back would have been tricky for him. i don't look at jack is the potential problem. here i view it as the people before him. >> oh, the hidden room. andrew weissmann, you never know what's coming next. thank you very much. coming up, donald trump says for him to win the electoral college, 300,000 americans will have to be killed. don't trump actually says 300,000 americans are killed every year because the southern border is not secure enough. and he is insisting that the southern border should not be secure for the next year. that's next. year. that's next. i know what it's like to perform through pain. if you're like me,

one of the millions suffering from pain caused by migraine, nurtec odt may help. it's the only medication that can treat a migraine when it strikes and prevent migraine attacks. treat and prevent, all in one. don't take if allergic to nurtec. allergic reactions can occur, even days after using. most common side effects were nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain. relief is possible. talk to a doctor about nurtec odt. detect this: living with hiv, robert learned he can stay undetectable with fewer medicines.

>> in trump losers tonight, by which i mean in this case losers who lose to donald trump, who is, himself, of course, a loser, as joe biden now frequently points out, the presidential campaign of florida governor ron desantis lost to trump in the iowa caucus. desantis spent $8 million and got in return 23,420 votes in iowa. that means loser ron desantis spent the highest dollar amount in american history per vote while he was ignoring his job of governor of florida. he spent $7,169 per vote before offering his complete surrender to donald trump. nbc news reports that republican and democratic senate negotiators say they have struck a deal to enact stronger border security laws, including increasing the border patrol, and that the text of the bill could be released as early as tomorrow or over the weekend.

senate majority leader chuck schumer says he's plans to hold the first procedural vote on the legislation no later than wednesday. the republican speaker the house mike johnson has already said that the senate bill would be dead on arrival in the house of representatives, without reading a single word of the bill speaker johnson said he conferred with donald trump who does not want the bill to be passed because donald trump does not want president biden to get any credit for strengthening border security. donald trump is thrilled to be blamed for attempting to kill the bill in the senate and possibly already having killed the bill in the house of representatives. >> you're blaming it but that's okay, please blame it on me. please. >> okay, we will. if donald trump were to win the presidency, and i don't think he will, he could not possibly side a new border security law until the end of february of next year, at the very earliest, and he could only do that if he had 60 votes in the senate to pass a bill, which he won't. but let's just assume. it let's work with the

hypothetical that donald trump will sign a border security bill at least as strong as this one, 13 months from now. donald trump says he wants us to blame him for what happened in the meantime. according to donald trump, that means blame him for killing 300,000 people. >> drug battles are waging war on america, and we will destroy those cartels. you know it's war. i believe we're losing 300,000 not they say 91, it's not 91,000. 300,000 people a year, i believe are lost to drugs pouring into our country. that's worse than a war, okay? it's worse than a war. okay so that's donald trump -- >> that's on trump saying 300,000 people have to die for me. donald trump. so that i can beat joe biden in the electoral college. there is more. >> each drug dealer kills an average of 500 people during his or her lifetime. drugs are pouring in, the drug cartels are waging war in america and we will destroy the cartels. that's an army. that's an army. they're trying to destroy our country, and they will destroy our country. we're a nation where fentanyl and other forms of illegal drugs are easier to get them groceries to feed our beautiful families. >> i for one nowhere to get groceries and i have no idea how to get fentanyl. i've never seen it. i don't want. any donald trump is saying

drugs are pouring in, the drug cartels are waging war in america, and we have to let them continue to wage war in america for another 13 months. that would be like president roosevelt saying we have to love the japanese military continue attacked the united states for 13 months after pearl harbor without us doing a thing about it. that's what donald trump wants. and according to donald trump, it's not just the drugs. >> you see millions of people coming into our country, and totally unchecked, from jails, from mental institutions, terrorists. >> terrorists are pouring in unchecked from all over the world. >> donald trump told republican speaker of the house mike johnson he wants terrorists to come into this country unchecked, as he says, for the next 13 months at least. mike johnson must promised to do absolutely nothing about it and mike johnson, who serves only the perverse desires of donald trump, said yes sir. joining us now, stuart stevens, veteran of five republican presidential campaigns. senior adviser to the lincoln project and a partner at resolute square, a pro

democracy media platform. he's the author of the it was all a lie, how the republican party became donald trump. and stuart, i think of your book, the title, it was all a lie, whenever the stories come along, because what this story seems to prove is that for donald trump and for the house republicans, certainly most of them, and for many senators, republican senators, they just don't care about any of this. they don't care at all about any of the policies they've talked about that they want at the southern border because here is their chance, and they just don't care. it's what ever donald trump wants. >> first, lawrence, on behalf of the political consultants union and real estate agents everywhere like to thank ron desantis for his contributions. to the beach houses of america. that's an extraordinary number when you break it down. and it sounds like it's a joke but he was better off before he spent over 100 million dollars. he was literally better off a

year ago. you know, i don't really know what to say about this because it's just so obvious what they're doing. i think probably a lot of senators, i think they probably wince when donald trump says this stuff. like you're not really supposed to say this stuff out loud. you're supposed to have some kind of kabuki play about the difficulty of coming to a deal, they're working hard, they have the best interest of the people at heart. but it's just gone. and you know, i really think, it's not going to play well. ultimately i think people don't want to think about government very much. they would sooner elect people to do something in the republican party is not a governing party now. which is obvious but it seemed like they should at least shot

up about it and not let everybody know straight-up. >> i think it also proves that both donald trump and mike johnson know that what donald trump says about the border is alida, 3000 americans are not dying every year because of the southern border, and everything else about it. this is what republican member dan crenshaw had to say about this. >> it's the height of stupidity, having his own opinion about something you have nothing about. i'm very disappointed in the strange maneuvering by many on the right, this torpedo a potential voter reform bill. if we have a bill that decreases illegal immigration, and we sabotage that, that is we don't do what we told our voters we will do, and people will make up whatever reasons they want to, and there's a number of them i'm sure, but it's pretty unacceptable dereliction of duty. >> stuart, he certainly makes

it sound pretty simple. >> yeah. but to back away from that, and who he supporting for president? donald trump. justice nikki haley well. that's where, there's something really sad at work here. you have to say things you don't believe because you are afraid of what the repercussions would be. and that's really what is happening with the republican party now. they've created an orwellian world. the republican party was posed to be opposing totalitarianism, standing up to the soviet union. how do you square that with the opposite question? why are you supporting donald trump? and there is really no good answer to that. that's where the party is. it's caught between what it says it believes. and what it does. and the two are difficult to square. >> it was all a lie. it's all in stewart's evens

book. thank you stewart for joining us tonight. coming up, while donald trump is running on keeping the southern border as insecure as possible for the next year, president biden is running on his record of supporting american manufacturing jobs and so is our next guest, ohio senator sherrod brown, the democrat or somehow managed to get elected in the state no other democrat seems to be able to win. sherrod brown joins us next. us. s takes you ofse. put it in check with rinvoq, a once-daily pill. when i wanted to see results fast, rinvoq delivered rapid symptom relief and helped leave bathroom urgency behind. check. when uc tried to slow me down... i got lasting, steroid-free remission with rinvoq. check. and when uc caused damage rinvoq came through by visibly repairing my colon lining. check. rapid symptom relief... lasting steroid-free remission... ...and the chance to visibly repair the colon lining. check, check, and check.

a doctor or an engineer. those are good careers! but i chose a different path. first, as mayor and then in the legislature. i enshrined abortion rights in our california constitution. in the face of trump, i strengthened hate crime laws and lowered the costs for the middle class. now i'm running to bring the fight to congress. you were always stubborn. and on that note, i'm evan low, and i approve this message. you want to see who we are as americans? i'm peter dixon and in kenya... we built a hospital that provides maternal care. as a marine... we fought against the taliban and their crimes against women. and in hillary clinton's state department... we took on gender-based violence in the congo. now extremists are banning abortion and contraception right here at home. so, i'm running for congress to help stop them. for your family... and mine. i approved this message because this is who we are.

>> we now have, in large part because of you and organized labor, the strongest economy in the whole world. we do. in the whole world.

>> but sherrod brown says no way. >> working with democrats and republicans to pass the law to make sure that american steel is used. >> only in america. >> in fact, right here in ohio. >> i'm sherrod brown, and i will never stop fighting for ohio workers. that's why i approve this message. >> joining us, democratic senator sherrod brown of ohio, member of the senate finance committee and running for reelection to the state senate. senator, thank you so much for joining us tonight. >> always a pleasure, lawrence, thank you. >> i wanted to start with the fact that this weekend is the one year anniversary, the anniversary not the right word, but the one year mark since the derailment in east palestine, ohio. what has happened to that community since then? and what should be happening? >> first of all, it's a very resilient community. i've been there eight times since that derailment and met with farmers, small business

people, people in health care, just walking up and down the street talking to people. there are two jobs i have there to help them get back as much as possible to their way of life prior to that, to the terrible derailment and secondly to pass legislation so that this doesn't happen again. we know what happened. the railroads, as many corporations in america do so now, follow thisl street business model, they laid off a third of their workers, stock price went up, got stock buyback, compromised public safety and look what happened. so they continue to fight this legislation. we should've passed it by now, but the rail roads are, they're liable for drug companies and wall street in the oil companies and getting their way with congress. but we are not given up. we're gonna pass this bill. >> the house of representatives has done something that i had kind of started to think was

impossible. a negotiated bipartisan bill, negotiated by senate finance committee chairman and the house ways and means chairman, a tax bill that is called the tax relief for american families and workers act of 2024. it got voted through the ways and means committee, now voted through the house of representatives. it's on its way to the senate, where you will have an opportunity to pass this bill that already has this bipartisan design with chairman wyden of your finance committee having negotiated it. i have to say, i'm just amazed that it has worked so smoothly. and, by the way, so quietly. >> well, great victory for families. 550,000 families, families of 550,000 children in my state alone will benefit, 150,000 african american children, small business will benefit, we'll keep our indie work in

this country, so the intellectual property stays here and the job creation is here. wydend gets great great credit for this. he did work with the chair ways and means. we've been working on this for a year and how do we bring back the child tax credit because we know the impact it's having. one of the joys of this job, is when you hear individual stories from people, when the wife of a long distance truck driver, teamster, telling me the town hall in wayne county what saving the pension meant to her and her husband. the stories from kids, families with the trial child tax credit, now better for daycare. they can pay for fees for their daughter's soccer teams or their soccer games or their sons theater in school. all the kinds of things that extra dollars will mean to families. that's what makes this job so worthwhile, when you hear stories like that. i've heard of east palestine,

we're gonna save them significant tax dollars because of the this bill if we can get it through the senate. a small provision that is big to them, and we're seeing a lot of this. we've got to go through the senate. -- or 70, every house republican and democrat in the house voted for it. one of the best pieces of news in a long time. >> it really is. and by the way, please pass my congratulations to the staff at the finance committee who i know and to pull a few all- nighters to get it this fire fire. >> you hired some of them. >> what is so fascinating about it is, i'm gonna use the phrase old-fashioned legislating that we thought had disappeared. good solid bipartisan work in the leadership committee, at the leadership level of the two relevant committees of jurisdiction. you put the package together, moves through the ways and means. and by the way the constitution as you know requires all tax bills must originate in the ways and means committee. so you in the senate have to

wait for that. and now here it is coming to the senate. and it has all sorts of provisions in it that generally speaking republicans aren't enthusiastic about. these very particular forms of support for the tax code of workers and families. it also has corporate tax provisions in it, like you said, research and development. but it seems to me that you tried to design the corporate provisions to be job enhancing, job creating pieces of the bill. >> it's clichi to say win win win win, but this one is. we talked about manufacturing and it is coming back. and the businesses that will benefit from this are companies, i was talking to a number than today checkout strategy, how to get it through the senate and how do we pass it through the house overwhelmingly. it helps families, it helps

east palestine. so that's why i say win win. we are. that's what's really exciting. you said it was done quietly, it was widen and jason smith, the chair of the committee in the house. my only complaint, lawrence is, you say to your audience, i share the banking housing committee which we need more housing in this country and keep wall street accountable. but that's your bias because you used to run that committee. so fair enough. >> i will leave you with a campaign line you can use from senator moynahan when he was chairman of the senate finance committee running for reelection in new york state. he would say to the voters on the senate finance committee because that's where your money is. >> well said. in closing i just want to ask,

>> our prayers continue to be with the families of the three american serviceman killed in attacks in jordan. officers william rivers, brianna moffett, and specialist kennedy sanders. i spoke with each of their families separately, jill and i will be at the air force base tomorrow to receive a dignified chance to bury their bodies. >> that was the president speaking this morning in washington at the pentagon the secretary of defense said this. >> it has been a difficult few days for the department of defense, and the entire department is united in our outrage and sorrow over the death of three u. s. service members on sunday in jordan. we all mourn the loss of three army reserve soldiers serving

at tower 22. sergeant william j. rivers, age 46. sergeant kennedy l. sanders, age 24. and sergeant brianna a. moffett, age 23. our thoughts and prayers are with their families, and their loved ones. we know this grief will never leave them. we hope that they know that the department's love and support will never leave them either. we are also praying for the other american troops who were wounded. now, our teammates were killed when a one-way attack drone struck their living quarters. and we continue to gather the facts about this deadly attack. our fallen soldiers had a vital mission to support operation inherent resolve, and to work with our partners to ensure the lasting defeat of i. s. i. s. .

they risked their lives, and lost their lives to keep their fellow americans safe from global terrorism. the president will not tolerate attacks on american troops. and neither will i. our teammates were killed by radical militias backed by iran. and operating inside syria and iraq. in the aftermath of the terrorist assault on israel on october 7th, terrorist groups backed by iran and funded by iran have tried to create even more turmoil. including the houthis. attacking commercial shipping in the red sea. so this is a dangerous moment in the middle east. we will continue to work to avoid a wider conflict in the region. but we will take all necessary actions to defend the united states, our interest, and our people. and we will respond when we choose, where we choose, and how we choose.

>> that was defense secretary lloyd austin in the briefing room since he was hospitalized for complications following what was supposed to be an outpatient treatment for prostate cancer. he did something today, we did not see in the four years of the trump administration from anyone in that administration. he apologized. lloyd austin said, i did not handle this right, lloyd austin said i take full responsibility. he did not just apologize to president biden for not alerting the president to his medical condition sooner, he apologized to what he called his teammates at the pentagon, and he apologized to each and every one of us. the american people. and while he was added, he delivered an important public health alert, especially to black women who are statistically more susceptible to especially to black men who

are statistically more susceptible to prostate cancer. the apology was everything that a genuine apology should be. it was personal, lloyd austin took us inside of his private thoughts that led to his mistake. and he took full responsibility for his mistake and did not just promise to do better, he described exactly what he has already done to make sure that such a mistake can never happen again. there may be no better way to take the measure of a man than the quality of his apology. and i say a man because we men, in my experience, anyway, which may be different than yours, tend to not be very good at apologizing. the most perverse, extreme of that is of course, donald trump, who has never apologized to anyone in his life for anything. that alone certifies donald trump as unfit for any

responsibility in any activity. for all of us, especially children growing up in the age of trump, who need a lesson in how to apologize, general lloyd austin the third, now secretary of defense austin, gave us that lesson today, while personifying the motto of his alma monitor, duty, honor, country. >> i want to be crystal clear. we did not handle this right, and i did not handle this right. i should have told the president about my cancer diagnosis, i should have also told my team, and the american public. i take full responsibility. i apologize to my teammates, and to the american people. now, i want to make it very clear that there were no gaps in authorities, and no risk to

the departments command and control. at every moment, either i, or the deputy secretary was in full charge. we've already put in place on new procedures to make sure that any lapses and notification don't happen. in the future, if the deputy secretary needs to temporarily assume the duties of my office, she and several white house offices will be immediately notified, including the white house situation room. so wilkie officials across the department. the reason for that assumption of duty will be included in writing. now, i want you all to know why this happened. i was being treated for prostate cancer, the news shook me, and i know it shake so many others, especially in the black community. it was a gut punch.

and frankly, my first instinct was to keep it private. i don't think it is news that i am a pretty private guy, i never liked burdening others with my problems. it's just not my way. but i've learned from this experience, taking this kind of job means losing some of the privacy that most of us expect. the american people have a right to know if their leaders are facing health challenges that might affect their ability to perform their duties, even temporarily. so a wider circle should have been notified, especially the president. now, let me back up a bit. as you know, on the 22nd of december, i had a mentally invasive procedure because of my recently diagnosed prostate cancer. and then i hit some bad luck during what is usually a pretty easy recovery. on january 1st, i felt severe leg pain, and pain in the abdomen, and hip.

that evening, an ambulance took me to walter reed. the doctors found i had several issues that needed treatment, including a bladder infection, and abdominal problems. on january 2nd, i was also experiencing fevers, chills, and shallow breathing. the medical staff decided to transfer me to a critical care unit for several days, to look for closer monitoring and betterteam care by my doctors. the deputy secretary assumed the functions and duties of my office, which happens when necessary. her senior staff, my senior staff, and the joint staff were notified of this through our regular email notification procedures. and i never directed anyone to keep my january hospitalization from the white house. on january 5th, i resumed my functions and duties that secretary from the hospital. it was functioning well mentally, but not so well

physically, so i stayed at walter reed for additional time, and additional treatment, including physical therapy for some lingering issues with my leg. now, i am offering all of this as an explanation, and not an excuse. i am very proud of what we have achieved at the department over the past three years. but we fell short on this one. as a rule, i don't talk about conversations with my boss, but i can tell you, i've apologized directly to president biden. i've told him i am deeply sorry for not letting him know immediately that i had received a diagnosis, and was getting treatment. he has responded with the grace and warm heart that anyone who knows president biden would expect. i am grateful for his full confidence in me. and finally, i also missed an opportunity to send a message on an important public health issue. i would like to fix that right now. i was diagnosed with a highly treatable form of cancer, a

pretty common one. and one in eight american men will get prostate cancer, one in six black men will get it. so i am here with a clear message to other men, especially older men, get screened, get your regular checkups, prostate cancer has a glass jar. if your doctor can spot it, they can treat it, and beat that. the side effects and i experienced our highly, highly unusual. so you can count on me to set a better example today, and for the rest of my life. we will be right back. right b. . if you're like me, one of the millions suffering from pain caused by migraine, nurtec odt may help. it's the only medication that can treat a migraine when it strikes and prevent migraine attacks. treat and prevent, all in one.
