passage you read from the new yorker. they need to stitch together all of their accomplishments on redirecting the shape of the american economy, being more active on the consumer front, whether it is credit card fraud, junk fees, the return of antitrust enforcement, the way in which the state is now acting as a investment bank and claiming height to the economy and health care, it is a story and they need to tell it. >> they have a lot to do tomorrow. it is great to see you, thank you for your time tonight. that is our show for this evening, now it is time for the last word. >> we have a quorum at the last word, we have three senators joining us tonight. adam schiff who is one election night away from becoming the next senator in california,

republicans cannot take the state. currently a senator running for a senator and call in, the big winner in texas last night on his way to the general election in november. against senator cruise, only winning by three points this time, this could be the time. it is senate night here. >> you might be able to hash out a plan for immigration reform in a hour. >> we did something unusual for tonight's segment, we rehearsed it. we rehearsed for a hour in front of a live audience at the 92nd street y and we will bring all of the best jokes, down to a much tighter version of it during this hour. >> i heard about the musical number at that event so i am excited for it. have a great show.

>> and then there were two, it is now the biden versus trump campaign for the presidency, the challengers dropped out of the republican and democratic primary today, nikki haley took one-state last night before dropping out today and phillips took absolutely nothing as expected before dropping out of the democratic primary. the campaign was run exclusively on the assertion joe biden is too old to be president. they unanimously agreed that biden is not old enough to be replaced by phillips. the chair of the biden harris campaign, after serving as the campaign manager four years ago, released a memo on the state of the race and if you choose to pay attention to one campaign operative this year, it should be her, she was right

about everything she said about the biden presidential campaign last year, today she said upwards of 10% of voters remain undecided, much larger than the current margin between trump and biden in pulling and they are highly supportive of the policies of the biden in harris administration like protecting abortion access and defending the affordable care act. the undecided voters are also the least tuned in to politics of any group. as the election ramps up the campaign will aggressively engage the undecided voters highlighting the stakes of this selection to secure their votes in november. a significant share of moderate and hilly voters across the country are saying trump cannot count on their votes in a general election, so far, 1-3 republican voters think trump would be unfit of the presidency if convicted of a

crime. there is nothing more important this year for the democrats and democracy itself then winning the presidency. the next best thing, the next most important thing is the united states senate. i for one do not believe trump will take the presidential election but if you are one of the millions that is worried that he will, you should find ways to help elect democrats to the senate. the senate should be campaign objective two, if democrats control the senate they can stop every single thing that donald trump tries to do legislatively. they can stop every presidential appointment trump makes that requires senate confirmation so, with democrats in control of the senate trump

will not have a ag in charge of helping trump get away with crimes and commit more crimes. trump will not have a secretary of defense willing to violate the law and controlling the use of american troops within the u.s. with democrats in control of the senate trump will not be able to confirm a single federal judge that will take away your rights. not one. the senate is more important than the house because it controls the confirmation process so tonight with every other broadcast focused entirely on the two names that will be on the top of the presidential outlet in november, this program will focus on the second most important names you will see on the ballot. candidates for the u.s. senate. we begin tonight with the winner of the biggest senate campaign in the country last night in the biggest state in a real democracy. if a dakota gets two senators, california will get at least

40. california's population is 40 times larger than the population of each dakota. because democracy was not the first principle in the design of the u.s. senate or presidency, the people in california are stuck with only two senators and the presidency is winnable by the candidate that gets the least votes because the electoral college formula is based on the same anti-democratic formula that has given us two senators per state. for most california voters that i know, it has never been more painful to be stuck with only two senators as it is tonight. that is because in california, in the senate campaign there were three democratic candidates running for senate against each other for the same senate seat and democrats had to choose. the choice was difficult and

confusing. many voters believed the candidates who lost the senate race would remain in the house of representatives, they did not realize that other candidates were on the ballot yesterday for the house seats currently occupied by adam schiff, katie porter and barbara lee. each of those candidates made the all or nothing decision to go for the senate knowing they could not legally at the same time run to keep the house of representative seats just in case. each of those candidates would have taken this race if the other two were not in the race. the last polls before the election showed adam schiff in first place with republican steve garvey a former baseball player for the dodgers who has never held a elected office. katie porter in 3rd and barbara in 4th. that is what the polls show. almost every democrat i talked to about this wanted to see the

democrats take first and second place because the top two democrats face off in november and there would be no worries because a democrat would win. i knew some voters that had their minds made up easily for adam schiff, katie porter or barbara lee. my daughter loves katie porter so it was easy for her, of course most democrats always want to see republican candidates crushed at the ballot box in california, they did not want to see steve garvey in the top two but that is not what happened. adam schiff who had nancy pelosi's endorsement and by far the most campaign money came in first and steve garvey the republican came in second. so it will be adam schiff versus steve garvey in november which means in reality tonight, the campaign is over. no republican has been elected statewide in california in over 30 years who did not fully support the weight of

established rights to reproductive freedom, the last republican governor arnold schwarzenegger fully supported wade. the three candidates introduced themselves to california voters this way. >> when our democracy was in danger, he stood up. adam schiff took on a corrupt president, he fought to protect our values and the rule of law. now we face a greater danger. we need adam schiff more than ever. >> i am adam schiff and i approve this message. >> washington, the u.s. senate drowning in big farm lobbyists. democrat katie porter has been called the leadership we desperately need, a watchdog,

katie porter, insisting the senate starts working for you. she plans to make housing more affordable, and disarm washington special interests. fighting for you. >> i am katie porter and i approve this message. >> a lot of people talk about courage but for barbara lee, courage is more than a word, it is her life story. growing up in a segregated town and successfully fighting to overturn her schools ban on black cheerleaders, that took courage, leaving a abusive marriage, earning a masters as a single mom and winning a seat in congress where few looked like her, courage. breathing death threats to cast the sole no vote. fighting for affordable healthcare, good schools and leaguer abortion.

some talk courage and barbara lee listed. >> when we fight we win. it is time we elect barbara lee to the senate to represent all of us. with courage. >> tough choice, imagine having choices like that on your senate ballot. adam schiff's campaign which had tripled the amount of money of his nearest competitor produced twice as many television ads including a group of ads that reminded voters what is at stake in the u.s. senate by aiming the ad at the republican in the race. >> want to know how steve garvey feels about donald trump? ask. >> he did a exceptional job. >> no wonder garvey wants to block the agenda in support building the border wall. steve garvey stands for trump.

>> both times he was the best person for the job. >> when they tell us who they are, we need to listen. steve garvey is too conservative for california. >> the ads helped adam schiff and at the same time steve garvey. republicans solved the ads and decided they wanted to vote for steve garvey and katie porter thinks the ads lifted steve garvey to second place. strategically the democratic party and i mean this strategically, is better off having one democratic candidate facing one republican in california where the republican is guaranteed to lose as they always do. if two democrats were running against each other for the same senate seat in california, the biggest state and the most expensive state, it would be the most expensive senate race

in history, that title currently belongs to pennsylvania with the sender race for john federman in 2022 cost 373 million. that money was used only on the senate race and none of it was available for any other campaign. pennsylvania has two expensive media markets, philadelphia and pittsburgh and neither of the markets are as expensive as the three big california media markets, la, san francisco and san diego are the campaigns have to purchase tv ads. a hard-fought senate campaign can cost half 1 billion in california and with two democrats on the ballot, all of the money would be coming from democratic party donors and none of that money would be usable for the presidential campaign or other crucial senate campaigns. adam may not want you to know this but according to recent precedent, he does not feature money anymore.

you can send it to other senate campaigns because the last senate campaign in california cost the winner $4 million. the winner is someone most people, even in california have not really heard of. senator alex padilla, senator padilla did not have to spend real money in his reelection campaign to take 61% of the vote against a republican because that is what happens to republicans running statewide in california. no matter how much money you spend and that is what is going to happen in steve garvey in california. as to adam schiff's campaign's strategic choice of attacking steve garvey in campaign ads, ask yourself, would it have been better if the democrats attacked each other in campaign ads? they did not do that.

in a fair world, barbara lee would have become a senator a long time ago but that would have required diane feinstein to decide not to stay in the senate for 30 years. in a fair world kitty porter would be moving up to the senate this year and adam schiff would be moving up to the senate this year and in a really fair world, california would not only have two senators, this year's california senate election is a another hard reminder that life is not fair and politics are not fair, it does not feel fair sometimes. it also reveals a problem that only the democratic party has, the problem of more political and governing ability and people like katie porter and barbara lee vendor is currently room for an elective office. you can hope the biden and harris administration puts katie porter's skills and

barbara lee's skills to work in the next term. newly elected senators can often feel intimidated. the first time they rise to speak in the senate chamber. almost all of them do. when senator adam schiff does that next year, rises to speak in the senate chamber, it will be his first time. >> he has portrayed his national security and will do so again, he compromised our elections and will do so again, you will not change him and you cannot constrain him, he is who he is, truth matters little to him, what is right matters less and decency matters not at all. >> leading off our discussion tonight is senator elect adam schiff, congressman schiff i know it is premature but i also

know it is california and i know what will happen to steve garvey. so here we are. that moment and those days on the senate floor at the impeachment prosecutor in trump's first senate impeachment trial, how much did that come up when you were talking to voters in california, i remember thinking at the time how powerfully you were delivering the prosecution, how prophetic it turned out to be and how it must have been registering in the minds of people watching. >> lawrence, i found on the campaign trail up and down the state, really two things motivating voters, the first was, yes a deep concern about the direction of the country, even the potential, the prospect or possibility of returning to the madness of donald trump and they wanted somebody in the senate that knew how to fight him and

defend the democracy if the worst came to the worst. i also found more prevalent a desire among californians that like senator feinstein they wanted somebody that knew how to get things done and take on the big fights but also knew how to work with others and deliver more affordable housing, bring down childcare costs, make sure people can afford healthcare and access it. so does bread and butter issues any desire for someone that can deliver, that was also or maybe even more a potent message in more resonant with voters than the democracy issues. >> steve garvey your opponent has admitted to voting for trump twice. what else will california voters learn about steve garvey between now and november. >> a great deal, he has been unwilling to say much about his

abuse because he knows they are out of step with california but we know he shares the views of border crisis and demonizing immigrants, we know he will not defend reproductive freedom or seek to restore it. this is somebody in the past who supported a constitutional amendment to ban abortion. we know he will not stand up to the nra and fight for common sense gun safety legislation. he is happy with the minimum wage being seven dollars, we know he will not fight for a economy that works for everyone so the contrasts will be sharp for california voters and we will do everything we can to make sure voters know this and while i appreciate your optimism, my view has always been, run scared or run unopposed and i am not running unopposed. >> i get it. so, in that senate, and discussions with chuck schumer

and sherman, and up with committee assignments which are much more stable in the senate, they do not kick people off committees in a partisan way in the senate the way they have done in the house. would you want to go back to the intelligence committee in the senate where you served as chairman in the house? >> i would love to but what i want to do also because of the phenomenon you mentioned, as big as california is we get the same number of senators as every other state, i want to talk to the senator and compare with what committees he is sitting on and determine where i can add the most value for californians if i am lucky enough to emerge successfully in november. i want to make sure i am in a position to deliver for the country but i love the issues and the intelligence committee

and i am a senior member of the house judiciary committee and want to play a role if i have the opportunity to make sure we restructure the supreme court, that we have term limits, a enforceable code of ethics, there is a lot i know i want to do. >> as the biden campaign looks at the country for democratic president campaigns, california is a place you go to raise money, it is not a place you have to go to campaign and it is not a place you have to spend money on tv ads because joe biden will take california easily. what are the lessons of political concern in california that you translate to other states that the biden campaign should be thinking about and other senate campaigns should be thinking about. >> real quality of life issues. you are right, in a normal

world, someone with biden's record should be coasting to reelection, he has done more than any president in my lifetime to address fundamental inequities in our economy but nonetheless there have been problems that are decades in the making in which people continued to work harder than ever but many struggle to get by and these very down to earth issues, how to afford a place to live, why do i have to commute two hours to get to work, is there a better way to do this? on the campaign trail i talked a lot about my dad who was a traveling salesman and made 18,000 a year and my folks purchased our first home for 18,000, it shows you how much life has changed. no president has done more to try to address that but i think he needs to acknowledge what he has done and he has a lot to brag about but also the work ahead and how he will fight to make the economy work for everyone were as trump who we saw in those four years will fight to make the economy work

for trump and enrich himself and his family. >> adam schiff winner of the california senate primary, thank you for joining us and the winners circle tonight. >> enqueue. coming up, the big democratic winner in texas last night, took it by a wide margin in november he will face republican senator cruise who took his last election by three points. we are joint next. downy will soften your clothes without dyes or perfumes. the towel washed with downy is softer, and gentler on your skin. try downy free & gentle. i love your dress. oh thanks! i splurged a little because liberty mutual customized my car insurance and i saved hundreds. that's great. i know, right? i've been telling everyone. baby: liberty. did you hear that? ty just said her first word. can you say “mama”? baby: liberty. can you say “auntie”?

i cannot tell you how much it means to me to be your nominee, to be the next senator in the great state of texas. we will work together to hold a movement of democrats, independents and republicans that will defend our freedoms, fight for our democracy, and sure a economy that works for everyone, and who secures our border and we will make wade

the law of the land again. so folks like ted cruz cannot fourth texas women to flee their own state to get the healthcare they need. it is unacceptable and outrageous. allie and i have been blessed with two baby boys in dallas over the last five years. i was at every ultrasound appointment, those rooms are too small to have had cruise in there when you are trying to make decisions. >> in the texas senate race it is now he is against senator cruise after taking 50% of the vote, carson reminded texans where senator cruise was when he had worked to do. >> you know i am a civil rights lawyer, i have to talk about

doctor king, he said the ultimate measure of a leader is not where they stand in moments of comfort and convenience it is where they stand in the most challenging moments, we know were ted cruz stands when those moments come, when 30 million texans are freezing in the dark he decides to go to cancun. when our democracy was under attack he was hiding in the supply closet. after he whipped up the mob, we know where he stands. >> tuning is now in the winners circle is texas democratic congressman colin. thank you very much for joining us, in your language it is a field goal. you are a former nfl player. you got a field goal that o'rourke could not pull off three years ago you have to close those three points that separated him from cruise. >> a lot has changed in those

six years and here in texas we are dealing with the reality on what a near total ban on abortion looks like. it looks like the doctor who is my guest to the state of the union tomorrow, a mother of two, got the news we all hope we do not get, that the pregnancy was not viable and she needed to flee the state to get the healthcare she needed and it is outrageous, it is outrageous that we have the senator like ted cruz who is only focus on himself, when crisis hits our state, he abandons us. we can do better than him and i know we will cover that gap. >> ted cruz has never answered the concerns of a woman that you just described who will be at the state of the union tomorrow night, he never said here is what i think should happen in cases like that. >> no, in fact he has never

been camera shy but he flees every time a camera or someone wants to ask him about the predictable results of the policies he has championed and pursued which led us to this position we are in now where we have these tragedies were women's are victims with nowhere to go, we have stories like doctor dennard and kate and we are seeing the downstream impacts in areas of the economy and universities, this will have wide reaching impacts and the only way to solve it is by codifying wade at the federal level so i hope folks help us do that, go to the website and make sure we can beat cruise in november. >> he mentioned not running for reelection in west virginia, democrats will most likely not hold onto west virginia which will take them down to 50, if

they lose any other seat they currently hold and there is tough wants to take, they could drop out of power. if you can turn texas, if you can turn those three points, all calculations change and it would give the democrats at least the 50 they need to control the senate. >> you know me lawrence, i am a fourth generation texan and i am focused on texas first. when i played in the nfl, we had guys that were always looking out for themselves and we knew who they were, we called them me guys and we have a me guy presenting us in the senate now. there is national implications around this race and i do think it is the best pickup opportunity in the country, i want folks to get over whatever the past scar tissue is. for us in texas we need a senator that cares about us who

is not a me guy, who is looking out for all of us, who is not abandoning us when we need them. that is what this race is about. we in texas can do better than ted cruz and with the help i am confident we will. >> thank you very much for joining us tonight on your first full day of being the nominee. i really appreciate it. coming up, for the next guest, if he loses the election campaign the democrats will likely lose control of the senate, it is that simple and it is that important. the amazing political miracle worker of ohio, senator brown will join us next. next. nspire. no mask. no hose. just sleep. inspire. learn more and view important safety information at inspiresleep.com

in ohio tonight, republican candidates competing in the primary for the honor of running against democratic senator brown in november have their final debate tonight in which they were once again out of step with the majority of the people of ohio on a issue of freedom. >> let's get to a 15 week standard or after 15 weeks there is common sense restrictions so in this country, the greatest country on earth, we do not have elective late

term abortions. >> i do not think there is disagreement up here, if the u.s. is passing laws throughout the state that will allow late term abortions i think the federal government needs to find the reasonable position. >> i fight to protect the sanctity of life, i was proud to vote to defund planned parenthood when i served in the state legislature and amass a 100% pro-life voting record. >> joining us now is senator brown, what i did not hear their was support for what people in ohio have voted for, how they expressed themselves already on this issue. >> there is a certain arrogance to this, they did not acknowledge what happened last november in a state people say

it's conservative. people in ohio voted to protect constitutional rights for women and the constitutional rights to abortion and still these rich guys running against each other all think they know better, they called for a abortion ban and they dance around it but fundamentally they are for the abortion ban in direct opposition. to what the voters of ohio said. clearly we will make that contrast on that issue and the contrast on their daily work, i watched all three of the debates and never a talk about workers were keeping description drug prices down so workers can afford prescription drugs. growing prices at the grocery store but there is one time they talked about workers, all three agreed they should get rid of the minimum wage. they are all fighting with each

other but they are not focusing on real issues that affect real people in ohio. >> agreement on illuminating minimum wage, there is that. two people in ohio understand that it is really you who is standing there, between democratic or republican control of the senate? if they lose you in the senate they will likely drop below 50, is that something people in ohio are voting for or are they voting for the guy they know and that is all they really need to know? >> they will vote for the person that understands and listens and does 40 roundtables about the packed act protecting veterans exposed to football sized burn pits, the guy that detected the pensions of 100,000 workers, stood up on

issue after issue because as you and i have talked, most voters in ohio and elsewhere do not see this left to right move and trying to get to whatever the middle is, they look at who's side you are on and people know when they go to the grocery store a big part of the grocery bill goes to stock buybacks and excess profits of corporations who have done very well during the pandemic. they know the reason democrats stood up and capped the price of insulin is because i stood up and others stood up against drug companies, against what norfolk southern did in east palestine, standing up on issues and keeping wall street accountable. so voters understand, they do

not think about what this means nationally, they think about somebody representing them who fights for workers, holding special interests accountable. >> what are voters telling you about how inflation affects them? we know in the macroeconomic statistics that inflation is going down and we did a better job than any other country but that is not a answer when people are paying higher prices. >> that is absolutely not a answer, they intuitively understand because they seek corporations get away with paying far too little in taxes compared to what they pay, they seek corporations and banks bailed out but they are not bailed out if something happens to their pension unless people like me stand up for them. they go to the grocery store they know they are paying for stock buybacks and higher prices because greedy corporations have used the pandemic and their power in the

marketplace to raise prices, these three guys debating are all rich guys and calling each other names, the public is not hear that, they want somebody that will fight for them and will be on their side and somebody that means it when i talk about the dignity of work. >> senator brown, patiently waiting for republicans in that state to decide which rich guy he has to run against. thank you. earlier tonight, hearst our next segment, for a hour before the live audience, we will give you the short version next when they join us right here in the studio. studio.

this is a great work tool for me. i had each one of these indictments in different files and we started to lose them. so for everyone that works with this it is incredible. my intention when we get to march 25 and into the first trial when the team is presenting the first prosecution against trump is to constantly be referring to the indictment in here because there are passages in indictments that are half a paragraph that do not mean very much and then suddenly there are three witnesses filling up that half of a paragraph and now i get it. >> the whole reason we wrote the book is because these documents are available and we understand americans are interested in them but not everyone necessarily has a law degree or there is a that may wonder what this actually is about so we collected all of

them so you can have them in one place and we go through and explain it as law professors. it is heavily annotated, we have linked the introductions that explain and contextualize what is going on and put these historic events and the unprecedented charging of a former president with criminal liability in context so people can follow along and participate in what is a extraordinary event. >> your co-authors jack smith -- >> ghostwriters. >> -- i am sure were writing for this, these indictments are beautifully written which is not something you often say about indictments. they are as easy and sensible to read as indictments can be as if they were hoping they would be offered this way to the public. >> we explained these are speaking indictments as opposed to much more opaque most of the

time. even with that there is a lot of material that is hard to understand if you are not a lawyer. we were really trying to make sure the public will understand what is about to happen in new york on march 25. it is so important that this not be something people just get through filtered newspapers or this show. you want people to actually understand the charges, the decisions that were made, the language that is used in as melissa said, we tried to put it in context in terms of other charges and globally because we are not the first country doing this. there are many countries that have done this and have done it better than we have. we are not looking good right now. one of the main things we wanted to point out in the introduction is how people should see this historic time

in terms of global history. >> global history meaning the criminal prosecution of former presidents, it is something the world knows how to do even if we never have. >> that is right, when all of this started in the first indictment was announced, people talked about are we deciding to a banana republic but as we show in the book it is quite consistent with democratic principles and the rule of law to hold former leaders accountable when there has been profound his conduct and other systems have done it, south korea, italy, france, all over the world, it is just unprecedented for us, that bit of america exceptionalism is anomalous, everywhere around the world it is quite common to hold your former leaders to account. >> there has been almost a kind of royalist strain that is still there that says we must never treat the head of state

this way. >> that is the perfect analogy, we have seen trump use the louis xiv, i am the state, we cannot be touched, we are about to have a supreme court argument about whether the president is accountable to the rule of law, the fact that that is happening in democracy, if you compare it to argentina, they have been through this and countries we think of as not necessarily as advanced as we are but other countries said of course not, that is what it means to be a democracy. the main goal here is to try to make sure the public has the tools to be able to decide this for themselves and this is not something they see in cynicism and trump can say do not trust what is going on, we want people to understand it for themselves as if they are a juror in the courtroom.

>> on april 25 when we are listening to the supreme court, the indictment in here is at issue. i will be flipping open the pages on the sofa at home listening to the supreme court argument, trump's lawyers will misrepresent what is in the indictment to varying degrees. jack smith will be pulling them back to what is actually charged. >> that is right, we are not about to have this spring court argument, the sense of urgency around this question if trump is immune to criminal liability does not seem to be urgent for the supreme court so we will hear it a month and a half from now and we will not know when the decision comes out but in that moment we will hear where the court is on this. we heard a little bit from some of the justices in this disqualification opinion that came out, three of the justices in a fiery occurrence essentially calling trump a oath breaking insurrectionist

and chiding their colleagues for trying to move this in a direction favorable for the court and trump. >> the book is, the trump indictments, the commentary is really what it is all about. thank you both for being here. it was really fun earlier tonight as well. we will be right back. ht back. even days after using. most common side effects were nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain. ask about nurtec odt. my name is marie. i'm 49 years old and i'm a business owner. i own a lemonade and ice cream shop in florida, so i can feel and see that my lines have gotten deeper
