The last word with Ellie Velshi in for Lawrence starts right now.

Hey, Ali.

So I don't normally see you on a Tuesday.

It's true.

And I don't know if you mean it as a tribute or it's subliminal, but that's the logo of my show you're wearing.

It's a green V.

I'm going to tell you that it was meaningful.

And it's my excitement about you being.

I won't get to talk to every night when you're on at 11.

But, you know, it's like a symbolic of that.

Regardless of whether we get to talk, I will be watching your show every night.

But my performance will actually be better because as I always tell you, I'm getting ready for this show. Like, it's the final minutes of this show while you're on and I keep watching the TV. So now I'll have a whole extra hour. Your show will be off the air and I'll be watching Lawrence and concentrating on his show, but being able to do it. So either way, it's all good for me.

I appreciate that. I watch shows before me, too. We have great colleagues. I always learn.

I always learn. They're all a little bit different. And as I say, my continued compliments to your

team, because watching the array of clips of Cash Patel bragging about his drinking and talking about his drinking,

don't you think, like, if you're kind of in that political milieu, don't you kind of worry that

maybe I shouldn't say this stuff because maybe it's going to come back and bite me, but

apparently you think, or he wasn't thinking about it. I heard sort of like a shriek when some

of these clips were found from

outside. Because it's like, oh my gosh, look at all the things he said. So we had to share it.

Again, very, very impressive. Cudos to your staff. You have a great night, my friend.

Thank you. You too. Have a good show. All right. $29 billion. That's how much Donald Trump's
