Now, it is time for the last word with Lawrence O'Donnell.

Good evening, Lawrence.

Good evening, Alex.

So, we are on to the United States Senate, where things might take a while because of the

fact that amendments are allowed, as you pointed out.

But it's pretty clear that Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell are going to get this thing

through the Senate intact.

They sure are.

It's clear that Tim Cain has a lot of, he's wounded, I think, in many ways, by the way,

the White House put the Mountain Valley pipeline in this deal, but it sounds like the Democrats

believe they need to be the adult in the room and set aside their personal concerns and

ultimately say yes to something they never wanted to be a part of to begin with.

Well, Democrats, of course, have the curse of responsibility.

They are the responsibility party.

The other party is the not serious party, and so Democrats frequently find themselves

casting difficult votes in order to do the larger responsible thing.

To save the U.S. economy.

As Hakeem Jeffree said, team normal versus team extreme.

I think you will see that on a bumper sticker somewhere in Washington, D.C.

Right.

Thank you, Alex.

Have a good show.
