| 0:00.0 | Now, it is time for the last word with Lawrence O'Donnell. Good evening, Lawrence. |
| 0:04.0 | Good evening, Alex. We're going to be joined tonight by Tennessee State Representative Justin |
| 0:08.1 | Pearson, who, as it happens, is a graduate of Bowdoin College in Maine. And so he has |
