It's the late show, Pancho with Stephen Colvin.

Welcome back, everybody.

Joining me now is an Iraq war veteran and senator from Illinois who has a new book called

Every Day Is A Gift.

Please welcome Senator Tammy Duckworth.

Senator, thanks so much for being here.

Thanks for having me on.

Here on Friday, the Capitol Police lost another officer in an attack, Officer Billy Evans.

I have to imagine that the Capitol Police are still reeling him anyways from the January

6th attack when this attack comes along.

Is there anything that what do you have to say to those police who put their lives

on the line to protect all of you on Capitol Hill who are facing this kind of trauma?

Well, what I say to them is, I've been saying to them since January 6th that I see you.

I know you're hurting and I'm going to do everything I can to get you the resources you

need to do your job.

And I thank them for keeping me safe.

They kept me safe on January 6th and Officer Evans actually works the entrance to the Capitol

Police that I use every day that I go on the Hill.

So he's a familiar face and then we're going to miss him tremendously.

Well, you are a senator, you're a former congresswoman, no stranger to service.

You have a new book called Every Day is a Gift and you write a lot about your 23 years

in the Army.
