we're looking at lawrence expressway. it's still closed from 280 down to just shy of bollinger, consider that open, takes to you the south side of archbishop mitty high school. the reason we mention that, the closure of lawrence may affect folks headed toward the campus. if it happens overnight, the departments will need some daylight to take some photographs. that may be the case over the next hour or so. we'll track that. the rest of the b drive including the bay bridge toll plaza starting a little build. back to you. >> that could be a busy spot. thanks, mike. >>> for the first time ever, california is losing a congressional seat due to population shifts. it's not alone. new york, pennsylvania, ohio and michigan are also losing a seat. california's loss of representation will be somewhere in the los angeles area, but we won't know where for several months, as the state committee redraws district lines. six other states including arizona, texas and florida are among those gaining one or two seats as we see people leave

>> lawrence: because it's working. i have to applaud the republicans were having some type of fight. god knows they need some type of fight. the facts don't matter and that's sad. we know this is a live. "the washington post" did an extensive analysis on it and god knows they are not republicans, they are leftist. it doesn't matter in this case. i'm reminded of hillary clinton where she is clearly pandering to the audience. they look at her and say, most people would say your pandering. she looks back at her and says, is it working? they're getting away because there pandering. what can republicans do? the only way you beat them is if you win them over. right now the only thing that is working is coming out of the mouths of the people they voted for in the past. if you can't sell liberty, i don't understand why you have it. my advice to republicans, leave the hearing rooms and stop fighting with politicians and when this immunity which they say, you are racist four. >> congresswoman lisa mclean told me last hour, it's

>> it's very tense, lawrence. and it's been getting more so by the minute over the past half hour or so. we've heard repeated warnings from the state police telling the demonstrators who have protested out here that this is now become an unlawful assembly and they must disperse. we have seen a constant volley of projectiles going in both directions over the fence there, over the fence over police headquarters. there are now tonight, unlike last night, a significant national guard presence of what looked like soldiers in combat fatigues. we also see some heavy armored equipment, big trucks. earlier today, we saw a significant number of troops coming and to back up the police here. so far, again, a lot of back and forth. a lot of warnings. the main concern that the police seem to have at this point, one big concern is that there is a fence there where you see those two young linking yellow lights there. there is a fence that guards and blocks a driveway that goes up into the police compound. there is a big armored v

i'm for "the last word with lawrence o'donnell." good evening, lawrence. >> good evening. this historic speech by the president tomorrow night, we'll have to handle both tomorrow night, that's for sure. >> exactly. exactly. thanks, lawrence. >> thank you, rachel. >>> we're one hour away in tonight's curfew in brooklyn center, minnesota. last night, protesters remained on the streets there for hours after the 7:00 p.m. curfew. they're already on the streets tonight. 40 people were arrested last night. tonight, 2,000 national guard troops are there, supporting the small brooklyn center police department, which now has only 47 members after the police chief resigned and officer kim potter submitted her resignation today, two days after she fired a bullet into the chest of 20-year-old daunte wright, killed by that gunshot. officer potter is heard on video saying taser, taser, before firing her gun. then she seemed to realize she had fired a bullet instead of her taser. then she said, holy crap, i shot him. those words appearing as headlines all over the country. her letter of

good evening, lawrence. >> good evening, rachel. ron klain is our first guest tonight on his 100th day in the white house in the hardest job in washington. we'll see how much he has aged in these 100 days. also joining us, rachel, and this is a trivia question that i don't expect maybe anyone to know the answer to at the moment, the very first person who gave ron klain a job in politics. very person to hire ron klain in politics. going to be joining us later in the hour. >> you've booked both ron klain and the person who first hired him in politics pour the same yo' show? >> correct, yes. >> this is your life thing. >> yeah. and both of them have not -- they don't show a sign of age since that 1984 losing campaign that ron klain was involved in. and they've both survived that loss. and gone on to, you know good careers. >> to say the least, man. thank you, lawrence. >> thank you, rachel. >>> well, joe biden is now 100 days into the hardest job of his life, and white house chief of staff ron klain is now 100 days into the hardest job

now it is time for "the last word" with lawrence o'donnel. >> good evening, lawrence. >> there is no drama in the world quite like the return of the verdict. the suspense is always total. there is no polling or hints, they don't give signals. the only indication was the relative speed on the verdict this complex with no questions to the judge at all, certainly gave people like me the belief there is going to be at least one guilty coming out of this, if not all three. but, when that moment comes, there is nothing like it. >> yeah. >> the interesting thing about the coverage of this trial with covid restrictions and the public being stricter in the room so there are cameras there but not been there usual which means business in the courtroom. and presering the anonymity and there is no drama quite like that. i felt like i didn't take a breath for a very long time much. >> yeah, what so fascinating o f what you just said, when you removed all of those visual elements from the trial that we were not allowed to see. never allowed to see jurors and it did not suffer. the flawless radio pl

good evening, lawrence. >> good evening, rachel. and you grew up on the west coast so you have a sense of the kind of distance i'm talking about. imagine yourself in california thinking about harvard college 2,800 miles away, but -- but you're living in a mobile home where the internet doesn't work very often and you're trying to read your college acceptance or rejection e-mails and you can't quite get your internet to work. and then you eventually do and you see your admissions e-mail from harvard college. that's what happened to 17-year-old elizabeth esteban going to join us at the end of this hour because her story is just amazing. she grew up speaking her tribal language, her parents language from mexico. and so it's one of those stories when you see it in real life it's the only way you can believe it. >> lawrence, i will tell you something, a little behind the scenes thing, which is that today when i was talking with my staff and producers about what we were going to do on the show tonight and when we were booking and what sto

>> reporter: lawrence, good evening. we just had to retreat within the last 30 seconds because the security team tells me that rubber bull lets are deployed into the crowd in and around the brooklyn center police station for several hours. i know it's dark but there's several hundred people around the intersection of the brooklyn center police department. just where those lights are in the distance, lawrence, that's where a crowd of at least 100 police officers are and national guardsmen have been advancing for last 15 or 20 minutes or so essentially clearing block by block using tear gas to do so as they've inched the way to our location here. i'm in a parking lot of a strip mall vandalized and looted last night and seeing that happen again and told by several people here that are doing that saying don't turn that camera around on us. you don't want to do that so at this point in time -- oops. excuse us. you can see people are obviously having some issues with the tear gas used here and right now a significant law enfor

we really appreciate it. >> thank you, lawrence. anytime you want me on, i'll be on. >> say thoi gina mccarthy next time you are hanging with her. >> i will give her a text tonight. >> thank you very much. >>> coming up, these words. there are more of us. that's what alexei navalny said today in a written statement from his hospital bed, which could soon be his death bed as he continues his hunger strike. nadya tolokonnikova, a friend of alexei navalny, who was imprisoned herself by vladimir putin, will join us next. and you could save an average fh of four hundred and sixty-seven dollars on your auto insurance.

this political violence, lawrence, is not going anywhere. that is the warning that we see. >> professors, thank you both very much for joining us tonight. the 11th hour with brian williams starts now. >> good evening once again. ali velshi in for brian williams. day 77 of the biden administration and there is breaking news about matt gaetz, the florida congressman now under federal investigation for possible sex trafficking. tonight the "new york times" reveals gaetz was looking to get a blanket pardon from former president trump. in the final weeks of mr. trump's term he privately asked the white house for blanket preselfive pardons for himself

now it's time for the last word lawrence o'donnell. good evening lawrence. good evening rachel and see you in that coverage tomorrow night too. i will be joining the discussion. we have congressman jim clyburn joining us tonight, rachel. to discuss what he expects to hear in that speech tomorrow and we have so much to do in this hour that congressman jim clyburn will get the last word in this hour. because we have so much leading up to that. we have the lead prosecutors from the derek chauvin murder trial joining us, starting off tonight. this is when i get nervous rachel, because i have in awe of these lawyers. in the masterful job they did in court, and so i have been looking forward to this, since every day i was watching them in court actually. >> i will tell you, news meeting with my staff and talking people in the building today, everyone is very excited you've got these lawyers. i haven't heard these prosecutors speak outside the courtroom, other than the immediate aftermath of that historic case. i'm in awe that you've got them and i'm not going to h

now it's time for the last word with lawrence o'donnell. hi, lawrence. >> good evening, nicole. i'm just guessing it's my coal by the sound of your voice because there is absolutely nothing on my monitor right now around thank you for filling in on rachel tonight on a night she needed to take off. >> thank you, lawrence, have a freight show. >> thanks, i'll be watching tomorrow, nicole. thank you. well, today jay nye delivered the most important expert testimony of the trial so far. from dr. martin tobin took the witness stand. >> how long have you been a physician, sir? >> i have been a physician for three months short of 46 years, over 45 years. >> and where did you go to school? >> i went to medical school in dublin, ireland, and i took my degree there. >> not that anybody noticed the accent. but are you from dublin? >> no, i'm not from dublin. i'm from a small village called frankfort in rural ireland. >> 662 people at last count live in the village of fresh? ford in the county of kilkenny where he grew up. its 70 miles west of dublin, where he went to medical school and com

hard to tell which was lawrence car and if anyone was with. her jewel for example, had he rejoined her? impossible to tell from this. >> willie no one can vouch for him because we're all doing our own thing. we were all studying. >> it seemed pretty certain lauren was still alive and well at 10:30 pm. because that's when she sent that strange email her friends found on her computer. >> essentially that she thought someone was trying to break into her house. on a night prior. >> the recipient of that email was the man she intended to move in with, david. now the detectives wondered if they were dealing with a love triangle gone wrong. had david found out about lauren's night with joe? some people react badly to that sort of thing. >> very badly sometimes. >> so down at the station, detectives question david on tape. >> we found a body. we don't know if it's her or not. >> i heard that. that's why my coworker told me on the way down. >> all right. so i need your help. >> you've got it. >> well, somebody knows something. >> david till the detecti

>> well, lawrence, my reaction is we actually do not know much. and that is the problem. the family was shown this 22nd video, we know solely that the suspect slash victim was unarmed. and we're not sure how many shots were fired how many police officers were on the scene. we're not even sure how much video footage was captured. and this is a tremendous problem. in this era where police have lost the benefit of the doubt you would think that police officers, i'm sorry, police departments would err on the side of transparency. and that doesn't seem to be the case here. so this leaves the door open for speculation from the public. and that's not a good thing in this day and age. so unfortunately, we know very little except that this man was unarmed. and when a person is shot by the police, and particularly a person of color, and they are unarmed. in this day and age, the public does deserve some form of information far beyond. we have to wait to complete the investigation. >> but if these accounts are accurate that his hands were on the steering wheel the entire time that h

. >> thank you, lawrence. >> thank you. well, when president joe biden does address the nation wednesday night, in a joint session of congress, he will be the first president of the united states to have two women sitting behind him vice president of the united states, kamala harris and the speaker of the house of representatives nancy pelosi. when the president addresses the nation on wednesday, at the end of the 99th day of his presidency, he will have the approval of a solid majority of americans something that the previous president never had. joe biden is running 13 points ahead of the previous president and the latest nbc poll that shows joe biden's approval rating 13 points higher than the previous presidents approval rating at this exact point four years ago. the trouble for republicans is that the most popular person in their party is the person who lost the presidential election to joe biden. and that means republicans now believe they simply cannot win. republicans believe they cannot win presidential elections i

>> lawrence, my reaction was twofold. first of all you hit the nail right on the head, he was very clear, he was very direct. that is something that we have not seen during the week, to a certain extent, he seemed very clear very direct. that was the first one [inaudible] of his carbon monoxide poisoning. it took us all by surprise. the second purpose he served whether it was intended or not was to i guess, for better or worse, remind the jury what's a credible expert witness looked like. i think that is going to stay with the jury. we had a litany of defense witnesses this weekend as we have discussed, it they did not seem as credible as the witnesses that the prosecution put forward. here, this is the last person that the jury sees, as far as witnesses are concerned. i do believe that people tend to remember the first thing that they saw, heard, and the last. i thought it's very helpful for the prosecution to have mr. tobin come back. >> and the judge has now given the jury and the law is a long weekend, no session tomo

>> lawrence thanks for having me on. i too am sitting here with two shots of moderna, feeling quite good. in my best guess is that i might need a booster next year. we don't know for sure, as doctor fauci said, there's a lot to sort out. the science on this is not clear, but the evidence so far says, that these vaccines have a very strong level of protectionist six months. i would not be surprised if it lasts at least a year. but it is possible that for the first couple of years of this pandemic, we are going to need annual booster shots. i don't know for sure, small chance it will be earlier. but that's my best guess. >> do we already have information about that slope downward that doctor fauci was talking about? >> for example if it's 95% when it's relatively fresh, let's say a month after you've gotten a shot, does that effectiveness, how long does it take for it to slow down to say 90%? >> it doesn't it's not like we lose a little bit of effectiveness every day or every week. what happens is, we have plenty of antibo
