The Last Word With Lawrence ODonnell

on trump because he can't stand being mocked. >> yeah, he really hates it. but you know what, michael. politico reports that benny thompson the former chair of the january 6th committee, introduced a bill to remove secret service protection for anyone sentenceed to a year or more in jail. saying it would quote, alleviate a conflict between the secret services mission and prison officials tasked with the protection of inmates. i hear you chuckling, so finish the thought. what do you think about that? >> you know i got into this career decades ago. of all the things i thought i would have to think about the idea of you know a fistfight between officers of the secret service and the bureau of prison, at you know, some federal prison some where is not something i had exactly on my bingo card. but you know the other thing and i want to endorse what jennifer said.

that will assure peace and safety for both is to stop the war on gaza and to bring home the hostages and get humanitarian assistance in and that creates the space to think about what a long-term permanent solution is. i think the president does have the responsibility at this point to change the calculus for netanyahu. right now there is no reason for netanyahu to change his behavior. he is getting all this aid. he would not be able to wage this war on gaza without the united states. >> let's talk about the ukraine piece of this specifically and the stakes at this point. politico reporting this week that the intelligence shown to lawmakers last week described by two members who have seen it, built on weeks of reports that have alarmed members of congress. on thursday, cia director william burns warned that barring more u.s. aid in ukraine could lose on the battlefield to the end of 24.

antidote to that is to vote for biden. it is not to vote for trump. so those folks who, i know, are wanting to have their voices heard, being uncommitted, the stark choice ahead of us is if you vote for donald trump, you are enabling netanyahu . if you vote for joe biden, here is someone who is committed. he has said it publicly. he's committed to a two state solution, lasting peace, sovereignty for both israelis and for palestinians. that's what i'm focused on. >> all right, democratic congresswoman becca balint of vermont, thank you so much for your commentary and insights, congresswoman. really appreciate it. >> thank you so much. so it let's continue this conversation now with my saturday night panel. florida republican congressman david jolly and msnbc political analyst eugene daniels, playbook co-author and right house reporter for politico. he is also an msnbc political contributor. it's great to have both of you with us. david, i'll start with you.
