Harry Reid tells Mehdi that Republicans who accuse him of starting war with the “nuclear option” in 2013 are “absolutely, totally, 100% wrong," adding: "We did lots of good things that were really important for the country. And there is no regret whatsoever that we did that.”

Lindsey Graham used to be independent, Harry Reid tells Mehdi, but "he became a sycophant for Donald Trump, goes golfing with him, and says all these nice things about him. It's hard for me to say this, but I hope that Lindsey loses the race, because he certainly deserves to."

“Nevada, of course, is home to Area 51,” Mehdi says to @SenatorReid. “Are we alone in the universe?” The Nevada native doesn’t answer directly, but he concedes: “We've learned that there are lots of occurrences of unidentified flying phenomena, and we don't know what they are.”
