Velshi: “Republican representative Don Bacon of Nebraska joins me now because Don Bacon accepts my invitation to come on this show whenever we ask. And I want to be clear, congressman, first of all, welcome. Good to see you.”

BACON: “Thank you. I hope you had a great independence day. I think we did here in Omaha with my family.”

Velshi: “Congressman. I mean, I’m getting a lot of heat on social media. Whenever I tell people that you’re coming on the show and I think people need to know, you don’t come on because we agree on stuff, you often come on because we don’t agree on stuff. I think we agree on the most important things, and that is we need to preserve democracy. But but the point here is that you are prepared to get in there and tell people why you believe something that in many cases, my viewers will not agree with. Well, we’re.
>> Both Americans.
>> First, and it’s.
>> Hard to disagree.
>> I think it’s.
>> Hard to talk about issues.
>> And I think Republicans.
>> Should get on MSNBC.
>> Or CNN.
>> And try to defend our positions.
>> Or at least listen to the other perspective
