Today, we changed the stories that we were going to cover and the order of everything. We changed the show like 300 times did you say today because new things kept happening all afternoon and into the evening, each of which was more amazing than the things that had come before on this amazing news day. Up to and including jeb bush slow jamming the news with jimmy fallon on the tonight show tonight which has just happened. We actually just got the tape of it. We will have that for you in just a moment. Its mind bending. In addition to that, weve got donald trump announcing he is running for the republican nomination for the president of the United States today. You heard about that, got lots of press today. But did you hear that since donald trump announced, he announced his running mate, who hes running with. And he says he and this running mate, unbeatable combination. They will definitely win. Since he made that announcement today, we have been trying all afternoon and all evening to reach that person, to reach Donald Trumps wouldbe running mate to find out if shes into the the idea. Yes, she. Today is just nuts. Its one of those days that is just nuts. Too much stuff is going on and it is all interesting. Even the stuff thats going on about scott walker is interesting. And scott walker is a politician about whom it is sometimes hard to get viscerally excited. Its nothing against him. He just has this very laid back midwestern manner. Apparently part of him getting ready to run for president was that he started doing classes with a speech coach. Hes trying to be more exciting. Excitement tends to be one of scott walkers challenges. But today, oh, yeah, one of the quirkier things to know about scott walker is that he says that some of the major events in his life have been pegged to milestones in the life of Ronald Reagan. I often joke that i know Ronald Reagans birthday because its my wedding anniversary. But truth be told, she would tell you i know my wedding anniversary because its Ronald Reagans birthday. She would fill you in on that but its the truth. Scott walker and his wife got married on Ronald Reagans birthday. He has the old told reporters that on Ronald Reagans birthday, which is his wedding anniversary with his wife, he told reporter he and his wife go out of their way that day to eat Ronald Reagans favorite foods. Happy anniversary, here is a jelly bean. Not long ago, scott walker spoke at the Ronald Reagan library and it sent a shiver down his spine when he realized not just his wedding anniversary, but another super important day on his life happened on another Ronald Reagan famous day. Already as i anticipated, its going to give me action bit of a sugar, but not only did we share the wedding anniversary with our 20th and his 102nd anniversary of his birth, but as we approach the recall election last year, it dawned on me it hasnt dawned on me right away as they said it. But it dawned on me that june 5th just happened to be the date that president reagan was born into eternal life back in 2004. Scott walker thinks the dkt of Ronald Reagan happened. Now with jeb bush getting in the race for president and scott walker and Chris Christie remaining the two obvious candidates who are running for president and have not yet admitted formally they are running for president , today, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel published this report saying there are three insiders close to scott walker who are leaking to the journal sentinel that scott walker has finally picked the date to announce formally that he is running for president. He had his wedding on the anniversary of Ronald Reagans birth. He is he had his life changing gubernatorial recall election on the anniversary of Ronald Reagans death. And we now know that scott walker will formally announce that he is running for president on jump 13th, this will be the 30th anniversary of the exact day that Ronald Reagan had a benign noncancerous pollip intestine. I know, right . I know. So in terms of who else is going to get in im sorry, jackie. I think i hurt jackie. We dont have a date for Chris Christie. Bobby jindal is getting in next wednesday. We spoke with jim gilmores campaign in waiting today. Jim gilmore, former republican of virginia, very nice guy. His folks told us today that he is still considering a run for the presidency. They sent us this press release showing jim gilmore is making his seventh visit to New Hampshire. Seventh. They can pretty much see the writing on the wall, that theres no chance governor gilmore is going to make it into the top ten candidates and theres no chance hell be allowed into the first telecast nationally hosted debate hosted by fox news. Also bobby jindal has that issue. Hes not going to make the cut to make it into the first debate either. But even with that, even with Rick Santorum maybe not making it in, Rick Santorum, carly fiorina, definitely not making it in. John kasich, probably not going to make it. With all of those people not going to make it into the debate, more likely not going to make it into the debate, it does seem pretty clear that this man will make it into the debate. Donald trump had made noise about running for president in 2000, but he didnt run. He made a lot of noise about running for president in 2012, but he didnt run. Today, though, at the trump tower, he announced that he is actually going to run. I will tell you, i love my life. I have a wonderful family. Theyre saying, dad, youre going to do something thats going to be so tough. All of my life ive heard that a truly successful person, a really, really successful person and even modestly successful cant run for public office. Just cant happen. Yet thats the mindset that you need the make this country great again. So, ladies and gentlemen, i am officially running for president of the United States and we are going to make our country great again. Real estate developer donald trump speak today in new york city. Interestingly, though, when he was going to run for president in 2000 on the reform party ticket, people took that potential candidacy then at least as seriously as theyre taking this candidacy now and around that lead, after that president ial election in 2000, mr. Trump was asked in an interview on the today show back in the fall of 1999, he was asked on the today show whether or not he had a running mate. Running mate. If you decide to go with this, who would be the ideal running mate for donald . Oh, i think oprah would be great. Seriously. I think that probably that would be serious, actually. There are numerous people that would be good running mates. I think you would have five or six people that would be great running mates and i think i could convince them to run. If i decide to do there, i will have a great running mate. When he was going to run for president in 2000, donald trump said the first thing that popped into his head. He wanted Oprah Winfrey to be his running mate. Oprah winfrey at the time said no, she was not interested. Today, now that donald trump is not just flirting with the run but actually running, he apparently still likes the idea of a donald trump Oprah Winfrey ticket. He says they would win easily, actually. Thats a quote. Thats how he puts it. We would win easily, actually. I like oprah. Is that supposed to be a bad thing . No. No, i like oprah. Who are the kind of oprah would be great. I think we would win easily, actually. So we have put in a call to Oprah Winfreys company today to see if they would give us a statement to find out if over the course of these past 16 years, whether or not he has warmed to the idea of being Donald Trumps president ial running mate. Whether she would like to be Vice President to donald trump. So far, we have not heard back from myself winfrey. Im going to be sitting by the phones in the hopes that she is going to call. What if she did call and she said yes. Oprah winfrey, please call. That is awesome. Today has been an amazing day in the news. There were a few bumps today for mr. Trump to watch. They did apparently have to put barkers out on the street in manhattan outside trump tower to lure in passers by in order to fill the room by mr. Trump when he was announcing. Also, mr. Trump chose to play neal youngs song rocking in the free world for his event. Since that is basically a song about the republicans screwing the poor, you can imagine neal young was not all that excited about it becoming the donald trump for president anthem. After that happened at this event today, neal young released a statement saying, quote, Donald Trumps use of rocking in the free world was not authorized. And theres no other thing that im editing out. The first sentence is Donald Trumps use of rockin in the free world was not authorized. And the second is mr. Young is a long time supporter of Bernie Sanders. So endorsement for Bernie Sanders and you cant use my song. Also, the number crunchers at 538. Com took a look at not just the current crop of people running for president in 2016. They actually looked at all major president candidates dating back to 1980. It turns out there are roughly 106 people who have run for president dating back to 198 on, at least people who are major enough candidates that theres publicly available data on their approval and disapproval ratings. In that universe of data, out of all the more than 100 people who have run for president in this modern era, donald trump beats them all. Donald trump has the highest disapproval rating of anybody on that list by quite some distance. And there have been some really unpopular people who have run for president. No offense to my uncle pat, but pat buchanan was really unpopular when he ran in 2000. 43 of people had an unfavorable view of pat buchanan when he ran for reelection. Donald trump is worse than that by 14 points. 57 of republicans have an unfavorable view of donald trump and he is running for the republican nomination for president. Thats a challenge. It should be noted that mr. Trump has not filed his official paperwork to run with the s. E. C. You can check who has filed easily on the fec website. Its fun. Theres a gazillion people running. Now that he lass said hes running out loud, though, and he has 120 days before legally he has to file the paperwork. A lot of people believe even though he made this announcement that hes running and he has staff in iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina and it looks more like hes running like he has in the past, a lot of people believe he will never file the paperwork and mount a official run in part because conceivably, thats the sort of thing that would affect whether hes able to continue to do his reality tv slow appearances. If he rides out the full 120 days from his announcement, though, lets say he goes 119 1 2 days, which is the window he has before he has to file the paperwork and he gets out at the end of that time so he doesnt have to file, within that window, hes still on track to take part in these first republican nationally televised president ial debates. And to be in the second nationally televised president ial debate and depending on when they schedule it, he will be in the third debate. Nobody thinks that is going to put he or Oprah Winfrey into the white house. Even during his announcement today, he was throwing absolute flaming trash at the other republicans in the race. Particularly a bunch of the mainstream substantive candidates who might have a real shot. He started off throwing mud at rick perry specifically because during rick perrys announcement it was hot and rick perry looked sweaty. That is unlike mr. Trump. Its great to be at trump tower. Its great to be in a wonderful city, new york. And its an honor to have everybody here. This is beyond anybodys expectations. Theres been no crowd like this. And i can tell you some of the candidates, they went in, they didnt know the airconditioner didnt work. They sweated like dogs. They didnt know the room was too big because they didnt have anybody there. How are they going to beat isis . I dont think its going to happen. But planning a nationally televised republican president ial debate which doesnt include people like rick perry, maybe, or Rick Santorum or bobby jindal or any of these actual high level politicians, but it does include this guy. Up there on stage with, say, jeb bush and marco rubio. But all of these politicians that im running against now, theyre trying to i mean, you looked at bush, it took him five days to answer the question on iraq. He couldnt answer the question. He didnt know. I said is he intelligence . Then i looked at rubio. He was unable to answer the question. Is iraq is a good thing or a bad thing . He didnt know. How are these people going to lead us . How are we going to go back and make it great again . We cant. They dont have a clue. They cant lead us. They cant. They cant even answer simple questions. It was terrible. Welcome to the republican primary for president of the United States. This is now, for a long time what its going to be like. The republican has just locked themselves in the debate. While at a minimum, one of their debates or two or three if he file webs this guy is going to be on stage. And the guy who came in second to mitt romney in 2012 and a bunch of republican governors of major states will not be there in part because he is there. Its just amazing. But i promise, we do have a Little Something from former Florida Governor jeb bush. Jeb bush announced yesterday. Today was his First Official full day as a candidate. In terms of his announcement, he did not have a big online response to his announcement. Now, the lack of response to him online may be in part because jeb bush doesnt have an Online Presence of any kind. So its hard to know if thats something you can hold against limb in terms of his campaign or if hes another one trying in terms of the web. But dont, jeb bush will be appearing on the tonight slow. We have got our hands on that clip and thats next. Yesterday former Florida Governor jeb bush announced his candidacy for president. Tonight he took his first step in appearing president ial. It involves a late night talk show and a microphone. Thats right after this. Stay with us.

New citracal pearls. Delicious berries and cream. Soft, chewable, calcium plus vitamin d. Only from citracal. All right. Here it is. Tonight on the tonight show with jimmy fallon, jeb bush slow jams the news. I swear. Im looking forward to hitting the campaign trail and discussing the issues that are important to all americans. And having spirited debates with my fellow republicans about how to solve them. You dont want to mess with little jebby. Because when it comes to debating, hes a master. Hes a master debater now that were talking about the issues, where do you stand on immigration . Well, jimmy, were a nation of immigrants and i believe everyone should ever the chance to achieve the American Dream. And to translate that for all your Spanish Speaking viewers [ speaking Foreign Language ]. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold the telefono. I know i just got back from miami, but i didnt think i was interviewing governor pit bull. Jeb bush on the tonight show tonight. Thats real, amazing. Today was jeb bushs first full day as an official candidate for president. He was the 11th candidate to declare yesterday when he made his big announcement in miami. Governor bushs first full day as a candidate was somewhat stepped on by the 12th candidate who entered the race, a man who did to is on in new york city with a splash. Sadly, the American Dream is dead. Running for president on the American Dream is dead ticket, former real estate joining us now, casey hunt who attended Donald Trumps president ial announcement earlier today. Thank you. How was it . Colorful. He gave out prepared remarks and then did not give the prepared remarks. And then blew through every prepared word that there was to blow through. Kept on going. It was trumptacular. His personality, his hair, his flamboyance was on display. I had Chris Matthews on the show last night because i feel like i need help in understanding this. Its like i cant i cant tell if this is politics or if this is just pr from a celebrity. The pr from a celebrity thing that i dont understand, right, because i dont really understand his celebrity. I cant tell if this is real politics. Is there a way to figure that out . I think its a little bit of both. And its a lot of pr. I think donald trump wants to be seen as someone would is a player. He knows in a field where he is the 12th candidate, he cant just talk about running. He has to actually do it. But do i think there is an element of donald trump that appeals to a certain segment. Particularly the republican base. Theres a reason why mitt romney ran donald trump robo calls in michigan. After the announcement, the governor of florida got on the phone with donald trump. There are definitely republican figures he has in his office. A framed front page newspaper that scott walker framed to him, signed and mailed to him after he won his gubernatorial elections. Youre saying the upper echelons of the Republican Party have been feeding him for a long time, making him feel like hes a player so he believes he is. He really is likely going to make it into the debate. He could make it into the debate and he could push off Something Like john kasich, who is the sitting governor of ohio. Or rick perry, lindsey graham. If hes going to be there in the debates, even if he doesnt file, hes be i can still be, debating on his polling in the first and second and maybe even the third debate, do the other candidates have to strategize about that . If, in fact, the media organizations do allow him ive talked to some republicans saying the rnc made a big mistake in feeding these criteria to media organizations precisely because of this issue. Yeah, they are going to have to figure out a way to deal with it. Maybe they decide to collectively ignore him. Im not sure how you strategize around donald trump. Let me ask you about one other thing. This is just one special moment from the announcement today. Well play it and you tell me what this means. Watch. Im using my own money. Im not using the lobbyists, im not using donors. I dont care. Im really rich. Ill show that in a second. If this is a real campaign, a, he can really selffinance if he wants to. He could be sort of his own billionaire, right . We talk about these guys, everybody gets a billionaire. He could be his own. It strikes me that maybe donald trump has the most bones to pick with the new Campaign Finance system because potentially hes on an equal Playing Field with all of these people who havent made as much money. His favorite past time seems to be trashing mitt romney for only having a few hundreds of millions of dollars something of having 9 million in assets. Part of his speech was announcing that hes very, very amazing. Kasie hunt, i dont usually envy you your job. Today, your job was better. Thank you. I love my job. We have lots ahead.

John kerry is fresh out of the hospital after he crashed his bike out of geneva, switzerland, and broke his right femur. Before john kerry, it was Supreme Court justice brier who suffered punctured lungs and broken ribs. Then he crashed his bike again and broke his shoulder in 2013.

Very well known. Osama bin laden, the leader of al qaeda and the number two leader was ayman al zawahiri. When bin laden started sleeping with the fishies, there was no question about who would take over. In 2011, bin laden gets killed. Zawahiri takes over. But that means a job opening, right . They needed a new second in command. The guy with eventually got tapped for that job, second in command for all of al qaeda, running al qaeda central, that guy who got that job was this guy. And today, the u. S. Government announced that they just killed him. There is a 25 million bounty on zawahiris head, just like there was for bin laden. That 25 million bounty still stands. But there was a 10 million bounty on this guys head. I dont know if anybody is going to get paid that 10 million, but according to this video released today from al qaeda and according to the National Security council at the white house, the guy is dead, killed in a u. S. Drone strike in yemen. Now, theres a reason why everybody is calling this the biggest blow against al qaeda since the death of bin laden. This is a really high ranking guy. This is a huge deal, second in command to zawahiri just got killed. Here is the thing. October 28th, 2010, john brennen gets a call about some very suspicious packages that were heading to the United States. Saudi arabias intelligence chief was apparently the man who called him that thursday night in 2010 to tell john brennen that they needed to get on high alert in the United States to find two specific packages that were heading to the u. S. Now, handily, the saudi intelligent chief gave john brennen specific tracking packages and the specific destinations for where they were headed. He said what they needed to look for specifically were printer cart ridges. These printer cart ridges, it turned out, were loaded into laser jet working printers and those were being shipped to the United States. They were addressed to destinations in chicago. Although from the outside they looked like normal printers stuffed with normal printer cart rages, even if you xrayed these packages, they like like normal printers with printer cart rages inside. Those printer cart ridges were powerful bombs. The first package left yemen, that flight landed in dubai where the printer cartridge bombs werent detected. After dubai, it moved on to a u. S. Cargo plane, that plane landed in germany and the cartridge bombs werent detected. The cargo was loaded on to another plane headed for the uk. The uk was the last stop for that plane before it headed to america. That plane was due to stop in philly and go on to chicago. But when that cargo plane arrived in the uk, they caught and it found the bomb because of that tip to john brennen. British police and bomb experts he bo boarded that cargo plane, found the box with that tracking number on it. They opened it up, found the printer. They opened that up and found the cartridge with the bomb. Scotland yard said that bomb was fully operable. If that plane had taken off for the u. S. , that bomb would have blown up midair. The second package, was undetected, but thanks to that tip they caught up to that bomb 17 minutes from exploding when they finally found it. Both bombs were basically completely undetectable had it not been for those tips. Those bombs were made to evade all the explosives, the bomb sniffing dogs, everything. And they werent being detected until think got those tips with the tracking numbers. If it wasnt for that tip to saudi arabia, those bombs would have made their way to the United States and they were big enough and well built enough to take those planes out of the sky. That plot was put together by the al qaeda chapter called al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, al qaeda in yemen, basically. That plot is the closest we have come to a 9 11 style attack on american soil since 9 11. The other time we came close was when this guy got a significant quantity of live explosives on to a u. S. Bound flight in 2010, less than a year before the printer cartridges. Fortunately for us, unfortunately for him, he failed in trying to detonate those explosives, but that plot, too, was al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. Same group. They havent brought a plane down yet, but three times they have successfully smuggled significant quantities on to planes bound for the United States when nobody else has managed anything like that. So here is the thing. The number two guy in al qaeda central, the number two guy to zawahiri, the guy, he was the number two guy in al qaeda central. He was also the leader, the number one guy of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. He was the leader of those groups when they pulled off those bomb plots. For years, the u. S. Officials have judged that group to be the most dangerous in the world. But just like they had to replace bin laden, al qaeda is going to have to replace this guy. Theyre going to have to move up their second in command. Their second in command would be taking over for the guy who just got killed, their new leader is apparently the guy who personally masterminded the printer cartridge plot, which is the plot that was the closest weve ever come to a 9 11 since 9 11. That guy, the one who organized that attack is ascending the ranks. For all the right reasons, right . The man is dead. The man who has moved the most effective as planning post 9 11 large scale attacks against americans on american soil, he just got a big promotion. Joining us now is nbc news Foreign Correspondent ayman. Great to see you. Great to be here. Is that family tree right in terms of the al qaeda hierarchy. Absolutely. There are even more piece necessary that puzzle that we and al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, perhaps you remember other names, central figures in the recruiting and the messaging particularly to westerners from al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. The biggest part of this story is that this is the highest level killing of an al qaeda operative. This is the highest level of the al qaeda hierarchy that the u. S. Has struck since bin laden. One of the things that was surprising to me is that there was this huge u. S. Special forces presence in yemen until march. And then because of the yemeni civil war and everything going on there, all the special operators pulled out and i thought that would mean the drone strikes and all the other counterterrorism strikes would stop. It seems like it hasnt stopped. Not at all. I dont think anyone ever doubted it has the capability to carry out these air strikes. Not only is it operating in libya where they carried out that strike in libya, but they also took out, as we just saw, the leader of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. Theyve recently gone into syria where they dont have any presence on the ground inside syria, but still managed to kill abu sayaeff. The u. S. Has the military capability. The question is does this strategy work in deterring the next generation of Al Qaeda Leaders from coming up. What weve seen is that every time one of these leaders is killed, the next generation is more dangerous, more lethal, much more aggressive in trying to come after the United States and its allies. And you keep cutting off sort of the head of the snake and a new head grows or a different snake pops up somewhere else. I guess the other question, though, operationally, is whether or not it is a surprise that very senior level Al Qaeda Leaders are still vulnerable to this type of American Military action. I mean, one of the things we learned and sort of the bin laden raid is the extreme stuff that they take, especially at the highest levels to avoid being susceptible. This sort of thing, was he more surprised that they were able to nail him . These guys have to communicate. They live in some remote parts of the world where it works to their advantage and their disadvantage. There are remote places in libya and its difficult for them to perhaps be the subject of a raid. But at the same time, they have to communicate with their operatives, with people sending the money and thats where i think the biggest, if you will, leak comes from. But traceability. Traceability, exactly. And the u. S. At this point has been fighting this war for 15 years. Theyve certainly developed an infrastructure of performance within many of these groups, within intelligence agencies within the region. Its easy to kill individuals. Its harder to kill the ideas. And i think the biggest challenge right now is that 15 years later, the idea still exists. Weve killed bin laden. Many people thought that was going to be a massive blow to al qaeda and what we are seeing is al qaeda is thriving in some parts of the world. We did the same thing in iraq, but then we saw the rise of isis. Fascinating. Nbc news Foreign Correspondent ayman moyhedain. Its always good to have you. Ill beg some sleep for you at least.

While some evangelicals while some evangelicals may be bowing down to the inception of the inclusiveness of samesex marriage, or marriage in their churches, we will not back down, nor will we be silent. The leader of the Southern Baptists at their convention today. Talking about the forthcoming ruling from the Supreme Court on samesex marriage. When he said this is a Dietrich Bonhoeffer moment for every pastor in United States, he is referencing the german lutheran pastor that was part of a plot to kill hitler in world war ii. He is saying american pastors will have an assassinate hitler moment if the Supreme Court says gay people can be married. This is reverend ronnie floyd speaking at their convention in columbus, ohio. I want to remind everyone today humbly, the Supreme Court of the United States is not the final authority. As for me, i declare to every today as a minister of the gospel, i will not officiate over any samesex unions or samesex marriage ceremonies. I completely refuse. [ applause ] imagine whos going to be disappointed by that. Who would want him to officiate . More on this ahead. Stay with us. The eclass has 11 intelligent driverassist systems.

Police found her standing on her porch. She was hammered. She was drunk. The Waterloo Police decided to arrest her for public intoxication at her own house, on her own porch. The woman has argued her porch is not a public space and if she was drunk she may have been intoxicated but not publicly intoxicated. She was at her house. The drunk lady on the porch in waterloo, iowa, took her case to the iowa Supreme Court and the Supreme Court has ruled on her case just as if the front stairs of a singlefamily residence are always a public place, it wouldnt be able to sip a mojito or mixed drink of choice unless one first obtained a liquor license. We dont think the legislature intended iowa law to be so heavy handed. She won. The drunk lady on the porch won. You can be drunk on your own porch in waterloo, iowa. And the word mojito finally made it in to a Supreme Court decision. When it comes to the u. S. Supreme court still on mojito watch and nothing so pressing as the cant a girl be drunk on her porch case, but this is supposed to be the end of the Supreme Courts term for june. And there are a ton of cases they havent rule. They have so many cases they have announced instead of releasing rulings on monday, like usual, they will hand down rulings on mondays and thursdays until they are all done. One of the remaining cases is about whether a church in arizona should be able to put up signs on the side of the road like this. Another case about this spider man web blaster toy where you shoot webs out of your wrist like spidey. A boring patent claim on the toy. Hopefully the justices got silly string shooters to play with while they make the decision. And this charming neonazi upset about his sentence. And we are waiting on raisin justice, rulings on all of those cases and a bunch more. They are all due within the next two weeks. In addition to those, we are waiting on the what happened to be some of the highest profile Supreme Court cases in years. The case that may decide whether lethal injection is constitutional, fate of obamacare and whether millions of people Lose Health Insurance in one fail swoop and the gay marriage case which is creating anxiety on both sides of the issue. As a measure of that anxiety, a pledge to resist if the court says states have to recognize samesex marriages. It say we will not honor any decision by the Supreme Court that will force us to violate a clear biblical understanding of marriage. The guy organizing the pledge said he expects the conservatives that sign it will be fined and forced to go to jail for objections to gay people allowed to marry. It has been signed by two republican candidates for president this year, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum. He was not going to run on the antigay stuff this year but oh, well, cant resist. On obamacare, on the death penalty, the marriage case, pending big cases its been pushed so late in the term its the second half of june already. People are going nuts trying to figure out how they will rule on these big cases. As Ruth Bader Ginsburg took part in a public event on saturday night, the Washington Post sent a reporter to the event. They sent a reporter to see how Ruth Bader Ginsburg seemed at the event in case that may offer a clue. Washington post reporter was able to provide this important information. Quote, she seemed in a good mood. What . You guys, she smiled. Ruth Bader Ginsburg seemed happy. Does that mean gay marriage is about to be legal coast to coast . Does that mean millions of people will Keep Health Care or not . She did smile. We really do just have to wait for the justices to release their decisions on the days they choose at the pace they choose. Usually when worldchanging Supreme Court cases are pending or even cases about raisin law and neonazi sentences and church road signs and spiderman patents. When Supreme Court cases are pending and people are counting on the outcomes it is all about mondays. In this case there are so many rulings large and small pending between the end of the month it is not only about mondays but thursdays. So rulings on monday s and thursdays the rest of the month until they are done. We dont know which case will come out on which day but watch this space as usual and maybe twice as often as you otherwise would and call me immediately if you see Clarence Thomas smiling because that might be important news. Now it is time for the last word with lawrence odonnell. Good evening. Clarence thomas doesnt smile and secondly no, he does once in a while. Ruth Bader Ginsburg being happy. She is happy a lot. Can that be a signal. People are so desperate for a signal. They are like in the morning theres dew on the grass, what does that mean. She knows she is read like tea leaves but i think she cant stop it at this point. Well see what happens. Thanks rachel. Hell froze over and now were stuck in the ice with donald trump. The American Dream is dead. Its happened. Im officially running for president of the United States. Donald trump puts his money where his mouth is. Im really rich. The latest entry to the republican race arrived by escalator. Trump was his usual trump self. I will be the greatest jobs president that god ever created. Kind of crazy, entertaining brew of a narcissism, nativism and pure nonsense. I p
