Own new program which will air 6 00 p. M. Weekdays. Well announce the start date eventually. But you can mark your calendar in a rough way if you want. A big breaking news night. So im happy to hear what Rachel Maddow has in store for us. Youre giving us a calendar alert that could exist in the age of digital calendars. Youre telling us to pencil this in in general but i cant give you a start date. Write a macro so at some point that stakicks in and it starts. Thats all i was allowed to say. A very Laurie Approawyerly a tonight i had an a block all set and ready to go. We worked on it this weekend. All this Breaking News Stuff this evening and then this happened this evening and we had all of this crazy stuff happening with the legal teams that are trying to defend or
senator rand paul from kentucky said he wouldnt vote for it because Repealing Obamacare was still too much like obamacare. Whatever. For whatever reasons the two of them said they wouldnt vote it. So we were heading into
gas. laura: was there anyny democrats in the room? no. laura: it wasn t a big bipartisan group, it was republicans and we are seeing the results of essentially a super majority state in this country, which is the way california works. hopefully not for long. laura: how does this play with your electorate? you saw that california berkeley poll that came out, 59% of californians think it s somewhat or very important to do deportation. it s a great issue. i think the democrats are overplaying their hand. i do a town hall every month, i have legal immigrants who come and they are angry. i think the democrats, the they aren t holding town halls. if they were, they would hear from people who say knock it off. laura: you are hurting
