Laura Ingraham shines a spotlight on everyday Americans and examines how their lives are affected by politics at the federal, state and local level. Plus, first, the elite still dont get it. That is the focus of tonights angle. Over the weekend, the libertarianleaning coke network hosted a Rocky Mountain retreatd political leaders. They use the occasion not to amplify and hear the president s policies, but to decry them. 82yearold charles koch has taken the reins of the network. He released this video in advance of the retreat.

I dont think he can be indicted while sitting in office, but well just have to see where this all works out.
