the hdtv. for the first time in television history, and maybe in my adult life, i am working tonight without collar stays. and i don t have any idea how this collar is going to look by the time we get to 10:30. dan, our director, i just instructed him to stay as far away from the collar as possible. listen, i couldn t tell if you didn t tell me, but talk to me at ten, 10:40, and: 45. i m lucky because jelani cobb, these candidates that might have extra collars. metal collar stays. not the ones you get from the dry cleaners. he says he has metal collar stays. okay. you re in good hands, lawrence. thank you. orange jesus is trying to knock me out of this job again. we now know, thanks to liz cheney s new book, which will be published next week, that republicans in the house of representatives refer to donald trump as orange jesus and follow his every command religiously, even when they know he is lying. we ll hear more about that directly from liz cheney next monday
