I keep saying this but this was an unbelievable day, and earthquake at the Supreme Court that could change the direction of the nation. The retirement of Supreme Court Justice Anthony kennedy, the swing vote. It will have enormous consequences. Gives President Trump the opportunity to reshape the court for decades. We are also going to look at how this dramatically affects the Midterm Election process, but first we begin with democrats racing to the left. Thats the focus of tonights angle. The Democratic Party experienced a seismic shock last night when, in the new york city outer boroughs, a 28yearold political novice defeated a member of the democratic leadership. Alexandria ocasiocortez ended the 20year run of congressman joe crowley who many thought would succeed pelosi is a democratic leader. He raised 3 million in the race. Ocasiocortez about 300,000.

it s not funny. conan is the most tonny in three boxes. seinfeld is speaking this week about the roseanne reboot. what is he saying? remember i told you the story. everybody hailed it, this is great. we all love it. i said she is a loose cannon, a little crazy. abc had to let her go. now seinfeld is saying they shouldn t have done that. they should have recast the role of roseanne connors with another actress. then he added this controversy. i didn t see why it was necessary to fire her. why would you murder someone who is committing suicide? i never saw someone end their entire career with one button push. that was fresh. i think what he was saying it was tongue and cheek was that the audience should have decided what to do with roseanne. maybe give her another chance, i don t know. seinfeld has always been on the outside of comedy. he hates the p.c. culture. he doesn t speak on the college campuses. laura: he said that. we have the bite. i don t know if we have time.
