mehdi hasan needs no introduction, i'll give him one anyway. he's host of "the mehdi hasan show" which immediately preceded this show. jonathan allen is senior political reporter for nbc news digital and the co-author of "lucky: how joe biden barely won the presidency." johnathan, the democrats have had a rough week. they're getting another piece of bad information just within the last hour or so because we've just learned the senate parliamentarian ruled against allowing the democrats to include a pathway to legal status for an estimated 8 million undocumented illegal immigrants in their massive social spending plan, definitely a setback for democrats. does this effectively stop them from passing anything on immigration? >> it's an enormous setback. i think for insiders on capitol hill, its surprising that the parliamentarian would rule that immigration policy changes
