Ana and Iadarola host TYT. John and Ana talk about the upcoming speech from Obama about his plan for utilizing Executive Order to finally do something about immigration reform. The major networks like ABC, CBS, and Fox will not be carrying Obama’s speech tonight. As the announcement approaches, Conservatives are losing their minds with rhetoric on how badly this will turn out. Video of Tom Coburn claiming that violence and anarchy will break out in the streets is shown. Rep. Michele Bachmann spoke out that Obama is pulling this move to open the borders to more “illiterate and unskilled” immigrants he can have as voters. John outlines the times that Republican Presidents like Reagan and HW Bush utilized Executive Order for Immigration policies. Elizabeth Warren spoke up to the Director of the FHFA, or Federal housing group formed to help families that are victims of foreclosure. She called out the head for not helping the way they were formed to do. It has come out that Democrat Chuck Schumer suggested bringing in moderate Dem Mark Warner to balance out the Liberal nature of Warren when she was receiving a leadership role. Dem Mary Landrieu released a new ad against her runoff opponent Bill Cassidy by calling him Not Cool. Ana doesn’t think the ad is very effective.
