hot mad. you don't want to miss that. i will see you back here tomorrow night. kennedy begins right now. kennedy: absolutely stunning day in the windy city. prosecutors in chicago dropping not one, not two, not 15, all charges against "empire" actor jussie smollett and the whole thing stinks. the chicago mayor and chicago pd are furious, and we may never know the truth about whatever shady deal got jussie off the hook. as you know, smollett claims he was attacked by trump supportering anti-gay racists who beat him up, poured bleach on his clothes and tied a noose around his neck but let him keep his sandwich. two brothers claim they helped smollett pull it off. cops then arrested smollett on 16 felony counts of lying to

investigators. smollett pled not guilty but it still seemed like a pretty much open-and-shut case. and he was looking at some jail time, and then today completely out of left wrigley field, all charges were dropped, and jussie quickly proclaimed his total innocence once again. >> i've been truthful and consistent on every single level since day one. i would not be my mother's son if i was capable of one drop of what i was accused of. this has been an incredibly difficult time. honestly one of the worst of my entire life. but i'm a man of faith and i'm a man that has knowledge of my history, and i would not bring my family, our lives or the movement through a fire like this. i just wouldn't. kennedy: i'm a man who will -- the chief of police, the chief superintendent, the police superintendent and mayor emmanuel absolutely flabbergasted and disgusted by today's turn of events.

watch. >> do i think justice was served? no. i've heard they wanted their day in court with tv cameras so america could know the truth. no, they chose to hide behind secrecy and broker a deal to circumvent the judicial system. >> now this casts a shadow of whether they are telling the truth and did this all in the name of self-promotion. this is a whitewash of justice. a grand jury could not have been clearer. where is the accountability in the system? from top to bottom this is not on the level. at the end of the day, mr. smollett committed this false claim. is there no decency in this man? kennedy: nope. so what in the wide world happened? nobody knows. we may never ever know. even jussie's attorney doesn't know. >> i have no idea what occurred in this case and why it occurred. i can just say that things seemed to spiral somewhat out of control.

the two brothers have said that they attacked him, so, you know, we don't want to try them in the press any more than he wanted to be tried in the press. kennedy: so, you know, now there's that. i don't know. all right. what do we know? there were apparently some very shady background dealings here. the prosecutor says he still thinks jussie lied to investigators. so did jussie get off because he's a celebrity or is there something even more sinister in the works? joining me now criminal defense attorney brian claypool from beautiful los angeles, california. brian, break it down for me. what happened today? >> well, this was a red carpet assassination of the criminal justice system. i mean, did you see that press conference? i thought that his lawyer was going to pass out hors d'oeuvres and appetizers. that's how bad it was. at the end of the day, there was

a grand jury indictment. what that means for your viewers is there's two ways to arrest somebody. through an arrest warrant where law enforcement fills out a form, a judge signs it or there's a grand jury proceeding. there was a trial within a trial where there were mountains of evidence that were brought in front of community members, and he was indicted. this is an abomination to now usurp the criminal justice system and let him off the hook. and we need what you said, which is transparency. how do we not know why he was left off the hook? maybe fox needs to do a freedom of information act, and we can get to the bottom of this and get the police reports, get the video -- they had 55 pieces of video footage. that's evidence. where's that? they had 12 detectives on this case. what did they have to say? does that matter? this is a mockery of the criminal justice system, lisa. kennedy: thank you very much, brian. so let's discuss a little bit

because judge steven g. watkins was the one who sealed the entire case so you ask for transparency, a lot of people are very confused as to what transpired in his courtroom. the mayor of chicago came out defending his police department who did some very good work. they worked very hard. the press had already -- the national press, rather, not the local chicago press because they did a great job of reporting and figuring out what really happened in this case, but, you know, the national press claimed it was an attack. they didn't use the word alleged attack, and they were all in on jussie's story for so long, i don't know where we go from here. and chicago has already had some percentual issues in the way criminal justice is metered out and the way the police department has dealt with various communities in the past. it certainly seems like jussie

smollett could sue if he were wrongly indicted in the first place. >> yeah, there's no question about it. he now has a potential ten figure civil rights lawsuit against the city because a spineless state attorney decided to totally abort the criminal justice system. kennedy: she had recused herself because she had been contacted by michelle obama's former chief of staff; correct? >> yes, exactly. here's another thing, lisa. this is unprecedented. usually there's communication between the state attorney, the mayor, the police chief. look, this is a high-profile case. this isn't a case of me getting arrested in l.a. nobody would care about that, but because of that, there should have been way more transparency. here's something -- kennedy: there's no transparency. i don't understand why the judge threw a led curtain over this entire mockery, brian. >> here's how it stinks because they have now twisted and they said oh the two brothers have

now come out and said they assaulted jussie. kennedy: the brothers are big trump supporters. they love the president so much they wanted to transform chicago into maga country which is tough to do, very liberal place, but one hoax at a time, i guess. >> yeah. check out their social media accounts too. i will bet you there's nothing -- kennedy: i have. >> have you? okay. great, yeah, but i will tell you, these two should have been arrested -- if this was really a true dismissal today, why weren't the two brothers then arrested? kennedy: exactly. they were either lying, obstructing justice or -- >> they lied. right. it's a total farce. kennedy: brian, thank you very much for your time. i appreciate your legal expertise. very good. >> thanks for having me. kennedy: thank you. earlier today on the fox news channel senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano said

that in all his years practicing law and as a judge, he has never seen anything like this. judge, take it away. >> it sounds as if the government is asked to dismiss its own indictment. quite frankly this is almost unheard of. it is either the result of extraordinary lawyering on the part of his lawyers or a realization by the government of some defect in its evidence that it did not know it had at the time it sought and obtained an indictment against him. kennedy: there's so much going on here. now, of course jussie's supporters jumping to his defense. but today the actor never said anything about trying to find the people who jumped in, and he has nothing to say about suing those who claimed he faked the crime. is this thing over and done with or can we expect to see another big twist in this case? maybe a federal arrest. let's go to tonight's panel from free think media, he's back in

action along with comedian and head writer of this show, he is fantastic and to complete, part of the problem pod cast host dave smith the legend is here. welcome everyone. >> good to see you. kennedy: thank you very much. camille, you were an early adapter that jussie smollett was lying. i don't think any of us assumed that the case would end up with all of the charges dropped. >> yeah. kennedy: what are we not supposed to say about this case? >> at this point, i'm not sure. what we should certainly not be saying is we don't really know what happened here. that's not true. we know a few things. kennedy: that means she didn't talk with anyone. she didn't talk down with jussie. for her to say i have no idea -- what a bad lawyer. that's like a doctor, you get a cancer diagnosis, i have no idea. >> yeah. it's especially curious that knowing that these men are the people who attacked jussie, she acknowledging as much in the press conference, there seems to

be no interest whatsoever in going after these people. it's as if i just want to get back to my life. i want to get back to working. i want to proprosecute the -- prosecute the people who assaulted me, as he said, changed him forever. i remember that press conference. he was shaken to his core. but at this point i want to get back to work. let's just move along. kennedy: exactly. who knows what is going to happen here, but the whole thing -- and forfeiting his bond, i don't care how much you make every week on a network drama series, no one's giving up $10,000 for no reason. >> listen, it's shocking because chicago politics has such a squeaky clean reputation, you know, you wouldn't expect this out of a place so upstanding like chicago. i was almost thinking like maybe they didn't want to push him for perpetrating this hoax because if they did they have to get on all the people who pushed the russia hoax and that could just clog the courts, i don't know, but at least oj vowed to go after the real killers, like he

mailed this in so much when he's talking about the person he is, his mother's son is the people behind him can't even keep a straight face. the guy behind him has on a hat and glasses as he was about to jump someone at 4:00 in the morning and leave them with a subway sandwich and the whole thing is embarrassing. from a police stand point, it is so demoralizing to cops who already has the lowest clearance murder rate in the country, chicago is a mess, and they pieced this thrown together and to have this -- pieced this thing together and to have this thing thrown out, it is demoralizing. kennedy: not only did this happen but it is wrong on so many levels, but i think there's something political to the story. i think there's something to the timing and the feeling that oh, you know what the president was exonerated, we're going to exonerate jussie smollett. >> yeah, but if we had a video

like president trump's people at wal-mart buying russian flags or something -- kennedy: it would be a little bit more of a direct -- >> a lot of people are trashing jussie, but if you watch the press conference, the kid can connect. say what you will about him, he's not backing down from it. the thing i think is frustrating to at least half the country is it seems like there are never any type of repercussions for these types of hoaxes. i'm not just talking criminal. i mean anything. you don't lose your job. it looked like this was going to be one time -- when they came down with 16 charges against him, you are like they are going to make an example out of him. kennedy: camille and i talked about this, i didn't think he was going to go to jail. i didn't think he would spend a day or 48 hours or anything like that. i thought he might have to pay a fine and do some community service. >> probation. kennedy: for the cook county state's attorney to say he kind of did some community service and he forfeited his bond so that's pretty much the end of

the story. i mean, is that justice? >> doesn't seem like justice to me, certainly not spending a couple of days hanging out with jesse jackson at the rainbow/push coalition. i don't know i could hire writers to write this story that would give me a narrative like this, and i would think this is fine, this is totally believable. kennedy: this final twist something else. i think this is something else. kamala harris knows jussie smollett, that's the hillary's side. rahm emanuel is on obama side, who is saying everything about this smells. it is a great set-up for a showdown. the panel returns a little bit later. much more, including republicans now calling on democrats to apologize over collusion accusations that didn't pan out in the mueller report. will the left finally move on, or will they continue to beat a dead horse? i will ask mark about that. there he is. our grandparents checked their smartphones

kennedy: man panel is here for back up, don't you worry about a thing. president trump took another victory lap on the mueller report today and now that he's done battling the special counsel, he's retrained his sights on a familiar foe, tweeting, quote, the mainstream media is under fire being scorned all over the world as being corrupt and fake for two years they pushed the russian collusion delusion when they always knew there was no collusion. they truly are the enemy of the people and the real opposition party. but while the president won't forgive the media any time soon, speculation running high that he could pardon several individuals caught up in the mueller probe. among them paul manafort, mike flynn and former campaign aide

george papadopoulos. earlier today on fox news. papadopoulos was asked about that, watch. >> do you think you will get a pardon from president trump? >> i have no idea. i have no expectation for it. my lawyers -- i know my lawyers have formally applied for one, and if i'm granted one, it would be a tremendous honor. >> you already spent 12 days in federal prison which i'm sure was not a picnic. you would like to have that off your record? >> i would, i definitely would. kennedy: i got 12 days. all right. democrats continue to push for the release of the mueller report and there's still talk of impeaching the president because apparently some people don't know how to quit when they're behind. are they still in a position to make any more demands? here with me now the strategic communications director for the trump 2020 campaign is back. welcome back. >> thank you for having me. kennedy: so louisiana senator john kennedy was like hey, man, just move on, you won. now don't be a meat head. i think he used the term meat head which i really appreciate. how should the president handle this? >> i think he's going to call out the media and the democrats

for lying to the american people for two years. let's remember you had people going on mainstream media actually accusing the president of being an operative of russia. they were proven dead wrong, and now they don't even have the temerity to reflect on what they have just don't to the american people, mislead them, and it's really just a shame. i mean, we should call these networks what they are, all about collusion, nothing but collusion. the collusion broadcasting system and the clinton news network. kennedy: let's talk about adam schiff a little bit because he's till still running with -- because he's still running with that narrative. he did not get the barr memo. if he did, he's ignoring it which i think is interesting. it's like the guy who has been the subject of an intervention and drives straight to the bar. should adam schiff step down as chair of the house intelligence committee? >> i don't see how you can continue serving on a committee about intelligence when you've shown such lack of intelligence

over the last two years, using your position and your access to classified information and supposedly misleading people into something that we all know not to be true. you know, whether the voters in his district will hold him accountable is one thing, but his fellow members should say that he's embarrassed the united states congress. he's embarrassed that committee. and the two years of lies to the american people must be held to account. kennedy: he doesn't want to hold anything to account which is interesting, and my advice for democrats especially in the house is if you think you have the president on something, it is always the responsibility of congress to investigate such things, make sure you've got it before you go after it because if democrats go for another round of confirmation bias, they're going to lose not only -- they could lose their majority in the house with some voters, they could also easily erode all of their chances of

gaining back the white house in 2020. and i guess that's what nancy pelosi is weighing. you know, it's a cost benefit analysis. it is really easy to raise money from a base on impeachment e-mails that you send out but the cost could be that you spend all your political capital and you don't have anyone supporting you in 2020 when the impeachment rally falls apart. >> i think that's one of the reasons why the president was elected in 2016 was because he was cutting through all of the political speak of saying one thing and not doing anything when you got to washington, d.c. the american people are tired of being lied to, not just about collusion, but just about the things that people are going to be doing in washington, d.c. he promised to take action, and so i would think at some point, the democrats would see that their best chance of being re-elected is working with this president, try to do things on infrastructure, try to work with him to improve trade deals like the old nafta which democrats

railed against for many many years. but so far they have shown nothing but resistance, and i think when the president is actually on the ballot in 2020, and you have a lot of vulnerable freshman who won the seats that the president carried, they are going to find themselves in a very difficult position to explain a do nothing congress that did nothing but lie to us for two years. kennedy: people are absolutely over it. if it is not identity politics, it is resistance. people want to benefit their own bottom line. democrats aren't offering that right now and nancy pelosi is coming out pretty forcefully saying we have to walk or chew gum, can't do both, and the chewing the gum has got to go. marc lotter, thank you very much. >> thanks. kennedy: coming up, john brennan, clapper and comey have all claimed the president was a russian puppet. the mueller report blew that theory out of the water. will the deep state be held accountable? my memo, that's next. hey mercedes,

kennedy: we should all be rejoicing the mueller report has finally concluded even if it shows that the president never colluded but how did we get here? for years we have been told by secretive power hoarders we need to compromise some of our hot freedom for security. civil libertarians have always known that hogwash claim was stinkier than week old trout jam. we have been warning about compromising liberty in the name of safety. it is the falsest paradigm. when you concentrate on godly resources in the hands of a few devils, all hell is bound to break loose. easy spying is supposed to nab bad guys. what happens when the small of desperate men who head the security state see the future president as the bad guy? how hard would it be to launch

an investigation on the flimsiest pretense as an insurance policy and then leak the right information to the press to launch a special counsel investigation with an unlimited budget, hardly any oversight and the media. sadly it was all too easy. four angry men couldn't contain their contempt for the president and their glee at his downfall. ethics and constitutionality be dammed. former director of national intelligence known congressional perjurierer james clapper was the early adapter as the trump russian narrative. having mastered the art of spying on innocent americans and unmasking personal information, he knows a thing about sneakery. andrew mccabe parroted the trump claim just last month even though he was fired and then lied to his boss james comey who was fired for being a self-serving draft nerd.

he pitted himself against the evil president trump as he implied over and over the president was compromised and needed defeat in an electoral landslide. let me guess, jim, you have your awkward jersey on that under that suit and can sub in as the democratic presidential nominee any time, huh, pal? well the craziest bat in the barn was of course former cia director john brennan whose hatred and vitriol have been limitless as he's called the president a traitor, accused him of treason and seemed very confident in his bad intel that the president and his kids would be arrested as part of mueller's last gasp. none of this has happened. but people are now finally asking how we got here in the first place and hopefully all rational skeptics will conclude that too few people have too much power and when it is easily abused, lives are ruined. just ask these four unemployed who can attest that from their worst laid plans and that's the

memo. yesterday john brennan finally admitted he got a little carried away these past couple of years. john? >> did you receive bad information throughout this process, like so many of us did, that there was more there than ended up in the report regarding collusion? >> well, i don't know if i received bad information, but i think i suspected that there was more than there actually was. kennedy: oh, suspected. so you didn't have information. you are just blabbering on and on like an old machine. what should the punishment be for all of this lying and how can we stop it from happening again? here to discuss former cia analyst and the host of a show, welcome back, buck. >> hey, kennedy. kennedy: brennan is out of his mind. he should be out of a job. he has been so incredibly vitriol, political and dishonest

throughout this whole thing that i don't know how msnbc continues to employ him. >> we expect the people who run places like the cia, the director of national intelligence, the fbi, we expect them to be the sharks of the analys analysis world, not the clown fish. this sutterly ridiculous -- this is utterly ridiculous what we have seen here particularly clapper and brennan who have made themselves house hold names for being the most strident critics of president trump particularly on the issue of collusion. keep in mind it was considered until very recently completely beyond the pale for a recent cia director to politicize his time in the agency in this way to go after a sitting president. this is absolutely nuts. and that brennan is now saying yeah, maybe i got some bad information? he's not like a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who worked for the government. he was a cia director and look mike hayden who i worked from and some of the others out there they weren't much better than this one, kennedy. how did i know there was no

collusion but they at the very top of the entire community were so wrong? well it is because they got caught in the delusion. kennedy: you are absolutely right to point that out. you are absolutely right to point out this is why these people are hired. this is why you tap their brains and their analysis because they've got a deep wealth of reserves, of intimate knowledge, how the world in the intelligence community really works. so if someone who has the deepest concentration of knowledge is telling you that the president is compromised and he's being used by russia, that he's a horrible person, a traitor and treasonous, people believe that. i mean, his words have weight, and at the end, he doesn't really apologize. he just said well, i didn't really have bad information. i just kind of had a hunch. you are not paid to have a hunch. i don't think that everyone needs to be locked up, but he and hilary clinton could go away for a little while. >> kennedy, the president told me once russia collusion this isn't even a good idea.

trump told me this. i was like yeah i know. this doesn't even make sense as a theory. you have to skip to this notion that somehow this facebook ad buys here and there, some sock puppets and hacking into podesta and dnc's accounts turned the election or you could think that could turn the election is actually bonkers. it was never a good idea to begin with and brennan and some of the others on tv, keep in mind, the whole reason cnn and msnbc liked putting them on tv was because there was this idea they must know what they are talking about, they are the former cia director, they weren't the former ten years ago, they were in the case of brennan and clapper, the guys in charge -- kennedy: 2017. >> right before the new administration came into office. kennedy: exactly. >> during the russian collusion fiasco, so it was wildly irresponsible for them to be on television speaking on this issue period, but to speak about it in a way where they are using it to undermine a sitting president? this is just completely unacceptable. honestly, it demeans my former

community. it demeans the work of the people there. kennedy: it makes -- so next time we have the conversation about curtailing the surveillance state, i hope people especially skeptical republicans go back and look at this moment. >> i'm getting so skeptical, i can't even tell you, kennedy. kennedy: that's how wonderful that is. buck, thank you very much. >> good to see you. kennedy: very good. avenatti 2020 is no longer a campaign slogan. and it doesn't look like a release date either. the celebrity ambulance chaser and former resistance media darling facing up to 47 years in prison for an alleged 25 million dollars extortion attempt against nike, just do it. but earlier today he told cbs news he did nothing wrong. >> you were working on behalf of your client but you were also telling nike according to this complaint you either hire me or i'm going to say something. >> legal experts that say i was well within the line as an aggressive attorney. there's many that say that. the fact of the matter is this was not extortion. people make threats all the

time -- >> what was it? >> people make threats all the time in connection with trying to settle a case. [laughter] kennedy: that is so much fun. i'm going to miss him because he's not going to do anymore interviews in jail. avenatti facing an additional 50 years in california. that's in addition to the 47. there's a wire fraud case there. and if that weren't bad enough, stormy daniels hinted on twitter that she has damaging information to share in the near future. so can michael avenatti get out of this mess? or is it time to find a replacement for him in the next sharknado movie? the panel is back. this is really incredible because buck was talking about john brennan and james clapper on cnn and msnbc or the other way around. but michael avenatti got even more air time on the two networks. they decided that this was their guy, that he was the one who was going to bring down the president. >> it really speaks to what a lot of people have called trump

derangement syndrome and how crazy the antimedia trump has gotten in the last couple of years. they looked at this guy, the sleaziest human being on the planet. i'm a libertarian. i don't think extortion should be illegal. i have no problem with it. i think it does more good than bad, but that guy is the creepiest sleaziest human on the planet and msnbc and cnn looked at him and went that's our guy. they were talking about him as this is the guy who can take on trump, and it is -- i mean, it is pretty hilarious to watch this unfold. kennedy: the whole thing, it's just -- you know, the fact that this is the third news story today and this is a big deal. this is a guy that's facing almost 100 years in prison and so many people bought into his story, but we have to remember, it's not just this weird extortion and wire fraud case, it's also stormy daniels and let us not forget a supreme court justice who owes his career to mike avenatti. >> that's where i have a soft spot for him.

he got kavanaugh on to the supreme court basically by accusing him of running a high school keg party rape ring which kind of took -- blew everything else out of the water and discredited the allegation. kennedy: wait till you hear from the other witnesses. if that guy would have said -- >> like we really should stick cnn's nose in this because nobody who knows his case history is surprised by this. the way he ran the kavanaugh thing, i mean, let's not forget, he's gone bankrupt with a law firm. he's extorted -- not extorted but he's withheld payment from other clients in the past. avenatti is dirtier than the countertops from a rally from people standing on them. he lost the stormy daniels vote. kennedy: how do you do that? >> i'm pretty sure after reading his statement to nike his parents will be accused of bribing him into law school because his attempt to extort was -- did you read that? do you think i'm messing around? i'm not messing around bro. is this the a team? i didn't know what to make of

that either. where's the d.a. when you need it? apparently filling in on cnn for michael avenatti. kennedy: look to your right. >> hey! [laughter] >> i will take this in a slightly different direction since everyone is beating the hell out of mr. avenatti already. i will not defend him whatsoever. there is something to be said about the way we got here and how the nexus of all of this, it is the president of the united states and his torrid affair with stormy daniels and the pay-off with cohen and the rogue gallery of scoundrels that he surrounded himself with while he was running for office. had he not fired comey, for example, it is likely there would never have been any sort of special counsel. kennedy: but then james comey would still be the fbi director. >> all of this might have been over a year ago, but it was the most ill-advised -- [inaudible] -- could have done. kennedy: that could be the best fallout from this, otherwise it would have been status quo,

business as usual. >> you are right, but doesn't that like pose some bigger questions about what's going on in this government that basically if the president removes one guy, one unelected deep state bureaucrat who he doesn't like there will be this whole show for two years -- kennedy: it sets into motion. >> the first time comey met trump he presented him with this russian dossier which we know for certain now complete lies with some pretty salacious stuff in there. >> if trump doesn't fire comey, think of all the e-mail poetry we miss out on as a society. he did it for -- kennedy: so many questions. so many questions, you guys. want to thank you all. dave, jimmy and camille, only tuesday, so good. coming up the green new deal went up for a vote today on capitol hill. any guesses on how it went? anyone? jonathan hoenig has the tally. he's next. ♪ ♪ 'cos i know what it means

have a catastrophe in 12 years and yet all these democrats, kennedy, the ones that are running for president on the green new deal today was the day, put up or shut up, they couldn't raise their hand in support of this legislation they all claim to support. kennedy: the funny thing about the green new deal is very little that actually has to do with the environment and the part that does have to do with the environment is so impractical and expensive it would cause more damage than the sun or carbon dioxide ever could. >> oh, yeah, that's the whole thing with the green new deal. this is not pro-environment. it really is anti-man. it is a 70, 80, 90 trillion dollars. at some point you just stop counting. socialists takeover of energy. that's the fuel that powers our modern economy. and it's the byproduct, kennedy, i don't know, you know a lot of millennials, this hysteria, this climate change hysteria that aoc and many leftists really talk

about right now. i have been hearing it for 50 years, this prediction, it was going to be an ice age, starvation, flooding, it all comes down to sacrifice your own well being for nature and the so called public good. kennedy: yes, you know, we have always wondered how much of the economy, how much of gdp are you willing to sacrifice in order to heal the planet and the answer with this is pretty much all of it. what's interesting is there are two time lines here. one is the ending of the earth. that is supposed to happen in a dozen years. but it's interesting because social security actually will be insolvent in 12 years. which one is the real crisis? >> oh, yeah, that's a real issue. aoc part of the green new deal is free jobs, free healthcare so it really is socialism at large, but kennedy, this whole suggestion that somehow the environment is hurting and the environment -- we're all suffering from this dirty

environment. it doesn't bear out in reality. the air and water is cleaner than it ever has been before. kennedy: let's go swimming. jonathan hoenig, we're up against it. you are my hero. thank you very much for being here. >> be well. kennedy: topical storm is next. kennedy: topical storm is next. stay with us. dad! dad!! can you drive me to jessica's house? ♪ at northwestern mutual, this is what our version of financial planning looks like. tomorrow is important, but so is making the most of the house before they're out of the house. spend your life living. find an advisor at northwesternmutual.com. we're finally going on the trip i've been promising.

kennedy: some big news out of the fast-food world, mcdonald's has unveiled the vegan chicken mcnugget that contains zero chicken. this is a big story because now it means they have two types of mcnuggets that aren't made with real chicken. yeah, work on your recipe because this is the topical storm topic number one. let's begin our journey tonight in costa rica where spring has sprung and the racing season is in full swing. the national motorbike championships are always a dogfight, but this year's race was a human fight too. jorge martinez got cut off, but that didn't -- they don't have yelp in costa rica so he wrote a review an old fashioned way he claims there were two drivers working against him the entire race but an investigation turned up no collusion. back to the race. martinez has been suspended for two years. he's vowing to appeal the results. in the meantime he will be sent where everyone goes who can't accept the results, to adam

schiff's office. topic number two, the newest lamborghini costs $280,000. it sounds like a lot, but that's barely enough to bribe your dumb kid to college. besides this baby is so fast it goes from 0 to totalled in 3 seconds. it's an italian phrase that means no -- [inaudible]. the owner was showing off the horsepower at a london car event but he went from fast to furious pretty quick. police say he spun out after he lost control of the wheel which is unfortunate but it is nice to see someone losing control besides rachel maddow. at least this guy didn't cry. no charges were filed in the incident and the driver is said to be doing just fine. he also announced that he's selling a barely used lamborghini in mint condition. according to the ad he only took it out for one spin. topic number three, we head now

to philadelphia where cat rescues are higher than ever. oh, princess mama, there she is. she climbed up a telephone pole which is extra dangerous in philly because eagles fans love knocking down telephone poles. fortunately a verizon worker rescued the wayward princess because he thought she was a dog. he couldn't put her back once he realized it was a dumb cat because that's unethical. last thing he wanted to do was wind up in jail with michael avenatti. such a shame. michael would have been doing great on dancing with the stars. the cat has since been returned to its owner, and to show their appreciation, they let him test-drive their new sports car. for those of you not familiar, that was a sketch from the days when snl was a comedy show. that's fun.

topic number four, a harness has been created that straps to your chest and holds your food while you are watching march madness. even if your team wins you can still be a loser. the hunger harness has a thermal pouch to hold food, drink holder for beer, a mesh pocket for snacks. the company says that wearing one means you won't have to worry about washing dishes. you also won't have to worry about going on any dates. they are selling for $4.99, but they are more synonymous with 4.20 because anyone buying this is clearly stoned. the hunger harness is actually selling quite well in the u.s., but not everybody agrees on it. down in costa rica. yeah, oh, pow, i've got a helmet on. there was some confusion in this video. people saw the punching figure and someone thought alec baldwin took someone's parking spot again. bye, guys. be right back. ♪ limu emu & doug look limu. a civilian buying a new car.

(get-together, especially after ibeing diagnosed last yearto go with my friends to our annual with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. (avo) another tru story with keytruda. (dr. kloecker) i started katy on keytruda and chemotherapy and she's getting results we rarely saw five years ago. (avo) in a clinical trial, significantly more patients lived longer and saw their tumors shrink than on chemotherapy alone. (dr. kloecker) it's changed my approach to treating patients. (avo) keytruda may be used with certain chemotherapies as your first treatment if you have advanced nonsquamous, non-small cell lung cancer and you do not have an abnormal "egfr" or "alk" gene. keytruda helps your immune system fight cancer, but can also cause your immune system to attack healthy parts of your body. this can happen during or after treatment and may be severe and lead to death. see your doctor right away if you have new or worse cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, diarrhea, severe stomach pain or tenderness, nausea or vomiting, rapid heartbeat, increased hunger or thirst, constipation, dizziness or fainting, changes in urine or eyesight, muscle pain or weakness, joint pain, confusion or memory problems, fever, rash,

itching, or flushing. these are not all the possible side effects. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including immune system problems, if you've had an organ transplant, had or plan to have a stem cell transplant, or have lung, breathing, or liver problems. (katy vo) where i am now compared to a year ago, it's a story worth sharing. (avo) living longer is possible. it's tru. keytruda, from merck. with more fda-approved uses for advanced lung cancer than any other immunotherapy.
