host: let me turn to natalie. natalie: on the impeachment, some of those 30 lawmakers in the districts that trump won they campaigned on working with the president and are the fastest to criticize the president. how should they be talking about impeachment in their districts in a way that resonates with people who may still vote for trump in the fall? i would argue again, if you come from a trump district -- it is not like we leave washington dc and fly home to our districts to talk about impeachment. we talk about it when it is asked of us. we want to talk about our legislative successes. you get back to what i talked about and what matters to people. i know a lot of your viewers know this, we have passed more than 400 pieces of legislation the vast majority of them bipartisan. if i can draw attention to one we passed one of the most momentous pieces of health-care legislation in many years. something that allows medicare for the first time in the history of medicare be able to negotiate the price of prescription

natalie: that's right.o keep in mind is that however slim this is actually her first shot at release. if the judge were to come back and say her case does not meet the double criminality test, then she would be discharged and in theory, she would be able to get on a plane back to china. canada and the u.s. would likely try to appeal the decision. they would have 30 days to do so. but by that point she could be long gone. that said, the chances of that discharge are very slim in canada. if you look at the historical data, out of nearly 800 u.s. extradition requests to canada in the last decade, only eight have been discharged or turned down. that is about a 1% chance. taylor: like your piece says, the shot is about one and 100 and 100 for beating this extradition law. what can we expect next from her, let's say, if this doesn't work? you said this was her first chance at a shot of being free. natalie: that's right. in a later hearing scheduled for this year, she is expected to introduce evidence to buttress
