But when I went to post the second one, it disappeared, and now Jamie Raskin is gone. Lawrence O'Donnell wasn't on tonight, nor was Ali Velshi. I watched it live as well and the host is on one of their new weekend shows. I have no idea why it was removed, Jamie Raskin is always worth watching. Sorry about that.

Is getting strange, other videos won't play sometimes and require a sign in.

They're probably trying to find a way to make us all pay for info.
