The State of Things with Ali Velshi

At a moment when both Trump and the public are reflecting on his administration's direction, Jon is joined by MS NOW's Ali Velshi, host of "Velshi" and co-host of "It's Happening with Velshi and Ruhle." Together, they discuss the economic realities of immigration, explore what it would take to restore a flourishing American middle class, and examine how the media might rebuild public trust in a shifting information landscape. Plus, Jon predicts SOTU and doesn’t let up on Punch the Monkey!
