In hour two, we hear more of John Stewart's interview with Ben Wikler on the Daily Show before getting into the Big Story: plans to roll back subsidies on the ACA, and John's ensuing rant. We check in with Brittney Merlot for a look at the upcoming and unpredictable weather, before welcoming in Mike McCabe to the studio as we do every Wednesday. Today he's on talking about "What's The Matter With Kansas," and how the landmark book set us on our current course of rural voters 'going against their best interests.'
