What business announcements does Rachel Maddow share before the main news segment?
My assignment is to find the truth, follow the story, and to bring people with me. Journalism, good storytelling, gives us tools and power. The Assignment with Antonia Hilton, weekends at 1 p.m. Eastern on MSNOW.
Before we jump into the news, three quick things. The first thing is, as Chris just mentioned, there are still some tickets available for our MSNOW event in Texas this weekend. Chris and I will obviously be there along with lots of other folks you know from MSNOW. We're all really, really looking forward to it and we would love to see you there. It's this Saturday in Arlington, Texas, which is right in the heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Again, a few tickets still left. We would love to see you there. You can scan that QR code if you want to get tickets. Second thing, and this is one of these things that you're not going to believe but is real. Tomorrow night, I am a guest judge on a new show called Cocktail Wars on E!
Seriously. 10 o'clock Eastern tomorrow night on E! Cocktail Wars. It is actually a thing. I was a judge. Anyway, that's a thing. That's going to be on your TV tomorrow night. And then here's the last thing. I said there were three points of business. Here's the last one. Right after the midterm elections happen in November, my new book is coming out. It is called Department of Fate. And as of today, as of tonight, we are just for the first time announcing the book tour. So if you want to come out and meet me in person, get a copy of the book, ask me questions about the midterms or about the book or about, you know, cocktails or fishing or whatever, here are some of the book tour dates. First one is Sunday, November 8th.
In D.C., in Washington, D.C., with the great Chris Hayes. That is going to be a ton of fun. Tuesday, November 10th in New York. Wednesday, November 11th in Boston. Thursday, November 12th in Milwaukee. Friday, November 13th in St. Paul, Minnesota. Saturday, November 14th in Boise, Idaho. And then on to San Francisco. That one's with my friend Kara Swisher. That should be great. Then Los Angeles, then Salt Lake City, then Kansas City, Missouri, Long Island, New York. It's like a dozen dates. We've got the full schedule online at matoblog.com. Tickets go on sale basically as of right now. If you want to get tickets, you can use that QR code that we just had up there on the screen. Maybe we can put that back up.
I'd love to see you this fall. Again, that's right after the elections. I hope you can come to one of those events. Again, all the schedule is posted at matoblog.com. You can click through there to get tickets to any of those book tour events. All right. So that is it for the business. That's done. Now let's get to it.
Okay.
Public Law 88-260, Section 11. This is a law of the United States of America. It is not a resolution. It is not a symbolic pronouncement of some kind. It is a law creating a thing, designating a thing by name. Officially, by law, quote, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, designated in this act, shall be the sole national memorial to the late John Fitzgerald Kennedy within the city of Washington and its environs, signed by the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tem of the Senate. That is the federal law that named the Kennedy Center for the Arts in Washington, D.C. It is the text of that law and the signatures of the people who signed it. And here it is printed on a piece of paper taped to the inside of a cardboard box.
Here's the other side of that box. It says JFK, not DJT. These signs were brought to the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. in June to protest what President Trump had been trying to do to this beloved cultural institution. That was June. Here's another one from July. It says, Betrayal with the original signage from outside the building. Site of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The center will belong to every American. Betrayal. This was a month later in August. JFK, not DJT. There's that same sign again and also a new one. It says shame on the Trump board. You have destroyed something precious.
