The CNN show averaged 227K viewers in the demo and 629K total.

It was in second place in the demo behind Fox’s Hannity, which had 247K and ahead of MSNBC’s The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell, which had 207K.
Chicagoland was in third place in total viewers, behind Hannity with 1.433M and The Last Word with 816K.
