The Good, the Bad &the Very, Very Gallionicly Ugly!

Kimberly Guilfoyle. On the September 24 edition of the O'Reilly Factor - a panel apparently taking the side of white supremacists was dragging out tired tropes about interracial violence in America. The panel was pretty appalling by itself - but Kimberly Guilfoyle and Lis Wiehl decided to take everything a step further when they declared that Black Lives Matter is a "hate group." This isn't just absurd - it's completely tone deaf considering that the panel was being held just one night after a group of alleged white supremacists opened fire into a crowd and shot five peaceful Black Lives Matter protestors. The whole discussion of "the decades long problem of black on white violence" is ugly. But the fact that Fox is sowing fear and scaring their viewers into believing that the non-violent black lives matter movement is a "hate group" because they're protesting being killed by police on a near-daily basis?

Politics Panel - White Supremacists Yell “Allahu Akbar!” & Fox Doesn’t Care?

Neil McCabe, One America News Network & Ari Rabin-Havt, -The Agenda/SiriusXM Progress/The Benghazi Hoax & Charles Sauer, The Market Institute all join Thom. The Minneapolis Police Department has arrested 2 men - one white, the other Hispanic - in connection with the shooting of 5 Black Lives Matter protesters recently in Minneapolis. Another suspect is still at large - and while authorities are staying mum about a motive - eyewitnesses who were there. protesting the killing of Jamar Clark say the shooters were white supremacists.

Study - Single Payer Would Save Billions & Lives

Bernie is campaigning on expanding Medicare for all - a position which has helped him earn the endorsement of National Nurses United - but has also made him the target for conservative think tanks who want to dismantle the ACA along with Medicare and Medicaid. Back in September - the Wall Street Journal ran it's provocative hit piece that alleged that Bernie Sanders' plan would cost EIGHTEEN trillion dollars. And then an op-ed in Forbes less than a month later cited the Wall Street Journal's piece and marveled at the FIFTEEN trillion price tag. But where do those numbers come from? The Wall Street Journal's piece offered research from economist Gerald Friedman. There was just one problem - the Wall Street Journal and Forbes cited the research without mentioning Friedman's conclusions. Because the actual findings show that switching to a Medicare-for-All could help businesses and governments save up to 5 trillion dollars over 10 years. Here to explain how medicare-for-all could save money - and lives - is Professor Gerald Friedman - professor of economics at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

Neil McCabe, One America News Network & Ari Rabin-Havt, -The Agenda/SiriusXM Progress/The Benghazi Hoax & Charles Sauer, The Market Institute all join Thom. Trump isn't just ramping up hate for Muslims - he is now turning it on black Americans. At this point it's becoming very clear that this kind of behavior from Trump and his supporters isn't coincidental - it's part of a pattern. And it's part a pattern that played out all-too-dangerously 70 years ago in Italy, France, Germany, and Spain - and ended up engulfing the world in the deadliest war in human history.
