The Young Turks: December 10, 2014

John Iadarola, Jimmy, and Steve Oh hosting. Talk about the spending bill that is now being torpedoed with provisions. One of the bigger ones would effectively eliminate campaign spending limits corralled by McCain Feingold. It now would allow $324K to be spent each year, per individual. Another provision would eliminate Obama’s deal that limits the number of coal-burning power plants that ruin the air. Yet another loosens the regulations on bankers that want to be free to use derivatives that helped destroy the economy under Pres Bush. They also added 4 F-35 jets as a handout to the military, spending an extra $435 million for no reason. President Obama was confronted by Jorge Ramos on Fusion over his record of deportations. Video of Obama and Ramos discussing his ability to do everything he wants on immigration when other elected officials stood in the way. Texas Gov Rick Perry gave an interview to the Washington Post and when asked about income inequality, he blew it off by claiming they don't grapple with it in his state, and that the Bible tells us we will always have poor. President Obama also spoke about the torture report, admitting that the CIA was wrong, but he avoided speaking about accountability for specific people involved. Video. Talk about many Conservatives’ defense of torture. The one CIA official who was jailed over the torture report is the man that blew the whistle and exposed the heinous nature of the program. Footnotes of the torture report reveal even more un American activities. Even though many Conservatives are still defending torture, Andrea Tantaros took it to a more asinine level by defending America’s “awesomeness.” Hour 1 Source Articles: Sign up for The Young Turks daily source articles email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/PLlqD Obama says CIA torture report exposed ‘brutal activity,’ won’t criticize Bush administration http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/12/obama-says-cia-torture-report-exposed-brutal-activity-wont-criticize-bush-administration/ Fox’s Andrea Tantaros Dismisses Torture Report Because ‘America Is Awesome’ http://www.mediaite.com/tv/foxs-andrea-tantaros-dismisses-torture-report-because-america-is-awesome/ Major provisions of $1.1 trillion spending bill http://www.bostonherald.com/news_opinion/us_politics/2014/12/major_provisions_of_11_trillion_spending_bill Black Teenager Taken Out Of School, Jailed For Month Without Probable Cause, Lawsuit Says http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/10/criminal-justice-ohio_n_6296880.html Lawmakers Reach Agreement On $1.1 Trillion Spending Bill http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/09/congressional-spending-bill_n_6297970.html Jorge Ramos Confronts Obama for Flip-Flopping on Immigration Action http://www.mediaite.com/tv/jorge-ramos-confronts-obama-for-flip-flopping-on-immigration-action/ Even the Footnotes in the CIA Torture Report Are Disturbing http://www.vocativ.com/usa/us-politics/even-footnotes-cia-torture-report-disturbing/
