Cenk hosting today. Scott Walker went on CNN to boast his record against Special Interests. Video of him bragging about attacking Unions in Wisconsin and protesters. Video of Walker being challenged about supporting the Koch Bros special interests since they fund his campaign. Electile Dysfunction segment. Donald Trump spoke out against the “joke” that is corporate America and CEOs boardrooms that throw money around to each other. When asked about his idea on how to reform, he simply said it’d be to hire competent people. George Pataki tweeted that he wouldn’t support Trump if he’s nominated, despite the GOP pledge they all signed to corner Trump on the possibility of running on a 3rd Party ticket. Trump responded by clowning Pataki’s poll numbers. The National Immigration Reform Action Fund released an ad that used Ronald Reagan’s welcoming words on immigration vs today’s GOP candidates’ hateful words. Video of the ad. One of the members of the organization is Jeb Bush, Jr. Cenk talks about the weak things Reagan did that Republicans would hate him for today. Article in the Daily Beast written anonymously by a police officer trainee spoke of the biased and negative rhetoric being fed to new cops, focusing on Black LIves Matter protesters and “thugs” that are killing cops left and right. Video of Scott Walker telling CNN that violence against police is Obama’s fault. Video of Walker denying Obama’s words against police violence. Cenk reads cop kill numbers that show this is the 2nd safest year for cops since the late 1800s. A Florida gun shop owner had a special firearm sale on Friday, in honor of 9-11. The promo code was “Muslim.” His plan for peace and comfort is for everyone to have guns and be ready to shoot Muslims if they’re in the mall with suicide bombs. The leader of the Voodoo faith in Haiti has died. Australia has elected yet another Prime Minister, in Michael Turnbull. It will be their 5th PM in 5 years. Their system allows one to be kicked out for a lot of reasons. War erupted in Yemen back in March, and nearby countries like Saudi Arabia have gotten involved based on Shiite vs Houthi battle lines. Many times, citizens that live in Houthi areas are bombed simply for where they live. They call the strikes a mistake and claim that the rebels are cowardly fighting behind civilians. Many of the victims hate America because ammo created by USA and given to an ally like Saudi Arabia is used for the indiscriminate killing of innocent life.
