MoveOn supports Bernie. Iowa and New Hampshire. Clinton attacks Bernie on financial issues and single payer. GOP donors. US sailors detained. Cenk hosting. MoveOn.org has come out in support of Bernie Sanders. Their focus on Iowa and NH may put it over the top for him in these 1st two primary states. Talk about the endorsements Bernie and Hillary have compiled so far. Jayar talks about the overtly positive reaction to Hillary Clinton in Iowa after news of Bernie’s surge. Clinton’s response to Sanders’ surge is to attack him on his Wall Street stance. Cenk thinks this is a ridiculous tactic. She also went after him on his single payer promises on health care. Rich Republican donors are complaining about the lack of influence they’re having on the campaign with Super PACs after Citizens United gave them the go ahead to buy elections. Many are openly wondering if they’re wasting their money on candidates like Jeb and Scott Walker. 10 U.S. sailors were detained by the Iranian navy after they drifted into Iran’s waters. After one night, they were released back to U.S. military. They were given blankets and fed overnight. Video of VP Biden explaining how the U.S. sailors accidentally drifted into unknown waters and were helped out by the Iranians. Video of one sailor apologizing for the mistake. Video of Tom Cotton claiming that Iran is spitting in our eye with this aggression, especially due to the Iranian deal that was negotiated last year. Video of Louie Gohmert’s disgust with our allowing Iran to help our wayward sailors. Gohmert continued to say we should’ve threatened to take out each and every one of their ships. Ted Cruz said the situation is another illustration of the weakness of Obama. Video of Nancy Pelosi pointing out that the Iran deal is the reason the situation went nowhere and was resolved quickly and easily. A large Iraqi dam is in danger of collapse, which would result in 500K citizens being killed. The workers that are in charge of keeping the badly built dam from failing have been taken off the job. The wall of water that could come as a result would be as large as 80 ft high. After Nikki Haley’s SOTU response that included criticism for Donald Trump’s incendiary rhetoric, crazed Conservatives came after her. Cenk reads Ann Coulter’s litany of angry tweets directed at Haley. Video of Haley confirming that she was talking about Trump. Video of Donald responding by calling her weak on immigration and formerly a beggar for his money. Video of Gov Haley further discussing why such angry talk is detrimental. The authorities in Oregon are offering the armed militia the option to simply leave without consequence. Cenk imagines the reaction the government would have if Black Panthers or street gangs took over a building with guns. A new book out about Conservative donors has parts about the Koch Brothers’ father and how he built a significant part of his wealth from dealings with Stalin and Adolf Hitler.
