WE HAVE BEEN CLEAR, THE MEDIA, THE ESTABLISHMENT,THE EDITORIALS, EVERYONE IS SAYING BERNIE SHOULD DROP OUT,AND WE GAVE OUR THOUGHTS ABOUT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IN THE NEARFUTURE DURING OUR ELECTION COVERAGE LAST NIGHT, BUT WHAT DOBERNIE SANDERS SUPPORTERS THINK, THOSE WHO WERE ACTUALLY AT THERALLY LAST NIGHT DURING THE CALIFORNIA PRIMARY? JORDAN, ARETRAVELING POLITICAL REPORTER, SPOKE TO SOME. YOU WILL SEE A COUPLE DIFFERENT OPINIONS ON WHAT THEY THINKABOUT BERNIE SANDERS AND HILLARY CLINTON. >>GIVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE A CHOICE BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND ADEMON, THAT IS NOT THE RIGHT CHOICE.  WE SHOULD HAVE SOMEONEWE BELIEVE IN, SOMEONE THAT HAS THE PRINCIPLES AND THELEGISLATION THEY WILL ACTUALLY GIVE WHEN THEY ARE IN OFFICETHAT MEANS SOMETHING TOWARDS THE PEOPLE.  THIS GRASSROOTS MOVEMENTIS SOMETHING THE APPLICABLE ESTABLISHMENT HAS BEEN SCAREDOF, THEY ARE SO SCARED OF US THAT THEY CREATED THIS SYSTEM OFSUPERDELEGATES TO BE ABLE TO STOP SOMETHING LIKE THIS, APOPULIST MOVEMENT.  THEY WILL SEE AT THE CONVENTION THAT WE ARENOT JUST WHINING, WE DON'T NEED TO FALL IN LINE, THAT THESYSTEM IS RIGGED AND WE ARE HERE NOT TO FALL IN LINE BEHINDTHEM, WE ARE HERE TO SHOW THEM THAT THE SYSTEM IS CORRUPTAND WE WANT TROOP LEGAL CHANGE IN THIS COUNTRY. >>IT IS NOT OUR FAULT THAT SHE IS A WEAK CANDIDATE, OR THAT SHEWILL POSSIBLY LOSE TO TRUMP.  THERE IS NO WAY BERNIE LOSES TOTRUMP, IT IS JUST A FACT.  THEY KNOW THAT AS WELL AS THE TWO,BUT THEY DON'T WANT THAT PERSON TO LOSE.  AND I CAN GET THAT BUTTHEY CAN'T BE MAD AT US FOR NOT WANTING TO SUPPORT SOMEBODY WHOIS THE EMBODIMENT OF WHAT WE ARE AGAINST, PRETTY MUCH. >>WHY CAN'T I VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE THAT I FEEL IS THEBEST FOR THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY? WHY DO I HAVE TO SETTLEFOR SOMEBODY JUST TO BEAT ANOTHER EVIL.  YOU HEAR THATWHOLE LESSER OF TWO EVIL THINGS -- I'M TO MAKE SURE MY VOICE ISHEARD, AND FOR ME TO NOT STAND UP FOR WHAT I BELIEVE INCOMPLETELY AND TO JUST GO WITH THE STATUS QUO? I'D BE AHYPOCRITE.  A NONBELIEVER TO SAY THAT.  SO, NO, I DON'T FEEL THATWE ARE GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS.  AVOTE FOR HILLARY IS A VOTE FOR TRUMP, A VOTE FOR BERNIE IS AVOTE FOR A FUTURE.  I'M NOT INTERESTED IN MAKING HISTORY,I'M INTERESTED IN MAKING A FUTURE FOR THIS COUNTRY. >>I LIKE JORDAN REGULATING IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT INTERVIEW. GET OUT OF THE WAY. >>WE ARE DOING IT LIVE. >>NOW THE SUBSTANCE OF IT, ONE, THEY MAKE A SPECTACULARLY ONTHIS POINT THAT UNFORTUNATELY IS NOT MADE OF ON TELEVISION -- WHOIS RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR HILLARY?HILLARY.  THE SECOND GUY WAS SAYING THAT.  IT IS YOUR JOB TOFIGURE OUT HOW TO BE PROGRESSIVE ENOUGH FOR US TO BE EXCITEDABOUT YOU.  AND THE SECOND GUY MADE A GREAT POINT WHERE HESAID, A VOTE FOR HILLARY IS A VOTE AGAINST TRUMP, AND BY THEWAY, IF IT WAS HILLARY VERSUS TRUMP THAT IS WHY I WOULD VOTEFOR HILLARY CLINTON.  BUT A VOTE FOR BERNIE SANDERS IS A VOTE FORIDEAS.  SO IT IS NOT LIKE WE THINK, LIKE, OH MY GOD, BERNIESANDERS AS A HUMAN BEING IS SO -- I'M WITH HIM.  NO, WE LIKE HISPROGRESSIVE IDEAS AND WE KNOW HE WILL CHAMPION THOSE IDEAS, THATIS WHY WE ARE ACTIVELY VOTING FOR HIM.  HILLARY CLINTON COULDEASILY PICK UP THOSE VOTERS -- IT'S NOT EASY GIVEN HER RECORD,TO BE HONEST, BUT SHE COULD IF SHE ALSO PERSUASIVELY CHAMPIONEDTHOSE IDEAS. >>IT WOULDN'T BE DIFFICULT TO DO.  THE ESTABLISHMENT HAS TO GOWITH HER, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO SUPPORT TRUMP, SHE COULD EASILYBE MORE LIBERAL, AND SHE WOULD STILL HAVE ALL THE DONATIONS --THERE WAS AN EDITORIAL I READ, THE MAIN BULK OF IT IS, WE AREALLOWED TO BE EXCITED THAT A WOMAN WILL BE PRESIDENT.  WHICHIS A FINE THESIS, I SUPPOSE.  AND THEY WERE LIKE, OF COURSE SHE ISNOT PERFECT.  SHE HAS HAD TO MAKE COMPROMISES AND STUFF.  FIRST OFALL IT TAKES ALL THE AGENCIES AWAY FROM HER.  SHE DOESN'T MAKECHOICES, SHE IS JUST FORCED TO DO THIS STUFF.  BUT SHE NOW ISSTILL FOR THE DEATH PENALTY.  SHE COULD EASILY SWITCH THAT, THEREIS NO HUGE MONEY BEHIND THAT, THAT IS A PERSONAL POSITION SHEHOLDS.  ON ALL THESE ISSUES, CAMPAIGN FINANCE, SHE COULD DOSOMETHING NOW AND STILL HAVE THE SUPPORT OF EVERY POLITICIAN ANDMOST OF THE BILLIONAIRES IN THE COUNTRY.  SHE IS CHOOSING NOT TO. >>I LOVE THE POINTS OF THOSE SUPPORTERS MADE ONCE JORDANINTERVIEWED THEM.  FOR ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE ESTABLISHMENTPRESS WHO ARE DERISIVELY TALKING ABOUT SANDERS SUPPORTERS, YOUMIGHT WANT TO INTERVIEW THEM.  MAYBE YOU WILL FIND OUT WHATTHEY ACTUALLY THINK.  OR JUST WATCH YOUNG TURKS ON YOUTUBE. >>THAT WOULD CUT INTO THEIR PODIUM WATCH 2016. >>THE EMPTY PODIUM OF DONALD TRUMP, AND NOW SOMETIMES HILLARYCLINTON.  BUT JON'S POINT IS ALSO EXCELLENT.  THERE IS NOWHERE ELSEFOR DEMOCRATS OR EVEN THE ESTABLISHMENT TO GO AT THISPOINT, THAN HILLARY CLINTON.  THAT SHOULD FREE HER UP TO DOANYTHING SHE WANTS.  IF SHE WAS WAITING FOR A CHANCE TO BESECRETLY LIBERAL ALL THIS TIME, AND PEOPLE MAKE THAT ARGUMENT,SHE HAD TO BE PRAGMATIC BUT ONCE SHE BECOMES PRESIDENT SHE WILLDO THE SCOOBY DOO TRICK AND SAY I'M ACTUALLY A LIBERAL.  BUT SHECOULD DO THAT RIGHT NOW.  SHE WOULD GAIN ALL THE SANDERSVOTERS, IT WOULD BE POLITICALLY SAVVY -- THE PEOPLE WHO AREN'TON THE RIGHT OF HER SUPPORTING TRUMP ARE SO FAR TO THE RIGHT OFHER THAT SHE IS NOT GOING TO LOSE ANY OF THOSE PEOPLE. >>BECAUSE IN PAST ELECTIONS THEY WOULD HAVE SAID SHE HAS TOAPPEAL TO THE MIDDLE BECAUSE DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN, THEYCOMPETE FOR PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE, THAT IS THE CLASSICREGULATION.  BUT THAT IS DONE, DONALD TRUMP HAS DRIVEN OFF THECLIFF AND MOST GREEDY CONSERVATIVES HAVE GONE WITHHIM.  SHE NOW NEEDS TO APPEAL TO PROGRESSIVES. >>IF SHE IS A SECRET LIBERAL, PERFECT.  THIS IS THE BEST TIMETO PROVE IT.  IT WILL HELP YOU POLITICALLY, HENCE IT WILL BEPRAGMATIC, THE ARGUMENT THEY LOVE, AND YOU WILL GET TO SHOWYOUR TRUE NATURE, AND REAL PROGRESSIVES MIGHT BE LIKE, YOUKNOW WHAT? ALL RIGHT.  IF SHE IS A REAL LIBERAL LIKE THAT AND SHEWAS PLAYING POLITICS, I DIDN'T LOVE THAT SHE PLAYED POLITICS,BUT OKAY, HERE WE ARE, LET'S GO FOR IT.  BUT WE WILL GET TO FINDOUT, AND MY GUESS IS THAT SHE WON'T TAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY ANDSHE WILL CONTINUE TO DO OLD-SCHOOL POLITICS, AND THECLINTONS LEARNED THAT YOU HAVE TO BE IN THEIR MINDS IN FAVOR OFTHE DEATH PENALTY IN ORDER TO WIN IN AMERICA, BUT THAT WAS ACALCULATION MADE DECADES AGO. >>AND IT WAS PROBABLY STUPID THEN. >>BUT TODAY THAT DOES NOT APPLY ANYMORE AFTER WE HAVE RELEASEDSO MANY PEOPLE FROM DEATH ROW, WE ARE GIVING ONE OF DOZENS OFEXAMPLES WHERE SHE COULD BE MORE PROGRESSIVE, BECAUSE IT TURNSOUT THEY WERE INNOCENT, ETC.  IT WAS AN EASY WAY, I DID IT, I WASFOR THE DEATH PENALTY AND I SAID WE LET DOZENS OF PEOPLE OF DEATHROW BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT THEY ARE INNOCENT, I DON'T WANT TOKILL INNOCENT PEOPLE.  HOW EASY IS THAT 

RAPIST Brock Turner's PATHETIC Letter To Judge Released

BROCK ALLEN TURNER HAD TO WRITE A LETTER TO THE JUDGE RIGHTBEFORE THE JUDGE DECIDED TO GIVE HIM A TINY SENTENCE, AFTERHE WAS CONVICTED OF RAPING AN UNCONSCIOUS GIRL BEHIND ADUMPSTER. NOW, BROCK ALLEN TURNER GOT SIX MONTHS IN JAIL FOR RAPINGSOMEONE, BUT THE CHARACTER LETTER THAT HE SENT TO THEJUDGE BASICALLY DID NOT REALLY TAKE REAL BLAME FOR HISACTIONS IN DOING A RAPE, IN RAPING A WOMAN. IN FACT, IT SEEMED LIKE HE WAS BLAMING ALCOHOL. LET ME REDO PARTS OF THE LETTER. HE SAID, "I WISH I HAD THE ABILITY TO GO BACK IN TIME ANDNEVER PICK UP A DRINK THAT NIGHT, LET ALONE INTERACT WITH[THE VICTIM]. I AM A CHANGED PERSON. AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE I NEVER WANT TO HAVE A DROP OFALCOHOL AGAIN. I NEVER WANT TO ATTEND A SOCIAL GATHERING THAT INVOLVESALCOHOL OR ANY SITUATION WHERE PEOPLE MAKE DECISIONS BASEDON THE SUBSTANCES THAT THEY HAVE CONSUMED. "ON GOING TO STOP THERE, AND JUST NOTE THAT THIS IS THE PARTTHAT EVERY MEDIA OUTLET IS CIRCLING RIGHT NOW, BECAUSETHAT IS THE PART THAT STANDS OUT THE MOST. IT'S SEEMS AS THOUGH HE DOES NOT SEE HIMSELF AS SOMEONE WHOWAS A CONVICTED RAPIST OR A CRIMINAL, HE SEES HIMSELFAS AN INNOCENT INDIVIDUAL WHO JUST HAPPENED TO DRINK TOOMUCH AND AS A RESULT OF THAT DID WHAT HE DID. BUT IT'S NOT THE ALCOHOL, IT'S NOT BECAUSE THE VICTIM GOTDRUNK, IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF COLLEGE CAMPUS CULTURE, ORCOLLEGE PARTY CULTURE, IT IS BECAUSE YOU RAPED SOMEONE,AND YOU HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONSIF YOU GENUINELY WANT PEOPLE TO SEE THAT YOU'RE REMORSEFUL. THERE IS ONE OTHER THING IN THERE THAT BOTHER ME ALITTLE BIT. HE SAID HE SHOULDN'T HAVE DRANK THAT NIGHT, AND AS YOU SAIDLET ALONE INTERACT WITH THE VICTIM. YOU CAN TAKE THAT IN A POSITIVE LIGHT AND SAY, I WISH IHADN'T DONE ANYTHING AGAINST HER ñALTHOUGH INTERACT IS A FUNNY WORD. YOU CAN TAKE THAT IN A NEGATIVE WAY AND LOOK AT IT ASVICTIM BLAMING. IF I HADN'T RUN INTO HER, EVERYTHING WOULD BE FINE. IF I'M THE JUDGE I LOOK AT THIS IN ITS TOTALITY AND GO, BOYTHIS KID STILL DOESN'T GET IT. HE SAYS, OH NO I'M REALLY HURT AND IT'S HURT THE CORE OF WHO IAM AND I CAN'T DRINK ANYMORE. I'M NOT SURE YOU'RE GETTING THE SEVERITY OF WHAT YOU DID TOTHE OTHER PERSON. THERE IS A LOT OF MENTION OF WHAT HE'S FEELING, AND WHATHE'S GOING THROUGH, AND THERE'S VERY LITTLE MENTION OF WHATTHE ACTUAL VICTIM IS GOING THROUGH. I'M GOING TO BE TO THE PART WHERE I THINK HE SOUNDS THEABSOLUTE MOST ñ MOST RESORT ñ MOST REMORSEFUL, AND THEONLY PART IN A LETTER WHERE HE SOUNDS COMPLETELY REMORSEFUL. HE SAYS, "I AM THE SOLE PROPRIETOR OF WHAT HAPPENEDON THE NIGHT THAT THESE PEOPLE'S LIVES WERE CHANGED FOREVER. I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO CHANGE WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT. I CAN NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF FOR IMPOSING TRAUMA OR PAIN ONTHE VICTIM. IT'S DEBILITATED ME TO THINK THAT MY ACTIONS HAVE CAUSEDHER EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL STRESS THAT IS COMPLETELYUNWARRANTED AND UNFAIR. "THAT WAS PROBABLY THE BEST PART OF HIS LETTER, BUT IT IS LONGAND THE REST OF IT TALKS ABOUT HOW HE FEELS ABOUT WHAT HASHAPPENED TO HIM. THAT PART OF THE LETTER IS GREAT, I WISH HE HAD ONLY WROTEñ WRITTEN THAT OTHER PART ñI WISH HE HAD ONLY WRITTEN THAT PART. READ THE OTHER PART. THIS DRIVES ME NUTS. HE SAYS HE'S LOST TWO JOBS SOLELY ON THE REPORTING OFHIS CASE. HE SAYS HE WISHES HE WAS NEVER GOOD AT SWIMMING OR HAVETHE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND STANFORD SO THAT MAYBE THENEWSPAPERS WOULDN'T WANT TO WRITE STORIES ABOUT HIM. BROCK, YOU'RE NOT GETTING IT. YOU'RE NOT UNLUCKY BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO STANFORDAND THAT'S WHY THEY ARE WRITING ABOUT YOU, AND OTHERWISEYOU WOULD GET A VERY LIGHT SENTENCE ANYWAY AND NO ONEWOULD HAVE "BOTHERED YOU" FOR RAPING SOMEONE. NO, YOU'RE SUPER LUCKY FOR GOING TO STANFORD AND HAVINGTHESE PRIVILEGES. IF SOMEONE IN THE INNER-CITY WHO IS 20 YEARS OLD RAPEDSOMEONE BEHIND A DUMPSTER, THEY'RE NOT CALLED A KID,AND THEY SUFFERED TREMENDOUS, SIGNIFICANT CONSEQUENCES. DOESN'T HAVE TO BE INNER-CITY, CAN BE POOR OR MIDDLE-CLASSANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY. THEY HAD AN ACTUAL KID, 16-YEAR-OLD THAT WEREPORTED ABOUT, WAS WRONGLY ACCUSED, HE WAS FACING 41 YEARS. HE SERVED OVER FIVE YEARS WHEN HE DIDN'T EVEN DO IT. NOW WE FIND THIS KID IS GOING TO GET RELEASED IN THEBEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER, HE'S ONLY GOING TO SERVE THREEMONTHS BECAUSE OF GOOD BEHAVIOR. YOU HAVE ALL THE PRIVILEGE IN THE WORLD. BECAUSE YOU WENT TO STANFORD AND YOU ARE GOOD AT SWIMMING,YOU ARE GOING TO GET A SLAP ON THE WRIST FOR RAPE, AND HESTILL THINKS HE'S THE VICTIM. POOR ME, THE MEDIA IS TREATING ME UNFAIRLY. IF IT WASN'T FOR THEM I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN A LIGHTSENTENCE, BECAUSE WHAT?IT'S NOT THAT BIG A DEAL?HE DOESN'T GET IT. IT SEEMS LIKE HE IS CONSIDERED INFALLIBLE BY HIS FAMILYMEMBERS AND THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM. HIS FRIENDS WROTE CHARACTER LETTERS FOR HIM, AND THISBASICALLY HAPPENS BEFORE THE JUDGE SENTENCES YOU. IT'S SUPPOSED TO INFLUENCE THE JUDGE'S SENTENCING. THAT WAY THE SENTENCE FAKES ñ MAKES SENSE. YOU READ THESE CHARACTER LETTERS AND THEY ARE RIDICULOUS,THEY MAKE EXCUSE AFTER EXCUSE FOR HIS BEHAVIOR. 1ST OF ALL, ONE OF HIS FRIENDS, LESLIE RASMUSSEN SAYS, RAPEON CAMPUS ISN'T ALWAYS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE RAPISTS. YEAH, RAPE ON CAMPUS ISN'T ALWAYS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARERAPISTS. IF SOMEONE RAPES, THEY ARE BY DEFINITION A RAPIST. THAT DEFENSE BASICALLY WORKED. THIS IS A REAL RAPE, REAL RAPE IS DONE BY POOR PEOPLE THATARE SCARY, AND THE OTHER, AND YOU DON'T WANT TO MEET THEMIN A DARK ALLEY. BY THE WAY, HE RAPED THEM IN A DARK ALLEY. NOT THIS GOOD UPSTANDING CITIZEN. AND IF HE DOES IT ON CAMPUS HE'S NOT REALLY A RAPIST. AND THE JUDGE WAS LIKE GOOD POINTS, I'LL ONLY GIVE HIMSIX MONTHS, AND IN REALITY I KNOW THAT'S ONLY SIX MONTHSñ THREE MONTHS, BECAUSE I KNOW PRISON WILL BE DIFFICULT. THE JUDGE CAN'T SEE STRAIGHT. I DON'T WANT TO TURN THIS INTO A THING WHERE IF EVERY JUDGEISN'T SUPER TOUGH ON PEOPLE WE ARE GOING TO GET RID OFTHEM, I JUST WANT THE SAME JUSTICE FOR EVERYBODY. I WISH THAT JUDGE WOULD REALIZE THAT PRISON IS GOING TO BE TOUGHON EVERYONE HE SENDS TO PRISON. YOU THINK IT'S NOT GOING TO BE TOUGH ON A MINORITY KID?ON A POOR KID JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE POOR?YOU ARE A JUDGE, EVERYONE YOU SENT TO PRISON IS SEVERELYIMPACTED! IF YOU THINK THAT CENK IS OVERREACTING, LET ME GIVE YOUA STATEMENT BY THE JUDGE AFTER HE READ THE LETTER FROM BROCK. "I TAKE HIM AT HIS WORD THAT SUBJECTIVELY THAT'S HISVERSION OF HIS AT ñ EVENTS. NOT CONVINCED THAT HIS LACK OF COMPLETE ACQUIESCENCE TOTHE VERDICT SHOULD COUNT AGAINST HIM. "IN OTHER CASES, IF YOU DON'T IMMEDIATELY ADMIT GUILTTHEY THROW THE BOOK AT YOU. YOU SHOW NO REMORSE, YOU'VE LEARNED NOTHING FROM THIS,YOU ARE CLEARLY A THREAT TO SOCIETY. MAXIMUM SENTENCE. IN THIS CASE, HE DOESN'T QUITE GET IT AND HE DOESN'T ADMITIT, BUT IS HE REALLY A RAPIST?IT HAPPENED ON CAMPUS. AND I DON'T WANT TO HAVE A SEVERE IMPACT ON THE POOR KID. THERE IS A TWO-TIERED JUSTICE SYSTEM, AND ANYONE WHODENIES IT IS EITHER NAœVE OR IN DENIAL. THIS IS WHAT THE REALITY OF AMERICA IS. IF YOU HAVE CERTAIN PRIVILEGES, IF YOU ARE FROM A CERTAINSOCIOECONOMIC STATUS, OR YOU HAVE A CERTAIN SKILL COLORñ SKIN COLOR, THE ODDS ARE IN YOUR FAVOR. WE TALK ABOUT WHITE PRIVILEGE, THIS IS NOT ALL WHITE PEOPLE'SFAULT THAT THIS IS HAPPENING, THAT WHITE PRIVILEGE EXISTS. YOU'RE NOT NECESSARILY GUILTY OF WHAT THE SYSTEM IS DOING. IT'S JUST MEANS THAT BECAUSE OF CERTAIN BIASES THAT EXIST,CERTAIN PEOPLE GET A BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT THAT OTHER PEOPLEDON'T GET. JUST BE AWARE OF THAT, AND SHOW THE SAME LEVEL OF EMPATHYTO OTHERS AS YOU MIGHT SHOW TO THIS GUY. I THINK HE WAS SHOWN WAY TOO MUCH EMPATHY IN THIS CASE, BUTWHAT DRIVES ME CRAZY ME ñ CRAZY ZOOM ñ WHEN WE SHOW NO EMPATHYTO THE OTHERS AND WE CRUSH THEIR LIVES WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT. ON TOP OF THAT, THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS PRIVILEGE, INTHIS CASE BROCK ALLEN TURNER IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF IT, POUR SALTON EVERYONE ELSE'S WOUNDS BY PRETENDING THEY ARE THE VICTIM. 

Establishment To Bernie: Stop Complaining, Suck It Up

I WANT TO GET INTO THENITTY-GRITTY OF THE ARTICLES AGAINST BERNIE SANDERS JUST TOEXPLAIN FURTHER TO THE ESTABLISHMENT PRESS WHY WE CALLTHEM THE ESTABLISHMENT PRESS, BECAUSE THEY LITERALLY CAN'T SEEIT.  SO WE WANT TO HELP THEM OUT AS A PUBLIC SERVICEANNOUNCEMENT, SO THE BOSTON GLOBE ARTICLE THAT SAYS BERNIESANDERS NEEDS TO FALL IN LINE, HE CALLS THE SANDERS CAMPAIGN,ITS CURRENT STATE OF SELF-PARODY.  AND THIS WASWRITTEN BEFORE LAST NIGHT, IT WAS BEFORE THE ELECTIONS, BEFOREBERNIE SANDERS REFUSED TO GET OUT AFTER THE LAST SET OFVOTING.  CURRENT STATE OF SELF-PARODY? THE GUY RAN A TOUGHCAMPAIGN AGAINST HILLARY CLINTON -- WHAT PART OF THAT WASSELF-PARODY?>>THAT ARTICLE IS THE SELF-PARODY. >>BECAUSE YOU CAN'T STAND HIM, YOU ASSUME THAT, CAN'T EVERYBODYSEE HOW LOATHSOME THIS GUY IS? I CAN'T STAND HIM.  AND HE SAYS, HEHAS POTENTIAL TO DO REAL DAMAGE TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.  OKAY,THAT IS AN OPINION TO HAVE, BUT IT IS A WAY OF SAYING GET OUT,GET OUT, YOU ARE INTOLERABLE.  WHAT MUST BE PROTECTED IS THEDEMOCRATIC PARTY.  AND HE SAYS, HE IS LACERATING CLINTON WITHTHE KIND OF PERSONAL ATTACKS HE ONCE SAID HE WOULD NEVER LODGEDAGAINST HER.  LACERATING CLINTON?>>THEY ATTACKED HIM FOR NOT TALKING ABOUT HER DURINGHIS LAST SPEECH. WHICH IS IT?>>I ASKED HIM WHEN HE WAS ON THE SHOW, WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY THEBANKRUPTCY BILL WHEN ASKED WHAT POSITION SHE HAS CHANGED ON? HESAID I'M NOT RUNNING THE KIND OF CAMPAIGN.  I SAID WHY DON'T YOUTALK ABOUT THE INDICTMENT POSSIBLE AGAINST HER? HE SAIDI'M NOT RUNNING THE CAMPAIGN.  HE REFUSED THE MOST OBVIOUS LINESOF ATTACK.  ON THE OTHER HAND, WE SAW WHAT REAL PERSONAL ATTACKSWERE THE MINUTE TRUMP TURNED HIS ATTENTION TO HILLARY.  MONICALEWINSKY, ETC.  BERNIE SANDERS WAS NOT WITHIN MILES.  HIS MAINCONCERN OF HER WAS SHE'S PART OF THE CORRUPT SYSTEM WHERE YOUTAKE DOLLARS AND THEN YOU DO WHAT THE MILLIONAIRES TOLD YOUTO DO.  THAT IS NOT LACERATING HER PERSONALLY, IT'S MORE OF ACRITICISM OF THE SYSTEM THAN OF HILLARY CLINTON.  IF YOU CAN'TSAY THAT, WHY ARE YOU RUNNING THE CAMPAIGN? WHAT IS HESUPPOSED TO DO? THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE COUNTRY BUT ICAN'T TELL YOU WHAT IT IS BECAUSE IT MIGHT SEEM PERSONALAGAINST HILLARY CLINTON? THAT IS PREPOSTEROUS.  THEN WE GO TO THENEW YORK TIMES, HILLARY MADE HISTORY BUT BERNIE STUBBORNLYIGNORED IT.  IN THAT ARTICLE THEY SAY THAT WHEN HE SAYS OUR VISIONWILL BE THE FUTURE OF AMERICA -- OKAY, THAT IS ALMOST A STANDARDPOLITICAL LINE, I DON'T WANT TO GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR THAT, MOSTEVERY POLITICIAN DOES THAT.  BILL CLINTON AND AL GORE SAID IT WHENTHEY SAID THEY WILL BUILD A BRIDGE TO THE 21ST CENTURY. PEOPLE NORMALLY GO, THAT IS GREAT, OUR VISION WILL BE THEFUTURE OF AMERICA, AND NO ONE CAN MAKE THAT ARGUMENT BETTERTHAN BERNIE BECAUSE HE HAS AN OVERWHELMINGLY HIGH PERCENTAGEOF THE YOUNG VOTE, THE FUTURE OF AMERICA.  THEY CALLED ITMESSIANIC.  LIKE, YOU THINK YOU ARE A MESSIAH, BECAUSE YOURVISION OF THE FUTURE IS -- EVERY POLITICIAN TALKS ABOUTTHEIR VISION OF THE FUTURE, WHEN IT IS AN ESTABLISHMENTPOLITICIAN YOU APPLAUD WILDLY.  BUT WHEN IT IS BERNIE SANDERS,MESSIANIC? DO YOU SEE WHAT WE ARE SAYING ABOUT YOUR BIAS THATYOU ARE NOT EVEN AWARE OF? YOU TAKE SOMETHING THAT IS BENIGN ORNEUTRAL AND YOU TWIST IT AGAINST HIM, AND THEN YOU SAY, WHATBIAS? WE ARE PERFECTLY FAIR.  THAT IS THE NEW YORK TIMES. MORE, THEY SAY THERE WAS ANGER AT MRS.  CLINTON AND THEASSESSMENT SHE EXEMPLIFIES, AND IN HIS RALLY LAST NIGHT INSANTA MONICA IT WAS VISCERAL AND ABUNDANT.  YES, THERE IS ANGER ATTHE SYSTEM BUT YOU ARE PAINTING IT LIKE IT IS ANGER AT HERPERSONALLY.  NO, IT IS ANGER THAT THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS CORRUPT,THAT IT IS AWASH IN PRIVATE INTERESTS, THE MILLIONS OFDOLLARS THAT THEN LEAD TO EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT INSTEADOF WHAT THE VOTERS WANT.  WE SHOULD BE ANGRY ABOUT THAT.  ANDAGAIN, THAT GOES TO THE HEART OF YOUR BIAS THAT YOU DON'T REALIZE-- IF YOU THINK WE SHOULD NOT BE ANGRY ABOUT THAT CORRUPTION,THAT WE SHOULD JUST TAKE IT LYING DOWN, LIKE, I'M CALM, ALLMY REPRESENTATIVES NOW DON'T REPRESENT ME, THEY REPRESENTTHEIR DONORS.  PRINCETON, NORTHWESTERN, EVERYONE HASPROVEN THAT OUT FOR DECADE AFTER DECADE, BUT I SHOULD BE CALMABOUT IT.  YOU CAN HAVE FUN WITH YOUR CUTE LITTLE REVOLUTION BUTDON'T BE ANGRY ABOUT IT.  A REVOLUTION SHOULD BE WITHTEACUPS AND SCONES AND SHOULD BE CALM AND POLITE, AND DONE WITHKERCHIEFS. IT'S NOT ENOUGH THAT THE ESTABLISHMENT TREMBLES YOU,YOU NEED TO LAY DOWN AND PUT YOUR HEAD UNDER THEIR BOOTS. >>YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO TAKE IT.  AND THAT WILL BE OUR LASTQUOTE, FROM HOWARD DEAN.  WE WILL NOT TAKE IT.  THAT DOESN'T MEANPHYSICAL -- THESE TOTALLY MADE UP CHARGES OF VIOLENCE FROM THEMOST LIBERAL, MOST NONVIOLENT SENATOR IN U. S.  HISTORY, ATLEAST IN MY LIFETIME, I SHOULD BE CLEAR.  YOU'VE GOT ALL THAT. BUT WE WILL BE LOUD, AND IF THAT ANNOYS YOU, SORRY.  AND THEN WEGO TO ANOTHER ARTICLE FROM THE GUARDIAN.  EVEN THE GUARDIAN. THEY SAY, AND YOU CAN TELL THIS WHOLE ARTICLE WAS DERISIVE INEVERY WAY, HE SAYS, NEAR THE END, SANDERS HAS FOUGHT AREMARKABLE AND INSPIRING CAMPAIGN -- THAT'S NOT HOW YOUPAINTED IT EARLIER, EARLIER YOU TALKED ABOUT HOW IT'S USELESSAND FUTILE AND WHY IS HE DOING IT, WHAT IS THE POINT, NOW THATTHEY WANT HIM TO DROP OUT, A PAT ON THE HEAD.  YOU'VE BEENREMARKABLE AND INSPIRING, NOW RUN ALONG.  THE VERY NEXTSENTENCE IS, HE NOW RISKS TAINTING IT. >>WE WOULDN'T WANT IT TAINTED. >>LIGHT, BE A GOOD BOY AND RUN ALONG.  YOU HAD FUN WITH YOURINSPIRING CAMPAIGN, BUT WE WILL PUNISH YOU IF YOU KEEP GOING,AND WE WILL RUIN YOUR REPUTATION.  FINALLY, WE GET TOHOWARD DEAN'S QUOTE IN YET ANOTHER MAINSTREAM OUTLET, ANDTHEY TALKED TO HIM ABOUT, HOWARD, YOU KNEW WHEN TO BE AGOOD BOY.  IN 2000 FOR YOU KNEW WHEN YOU WERE BEATEN.  AND HEGIVES PLENTIFUL QUOTES ABOUT THAT NOW THAT HE IS A LOBBYIST. YES, YOU SHOULD KNOW WHEN YOU ARE BEATEN.  AND THE FINAL QUOTEIS, YOU DON'T GET ANY POINTS FOR CARRYING ON OR COMPLAINING ABOUTTHAT YOU LOST, YOU GET POINTS FOR SUCKING IT UP. >>THAT IS TRUE. >>THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT.  YOU DON'T GET POINTS.  HOWARD, YOUGET DOLLARS.  I GET IT, WHEN YOU SUCKED IT UP YOU WOUND UP BEINGA HIGH PAID LOBBYIST AND RESPECTED COMMENTATOR ONTELEVISION, BECAUSE YOU FELL IN LINE AND YOU SUCKED IT UP.  WHENBERNIE SANDERS DOESN'T DO THAT, HE EMBARRASSES THE REST OF YOU,BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT YOU COULD HAVE HAD PRINCIPLES, AND YOUCOULD HAVE STUCK TO THEM.  BUT SINCE YOU DIDN'T, SANDERS GRATESON YOUR EVERY NERVE.  WHY DOES HE CONTINUE TO CARRY ON ABOUTTRYING TO FIX THIS SYSTEM? WHY DOESN'T HE FALL IN LINE AND SUCKIT UP? WELL, IF THAT BOTHERS YOU, YOU MIGHT BE IN THEESTABLISHMENT. 

Koch Brothers Sic Morning Joe On Trump

RECENTLY DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN GETTING TREMENDOUS FLAKFROM CONSERVATIVE COMMENTATORS AND REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS. BEFORE IT WAS A LIGHT SPANKING, THEY WOULD JUST SAY HE IS SAYINGTHINGS THAT ARE OUT OF LEFT FIELD, EVEN IN REFERENCE TO THATSAME COMMENT ABOUT THE JUDGE THAT RULED AGAINST HIM IN TRUMPUNIVERSITY WHEN HE SAID HE WAS MEXICAN WHEN IN FACT OF COURSEHE IS AMERICAN. AND THEY IMMEDIATELY STARTED RESIZING HIM. IN FACT, EARLIER THIS WEEK I DID A SEGMENT ON IT, AND I ASKEDSOMETHING AT THE END OF IT WHICH I NOW MIGHT BE ABLE TO ANSWER. LET'S WATCH THAT CLIP. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE CAMELS BACK BROKE ON THAT ONE, I'M GLADIT DID.  USE OF MAINSTREAM REPORTERS AND CONSERVATIVEMEMBERS OF THE PRESS AND THE PUBLIC AND PARTY OFFICIALS, ANDYOU SAW FORMER HUGE SUPPORTERS, JOE SCARBOROUGH, NEWT GINGRICH. CALLING IMMIGRANTS RAPISTS AND CRIMINALS, SAYING HE WILL BANALL MUSLIMS, DOESN'T CARE IF THEY ARE RADICAL ORFUNDAMENTALIST, RELIGIOUS, NOT RELIGIOUS, BAN 1. 6 BILLIONPEOPLE, THE LIST GOES ON.  BUT ON THIS ONE THEY ARE WORKINGEVERYBODY, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, VOIL¿, THE ENTIRE COUNTRY AGREESHE IS RACIST. IT IS INTERESTING TIMING, BUT I WILL TAKE IT, IT IS TRUE. I WAS WONDERING WHY WAS THIS COMMENT ABOUT THE MEXICAN JUDGETHE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK? IT SEEMED CURIOUS.  I THINKI NOW HAVE THE ANSWER AND I SUSPECTED OF COURSE IT DOESN'THAVE TO DO WITH THAT COMMENT, IT HAS TO DO WITH OTHER FORCES.  THEREASON I TELL YOU THAT IS BECAUSE AS I'VE BEEN COVERINGPOLITICS FOR 20 YEARS, HERE IS THE ONE, IN THESE DAYS THE ONLY,THING THAT MOST REPUBLICANS, THEIR DONORS.  THE DONORS AT SOMEPOINT VERY RECENTLY DECIDED, WE ARE NOT BUYING THIS DONALD TRUMPGUY, SO IT IS OKAY, RELEASE THE HOUNDS.  AND TODAY WE HAVE ANARTICLE IN USA TODAY THAT MIGHT GIVE US SOME INDICATION OF WHOIS PULLING THOSE STRINGS.  FIRST, THEY START WITH AN EXPLANATIONOF WHAT DONALD TRUMP PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT ABOUT CHARLES KOCH ANDTHE KOCH BROTHERS AND THE MONEY THEY HAD BEEN GIVING TO HISCOMPETITORS AT THE TIME IN THE PRIMARIES, HE TWEETED OUT BACKTHEN --NOW, TODAY WE FIND OUT --IN OTHER WORDS, TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN IS TRAVELING TO THEKOCH BROTHERS TO BEG FOR MONEY, AND PERHAPS MERCY.  BECAUSE THEYARE THE ONES CALLING THE SHOTS BEHIND-THE-SCENES, AND WHEN THEYSAY ATTACK TRUMP, TRUMP GETS ATTACKED.  IF THEY SAY LAYOFF OFTRUMP, MY GUESS IS THEY WILL LAY OFF OF TRUMP. NOW WE WILL TURN TO CHARLES KOCH TO FIND OUT IF HE REALLYHAS BEEN AGAINST TRUMP RECENTLY.  HE SAYS --IN OTHER WORDS, DONALD TRUMP, [BUFFERING]AT THE END I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT CHARLES KOCH'S REALPRIORITIES ARE, BUT THIS IS HIM SAYING OKAY, WE WILL USE THIS ASAN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE YOU HEEL, DONALD TRUMP.  AND HOW DOES HE DOTHAT? HE UNLEASHES HIS ATTACK DOGS, NOT ONLY THE REPUBLICANPOLITICIANS HE HAS BOUGHT, AND EARLIER IN THE WEEK WE LISTEDALL THOSE FOR YOU, AND SHOWED YOU VIDEO OF ALL OF THEM SAYINGTHAT DONALD TRUMP WAS NOW ACTING -- THAT HIS COMMENTS WERETEXTBOOK RACISM ACCORDING TO PAUL RYAN, ALSO TAKING HUGEAMOUNTS OF MONEY FROM THE KOCH BROTHERS.  NOW WE GO TO HISATTACK DOGS IN THE PRESS, NAMELY JOE SCARBOROUGH.  SCARBOROUGH HASBEEN HITTING HIM DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY, EARLIER HE SAID THISIS THE TYPE OF THING THAT NAZIS DO.  WOW.  TODAY HE DID IT AGAIN,WATCH. IF THEY EMBRACE A RACIST TO HILLARY, THEY LOSE TO HILLARYAND THEY LOSE THE PARTY. THEY MUST HATE HER THAT MUCH. LISTEN TO ME GUYS, YOU EMBRACE A GUY MAKING RACIST COMMENTS --WHY DO YOU HAVE TO SAY THIS?BECAUSE THEY ARE STUPID.  LOSE THE PRESIDENCY.  AND THEN YOULOSE THE SENATE AND YOU LOSE THE HOUSE, AND THEN WE SMALLGOVERNMENT CONSERVATIVES, WE ARE SCREWED BECAUSE YOU HAVEDESTROYED OUR PARTY BECAUSE YOU ARE RUNNING SCARED.  STOP RUNNINGSCARED.  YOU GOT TO STAND UP TO DONALD TRUMP AND SAY, PROVED TOUS THAT YOU DESERVE OUR SUPPORT.  AND WHEN YOU DO THAT, THEN MAYBEWE WILL CONSIDER GIVING YOU OUR ENDORSEMENT BACK, BUT RIGHT NOW,WILLIE, THEY ARE RUNNING SCARED AND DONALD SMELLS IT SO WE CANSAY WHATEVER THE HELL HE WANTS TO SAY.  AND HE SEES THEM AS WEAKCOWARDS UNLESS THEY START STANDING UP TO HIM RIGHT NOW ANDTHEY TAKE THEIR PARTY BACK. DONALD TRUMP NEEDS THEM MORE THAN 80 DONALD TRUMP. NOW HE IS YELLING AT THE REST OF THE REPUBLICANS, MAKE SUREYOU CALL DONALD TRUMP RACIST. I COULD KEEP GOING ALL NIGHT LONG, I WILL GIVE YOU ONEMORE SCARBOROUGH CLIP AGAINST TRUMP. HOW DO YOU ENDORSE, PAUL RYAN, A MAN THAT SUPPORTS THE BANNINGOF 1. 4 BILLION MUSLIMS FROM EVER ENTERING THE UNITED STATES OFAMERICA? YOU MAKE THEM BACK DOWN, THAT IS WHAT I WAS HOPING,THAT PERHAPS WE COULD PUT PRESSURE ON HIM TO BACK DOWN ANDCHANGE THAT POLICY.  INSTEAD, AL, HE HAS DOUBLE DOWN, AND NOW ITIS PEOPLE WHO HAVE WHAT, 1/16 MEXICAN BLOOD, MAYBE YOU CAN'TBE A JUDGE?WHAT YEAR IS THIS?IT'S AMAZING. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE, HE IS GETTING WORSE. I'VE LITERALLY GOT HALF A DOZEN OF THOSE CLIPS FROM THISWEEK ALONE WHERE JOE SCARBOROUGH IS GOING BALLISTIC ON TRUMP.  ANDBY THE WAY, WHEN TRUMP FIRST PROPOSED A MUSLIM MAN, IT IS NOTLIKE SCARBOROUGH WENT BALLISTIC THEN.  HE DECIDED TO GO BALLISTICTODAY, WHICH IS INTERESTING.  SO WHO IS PULLING THE STRINGS ONSCARBOROUGH? IN THE PAST WE HAVE REPORTED THAT SCARBOROUGH ANDMIKA HAVE GONE TO KOCH GATHERINGS AND BEEN TREATED VERYWELL THERE AND HAVE COME BACK RAVING ABOUT THE KOCH BROTHERS,THEY DID AN INTERVIEW WITH CHARLES KOCH WHICH WAS -- IF YOUTHOUGHT THERE INTERVIEWS WITH TRUMP WERE SOFTBALLS, GET A LOADOF THEIR INTERVIEW WITH KOCH.  DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT,LISTEN TO SOME OF THE THINGS SCARBOROUGH SAID ON THE AIRABOUT HIS LOVE FOR THE KOCH BROTHERS. IF SOMEBODY THINKS THAT A VOTER IN RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINATHAT IS OUT OF WORK GIVES A DAMN ABOUT WHO IS FINANCING 30 SECONDADS, THEY ARE TOO STUPID TO BE IN POLITICS. CALLING THESE TWO BROTHERS UN-AMERICAN, THERE ARE A LOT OFLIBERALS IN NEW YORK CITY WHO WOULD DISAGREE.  THERE ARE A LOTOF LIBERALS IN NEW YORK CITY THAT APPRECIATE WHAT THEY HAVEDONE ON CANCER RESEARCH AND APPRECIATE WHAT THEY HAVE DONEWITH THE LINCOLN CENTER, WHAT THEY HAVE DONE WITH THE ARTS. IT IS PRETTY REMARKABLE. THERE AREN'T MANY MUSEUMS OR CONCERT HALLS YOU CAN WALKINTO IN MANHATTAN THAT DON'T HAVE THEIR NAMES ON THESIDE THAT BANQUETS OR HOSPITALS. CANCER RESEARCH, ETC. TO YOU ASSOCIATE YOURSELF WITH HARRY REID'S REMARKS THAT THISMAN IS UN-AMERICAN? I'M TALKING ABOUT THE WORD UN-AMERICAN,SENATOR.  YOU THINK DAVID KOCH IS UN-AMERICAN?I'M ASKING A SIMPLE QUESTION HERE. I KNOW, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO GET INTO IT. TO YOU THINK DAVID KOCH IS UN-AMERICAN OR SHOULD HARRYREID APOLOGIZE?WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT OUR WEEKEND. WHAT'S IT WAS AWESOME, SO FASCINATING. WE WENT TO PALM SPRINGS WHERE CHARLES AND DAVID KOCH HAVETHEIR WINTER MEETING, JOHN CALLS OUT THERE AS WELL, WE SAW A LOTOF POTENTIAL CANDIDATES RUNNING AROUND, IT IS A PRETTYREMARKABLE EVENT.  I SAT AND TALKED TO CHARLES A GOOD BIT,CHARLES KOCH A GOOD BIT, HE WAS UPSET WITH INCOME DISPARITY INCRONY CAPITALISM.  ANYBODY WHO THINKS THAT THEY ARE LOYAL,FAITHFUL REPUBLICANS HAVE NEVER TALKED TO THEM FROM ONE OFTHREE MINUTES. THEY ARE LIBERTARIANS. THEY LOATHE -- EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T SAY THIS TO ME, THEYHAVE NO USE FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GO OUT AND HAVE THESE HUGE,BLOODIED BATTLES ON SOCIAL ISSUES. THEY ARE ANTIESTABLISHMENT. THEY ARE, AND THE FIRST THING CHARLES SAID TO BE WHAT HE SAWME WAS, HE PICKED OUT A SPECIFIC REPUBLICAN BILL.  I SAID HOW ARETHINGS GOING? HE SAID, LOOK WHAT THEY'RE PASSING IN WASHINGTON. THEY ARE GIVING TAX SUBSIDIES TO HOLLYWOOD, TAX SUBSIDIES TO WALLSTREET, TAX -- I MEAN, THIS GUY IS WHAT MY GOOD BUDDY CHARLIEHILTON WOULD CALL A TRUE BELIEVER, AND HE'S GOT NO USEFOR REPUBLICANS THAT SUPPORT CORPORATE WELFARE, NO USE FORDEMOCRATS.  IT'S PRETTY REMARKABLE. YEAH, PRETTY REMARKABLE.  HE IS A TRUE BELIEVER.  OH MY GOD, HEIS SO PRINCIPLED.  NOT EVEN NECESSARILY A REPUBLICAN.  HE HASGIVEN HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO REPUBLICAN OFFICIALS,THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, HE HAS SINGLE-HANDEDLY DEFEATED MOREDEMOCRATS THAN PROBABLY ANY PERSON IN AMERICAN HISTORY --NOT NECESSARILY A REPUBLICAN.  HE IS SO UNBIASED, CHARLES KOCH ISSUCH A LOVELY HUMAN BEING.  HE HAS ALL THE MONEY.  BY THE WAY,WE TALK ABOUT HOW DONALD TRUMP IS A SUPPOSEDLY -- SEE, IFDONALD TRUMP WAS HALF AS RICH AS HE IS PRETENDING TO BE, THEYWOULD BE KISSING HIS ASS AND HE WOULD BE CALLING THE SHOTS.  THEKOCH BROTHERS ARE ACTUAL BILLIONAIRES AND YOU CAN TELLWHO HAS POWER AND MONEY BY HOW THE REST OF THE PUNDITS ANDPOLITICIANS ON THE RIGHT WING REACT TO THEM, AND WHEN THEY SEETHE KOCH BROTHERS, WHOO, THEY HEEL.  SO WHAT DO THE KOCHBROTHERS WANT, AND WHY HAVE THEY SEND THEIR MINIONS OUT TO ATTACKTRUMP? THEY CLAIM, THIS IS IN THE USA TODAY ARTICLE, THERE AREFOUR THINGS THEY ARE INTERESTED IN.  I WILL TELL YOU WHAT IS THEMOST RELEVANT.  THEIR LIST IS SUPPORT FOR FREE TRADE, WHICHDONALD TRUMP IS AGAINST, FREE-SPEECH, MEANING DON'TBETTER THE PRESS, A LOT OF THEM SPEAK AND REPORT ON YOU,CORPORATE WELFARE, THINGS LIKE THE EXPORT/IMPORT BANK, WHICHDONALD TRUMP I SUSPECT WOULD BE OPPOSED TO, SO THEY SHOULD AGREEON THAT THEORETICALLY.  BY THE WAY IN REALITY THE KOCH BROTHERSLEFT CORPORATE WELFARE WHEN IT COMES TO KOCH INDUSTRIES.  ANDTRYING TO FIND COMMON GROUND WITH PEOPLE, BECAUSE THE KOCHBROTHERS WHO HAVE BOUGHT NEARLY HALF THE POLITICIANS IN THECOUNTRY AND DEVASTATED THE OTHER HALF WITH ONE ATTACK AD AFTERANOTHER AFTER ANOTHER, THEY JUST WANT TO FIND COMMON GROUND.  IDON'T REMEMBER THEIR CAMPAIGNS TO END RACISM EARLIER, REMEMBERTHEIR CAMPAIGNS FOR VOTING RIGHTS ACT, REMEMBER ANY OFTHAT.  NO, THE REAL INTERESTS OF THE KOCH BROTHERS ARE GIVE MELOWER TAXES, AND DONALD TRUMP, THEY CAN'T READ HIM.  AT FIRST HESAID I WILL INCREASE TAXES ON THE RICH, THAT HE REALIZED INTHE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY MAYBE THAT DOESN'T PLAY WELL.  DON'TWORRY, I WILL GIVE THE RICH TREMENDOUS TAX CUTS.  AND AT THATPOINT EVERYBODY EASED UP.  IF YOU NOTICE, THE ATTACKS ABATED INTHE MIDDLE OF THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY.  EVERYONE IS LIKE, HE ISFINE.  THAT HE PIVOTS IN THE GENERAL ELECTION AND SAYS HEWILL RAISE TAXES ON THE RICH, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HERE COMEAND ONSLAUGHT OF ATTACKS ON DONALD TRUMP FROM THE REPUBLICANSIDE.  AND THE FIRST THING THEY MENTIONED, SUPPORT FOR FREETRADE, THAT IS THE KOCH BROTHERS SAYING, DONALD, YOU ARE NOTGETTING IT.  WHERE THE BUSINESS INTERESTS, UNLIKE YOU WE RUNBUSINESSES, WE WILL DO FREE TRADE AND THAT WILL GIVE OURCORPORATIONS GIANT, UNFAIR BENEFITS.  THAT IS THE DEAL.  IFYOU DON'T DO THAT DEAL, NOT ONLY DO YOU NOT GET OUR MONEY, BUTYOU GET OUR WRATH.  AND THEY ASKED CHARLES KOCH, HEY, THEIDEA OF YOU GUYS POSSIBLY COMING AROUND AND ENDORSING HIM, THEYASKED, IS THAT LIKELY TO HAPPEN? QUOTE, NO, BUT WE WANT TO BEOPEN.  IN OTHER WORDS, DONALD, WHAT DO THE KOCH BROTHERS WANT?COME AND SEE.  KISS MY RING AND THEN MAYBE WE WILL HAVE ACONVERSATION.  AND IT APPEARS NEXT WEEK DONALD TRUMP MIGHTKISS THE RING.  AT THIS POINT IT IS REPORTED THAT HE NEEDS $1BILLION TO RUN AN EFFECTIVE CAMPAIGN AGAINST HILLARYCLINTON, WITHOUT THE KOCH BROTHERS OR THESE MAJORINVESTORS IT LOOKS LIKE AT BEST HE WILL ONLY RAISE $300 MILLION,WHICH MEANS HE WON'T BE ABLE TO RUN ANYWHERE NEAR THE ADSHILLARY CLINTON WILL, AND HE WON'T HAVE STAFF ON THE GROUNDIN IMPORTANT SWING STATES THAT HE NEEDS TO WIN.  SO THERE MIGHTBE A DEAL TO BE HAD HERE.  WE WILL KEEP YOU UP-TO-DATE, IFTHEY HAVE THE MEETING WE WILL SEE IF DONALD TRUMP'S POSITIONSCHANGE AND WE WILL SEE IF HE THEN THAT ONLY GETS THE MONEY,BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS AND PUNDITS TURNEDBACK AROUND AND GO DONALD IS NOT SO BAD.  DID WE SAY NOT SEE ORRACIST OR BIGOT? NO, NOT SO BAD, HE HAS LEARNED, HE BECOME ABETTER POLITICIAN, HE IS MORE ON POINT.  THOSE ARE THE TYPE OFTHINGS THEY WILL SAY IF TRUMP AND THE KOCH BROTHERS STRIKE ADEAL.  BUT UNDERSTAND THIS IS ACTUALLY WHAT HAPPENS BEHIND THESCENES TO CONTROL OUR POLITICIANS AND OUR GOVERNMENT. 

Trump Flip-Flops On Gaddafi THREE TIMES

DONALD TRUMP IS CLUELESS.  HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT HIS POLICYPOSITIONS ARE BECAUSE HE NEVER TAUGHT THEM THROUGH, HE JUSTSAYS WHAT IS AT THE TOP OF HIS MIND AND THE TOP OF HIS HEAD, INTHIS CASE IT MIGHT BE WAFFLES, AND WHATEVER YOU THINK ISCONVENIENT AT THE TIME.  MI IN A REPUBLICAN PRIMARY, OR WITH AREPORTER I'M TRYING TO PLEASE, AND MY NOW IN A GENERAL ELECTIONWHERE I WILL GO IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION? HE CONSTANTLYFLIP-FLOPS.  HE HAS BROKEN EVERY RECORD FOR FLIP-FLOPPING, ANDTHIS IS THE GUY WHO'S NOT TO BE A STANDARD POLITICIAN.  THIS ISEXACTLY WHAT STANDARD POLITICIANS DO, I WILL PROVE ITTO YOU, BECAUSE I WILL GIVE HIM ALL HIS DIFFERENT STATEMENT ONQADDAFI AND WHETHER HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT.  WE WILL GOTO 2011 FOR HIS ORIGINAL OPINION AT THE TIME, SHOULD WE GO AFTERQADDAFI IN LIBYA AND TAKE ABOUT?QADDAFI IN LIBYA IS KILLING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, NOBODYKNOWS HOW BAD IT IS, WE ARE SITTING AROUND, WE HAVE SOLDIERSALL AROUND THE MIDDLE EAST, AND WE ARE NOT BRINGING HIM INTOSTOP THIS HORRIBLE CARNAGE.  NOW, WE SHOULD GO IN, WE SHOULD STOPTHIS GUY, WHICH WOULD BE VERY EASY AND VERY QUICK, WE COULD DOIT SURGICALLY.  IT IS HORRIBLE WHAT IS GOING ON, IT HAS TO BESTOPPED.  WE SHOULD DO IT ON A HUMANITARIAN BASIS, WE SHOULDIMMEDIATELY GO INTO LIBYA, KNOCK THIS GUY OUT VERY QUICKLY,VERY SURGICALLY, VERY EFFECTIVELY. IMMEDIATELY GO INTO LIBYA AND NOT THIS GUY OUT. JUST IN CASE YOU WERE UNCLEAR, HE GETS INTERVIEWED ABOUTIT, HERE'S WHAT HE SAYS AGAIN IN 2011. AT THIS POINT IF YOU DON'T GET RID OF QADDAFI IT IS A MAJOR,MAJOR BLACK EYE FOR THIS COUNTRY. COULDN'T BE CLEARER. BUT EARLIER THIS YEAR IN REPUBLICAN DEBATE, THE LOADOF WHAT HE SAID THIS TIME. LET ME JUST TELL YOU, SYRIA, HE SAYS I WAS IN FAVOR OF LIBYAAND SYRIA, I NEVER DISCUSSED THAT SUBJECT.  I WAS IN FAVOR OFLIBYA? WE WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER OFF IF QADDAFI WAS INCHARGE, IF HIS POLITICIANS WENT TO THE BEACH AND INTO A THING,AND IF WE HAD SADDAM HUSSEIN AND QADDAFI IN CHARGE INSTEAD OFTERRORISM ALL OVER THE PLACE, AT LEAST THEY KILLED TERRORISTS,ALL RIGHT?WOW.  THAT WAS AN EPIC FLIP-FLOP.  LET ME TELL YOUSOMETHING, I NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT LIBYA.  NOT EXACTLY.  AND WEWOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER OFF WITH QADDAFI AND POWER.  MAYBE HE JUSTCHANGED HIS POSITION AND EVOLVED, HAPPENS TO POLITICIANSALL THE TIME.  BUT THAT IS HIS POSITION, RIGHT?THAT WAS THIS YEAR, WE SHOULD HAVE LEFT QADDAFI ANDPOWER, HE WON'T CHANGE THAT AGAIN, WITH THE?YOU KNOW HE IS. LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT LIBYA, YOU'VE BEEN CRITICAL OF LIBYAAND HILLARY CLINTON.  YOU ARE ALSO FOR MILITARY ACTION TO OUSTQADDAFI AND MILITARY ACTION TO TAKE CARE OF THE MEDITATIONSITUATION IN LIBYA.  YOU SUPPORTED THAT. WHEN YOU SAY I SUPPORTED IT, I SUPPORTED LIBYA?YOU SUPPORTED INTERVENTION IN LIBYA. WHAT'S WHERE DO YOU SEE THAT?ASKED IN A VIDEO FROM 2011 YOU SAID --WE SHOULD STOP THIS GUY WHICH WOULD BE VERY EASY AND VERYQUICK, WE COULD DO IT SURGICALLY. STOP HIM FROM DOING IT, AND SAVE THESE LIVES. THAT IS NOT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, THAT IS A BIG DIFFERENCE. YOU ARE FOR INTERVENTION. I MADE A LOT OF MONEY WITH QADDAFI, HE CAME TO THECOUNTRY AND HAD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH ME BECAUSE HE NEEDED APLACE TO STAY AND PAY ME A FORTUNE AND NEVER GOT TOSTAY THERE, IT BECAME SORT OF A BIG JOKE. YOU WERE FOR INTERVENTION, TO CLEAR THAT UP. I WAS FOR DOING SOMETHING BUT NOT FOR WHAT YOU HAVE RIGHTNOW, RIGHT NOW ISIS HAS THEIR OIL. THIS CONFUSES SOME PEOPLE, YOU SAID YOU WEREN'T FORINTERVENTION, BUT YOU WERE FOR INTERVENTION IN LIBYA. I DIDN'T MIND SURGICAL, I SAID SURGICAL.  YOU DO A SURGICAL SHOTAND TAKE HIM OUT, BUT I WASN'T FOR WHAT HAPPENED.  LOOK AT WITHBENGHAZI AND ALL THE PROBLEMS YOU'VE HAD, IT WAS HANDLEDHORRIBLY. YOU SAY YOU WERE NEVER FOR INTERVENTION. IWASN'T, I COULD SEE SURGICAL WE TAKE UP QADDAFI AND HIS GROUP. YOU TAKE OUT QADDAFI.  NO, WE WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER OFFWITH QADDAFI IN THERE.  LIKE I SAID, YOU TAKE OUT QADDAFI.  THEFLIP-FLOPS ARE EPIC, HE BEATS ALL OTHER POLITICIANS IN HOWMUCH HE LIES AND CHANGES HIS POSITIONS.  BUT ALSO NOTE THAT HEIS NOT A STANDARD POLITICIAN IN SOME WAYS, HE JUST BRAGGED ABOUTMAKING MONEY OFF OF QADDAFI.  NOT SOMETHING YOU NORMALLY DO WHENRUNNING FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.  NOWREMEMBER, QADDAFI AND I HAD A GREAT DEAL.  AND THAT IS A GOODTHING? THIS GUY IS AMAZING.  BUT IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT HISPOLICY POSITION IS ON ANY GIVEN ISSUE, YOU HAVE NO IDEA.  HECOULD CHANGE IT TOMORROW.  BY THE WAY, I'VE GOT NEWS FOR YOU, HEDOESN'T EVEN KNOW.  HE'S LIKE, I DON'T KNOW, WHAT IS CONVENIENT?I WILL BLURT IT OUT IN THE NEXT AND I WILL CHANGE IT.  WHO CARESWHAT MY POSITION IS? JUST GIVE ME THE POWER ALREADY.  THAT ISDONALD TRUMP.

Ken Starr CAUGHT Lying During Local News Interview

IT IS AWESOME WHERE THERE IS ACTUAL JOURNALISM TAKINGPLACE WITH LOCAL NEWS AND THAT WAS NO EXCEPTION WHEN ITCAME TO WACO'S KWTX INTERVIEWING KENNETH STARR. EARLIER THIS WEEK WE TALKED ABOUT KENNETH STARR STEPPINGDOWN AS CHANCELLOR OF BAYLOR AND THE REASON WHY HE DID THATIS BECAUSE THE UNIVERSITY IS FACING A SEXUAL ASSAULT SCANDALWHERE A FEW OF ITS FOOTBALL PLAYERS HAVE NOT ONLY BEENACCUSED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN CONVICTED OF IT. HE HAD SAID THAT HE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THE SEXUAL ASSAULTCASES, BUT HE IS GOING TO STEP DOWN BECAUSE THE CAPTAINGOES DOWN WITH THE SHIP. HOWEVER, WACO'S KWTX REALIZED THAT THERE WAS ANEMAIL FROM ONE OF THE WOMEN WHO HAD BEEN RAPED SENT DIRECTLY TOHIM AND THEY ASKED HIM WHETHER OR NOT HE HAD READ THAT EMAIL. LOOK AT HIS RESPONSE. I HONESTLY MAY HAVE. I AM NOT DENYING THAT I SAW IT. BUT IT'S WHAT HAPPENS MOMENTS LATER THAT BRINGS THEINTERVIEW TO A HALT ONWHAT YOU CAN'T SEE DURING THIS INTERVIEW IS MY NEWSDIRECTOR BEHIND ME. YOU ALSO CAN'T SEE A WOMAN NAMED MARY SPADE WHO ASKED MYBOSS WHO TO PROMISE THAT USE A PORTION OF THE INTERVIEW. WHEN HE SAYS NO, SHE INTERRUPTS HER INTERVIEW. WELL I WANT TO POINT OUT, ñ I NEED TO TALK TO YOU, SIR. CAN ASK YOU ONE MORE QUESTIONSPATE WAS INTRODUCED TO HER SCREW AS A LONGTIME FAMILYFRIEND. WHAT WE HAVE SINCE LEARNED IS THAT SHE HAS A LONG RESUMEAND CRISIS MANAGEMENT. SHE IS A COMMUNICATION SPECIALIST, OWNS HER OWNFIRM, AND WAS ONCE A DIRECTOR OF MEDIA RELATIONS AT THEWHITE HOUSE OR PRESIDENT REAGAN. SHE ALSO COACHED STAR WARS GAME TESTIMONY TO IMPEACH BILLCLINTON. SHE CONTROLS HIS MESSAGE PRETTY AGGRESSIVELY. THAT IS THE FIRST PART OF THE VIDEO. SHE WAS JUST A FAMILY FRIEND. SHE IS AGGRESSIVE. SHE WOULD NOT LET THE INTERVIEW CONTINUE AND YOU CAN KINDOF SEE THE FEAR IN HIS EYES WHEN HE IS ADDRESSING HER WHICHIS KIND OF INCREDIBLE. SHE IS THE PERSON WHO IS HELPED HIM WITH CRISIS MANAGEMENTFOR A LONG TIME. I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW LONG IT IS BEEN SINCE I'VE SEEN CANSTARS FACE. IT IS SO NOT FUN TO WATCH HIS FACE ANYMORE EVER. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO SEE HIM EVER AGAIN. THE REST OF THIS VIDEO IS PRETTY FUN ACTUALLY. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. SHE NEEDS TO ASK YOU THAT QUESTION AGAIN, WHETHER YOUDO IT ON CAMERA NOT IS UP TO YOU. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T END UP MISS EDITED. WE ASK HIM AGAIN AND HE ANSWERS, BUT TURNS TO SPATEAPPARENTLY FOR COACHING. ALL AM GOING TO SAY IS I HONESTLY HAVE NORECOLLECTION OF THAT. OF SEEING AN EMAIL. IS THAT OKAY?THEN START ANSWERS AGAIN. I HONESTLY HAVE NO RECOLLECTION OF SEEING SUCH ANEMAIL AND I BELIEVE THAT I WOULD REMEMBER SEEING SUCH AN EMAIL. THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY GETS A LOT OF EMAILS. I DON'T EVEN SEE A LOT OF THE EMAILS THAT COME INTO THEOFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT. I HAVE NO RECOLLECTION OF IT. NONE. WELL START CALLS FOR TRANSPARENCY AND OPENNESS,IT APPEARS HIS MESSAGE IS STILL BEING TIGHTLY CONTROLLED. HE GETS MANY EMAILS. MANY, MANY EMAILS. I DID NOT HAVE EMAIL WITH THAT WOMAN. I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH KENNETH STARR. WAS HE EVER?HERE'S WHAT I MEAN. KENNETH STARR IS, AS MUCH AS WE ALL DISLIKE HIM, A VERYSHARP LAWYER. HE PROSECUTED BILL CLINTON AGGRESSIVELY AND VICIOUSLYAND METICULOUSLY. HE IS NOT THE TYPE BELOW YOUR THAT WOULD BE LIKE OH, IDIDN'T JUST NOTICE IMPLICATING MYSELF. WHEN HE SAYS YEAH, I THINK I GOT THE EMAIL. TO HAVE A PR PERSON HAVE TO COACH HIM AND SAY KENNY,YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO ADMIT THE TRUTH. REMEMBER?AND HE IS LIKE THAT I DO A RIGHT?I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT HE HAD THE UNITEDSTATES CONGRESS LED BY NEW GREENWICH BEHIND HIM ALIMITLESS AMOUNT OF MONEY IN ONE CASE. AND 50 LAWYERS WORKING FOR THEM. SO YOU THINK THAT HE WAS AN ADULT LONG?I THINK FOR A LONG TIME HE WAS THOUGHT TO BE A POTENTIALREPUBLICAN NOMINEE OF THE SUPREME COURT, BUT IT WOULDHE WAS NOT. THERE IS A RAPE EPIDEMIC GOING ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES RIGHT NOW. MY GOOD FRIEND AMY SEARING OR IS THE PRODUCER OF DATAI INTERVIEWED HER. IT IS DEVASTATING. TO BE THERE AND SAY, TO MAKE IT AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OFTALKING POINT OR GAME IS JUST UGLY. ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE TOTAL LACK OF IRONY ABOUT A SEXSCANDAL WITH THIS GUY. SEX SCANDAL AND AN OFF YOU STATION IN A VERY SPECIFICMANNER OF ANSWERING A QUESTION. DOES THIS STRIKE YOU?DOES HE NOT GO OF THIS IS IRONIC. THIS IS QUITE A MOMENT. I HAVE TWO OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS, VERY STEEPED INACADEMIA. ONE IS THE DEAN OF A LAW SCHOOL, THE OTHER IS THE ASSISTANTPRESIDENT OF A MAJOR UNIVERSITY. BOTH OF THEM ARE SCHOOLS THAT ARE FAIRLY SPORTS SUCCESS INTHEIR OWN WAY, NOT QUITE AS BIG, BUT NEITHER OF THEM AS BIG AS ATOP 10 FOOTBALL PROGRAM WHICH IS WHAT BAYLOR HAD WHEN KEN'S STARTOOK OUT UNDER TOOK OVER. THEY WERE COMPETING FOR A NATIONAL CHAMPING EVERY YEAR. ROBERT GRIFFIN THE THIRD WAS THERE. THEY KNOW EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON THE FOOTBALL TEAM. THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN MANY WAYS AND THEYPROBABLY ROLLED HER EYES THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. THEY HAVE WELL-MEANING UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS THAT ARELIKE I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE TO DO WITH THIS 24 SEVEN BUT THENOTION THAT FOOTBALL PLAYERS WOULD BE ACCUSED OF RAPE TO THEPOINT WHERE THEIR POLICE INVESTIGATING IT, THAT THEYWOULD BE LIKE, THEY DIDN'T BRING ME IN ON IT. IT'S A LIE IN THIS INTERVIEW JUST CONFIRMS THAT. HE ESSENTIALLY CONFESSED THAT HE GOT THE EMAIL AND THEN HE HADTO CHANGE HIS MESSAGING BASED ON WHAT HIS PR AGENT WANTED. THE ONE THING I WANT TO POINT OUT IS OF COURSE A NEW. THERE WAS ONE PLAYER FROM BOISE WHO WAS BEING INVESTIGATEDFOR SEXUAL ASSAULT CHARGES. NO OTHER UNIVERSITY WOULD TOUCH HIM, SURPRISINGLY, BECAUSEIT SEEMS LIKE UNIVERSITIES DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT THEISSUES AND AS LONG AS HE'S A GOOD PLAYER THEY WILL TAKE HIM. BUT IT WAS THE ONLY UNIVERSITY THAT WAS WILLING TO TAKEHIM IN AS HE WAS PLAYING FOR THEM, HE ACTUALLY GOT CONVICTEDFOR SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS FOR ANOTHER CASE. OF COURSE I KNEW IT WAS GOING ON. REALLY?AGAIN, UNFORTUNATELY WHAT LEADS TO SUCCESS IS OFTENTIMES NOT BEING PARTICULARLY BRIGHT. ITS SHAMELESSNESS. BAYLOR WAS WILLING TO DO WHAT NO ONE ELSE IS WILLING TO DO. COME ALL, IT DOESN'T MATTER. YOUR RAPIST, YOUR Criminal, IT DOESN'T MATTER. IT'S WHAT TRUMP THINKS MEXICANS ARE IS ACTUALLY THISCHRISTIAN COLLEGE IS LIKE ALL OF YOU. COM HERE. JUST PLAY FOR ME. AS LONG AS YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE MONEY FOR THISUNIVERSITY, COME PLAY FOR US AND WE WILL BRUSH THOSE SEXUALASSAULT UNDER THE RUG. THAT IS ESSENTIALLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF THESCHOOLS WHO ARE IN A LOT OF TROUBLE FOR BRUSHING CASESOF SEXUAL ASSAULT UNDER THE RUG. KNOW THEIR IVY LEAGUE INSTITUTIONS THAT DON'TWANT TO DO ANYTHING TO RUN THEIR NAME AND THE REPUTATION ORIT'S THE SCHOOLS THAT HAVE ATHLETES WHO ARE BEINGINVESTIGATED OR HAVE BEEN CONVICTED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT. IT IS INSANE. THIS WOMAN WAS THE PR COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR ANDTHE REAGAN WHITE HOUSE. HER MESSAGE IS SIMPLE: DENY. OVER 100 MEMBERS OF THE REAGAN ADMINISTRATION WEREINDICTED OR CONVICTED OR IMPLICATED IN SCANDAL STOPPEOPLE DON'T REMEMBER, A LOT OF FOLKS HOLD UP RONALD REAGANAS THIS WONDERFUL, AMAZING PRESIDENT. THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST CORRUPT AND ACTUALLY CRIMINALADMINISTRATIONS IN AMERICAN HISTORY. IF SHE WAS THE PERSON ñWAS AMAZING TO ME IS THAT SHE IS CLEARLY NOT IN THE BALL EITHER. SHE COMES IN AND SAYS DON'T SAY THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF ANINTERVIEW DIES CAMERAS ARE ROLLING. THAT IS ASTONISHING. THAT IS MY FAVORITE PART. MY PUBLICIST IS HIDING BEHIND THE WALL RIGHT NOW WOULDNEVER COME OUT AND DO THAT. BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, NOT ONLY DID SHE COME OUT AND GETHERSELF ON TV, VIOLATING EVERY RULE OF THE BUBBLE SYSTEM,SHE GOT HERSELF ON TV SPEAKING THE LIE OUT LOUD. THEY ABANDONED EVERY OTHER PART OF THE INTERVIEW AND JUSTPUT IT ONLINE. AT THE END OF THE PIECE, THE ANCHOR SAYS YOU CAN SEE THE RESTOF THE INTERVIEW ONLINE BUT WE COULD SIT WE DECIDED THISIS ONLY PLACE THAT MATTERS. OUTSIDE THE LINES ESPN ACTUALLY BROKE THE STORY ON THEEMAIL, AND THEY WERE ACTUALLY SMART ENOUGH TO GET HIM ANDTALK TO AND I GUESS ESPN DIDN'T. THAT NEWS DIRECTOR NEW, AND THEY ASK DOUGHNUTS THAT QUESTION. I WAS TOLD HE WOULD BE INCLUDING THIS. IN THE NEWS DIRECTOR WENT KNOW, HE STOOD RIGHT BEHIND HISREPORTER AND DID IT. THAT IS SERIOUS PRESSURE. SHE IS THE WORST. CENK UYGUR AND I'VE BEEN EXPOSED TO MANY OF TIMES. THERE PLENTY OF NEWS REPORTERS WHO WHEN THEY ARE FACED WITHPRESSURE THEY LOSE THEIR JOB. THAT'S WHY SHE DID IT. YOU THINK HOW CRAZY IS SHE TO DO SOMETHING THAT OUTRAGEOUS?WHILE THE CAMERAS ARE ROLLING. THAT'S BECAUSE IT WORKS MOST OF THE TIME. THAT PRESSURE DOES WORK. GREAT CREDIT TO THE REPORTER INTO THE NEWS DIRECTOR AND THEENTIRE STATE STATION FOR DOING REAL JOURNALISM. SAYING NO, WE'RE GOING TO AIR THE THING THAT YOU SAIDTHAT IS THE MOST PERTINENT THING TO THIS CASE. WE ARE NOT TO LET YOU BARRIER. UNFORTUNATELY, OFTEN TIMES THEY DO THAT'S WHY SHE WASBRAZEN ENOUGH TO COME OUT AND SAY JUST DELETE THE TRUTHFROM THE RECORD. WE WANTED TO BE EDITED THE WRONG WAY. SHE APOLOGIZED TODAY TO HER FRIEND KENNETH STARR FOREMBARRASSING HIM AND PUTTING HIM IN A BAD SPOT. DID NOT APOLOGIZE TO ANY OF THE RAPE VICTIMS ORANYONE ELSE INVOLVED IN THE STORY FOR SHADING THE TRUTH.

Good news in the fight against pancreatic cancer | Laura Indolfi

By rаіѕіng your hаnd,hоw many оf уоu knоw аt lеаѕt оnе реrѕоn on thе ѕсrееn?Wоw, it's аlmоѕt a full hоuѕе. It's truе, thеу аrе very fаmоuѕ in their fіеldѕ. And dо you knоw whаt all оf thеm have іn common?They all dіеd оf раnсrеаtіс саnсеr. Hоwеvеr, although it's vеrу, vеrу sad this news,it's also thanks tо thеіr реrѕоnаl storiesthat wе have rаіѕеd awareness оf hоw lеthаl this disease саn bе. It's become the thіrd саuѕе of саnсеr dеаthѕ,аnd only eight percent of the patients wіll ѕurvіvе beyond fіvе уеаrѕ. That's a vеrу tіnу number,especially іf уоu соmраrе it wіth brеаѕt саnсеr,whеrе thе survival rаtе іѕ аlmоѕt 90 реrсеnt. Sо іt dоеѕn't really соmе аѕ a ѕurрrіѕеthаt being dіаgnоѕеd wіth раnсrеаtіс саnсеrmеаnѕ fасіng аn аlmоѕt certain dеаth ѕеntеnсе. Whаt'ѕ shocking, thоugh, іѕ thаt іn thе lаѕt 40 years,this numbеr hasn't changed a bіt,whіlе muсh mоrе progress has bееn madewith оthеr tуреѕ of tumоrѕ. Sо how саn we mаkе раnсrеаtіс cancer trеаtmеnt mоrе еffесtіvе?Aѕ a biomedical еntrерrеnеur,I lіkе to wоrk оn рrоblеmѕ that ѕееm іmроѕѕіblе,undеrѕtаndіng thеіr lіmіtаtіоnѕаnd trуіng to find nеw, innovative ѕоlutіоnѕthаt can change thеіr outcome. The first ріесе of bad nеwѕ with pancreatic саnсеrіѕ thаt your pancreas is іn thе middle of your bеllу, lіtеrаllу. It's dерісtеd in оrаngе оn thе ѕсrееn. But уоu саn barely see іtuntіl I rеmоvе аll the оthеr оrgаnѕ in front. It'ѕ аlѕо surrounded bу mаnу оthеr vіtаl оrgаnѕ,lіkе thе liver, thе ѕtоmасh, thе bile duсt. And thе аbіlіtу оf the tumor to grоw into thоѕе оrgаnѕіѕ thе reason whу раnсrеаtіс canceris оnе оf thе mоѕt раіnful tumоr tуреѕ. The hаrd-tо-rеасh location also prevents thе doctorfrom surgically rеmоvіng іt,аѕ is rоutіnеlу dоnе for brеаѕt саnсеr, for example. So аll of thеѕе reasons lеаvе сhеmоthеrару аѕ thе оnlу optionfor the раnсrеаtіс саnсеr раtіеnt. Thіѕ brings uѕ to thе second ріесе of bad nеwѕ. Pаnсrеаtіс саnсеr tumors hаvе vеrу fеw blооd vessels. Whу ѕhоuld wе care аbоut thе blood vеѕѕеl of a tumоr?Lеt'ѕ thіnk fоr a ѕесоnd hоw chemotherapy wоrkѕ. Thе drug іѕ injected in thе veinand it nаvіgаtеѕ thrоughоut thе bоdу untіl іt rеасhеѕ the tumоr site. It'ѕ lіkе drіvіng on a hіghwау, trying to rеасh a dеѕtіnаtіоn. But what іf уоur dеѕtіnаtіоn dоеѕn't hаvе an еxіt on thе highway?You wіll nеvеr gеt thеrе. And thаt'ѕ еxасtlу the ѕаmе problemfor chemotherapy and раnсrеаtіс cancer. Thе drugѕ nаvіgаtе thrоughоut аll of уоur body. Thеу wіll rеасh hеаlthу organs,resulting in high tоxіс еffесt fоr thе patients оvеrаll,but vеrу little will go tо the tumоr. Therefore, thе efficacy is vеrу limited. Tо mе, it seems vеrу соuntеrіntuіtіvе tо have a whоlе-bоdу trеаtmеnttо target a specific оrgаn. However, іn thе lаѕt 40 уеаrѕ,а lоt оf money, rеѕеаrсh аnd еffоrt have gоnе tоwаrdѕfіndіng new, роwеrful drugѕ to trеаt pancreatic саnсеr,but nothing hаѕ been dоnе in сhаngіng thе wауwе dеlіvеr them tо thе раtіеnt. So аftеr two pieces of bаd nеwѕ,I'm gоіng tо gіvе you good nеwѕ, hореfullу. Wіth a соllаbоrаtоr аt MITаnd thе Mаѕѕасhuѕеttѕ Gеnеrаl Hоѕріtаl in Bоѕtоn,wе have revolutionized the way wе treat саnсеrbу making lосаlіzеd drug dеlіvеrу a rеаlіtу. We are bаѕісаllу раrасhutіng уоu on tор of уоur dеѕtіnаtіоn,аvоіdіng уоur hаvіng to drive аll аrоund thе hіghwау. We hаvе еmbеddеd the drug іntо dеvісеѕ thаt look like thіѕ оnе. Thеу аrе flеxіblе еnоugh thаt they саn bе fоldеdtо fіt into thе catheter,so thе dосtоr саn іmрlаnt іt directly оn tор of thе tumоrwіth mіnіmаllу іnvаѕіvе surgery. But thеу аrе ѕоlіd еnоugh thаt once they are positionedon tор of thе tumоr,thеу wіll act as a саgе. They wіll асtuаllу physically рrеvеnt thе tumоrfrоm еntеrіng other оrgаnѕ,соntrоllіng the mеtаѕtаѕіѕ. Thе dеvісеѕ аrе аlѕо bіоdеgrаdаblе. Thаt means that once in thе bоdу,thеу ѕtаrt dіѕѕоlvіng,dеlіvеrіng thе drug оnlу lосаllу, ѕlоwlу and mоrе effectivelythan whаt is dоnе with the сurrеnt whоlе-bоdу trеаtmеnt. In рrе-сlіnісаl ѕtudу, we hаvе demonstratedthat this lосаlіzеd approachis аblе tо improve bу 12 tіmеѕ thе rеѕроnѕе tо trеаtmеnt. Sо wе tооk a drug thаt іѕ аlrеаdу knownand bу juѕt dеlіvеrіng it locally whеrе it's nееdеd the most,we аllоw a rеѕроnѕе that іѕ 12 tіmеѕ mоrе роwеrful,rеduсіng thе ѕуѕtеmіс tоxіс effect.

>>THE WASHINGTON POST APPEARS TO HAVE GIVEN UP ON THAT WHOLEJOURNALISM THING.  NOW THEY ARE JUST MAKING STUFF UP.  THEYPUBLISHED THIS ARTICLE EARLIER TODAY, WE WANT TO SHOW YOU THEFRONT PAGE, SAYING THAT BERNIE BROS ARE OUT IN FULL FORCEHARASSING FEMALE REPORTERS.  YOU MIGHT SAY WHAT IS WRONG WITHTHAT? THAT IS A PICTURE OF BERNIE.  THAT IS NOT THE RIGHTGRAPHIC, THAT IS MY FAULT.  WAS ORIGINALLY IN THE IMAGE WAS APICTURE OF THE WOMAN WHO HAD BEEN EGGED IN SAN JOSE BY BERNIESANDERS SUPPORTERS, SHE IS DUCKING HER HEAD AND SHE HAS EGGIN HER HAIR AND SHE IS RUNNING AWAY.  BUT THE HEADLINE IS,BERNIE BROS ARE HARASSING FEMALE REPORTERS.  SO SOME CRAZY PEOPLETHOUGHT MAYBE THERE WAS A LINK BETWEEN THE PICTURE AND THEHEADLINE.  SO THEY ADDED THIS ONCE THEY CHANGED THE PICTURE -->>COME ON, MAN.  COME ON. >>IT GETS WORSE.  FIRST OFF, ON JOHN'S POINT, YOU CLAIM TO BE AREPORTER AND YOU DIDN'T CHECK TO SEE IF YOU HAD THE RIGHTPICTURE?>>IDIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT PICTURE IN THAT GRAPHIC, SO GLASS HOUSES. >>IF YOU ARE REPORTER YOU CHECK TO SEE IF THAT WOMAN IS AREPORTER IF YOU ARE GOING TO CLAIM SHE IS A REPORTER.  HOW DOYOU WRITE A STORY AROUND THAT IDEA, AND THEN YOU ARE LIKE, IDON'T KNOW, LET'S JUST PICK THIS PICTURE.  SHOULD ANYBODY CHECK IFSHE IS A REPORTER? NO. >>THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS IN THE PICTURE.  AT THE END OF THEARTICLE THEY SAY -- THEY START SMEARING CENTER SUPPORT FOR ALLSORTS OF THINGS.  THEY SAY -->>OF COURSE THEY PROVIDE NO EVIDENCE THAT THOSE WERE BERNIESANDERS SUPPORTERS WHO DID THOSE ATTACKS.  WE BELIEVE THEY WERELIBERALS, THEY WERE PROBABLY DEMOCRATS, WE HAVE NO REASON TOBELIEVE THEY ARE BERNIE SANDERS FANS.  BUT BY PUTTING THAT AT THEVERY END OF THE ARTICLE, THEN THEY CAN SAY THAT'S WHAT WE WEREILLUSTRATING WITH OUR THUMBNAIL FOR THE ENTIRE ARTICLE, THEHEADLINE FOR WHICH HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PICTURE. >>THAT WAS THE SECOND POINT I WAS GOING TO GET TO, JOHN, WHICHIS EVERYBODY, ESPECIALLY THIS ARTICLE, ASSUMES THAT THE PEOPLEWHO DID THE ATTACKS IN SAN JOSE WERE BERNIE SANDERS SUPPORTERS. BASED ON WHAT EVIDENCE? WE SHOWED YOU THE VIDEO, THEY LOOKLIKE A COUPLE OF DUDES FROM SAN JOSE.  THEY HAVE NO BERNIEPARAPHERNALIA, THEY NEVER SAID THEY WERE FOR BERNIE SANDERS,AND I SAID IT WHEN WE COVERED THE STORY, I'M NOT EVEN SURETHEY WERE VERY POLITICAL.  IT LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE MAINLYPISSED AT TRUMP'S ATTACKS AGAINST LATINOS.  WHY DO I ASSUMETHAT? BECAUSE THEY WERE CARRYING MEXICAN FLAGS.  I DENTAL PROBLEMWITH THE FLAGS, I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ATTACKS, AND I HAVETROUBLE WITH YOU CLAIMING THEY WERE BERNIE SANDERS SUPPORTERSWHEN YOU MADE THAT UP OUT OF WHOLE CLOTH.  THEY HAVE GIVEN UPALL PRETENSE.  NOW YOU DIVE INTO THE ARTICLE AND IT GETS WORSE. HERE'S A QUOTE FROM THE ARTICLE, IF THERE IS A TROPHY FOR BADBEHAVIOR, BERNIE SANDERS SUPPORTERS APPEAR HELL-BENT ONTAKING IT FROM DONALD TRUMP'S.  BASED ON WHAT?>>THEY ARE THE SAME, BERNIE, TRUMP.  CHOCOLATE, P BUTTER. SAME THING. >>AT TRUMP RALLIES PEOPLE GET PUNCHED AND ATTACKED BY A MOB,RACIST CHANTS GO UP. AT BERNIE SANDERS RALLIES THEY CHANT BERNIE, BERNIE. >>EARNING THINGS?>>AND IN THE QUOTE THAT JOHN READ, AT THE NEVADA CONVENTIONALL THESE TERRIBLE THINGS HAPPENED.  NO THEY DIDN'T, YOUNEVER PROVE THAT ANYONE THREW A CHAIR, THERE WERE NO ARRESTS OREVIDENCE OF VIOLENCE, BUT YOU KEEP SAYING BECAUSE YOU ARE NOTA JOURNALIST, YOU ARE HELL-BENT ON SMEARING BERNIE SANDERS ANDHIS SUPPORTERS AND YOU WILL DO IT NO MATTER WHAT THE EVIDENCEIS.  DAMN THE FACTS.  AND YOU WONDER WHY PEOPLE DON'T TRUSTTHE MEDIA ANYMORE.  IT IS NOT JUST BECAUSE CONSERVATIVES SAIDTHEY HAVE A LIBERAL BIAS, IT IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE ANESTABLISHMENT BY US AND THEY CAN'T SEE STRAIGHT.  AND THISARTICLE IS SO BAD I NORMALLY SAY THEY DON'T REALIZE HOW BIASEDTHEY ARE, THIS GUY MIGHT KNOW.  THIS GUY SEEMED FAR MOREMALICIOUS THAN OTHER ONES WE HAVE POINTED OUT.  BECAUSE THENWE GET TO THE THIRD EGREGIOUS PART OF THIS ARTICLE.  REMEMBERTHE NEW YORK TIMES REPORTER WHO ASKED TO SANDERS AT A RALLY, HERNAME IS YAMICHA ALCINDOR, IS IT SEXIST TO REMAIN IN THE RACEAGAINST HILLARY CLINTON? AND BERNIE, I BELIEVE JUSTIFIABLY,SAID IS THAT A SERIOUS QUESTION? CAN I RUN AGAINST CARLY FIORINA?CAN ANYONE RUN AGAINST HILLARY CLINTON?I THINK IT IS THE MOST LOGICAL QUESTION EVER ASKED. >>IT WAS SEXIST OF OBAMA TO BEAT HER. >>AND THE NEW YORK TIMES REPORTER SAID SHE'S GOT THEDELEGATE LEAD, SO --OKAY, A QUESTION ABOUT THE DELEGATE LEAD IS FAIR.  BUT IDON'T KNOW WHY YOU ARE CONNECTING IT TO THE SEXISM.  SOTHIS WRITER TURNS AROUND AND SAYS, SANDERS HIMSELF GOT INTO ATESTY EXCHANGE WITH A FEMALE TIMES REPORTER, AND SANDERSINITIALLY CUT ALCINDOR OFF BEFORE SHE COULD FINISH HERQUESTION.  THEN THERE IS NO WINNING. >>THAT IS THE TRAP. >>I THINK THIS GUY IS SO MALICIOUS THAT HE KNOWS THE TRAPHE IS LAYING.  BY THE WAY, ANYBODY CAN DO THIS.  THEY AREJUST CHOOSING TO DO IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BERNIE SANDERS. HERE, I WILL SET UP A TRAP THAT WE COULD DO IF WE WERE EQUALLYMALICIOUS, BUT WE DON'T, AND THAT IS WHY THIS IS AN UNEVENPLAYING FIELD, BECAUSE BERNIE SANDERS OPPONENTS ARE MALICIOUSAND HIS SUPPORTERS ARE LIBERALS.  HERE'S A TRAP YOU CAN SET, IT ISANTI-SEMITIC OF ALL THESE REPORTERS WHO ARE UNCOMFORTABLEWITH A JEWISH CANDIDATE DOING SO WELL, I WONDER WHY THEY ARE SODEAD SET AGAINST A JEW BECOMING THIS POWERFUL.  AND THEN WE HADOUR REPORTER, JORDAN, ASK HILLARY IF SHE WAS ANTI-SEMITICFOR RUNNING AGAINST THE HISTORIC CAMPAIGN OF BERNIE SANDERS, ANDSHE GOT A LITTLE TESTY.  BUT JORDAN IS JEWISH. >>SHE GOT INTO A TESTY EXCHANGE WITH A JEWISH REPORTER. >>IT ONLY PROVES HOW ANTI-SEMITIC SHE IS. >>IS THAT THE POLITICAL SYSTEM WE WANT TO HAVE QUEST WEDON'T WANT THAT. >>THAT SEEMS LIKE A PREPOSTEROUS EXAMPLE -- THAT IS LITERALLYWHAT THEY'RE DOING TO BERNIE SANDERS BUT ON A FEMALEQUESTION.  A FEMALE ASKS IF YOU ARE SEXIST, YOU THOUGHT THAT ISWEIRD, BUT IT IS SEXIST FOR YOU TO DO IT AGAINST A FEMALEREPORTER.  IF YOU DO THAT WITH ANTI-SEMITISM IS UGLY ANDHORRIBLE BUT IT IS ALSO BAD WHEN YOU DO IT WITH SEXISM INTHIS CASE. >>AND IT MINIMIZES THE REAL SEXISM THAT SHE WILL FACE ANDHAS ALREADY FACED, THAT ACTUALLY EXISTS, AND YOU ARE CLOUDING THEISSUE BY IMPLYING THAT EVERYTHING THAT EVERHAPPENS TO HER IS SEXIST. >>AND AT THE END OF THE ARTICLE HE COMES BACK TO THE STANDARDLINES, WHICH IS, WHILE THIS HAS BEEN AN UNDENIABLY IMPRESSIVECAMPAIGN -- WHAT? FIRST OF ALL, A PAT ON THE HEAD.  SECOND OFALL, THE WASHINGTON POST FAMOUSLY DENIED HOW IMPRESSIVETHE CAMPAIGN WAS.  16 HEADLINES IN 16 HOURS IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIMPRESSIVE CAMPAIGN.  WHEN HE HAD A GREAT CHANCE TO WIN, NOT NOW,WHEN HE HAD A CHANCE TO WIN, THEY WERE LIKE, HE IS NOTHING, ALOSER, WHY DOESN'T HE GET OUT OF THE RACE? SOCIALIST.  WHAT ISWRONG WITH THEM, ETC.  AND NOW THEY ARE LIKE, IT WAS UNDENIABLYIMPRESSIVE.  PAT ON THE HEAD.  NOW THEY SAY HE HAS TO MAKE SURETHERE IS NO MORE HOOLIGANISM LIKE THIS.  YOU GUYS ARE THE SAMEPEOPLE WHO ATTACKED HIM FOR BEING THE MOST LIBERAL SENATOROF OUR LIFETIMES.  SO WHICH ONE IS IT? HE DOESN'T KNOW WHEN TOGO TO WAR, HE IS NOT PRAGMATIC AND PRACTICAL.  YOU HAVE TO DROPBOMBS AND KILL PEOPLE IF YOU ARE PRESIDENT.  HOOLIGAN, HOW DAREYOU OPPOSE THE ESTABLISHMENT? MAKE UP YOUR MIND.  THIS WAS AHATCHET JOB, AND OTHER STUFF IS UNCONSCIOUS BIAS, IT LOOKEDLIKE THIS WAS CONSCIOUS. 

Why The Death Penalty Needs To Die | The Racket | MTV News

JAMIL SMITH: Nоnе one should be sentenced tо dеаthіn Amеrіса, nоt even Dуlаnn Roof. Dуlаnn Rооf, уоu mіght rеmеmbеr, is the уоung white ѕuрrеmасіѕtwhо opened fіrе on blасk сhurсhgоеrѕіn Chаrlеѕtоn, Sоuth Cаrоlіnа last June. Nine оf thеm wеrе kіllеd, іnсludіng their pastor, Clеmеntа Pіnсknеу. A соuрlе wееkѕ аgо, Attоrnеу General Loretta Lуnсhаnnоunсеd thаt thе U. S.  Dераrtmеntоf Justice wоuld ѕееk thе dеаth реnаltу аgаіnѕt Rооf. I gеt thаt impulse: an eye fоr an eye. Thе guy who murdеrеd a bunсh оf peopleafter a Bіblе ѕtudу, so let’s kіll hіm, rіght?Wrоng.  Nо mаttеrhоw аngrу wе fееl the dеаth реnаltу nееdѕ tо dіе. There аrе a lоt of rеаѕоnѕ why саріtаl punishment ѕhоuld bе аbоlіѕhеd,іn аll саѕеѕ. Fіrѕt things fіrѕt:kіllіng рrіѕоnеrѕ dоеѕn’t do аnуthіng tо stop сrіmе. Thе murdеr rate іn dеаth реnаltу ѕtаtеѕ was асtuаllу twеntу-еіght percent hіghеrіn 2014 thаn іt was in ѕtаtеѕ thаt dоn’t uѕе capital рunіѕhmеnt. Sо it’s nоt a deterrent. Alѕо, оur tax dollars соuld bе gоіng towards tоrturе. Thе wау thе dеаth реnаltу іѕ аdmіnіѕtеrеd is often рrеttу savage. Fоr еxаmрlе, two years аgо Oklahoma еѕѕеntіаllу tortured an inmate tо dеаthwіth a secret thrее-drug сосktаіlрuѕhеd іntо his vеіnѕ fоr forty minutesuntil hе hаd a hеаrt аttасk. Even lеthаl іnjесtіоn саn bе ѕо bаrbаrіс,nо F. D. A. -аррrоvеd drug mаnufасturеrѕ,zеrо, allow thеіr drugѕ tо be uѕеd іn executions. Another thіng: capital punishment іѕ асtuаllу mоrе expensivethan kееріng іnmаtеѕ іn prison for life. Whу? Because thеѕе kinds of саѕеѕ аrе mоrе expensiveto trу іn court than уоur tурісаl criminal case. So thаt’ѕ mіllіоnѕ оf dollarsthat ѕtаtеѕ could bе ѕреndіng to kеер thоѕе ѕаmе іnmаtеѕіnсаrсеrаtеd fоr a cheaper price. There аrе аlѕо bеttеr wауѕ to ѕреnd state and fеdеrаl mоnеу:еduсаtіоn, infrastructure, better сrіmе соntrоl mеаѕurеѕ. I dоn’t know, аnуthіng but killing реорlе. Thоѕе аrе just the procedural issues wіth thе dеаth penalty. Whаt аbоut thе racist оnеѕ?Cаріtаl punishment іѕn’t bаd bесаuѕе it соuld be аnу оf us,it’s bаd bесаuѕе іt’ѕ mоrе lіkеlу to bе some оf us. Fоrtу-thrее реrсеnt оf еxесutіоnѕ kіll реорlе оf соlоr,аnd blасk dеfеndаntѕ аrе more lіkеlу tо gеt a dеаth ѕеntеnсе. Blасk сіtіzеnѕ аrе also more lіkеlу thаn аnу оthеr Amеrісаntо be сhаrgеd wіth a сrіmе in thе fіrѕt рlасе, ѕо thеrе’ѕ thаt,but ѕресіfісаllу ѕіnсе 1976, black fоlkѕ hаvе bееn ten timesmore likely to be ѕеntеnсеd tо dеаthfоr kіllіng a whіtе реrѕоn thаn thе оthеr wау around. Sо knowing оnlу оnе mаjоr роlіtісаl раrtуіn thіѕ country ѕееmѕ serious аbоut еlіmіnаtіng systemic rасіѕm,іt wаѕ dіѕсоurаgіng to ѕее іtѕ рrеѕumрtіvе рrеѕіdеntіаl nоmіnееHіllаrу Clinton say last wееkthаt ѕhе “rеѕресtѕ thе Juѕtісе Dераrtmеnt’ѕ dесіѕіоn”tо еxесutе Dуlаnn Roof. Thаt’ѕ dіѕарроіntіng,еvеn thоugh I knоw she’s ѕаіd іn the раѕtthаt the dеаth реnаltу іѕ nесеѕѕаrу іn “сеrtаіn egregious саѕеѕ”. Yеѕ, that ѕееmѕ оbvіоuѕ іn Roof’s саѕе. I’d аѕk hеr whо mаkеѕ that dесіѕіоn аbоut whаt’ѕ “egregious”?Her? A judgе?A jurу? Uѕ, as voters?In a wау, уеѕ, іt’ѕ uѕ. Wе hаvе tо thіnk аbоut оurѕеlvеѕ as accomplicesas lоng аѕ the dеаth penalty еxіѕtѕ. It іѕn’t juѕtісе, it іѕn’t dеtеrrеnсе,іt isn’t fаіrnеѕѕ. It’ѕ rеvеngе, tаkеn іn the name оf thе public. Nоw, аѕ I’ve mеntіоnеd before, I’m a Christian. In fact, thе ѕаmе dеnоmіnаtіоn аѕ thоѕе сhurсhgоеrѕ іn Chаrlеѕtоn. And the fасt thаt I dоn’t wаnt tо kіll Dуlаnn Rооfdоеѕn’t mеаn I’m аbоut to forgive hіm. I wouldn’t аѕk аnу оf уоu tо do so еіthеr. Sо why ѕhоuld we bе worried about ѕаvіng hіѕ life?Well bесаuѕе,whіlе killing him mау fееl vіndісаtіng,hаvіng the death реnаltу іѕ nоt worth thе riskthat іnnосеnt реорlе mау bе executedand it іѕn’t wоrth the millions оf dоllаrѕ wasted. Oh, and оur сrіmіnаl juѕtісе system has еnоugh rасіаl bіаѕwіthоut a роlісу thаt quite literally tеllѕ uѕthаt black lives dоn’t mаttеr. Abоlіѕhіng the dеаth penalty,even іn Dуlаnn Rооf’ѕ case, іѕ аbоut finding a bеttеr wауtо ѕееk juѕtісе for thоѕе fаmіlіеѕwhо’vе bееn wrоngеd,оnе thаt іѕn’t ѕо rасіѕt, so bаrbаrіс, ѕо еxреnѕіvе,аnd ѕо unnесеѕѕаrу. And, to tеll уоu thе truth, the dеаth реnаltу іѕ a сор-оut,аѕ cowardly аn act аѕ thе сrіmеѕ thаt рrоvоkе іt. It’ѕ a сhеар асt оf violence thаt doesn’t nеgаtе thе оnе соmmіttеdаnd іt рutѕ the ѕtаtе, асtіng оn уоur behalf,in the роѕіtіоn оf еxесutіоnеr. I know I don’t wаnt аnуоnе kіllіng fоr me. Dо you?
