Have Americans all but given up on solving the problem of persistent poverty in the United States? Have our police officers increasingly adopted a “shoot first, ask questions later” approach to civilians? Are the leaders of the Republican party lying to their own party faithful? And does the Girl Scouts sweet, friendly exterior hide a more sinister, pro-communist agenda?

The panel tackles these controversial topics, along with questions like whether ex-gay conversion therapy represents protected political speech, just what message street artist Banksy hoped to send by anonymously selling his art on the streets of Manhattan and whether there is too much pressure on women to dress in sexy costumes on Halloween.

All this and another patented Ana Kasparian #NoFilter rant, this time taking on the media for poking fun of a man suffering from body dysmorphic disorder, on this week’s episode of “The Point with Ana Kasparian.”
