Ben, Iadarola, Jimmy, and Brian Unger hosting TYT. Conservatives convened today at the Values Voter Summit. Video of some of the crazy moments at past summits is shown. Videos of Michele Bachmann’s speech this morning that focused on Obama’s approach to dealing with terrorists and specifically ISIS is also played. Ben asks who’s dumber, Bachmann or Sarah Palin. John reads through some of Bachmann’s dumber moments, while Ben remembers the video of her talking about 3% of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Videos of Texas Lt Governor claiming that prayer rugs have been found on the Texas side of the Mexican border due to the terrorists crossing are shown. He also used scare tactics to tell the audience that these killers will be in their backyard, tomorrow! Ben tells the depressing story of peeing next to a younger guy during the break. Video of a Freedom to Marry ad that compares the limited rights of gay Americans to everyone else is played. John wonders if Ben likes this ad as much as the Conservative one from yesterday. Americans for Prosperity, a Koch Brothers Group, has sent out mailers to potential voters in North Carolina filled with misinformation and blatantly wrong info on how to register and when to vote. The objective is to frustrate these citizens to the point of making them give up on registering.
