Cenk hosts TYT. RNC co-chair campaigned for Scott Walker in Wisconsin and while trying to understand why he’s in so much trouble, she told the crowd that Wisconsin may not have very smart voters. Ohio Gov Kasich is also in trouble, so he’s embracing Medicaid expansion, a key portion of ObamaCare, which got him in trouble with the GOP, so he’s trying to tell everyone that the healthcare reform had nothing to do with the expansion. The GOP’s nightmare that ObamaCare is working is coming true, because they have to accept it while bashing it. Videos of Bill O’Reilly claiming that the reason Americans are still in favor of Democratic candidates is because of emotion, that the Dems have promised to selfish constituents are played. New York Times story about the conflicting Republican ads on immigration for this election are examined. In states with a low Hispanic population, the ads are vehemently angry, but in states with high populations of Latinos, the ads are catering to them. Video mashups of the contradictory ads are shown. Sarah Palin’s PAC has raised $2.7 million with the promise to promote Republican candidates, but only gave $150K to candidates, only 5.5% of the money. During this election cycle, the PAC has $1.4 million on hand, and only gave $45K. The rest, and majority of the money went to her consultants, her book publisher, hotel stays, SUV rentals, and travel. Palin’s personal lifetime political donations total $628. Lawrence Lessig’s PAC, MayDay is looking to raise money to go after the elected officials that have benefitted and gone corrupt due to money in politics. GOP Rep. Fred Upton, head of the Energy and Commerce Committee isn’t very happy with this idea, so his staff is threatening the CEOs of companies that have contributed to MayDay by disregarding any of their interests that come across his table while he’s in charge. Upton proves the point of MayDay by illustrating the level of corruption he’s involved in. In America’s efforts to combine the war on terror with the war on drugs, we’ve spent $7.6 billion to fight opium in Afghanistan, but in that span, it has grown exponentially in the country. A poll on how disaffected people are with their government showed that the nations with the worst approval had the most perceived government corruption. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen spoke about how the inequality in the U.S. greatly concerns her, but didn’t hint that she may actually come after the banks that have exacerbated this problem.
