Cenk and John hosting. Bill O’Reilly fought with Kirsten Powers over a debate about whether or not racism is an epidemic in the country. Videos of the two fighting over the state of racism. O’Reilly told Powers to stop snorting over the other guest before she asked if he has any Black friends. Bill Kristol also got argued down over his tweets claiming that the Left isn’t going to stop until all Confederate history is eliminated. Video of John Heilemann pointing out Kristol’s strawman argument.

Since 9/11, nearly 2x as many people have been killed by White terrorists than Muslims. A survey of police and sheriff’s depts cited anti-government entities as more dangerous than Al Qaeda based. Americans’ support for protesters speaking out is high unless its about Black Americans protesting. Black protesters also see their grievances as more legitimate than others.

While speaking at a shooting range, the AP’s photo depicted a poster of a gun on the wall pointed directly at his head. Audio of him telling Mark Levin that this would’ve been seen as an outrage if it were Hillary or Obama with guns being pointed at them, but not with Conservatives. Cenk points out how Cruz loves this trumped up controversy. The military’s zero civilian casualty target when going after ISIS has angered Conservatives like John McCain, who think this is useless, and “an extreme constraint.”

  1. Shame that Cenk doesn’t remember the Vegas shooting correctly. It was a Marsden flag draped over the shot officer, not a swastika. They were fresh from the Bundy standoff and were much more closely aligned with sovereign citizens than Nazis. ( Any neck tattoos withstanding )

  2. Wow, that last story made me sick to my stomach. I will never understand war-mongering conservatives like John McCain. Are they only driven by the money they get from weapons manufacturers? Ugh…

    (Great first hour, by the way.)

  3. I was at a range last week where a moron taking a double gun, crossed arms picture de facto pointed an actual gun at my head. No respect for range safety. I’m only whining about it hear to kick off my campaign for President. Next week I’ll come up with whacked out conspiracies and make my face look stupid and bam. Oval Office baby!

  4. Player works good for me. However, in the future, I think TYT should have a button where we can skip the Fox news segments and just go right to their analysis of it. My soul dies a little every time I hear Bill O’Reilly speak. Also, thanks to you guys for helping clear up the Trump face ban

  5. I wonder if Cenk has gotten the memo that the confederate surrender to the Union was unconditional rather than unilateral. OBTW, the “fuck you” punctuated rant was well stated otherwise.

  6. I don’t feel terrorized by any of these terrorists. I am a woman, all my life, everywhere I am, I know I could get attacked at any time. Sad but true,

  7. OOO Cenk says Fuck the confederacy. I love it. I want to post a clip of that on my twitter and facebook

  8. I don’t know about every one else but this video player is working way better for me than the previous one.

    1. Some people have issues using it on portable devices and I have confirmed it’s a bit laggy on my Nexus 5. On my Window laptop it works like a charm though.

  9. This video player is REALLY slow! I don’t mind waiting a few minutes for it to fully load but the last two days it’s been even slower. I tried to download the video but the file is way too big and it takes FOREVER to load. I didn’t intend to post a comment but if I can’t watch the entire show, it kind of defeats the purpose of subscription. Are there any plans to change the video player and maybe the entirely horrible layout of this entire website? Again, I love the content (which is the most important thing) but I’m just having a tough time accessing that great content. HATE the website LOVE TYT.
