Iadarola, Ana, and Jimmy Dore hosting. Bernie Sanders continues to make ground on Hillary Clinton in Iowa, but only with the speculation that Joe Biden will be in the race. Martin O’Malley and Bernie Sanders are both complaining about the DNC’s tactic of not scheduling many debates, and pushing the 1st one so far back, which benefits Hillary over the other candidates. Bernie Sanders responded to Democratic criticism about his lack of gun control measures by pointing out that the NRA gave him a D- on their grading list. Video of his defense. Talk about some troubling votes Sanders has had.

Andy Parker, the father of the Virginia reporter that was murdered last week has taken to interviews to announce his unrelenting pursuit of gun control. Videos of his CNN appearance.

Video of Megyn Kelly asking Parker about the racist allegations and how the cameraman took video of the killer before he died. President Obama has announced that Mt. McKinley in Alaska will be renamed to Denali, the term natives there have always used.

  1. correct me if i’m wrong, gun control hasn’t changed in 8 years of obama. Why would it be expected for bernie to make sweeping changes before he’s even in office? making it an election issue would be political suicide, coming from a canadian.

  2. Soooo happy to hear some Bernie perspective and NOT Cenk’s weird Larry Lessig or ignorant-Bernie perspective. Thanks folks. Cenk, WTF? You are off on an island somewhere when the real revolution is taking place now.

  3. Technology could easily make more canidate information available about canidates on the ballot and voting could easily be done remotely bypassing the original need of the electoral college.

  4. Hey. WOW.
    A whole hour w/o Trump~!
    And some serious Bernie.
    Could it be that the comments are actually being read~?
    Thanks.

    1. Watch the post games, Steve, Amir and Dave are all pushing to get more Bernie and Less trump. Trump mania has mostly to do with Cenks obsession to cover whats on tv.

  6. About the suing the gun manufacturer bill. He explained why he voted against that with an analogy. If somebody was hitting you with a baseball bat are you going to sue the baseball bat manufacturer?

  7. this bernie sanders segment honestly sounds like something you’d see from faux news or msnbc making excuses for a corrupt mofo

  9. I think more offensive than the electoral college is our system of a senate, where if I was in a state with two people, we two Senators would be as powerful as New York, California, or Texas.

    1. both were created to appease the aristocracy that founded this country and didn’t really believe in democracy.
