  1. I LOVE Kim! She’s awesome, Nerd Alert kicks butt and I love her getting the chance to lead the main show again with Ana there to help her because I KNOW we can get Kim up to the A-Team status with a bit of extra exposure to her! Thanks TYT for continuing to develop your other co-hosts, it’s awesome on it’s own but it also adds great variety to the discussions! :-)

    On the “Police State” story: I don’t understand the video; to me it look liked the cop did HIT the guy with the car, but where exactly does it show the criminal getting “run over”? I get from the 2nd video that the cop lied about “hitting a stop sign”, but based on the first video I see a criminal running away from the police and getting hit by the car and falling to the ground. It still took multiple officers to arrest the criminal and he still had the strength to resist arrest and not cooperate with the cop putting his hands behind his back. Look, the dude shouldn’t get hit by a car, but he’s a thug and doing criminal activity so it’s a wash to me. I don’t think the cop should have been fired based on this.

    Question: Am I the only one who doesn’t know what Cross Fit is?

    1. I agree, they needed to stop saying the cop ran over the guy & should have just said he was hit by the cop.
      That being said I don’t see how you can think it’s ok for the cops to hit a person just because they are running from said cops. I don’t care if that guy(I don’t think we should be labeling him a “thug”, as we have seen time & time again just because you’re black & had prior convictions doesn’t mean your a “thug” just a victim of a systemically racist justice system) did break the law & then run from the cops, that doesn’t give them the right to hit him with their car. Also he was lying on the ground not moving (cuz getting hit by a 2 ton vehicle causes injuries) when those multiple officers jumped on top of him to cuff him. He wasn’t resisting arrest or trying to flee at that point. I feel like your attitude of “well if you didn’t want the police to brutalize you, you shouldn’t have committed a crime” is a part of why juries(usually all white juries – I am assume you are white, sorry if I am wrong) refuse to convict cops of murder when they kill unarmed citizens. That poor guy is a human being and should be treated w/basic human decency. Also the theory is that in the USA we are innocent until proven guilty, right? Is this how you treat innocent citizens?

  2. Leakers tried under the espionage act is like being charged for the crime you reported to crime stoppers.

  3. Modern day slavery: Wouldn’t that be just if the restaurant owner’s fine went to the victim not to the state?

    1. Brogan it’s sad news because that was THE NEWS today! Ana doesn’t control what happens in the country on any given day, in case you didn’t know that. I love Ana and think she’s awesome!

    1. Yes. But does one really need a baseball hat indoors? It blocks view of his eyes – and whatever for?

      1. Maybe the studio lights? Lol Idk. Hat or no hat, I always enjoy hearing his opinion & perspective.

      2. I agree. Here in Texas at least wearing a hat indoors is considered rude. I guess homeboy is bald or something and trying to hide it maybe?

        1. Lol, I’m in Ohio and almost no one takes their hats off when they go indoors. But that might just be an Ohio thing, we went for Trump(not me personally, I voted for Jill Stein) so obviously we aren’t all that bright or mannered.
          I’ve seen Mark w/o the hat(maybe several weeks ago on the main show actually) & if I remember correctly his hair line is receding.

  7. Damn Ana, I thought Kim was leading the second hour. Come on, do better or stop bitching when Cenk does that shit to you. Still think you’re amazing though❤️
    ❤️ Kim & Maytha too.

  10. Ana is constantly crushing it with informed perspectives and grounded rhetoric! Been a fan for a few years, love for Ana continues to grow unexpectedly.
