Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz, and John Iadarola hosting from YouTube Space LA. Cenk gives an Indiegogo campaign update and shows pics from Jenny taken on the road with Cenk’s bobble-head doll. President Obama apologizes to those who will lose their plan under the new ACA legislation. He didn’t really apologize for misleading anybody or why he or his staff thought it was necessary to do so. Was the apology even necessary to begin with given that even with the loss of existing plans under the ACA, 97% will end up having better plans anyway. Nearly 5 million people will not be included in the expansion of Medicaid under the ACA, due to state-level cuts and blocks by GOP governors. 11 of the 14 Republican Senators up for re-election next cycle are sponsoring an abortion ban to at least appear more conservative to their constituents for the upcoming primary challenges from the right-most wing of the GOP and/or Tea Party. The bill doesn’t have a chance of actually passing. It is mostly posturing and political theater. New information has been revealed that security contractor Dylan Davies AKA “Morgan Jones” lied to 60 Minutes during his interview regarding Benghazi. Lara Logan who reported the segment was forced to issue an apology for 60 Minutes.
Cenk updates Indiegogo and reads #TYTLive tweets. Super Typhoon Hyian has made landfall in the Philippines. Hyian might be the strongest storm ever recorded. The category 5 storm covered the equivalent distance between Canada and Florida and had an eye the size of Germany when landfall was made. New climate change estimates regarding economic and health impacts have been released. Things are not looking good.
A new Texas tax rebate for owners of electric vehicles will not include the owners of cars made by Tesla because of lobbying efforts made by car dealerships not to include those models. More money in politics bullshit resulting in nonsensical legislation.
