Cenk Hosting. Heather Childers tweets her opinions about ISIS, begging Obama to take action against the Islamic State. Geraldo Rivera steps in, suggesting US beheads the ISIS members. In a recent speech, Joe Biden echoes these sentiments, claiming the US will “follow [ISIS] into the gates of hell,” and Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty appears on Hannity, reading from the Bible and relating verses to his opinions of ISIS, saying the group needs to be converted or killed. Cenk explains terrorist actions against the group will only continue the cycle of violence–ISIS can not be stopped by threats of bombs and bloodshed. Cenk then explains the history of Saudi Arabia and the region’s ideological background leading to ISIS, as well as their link to the oil industry. Libya continues to rapidly dissolve after 11 commercial jets go missing, feared to be under the control of Ansar al-Sharia. |

Cenk hosting. ISIS has posted another video of a 2nd journalist Steven Sotloff being beheaded. They demanded Americans stop bombing them or else they’d kill another after James Foley’s execution was distributed. Sotloff’s mother plead for her son’s life, but that hasn’t worked. Videos of Fox News’ KT McFarland said that Obama has his head in the sand, causing another American to lose his head. McFarland politicized this issue immediately by connecting it to our borders and hating on Latino immigrants. Six militants were killed in Somalia by the American military. This random bombing has Cenk asking how many more places around the world we can possibly be attacking while wondering why we’re always caught up in a war. A video of Libyan militants has surfaced of them partying by the pool of the American embassy they just took in Tripoli. Videos of Louie Gohmert trashing the DREAM Act with several bad zingers. He and Tucker Carlson speculated that many immigrants are claiming to be school aged children when they’re actually men. The war between Russia and Ukraine continues to escalate. Their strategy is to send troops into Eastern Ukraine a little bit at a time while the rest of the world watches, but does nothing. |
