Hour 1: Cenk hosting. More details from the San Bernardino terrorist attack. The dead suspects were a couple that came very well prepared to attack the holiday party at the office building. The man was a Muslim that was born and raised here in America, and his fiance was here on a Visa.

Video of Carly Fiorina telling Morn Joe that she is for allowing people on the watch list because her family friend was on it for no real reason, and they have guns. There was another mass shooting yesterday in Savannah, Georgia but it was swallowed up by the one in San Bernardino. The New York Daily News headline after the latest shooting confronts political leaders that tweeted they were praying for the victims and families by saying, “God Isn’t Fixing This.” The NYDN concluded that these lawmakers are only giving lip service instead of actually doing something about the gun problem in America.

Bill O’Reilly also headlined the Fox News defense of anti-choice terrorists last night. Video of him saying PP isn’t under threat, but that they deserve the criticism directed at it. Video of O’Reilly claiming that blaming Conservative talk for this shooting is just like him blaming all Black people for one particular murder by Black people.
