Hour 1: Cenk is hosting. Trump promises to build an impenetrable, physical, tall, powerful, beautiful southern border wall. Homeland Security Secretary says many parts of the wall will actually be a high-tech, monitored fence. It will be some sort of “physical barrier”. Nunes will no longer be involved in the Russian probe investigation. Nunes says the claims against him are baseless, but will be stepping down from the investigation anyway. Conaway claims that Democrats inviting a Mexican band to perform after a Las Vegas presidential debate is just as bad as the GOP colluding with the Russians to influence the election. CNN reporter claims that progressives want to apply a “litmus test” for Dems to make sure they support single-payer healthcare. He claims that Democrats who live in states and districts that were carried in 2016 by Trump are certain to be sensitive to the political risks of supporting what Republicans call socialized medicine. He makes this assumption despite plenty of evidence that almost two thirds of Americans are for single-payer healthcare. Cenk urges people to sign the Justice Democrats petition to fight for medicare for all.

Cenk thanks members and reads out tweets. He talks about our recent victory in New Mexico to get money out of politics. Wolf PAC has over 35,000 volunteers. Common Cause is using their lobbyists to fight our efforts to try to get a constitutional convention to repeal Citizens United. Their plan is to nickel and dime the effort to get money out of politics. They’re lobbyists are crushing the efforts of Wolf PAC’s volunteers. Common Cause called Wolf Pac “Far Left” and Cenk a “Left-wing political commentator”. Cenk asks viewers to sign a petition saying they’ll never support organizations like Common Cause that fight against having a convention to get money out of politics. They’re idea is that status quo is better than having a convention. Cenk shows a video of Wolf-PAC volunteers who fought to get a vote to repeal money in politics in New Mexico.

Cenk thanks members and reads out tweets. Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner have been constantly fighting, according to Trump administration officials. Bannon recently called Kushner a “cuck” and a “globalist”. Bannon has also clashed with Gary Cohn, former president of Goldman Sachs and a close friends of Kushner. Bannon doesn’t like the power Kushner has been gaining in the administration. The GOP went forward with nuclear option to advance Neil Gorsuch to become the next Supreme Court justice. They wiped the filibuster the Democrats were going to do off the record. It normally takes a two-thirds vote, or 67 votes, to jettison Senate rules in the middle of a session. The fact that McConnell used the nuclear option to do it is a rare step that generates extreme ill-will in a historically deliberative body. Schumer noted that of all 147 cloture motions filed on judicial nominations in the history of the nation, 79 of them ― more than half ― were prompted by GOP blockades of Obama nominees in just the first six years of his presidency. From 2013 onward found that at least 34 of the 37 current Republican senators who were serving at the time denounced the ‘nuclear option’ as forbidden and a dangerous power grab.

Hour 2: Ana and Cenk are hosting. Cenk reads tweets. A woman in a restaurant get mad at couple for kissing in a restaurant. Ana commends the couple for keeping their cool during the whole situation. It turns out the woman began having mental issues starting in her early 20’s. She is also employed as a camgirl. Cenk and Ana hope the woman is able to get the mental health help she needs. The husband of a woman who voted for Trump has officially been deported. They told him to get his stuff, get in the back of a van, and drove him away. He didn’t even have a chance to speak to his lawyer. Cenk and Ana don’t feel bad for this woman because she chose to vote for Trump. Evangelical Christians are now reconsidering their support for Trump.

Cenk reads tweets. Rahm Emanuel doesn’t believe students should be able to graduate from high school unless you get a letter of acceptance from a college, community college, trade school, or the military. Ana says she doesn’t think politicians understand how difficult it is to even apply for colleges for a lot of people. Cenk thinks it might be a better idea to have kids assigned to a college counselor who help students figure out their plans for the future. Forcing people to apply and getting accepted into college is wrong. Ana and Cenk give Emanuel credit for Chicago’s community college program. Russia has banned a picture of Vladmir Putin in drag. Ana talks about the problem of having male politicians like Trump need their ego stroked constantly.
