April 19, 2016 Hour 1

Cenk hosting today. As the primary in NY approaches, many Democratic voters have complained of being purged from the voter rolls. Specifically in Brooklyn, more than 126K Democrats were dropped since last October without their permission or knowledge. Coincidentally, Brooklyn was widely supportive of Bernie Sanders. Democracy Spring uprisings continue. Cenk reads excerpts from articles that sweep his activism under the rug, but began to pay attention now that Rosario Dawson and Ice Cream moguls Ben & Jerry have been arrested at the events. Video of a 10 year old kid at the events, protesting and understanding the issue. Donald Trump told a NY crowd about the disaster on 7/11 and how courageous people were. Video of the mistaken date from Trump. At another campaign speech in NY, Trump talked about how he helped clean up “a little bit” after 9-11 where he saw courageous people. Video of this lie. Roger Stone, a Republican strategist and TV pundit, has gone over the edge with his Trump advocacy. He spoke about the delegates that may not vote for Trump at the RNC, threatening to give out their hotel room numbers. He also went on to say that he’s not condoning violence upon them, but that if it somehow happens, it wouldn’t be his fault. Trump told a gaggle of reporters that the delegate system is corrupt and went on to tell them that he can bribe them for their votes by sending them on extravagant trips. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz told TYT Politics that the Democratic Party is able to absorb corrupt, and bought politicians that take money and orders from corporations. Video of her answer to Jordan Chariton. Another TYT Politics video of Barney Frank telling Chariton that Democrats should take money from large banks so that the GOP won’t take it all and win all the time. Despite his assertion that it does nothing to their Congressional votes, he has said in the past that it doesn’t make any sense to assume being paid by banks don’t affect their decisions
