Hour 1 Segment 1 Cenk hosting today. Mitt’s continuing gaffes as he wrapped up his overseas tour. Video of Romney denying that he insinuated that Palestinian culture is the reason its GDP is worse than Israel's. Video of Israel’s Defense Minister saying that the Obama Administration has done more for Israel’s security than any other president. Video of Romney praising Poland’s economy, touting its departure from government oversight. This insinuated that we should take their situation as an example for our economy. In reality, Poland’s government control over expenditures is higher than ours. They also have free healthcare, the state fully funds university educations, and it gives families $300 for each baby they have, and $600 to poor families. Video of Romney spokesperson Rick Gorka telling the screaming American press in Poland to kiss his ass and respect the holy site they were visiting. Cenk goes off on the fact that Romney has a dressage horse named Rafalca! Sen Reid relayed a story from a guy that claimed he worked with Romney, saying that he didn't pay taxes for 10 years.
