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. Richard Fink, the EVP of Koch Industries, rails against raising the minimum wage, claiming a higher minimum wage would lead to company bankruptcy.  Cenk talks about the McCutcheon decision, breaking down political donation amounts by the number of wealthy donors, revealing most political donations come from .0001% of the population.  Sean McCutcheon defends money in politics, saying more donations lead to more freedom of speech and is not legalized bribery.
