Cenk hosts TYT. Steve Doocy of Fox News is calling out President Obama for the Ebola Czar post and wonders why there is no Surgeon General. He fails to mention that it's because his nomination “is tied up in politics” in addition to the NRA not being a big fan of President Obama’s nomination for Surgeon General. Jimmy John’s sandwich shop is being sued for making all employees sign a non-competition clause, including non-management positions like delivery truck drivers and sandwich makers. Weak criticism from Howard Fineman of President Obama over his record regarding healthcare, border security, the Syrian “red line,” and the Ebola outbreak. Elizabeth Warren pursues a more substantial critique of President Obama on Wall Street and the bankers and says, “when the going got tough, his economic team went with Wall Street.” Turkey has pursued airstrikes on Kurdish rebels in the Hakkari province near the border of Iraq. The Koch brothers are organizing their rich donors with “dark money” in a new Super PAC called “Freedom Partners Action Fund” with 25 million already in the bank. One of the donors, Ronnie Cameron, a 69 year old Arkansas poultry producer, is donating over the concern that his grandchildren will live under the threat of communism. Democratic candidate, Wendy Davis, is running an ad against Republican Greg Abbott for US Senate in TX, criticizing his record on tort reform. However, Sean Hannity and Greg Abbott are playing the victim by showing Greg Abbott in a wheelchair. Wendy Davis appears on MSNBC with Andrea Mitchell and defends the ad. Alexander Stubb, Finland’s Prime Minister, claims that the IPhone is killing the economy of Finland. An update on the TYT Progressive Petition is given, with Neil Degrasse Tyson making a strong  appearance in second place and Elizabeth Warren in first place.
