No guest today because there are simply too many stories to get to. There’s the continued GOP war on people, news on the war in Libya, and Newt Gingrich waring with himself. On to the Majority Report Recap!
We start off today with the worthless James O’Keefe. And we literally mean “worthless” if you take his word for it. It seems he’s pleading for people to donate $50,000 so he can pay off the credit card bills rung up for the sham video against NPR. Sam calls Mr. O’Keefe out on his nonsense.
Sam discusses his thoughts on when the US should use its military around the world and Juan Cole’s piece Top Ten Ways that Libya 2011 is Not Iraq 2003.
Probable GOP 2012 candidate Newt Gingrich was for a no fly zone in Libya before he was against it before he was for it again, just not the way Obama did it.
Breaking: US to handover control of the Libyan no fly zone to NATO within the next few days.
Sam does a post-mortem on the tax debate from yesterday adding more facts he did not have off the top of his head. If you haven’t listened to the debate with John Nolte yet, check it out.
Time to play Obama Good News, Bad News. Ready?
Good News: The return of the already proven-to-not-create-more-jobs-but-to-make-the-rich-richer repatriation tax holiday has been dismissed by the White House.
Bad News: It was dismissed only as a standalone bill. It can still be considered as part of an overall reform bill.
The Japanese death toll has officially topped 10,000 people and workers still struggle with the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
Could a nuclear disaster happen in the US?
Why are we using Light Water Nuclear Reactors?
New oil slicks are popping up in the Gulf of Mexico as the Obama Administration OKs Chevron’s permit for new deep water drilling.
