The great news of the decision against private prisons.

Then Jimmy Dore of the Jimmy Dore Show joins Michael to discuss his “slamming” of Sam Seder that everyone is talking about. Jimmy’s frustration with media liberals surprised Hillary is a war hawk. Jimmy recommend the movies “Tropic Thunder” and “The Heiress.”
