Second, third, fourth political lives looks like he might have run out of political lives. scott walker is the least popular he has been in any of the times he has run for governor before. hes a boring white guy, but if scott walker is a spicy conservative, maybe they need a little niceness to kind of just -- >> walker has talked about being bland himself. >> walker is certainly bland personality-wise, but he isnt bland in terms of his policies. >> fair, fair. >> i remember when he was the front...

It out on every republican? >> greg: they dont like republicans. stewart is right. if you want the media to focus on you, the easiest thing to do is mention them. they are self obsessed and thin-skinned. cuomos instagram. it can be summarized as "love me." the media is like a self-driving car. push the button and get in the backseat and their insecurities do all the work. cnn is ripping fox news because they see fox news as a proxy for america. they cant stop. whats worse than fake news is the c...

Sure he could. he has unleashed forces in this country. they have to attack the press and change the subject because they are vulnerable on this problem. >> they may be vulnerable but the president is leaning in. i think its fascinating how much he has chosen to lean in on these very subjects and hes telegraphing he is going to do it even more over the next few days, he is using the language of invaders since the murders in pittsburgh, he has attacked the press since bombs were sent around. he i...

Im not asking immunity from criticism, but the way when the network commentators and even the gentlemen of "the new york times" enjoy a forum of comment and criticism of what they said is over. >> its still too early to say what itll have on alabama and the south. >> i just made this podcast mini series about this guy, about agnew. its supposed to launch tomorrow but we decided actually were just going to put it up tonight. so launch date is tomorrow. were putting it up tonight anyway. so you ca...

Anti-semitic hate speech. in the hours before he allegedly carried out the shooting he claimed that the hebrew immigrant aid society, a humanitarian nonprofit group that assists refugees brought immigrants to the united states to carry out violence. he also frequently posted about the migrant caravan, a major talking point among right wing commentators and president trump and his stupid followers running for republican seats who tend to just repeat it because they think it will work, even that t...

Aroused on any issue can speak to the world. what these platforms also do, though, is they give comfort to racists and homophobes and anti-semites. because of these social networks vaik find nelo bigoted people. and secondly the biggest moral arousal comes from the fact that people dividing us has actually become a business. we have a network in this country thats in the business of dividing us. okay? we know that. we have politicians who are in the business of dividing us. we have commentators ...

Everglades in order for these social media accounts to take what were saying seriously. this is not just democratic commentators that are receiving these sort of threats. conservatives are as well, and its not okay on either side. i do not agree with harassing, following, punching people in the face. i dont agree with any of it. >> but a public direct action is not morally or legally equivalent, even if it might be in someones face, quote unquote, to the violence were seeing right now? >> absolu...

Serious error. this happens to a lot of political commentators and hosts on television. >> are you going to follow-up now that we have seen what has happened this past week? >> i am. ive reported it to law enforcement authorities what happened to me. from now on, if i get a threat like this, im not going to social media. im going to the police. >> so the right way to handle this youre saying is go to the plus. >> absolutely. these websites are not doing anything about it. the fact that robert bo...

My panel is back with me. it was not just commentators on fox news to try to kill federal postal workers and kill two former presidents and another dozen people just to make the republicans look bad. this filtered from there on down. lets play this cut. this is a supporter of donald trump putting forth his own personal theory as to who did these dbombings. >> hillary clinton probably sent hers to herself. >> you dont think this guy sent these bombs? >> no. probably not.
