Little guy his entire career. Its over for you. Its terminal. Now he knows what its like to have people gang up on him. A 2. 5 million fine and a lifetime ban. That was the penalty doled out this afternoon by nba commissioner adam silver as he announced the eagerly anticipated results of an investigation into racist remarks that silver confirmed were those of l. A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling. The hateful opinions, voiced by that man, are those of mr. Sterling. The views expressed by mr. Sterling are deeply offensive and harmful. That they came from an nba owner only heightens the damage and my personal outrage. Silver said sterling himself acknowledged that it is his voice on the tape. A recording that has created the most high profile crisis for the nba in years. The commissioner added that sterling did not, to silvers knowledge, express any remorse or other views about his remarks. And while 2. 5 million is but a fraction o ....
The man who got it all started is my first guest tonight. After ben affleck, tv shows bill maher and actor sam harris held an active debate. Should we be able to criticize iran . They are the motherlode of bad ideas. I think its racist. Its gross, its racist. We need to get beyond this shallow debate. This is what islam is, this is what muslim people are. Theres isis, theres global jihadists. The muslims are this, the muslims are that. How about the billion people that are fanatical. You are not listening to what we are saying. Its not often that a tv talk show argument gets talked about more than a few minutes after that tv show ends. But a batch of articles continue to appear today, including Nick Christophs in the new york times, about the argument that ben affleck and Nick Christoph had with bill maher and sam harris on his show saturday night. It was, quote, a tv brawl. ....

Harrisperry. We have breaking news from the middle east this morning. Dozen of turkish hostages have been released. They returned this morning to cheering crowds. It was feared for the hostages safety that kept them from getting in the fight with isis. And this Week Congress voted on the very fight, agreeing to authorize the United States military to train and arm syrian rebels. It was the first fullment of a request made by president obama. The response was overwhelming. 7822 in the senate. We heard republicans saying things in support of the president and his authority. I frankly think the president s request is a sound one. Theres a lot more we need to be doing. Theres no reason for us not to do what the president asked us to do. What would our enemies and allies think if we rejected the president s authority to do this . So yes, congress did something in twine etc. Vacation ....
