Ali Velshi vs Jim Jordan - push back to a lie

[Stinky The Clown]

Velshi had Jordan on to talk about health care. Jordan is talking a mile a minute in wacky gish gallop. Then he goes into the LIE that people from other countries come to US for medical care. Velshi says where are the people from Sweden and Norway and Canada and (other countries). Jordan Says "people from Canada come here all the time" to which Velshi tells him how he (Velshi) is a Canadian, grew up in Canada, Canada is his home, and he knows NO ONE who ever came to the US for health care. He then challenges Jordan to cite some facts or statistics, to which Jordan goes "Yeah, but . . . . and . . . . oh yeah? . . . . . says who?" He sounded like a 10 year old.

NO ANSWER

Regained compose and went back to the gish gallop.

It was VERY funny. Some much needed levity in a the middle of this shitstorm that is the GOPee-controlled American government.

1. I love Ali Velshi.

I knew someone would pick him up after Al Jazeera America went off the air. I wonder where Tony Harris landed? He was a quirky guy & another one I liked.

5. I just wish they hadn't yanked Tamron Hall off to give Velshi a slot nt

7. Tamron didn't renew her contract I thought ?

[Stinky The Clown]

10. Hall's leaving was Hall's doing

I like her, but she is a very difficult person to live with or work with.

2. GOPee-controlled by Russian operatives with the blessing

of trump and Co.....some say we are in for a bumpy ride..I say we are all on the edge of a Grand Canyon like crater....let's see which reps and senators step up - and which step into this it!

Tks for the laugh...

3. Ali Velshi is growing on me

Didn't like his aggressive pro-business attitude I saw in Ali when he started MSNBC but he spoke truth to power this morning when I heard and I am paraphrasing "name me 1 country where private healthcare is working" and that took the breath from Jordan necause there isn't one.

I want some more of Ali

4. Velshi challenged Jordan to return to the show with documentation

that backed up his rhetoric.

8. There is none. Sure, many of the best doctors are here, but so are many of the

best engineers, scientists, authors, actors, lawyers, etc.

Has nothing to do with the insanity of continuing to allow a for profit motive to exist between the patient and death.

9. Exactly. nt

6. Maxine Waters on now, talking Russian involvement, impeachment.
