Time to Rethink the War on Terror…

What Happens to Cuba When the Embargo is Lifted?

Can Our Current Health Infrastructure Contain Ebola?

Full Show 10/22/14: Will Obama End the War on Terror?

Thom discusses whether the U.S. is doing enough to combat Ebola with Georgetown University Professor Lawrence Gostin and whether Obama will end the embargo on Cuba with the Ocean Doctor’s David E. Guggenheim. Tonight’s “Lone Liberal Rumble” discusses Gov. Chris Christie’s blatant lies on the minimum wage, Christie’s hope that more GOP Governors will suppress the vote and how economists are recommending returning to a top tax rate of 90%. In tonight’s “Daily Take” Thom calls on Obama to once and for all end the war on terror.
