We hope to see you there. Thanks for watching. Im al sharpton, hardball starts right now. A tail of dark sposs. Lets play hardball. Good evening. Lets start with the right wing efforts to scare off people with benghazi and scare off minorities who might vote democrat without outright voter suppression. This is aimed at the elections this november, obviously. One, drive up the suspicious right, including the Second Amendment people by saying the ghovt is lying to them about the death of u. S. Diplomats, about the irs, about fast and furious to catch cross border drug dealers. Two, change and restrict voter laws to discourage and confuse democratic voters. Bottom line, a big republican victory this november. A veritable thumping of the democrats, set setting the stage of two years of administ
On the record with Greta Van Susteren is up next. See you tomorrow. This is a fox news alert. The secretary of defense is warning, warning every single american about isis. Isil is as sophisticated and well funded as any group that we have seen. Theyre beyond just a terrorist group. They marry ideology, a sophistication of strategic and tactical military prowess. They are tremendously well funded. Oh, this is beyond anything that we have seen. So we must prepare for everything. He says we must prepare for everything, you can hear it in his voice, the pentagon is in a crisis mode. Meanwhile, across the potomac river, the lights are out at the white house. No one is home. President obama still on vacation. And today, he was back on the golf course, that is despite being slammed from the left and the right. Democrats and republicans both slamming him about playing golf yesterday, and that was just minutes after talking to the nation about the beheading of an american journalist, and john
Your home tonight. Fair, balanced and unafraid. Greta goes on the record right now.

Representative peter king son othe Homeland Security committee e joins us. Good evening, sir. Good evening, greta. Well, obviously, isis is not deterred by our strategy, at least not yet. They executed a third. Your thoughts tonight, sir . Well, first of all, this just proves, greta, that they are evil, diabolical organization and we have to do Everything Possible to

Carnage at, yet another u. N. Schoolhousing refugees in gaza. The third time they have bombed the u. N. Run school. The state department was appalled by the disgraceful shelling outside the school. There can be no question of the state identity . No, absolutely, no. There was encouraging news about an american doctor infected with ebola. I cant think of a better place in the world, other than Emory University hospital, to care for this patient. The plane has picked up the second ebola patient to go to georgia. Congress has left the building. Leading the president promising to go solo on the humanitarian crisis at the border. So thats not disagreement between me and the house of republicans.
