Podcast 79 Clip - "The Selfie Awards" - 9/23/13

Brain Trust Live #162 - #ThisIsACoup and Greek Debt Segment

We love to find the funny in each week's political shenanigans, but this week we had an unfunny question that was too serious to ignore: When can we start calling the NRA what it is - a terrorist organization?  We lay out our argument in this excerpt from our regular podcast.  Instead of simply calling for sanity, we call for a discussion on what terrorism, and specifically domestic terrorism, really is, and why a need for campaign finance reform is at the root of the problem.  Check out our full podcast on iTunes or at our website (www.braintrustlive.com)!
