Hour 1: Power Panel-Ben, Cenk, Jimmy, and John. Ted Cruz went on Jan Mickelson’s radio show to talk about how much he’s against immigrants just days after Mickelson proposed using illegal immigrants as slaves. Cenk now thinks that Cruz stands a good chance of winning the nomination as the crazy Trump alternative. Video of Cruz claiming to have been speaking out against birthright citizenship 4 years ago when no one else was calling for an end to it. John points out that 4 years ago, Cruz openly spoke out in favor of birthright citizenship. Video of Mickelson’s recent proposal to institute slavery for illegal immigrants. Discussion about the seemingly nonexistent bottom to the GOP’s hateful rhetoric. Amanda Terkel put together a list of Americans that would’ve never been allowed to be citizens if we rejected birthright citizenship the way many presidential candidates propose. The top 5 includes Marco Rubio and Bobby Jindal.

Hour 2: Ana replaces John for SCS. One of the unmentioned negative side effects of the Ashley Madison info leak is that in many countries around the world, gay affairs and extra marital affairs are punishable by death. Many people’s lives are potentially in danger. After the movie Straight Outta Compton has been released, some of the women that Dr. Dre assaulted in the past came forward to complain about the violent aspect of his life not being portrayed. Dre released an extensive apology. Discussion about why he made this strategic move.
