Hour 1: Cat Fight between Donald Trump and the Republican Establishment. Now that Trump has been on top of the polls for 3 months straight, they’ve realized that he can actually win. With his comments about donors controlling politicians, and their realization that they can’t control him, freaking out has begun. On top of all of that, he floated the idea of raising taxes on hedge funds. The ads are coming to take him down. Another Cat Fight between GW Bush and Ted Cruz. Bush spoke at an event for Jeb and admitted that he just doesn’t like Cruz, or his niceties toward Donald Trump. Bernie Sanders is losing ground on Hillary Clinton after the 1st Democratic debate. Video of Bernie Sanders responding to Trump calling him a Communist/Socialist by saying the taxes on the richest is going to be a damn lot higher than it is now. A study shows that many men are not interested in a relationship with a smart and successful woman. Fox News’ Kennedy spoke out about the study by assuming the female co-author of the study is an academic, and therefore can’t find a man, so she conducted the study to make an excuse for her loneliness. A study in Portland, OR showed that Black pedestrians at crosswalks were forced to wait longer than other races. More drivers stopped for White pedestrians than Black pedestrians.

Hour 1: Bernie Sanders is planning a major speech on Democratic Socialism since so many opponents have characterized it as evil. The numbers of people that view the term Socialism as a positive term has grown, while the number that view Capitalism as positive has dwindled. A Republican Congressman from Alabama has declared that he wants to impeach Hillary Clinton before she even gets the Democratic nomination. Now that Marvel has made Captain America a Black man and fighting anti-immigrant bigots, Fox and Friends has lost their mind over it. Video of the panel lamenting the decision by the comic book.

Hour 1: Ana, Iadarola, and Margaret Howell of The LipTV on the Power Panel. After Sanders supporters were outraged over media outlets claiming that Hillary Clinton won the democratic debate despite every poll showing Sanders as the winner, a new NBC poll was released today showing that she won by 23 points. When the details of the poll were looked into, it turns out that a majority of the people polled didn’t see the debate, illustrating that they were influenced by skewed media coverage. The moment during the debate where Sanders stood up for Clinton about her emails has gotten a lot of attention. Video of MSNBC’s coverage of the moment where they edited out Bernie’s indictment of the media in reporting on the emails. Another video of his full comment that included the media’s part in pushing the nonsensical email scandal. Bernie Sanders’ campaign turned down a $2700 donation from the CEO of the pharmaceutical company that raised the price of a very necessary drug for HIV patients to $750. The CEO thought his money would get him a meeting with Sanders where he could convince him to form a policy that benefits his industry. Shkreli took offense to the rejection.

Hour 2: Book stores in Germany will begin selling Mein Kampf after a ban was lifted on having it. Discussion of whether or not this could be dangerous. A study showed that religious beliefs go to the portion of the brain that copes with issues like death. It also showed that people shocked in that portion of their brain were more likely to be sympathetic to immigrants. A study showed that hangovers at work cost businesses billions of dollars in lost productivity.

Cenk and Ana. A new anonymous whistle blower has revealed more foreign policy secrets of the U.S. military and our drone program. The Intercept spoke to the source to report that the program is used more for simply killing people rather than capturing intelligence. It also revealed that 90% of the targets are innocent people, and how the Obama Admin categorizes unidentified dead bodies from the bombings as “enemies.” Cenk calls it an assassination program that indiscriminately kills tons of people around.

Cenk and Ana. Lamar Odom’s condition has worsened after being found in a coma at a brothel. Although he was on illegal drugs and acting irresponsibly, Cenk doesn’t agree with calls for the brothel to lose its license. A former Republican State Chairman tweeted that we should take guns away from Black people, as they are the most common killers of other Black people. Ana reads data that shows the heightened problem of White on White crime. Data shows that there has been roughly one toddler shooting/week this year.

Hour 1: Cenk and John is hosting. The debate from last night broke records for viewership. Despite several polls that showed Bernie Sanders won the debate based on viewers, multiple news outlets claimed that Hillary Clinton won the poll.

Jennifer Lawrence spoke out against the unfairness in Hollywood after the Sony hack revealed the discrepancy between male and female actors. Lawrence pointed out how women are more worried about negotiating their salaries than their male counterparts, as they’ll be seen as annoying, while men are seen as go-getters. Cenk only partially agrees with this. A 20 year old Oxford student resigned from her positions on several student organizations after admitting to having sex with someone that later told her it wasn’t consensual.

Planned Parenthood has decided to stop taking money at all for fetal tissue transport. Ana and Cenk are annoyed that Cecile Richards still hasn’t learned the lesson that she shouldn’t give any concession, as it will give Conservatives ammunition to claim their empty point is correct.

Cenk hosting today. In Sweden, a group of hipsters doing a photoshoot were confronted by police after they were notified that a group of terrorists were collecting. These hipsters were fully bearded, scaring the caller into thinking they were Muslim terrorists. A Black city councilman in Texas was approached by police that were called to his front yard on suspicion of drugs. He and his friends were out front practicing their frat’s step routine when he was tasered by the cops that were trying to arrest him. Video of the confrontation. A man shot and killed his wife in their home in the middle of the night when he suspected a home invader. While investigating the disturbance, he shot her in the chest with his shotgun. In another story, a woman called the paramedics to help her bleeding sister at home. When police responded to the call, the family’s terrier ran at the cop, which made him shoot, hitting their 4 year old daughter.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. After Ben Carson claimed to have been held up by a gunman in a Popeyes restaurant more people are investigating the validity of the story.

According to Baltimore police, they haven’t been able to find a police report of the incident. An anti-Islam protest in AZ was held over the weekend where the participants showed up with automatic rifles. Ana reads some of their deplorable quotes. Members of the pro-Muslim group to oppose the anti-Islam protest also showed up with guns. Another anti-Muslim protest in Ohio only had one woman, who was approached by Muslims that happily invited her into their mosque to learn more about Islam. In response to Texas’ law that allows concealed carry on college campuses, the movement #cocksnotglocks has sparked up where women carry big, pink dildos on campus. In response, gun advocates littered their website with angry messages, along with death threats. Ironically, carrying sex toys on campus could get them in trouble with the school.

Cenk and Ana hosting. Rupert Murdoch has apologized for a few tweets that suggested Ben Carson would be a “real” Black president when dealing with racial issues and supporting Black Americans. Ben Carson got a little confused during an interview on a business show about whether or not to increase the debt limit. Video of him continuously talking about the budget when asked about the debt. Cenk is amazed that Carson doesn’t know what the debt ceiling is. Video of Ben Carson’s appearance on another radio show where he detailed one time that a gun was pulled on him at a Popeyes.

In this case, the judge has ordered Cosby to give a deposition for the case, despite his lawyers attempts to stop it. A frat at the Univ of Indiana has been suspended after a video surfaced of initiated members being forced to give a woman oral sex while a bunch of frat brothers abuse them with kicks. Ana thinks that if the CEO of the frat is telling the truth about what’s happening, they should let it go. Cenk agrees. Due to the extremely burdensome rules being implemented in Texas upon abortion clinics, most have been forced to shut down, causing even more problems for women choosing to have one.
