30% of Iowa Republicans believe that Islam should be outlawed in America. 21% said they’re not sure. Mike Huckabee went on a Conservative show where he claimed President Obama pretends to be a Christian while limiting the rights of Christians. He told another host that he doesn’t want everyone to vote, only the people that vote for him, since so many people are stupid. Jeremy Corbyn’s win to become the head of UK’s Labour Party has panned out to large numbers of people joining the Party. Cenk sees this as a worldwide trend; that Progressives are the voice of the general population. Outline of Corbyn agenda.

New research shows that more people have died while trying to take a selfie than those in a shark attack. The victims tried to take selfies in dangerous situations. A Michigan woman has received a $40K settlement from the city of Dearborn after being arrested by an officer that got irate when she didn’t tell him she is HIV positive before he touched her.

Donald Trump went back to Hewitt’s radio show and gave a rambling answer on his position regarding global warming. Video of his empty answer. John goes unchained on his stupid answer. Afghanistan’s practice of child sex abuse continues while American troops are stationed there and experience the horror. Since they are our allies, troops are told to stay out of it and are sent away if they interfere. The latest comments from Ted Nugent on Facebook that suggest Israel was responsible for the 9/11 attacks is the latest instance that confirms Cenk’s worry that Conservatives have opened Pandora’s Box on hating the next group after Black people and Muslims. Jews were previously off limits until Ann Coulter attacked during the GOP debate.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Kim Davis interview with ABC News was filled with self aggrandizing quotes and clueless disdain for gay people. Videos of some moments.

Cenk is hosting the 1st hour. Scott Walker drops out of the GOP race. Sarah Palin speaks out on Ahmed. She is suspicious about Ahmed’s homemade and him not answering to authority. Richard Dawkins felt that everyone was fooled. He believes that Ahmed planned this whole thing about the clock he invented to get media attention and to get arrested. Bill Maher feels Ahmed should get an apology, however, he feels in the last 30 years that young muslims have caused some serious violence.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. The House has voted to defund Planned Parenthood. It is a symbolic vote since it cannot pass the Senate or the President’s desk. A man claimed that Black Lives Matter activists spray painted obscenities all over his van that had “Police Lives Matter” on it. It turned out he did the vandalism himself. He called out for financial help, which got him over $5000 from suckers that hate the movement. An ex hedge fund manager bought the rights to a drug that treats a life threatening parasitic infection only to raise the price from $13 to $750. David Cameron is accused of having sex with a dead pig when he was in college.

Cenk is hosting. There were several funny moments during the debate. Trumps weird facial expressions, Jeb bush standing on his tippy toes, high fives, and awkward handshakes. During the debate, Trump and Fiorina attack each other on bad business they have done in jobs. Fiorina talks about what she had done with companies, however some of the things she did was misleading. Trump was telling the truth about how bad she did with H.P.  Fiorina was fired and she is considered the worst CEO of all time according to NY Times. Cenk points out that the reason Carly Fiorina is running for president is to be the attacker of Hillary Clinton without being seen as the sexist GOP. This was illustrated when one big conservative Super PAC gave $5 million to Cruz’ campaign, it also gave $500K to Carly’s campaign. One of her fundraisers admitted that they told her they want her in the race to attack Hillary.

Japanese was fighting over parliament.  Several states have the death penalty, however California has more death sentence than any others state.

Cenk and Ana for SCS to start the show. A 14 year old Muslim high school student was arrested after showing up to school in Irving, TX with a clock he built for a science project. The teachers got scared when they thought it was a bomb and called police. The boy likes to tinker and build things. The mayor of Irving released a statement touting the safety protocol of the school standards for safety, without apology. She also has a history of pushing Islamophobia within the town a few years ago when she pushed local officials to act against the “Sharia Law” that was infiltrating the city. The picture of the kid being taken away in handcuffs with his NASA t-shirt on had an emotional effect on Ana. The positive reaction to the kid was wonderful, including President Obama offering him a trip to the White House. Comedian Steve Rannazzisi has admitted to lying about his story of where he was on 9/11. His story detailed how he was inside the South Tower of the WTC and his escape.

Jimmy, Cenk, Ana, and John are hosting. Hungary acted out this week to put a boarder up between Hungary and Serbia. Some of the refugees fled a war zone to go to Hungary for freedom but instead Hungary is treating them with brutality and inhumane. Mike Huckabee thinks that the refugees are coming to freedom for cable tv and other perks. Elizabeth Warren wants to pass a bill to stop companies from doing a credit checks before hiring them.

The star of Entourage tweeted an image of a meme that mourned Americans lost on 9-11 as well as the tons of Iraqis lost in the war we shouldn’t have started. Outrage ensued. Cenk reminds everyone that people like Glenn Beck called the families of victims of 9-11 whiners that want something from the government. Miss Tennessee of the Miss America pageant gave a thoughtful answer on funding Planned Parenthood, which sparked anger from Dana Loesch. Sarah Silverman addressed many comedians’ decision to not perform at colleges because they’ve become ultra PC.
