A Vermont State Senator has been arrested for sexual assault and also solicited sex with housing tenants in place of rent.

Some politicians and lobbyists are offering constituents to pay thousands of dollars to go to Taylor Swift concerts with them.

Hour 1: Cenk hosting today. Mike Huckabee has announced his candidacy for president. Cenk goes through the details of who he is and where he lies on policies. Video of Huckabee’s announcement from Hope, Arkansas. Economic conservatives that only care about tax cuts for the rich have a serious problem with him since he’s not big on corporate handouts and zero taxes. A searing ad from Club for Growth takes Huckabee down on the subject, masking it as his policies tearing the economy apart. Mitt Romney and Fox’s Brian Kilmeade criticized the Maryland prosecutor, and spoke out in favor of Baltimore cops, no matter what the situation is. Video of Romney claiming that Hillary’s comments about the mass incarceration of many in the Baltimore area is troubling because she’s pandering to Black voters.

Hour 2: Ana joins Cenk for SCS. A 5 year old boy that has special needs (ADHD, OCD) was handcuffed by police after he threw an epic meltdown at school.

Hour 1: Cenk and John Iadarola hosting. Carly Fiorina has announced her campaign to run for president on the GOP side. Video of her announcement campaign. John dives into Fiorina’s record as CEO of Hewlett Packard. Video of Fiorina’s old Senate campaign ad that featured a hilariously fake evil sheep. Ben Carson has also announced his bid to become the next president. John reads through some of Carson’s craziest quotes. A waitress in Kansas decided to give the governor a good political statement when she noticed that he was sitting in her section at the restaurant she worked at. Upon delivering the check to him, she cut out the “tip” section and wrote in for him to “tip the schools” since his policies strip the school system in favor of the rich. Despite the note, Brownback left a 10% tip for her. Cenk asks John, a former waiter, if this move was generous or dirty since it was only 10%.

Hour 2: Ana replaces John for SCS. The investigation into the shooting of Tamir Rice is slowly ongoing by authorities as they’ve asked the Rice family to drop their civil suit so that the murderous officers can be protected in their criminal case without their civil suit comments being used against them. Before the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight happened on Saturday night, the media closely covered Mayweather’s history of domestic violence that was previously swept under the rug. In response, the Mayweather crew denied press credentials to Rachel Nichols and Michelle Beadle. Rick Santorum spoke out in favor of Bruce Jenner’s gender identity story, claiming that “if he says he’s a woman, then he’s a woman.” Throughout his seemingly thoughtful statement, Santorum mentioned “business” multiple times. Cenk points out that gay business leaders that give them money probably spoke out and told these open bigots to STFU with their anti-gay rhetoric. Others in the business community that aren’t gay are worried about how homophobes are now in the minority, which could hurt their bottom line with consumers.

Conservative attacks on Marilyn Mosby began immediately, disparaging her motivations and background in relation to this case about cops. Fox News’ Todd Starnes tweeted that Mosby has declared a war on law enforcement, leading the way for other idiotic tweets. Videos of Fox News’ John Scott and Judge Ferrer disputing the validity of Mosby and the charges. The man who taped the arrest of Freddie Gray was later arrested by Baltimore police when they posted pictures of him, claiming he was wanted.

Hour 2: Ana replaces John for SCS. $20 million has been promised from the DOJ for implementation of body cameras in police departments across the country.

They were also being held with no formal charges and without a bail being set. Cenk talks about the most egregious parts of the treatment, including toilet patrol.

Texas Rep Bill Flores told Tony Perkins that the fallout in Baltimore is due to the breakdown of the family, which is due to gay marriage.
