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.

Scientists in South Africa have discovered a potentially new species that seems to be related to humans. They’re calling it Homo naledi.

Videos of Trump saying similar things about his daughter in the past.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. NYPD tackled a Black man while he talked on the phone on the street. After the officer without a uniform or badge assaulted the man, they found out that it was former tennis star James Blake. NYPD apologized to Blake, which illustrates that they wouldn’t care about it if they randomly attacked an unknown Black person. The Daily Beast uncovered a study that showed a phenomenon within the gay dating community that openly and harshly discriminates certain races in their dating profiles. The question of whether or not sexual racism is a thing was asked by another study. Cenk doesn’t think we can judge people’s racial preferences when it comes to sex and dating. Cenk gives his theory on why this seems to be more prevalent in the gay community.

Cenk hosting today. A Christian gun manufacturer has developed a new Muslim killing AR-15 called The Crusader. It has a Bible scripture etched onto each one that vows to kill its enemies. Video of the developer talking about the gun and firing it. A Muslim flight attendant is complaining that she has been suspended for not serving alcohol to passengers due to her religious beliefs. As a recent convert to Islam, she worked out a deal with her fellow flight attendants to serve the alcohol for her. Cenk is against her on this stand. A 14-year-old Latino boy in Indiana was shot in his side by a passing car that yelled racial slurs before shooting. Right before this shooting, an SUV at a taco shop with two parents and two kids inside was shot at, but no one was hurt. Cenk talks about how these terrorists’ ironic mindset was probably based in recent GOP talking points about immigrants being dangerous criminals. Donald Trump is answering for his military expertise by touting his time at a military school he was sent to as an adolescent after assaulting his music teacher. Videos of Trump bashing McCain for being captured in Vietnam and telling Hugh Hewitt that he will be so good at “the military.”

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Update on the man with the world’s largest penis. A writer in London posted a viral rant about the situation of immigration and acceptance of refugees. His rant was filled with sarcasm about people speaking English and allowing Western countries’ citizens to travel wherever they’d like. Drivers in China are known for killing pedestrians they’ve accidentally hit. After hitting someone, they respond by continuing to run over the person so that their punishment is less harsh. If the person is only injured, the driver will have to pay for their injuries and future issues for the rest of their lives. If the person is dead, they only have to pay for burial fees and spend very little time in jail. Talk about the laws incentives and disincentives.
