Hour 2 Segment 1 Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Doctors administer a new drug for fetuses with a particular disorder that will cause baby girls to have conflicting, male sexual parts as they grow after birth. Some people in the LGBT community dont like the use of this drug that has other effects. Some parents that simply want to avoid their unborn daughters to become tomboys look to use this drug on them. Gay groups are setting up a Starbucks Appreciation Day to counter the Chik-Fil-A day. A charter school in Louisiana makes their female students take a pregnancy test, and it they’re pregnant, they’re kicked out. This clearly violates Title IX. Segment 2 Enlarged clitorises.

Hour 1 Segment 1 Cenk hosting today. A pro-Obama Super PAC released an ad hitting Romney on his Bain days and how the layoffs led to one worker’s wife dying of cancer. Even this may be too harsh for Cenk’s taste. Video of a pro-Romney ad criticizing Obama for deporting over 1 million immigrants. They took Obama’s agreeable nature of taking their policies seriously and used it against him. Video of Obama calling Romney the reverse Robin Hood, Romney-Hood. Cenk loves candidate Obama. Audio of Obama’s radio ad going after Romney’s flopped stance on coal in Ohio. The only problem is that Romney’s flopped stance is the correct one. Obama is running very conservative on coal, the way Romney was before. Cenk notices that Romney is massively insecure and has to prove himself. Segment 2 Videos of Judge Napolitano calling the Sikh Temple shooting a random nutjob, and Ft. Hood terrorism. Cenk points out that the real connection to all of these is guns. The NRA sent out a fundraising newsletter right after the Aurora, CO shooting to scare more people into buying guns. Since so many people already are buying guns, they need more, so they’ve continued to advocate illegal gun sales. Tons of people on the terrorist watch list are still able to buy guns because of their work. They also don’t want the gov’t to have the capability to track the illegal guns. Segment 3 New ruling on indefinite detentions goes against it, so the Obama Admin is appealing it. The Defense Contractors are staring sequestration in the eye, so they’re pushing their bought Republicans to consider tax increases if the alternative is to cut their funding.
