After all of the talk from Pres Obama about going after entitlements like Social Security, Cenk shows a video from 2008 of Obama vowing to never do this.  Videos of James Carville pointing out that Obama is happy to buck his Party and get praise from the Establishment while going after the Grand Bargain.  Videos of Elizabeth Warren questioning a couple of regulators that were keeping important information from consumers that are suing fraudulent bankers for wrongful foreclosures.  A top executive bashed Warren for being in “campaign mode” while in office, not to be taken seriously. A NC state legislator was asked about whether or not Islamic prayer should be allowed to happen before state meetings, and she claimed that she’s against it because she doesn’t condone terrorism.  Bill Donahue disagreed with John Fugelsang about gay rights and gay marriage.  Rep Steve Stockman boasted that his next campaign bumper sticker will read, “If Babies Had Guns, They Wouldn’t Be Aborted.” The Koch Brothers have 2 other brothers, one is Bill, who is also very rich.  He considers himself a hero for fighting the fake wine industry.  After he bought 17,000 bottles of wine, 24 of them were fake, so he’s on a crusade to sue the company into the ground.  A member of the Armed Services Cmte spoke about the real threat N.

A California teenager was gang raped and eventually committed suicide over the bullying that followed. Discussion about kids and their understanding of sex, rape, and bullying.  A 16 year old girl that attended a Catholic high school sent a topless picture of herself to a male friend, which was spread to everyone via the 1st two boys to get it.  The school wanted to quell the issue, so they kicked the girl out and didn't punish the boys at all. A Reddit user posted a picture of an Orthodox Jew who wrapped himself in a huge plastic bag while on an airplane to avoid flying over a cemetery without a barrier between himself and the graveyard.  The country’s largest for profit prison company admitted that they were fraudulently logging employees hours for work they weren’t working.  This company is also funded by the government, so taxpayers are paying for the non-work they privately are doing.  A badass dragon bridge that breathes fire was built in Vietnam. A wife that is being cheated on showed up to a wrestling event with a sign that exposed her husband cheating with his mistress.  The plan backfired when people began to talk trash to her.  Ben is completely against this woman’s tactics, calling her the new bad guy.  A French scientist did a study for 15 years to find out if bras are detrimental to women’s breasts.  Cenk thinks this guy is simply a pervert.  Bra fittings became known to the guys of TYT in the production meeting.
