Ana joins Cenk for SCS.  Video of Pat Robertson telling an emailing viewer that he should keep his past relationship with a transgender woman in the dark.  Another question he answered was from a woman that wonders if she should honor her mother even though she’s a wiccan.  Wall Street has a secret society that is run like an obnoxious frat, bragging about how they’ve taken America for so much money.  A reporter from the NY Times went undercover to discover their society. After the Obama Administration openly disagreed with the new Ugandan law against gay citizens, Concerned Women for America responded by saying Obama is arrogant for disputing the inhumane law in Uganda.  This is the same women’s group that spoke out against the Violence Against Women’s Act.  Republican State Senators in Virginia are looking to impeach a federal judge that is allowing gay marriage to be recognized. A Russian regulatory group is banning women’s panties that don’t have a certain amount of cotton in the makeup of the underwear.  Women are protesting the decision.  After a Chevron fracking well exploded and burned for a few days in Bobtown, PA the company looked to make it up to the residents by offering them a free cheese pizza and a bottle of coke.  A reality show preacher that used snakes in his messages has died of a snake bite after he refused treatment.   Look for TYT Announcements from Ambassador Jeni here: http://bit.ly/TYTForum
