John Iadarola, Michael Shure, Dave Rubin, and Desi Doyen hosting today.  Rep Congressman McAllister has been caught on surveillance camera making out with a female staffer.  The staffer’s husband has spoken out about how horribly this affair has ruined his life and family.  The soon to be ex-husband also pointed out that McAllister told him that he became religious in his campaign when he needed the votes.  Democratic Rep Jackie Speier lamented the frat culture that is widespread in Congress among elected officials and staff members.  NJ Gov Chris Christie attended a roast where Joy Behar laid into him with constant fat jokes. Investigative reporting alleges that the Chicago city council approved $55 million to be given to Marriott hotel for a huge project to be built for them.  Just before this big win was landed for Marriott, one of Rahm Emanuel’s biggest donors coincidentally bought a lot of shares in Marriott, just in time to make tons of money off of the decision given to the hotel chain.  A poll of Americans show that the further off people are in being able to identify where Ukraine is on a map, the more likely they are in wanting us to intervene with force. Although a lot of talk has been circulated about President Obama’s record deportations of illegal immigrants, the details of the kinds of deportations aren’t discussed.  Charts show that the high number come from organizations close to the border, others that deport criminals, and ones not breaking up families or working immigrants, contributing to society.  Talk about Jeb Bush’s apparent understanding of immigration and how it may affect his potential aspirations for higher office.
