Dave Rubin, Jimmy Dore, and Desi Doyen hosting today.  The NSA apparently exploited the Heartbleed bug for spying purposes for at least 2 years before the public just found out about it.  Hillary Clinton had a shoe thrown at her while speaking in front of an audience in Las Vegas.  TYT remembers when President Bush had a shoe thrown at him in Iraq. Nancy Pelosi told reporters that race plays a role in Republicans’ opposition to immigration reform.  She mentioned that she’s heard them say to the Irish that if it were only them, they’d be on board.  Talk about whether or not race is the primary driver behind the GOP’s hatred toward Obama. Sen Chuck Grassley spoke on the Senate floor about how upset he is that Obama hasn’t cracked down on states that decriminalized marijuana.  Kathleen Sebelius has decided to step down from the Admin.  Video of her departure speech, where she had one more hiccup; one page from her speech was missing.
