Gina Grad joins Ben, Ana, and Jimmy for SCS stories.  The man that was fired in Washington for buying legal marijuana on local news was given his job back after it made news.  The American Apparel founder that has been stripped of his position as CEO will be given an investigation before they officially kick him off the board.  Virginia police have abandoned their plans to force a 17 year old kid to have an erection and take photos of it for their case against him sexting with his 15 year old girlfriend.  Dr. Keith Ablow spoke about how “nuts” the new law is that allows a married couple to be identified as “spouse” on their marriage certificate, opening it up for gay marriage to be normalized.  He equated it to people marrying anything, like their dogs next.  A lesbian college student at the University of Pittsburgh has been cut off now that her father discovered that she is gay.  She now can’t afford to pay for school, so she’s resorted to crowdfunding online to pay for school.  Alex Jones recently spoke about Joan Rivers’ comment that Michelle Obama is a transgendered individual.  Alex took it seriously and claimed that it is true.  Question of which person is worse to be stuck in an elevator with, Alex Jones or Dr. Keith Ablow.

Ben, Ana, John, and Jimmy hosting.  Ben starts the show with “Breaking News” on President Obama cutting line at a ribs restaurant that apparently had some people upset.  Now that over 100 Palestinians have been killed from Israeli rockets fired into Gaza, Megyn Kelly and her guest Ben Shapiro criticized Obama for taking 12 days to call Netanyahu.  While bashing him, Shapiro surprised Kelly by claiming the Obama Admin is Jew-hating.  Ben loses his patience with Shapiro and Megyn Kelly for even setting the tone for him to go there.  Video of Ehud Barak claiming that President Obama’s support for Israel is better than any other president.  After Diane Sawyer misidentified bombed Palestinians as Israelis, she came back on the next day to correct the record and explain that it was their fault.  A poll showed that 72% of Muslims support President Obama, while only 18% of Mormons do. While the Boko Haram kidnappings got attention, another mass kidnapping of over 180 adolescent boys at school happened in Syria at the same time.  ISIS pulled off this kidnapping where most of the boys are still being held today.  Bob Beckel criticized the Chinese as the most dangerous group to America, calling them “Chinamen.”  The cost of the newly developed F35 fighter jets is $1 trillion to create 2200 units.
