Segment 1 Ana joins Cenk, Ben, and Wes for SCS. Billionaire Bruce Rauner is running for Governor of Illinois and after catching heat for being out of touch with regular people, he’s fought back by calling out Mitt Romney, distancing himself from being another Mitt.  The Romney camp responded with insults of their own.  Video of Rauner’s ad, claiming to drive a 20 year old van with 200,000 miles. Wes speculates on political and influential reasons someone like Rauner would have 9 homes. The NYPD has settled a $33,000 case after wrongfully arresting 3 men for possessing meth, when it was actually, and obviously Jolly Ranchers. The officers originally claimed they performed a field test that positively identified the candy as meth, but that was untrue. Segment 2 Floyd Mayweather is facing a civil lawsuit based on abuse of his ex.  Anti-virus company Avast surveyed people to see how often people snoop through their partner’s smartphone.  20% of men and 25% of women admitted to snooping and their reasons slightly differed.  Ben predicted that 75% of the panel has done it, so he tells his story of doing it. A man in Mumbai has filed for divorce partially due to his wife’s insatiable desire for sex, harassing him for it all of the time.  Ana is the only one of the 4 panelists that think the man has a case.
