Cenk hosts TYT. A study on how Americans pray, what they pray for, and how many of their prayers are answered was conducted by Pew and Cenk breaks down the results. The wealthier the respondents, the more they prayed for bad things to happen to others. Another study asked Americans to rate the religions. Muslims were rated the lowest, just below Atheists. Jews topped the list at 63 due to the positive ratings Evangelicals gave them. Jews did not return the favor, and rated Evangelicals at 34. Bill Maher and Ben Affleck argued over Maher’s assertion that Libs fail to criticize Muslims. Videos of the clash on Real Time that included Sam Harris, who sided with Maher are shown. Steve Oh gives his take. The FBI Director appeared on 60 Minutes and re-established the threat of Khorasan, by claiming they pose an imminent threat that could happen tomorrow, or months from now. Cenk sees these statements and previous leaks about how incompetent we are as signs that we plan on going in for more rounds of attacks. According to McClatchy newspapers that a high ranking French officer defected to Al Qaeda, and due to that embarrassment, they decided to bomb in retaliation. Since we didn’t get this defector, we need to launch another attack to try again. The SCOTUS has rejected appeal cases against same sex marriage, leaving the previous rulings in favor of marriage equality intact. The five states affected are IN, OK, UT, VA, and WI.
