Hannah Cranston replaces Desi for SCS. An Egyptian groom staged an ISIS kidnapping prank on his bride at their wedding, but she ended up liking it. 3 sheriffs from CO, KS, and NE are filing lawsuits against the state of Colorado for their legalization of marijuana. The Salvation Army created an anti-domestic violence ad using the much talked about Black/Blue dress that captivated the internet. Cenk talks about how boring White weddings are compared to the Egyptian one where an ISIS kidnapping was staged. Harrison Ford crashed his small airplane in Santa Monica, suffering some injuries. A 21 year old Brit with over 1 million Vine followers is doing 6sec videos for advertisers that pay him over 2000 pounds/second to do ads. John is completely against Vines. An 11 year old kid in the UK went to his school’s book day by dressing up as Christian Grey from 50 Shades of Grey. Once the teachers saw his outfit, they sent him home and kept him out of all the pictures, deeming the outfit as inappropriate. His mother pointed out that one of the teachers went as Dexter, and they allowed a serial killer as more appropriate than a kid in a suit.

Cenk, John, Desi, and Ana hosting. Conservative media outlets have gone crazy on a story from of a Kuwaiti newspaper that claimed Obama threatened to shoot Israeli jets out of the sky if they launched an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. Fox News, Daily Caller, Breitbart, and NewsMax all ran with the story. The White House tweeted in response to the story, claiming that its totally false. Sean Hannity showed off his gym regimen in comparison to President Obama’s. Video of Hannity showing Obama’s “weak” workout routine. Video of Hannity’s MMA training with Chuck Liddell. Cenk and Ana point out that if he showed this footage as a fun moment, it would be fine, but he really thinks he’s a tough guy. A Conservative writer for the Washington Free Beacon is holding back mourning for Nimoy since he reminds him of Obama in real life and as Spock. After Sen Inhofe embarrassed him with a snowball to prove climate change doesn’t exist, he followed up with another ridiculous argument. This time, he quoted a Bible verse as proof of his argument. The Dept of Justice report on how the entire justice system in Ferguson, MO continues to illustrate the absolutely corrupt law enforcement. Tickets and fines were handed out routinely to certain citizens in order to keep them in debt to the city, while avoiding tickets for friends and family.
