A SMALL PORTION, IN THE BEGINNING, OF HOUR 1 IS MISSING. Cenk hosting today. News broke that Trevor Noah has been named to replace Jon Stewart on the Daily Show. Cenk thinks that every other comic is feeling some bitter feelings about this no name getting this huge job. Further damning evidence that Bill O’Reilly was lying about his war coverage in the Falklands War from his cameraman. The alleged cameraman came forward to point out he has no memory of being knocked down and bleeding, only to be saved by Bill. Syrian president Assad told 60 Mins that ISIS has grown since airstrikes have begun against them. A Reuters poll showed that Republicans think President Obama is a bigger imminent threat to the U.S. than Assad, Putin, or Ayatollah Khamenei. N Korean dictator Kim Jong Un tied Obama as a threat. Indiana governor Mike Pence comedically defended his signing a bill into law that would allow businesses to discriminate against gay citizens based on religious views. Many big name athletes and public figures have spoken out against the law. Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller, and Tim Cook of Apple responded strongly. Videos of Pence dodging the question of whether or not discrimination is legal in Indiana over and over again on This Week. In Pence’s private signing of the bill, 3 anti-gay lobbyists stood all around him in support. GLAAD’s exposing this showed that Pence fully knows the objective of the law is to allow religious people to discriminate against gay citizens. Final Judgment on the Hands Up charges related to Michael Brown and Ferguson shooting. Cenk goes over the forensic findings of Brown’s movements and shots fired. He also gives his conclusions based on all the evidence.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Update on the story of Taraji Henson’s accusations about USC cops and Glendale cops racially profiling her son. Video of the Glendale encounter disproves her son’s story of being profiled. Henson later apologized for her accusations. After Indiana governor Pence signed into law a bill that opened up religious freedom from government oppression, the Church of Cannabis looks forward to being allowed to smoke all the weed they want. A poll of Millennials on morality, showed that they feel casual sex to be more morally wrong than homosexuality. They also believe that contraception should be widely available to college students. Ana thinks they think this way because many Millennials are underemployed and can’t afford to responsibly get married and have to hold off on sex. A Nebraska proposal would allow dirty fracking water from out of state to be dumped into the state’s disposal system, which could seep into the drinking water. One farmer in the state went to a committee hearing about the issue and asked the panel if they’d drink the water contaminated with fracking ingredients, which they refused to answer. After a gas explosion in NYC that took down a building and killed at least 2 people, some residents took a selfie in front of the devastation, with big smiles on their faces. Social media sites responded with anger. Cenk pardons these people’s behavior even though it was a deplorable thing to do. Cenk admits to going to the OJ Simpson scene and ran around the property like goofballs. A Venezuelan model is doing extreme waist training in order to get a 20 inch waist. After her organs shifted to allow this look, Cenk and Ana wonder if this actually a turn on for guys. Cenk does the Nature Box promo.
