Cenk hosting. Talk about why TYT has decided to stop blurring Donald Trump’s face on the show. Although he was originally banned due to his simple desire to gain attention, the latest GOP primary polls have him as a legitimate contender for the nomination. Even beyond the GOP cycle, he’s also gaining on Hillary in the polls. Trump’s plan to fly his helicopter to the Iowa State Fair and take kids for a ride was shortly derailed by the event until he simply did it off site. When one kid asked him if he’s Batman, Trump responded by saying, “I am Batman.” He also went on to tell reporters that Mitt Romney isn’t really rich. Trump has released his plan on immigration policy which includes building a wall funded by Mexico, kicking all immigrants out, and eliminating birthright citizenship. Donald Trump appeared on MTP and discussed a litany of issues. Video of Trump’s answer on who he goes to for military advice...television shows. Trump’s thoughts on what to do about Saudi Arabia. Video of Trump without an opinion on whether or not Ukraine is in NATO. Continuing discussion about Trump’s appearance on Meet the Press. Video of him talking about how much he disagrees with the Iran deal. Trump also talks about how he would be considered a Super Genius if he were a Liberal that went to Wharton instead of a Conservative. Video of Donald Trump’s consistent truth, how Jeb and other politicians are puppets for rich donors. Jeb Bush told reporters that he’s a Washington Outsider, despite the fact that his father and brother were both recent presidents. He claimed that he’s never lived in Washington and would not be familiar enough to even drive through the city. Civil Rights legend and leader Julian Bond has died at the age of 75. A police officer in Alabama was assaulted by a Black man he pulled over in a routine traffic stop. He hesitated to draw his gun on the man due to the negative stories of police violence, which led to him being beaten and pistol whipped with his own gun in broad daylight. Although many people would see this as a reason to back up cops’ propensity to shoot and kill unarmed people, Cenk talks about why this shouldn’t be the reaction. The police reaction shows that they feel they’ve been too gun shy and that their noble integrity has been wrongfully challenged. Cenk talks about how no one ended up dead, which is a win.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Latest on the two Tea Party state reps that were busted having an affair and attempting to claim he was having a gay affair to lessen the blow. The female rep has vowed to not resign over the scandal and accusation they’ve misused funds for the affair. Ana and Cenk disagree on whether or not they should be forced out over their direct hypocrisy over family values that they push in legislation that disrupt people’s lives. Pro football player James Harrison made his two sons return participation trophies to school since they weren’t for anything they did. Cenk talks about how much he supports this line of thinking, while his kids receive trophies. Ana agrees, but thinks showing up should be recognized, since it's useful in the real world. Amazon workers have revealed to The NY Times about the company policies that pit employees against one another and severe emotional punishment. Cenk actually likes what they do at Amazon based on the 14 Principles they outline. Ana thinks the details behind the principles create a hostile work environment. They have a high turnover and health problems among employees. The police department in Columbus, OH has denied any women that want to be officers from wearing a scarf or hijab on the job. They claim to not allow any religious symbol to be worn. Cenk disagrees since these are public officials paid by the community, not a private company. Study showed that religious people tend to physically do better with a disease like cancer than non believers.
