Cenk hosting today. A Christian gun manufacturer has developed a new Muslim killing AR-15 called The Crusader. It has a Bible scripture etched onto each one that vows to kill its enemies. Video of the developer talking about the gun and firing it. A Muslim flight attendant is complaining that she has been suspended for not serving alcohol to passengers due to her religious beliefs. As a recent convert to Islam, she worked out a deal with her fellow flight attendants to serve the alcohol for her. Cenk is against her on this stand. A 14-year-old Latino boy in Indiana was shot in his side by a passing car that yelled racial slurs before shooting. Right before this shooting, an SUV at a taco shop with two parents and two kids inside was shot at, but no one was hurt. Cenk talks about how these terrorists’ ironic mindset was probably based in recent GOP talking points about immigrants being dangerous criminals. Donald Trump is answering for his military expertise by touting his time at a military school he was sent to as an adolescent after assaulting his music teacher. Videos of Trump bashing McCain for being captured in Vietnam and telling Hugh Hewitt that he will be so good at “the military.” Donald Trump’s twitter fight with Club for Growth turns out to be illustrative of how the system is run. After Trump pointed out that they solicited him for $1 million and they aggressively denied it, claiming he tried to buy them off, he decided to post the letter they sent him begging for support. Sarah Palin has requested to be Trump’s Secretary of Energy. Video of her touting her strengths to claim the position and then get rid of it. Her reasoning to be head of the Dept of Energy didn’t add up, as the power to delegate where oil and gas gets used falls under the Dept of the Interior. Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis has been released from jail on the day that Mike Huckabee planned a rally to have her freed. She has been released on the condition that she won’t refuse marriage licenses to gay couples. Video of Huckabee and Davis celebrating and talking about how God worked to get her out. Larry Lessig went on ABC’s This Week to talk about his mandate based run for President. Videos of his appearance, explaining how his plan will work to regain democracy in America. Lessig went on to talk about how even the Progressive policies passed by the Obama Admin were watered down due to special interests’ threats. Coincidentally, Hillary Clinton revealed her plan to get money out of politics.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Update on the man with the world’s largest penis. A writer in London posted a viral rant about the situation of immigration and acceptance of refugees. His rant was filled with sarcasm about people speaking English and allowing Western countries’ citizens to travel wherever they’d like. Drivers in China are known for killing pedestrians they’ve accidentally hit. After hitting someone, they respond by continuing to run over the person so that their punishment is less harsh. If the person is only injured, the driver will have to pay for their injuries and future issues for the rest of their lives. If the person is dead, they only have to pay for burial fees and spend very little time in jail. Talk about the laws incentives and disincentives. A YouTube comedian created a video filled with fat jokes and judgement that received tons of hate. Both Ana and Cenk think that it wasn’t funny at all. Video of parts of her comedy. In response, her video and entire channel was taken down by YouTube, but reinstated later. Video of one YouTuber star’s response. Damon Wayans told NYC radio show The Breakfast Club that he defends Bill Cosby because those women were too ugly to be raped. A woman was tricked into having sex with her female best friend that pretended to be a man with a prosthetic penis and a disguise. Discussion about other false pretenses that people go through in order to have sex, like lying about one’s wealth or possessions.

Cenk and Ana. Talk about the documentary Show me a Hero about discriminatory housing practices in Yonkers, NY in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. One of the most vehement opposing voices to the integration that began decades later, was convinced that the “others” she once hated were nothing like she thought.
