Sanders campaign voter data breach. RJ Eskow. Police abuse of power. Fake poll on bombing Middle East. Trump and Putin. Cenk, Ben, and Iadarola hosting. Bernie Sanders’ campaign has been locked out of the voter roll portion of the DNC after it was discovered that a staffer accessed and potentially downloaded some of Hillary Clinton’s info. A 3rd party company that manages the firewall between the campaigns through the DNC failed to block this kind of access on multiple occasions. Some Sanders supporters see this as a fix since the DNC Chairwoman, DWS used to work for Clinton. Video of Sanders campaign manager telling a press group what happened and how the DNC is taking the opportunity to sabotage their campaign. Videos of Debbie Wasserman Schultz defending the DNC’s decision to suspend Sanders, and claiming that they were notified about the breach from the vendor, not Sanders campaign. RJ Eskow joins. A Seattle cop has received a slap on the wrist after dashcam footage showed him sucker punching a 21 year old homeless man while talking to him. Video of the violent punch and arrest. After the investigation was completed, they found that the cop escalated the situation, and that it was premeditated. PPP polling found that 30% of Republicans support bombing the fictional city in Aladdin, not realizing it's fake. The responses showed that their instinctual reactions are to bomb. Democratic voters were 36% against bombing the fake city and 19% in favor. After Putin heaped praise on Trump and his “intelligence” Donald responded to Morning Joe. Video of him saying despite Putin’s killing of political critics, he is a leader, unlike Obama.

Dena Takruri and Ana replace Iadarola and RJ Eskow. Rep David Brat appeared on CSPAN and a caller asked if he could shit in his mouth. Video of the inappropriateness. A Muslim teacher has been fired for teaching about Malala and the plight of Middle Eastern Muslims. She had previously been banned from talking about her Palestinian background and experiences. Cenk talks about how rallying behind Malala is the most anti-radical Muslim extremist thing to do. A Virginia school district shut down the entire district today in response to the huge outcry from parents of one high school that assigned students to learn about Middle Eastern calligraphy. They were made to write a Muslim religious line. Years ago, Israel built a huge wall to prevent attacks toward the country, but that objective hasn’t worked. Instead, it has destroyed the lives of occupied Palestinians. AJ Plus video featuring Dena about the wall. Cenk isn’t necessarily against a wall, just that it should be at the 1967 borders. Dena disagrees, talks about what such a tremendous wall does to people’s psyche. The female CEO of Sam’s Club is catching heat from some that are upset over her policy to ensure diversity in her hiring practices. White men are calling her racist over her policy to not solely have White men in the company. The cop that threatened to kill Ferguson protesters as he pointed his gun at them is facing some consequences, so he complained that the entire ordeal is ruining his life.
