Ana joins Cenk for SCS.  Researchers in the Czech Republic conducted a survey that asked people to determine others’ intelligence by simply looking at their face.  Amazingly, the raters could correctly figure intelligence with men, but not with women.  Ana gives the descriptions of “dumb faces” vs. “smart faces.”  Scientific evidence behind effective flirting for men and women.  The Center for Investigative Reporting revealed how police are using aircraft to monitor and record everything that is happening within a 25 mile radius.  The technology is currently being used in Compton, CA.  Google purchased Titan Aerospace company that has cutting edge drone technology.  They have plans to use the technology to spread the internet to more people.  Republicans in TN have voted against a Democratic initiative to allocate funds for untested rape kits, dating back to the ‘80s.  They claim a problem with organizing inventory, but its simply another stalling tactic to avoid money going to another politicians’ district.  A politician in India proposed a law that would hang women that have premarital sex or are victims of rape.  In his mind, he was pushing for both the man and woman involved to get this capital punishment since many think only the woman should be the target.  India’s top court has ruled that their Transgender community will receive equal rights and recognition. The federal gov’t will make billions of dollars on student loans this year due to the rates they charge students is much more than the rates they charged banks when they bailed them out.

Cenk hosting today.  Latest on the cattle fight between a Nevada cattle rancher and the government that he has allowed his cattle to graze on.  Cenk goes over the potentially shady reasons behind Sen Reid’s son being involved in a company that wants to use the land for their own use.  After researching further, Cenk discovered that the land the company was looking to build on was nowhere near this land, and they abandoned the project in the summer of last year.  Former sheriff Richard Mack is supporting the Bundy Ranch and its gun-toting objective, and strategized a plan of putting all of their wives and daughters on the front line of the gun battle against the Feds.  This would show the pure evil of the “rouge” government officials by shooting the women that they placed in front of the men.  Ironically, a Black Chicago resident was arrested for pulling a gun on a store clerk that was charging a .22 cent tax on his Diet Pepsi.  He was enraged by the taxes placed on his soda as he was a resident of the neighborhood.  Wolf PAC’s Illinois chapter rallied and got the resolution passed after some serious legwork.  Audio of his description of how it was done.  A fight between Louie Gohmert and Eric Holder during a hearing on contempt charges led to a fallout about the treatment of the 1st Black president and the 1st Black Attorney General.  Conservatives like Scarborough and Brit Hume pointed out that they were horrible to Clinton in the ‘90s.  Some “Shoe Truthers” believe that Hillary Clinton staged the shoe throwing incident in order to get some sympathy and make people forget about Benghazi.  Bernie Goldberg of FoxNews also wrote about how its almost always true that Hillary plans these things.  The woman that threw the shoe spoke out about her motivations, which revealed she is a certifiable lunatic.  After the shooting in Kansas over the weekend, CNN published a story that revealed instances of Right Wing Terrorism in our country outnumbers Al Qaeda terrorism since 9-11.
