Cenk hosts TYT. Former Defense Secretary Bob Gates has  joined General Dempsey in calling for boots on the ground in order to "degrade" ISIS.  Gates is also concerned that the aim of "destroying" ISIS is a goal that is unattainable. Following them to the “gates of hell” is more realistic. Fun Fact of The Day: Americans are 8 times more likely to be killed by a police officer than a terrorist. Today's Scary Chart Time shows that people are still more likely to run to the Republican Party during times of war. ISIS has released a “trailer” called “Flames of War” in order to provoke America into the fight against them. The family of Steven Sotloff sent Barak Barfi to speak on behalf of the family and to seek answers and details of Steven’s kidnapping from the administration. Joe Biden's foot-in-mouth disease is back again. This time Biden talks about “shylocks” taking advantage of Iraq’s banking system and that Lee Kuan Yu is the “wisest man in the Orient”. Actor Kevin Sorbo says that there aren't any movies being made about the New Testament because Jews are running Hollywood. Fast food workers continue to get the shaft. Nine in 10 fast workers have reported wage theft while the industry pays their CEO’s 1,200 times more than the typical fast food worker. Cenko Unchained: Cenk talks about the theft of fast food workers' wages and how Republicans are introducing legislation in favor of the fast food industry and their CEOs. TYT and Survey Monkey conducted a poll asking 18-35 year olds if they would be satisfied if Hillary Clinton became the Democratic Party’s candidate for President.  An update is given on the TYT petition regarding who should run against Hillary Clinton. Acts of morality between religious and non-religious people are examined in a recent study conducted by Saint Peter’s University. The morality of liberals and conservatives are also explored.
