Cenk hosts TYT. Sarah Palin spoke to an Iowa Summit, with disjointed points and rambling rants that even got negative attention from Conservatives. Video of a portion of her speech. Cenk reads other quotes from her speech, trying to make it sound palatable. Video of Joe Scarborough elaborating on why he thinks Palin’s latest speech a tragedy compared to her RNC speech in 2008. After Pres Obama’s SOTU speech where he asserted wages were rising for Americans, Cenk disputed the claim since nearly all of the gains went to the richest. Because of this, Rep Boehner & Sen McConnell went on 60 Minutes to claim they care about the Middle Class, while Obama favors the rich. Video of the two playing populus, but rejected every policy that would help regular Americans. Controversy surrounding some honest reactions to American Sniper continues. Fox News’ Todd Starnes reacted to Michael Moore’s latest tweets by claiming Jesus would congratulate snipers that kill Muslims. Cenk details how the movie was a propaganda piece and sparked a rise in anti-Muslim rhetoric from movie goers and supporters of the film. In response to the debate, Fox News’ Charles Payne declared that America has saved the world with our involvement in wars and being the world’s police. Negotiations with Iran have caused potential GOP Presidential candidates to respond by claiming they are going horribly, so that they can promote themselves. Rand Paul was the only GOP voice to say diplomacy is better than war. Historic elections in Greece have placed the Left wing Syriza Party in power that is likely to govern away from austerity measures.
