Cenk and John hosting, the “Turkish Pie” hour. AG nominee Loretta Lynch was questioned today by the Senate. She boldly told the panel that she believes waterboarding is torture, and therefore illegal. Video of Lindsey Graham asking Lynch what the legal difference is between polygamy and gay marriage. Cenk notices the professional dodge Lynch gave Graham. Rep Adam Schiff is proposing a bill that would establish a use of force authorization for our military action against ISIS with limits that are currently missing. Cenk characterizes this as his favorite bill he would vote against. Now that Palin has shown her ass even more with her disjointed speech in Iowa, even Conservatives like Bill O’Reilly went after her with a teaser making fun of her potentially running for President as a reality show. Video of Palin responding by calling Fox News a quasi right wing network. Video of Sean Hannity tepidly asking Palin if her teleprompter went out at her horribly delivered Iowa speech. After pushing back at the media for asking such questions, Hannity surrendered and claimed to not be a part of that bunch. Video of Hannity losing his mind over Obama’s teleprompters. Cenk brings up how lost President Bush was without his teleprompter. The American Sniper bickering has reached Howard Dean after he called the movie-goers angry and Tea Party types. After he was criticized for these thoughts, he came back with an apology for offending the military, but not the rabid Right Wingers on Twitter coming for him. Mike Huckabee continues to push a folksy character as he begins his run for President. Video of Huckabee claiming that guns weren’t in schools when Bibles were there.  John points out that in churches, where there are tons of Bibles and praying, violence in churches are on the rise. Video of Huckabee claiming that as we get away from the Bible and the objective word of truth, the worse off we are as a society.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Update on the police officer that was busted for stealing risque pictures of a female DUI driver. He has been convicted and sentenced to probation and community service. When President Obama and the First Lady went to Saudi Arabia for King Abdullah’s funeral, Michelle was seen not wearing the headdress and robe that they hand out for women to wear. After FB’s Mark Zuckerberg wrote in favor of freedom of speech after the Charlie Hebdo attack, especially on Facebook, he has caved to pressure from Turkey that told him to censor anyone posting images of Muhammad. Go Daddy had a Super Bowl commercial pulled because of criticism from animal rights groups claiming it promotes puppy mills. Ana points out that this is simply a publicity move by Go Daddy. Another Super Bowl ad that will be run addresses domestic violence by using a real 911 call from a woman under attack. A video of a high school student body slamming his teacher for taking away his phone has gone viral. Some people have criticized the teacher for not fighting back & taking the phone in the 1st place, others obviously have criticized the student for resorting to violence, and even more criticize the others just watching and filming. Bruce Jenner has been filming a documentary that shows his transformation to becoming a woman. Cenk and Ana are annoyed by the spectacle that it is becoming.
