Cenk hosting today. Bernie Sanders is attracting big crowds in Iowa, to the surprise of the Establishment. Cenk talks about the political thought process the media took this to mean when real world Americans don’t operate that way. Jeb Bush told Bob Schieffer that he supports raising retirement age to 68-70 so that Social Security is sustainable. Cenko Unchained on Jeb’s comments that describe SS recipients as entitled when he’s the most entitled person in the nation right now. VP Biden’s son, Beau Biden died of brain cancer over the weekend.

Videos of Biden speaking to a group of army families in 2012 that have lost someone in the military, relaying his experiences and pain. After the latest Free Speech against Islam event took place in Phoenix, the coordinator has tried to cash in on the attention he’s obtained by claiming he was threatened and needs protection. He launched a GoFundMe campaign with a goal of $10 million, but it ended after 3 days, totaling $300. Pictures of the protest where his supporters were carrying huge automatic weapons across from opposing protesters that held signs. Cenk tells a specific story of some anti-Islam attendees that entered the mosque that they were protesting, only to be enlightened by the peaceful and prayerful atmosphere. After his experience inside, he vowed to never wear the “Fuck Islam” t-shirt ever again. A Muslim woman that was rejected employment at Abercrombie over her hijab was awarded a settlement, but Cenk doesn’t agree with the results. The company has a particular douchey dress code, and the Muslim garb doesn’t fit, so it’s not religious discrimination. Antonin Scalia presented the Court’s opinion, and Cenk thinks he’s only trying to set a precedent for Christian “religious freedom.” Rand Paul delayed the passing of the Patriot Act and forced some portions of the law to expire with a filibuster-like effort. This move pissed off several of his Republican colleagues, especially John McCain, who accused Paul of grandstanding for his own political ambitions at the expense of our security. Video of Rand Paul and McCain fighting on the Senate floor over procedure on the subject. Video of Paul accusing some people in DC secretly wanting another attack so that they can blame it on him. Video of Bill Hemmer of Fox News grilling Paul into taking back the comments. Cenk thinks that Paul’s tactics make him a real contender despite the fact he’s being bashed.
