Cenk hosting. Sarah Palin has announced that her pay-per video channel online will no longer charge for the content, as it seems she was unsuccessful in convincing people to pay for her ridiculous rhetoric. Video of Palin announcing the change, claiming its because she wants more people’s voices to be involved in the upcoming Pres election. Several HSBC employees have been fired for creating a parody ISIS execution video and posting it online. Video of the short offensive clip. Cenk points out how HSBC employees have gotten away with many serious economic crimes, including laundering money for Mexican drug cartels. Scott Walker’s family have come out with lukewarm opposition to his anti-gay rights stance. Cenk points out that this story of his family disagreeing with him is a ploy to show tolerant voters that he’s a good guy despite his hateful stance, based on his family’s views. Rick Santorum spoke to reporters about how his “man on dog” prediction about gay marriage rights from 2003 have come to fruition with the SCOTUS decision. Video of his comments. Dinesh D’Souza tweeted a picture of Hillary Clinton from the ‘70s of her standing in front of a bookshelf in a library with a Confederate flag on it. It was quickly debunked and proven that the flag wasn’t in that picture, but photoshopped in. After he finally admitted that it was fake, he ironically made fun of her glasses and hairdo from the time. Tea Partier and historian David Barton told a religious program that retirement isn’t endorsed by God, as people tend to die shortly after retiring and choosing to stop producing things. As he’s backed by corporations like Koch Industries, they’re pushing the idea that people shouldn’t retire. Cenk reads several Bible verses that speak directly against greed, the rich, and idolizing money over salvation. Bill O’Reilly has blamed the mayor of SF and Obama for the shooting death of a woman in San Francisco by an illegal immigrant. Video of O’Reilly’s talking points memo applying the blame on everyone else. Despite his previous anger over people blaming Fox News for racists and Right wing White Supremacists that kill. Video of his ire. Cenk remembers when O’Reilly pushed the “Tiller the Baby Killer” talking point incessantly, leading up to Scott Roeder killing the doctor. Video of O’Reilly demonizing Dr. Tiller and deflecting blame for pushing the meme.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. The Florida man that was caught having sex on a beach has been sentenced to 2.5 years in prison and will have to register as sex offenders. Cenk and Ana completely disagree with this level of punishment. Duck Dynasty star Si Robertson was being interviewed and claimed that there is no such thing as an atheist since they use calendars and yell out, “Oh God help me” when in trouble. The Washington Post has exposed the fact that many of the workers building Donald Trump’s new hotel in DC are undocumented workers that had illegally crossed the southern border. Trump denies these facts. Cenk thinks the saddest part is that the undocumented workers will be fired so that Trump can cover his ass. Trump and Modern Family writer Danny Zuker got into a Twitter fight that was very one sided. After the latest revelations about Bill Cosby’s purchasing of drugs to rape women, Whoopi Goldberg and Raven Simone are holding onto their support. Video of the View segment where she vehemently continued to ask for proof. Jill Scott was previously one of the few that defended Cosby, but she has flipped on it after the latest facts. Florida State QB has been caught on video punching a woman in a bar. His attorney claimed that she hit him multiple times first and threw racial epithets at him. Ana doesn’t see this story as the same as Ray Rice punching his wife, and that the woman started the fight, even throwing the 1st punch. Cenk thinks size and gender should be taken into effect by guys getting into altercations. Thousands of people are looking to get the CEO of Reddit fired over getting rid of the employee that started the AMA portion of the site.
