Cenk hosting today. 3 Chechen women catfished ISIS recruiters and swindled $3300 out of them for traveling money under false pretenses. They were busted by authorities for taking part in online recruitment for terrorism. Cenk thinks they should let them go. Chris Christie targeted the two states that have legalized marijuana by saying he’d enforce federal law over state law when he’s president. Video of him doubling down on his assertions on Fox when asked about being in the minority on this issue. There is confusion within Fox News about how they will select which GOP candidates will be allowed to participate in the debate on the network. Since it's based on candidates’ positioning in polls, each campaign is lobbying Roger Ailes for acceptance. Donald Trump is lowering expectations about his upcoming debate performance. Video of him saying he may do great or horribly since he’s not a debater. Bill O’Reilly demonized the Black Lives Matter movement. Videos of him and Andrea Tantaros calling it radical and dismissive of White Culture. Video of O’Reilly telling an opposing voice that he is the one person that sheds the most light on Black lives being lost. Sarah Palin went on O’Reilly’s show to talk about how Planned Parenthood kills more Black people than the followers of the Confederate flag. Video of her rambling about PP targeting Black people, but won’t admit that she’s insinuating they’re racist. Another Kentucky pastor has been bitten by a poisonous snake and died 4 hours later after refusing medical treatment. Cenk remembers previous instances of people dying after being bitten in church. President Obama is reported to be considering an order to force the sources of dark money during elections to disclose. Cenk rails on how much we’ve lost our democracy to the rich donors of elections. Presidential candidate Bobby Jindal spoke to CNN about the immigration policy and refused to answer what he plans to do with the 11 million immigrants already here.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Update on Mia Farrow story. She tweeted the business address of the MN dentist that killed a lion in Zimbabwe, but has received threats herself from people online.

Her attorney tried to explain away her obvious threats. Alabama is threatening to take away the parental rights of a pregnant inmate that wants to get an abortion.
