Cenk is hosting the 1st hour. Scott Walker drops out of the GOP race. Sarah Palin speaks out on Ahmed. She is suspicious about Ahmed’s homemade and him not answering to authority. Richard Dawkins felt that everyone was fooled. He believes that Ahmed planned this whole thing about the clock he invented to get media attention and to get arrested. Bill Maher feels Ahmed should get an apology, however, he feels in the last 30 years that young muslims have caused some serious violence. Donald Trump is even more hot water over of of his supporter’s comments about Obama being a Muslim. Video of Trump claiming that he dealt with it better than the way McCain dealt with his supporter that said the same thing in 2008. Video of McCain “ripping” the mic away from the woman the way Trump described. Video of Trump claiming that we actually do have a problem with Muslims. Video of Kilmeade claiming that Chuck Todd asking others about whether or not they would allow a Muslim president is the ultimate gotcha question. Trump answered the question by saying some people think we already have one. Ben Carson began the firestorm by telling MTP that a Muslim shouldn’t be president because Sharia Law doesn’t match up with the Constitution. Cenk reads the parts of the Constitution that disagree with Carson’s stance. He doubled down after outrage ensued and claimed that Islam forces their beliefs on others, ignoring the celebratory nature of Christian politicians pushing their beliefs on everyone else. Bobby Jindal chimed in when no one asked him his opinion. Chris Matthews shouted at Jorge Ramos for suggesting that the media didn’t challenge the Bush Administration when he launched the war in Iraq. Video of the aggressive exchange. Cenk points out the times Matthews supported Bush and kissed his ass over the Iraq War. Videos of Matthews saying Bush belongs on Mt. Rushmore and that he was too towel snappy with Bush on the night of his biggest victory. Brian Kilmeade went after the Pope as his visit to the U.S. approaches. Due to his stances on climate change, capitalism, and our involvement in the Middle East, Kilmeade said he should just stay away, this is the wrong country to come to. Video of his exchange with Chris Wallace over the Pope. The lack of debates on the Democratic side has some wondering if the DNC is doing it to protect Hillary Clinton from being exposed as not very electable. The DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz was booed and heckled for its decision to avoid debates. The apparent fix goes further as Larry Lessig has been kept off of polls to even see if he would qualify for the debates.

Cenk was house sitting for a friend. He wasn’t sure if he needed to change the bed sheets or not. In the beginning, Cenk felt weird but a few days later he got really comfortable. Cenk is annoyed about sport radio. He feels you should never talk bad about UCLA or USC unless a person attended the school.  When Ana worked in radio there was one guy that helped her out and made her feel good.
