Ben, John, and Elliot Hill of The LipTV hosting. Russia has started preemptive airstrikes in Syria against Islamist extremists in the region. The Taliban has taken control over most of the city of Kunduz, Afghanistan. Rep Kevin McCarthy is gearing up for a run to become the next Speaker, so he went on Hannity’s show to prove his Conservative accolades. Video of McCarthy claiming that the Benghazi Committee was put together to tear down Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and he’s on board for that kind of leadership. During the Planned Parenthood hearing, Rep Grothman asked what the purpose is of Planned Parenthood since as a guy, he can go anywhere for healthcare. Bernie Sanders spoke out about how Pres Obama took too long to realize that the GOP hates him and will never work with him. John is comforted by Sanders recognizing the atmosphere, since Obama didn’t. Jeb Bush spoke with an NFL show on SiriusXM and voiced his support for the Redskins name. Video of his answer, claiming that Native American tribes don’t find it offensive, either. Coincidentally, Redskins owner Dan Snyder recently gave $100,000 to the Super PAC that supports Jeb.

Ana joins Ben for SCS. Apple app store has rejected an app called Drones Plus, that shows areas where drone strikes have happened. Apple claimed it was excessively crude, unentertaining, or objectionable content. 8 players from Iran’s female soccer team are being accused of being men posing as women. Iran is very open to gender reassignment surgery and trans issues. Ben isn’t buying that these players are transgender women, but simply men being put on the team as ringers. Discussion about the potential of this becoming an issue in American sports. The Saudi prince accused of raping a woman in his Beverly Hills home has posted the $300K bail and flew out of the country on a private jet. Ana doesn’t think it's likely that he’ll return to face the rape charges. A new report shows that in Madison, WI police are far more likely to arrest Black kids and teenagers. 1 out of 3 Black kids are targeted and arrested. Ben tells a story of his reporting days when he was forced to cover a fight on a school bus that the local station called a “race riot.” During a conference on women in business in SF, Gayle King led a panel discussion with the President of YouTube and Jessica Alba, where she focused a large majority of her questions on the women’s kids rather than their profession. Talk about whether or not this line of questioning was inappropriate.
