Cenk and Sam Seder hosting.  Michael Hastings has died in a fiery car accident early this morning at 4am.  Cenk thinks that at least a part of his death can be attributed to our police state.  Hastings was nervous about the government tracking him.  Mashup of some of his great moments on TYT.

Developments on the NSA spying story.  President Obama explained the validity of the program on the Charlie Rose show.  NSA Director Keith Alexander’s numbers on how many terrorist plots have been disrupted due to the NSA changed from one week ago until today.  Mashup of Alexander denying the capability of the U.S. to spy on Americans over the past year.  The reality of what was happening with the IRS scandal has finally been proven to be imagined.  A Conservative Republican IRS official has been telling the Congressional Committee, spearheaded by Darrell Issa, that he requested the heightened scrutiny of Tea Party groups to make them more efficient.  Despite the fact that Issa knew this for weeks, he’s leaked damaging information from the hearings, and hidden the information that would end the talk of scandals.
