More anger and fallout from the Court ruling on DOMA and Prop 8 in California. Pat Robertson wondered if Justice Kennedy has any gay clerks, making him change his mind. A Pennsylvania State Rep was prevented from speaking on the Floor by a Republican colleague about the gay marriage issue because he felt it would be against God’s Will. Video of Rep Huelskamp spoke with CNN about how he thinks the DOMA ruling will prompt people to come out harder against gay rights/marriage. Chris Christie came out and called the ruling a mistake. Talk about how this will hurt Christie in ‘16. The Family Research Council started a new prayer campaign to combat the onslaught of gay marriage with a logo that was suspiciously homosexual.
After Wendy Davis filibustered and stopped the sweeping abortion clinic bill in Texas, Rick Perry spoke at the National Right to Life conference and pointed out that Davis was a teenage mother herself and hasn’t learned from her experience. Wendy Davis responded by calling his approach, “small words.” The Senate has passed an Immigration Reform bill, which puts the pressure on John Boehner to come through in the House. Potential fixes with the Voting Rights Act.
Dennis talks about a Code Pink member that is on a hunger strike to release Gitmo detainees. One 60+ year old member jumped the fence to the lawn of the White House during a protest.

No one has a funeral for a miscarriage?? I can tell you first hand it’s a heart rending experience that takes some time getting over that involves quite serious amounts of mourning if you actually wanted and had been trying for a baby. The fact it happens largely in secret and the “body” isn’t easy to pick up and bury doesn’t mean shit.
It’s not a flippant argument. 20 weeks is only a few weeks before it’s viable outside the womb. You should have a DAMN good excuse for letting it get that far. I’m vehemently pro-choice, but let’s not be blind to the reality here, 20 weeks is a still born baby here in Australia where we don’t have all this pro-life BS. You get a BIRTH CERTIFICATE FOR YOUR DEAD BABY. I don’t care if someone has 500 abortions at 6 weeks. Hell, give out free TVs with every abortion purchased, I wouldn’t bat an eyelid, i’ll warm up the speculum for you and give you a hug on the way out. Let’s not pretend that 20 weeks isn’t a big deal and casually dismiss it as a miscarriage.. as though that should even be dismissed.
Dennis Trainor NEEDS to be invited back to TYT. He made some great points.
Can anyone (a TYT staffer who is reading these) identify the intro music for me? The “bumper” music used to be routinely published, which I sort of miss
I think it’s all generic creative commons stuff now :( I don’t think they’re artists a normal person would recognize
Thanks

Oh look it’s Davis Fleetwood
Thanks for the shout out :)
OMG, its such a drain when cenk’s not around, i couldn’t even watch it up until half way! let me know when cenk gets back!
Cenk can be a bit of a drain, too, sometimes.
On the kill list- I’d rather be punched in the face by a Democrat than a Republican, too, because there’s a slight chance the Democrat might feel bad about it. That’s not really the point, TYT would normally discuss the face-punching. And you’re completely lost when you discuss it as an inevitability and are simply discussing the preference to which it happens.
Omg I used to watch Hobo Kelly hoping she would say my name. I guess that dates me.

I am aprehensive about listening to the show today. I just know I will be raging for an hour over the State Priest Michael Shure’s nonsensical rants.
“state priest”, nice term! After a rousing round of disspointment last week, shure knocks it out of the park with a stellar sermon of trusting our leader!
Trainor’s on point. His tacit acknowledgement of the action needed to be taken, is …understood. “Branding brag-a-doche.” Hahhaha!
I’d love to see Dennis Trainor again. Big fan since Davis Fleetwood. Would make an interesting debate from Cenk’s left for a change.
I’m a big Dennis Trainor fan, too, after hearing his point of view tonight. I hope to see a LOT more of him and will definitely access his show going forward.
Michael…I find it extremely troubling that you’d trust ANYONE with a kill list, much less Obama. LOOK AT WHAT HE’S DONE SO FAR! What has he been transparent about? What honestly gives you any iota of certainty that Obama can be trusted, especially given everything he’s done?
I keep hearing people substitute “transparency” for “owning up to something when they’re caught doing it.”
Michael seems more and more like a partisan Dem. What’s up with that? We should be talking about policies not Dem political advantage. To hell with the Dems if they don’t do what we elected them to do.
I love when the Friday shows go up early.
Took the words right out my mouth… p.s. TyT studios aka rebel headquarters should offer Snowden Asylum
At least do an interview, something like that would probably get TYT another billion views
Yeah, but Thursday’s Hour 1 still hasn’t been posted.
