Cenk hosting today.  More of Edward Snowden’s revelations about America’s spying tactics and which countries we target, including some allies for trade purposes, not for national security.  Edward Snowden appears to be stuck in Moscow after his attempt to escape to Ecuador was stamped out by Biden.  Putin’s response to giving him up was negative towards the U.S. but doesn’t want us to think he’s working with him.  Obama derangement syndrome applies to supportive Liberals as well as disapproving Conservatives.  Melissa Harris-Perry criticized Snowden over the weekend in defense of Obama.  It sounded very similar to Bob Schieffer’s bashing about a month ago.  Bush defended Obama Admin and the NSA program.  Michael Hayden thinks that Americans should know more about the program even though he’d prefer we don’t know.  Julian Assange spoke with George Stephanopoulos about how Snowden isn’t a criminal, but a hero.

 

Huge protests in Egypt generated 14 million protesters in the streets throughout the country over Mohammad Morsey’s government.  The tragic wildfires in Arizona has killed 19 firefighters.  Although climate change didn’t cause the start of the fires, conditions due to climate change cause them to be able to burn more fiercely.  After the New Yorker’s front page depicted Bert & Ernie as a couple snuggled up as DOMA was overturned, Conservatives responded with outrage, included Bryan Fischer calling it child endangerment and abuse.
