Cenk hosting.  A Mexican Congresswoman is catching heat for her comments about gay sex, deeming it unworthy of marriage since both partners can’t look each other in the eyes.  More on the possibility of Janet Yellin getting the Fed job over Larry Summers.  Neil Irwin of the Washington Post outlined some very positive characteristics of Yellin, claiming that they are negatives in getting the job.  Potential fallout from the British detention of Glenn Greenwald’s partner David Miranda at London Heathrow airport.  Miranda plans on filing charges against the government for their actions.  British officials responded by claiming that they have the right to protect their national security by reclaiming stolen information that can assist terrorists.

Although the British government denied knowledge of detaining Miranda and involving America in the plan, the WH Spokesman admitted that we were given a heads up beforehand.  He also continuously pointed out that Britain carried out the detention on their own, without any direction from the U.S.  The editor of the Guardian revealed that the publication was threatened by the British government before thugs were sent in to destroy the hard drives that seemingly contained the info.  Cenk points out that this is reminiscent of what the Gestapo would do.  Ted Cruz’ birther drama continues.  Since he has dual citizenship with both USA and Canada by birth, he renounced his Canadian citizenship.  In talking about the situation with Mary Matalin, he claimed that he must be a threat and doing something right since some people are criticizing him.  Ted Cruz’ camp went after Rand Paul’s group, claiming that his birth is an issue.

A Chief Rabbi in Britain said that multiculturalism has had its day and we should move on.  Rupert Murdoch tweeted in agreement with the Rabbi, pointing out that Muslims find it the hardest to integrate.  A study checked the voting behavior of our Congressmen, indicating that their votes went in favor of their wealthy constituents, and never in favor of the poor.  Lightning round.
