Ana joins Cenk, Jimmy, and Ben for the second hour. The Senate Inteligence Committee is investigating the NSA’s domestic surveillance program and the FISA court. The collection and storage of metadata by the NSA is far from harmless and should not be minimized by politicians. There is evidence the program has been abused by participants. Of course! Jonathan Denver, a Dodgers fan attending a game, was stabbed to death by a Giants fan in San Francisco. The murderer hadn’t even attend the game. Everyone on the panel except Ben is bored by baseball. Ben is starting to be bored by NFL football. Adults just shouldn’t fight in America as long as guns and other weapons could be involved.

Cenk reads #TYTLive tweets. Kanye gives an interview trying to bring awareness to classism and self-hate, but still comes across as arrogant. Ana finds his egoism refreshing, but also thinks it is just a mask for a deeper insecurity. Jimmy Kimmel made a sketch with children mocking his BBC interview and catches flak for ignorance. Self-promotion seems to be a necessity for entertainers in modern times. Kanye retaliates against Kimmel via twitter. The chairman of Barilla is refusing to put a gay couple in any of its ads. Cenk gives member shout outs.
