Cenk hosting today. Follow-up on the picture controversy over Michelle Obama being upset that the president was taking selfies with the Danish Prime Minister. The man that took the pictures with Obama and the prime minister came out to clear the air about how senseless the rhetoric was. Although Ted Cruz took the trip to South Africa, he walked out while Raul Castro was speaking, but since no cameras picked it up, his spokesperson notified the media of what happened and submitted a statement from Cruz to accompany the publicity stunt. Video of Sen Patty Murray speaking about how great the budget deal is that she finalized with Paul Ryan. Cenk deciphers the details of the deal and who will pay for it. Despite the things the GOP has gained from this deal, many Republicans are sour on it. Those include Rand Paul and Tom Coburn. The Volcker Rule of the Dodd-Frank bill has been implemented on the banks. The catch is that the banks will be in charge of policing whether or not they are in violation.
Oklahoma raised private money to put a huge monument to the 10 Commandments on public government ground. In response, a New York based Satanists group plans to put a Satan statue there, too. The state has resisted the 2nd move, wrongfully calling the state a Christian entity. Despite the rejection, a Hindu group has piled on, requesting to put a statue up of their deity. Videos of Gretchen Carlson’s Fox News show that pitted Bill Donahue and Rabbi Schmuley against the Pres of an Atheists group. A cake maker in Colorado is up on discrimination charges for rejecting a gay couple’s wedding cake. Cenk sympathizes with the cake maker, and votes not guilty in the TYT Supreme Court.
