Cenk hosting today.  Dr. Ablow spoke on Fox News about the shooting and killing at a movie theatre over a texting incident.  He blamed “Data Rage,” similar to Road Rage for the killing, not the use of guns in a theatre.  Robert Gates, former Sec of Defense continues to interview for his book tour and gave his opinions about Sen Harry Reid and Edward Snowden.  He called Reid disgraceful for saying that the Iraq War was lost while we were still over there in large numbers.  He also called Snowden a traitor.  Snowden has revealed that the NSA has technology to tap into computers that some of our enemies use to spy on us and steal our information.  Cenk isn’t sure that Snowden should’ve revealed this information, since it isn’t targeting Americans, and it could hinder our intelligence for national security purposes.  

Israel stirs up beef with SoS John Kerry. Israel’s Defense Minister does not believe that Kerry is competent in Israeli-Palestinian issues. Jay Carney strikes back in defense of Kerry. The US expects the PM of Israel to resolve this matter. Wisconsin Republican lawmakers are floating a bill that allows for a 7-day work week, following union crushing efforts by Scott Walker. Cat fight between Bill O’Reilly and Mary Katherine Ham continues, with Ham coming back with guns blazing after O’Reilly was rude to her on a segment about the legalization of marijuana. Freedom Industries, the company that leaked toxic chemicals in West Virginia, has been found to be connected to Koch Industries. Also the founder of Freedom Industries happened to be a cocaine dealer in the past.

Clip of Cenk arguing with GOProud member on MSNBC. The founder of the organization recently left, stating he is no longer a republican. He cannot bring himself to carry the republican label any longer, and does not agree with the direction they are heading. He says this is because of the parties tolerance of bigotry. Brian Schweitzer unveils information that shows that Obama and his administration actively fought against a single payer option of healthcare during his reelection campaign. Obama actually asked Schweitzer to step away because his voice was not helping.

  5. 100.000 of these spying NSA plugs; seriously, sure most on the list are “baddies”, but can someone tell us how many they are using for spying on European Union institutions, when is it acceptable to see the US as one of these bad guys, if this keeps going, they’ll become an insurmountable threat to the rest of the world

    wow I’m so happy the evil Soviet Empire has fallen, all hail the United States of Corporations and scary Homeland securities

  6. Gun-rage: when people are emboldened to pick fights they normally wouldn’t because they know if things go wrong they can end it with the gun in their pocket.

  8. It isn’t just republicans that hate gay people, this is a conservative thing that’s fundamental to the movement. Conservatives (fascists are just extreme conservatives) have always argued based on culture and exclusion rather than politics or policy. They always cast other people as the other, and that ranges from calling them gay, to calling them foreigners. Even if GOProud went and started their own conservative party, they’d immediately find themselves surrounded by bigots who hate them because that is how conservatives argue and rally the troops.
