Cenk hosting.  Videos of Cathy McMorris Rodgers delivering the GOP response to the SOTU.  She admitted that we can’t go back to the past healthcare system, so ObamaCare has at least pushed the conversation away from the lie that our system was fine.  McMorris Rodgers went to God and religion as a solution over any political action.  Rep Randy Weber tweeted that he’s waiting on the “Socialist Dictator” Pres Obama to come deliver the SOTU.  In the past, he revealed that he’s always trying to get attention and raise money.  Rep Steve Stockman told a Dallas newspaper that he walked out of the Address because he didn’t want to hear about Obama’s plans to abuse his powers.  Stockman then put out an obnoxious statement.  Rep Michael Grimm went off and threatened a reporter that asked him about the investigation into his funding for his 2010 campaign.  He first stood by his angry threats, but later apologized.  Cenk reviews several of Rep Grimm’s previous instances of anger.

Peter Schiff, an extreme conservative and CEO appeared on The Daily Show to discuss the minimum wage issue.  He outlined the type of person whose work is worth $2/hour as mentally retarded people.  He went on to say that not all people are created equal.  Cenk declares that Chris Christie’s chances are pretty much over after more revelations about his potential to be a part of the NJ bridge scandal.  A senior GOP official revealed that there is no way that these top henchmen would make these moves without being directed from the top.  AIPAC went after Debbie Wasserman Schultz, claiming that she is against Israel based on Dems not wanting more Iranian sanctions.  This sparked a firestorm of pushback against the group.

The many other Republican responses to the SOTU.  Mike Lee delivered the Tea Party response and Rand Paul delivered the official Rand Paul response.  Cenk points out how TYT’s online coverage of the SOTU was significantly larger than the “mighty Tea Party” that the media tends to praise.

  1. You know there’s a term for those who think calling people mentally retarded is politically correct, what is it again?

  2. The Affordable Care Act has been botched in Oregon, but I still pay 50 dollars less per month and can’t get canceled when I get sick, have a max pay out of 6000 per family member. My last plan charged me 30% in network for unlimited amount of charges. Now I can’t be bankrupted by one sickness. MEDICARE FOR ALL is the only way to reduce medical costs by half. It’s been done in every other 1st world country, the results speak for themselves. This FACT makes Republicon heads spin. Deal with it.

  3. Question listed above: Why are politicians such cowards? That is the only way to guarantee job security. Those that speak the truth to the people they serve get punished and no corporate cash. All the incentives are not in serving the American People. Money out of Politics NOW!

  4. I was uninsured before the Affordable Care Act because insurance was too expensive. Now I am uninsured because it is too expensive and along with that I now have to pay more than $95 in fines for not having insurance. Why does Cenk like the Affordable Care Act so much? Cenk, do you mine paying my fines for me since you like the law so much?

  5. I died at Cenk’s imitation of a Republican donor only looking for the most obnoxious, loud, and trolling Republicans to give to.
    “OOG OOG, ME LIKE JOKES OF SOCIALISM. UG.”

    1. From the Republican responses to the SOTU, I always love the insinuation that we’ve never, ever tried lower taxes or deregulation in America- that these are completely new, completely untested concepts, and if only we tried them, for the first time ever, they might work.

  6. Why are reporters such pussies? If anyone says they’re going to break you in half, you don’t go “Why? Why?” You step up to him and say, “Bring it on you little bitch.”

    1. Reporters aren’t pussies. If Mike had fought Grimm then the police would have jumped Mike and protected Grimm, ruining Mike’s career forever. Cenk explains what’s up when he explains Grimm thinks he is doing a favor. The proper thing to do would be to laugh and keep repeating what Grimm is threatening you with that way Grimm gets his career ruined.
