John Iadarola, Ben Mankiewicz, and Steve Oh hosting. Indiana governor Mike Pence accepted the fixes to the Freedom of Religion law to quell the outrage over their legislation to allow discrimination against gays. Indianapolis went into disaster mode by trying to welcome gay and lesbian supporters and their businesses for tourism. The huge gamer convention GenCon goes there annually, generating $50 million for the city. Twitter activity from Iranian residents show gleeful selfies in front of the TV as Obama spoke about the the framework of a deal with Iran over their nuclear program. Happiness from Iranian residents will surely annoy Conservatives in America. U.S. Sugar in Florida wanted to show grassroots support for their desire to avoid the state from buying land for environmental purposes, so they sent out an ad for actors to play protesters on their behalf. The Tea Party and U.S. Sugar teamed up to get these “supporters” on board for $75.

It is projected that Islam will be the largest religion in the world by 2070. The Twitter hashtag #ThingsJesusNeverSaid has taken off to mock people that believe Jesus was all about violence and exclusion. Karl Rove was confronted by an Iraq War vet that asked him to apologize for taking them into a senseless war that would negatively affect them for life. Video of his question and Rove’s indignant answer, refusing to apologize.

  3. For the record even if rove and bush had been 100% right about Iraq ….he should still be apologizing and saying he wished it didn’t have to happen. No one should be that arrogant about war.

  4. Karl Rove and George Bush did more damage to the USA than Saddam Hussein could have done in his wildest dreams.
    Thousands dead.
    Tens of thousands maimed.
    Trillions of dollars wasted.

  5. I was just driving through Oxnard today, And as I was smelling the Oxnard air I thought to my self, the beach in Oxnard is way better the Malibu or Venice beach.

  7. The Religious Study isn’t correct. I predict by 2100, the only religion will be Zoroastrians! LOL Never Know! :P “In Zoroaster We Trust?” BUT, by 2100; i think Florida being under water may cause many to re-think religion in general. (I would Hope) #ThingsJesusNeverSaid “Have you heard Xeno’s Good Word??”

  8. STEVE O Doesn’t have HBOgo?? LOL He said he DVR’d “Going Clear” Doc on HBO; and i was like “DVR?” People still have DVR’s :P (Bust Nuts)

  9. OMG! I know that florida guyHAHA ,he’s nice, bouncer at south florida clubs yeras ago. BTW, breakfast is CHEAP in FL….Try finding breakfast in Seattle downtown on a wekend lol

  13. When talking about Indiana, it would be great to do the research about the issue and what driving the policy.

  14. I love tyt dearly, but seriously someone there has to know how to properly archive data. Get an intern or something. It feels like nearly one day a week is missing or corrupted..
