Cenk hosting. The Pope spoke to Congress today and Cenk admits he kind of loves him. Reading through some of his progressive stances that clearly line up with Catholic belief. After the speech, the Pope greeted the huge crowd from a balcony and while standing next to him, Boehner couldn’t hold back tears. Video of this crying session as well as one moment where Marco Rubio appeared to be crying during the speech. Cenk doesn’t believe Rubio was crying when the subject was on immigrants. Just late last year, Rubio criticized the Pope for his stance on America working toward an agreement with Cuba. One Republican Congressman refused to attend the Pope’s appearance, claiming that since he’s acting like a Leftist politician, he’ll treat him like one.

Donald Trump is in yet another fight with Fox News. Video of Rich Lowry telling Megyn Kelly that Carly Fiorina cut Trump’s balls off in the last debate. Trump responded with tweets demanding an apology. Videos of Trump complaining to Morning Joe that Fox doesn’t treat him fairly by their poll coverage and allowing Rich Lowry to talk about his balls. Cenk predicts that Fox News will be the one left standing. Another cat fight between Eric Bolling and Geraldo over why some Middle Eastern countries hate us. Video of Geraldo getting in Bolling’s face. 13 year old Obama hating Conservative darling CJ Pearson released another video claiming that Obama blocked him on Twitter. Video of his latest annoying rant. Cenk points out that this kid has a big Conservative following because they feel they can use him for their agenda.

An altercation between a woman and a Boston police officer on a city bus was caught on tape. The other bus riders convinced the cop to put his gun away once he started to threaten her with it. Video of the fight. The Hajj pilgrimage is happening, where tons of Muslims are taking a trip to Mecca. Since there were so many people at one site, something sparked a stampede, killing 717 people. Cenk wonders where these believers’ God was when they were faced with death at the holiest site.

  1. I love you Cenk. What frustrates me is that you and Sam Harris actually are both making the same point, or different points along the same story. You both agree, I’m feeling you as a sentient, educated person who has watched hours and hours and hours of you and and also of Sam Harris, you do both agree. It’s just that you’re both misunderstanding one another. It feels like my two brothers are fighting. And it pains me. Because you’re both awesome.

  2. where was God when all those ppl died? He was yelling in their ears, “STOP RUNNING, WHAT ARE YOU DOING, DON’T RUN OVER EACH OTHER. WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH ALL OF YOU. STOP”
    That’s what I say.
    Too bad they can’t make that celebration happen more than once a year, but I know, how could you change a tradition that old.
    Also, how can every Muslim go to Meca? If I converted, no way could I afford to go there.
    I hope for a modern alternative that all can do and it won’t create such a crowd.

  3. What the Pope should have done was invite those people to go with him to help feed the poor, WITHOUT the cameras or press or entourage etc., just tag along with him! The Congressman, Gosar, is holding the Pope to standards that no one will hold Kim Davis to. Good Catholic indeed! LOL

    I think the fact that 1 Fox show has Trump on, for the purposes of dissing another Fox show, should show everyone, who has a brain cell, that they’re only goal is to create dissent!

    HAA… I wondered how long it would take you to find this kid. This kid is going to grow up to be the worst kind of human being! He is so full of himself there’s no way it can turn out well.

    Damn Cenk! I’m not sure if it’s brave or stupid for making those comments about the Mecca tragedy

  4. Always question religion and those who preach faith without evidence . All reality proves is a force created the universe with laws of physics ruling all matter in the universe.

    1. Actually, the known laws of physics and mathematics break down when they’re used to explain the Big Bang theory so.. yeh… there’s that!

  5. The show has been playing so slow! Is there something wrong with the player? All my other apps and stuff are playing fine. :(
