Cenk hosting today. A Brigadier General is under fire for an email exchange he had with another commander where he called Rep Renee Ellmers smoking hot. When the recipient asked for confirmation of hotness, the General responded by saying he had masturbated over the Congresswoman 3 times in 2 hours. Cenk thinks they should let him go. Paul Vallely, a retired General and Fox News analyst was speaking to the Tea Party late last year and spoke about how he’d lead an armed revolution on the White House and Capitol building. Cenk imagines how Fox News would respond if a retired general during the Bush Admin had said these things to a collection of Black supporters. President Obama will announce that he will sign an executive order to raise the minimum wage to $10.10. Although Boehner admitted that this is completely within Obama’s Constitutional power, he spoke about how he won’t let the president run roughshod all over him. Cenk shows graphs that prove how obstructionist the Republicans have been. Videos of Rep Steve King condemning Obama for this plan. The White House sent Valerie Jarrett out to clarify that Obama wasn’t trying to be provocative with this plan.
A pastor in Colorado Springs has been arrested for seeking out gay men to arrest and rob them. He posed as a U.S. Marshall, took all of their belongings, and left. List of companies that use many tax haven schemes to pay little to no taxes.
The NSA Board that was put together to fix the problems presented many useful ideas, so Obama watered those down to a 5% change. Lightning Round. The Turkish PM sent a hologram of himself speaking to a crowd at an event he couldn’t make it to in person. Cenk sifts through Moveon.org’s list of national priorities. Senate Dems are giving up on unemployment benefits since Republicans are fighting them on it. Rep Vance McAlister has invited one of the Duck Dynasty stars to the SOTU tonight.
