The recent terrorism warning was based on US surveillance of a conference call of all the top al-Qaeda leaders. Now the existence of US tapping of that line has been revealed, in a major leak. And in a major hypocrisy, there is no outcry for a leak investigation - because the government WANTS to make this leak. VIDEO of Jen Psaki talking about the leak. New York Times story about another NSA program that spies on content of communications, even if the people are not targeted. Spokespeople playing with words like target and bulk collection, and VIDEO of Jen Psaki dancing around the definition of the word evacuation. Kill list is disposition matrix. NY Times reports that the surveillance didn’t lead to any terrorists. Trouble at Fox. Drudge Report says that Megyn Kelly will replace Hannity at 9pm. Hannity’s style is strict Republican talking points, and the significance of this move is that his brand of talk is going out of favor. Ron Paul is coming out with a subscriber supported online show. Cenk Uygur - King of the Internet. Mike Huckabee’s bigoted comments on Islam. One of Mitch McConnell’s top advisers (campaign manager) has stated in a recorded phone call that he is not in favor of McConnell - holding his nose. Bill de’Blasio and the New York City mayor campaign. JP Morgan is under investigation by the Department of Justice for mortgage fraud. There is a long list of fraudulent activity that JP Morgan is involved in. Chris Wallace goes after Eric Cantor for his pointless votes in Congress. Lightning Round: John Lewis retracts his support of Edward Snowden. Eric Holder says he may do a sweeping rethinking of drug sentencing laws. Three new drone strikes in Yemen today. Cornell West criticized Summers as a legendary gangster with a high IQ in the service of the well-to-do.
