Gina Grad joins Cenk for SCS.  Steve Forbes wrote an article that tries to convince people that the super rich are fixing humanity.  That we need to facilitate making billionaires trillionaires so that more can trickle down to the rest of us.  Another CEO took a swipe at President Obama for making things worse for citizens like him, by implementing rules to force private equity firms to be honest with their customers’ money.  Cenk points out how these guys’ money has grown due to Obama’s policies.  A study shows that a majority of people that believe racism is over when they see pictures of one successful Black person.  Cenk points out that the visual of President Obama, compiled with his milquetoast policies, is a perfect catalyst for this thought process.  A funeral home dressed up a recently deceased old lady’s body as if she was at the bar, with a drink and a cigarette in hand. A photojournalism website features ex-Muslims that have shed the cover up culture and now wear more revealing clothes.  A Florida man has been arrested for trafficking, prostitution, and enslaving women in a home.  A Spiderman sculpture that oversaw a kid’s playground in Korea was given a significant boner.  The community forced the creator to take it down.  A Canadian man fractured his penis while having sex with his wife and after going into surgery to repair his member, it came out shorter.  He is now suing the hospital for ruining his marriage.

Cenk hosting today.  He starts by bragging about how he predicted that the Spurs would win the NBA Finals in 5 games.  Cenk reads the hater responses to his original prediction.  Continuing story of Chelsea Clinton’s high paid salary on NBC News.  Michael Hiltzik of the LA Times backed up Cenk’s theory.  Hillary Clinton told the New York Times that the book that has had the biggest influence on her life is The Bible.  This answer reminds Cenk of George W. Bush’s answer that Christ is his favorite philosopher. ISIS or ISIL are publicizing their alleged horrific activities as they capture more Iraqi cities and towns.  Cenk isn’t assuming these pictures and accounts are valid yet.  Republicans are criticizing Obama for his response to Iraq, led by Sen Graham, who wants more war.  Fox News’ Martha MacCallum spoke with Andy Card about how George W. Bush was right about Iraq.  Video of Pat Robertson pointing out that we were sold a bill of goods on the invasion of Iraq in the first place. New poll shows that the most disgusted group that people would want to have as in-laws is Atheists. Show notes by Jayar Jackson
