Ana joins Cenk for SCS. George Clooney was just married over the weekend. The interesting part was that all the guests were forced to leave their cell phones outside and were given “burner phones” they could use during the ceremony that would link them to any leaked photos that guests may sell. Cenk is focused on the fact that his wife is Muslim. Question of whether or not we would sacrifice this much privacy to live the life Clooney has. Ana imagines if Americans got this riled up over real issues, like political problems we face. TMZ was upset over this development. CNN anchors spoke about whether or not Clooney ending his bachelor life is a good thing and Cenk wants to have that conversation. Ana disputes the common theory that men don’t want to get married and women do. Kansas is going to fill the hole in their budget shortfall by selling tons of sex toys obtained from seizures. The list of items being sold is hilarious. Cenk points out that their shortfall came from Gov. Brownback’s giveaways to the rich through tax breaks. The NY Post's coverage of Chelsea Clinton’s new baby was a bit harsh, calling it a new "Liberal Crybaby". TYT Supreme Court rules on NY Post. 4-0 Not guilty. Update on the NM police shooting and killing a homeless man that was camping outside on public land. Video of the original video of the execution is played again. Audio of one of the shooting officers has surfaced that shows him talking about shooting the man in the penis, just a few hours before killing him. CA Gov. Jerry Brown has vetoed a bill that would force police to get a search warrant before using a drone to spy on citizens. Jerry Brown also signed legislation that outlaws the Gay Panic Defense, which is used to get lenient sentences for homophobes that attack or kill gay people they feel are hitting on them. Gov. Brown also signed the “Yes Means Yes” law into law as well. It changes the way college campuses approach rape cases.

Cenk hosts TYT today. President Obama told 60 Minutes that the intelligence department underestimated the ISIS threat as it built itself amongst the chaos of Iraq. He also said that we overestimated the willingness of Iraqis to fight. Obama outlines why we have to go in militarily to disrupt their networks in a video. Cenk is annoyed by Obama’s lack of clarity or understanding of how to do anything. Videos of Fox News’ Chris Wallace going after Obama spox Blinken over the Administration’s use of the authorization after they officially came out against the authorization to use force are also shown. In addition, Wallace grilled Blinken on Obama restarting the war after declaring the decade of war is over. Cenk points out that the past few Spox and advisors have similar names. Khorasan, the newly publicized terror group that we’re bombing in Syria has some usefulness for our scare tactics. New evidence shows that since we already declared that ISIS isn’t an imminent threat, we needed an immediate enemy threat that justifies our aggression, so we created this one in order to bomb targets connected to ISIS. A new president has been elected in Afghanistan and we’ve announced that we’ll be keeping 10K troops in the country indefinitely. Oddly enough, there was a suicide bomber near the location of the swearing in ceremony for the new president. Cenko Unchained on the miserable failure that is our intelligence community. An Oklahoma man returned to his job and killed a few co-workers after he was fired, including the beheading of an older woman. Since he recently converted to Islam and obsessed over Islamic violence, Conservatives are screaming terrorism has arrived here at home. Videos of Fox and Friends discussing this with Rick Perry, claiming that beheading hasn’t been heard of until ISIS came out with their videos. Joe Scarborough is in disbelief over the fact that this was called workplace violence and not terrorism. The Umbrella Revolution is ongoing in Hong Kong. It got its name from the way protesters used umbrellas to protect them from the projectiles being launched by law enforcement. Their anger stems from the government’s attempt to limit the citizens’ election freedom of who to have on the ballot.
