Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Muslims in Abu Dhabi are up in arms over Selena Gomez visiting a mosque there and purposefully flashing her ankles while inside. She and friends also posed at the mosques while openly laughing, a direct violation of the rules of the faith. Actress Kaley Cuoco was asked about feminism and she responded by saying she isn’t a feminist because she hasn’t ever really faced inequality, so she hasn’t had to fight the way feminists do. Ana defends her stance. An anonymous man went on Reddit to talk about his deformity; his two penises. He has now written a memoir about his life with two penises, even speaking with Rolling Stone. He’s claimed that he’s had sex with up to 1000 men and women with his two 10” members. A Pittsburgh police chief held up a sign in solidarity with citizens that have issues with police departments and ending racism within the police force. After an outcry, he tried explaining himself and apologized to aggrevied officers. In Perth, Australia, a mining boom is happening. As a result, there is also a surge in the sex worker industry, so Slate did a piece on the many different types of prostitution that is being offered. Hasbro is apologizing for their latest Play Doh product that looks like a penis to extract the PlayDoh. Finally, they called it ‘The Extruder.’ Show notes by Jayar Jackson Hour 2 Source Articles: Sign up for The Young Turks daily source articles email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/PLlqD Love Me Two Times: The Man With a Double Penis Speaks Out http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/features/double-dick-dude-two-penises-interview-20141231 Selena Gomez Can't Stop Flaunting Her Ankles at Abu Dhabi Mosque http://defamer.gawker.com/selena-gomez-cant-stop-flaunting-her-ankles-at-abu-dhab-1677100231 Kaley Cuoco Says Her Comments On Feminism Were 'Taken Out Of Context' http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/04/kaley-cuoco-feminism_n_6413552.html Police Chief Who Promised to "Challenge Racism" Responds to Angry Cops http://gawker.com/police-chief-who-promised-to-challenge-racism-respond-1677413037 Whoops, Play-Doh Toy Looks Exactly Like A Penis (PHOTOS) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/30/play-doh-tool-toy-cake-penis_n_6396154.html

Cenk hosts TYT. Chris Christie was in Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’ box at the playoff game on Sunday. Video of Jones rejecting Christie’s high five attempt after the Cowboys won. Cenk dives into the potential political ramifications of Christie’s move to cozy up with Jones. In the past, he shut down state officials from gaining access to sky boxes and hobnobbing with rich people, with one exception, himself. David Siegel, the billionaire that told his employees in 2012 that if Obama is reelected, it would threaten their jobs and benefits has reported that things have never been better with business. In response, he’s raising the wages of his employees that were making minimum wage, but won’t admit that his prediction of Obama causing the business to go bankrupt was wrong. Video of the reality show that showed Siegel’s extreme lifestyle while building the largest house in America. Gallup poll showed that American people’s #1 concern is politicians over the previous #1, the economy. Amazing Fact of the Day. Of the 46 Dems in the Senate, over 60 million people voted for them, but of the 54 GOPers, only 40 million voted for them. Despite 20 million more people supporting Democrats in office, Republicans control both the House and Senate, due to gerrymandering and giving small states the same amount of Senatorial power as large ones. The Wall Street Journal published an article that explains the issue of Net Neutrality through the position of Republicans, claiming that it stifles innovation and causes new regulations to be put in place. Despite all of the rouge moves GOP is planning to make, they can all be void if Obama doesn’t sign them. Mia Love, the newly elected Black Republican woman, has given Steve Scalise a pass for speaking to a White Supremacy group in 2002. Videos of her pardoning him and asking for us to move on and do the business of the American people. Videos of Newt Gingrich defending Scalise by comparing it to Jeremiah Wright and referencing Mia Love’s pardon, using their only Black people to excuse his actions. St. Louis prosecutor Bob McCullough is being sued by a member of the grand jury for not being able to speak out about their stance on the case after McCullough went on a media tour characterizing the jury’s perspective. The juror also points out that the manner in which McCullough approached the WIlson case focused on the victim instead of the accused. Mike Huckabee is leaving Fox News, indicating that he will be running for President again. Rand Paul staff members are buying up Google ad space on Huckabee announcement and Huckabee Common Core, preparing to rip him to shreds over issues they can nail him on. Cenk reads through the absolutely insane things Huckabee has said about the biggest political issues, including his Birtherism.
