Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Kanye West has ruffled feathers again after the Grammy Awards last night when Beck beat Beyonce for album of the year. When Beck hit the stage to accept the award, Kanye acted like he would interrupt like he did to Taylor Swift. During an interview afterwards, Kanye voiced his opinion about how Beck should give his award to Beyonce. Bruce Jenner was involved in a major car accident that killed a woman. The cause of the accident is still being investigated. A robot that can have AI uploaded into it has been created. The potential uses of the robot would be to virtually clone oneself in robot form. Cenk and Ana talk about the potential problems with it, Ana worries that her man will leave her for her clone. The military has decided to reclassify alcohol as a weapon since there are a significant number of cases where people are drugged with drinks before being sexually assaulted. Cenk is generally opposed to this rule, as its unnecessary and potentially confusing since so many people drink voluntarily before being assaulted. A Canadian woman won a $1.5 million lawsuit after a car accident damaged a part of her brain, turning her into a sex crazed dominatrix. TYT Supreme Court rules 3-1 in favor of the woman. A Detroit woman has been arrested of killing her friend with a slow cooker over a political argument.

Cenk hosting today. A prison break in Brazil happened over the weekend after two women dressed in skimpy police officer outfits showed up with drinks and offering sex to guards. When they passed out from the spiked drinks, the guards were handcuffed, allowing 26 inmates to escape. Sheldon Adelson is pushing for legislation to ban online gambling since he owns several Vegas casinos. His excuse that he doesn’t want people getting corrupted by the evils of online gambling. Adelson spent $13.2 million on candidates that won in the midterm cycle, the same candidates that are following Adelson’s orders. Purchased Rep Lindsey Graham claimed that online gambling is an avenue for criminal or terrorist activity. After a district judge ruled against Alabama’s state ban on same sex marriages, the SCOTUS upheld the ruling. Now that Alabama is the 37th state to allow gay marriage, Cenk is calling the win for gay marriage across the country. After Pres Obama spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast about all religions having killers that did it in the name of their God, Conservatives lost their minds. Video of Obama’s original remarks. Video compilation of pundits calling the point ridiculous and stupid. Eric Bolling also took on the subject in claiming that the number of violent killings from Christians totals zero. Cenk details the many horrific instances of murder and violence carried out by Christians. Tucker Carlson, Mike Huckabee, and EW Jackson also claimed that Christians delivered Black people from slavery and Jim Crow. Pictures of the KKK openly and obviously doing their hateful acts in church and in front of burning crosses. Cenk also reads some verses from the Bible that preach obtaining and keeping slaves. President Obama has come out against the Senate filibuster now that the GOP has control of the chamber. He neglected to push for this when Republicans broke filibuster records with their historic opposition to everything he attempts to do. Cenk figures that Obama is now pushing for it because he agrees with portions of the Republican agenda.
