Cenk hosting. ISIS has released a propaganda rap video with images of brutal killings in the West, specifically in NYC. This imagery reminded Cenk of a Conservative group’s video that depicted a nuclear explosion in NYC. Both sides have the same objective to scare their viewers. A study of the most and least religious countries in the world show that Thailand is the most religious, with Armenia at #2. China is the least religious, with Japan coming in 2nd to last. Cenk is hopeful that eventually religion will come to an end. Both Bill O’Reilly and Rep Hank Johnson spoke separately about how it is “Open Season” on particular men in America. Johnson asserted that Black men are the targets, while O’Reilly thinks the targets are White men. Videos of each. Chris Christie has a new proposal on Social Security and Medicaid. He wants to cut it for seniors making over $80K and eliminate it for those making $200K. Cenk exposes how he’s acting like he’s appealing to the regular American, when he’s actually working for the super rich and corporations. Congress believes it has a new outline for a deal to block Obama’s plan to stop Iran’s nuclear bomb program. It starts with a temporary stop, which could lead to a complete halt. This is a plan to push us back onto the track to war with Iran. Cenk goes into the details of what would have to be done in an attack on Iran after Tom Cotton claimed that it will only take a couple of days. Oil companies and war corporations that fund many politicians’ campaigns would be ok with oil instability to occur in the Middle East due to an attack on Iran, causing prices to skyrocket and make them even more money. Hillary Clinton has announced that she is in favor of a Constitutional amendment that would get money out of politics. She is projected to raise and spend $2.5 billion in her campaign.
