11 million Latinos cast votes in the last election, over 1 million more than in ‘08.  Republicans have noticed this and are trying to prevent this from progressing.  Sen Mike Lee proposed a bill that will only allow immigrant Latinos to have certain jobs like cooks, housekeepers, maids, valets, chauffeurs, gardeners, and janitors.  The Heritage Foundation’s Jason Richwine wrote a theory about the lack of IQ from immigrant populations. Elizabeth Warren’s first legislative proposal deals with fixing the interest rate on school loans.  A Bloomberg estimate showed that $102 billion in subsidies have been given to large banks since 2009. Hackers developed a complicated bank theft scheme, which turned out to be the biggest bank heist of all time.  Due to the high number of accomplices necessary to pull this off, things fell apart after they got all the money, some were even killed. Jason Richwine of the Heritage Foundation has been fired.  Dick Cheney has chimed in on the Benghazi outrage, saying that Hillary Clinton needs to be subpoenaed.  When people were clamoring for Cheney’s testimony over the Bush Administration’s illegal wars, he called it a witch hunt.  Michael points out that the GOP’s only chance at stopping her from winning the 2016 ticket is to take her down over this.  Karl Rove’s super PAC has an ad out attacking Hillary already.  Cenk sees some aspects of truth in their scathing ad.

The launch of TYT Plus.  More disturbing information is coming out about Ariel Castro, the kidnapper in Cleveland.  The manner in which he would get rid of the pregnancies he caused with the girls was horrific.  The details make Cenk and Ana want the death penalty for him, but he explains why we shouldn’t. A kid went on a rant on his lazy teacher for simply handing out a packet and not making the class exciting.  The school is now looking into the teacher’s techniques.  Ana likens this kid to a young Cenk.  Even though fast food restaurants changed their menus with healthy choices, their unhealthy score on a 100 pt scale only went up by 3 pts in the last 14 years.  A former model in Korea was addicted to silicone injections so much that she ended up injecting cooking oil into her face after doctors stopped doing them for her.  Her face was destroyed.  A Harlem Shake video that went wrong. Cenk introduces the members of TYT and WolfPAC that joined us in studio today.  Member thanks.  More on the Teen Mom sex tape.  She just spent $400K on a Lamborghini after selling the porn to Vivid for $1.5 million.
