Cenk Uygur hosting from YouTube Space LA. Cenk gives an Indiegogo progress update and the upcoming TYT Meetup schedule. Visit tytnetwork.com/meetups for more info. A new smartphone video of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has surfaced in which he manically and violently threatens to murder an unnamed person. The Mayor also appeared to be inebriated in the video. Rob Ford publically apologized for the rant to reporters and still refuses to resign from office. Vice President Joe Biden accidentally called the wrong Marty Walsh when trying to congratulate the Mayor-elect of Boston. Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) is trying to rally an effort to impeach Attorney General Eric Holder. When Yoho’s Chief of Staff, Cat Cammack, was pressed for substantive grounds for an impeachment hearing she was unable to provide any. The new Time magazine cover depicts New Jersey Governor Chris Christie in a way that draws attention to his weight along with the title, “The Elephant in the Room.” Was this an intentional choice by the editors? Was it appropriate? The TYT Supreme Court issues a ruling. Cenk gives member shoutouts and an Indiegogo update. Rep. Steve King (R-IA) threatens to try to remove Speaker Boehner if immigration reform is brought to the House floor. Sen. Dan Coats (R-IN) voiced opposition to ENDA arguing that it would hurt the economy and violate the first amendment rights of anti-LGBT businesses. Cenk predicted a few days ago that Ken Cuccinelli had a chance against Terry McAuliffe and that if anyone could screw up the election with so little time left it would be McAuliffe. It turns out Cuccinelli lost, but was closing in during the final days and hours on McAuliffe. Despite the loss, the Tea Party and the mainstream media are spinning the results, giving him credit for the race being so competitive. An editorial writer for Guns and Ammo magazine was fired for making reasonable arguments in support of gun-safety laws and other regulations. Kim Horcher of Nerd Alert joins Cenk for a Twitter Storm!

Ana Kasparian joins Cenk for the second hour. A 19 year old Detroit woman was shot in the back of the head while seeking help after a car accident. The details of the killing are still in doubt. It is also uncertain whether the murder was racially motivated. After the outrageous racial profiling incident of Trayon Christian being detained while trying to buy a $350 belt on suspicions of not being able to afford the merchandise, former Barney employees are coming forward with numerous examples of similar occurrences which suggest a consistent profiling culture at the department store. Cenk reads #TYTLive tweets. Michael Robertson of Massachusetts believes it is his constitutional right to take upskirt photos of women in public. Mr. Robertson’s attorney, ironically a woman, dubiously argues that “peeping tom” laws do not protect clothed individuals in public because there is no expectation of privacy. A subway rider let a passenger next to him  sleep on his shoulder for nearly 20 minutes after the man passed out from exhaustion. Ethan Hawke makes a case against monogamy. ABC News Anchor Elizabeth Vargas has checked in to rehab for treatment of alcoholism. A Texas couple have a cake shaped and decorated to realistically resemble bloody severed heads for their wedding.  Help TYT Build a new studio by supporting our Indiegogo Campaign!  CLICK here: http://igg.me/at/TYTNetwork/.  Thank you!  #IamTYT Look for TYT Announcements from Ambassador Jenny here: http://bit.ly/TYTForum
