Ana joins Cenk for SCS. It is breaking that the NFL was given access to the elevator attack video of Ray Rice on his wife, but they ignored it. Floyd Mayweather chimed in on the Ray Rice abuse case, claiming that this type of thing happens in all households. Fox News’ Tamara Holder appeared on Hannity’s show to complain about how the anti-testicular police ripped off Ray Rice’s balls by getting him fired. Women’s rights groups are calling for Roger Goodell to resign as Commissioner of the NFL since it has been revealed that they wanted to sweep this under the rug. Rush Limbaugh speculated that this will lead to our society wanting to ban the sport of football altogether, calling it too violent for our new soft standards. Steven A. Smith also spoke out against the women’s group that is calling for Goodell’s resignation. A Burger joint in Philly posted a receipt of Eagles’ LeSean McCoy since he only left a 20 cent tip, hoping to shame him. It backfired. Cenk and Ana talk about how much they hate this phenomenon of posting a patron’s receipt online. Cenk tells the story of Billy Bob’s cheesesteak where their customer service sometimes led to beatings. NBC News fired one of its producers after he secretly filmed sex with his girlfriend and posted it online at a sextape site. After she discovered it, he admitted to it, and was arrested. New data shows that for the 1st time, a majority of American adults are unmarried at 50.2%.  In 1976, it was at 37%.

Cenk hosting. Some websites have declared war on the FCC to urge them to do the right thing on Net Neutrality. They’ve launched an ad to tons of internet users, asking them to join the fight against “Team Cable” who are being given the power to suspend speech on the web. Obama also appointed a former lobbyist for these companies as head of the FCC. The 3 main porn sites have also joined the fight against the FCC as they have 50 million people viewing their content daily. Former WH Spox Jay Carney recently retired, and will start his new gig with CNN tonight, breaking down the President’s ISIS speech. Cenk is amazed that CNN thinks that having Carney on board is a big pickup that will drive people to watch their political analysis. Obama is expected to basically start a war with 3 countries tonight, in search of ISIS and the perception that Democrats can be tough on foreign policy, like Republicans are. He will declare that he has authorization to go to war without consent from Congress, a policy that was 1st illegally implemented by George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. The worst part is that he could easily have Congress vote in favor of it and not be solely left on the hook for this war. Sen Tom Harkin warned that this is going to be a repeat of what we did after 9-11. Hillary Clinton aides are getting word out that she would be more hawkish on foreign policy than the “passive” nature Obama has taken. The Democratic Party has become one that is trying to out-Republican, Republicans. Pundits like Chris Matthews, Chuck Todd, & Peter Johnson of Fox News are egging on the upcoming march for war. Now that Matthews is thirsty for war and carnage again, Cenk remembers when he wholeheartedly gave Bush praise for the Iraq War, right before he claimed he was always against it. Cenk predicts that this will happen again with our next invasion over ISIS. While Michael Moore was being interviewed by the Hollywood Reporter, he gave Obama the message that he will be remembered only as the 1st Black president, and nothing else. Cenk elaborates on Obama’s disappointing policies. Scotland is considering declaring independence from the UK, so Cenk goes through the upsides and downsides to this move.
