Ana joins Cenk for SCS. A NJ pastor bragged that he punched a little boy as hard as he could because he didn’t believe in God, and was a smart alek. University of North Dakota conducted a survey of men on campus about whether or not they would act on forcing a woman into sex. When they didn't use the word rape, 31% said yes, and when they did use the term rape, 13% still said yes. Lawmakers in SC proposed a bill that would make it mandatory for public school students to be taught an NRA approved Gun Rights course. Kansas City students were outraged when they discovered that many of their school pictures were significantly photoshopped, making the girls thinner and removing freckles. An Idaho prosecutor released a search warrant for a 9 year old boy for stealing a pack of gum. Since the kid’s family is too poor to get a ride to court, he’s missed two court dates. He is now being held in a juvenile detention center until his date comes up again. George Zimmerman is in trouble with the law again over his 4th domestic violence dispute since 2012. He threw a wine bottle at his girlfriend during an argument. On the season premiere of HBO’s Girls, a scene of a woman getting her salad tossed was depicted. The actress is the daughter of NBC’s Brian Williams and he was asked what he thought of the scene. Williams responded that its just acting, and no animals were harmed during the filming of the scene. China’s millionaires have implemented a new kind of bodyguard in women. Cenk believes he can take at least 50% of these women.

Cenk hosts TYT today. Huge marches in France took place over the weekend to show solidarity with Charlie Hebdo cartoonists. Over 40 world leaders participated as well, including Netanyahu and Abbas. There were similar marches from all over the world, including Tokyo, Dresden, Washington DC, NYC, Paraguay, and South Africa. A Muslim man that worked at the Kosher bakery took 15 people into the freezer and hid them there while attacks were going on. When he went to tell the police, he was arrested and detained for over an hour before they listened and got the people out. The Muslim cop that was killed by the terrorists was memorialized by his brother with a moving eulogy. Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro had a terrorism expert Steven Emerson on about the terrorist attack, blaming France’s open policy toward Muslims for the attacks. He went on to claim that Birmingham, England is totally Muslim. In reality, only 22% of the city is Muslim. Emerson went on BBC Radio to explain his side and apologize, but refused to expose where he got his bad information. British PM David Cameron even spoke out, calling him a complete idiot. Once Emerson’s comments made it to the internet, Twitter exploded with #FoxNewsFacts that mocked their Muslim hate. Rupert Murdoch tweeted that all Muslims must be held responsible for their cancerous, jihadist types. Twitter responded, led by Aziz Ansari and JK Rowling. Tucker Carlson declared that France has these problems because they and America need to rethink immigration policies, to limit immigration from Muslim countries. Carlson wonders what do “we” get from allowing these immigrants in. Cenk gives several examples of Muslims that contributed greatly to American society. A Saudi Arabian cleric issued a fatwa against making snowmen. He claimed it promotes lustiness and eroticism. Update on the murdered homeless man at the hands of police in Albuquerque. Two of the officers have been charged with murder after the prosecutor bypassed a grand jury to obtain the charges.
