Cenk and Iadarola hosting. Ted Cruz went on CBS This Morning and said that his music fanfare switched to country music after 911 and the way rock music responded. Ted Cruz’ new avatar picture on Twitter eerily looks like a well known pose of the depiction of Jesus Christ. Video of his father talking about how he constantly told him he was anointed by God to be better than any other man. The WSJ has reported that Israel has been spying on America’s negotiations with Iran over the nuclear deal and giving the info to members of Congress. Videos of Rep Boehner telling reporters that he was shocked to hear about this story. George Zimmerman has released a video via his attorneys to defend himself and accuse President Obama of wrongfully coming after him and riling up racial tensions. When asked if he regretted anything that happened, he said it was God’s Plan, and that it would be blasphemous if he thought any differently. Witnesses in Miami saw police beating a man to death that told the bystanders that they will kill him. Video of Pat Robertson wishing that Ronald Reagan would come back from the dead to run the country. Cenk points out that TYT has jokingly speculated that the GOP wished Reagan would come back from the dead. They want him to rise like Jesus since they worship him.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Two LAPD officers have been awarded millions of dollars after they were punished for shooting and killing an unarmed man in 2010. They disputed their punishment of indefinite desk duty as Latino cops and were awarded the money as compensation. Their case was based on White cops that only got desk duty for 6 weeks rather than indefinitely for shooting and killing an unarmed man. The U.S. Ambassador to Libya decided to quit Twitter after she was getting trolled by Libyans on the social media site. Cenk and Ana don’t see the trolling she’s claiming.
