During Jeb Bush’s campaign launch speech, he blatantly mischaracterized Hillary Clinton’s previous words about helping kids in foreign countries whose rights are limited based on radical Islamic beliefs. Video of Jeb forming her words to paint her as biased against Christianity in America. Although TYT has a ban on Donald Trump, his announcement to run for President forces us to cover it. Video highlights of his comical announcement. Bernie Sanders continues to get no respect from the media despite his significant advances on Hillary in states like NH. Cenk talks about how the GOP should be careful in celebrating the presence of Sanders and his effect on the Dem primaries. Video of David Axelrod, comparing Sanders to a one night stand that voters will have a fling with before settling in on Hillary.

Cenk and Ana. More on the story of being forgotten by his parents after soccer practice on his birthday. Cenk also talks about the traumatic story of being introduced on Senior Night with the football team only to find that his parents weren’t there again.
