Cenk hosting today. House Republicans tried to sneak in an Amendment to an unrelated bill that would’ve allowed the display of Confederate flags on public grounds. Ken Calvert introduced it and later blamed Southern members of the Party for asking for it. He also added that Obama is the other reason for his bill. Video of Boehner calling the issue a political football, right before openly denying any support for the Confederate flag. Now that SC Gov Nikki Haley has signed the bill to remove the flag from public grounds, many Carolinians took to her Facebook page to bash her. Cenk reads some of the vitriolic response. Ted Cruz appeared on Hardball and got into an exchange with Matthews about his new lack of support for the Supreme Court when he was all aboard when the Court ruled in favor of Bush in 2000 for his election. Videos of the cornering that led to Cruz calling the truth just “talking points.” Donald Trump continues to dig an even larger hole regarding his immigration comments, calling them criminals and rapists. Video of his appearance on Anderson Cooper’s show where he said it all over again. Since the Republican Presidential field won’t distance themselves from his rhetoric, the DNC released an ad that illustrated how Trump is running the Party. Despite the GOP’s talking point that they want to reach out to Latino voters, every candidate turned down the National Council of La Raza for a speaking engagement. La Raza is the largest Latino advocacy organization. Jeb Bush told a NH paper that in order for the country to grow out of the rut we’re in, people need to work longer hours. Video of his original comments and his clarification after he caught hell. He explained that he meant more full time work rather than part time hours. Cenk gives facts that show Americans work more than all other industrialized countries, and full time workers work an average of 47 hours. George W. Bush spoke to a charity that helps wounded & homeless veterans. His charged $100,000 for the speech at a fundraiser, and had them foot his $20K private jet bill. Former 1st Lady Laura Bush charged $50K, one year earlier. Cenk points out that the year he spoke, the charity raised $1.5 million more than they usually do, but he could do one freebie for a group that supports soldiers that were killed and maimed in a war he started.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Giants Defensive End Jason Pierre Paul had to have his right index finger amputated due to his fireworks injuries. TYT poll on whether or not he should’ve tried to save the finger and take much more time off from football for recovery. A divorced father of 3 kids was having trouble continuing a relationship with the kids, as they refused to have lunch with their father. The judge in the case ruled that the kids were in contempt and put them in juvenile hall, speaking out in favor of the father that simply wants to have a relationship. Singer Ariana Grande was caught on tape licking donuts in a donut shop while the employee was in the back room. She later said she hates Americans and America. Her PR apology about the obesity problem in America was ridiculous. Tom Selleck has been accused of stealing water from a public supply at a hydrant to provide water for his avocado ranch. Cenk makes it political by pointing out that Selleck is a Republican that likes to steal water from the government, while complaining about the entitlement society. Emails show that Exxon first discovered the problem of climate change back in 1980, but immediately launched their campaign to cover it up. A same sex couple being denied a marriage license in Kentucky was caught on tape. Video of the humiliating response from the state workers.
