Vice President Joe Biden is seen as pandering for 2016 votes by advocating for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). The hosts characterize ENDA as a "red herring" that has failed to pass for 20 years. They argue that existing civil rights laws are sufficient and that new legislation would only lead to an explosion of frivolous lawsuits against businesses.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney released a video promoting the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), claiming millions of Americans work in fear of being fired for their sexual orientation. Critics argue the legislation is a political "red herring" introduced repeatedly since 1974 to paint Republicans as intolerant. The bill contains significant exemptions, including for the U.S. Army, which are rarely discussed in mainstream coverage.

The U.S. Senate approved the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) with a 64-32 vote. While the bill is expected to fail in the House, the Senate vote is viewed as a tactical move to create a campaign narrative that Republicans hate the LGBT community. This legislative maneuvering is described as a "scam" with no real expectation of the bill becoming law.

Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny delivered a speech in College Green that closely mirrored Barack Obama's 2008 election victory speech. Kenny defended the duplication as a deliberate tribute to the American president. Critics noted that the cadence, tempo, and specific phrasing were nearly identical to the original "Yes We Can" address.
