Hour 1: Cenk and Ana hosting. DEA’s own version of Stop and Frisk that targets minorities in order to take their money via “cold consent” encounters. After financial guru David Ramsey was reported to have bought a 13K sq foot mega mansion, he caught some heat from readers.

Ana goes through several Bible quotes that speak against money and greed.

Hour 2: After Suge Knight’s bail was set at $25 million, he collapsed in court. Video of his faint reaction. Tons of parents in India scaled the side of their kids’ school building to help them cheat on a test. Cenk sees this more as desperate parents looking for any way to help their kids get ahead in life.

The Young Turks - 3.19.15: Wolf PAC, Rahm Emanuel & Bad Cops

Hour 1: Cenk hosting today. The Wolf PAC resolution to get money out of politics has passed easily in Hawaii’s House. The next step is with the state Senate. In the Chicago runoff for mayor, Rahm Emanuel used footage from a TYT Chicago Meetup to help smear his opponent. Video of the attack ad. The Meetup footage that was used was taken out of context. Video of his full answer about school closings.

Two of the charges were obstructing justice without force and public swearing. A mother wanted to scare her 9 year old son straight, so she called the NYPD to teach him a lesson. Soon after, the officers began ranting at her as another “Black Bitch” that doesn’t know how to take care of her kids. When a conflict broke out, they arrested her and sent her kids to CPS. Cenk points out that the “good cops” don’t’ get involved to stop the angry, racist ones.

The Young Turks - 3.18.15: Netanyahu, Israeli Elections, Grindr & Airplane Turned Back

Hour 1: Cenk hosting today. Benjamin Netanyahu won re election for Prime Minister in convincing fashion. Some rhetoric from Bibi during the homestretch of the election warned of the large number of Arab Israelis heading to the polls. He also made it clear that he has no intention of taking part in a 2 state solution, unlike his previous promises of ending the occupation. Cenk talks about the implications of Netanyahu’s win and his declarations to never work toward peace with the Palestinians and Arab population. With this promise, the possibility of the boycott Israel movement becomes more of a reality in the future. Cenk talks about how this may force the rest of the world to come down harder on Israel and potentially sway them towards a peaceful approach.

Hour 2: Ana joins Cenk for SCS. A man is suing Grindr after he met a 13 year old boy via the app, and had sex with the kid. He is facing criminal charges for sex with an underaged partner. Since the app didn’t ensure that the user was over 18 years old as the policy states, he thinks it was Grindr’s fault. A British Airways flight was turned back around over an extreme feces smell from a dump someone took in the toilet. The company was worried for the health and safety of the other passengers.

Details of some of the atrocious beheadings and maiming they are taking part in. The Foreign Minister of Israel spoke to a crowd about the Arab Israelis, saying that those who disagree with the government policies should have their heads cut off with an axe. He specifically targets the Arabs that mourn the day Israel came to power and pushed Palestinians out. Video from a dairy farm shows extreme abuse to the cows.

The Young Turks - 3.11.15: The Angel Of Death, Pope Francis, Obama, Jon Stewart, Morning Joe & Man Taunts Cops

Cenk hosting today. A solo fighter in Iraq that has been dubbed The Angel of Death is a solo killer that is fighting ISIS. He has become an Iraqi hero after pictures of him have been circulating on the internet of him wielding axes, swords, and big machine guns. Since he’s “our bad guy” he gets praise. Since Utah continues to have troubles with their lethal injection procedure for capital punishment, the firing squad is being proposed to be brought back. Cenk compares the brutality of this system to the guillotine & beheadings by terrorists. Pope Francis spoke about elections and claims that there should be free and fair elections not influenced by outside money. In an interview with a magazine, Jon Stewart went after President Obama’s lack of effort vs his promises for change.

The Morning Joe panel addressed one aspect of the viral racist video out of OU after rapper Waka Flocka changed his mind about going to perform there. Mika and Bill Kristol blamed rap and Waka’s lyrics for why the frat boys were using the word nigger. Ana wonders if Mika has ever made an intelligent point on Morning Joe. A trash man in an affluent neighborhood in Atlanta decided to pick up garbage too early, 5am. After residents complained, the city attorney had him arrested and sent to jail for 30 days. The city caught so much negative attention from the story that they suspended his 30 day sentence. A Michigan man wielding a gun was confronted by police in front of a high school and was let go after he taunted him. Video of his confrontation. Cenk and Ana disagree on the reason they decided not to shoot him in the street. Cenk thinks its based on that fact he was Black, but Ana disagrees.

The Young Turks - 3.10.15: Tom Cotton’s Letter To Iran, Racist Frat & Unarmed Man Shot

Cenk and Ana. After 47 Republican Senators sent an undermining letter to Iran about the negotiations process, the criticism came down hard from the President to fellow Republicans to pundits. Video of Obama calling the move ironic. Joe Biden wrote a scathing response to the move, as well. Republican Bob Corker disagreed with this move because he wanted to undermine it in an official way, not by sending rouge letters to Iran. Freshman Sen Tom Cotton went on MSNBC to double down on his position to send a letter to Iranian leaders. Coincidentally, Tom Cotton is set to appear at a conference put on by lobbyists for defense contractors, contractors that have a lot of money to make on another war in the Middle East. Cotton also promoted the idea of striking Iran’s nuclear facilities because Israel did it to Iraq and Syria. Video of Cotton claiming that the only deal he is willing to accept from Iran is complete disarmament, and the threat of war needs to be on the table.

Hannah Cranston joins Cenk and Ana for SCS. Fallout from the Univ of Oklahoma frat chanting controversy continues. They’ve expelled two of the leaders of the chant seen on video, and a top football recruit has rescinded his commitment. A Georgia cop shot and killed a naked, unarmed man that was walking around an apartment complex in broad daylight.

The Young Turks - 3.9.15: Ebay, Netanyahu, Iran, Rape, Racist Frat & Teen Killed

Cenk hosting. He goes off about how Ebay invalidated the sale of his Grand Am at $50K. As peace negotiations continue with Iran and the WH, the Republican led Congress is looking to torpedo the agreement in another way since Netanyahu spoke in America. 47 Senators have sent a scathing letter to the leaders of Iran to let them know that if they don’t ratify the WH agreement, it isn’t binding, hinting that they will not honor it and do what they want. This is another strategy to undermine the authority of the President in favor of a foreign leader. Several former Senators have formed a group called American Security Initiative that created an ad that depicts an American city being blown up by a nuclear bomb unless we oppose a deal with Iran. Video of the fear mongering ad.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. A wrongfully convicted man has been awarded millions of dollars after he spent over 20 years in prison, where he was raped and given HIV. He was exonerated after he served all of the time for rape and burglary. Cenk challenges our allowed rape culture in prisons. Some officials in the DC area don’t think he deserves all of the $9.2 million that he’s to receive. The SAE frat at University of Oklahoma was caught on tape chanting racist things about never allowing Black students into the organization. The Univ came down hard on the frat, disbanding it and making all of the members move out within 24 hours. Another story of an unarmed 19 year old man was shot and killed by police in Wisconsin after a physical altercation broke out between the two. It has since been discovered that the kid had ADD.

The Young Turks - 3.6.15: DOJ Report, Egyptian Wedding, Marijuana & The Dress

Cenk, John, Desi, and Ana hosting. The Dept of Justice report on how the entire justice system in Ferguson, MO continues to illustrate the absolutely corrupt law enforcement. Tickets and fines were handed out routinely to certain citizens in order to keep them in debt to the city, while avoiding tickets for friends and family.

Hannah Cranston replaces Desi for SCS. An Egyptian groom staged an ISIS kidnapping prank on his bride at their wedding, but she ended up liking it. 3 sheriffs from CO, KS, and NE are filing lawsuits against the state of Colorado for their legalization of marijuana.

Cenk hosting. Cenk talks about his trip to Detroit and the severe blight problem in the city. Videos of their experiences in the devastated city. Wolf PAC news; the amendment to get money out of politics has passed the heavily Republican House in New Hampshire. Videos of Republican Rep and Senator speaking about their support for the amendment.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. India has banned a documentary that exposes the details behind the brutal New Delhi rape and murder that happened last year. One of the rapists that was interviewed said some hideous things, so the country’s officials nixed it so that he wouldn’t have a platform to spew his vitriol. Ana & Cenk don’t agree with the decision. An American man that works for a company in the UAE complained via Facebook about his employer while spending time back at home in Florida. Upon his return to UAE, he was immediately arrested for slandering his employer, which is against the law. He could face up to 5 years in prison. A lesbian Nigerian is being denied asylum in Britain since her home country is out to kill her over her sexual orientation. Britain doesn’t believe she is really a lesbian because she has kids from an earlier relationship.

The Young Turks - 3.4.15: Ben Carson, Chris Matthews, Sex Toys & Dating

Cenk and Iadarola hosting. Ben Carson discussed same sex marriage with Chris Cuomo on CNN, claiming that its nothing like Civil Rights because people choose to be gay. Proof of this is that ex prisoners come out gay. Cenk’s unique take is that Carson isn’t entirely wrong because of the sexuality spectrum. After Netanyahu’s speech to Congress yesterday, Chris Matthews pointed out that its the only time a foreign leader came in to take foreign policy power away from President Obama, with the help of Republicans.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Sex toys that connect to apps have the potential to get hacked by outside forces. Cenk wonders what people would do to someone’s dildo if they gained control. A 50 year old NYC man put out fliers asking for a girlfriend, and received hundreds of calls and text messages per day. He claims to have had 118 hookups with women, but hasn’t found a girlfriend yet. He’s planning on doing a documentary on his experiences. Ana admits she’s being judgmental and doesn’t really believe his story. Cenk talks about how this success story actually makes him glad he’s married and off the market because he would put too much energy into getting laid in this new age of hooking up. Cosmopolitan magazine did a story on what women want in men. They included household duties, hair, and height.
