Power Panel with Cenk, Ben, Jimmy Dore and John Iadarola. CNN does coverage of the VA shooter with references that the shooter operated gay websites.  Guns are not the reason for violent crime. It’s the crime itself.  England, Japan, and Netherlands have low crime rate.  In the states, we have more deaths because of an iron object that is used upon the crime. If guns are everywhere it is possible that more people will die in a violent crime.

Power Panel with Cenk, Ben, Jimmy, and Ana. John Felton was pulled over because he didn’t signal early enough. But the truth is the police said he made direct eye contact.  17 years old was sentenced to 11 years to prison because of his support of ISIS. Also, he convinces his friend to go to Syria to join ISIS.

There was a sign that was written in Hebrew however people thought it was an Arabic terror threat.  People thought muslims was going to take over Louisiana. The Virginia shooter, Bryce Williams, wrote a manifesto. It was a stupid manifesto, according to Cenk. The reason Bryce Williams shot the people is because he wanted to start a race war.

He says his daughter death was senseless and he wants legislation to take hold on gun control issues to be stronger. His mission is to get the word out about gun control.  Mark Hamill a.k.a.

Australia bought back guns and therefore certain guns were banned. Also, 20% of guns were destroyed. 57% of suicide and 42% of gun violence went down.  There was a serious decrease in homicides and suicide in Australia.

Harvard Law Professor and longtime political activist Lawrence Lessig wants to win the presidency of the United States to accomplish one critical objective: ending the corrupting influence of money on politics. With that done, he says he’ll step down and let someone else take over the Oval Office. It’s a radical notion, the single-issue presidential candidacy, but as he points out, only a radical solution can wrest back control of our democracy from the monied interests who have steadily come to dominate American political life.

In this exclusive interview, Lessig and The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur discuss:

- The Kickstarter campaign that will decide whether Lessig officially runs for president.
- Why, even if one of them were to become president, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton have no hope of eliminating money from politics.
- Why the American people would get behind a one-issue candidacy to get money out of politics.
- Why the Democratic party is as guilty as Republicans for the current corrupt system.
- Whether Donald Trump’s candidacy is helpful or harmful to the cause of money in politics.
- The Three Prongs of Political Corruption that a Citizen Equality Act would deal with.
- Whether he would govern as president on other issues while trying to pass the Citizen Equality Act.
- How the fight against money in politics is the Civil Rights issue of our time, and that now is when the American people need to come together in shared sacrifice to take back democracy.

Hour 1: Power Panel-Ben, Cenk, Jimmy, and John. Ted Cruz went on Jan Mickelson’s radio show to talk about how much he’s against immigrants just days after Mickelson proposed using illegal immigrants as slaves. Cenk now thinks that Cruz stands a good chance of winning the nomination as the crazy Trump alternative. Video of Cruz claiming to have been speaking out against birthright citizenship 4 years ago when no one else was calling for an end to it. John points out that 4 years ago, Cruz openly spoke out in favor of birthright citizenship. Video of Mickelson’s recent proposal to institute slavery for illegal immigrants.

Cenk hosting. Talk about why TYT has decided to stop blurring Donald Trump’s face on the show. Although he was originally banned due to his simple desire to gain attention, the latest GOP primary polls have him as a legitimate contender for the nomination. Even beyond the GOP cycle, he’s also gaining on Hillary in the polls. Trump’s plan to fly his helicopter to the Iowa State Fair and take kids for a ride was shortly derailed by the event until he simply did it off site. When one kid asked him if he’s Batman, Trump responded by saying, “I am Batman.” He also went on to tell reporters that Mitt Romney isn’t really rich.

Pro football player James Harrison made his two sons return participation trophies to school since they weren’t for anything they did. Cenk talks about how much he supports this line of thinking, while his kids receive trophies. Ana agrees, but thinks showing up should be recognized, since it’s useful in the real world.

The activist, blogger and DJ who goes by the name “Fumes” has built a large following on Twitter and Tumblr by voicing strong objection to white appropriation of African-American culture, calling out white privilege in all its forms and targeting the fashion industry for what she describes as “Columbusing, colonizing and exploiting” black culture for profit without acknowledging the centuries of suffering, discrimination and exploitation that helped inform black Americans’ unique cultural expressions.

In this exclusive TYTInterview, Fumes and The Young Turks’ Ana Kasparian discuss:

- Their Twitter feud over “white feminism” that led to this interview
- What cultural appropriation looks like
- Allure Magazine’s celebration of Kylie Jenner’s cornrows
- The complicated history and expression of black hair
- Why everyone in American culture is encouraged to look “as European as possible.”
- Whether calling out celebrities for appropriating black culture is acceptable
- Why Rachel Doleful has no right to pretend to be black
- The #BlackLivesMatter movement activists who disrupted Bernie Sanders’ rallies
- White feminism as a subset of white privilege
- Why white - and black - feminists need to understand and celebrate “intersectionality.”
