Ana joins Cenk for SCS. California approved legislation that would legalize doctor assisted suicide. A Facebook user posted a selfie at work that included a co-worker’s Black kid in the background, where he and his friends mocked the kid. When the post caught the attention of everyone on the internet, his employer caught wind of it and fired him, along with anyone else that mocked the boy. Cenk is blown away by the amount of racism that still exists. The Harvard Debate team faced off with prison inmates, and lost. The prison conducts these things to see if they’re properly giving inmates an opportunity to make it in the world after being released.

John leaves for SCS. Congress has neglected to vote on a 1st responder’s bill that would make the health care for the heroes of 911 permanent before it expired. Katy Perry invited a female fan up on stage during her performance in Brazil, only to be groped and kissed on in an aggressive manner. The few stories that picked the story up joked about it, which annoys Ana, since it wouldn’t be taken this way if it were a male fan groping Perry. Ben disagrees. The founder of the “Shout Your Abortion” campaign has gone into hiding after receiving tons of death threats. She openly spoke about her abortion to dispel the stigma associated with getting one. All of her info was posted online by the aggressors, too. Planned Parenthood reached out to help her find a place to lay low.

Rep Kevin McCarthy is gearing up for a run to become the next Speaker, so he went on Hannity’s show to prove his Conservative accolades. Video of McCarthy claiming that the Benghazi Committee was put together to tear down Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and he’s on board for that kind of leadership. During the Planned Parenthood hearing, Rep Grothman asked what the purpose is of Planned Parenthood since as a guy, he can go anywhere for healthcare. Bernie Sanders spoke out about how Pres Obama took too long to realize that the GOP hates him and will never work with him. John is comforted by Sanders recognizing the atmosphere, since Obama didn’t. Jeb Bush spoke with an NFL show on SiriusXM and voiced his support for the Redskins name. Video of his answer, claiming that Native American tribes don’t find it offensive, either. Coincidentally, Redskins owner Dan Snyder recently gave $100,000 to the Super PAC that supports Jeb.

Ana joins Ben for SCS. Apple app store has rejected an app called Drones Plus, that shows areas where drone strikes have happened. Apple claimed it was excessively crude, unentertaining, or objectionable content. 8 players from Iran’s female soccer team are being accused of being men posing as women. Iran is very open to gender reassignment surgery and trans issues. Ben isn’t buying that these players are transgender women, but simply men being put on the team as ringers. Discussion about the potential of this becoming an issue in American sports. The Saudi prince accused of raping a woman in his Beverly Hills home has posted the $300K bail and flew out of the country on a private jet.

Cenk hosting. The Pope spoke to Congress today and Cenk admits he kind of loves him. Reading through some of his progressive stances that clearly line up with Catholic belief. After the speech, the Pope greeted the huge crowd from a balcony and while standing next to him, Boehner couldn’t hold back tears.

One Republican Congressman refused to attend the Pope’s appearance, claiming that since he’s acting like a Leftist politician, he’ll treat him like one.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. After Kanye West mentioned that he wanted to run for president one day, Vanity Fair followed up on that assertion in a new interview. He pointed out that he’s really going to do it and needs to do his research in the next 5 years. He also said that Ben Carson is a brilliant guy, which prompted Cenk to determine that Kanye isn’t very bright. A young Mexican girl fought through adoring crowds to get a note to the Pope during his visit. Her letter detailed her concerns over deportation of her parents even though she’s an American citizen. Cenk can’t get over how this girl didn’t write this sophisticated letter. Former UFC fighter David Abbott is challenging Ronda Rousey to a match.

30% of Iowa Republicans believe that Islam should be outlawed in America. 21% said they’re not sure.

He told another host that he doesn’t want everyone to vote, only the people that vote for him, since so many people are stupid. Jeremy Corbyn’s win to become the head of UK’s Labour Party has panned out to large numbers of people joining the Party. Cenk sees this as a worldwide trend; that Progressives are the voice of the general population. Outline of Corbyn agenda.

Donald Trump went back to Hewitt’s radio show and gave a rambling answer on his position regarding global warming. Video of his empty answer. John goes unchained on his stupid answer. Afghanistan’s practice of child sex abuse continues while American troops are stationed there and experience the horror. Since they are our allies, troops are told to stay out of it and are sent away if they interfere. The latest comments from Ted Nugent on Facebook that suggest Israel was responsible for the 9/11 attacks is the latest instance that confirms Cenk’s worry that Conservatives have opened Pandora’s Box on hating the next group after Black people and Muslims. Jews were previously off limits until Ann Coulter attacked during the GOP debate.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Kim Davis interview with ABC News was filled with self aggrandizing quotes and clueless disdain for gay people. Videos of some moments. She went on to say that the Constitution doesn’t guarantee dignity for everyone. The new owner of a drug that treats parasitic infections appeared on news shows to defend his incredible price hike.

Bill Maher feels Ahmed should get an apology, however, he feels in the last 30 years that young muslims have caused some serious violence.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. The House has voted to defund Planned Parenthood. It is a symbolic vote since it cannot pass the Senate or the President’s desk. A man claimed that Black Lives Matter activists spray painted obscenities all over his van that had “Police Lives Matter” on it. It turned out he did the vandalism himself. He called out for financial help, which got him over $5000 from suckers that hate the movement.

Cenk is hosting. There were several funny moments during the debate. Trumps weird facial expressions, Jeb bush standing on his tippy toes, high fives, and awkward handshakes. During the debate, Trump and Fiorina attack each other on bad business they have done in jobs. Fiorina talks about what she had done with companies, however some of the things she did was misleading. Trump was telling the truth about how bad she did with H.P.  Fiorina was fired and she is considered the worst CEO of all time according to NY Times. Cenk points out that the reason Carly Fiorina is running for president is to be the attacker of Hillary Clinton without being seen as the sexist GOP. This was illustrated when one big conservative Super PAC gave $5 million to Cruz’ campaign, it also gave $500K to Carly’s campaign. One of her fundraisers admitted that they told her they want her in the race to attack Hillary.

Cenk and Ana for SCS to start the show. A 14 year old Muslim high school student was arrested after showing up to school in Irving, TX with a clock he built for a science project. The teachers got scared when they thought it was a bomb and called police. The boy likes to tinker and build things. The mayor of Irving released a statement touting the safety protocol of the school standards for safety, without apology. She also has a history of pushing Islamophobia within the town a few years ago when she pushed local officials to act against the “Sharia Law” that was infiltrating the city. The picture of the kid being taken away in handcuffs with his NASA t-shirt on had an emotional effect on Ana. The positive reaction to the kid was wonderful, including President Obama offering him a trip to the White House. Comedian Steve Rannazzisi has admitted to lying about his story of where he was on 9/11. His story detailed how he was inside the South Tower of the WTC and his escape.

Miss Tennessee of the Miss America pageant gave a thoughtful answer on funding Planned Parenthood, which sparked anger from Dana Loesch.

Cenk hosting today. A Christian gun manufacturer has developed a new Muslim killing AR-15 called The Crusader. It has a Bible scripture etched onto each one that vows to kill its enemies. Video of the developer talking about the gun and firing it. A Muslim flight attendant is complaining that she has been suspended for not serving alcohol to passengers due to her religious beliefs. As a recent convert to Islam, she worked out a deal with her fellow flight attendants to serve the alcohol for her. Cenk is against her on this stand.

Right before this shooting, an SUV at a taco shop with two parents and two kids inside was shot at, but no one was hurt.

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.

Category:general -- posted at: 12:00pm EST

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.

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.

Cenk hosting. The Daily Beast article that highlighted rape allegations in Donald Trump’s divorce proceedings with Ivana Trump have made headlines.

Cenk gives out the current results of the “Freak 16” and outrageous poll numbers on Donald Trump with a Washington Post/ABC Poll with the Don at the top with 24% and tapping into the base’s desire of wanting a “strong leader”, according to the poll. Lindsey Graham thinks he is in a fight with the Don, by stooping to his level with an appearance on CNN defending John McCain by calling Donald Trump a “jackass” and is pissed, the Don replys that he is a stiff an idiot, couldn’t get a job in the private sector and gives out Lindsey’s cell number on top of all that.

Lindsey Graham responded by defending McCain on the loser debate, and defending illegal immigrants that Trump offended.

- How the right and left can come together to battle corporate cronyism and government corruption
- The felony and misdemeanor charges against him and the upcoming trial that could send him away for X years in prison
- How crony capitalism and a corrupt Congress are intentionally driving the US Postal Service into bankruptcy
- The next stunt he’s planning to shake Americans out of their complacency about the need to get money out of politics and restore democracy.

One of the earliest digital entrepreneurs, Drew Curtis built Fark.com into a hugely popular news aggregation site to rival Huffington Post, Drudge Report and Yahoo. Now he’s set his sights on a new challenge: an upstart independent campaign for governor of Kentucky, running on a platform of getting money out of politics, data-driven policy making and adopting best practices from other states’ experiences. Does he really have a chance?

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

- What, exactly, “Fark” means anyway
- How idiotic non-news has come to dominate the mainstream news media
- Whether the electorate is primed for a candidate who’s not about “business as usual”
- Massive government corruption that’s hidden in plain sight
- Can a gubernatorial candidate win by admitting that his/her state is not number one?
- How fact-and-data-based governance would function
- Curtis’ chances of breaking up the two-party duopoly in Kentucky and across the country

Hour 1: Cenk, Ana, Jimmy, Wes Clark hosting the Power Panel today. Wes mentions the book he published just yesterday. Kentucky has multiple instances of people defying the gay marriage laws. Even after meeting with the Governor, County Clerk Casey Davis refuses to do so. Videos of Davis telling MSNBC that he refuses. Ted Cruz’ supporters are pissed that his book isn’t on the NY Times Best Seller list even though its at #3 as far as numbers of sales go. NYT claims that the book has been bought in bulk sales in order to get on the list. Donald Trump is leading the GOP presidential field in a new poll. While this news spreads, he has announced that he has to move his latest event to the Phoenix Convention Center due to the extremely high numbers of attendees. Wes talks about how Trump really has no chances, while Cenk thinks there is a possibility.

Hour 2: Update on the Oregon bakery that was forced to pay $135K in damages to a same sex couple that they refused service to. After everyone thought the monetary amount was over refusal of service, the real reason is that the bakery revealed personal information of the couple, leading to death threats and potentially losing their adopted kids. A gay porn star has been convicted of extortion after trying to blackmail a very wealthy businessman he was sleeping with for money. He requested tons of money and an Audi, which he received. It ended when the porn star went back for more money. MasterCard did a study that found more people are worried about their financial information being leaked than nude photos being leaked.

Hour 1: Cenk hosting today. 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.

Hour 2: 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.
