Hour 1: Polls on whether or not to allow refugees into America show that a majority of Americans are completely against it.

The community meeting was about setting up a new worship center for Muslims on property that is already owned by the religious group. John reads a quote from Ben Carson that compares Syrian refugees to rabid dogs running around your neighborhood. Donald Trump has dropped to a new low in voicing his opposition to Muslims. In an interview with Yahoo, he said that we need to increase our monitoring on Muslims to an extent that would label them and create a database so that everyone could identify them upon sight. Trump missed the comparison this policy is to what Nazis did to Jews during the Holocaust. A Republican state Rep from Rhode Island released a letter claiming that Muslims are rapists and murderers looking to decapitate anyone not like them. Her solution is to put Muslim refugees in a camp where they can be contained and monitored, another allusion to The Final Solution.

The name of this bookstore is named after the Egyptian goddess ISIS. A drug called captagon is being used by fighters in the Middle East and Syria to stay up and alert as they fight.

Jeb Bush has also spoken out, saying he wants to send ground troops into Syria.

Hour 2: A program looking to stop women from taking part in prostitution gives the arrested women the chance to either get themselves on their feet or go to jail.

In honor of veterans day, John would like to examine our care of our veterans. More than 1.3 million veterans do not currently have health care. On any given night in america 50,000 veterans are deemed homeless. A good drop from 75,000 in 2010, but an astounding number nonetheless. 22 former service members commit suicide a day. Debate expectations during last night’s republican debate were up to par for Head of RNC’s Reince Priebus who dramatically praised the “hardhitting” debate. The panel of hosts disagree.

Hour 1: Cenk hosting. Donald Trump went on ABC’s This Week to reveal his plan for defeating ISIS. Video of Trump telling Stephanopoulos that he simply wants the oil. Cenk explains why this simplistic declaration makes no sense and would provide even bigger problems for us. Sen David Vitter is looking to get reelected and in order to continue to pay up on bribes from his rich oil donors, he’s proposed a bill that would stop solar tax credits in that industry and lifting even more regulations on oil producers while giving them more subsidies. Vitter has been given $1 million from the Koch Brothers and other oil giants. The League of Conservation Voters, a Liberal group, has decided to endorse Hillary Clinton for president before the primaries, a move they usually hold until afterwards. Recently, the League of Conservation Voters spent $30 million in the last election, much more than they usually do. This money came from the rich Democratic donors, who want Hillary Clinton to be the nominee and eventual president, so The League is doing what the big donors want.

Hour 2: Ana joins Cenk for SCS. The president of the Univ of Missouri has stepped down after weeks of protests over the horrible state of race relations on campus. None of many students’ concerns weren’t being addressed until the Black members of the football team decided to boycott all team activities until the president stepped down. Sea World has decided to discontinue their Killer Whale show at the San Diego location. They’ll replace it with an orca show that is more informative than showy.

Louisiana cops that killed a 6 year old boy after chasing down the boy’s father have been arrested and charged. They shot the boy 5 times in the head and chest. When the story was 1st reported last week, Cenk was worried that this would be overlooked. Now that they are being brought to justice, he wonders if it’s because the 6 year old was White and the two cops are minorities even though all cops that murder follow this kind of procedure.

Reports claim that he was the son of a known gang member and his killing was retaliatory. Cenk preemptively responds to the Fox News rhetoric that the problem is Black on Black crime, and the destruction of the Black family.

Hour 1: Cenk hosting today. Ben Carson released an ad where a rapper tries to appeal to Black voters with a rap song about Ben. Video of the ad.

Ben Carson’s old comments claiming that Joseph built the pyramids instead of Egyptian slaves has resurfaced. Video of him telling a Christian university his theory back in 1998.

Hillary Clinton is announcing her support behind raising the minimum wage to $12, and encourages other communities to go even higher. Other Dems are in support of a $15 minimum wage, but realize that it is more feasible to get a $12 hike passed thru Congress. Republicans like Santorum and Carson are in favor of raising it at an extremely slow pace. After a car ran into a bull on the loose in Idaho, injuring the car’s passengers, the bull charged the emergency responders, forcing police to put the animal down.

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. Ana doesn’t think it’s likely that he’ll return to face the rape charges.

Discussion on the lack of coverage on Bernie Sanders. Kim Davis’ attorneys and supporters have been pushing a picture of a gathering of 100K people in Lima, Peru, claiming it was out of support for Davis.

Azealia Banks is in the news after getting into an argument on a flight with a couple over luggage where she called the man a fucking faggot. Once she caught hell for her language online, she doubled down. Talk about bags while flying. A study out of Stanford found that people who look to deny the existence of White privilege tend to claim hardships of their own. They take White privilege to mean that they didn’t earn anything they have.

Ben, Iadarola, and Elliot from LipTV hosting today. John Boehner announced that he will be resigning from Congress, and relinquishing his role as Speaker. Ben thinks Boehner doesn’t want to deal with the craziness of the extreme Right that continues to push for radical moves like shutting down the government over Planned Parenthood. Reaction from Conservatives was excited and celebratory. Video of Marco Rubio telling the Values Voter Summit crowd the news, to thunderous applause. Heritage Action tweeted their approval, Cruz claimed Boehner is finally leading, Erick Erickson said that Boehner kept Conservatives shut out, Gun Owners of America even went after him, and FreedomWorks wanted people to RT if they ‘helped’ get Boehner out. Video of President Obama’s positive description of Boehner’s characteristics as he exits.

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. Video of this crying session as well as one moment where Marco Rubio appeared to be crying during the speech. Cenk doesn’t believe Rubio was crying when the subject was on immigrants. Just late last year, Rubio criticized the Pope for his stance on America working toward an agreement with Cuba. 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. Mike Huckabee went on a Conservative show where he claimed President Obama pretends to be a Christian while limiting the rights of Christians. 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.

New research shows that more people have died while trying to take a selfie than those in a shark attack. The victims tried to take selfies in dangerous situations.

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. An ex hedge fund manager bought the rights to a drug that treats a life threatening parasitic infection only to raise the price from $13 to $750.

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.

Japanese was fighting over parliament.  Several states have the death penalty, however California has more death sentence than any others state.

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. Sarah Silverman addressed many comedians’ decision to not perform at colleges because they’ve become ultra PC.

The Daily Beast uncovered a study that showed a phenomenon within the gay dating community that openly and harshly discriminates certain races in their dating profiles. The question of whether or not sexual racism is a thing was asked by another study. Cenk doesn’t think we can judge people’s racial preferences when it comes to sex and dating. Cenk gives his theory on why this seems to be more prevalent in the gay community.

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.

Drivers in China are known for killing pedestrians they’ve accidentally hit. After hitting someone, they respond by continuing to run over the person so that their punishment is less harsh.

If the person is dead, they only have to pay for burial fees and spend very little time in jail. Talk about the laws incentives and disincentives.

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.

GOP pollster Frank Luntz asked Trump supporters about their love for Donald and the results had frightening results. One supporter said it’s obvious he wants to make America great again, because it’s on his hat!

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.

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.

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.”
