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.

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.

Once she caught hell for her language online, she doubled down. Talk about bags while flying.

They take White privilege to mean that they didn’t earn anything they have.</p> 1e79a7c1f90ffe5a6ff58eba86650781 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 00:45:18 +0000 http://traffic.libsyn.com/youngturks/tytTEASE_20150928.m4v <p>A portion of our Young Turks Main Show from September 28, 2015.

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.

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.</p> <p>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.

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.</p> <p>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.

The House has voted to defund Planned Parenthood. It is a symbolic vote since it cannot pass the Senate or the President’s desk.

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.

One of her fundraisers admitted that they told her they want her in the race to attack Hillary.</p> <p>Japanese was fighting over parliament.  Several states have the death penalty, however California has more death sentence than any others state.</p> e905d8ab0f3ee38874efbe0fbf432a78 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 00:50:32 +0000 http://traffic.libsyn.com/youngturks/tytTEASE_20150916.m4v <p>A portion of our Young Turks Main Show from September 16, 2015.

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

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 only injured, the driver will have to pay for their injuries and future issues for the rest of their lives. If the person is dead, they only have to pay for burial fees and spend very little time in jail.

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. <br /><br />In this exclusive interview, Lessig and The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur discuss:<br /><br />- The Kickstarter campaign that will decide whether Lessig officially runs for president.<br />- Why, even if one of them were to become president, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton have no hope of eliminating money from politics.<br />- Why the American people would get behind a one-issue candidacy to get money out of politics.<br />- Why the Democratic party is as guilty as Republicans for the current corrupt system.<br />- Whether Donald Trump’s candidacy is helpful or harmful to the cause of money in politics.<br />- The Three Prongs of Political Corruption that a Citizen Equality Act would deal with.<br />- Whether he would govern as president on other issues while trying to pass the Citizen Equality Act.<br />- 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.<br /><br />Find out more about Lawrence Lessig here: <a rel="nofollow" class="yt-uix-redirect-link" dir="ltr" title="http://www.lessig.org" target="_blank" href="http://www.lessig.org">http://www.lessig.org</a><br />Donate to the Lawrence Lessig for President Kickstarter here: <a rel="nofollow" class="yt-uix-redirect-link" dir="ltr" title="https://lessigforpresident.com" target="_blank" href="https://lessigforpresident.com">https://lessigforpresident.com</a><br />Follow him on Twitter: @Lessig</p> c26df3187915dc1933f246dd73a4d412 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 16:00:00 +0000 http://traffic.libsyn.com/youngturks/tytTEASE_20150821.m4v <p>A portion of our Young Turks Main Show from August 21, 2015.

Johnson is suing Gawker for defamation when a commenter claimed that Johnson was known for pooping in the dorms at their college and the online publication asked the question in response. Conservatives are piping mad that the Roof murders have sparked a debate about racism in America. Video of Rush Limbaugh claiming that the focus on racism in the South is an all out assault on the Republican Party. Bill O’Reilly screamed about how Libs are telling the world that America has a White Supremacy problem, but it’s actually Black people. Video of O’Reilly ready to fight a war over people calling out Fox News. Video of Sean Hannity calling for the ban of the sale of rap music and Beyonce music since they’re worried about offending people with hate speech. Ted Cruz also dodged the question about the Confederate flag, claiming people outside of the states shouldn’t parachute in and tell them what to do. Cenk talks about how this sounds like the racist argument of Northern Agitators that need to mind their own business. Video of another Black Conservative on Fox claiming that Libs created Dylann Roof and that they just want to eliminate history they disagree with.</p> 4753ba09ea5b7be25d40a73304b22242 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 01:06:05 +0000 http://traffic.libsyn.com/youngturks/tytTEASE_20150624.m4v <p>A portion of our Young Turks Main Show from June 24, 2015.

Once authorities finally caught up with and arrested Dylann Roof, it has been confirmed that while being transported back to Charleston, they stopped at Burger King and grabbed him some food. The discussions over the Confederate flag continue as Mississippi and Virginia are also considering pulling the flag from their government buildings and license plates. Video of Haley Barbour telling Morning Joe that he isn’t offended at all by the Confederate flag, but some people are, as he constantly dodged the question of whether or not it should be taken down. Since so many people are claiming that the Confederate flag is about Southern tradition, Cenk breaks down the real origin of the flag, which was introduced and flown as a sign against Civil Rights. Video of Bill O’Reilly claiming that the Confederate flag is a symbol of bravery to many regarding the Civil War. Reading of seceding states’ manifestos over wanting to keep the institution of slavery.<br /><br />Hour 2: Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Don Lemon intro that featured displaying the Confederate flag and a poster of the word Nigger. Video of CNN’s legal analyst disputing Lemon’s use of the word. The internet turned Lemon’s intro into hilarious memes. Piers Morgan is arguing that people using the N-word should be jailed since it leads to widespread racist attitudes. This opinion is based in many European countries’ policy that hate speech is punishable with jail time. A BuzzFeed writer posted about her period on Twitter and the idea of sharing details about one’s menstrual cycle took off. This came up after a user posted a picture of a woman lying in bed with blood showing through her pants, and was swiftly banned. Ana isn’t really in favor of this campaign.</p> bca9e5d38d870c6bdff57e58ff996cac Wed, 24 Jun 2015 00:54:13 +0000 http://traffic.libsyn.com/youngturks/tytTEASE_20150622.m4v <p>A portion of our Young Turks Main Show from June 22, 2015.

During Dylann Roof’s bond hearing, the judge seeing the case said now is the time for forgiveness from the victims. Video of his words to Fox News. Cenk compares this response to what we say after Middle Eastern terrorists strike. He also pointed out that we should recognize the other  victims, Roof’s family. It also came out that in the past, this judge told a Black defendant that there are 4 kinds of people, one being “niggers.” Conservative reaction to the murders in South Carolina blamed Obama and tried to make the point that we need more guns, and for pastors to be armed. Video of Mike Huckabee saying Obama is going after our guns, right before politicizing it himself. An NRA board member blamed the murdered pastor for the killings, claiming that he voted against widening gun rights, but he made that up. Ted Cruz continued with his gun jokes just 2 days after this killing spree in SC. Debate about the Confederate flag flying in South Carolina is heating up after the shooting.

For more go to http://www.tytmembership.com. </p> <p>Hour 1: Cenk hosting. Yesterday’s mass shooting at a historic Black church in Charleston, SC has dominated the news today. A 21-year-old White man killed 9 congregants at a Bible study. Conservatives have claimed this is a sign of attacks on religious freedom when it’s obvious that it was an attack on Black Americans based on racism. Video of Rev. EW Jackson telling Fox & Friends that it’s about Christianity and not about race. Steve Doocy called it extraordinary that it’s being deemed a hate crime. Video of Lindsey Graham pointing out that this shooting isn’t indicative of the character of South Carolina, but it’s not about race, he’s just whacked out. Video of Rick Santorum claiming it’s about attacks on religious freedom. Cenk details the many reasons it’s obvious that the shooter was motivated by race. Former classmates talked about how he’d tell racist jokes, calling him simply proud of his Southern heritage. A White Supremacist group posted to one of the murdered Reverends that his group can run for his seat since he’s dead now. While GOPers try to deny the link between SC and racism, there are at least 19 hate groups that reside in the state. Quotes from other racists that mirror the things that are often openly spouted by Conservatives. Apologists have also ignored the strong history of Black churches being bombed in American history. Cenk details why this attack was also an act of terrorism, despite media’s fear to describe it that way. The government’s plan to monitor Right Wing terrorism was vehemently opposed by Conservatives and Conservative talkers, forcing it to be shut down even though it’s the most common form of terrorism in America. The shooter’s uncle talked about how his father gave him a .45 caliber pistol for his birthday after they acknowledged he has some societal issues. Cenk proves the case that this attack is also due to our horrific gun culture and easy access to the weapons. Video of Obama pointing out the obvious fact that the gun culture is partially responsible. Video of EW Jackson making the case for pastors to begin arming themselves to protect “their flock.”</p> <p> </p> <p>Hour 2: John and Hannah join Cenk for SCS.

AJ Plus video about female prisoners in solitary confinement and the unsanitary nature, especially during a woman’s time of the month. Hannah outlines the other mental issues solitary does to the human brain. Famous transgender woman Laverne Cox spoke about the shame men that date trans women feel. They even hide the fact they date a trans woman to everyone they know.</p> 22c05858cfb9ff199900826f1d7c29f7 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 01:23:25 +0000 http://traffic.libsyn.com/youngturks/tytTEASE_20150617.m4v <p>A portion of our Young Turks Main Show from June 17, 2015.

Now that the Pope’s encyclical on Climate Change has been leaked, Conservatives have turned on him just as Cenk predicted yesterday. Video of Cenk’s prediction. Video mashup of Conservatives going after the Pope. Donald Trump is pushing the lie that the only people crossing our southern border are rapists and drug dealers. He also made false assertions about the economy and job growth. A PPP poll showed that Mitt Romney voters largely see the Duggar family in a more positive light than President Obama, even after the sexual assault scandal that Josh took part in, and they covered up.<br /><br />The TPP agreement details are being kept secret from the public while the government negotiates with multinational corporations that have tons of money to gain from it. A good cop in Baltimore, named Joe Crystal, was at the scene of a gruesome beating a few of his partners illegally carried out on a drug suspect. When Crystal felt conflicted about witnessing the crime, superiors told him to keep quiet. When the official report came out with egregiously false information accusing the suspect of starting the fight that led to his beating, Crystal pointed out the lies only to have his career abruptly ended. The approach from the top was straight out of a gang movie.<br /><br />A couple that was accused of having sex too loud and fighting too loud attacked a neighbor after he complained. After they were arrested, it became known that they have been arrested 45 and 31 times since 2001 for various charges. Cenk is amazed that they continue to be released from jail, and wonders how many years a Black citizen would get for doing a small fraction of these violent crimes. A British paper, The Sunday Times published an article that claimed British spies’ names were given to Russian and Chinese spies by Snowden. It turns out The Times published this simply because it is exactly what the government told them to print.</p> 94d706f17df5476271a9b6010f94d528 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 00:54:27 +0000 http://traffic.libsyn.com/youngturks/tytTEASE_20150616.m4v <p>A portion of our Young Turks Main Show from June 16, 2015.

After Marco Rubio participated in a Koch Brothers’ sponsored event for presidential candidates claiming that the rich donors don’t want anything from the bought candidates, many lobbyists have been seen around him. Videos of Rubio playing dumb, and Ted Cruz voicing his disgust for people calling out the Kochs. During Jeb Bush’s campaign launch speech, he blatantly mischaracterized Hillary Clinton’s previous words about helping kids in foreign countries whose rights are limited based on radical Islamic beliefs. Video of Jeb forming her words to paint her as biased against Christianity in America. Although TYT has a ban on Donald Trump, his announcement to run for President forces us to cover it. Video highlights of his comical announcement.<br /><br />Hour 2: Ana joins Cenk for SCS. They rave about NatureBox. After a gun toting mall security guard murdered a 20 year old woman that resisted his advances, the response from the MRA groups is very supportive of the killer. Latest on Rachel Dolezar now that she’s making the media rounds. Kareem Abdul Jabbar has come out in support of her efforts, claiming that the Black community is better off with her work.

Cenk outlines the Koch Brothers’ favorite candidates as well as Adelson’s. A heavily armed gunman with an armored vehicle started a shootout with Dallas Police at the police station on Saturday. He was a Conservative that felt the PD was too Liberal, and blamed them for his losing custody of his son. CNN’s Fredricka Whitfield called the shooter courageous and brave while talking about his plan to take on the entire police force. Video of her comments and eventual apology after she caught hell. Cenk is annoyed by the level of Political Correctness coming from Conservatives over this. Gun advocacy groups are up in arms over proposed legislation to force potential gun buyers to have a license and be at least 21 years old. Meanwhile, an Iowa mall cop whose online presence was full of open carry gun toting memes and 2nd Amendment talk, has been arrested for shooting and killing a 20 year old woman that worked at the mall. After she reported him for sexual harassment, he was fired, and he returned to get revenge on her.<br /><br />Hour 2: Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Despite the drought California is experiencing, some rich residents are complaining about water limits that they feel should exempt them. Ana quotes a Conservative talk show host that gave the WashPost an unbelievably elitist quote. Seth MacFarlane responded to criticism over Family Guy’s past jokes about Caitlyn Jenner’s transgender identity. Keith Ablow gave his 2 cents on “transracial” Rachel Dolezar by connecting it to Caitlyn Jenner and his desire to claim he’s a senior citizen eligible for Medicare. A man facing a paternity test for a newborn baby sent a lookalike to take the test so he could be off the hook for child support, but was busted. Ana gives her theory on dating a good looking guy and how many women throw themselves at him.</p> 55200676d941b4c84cd619b8dc2fa646 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 00:57:16 +0000 http://traffic.libsyn.com/youngturks/What_the_Flick_Game_Of_Thrones_Season_5_Ep_9.mp3 <p>HBO's Game of Thrones Season 5 Episode 9 S05E09 ("The Dance Of Dragons") is reviewed.<br /><br />Find out what Ben Mankiewicz, Cenk Uygur, and John Iadarola of Think Tank think in this discussion and review of HBO's Game of Throne's season 5 episode 9, "The Dance Of Dragons"!<br /><br />What was your favorite scene in this episode?

A Secret Service agent has been placed on administrative leave for sending lewd text messages to an unnamed DC Staffer after working an event that Michelle Obama was attending. The texts were sent 9 hours after the completion of the event, while he was off the clock. John doesn’t understand the reason for the uproar. Jimmy is torn, and understands why a boss may fire an employee that is doing this. For over a decade, UN Peacekeepers have been bartering relief aid for sex in countries they are sent to for help. Haiti victims were specifically detailed in these findings. Idaho legislators are proposing the Bible to be used for a litany of school subjects as a guide to learn them.

Videos of the grilling.<br /><br />Electile Disfunction Segment. Ted Cruz has invited one lucky campaign supporter on a shooting excursion with him as part of a sweepstakes.

Video of Beck talking about the Black Robe Regiment of ministers that are willing to walk into sure death to serve God over man. A new EPA report claims that fracking doesn’t pose a massive risk to our drinking water. The operative word is “massive” as it admitted that it does contaminate water, but it hasn’t affected widespread amounts of water in the nation. Cenk is torn, and doesn’t know if he should trust the EPA, while Jimmy isn’t confused at all, that this report is flawed since the fracking companies didn’t cooperate. Louie Gohmert complained about President Obama’s handling of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict by quoting some radical leaders’ comments about wiping Israel off the map. Video of Gohmert accusing Obama of being an accessory to terrorism.<br /><br />Hour 2: Ana replaces John for SCS. An opponent of Caitlyn Jenner disputed her courage by comparing her to men with real courage, soldiers. He posted a picture of a couple of soldiers in battle to illustrate, but didn’t realize that it was a sculpture created by an artist that has endured ridicule and near death beatings for cross dressing as a woman. A researcher has discovered that financial dependence affects whether or not someone cheats. In every variable, men are more likely to cheat when they are more dependent, and when they are the breadwinner. A California Geometry teacher is under fire for asking his students to take a selfie with their parents’ sex toys for extra credit. After one student pulled off the feat, the teacher shared it with the class.

Videos of his jokes, and him walking away from a reporter that asked him why he chose to target Biden during his time of grieving over his son’s death. Cenk gives him the benefit of the doubt that he possibly forgot the horrible news about his son until he saw him walk away from the question. The anti-choice legislation that Scott Walker is planning on signing includes language that would allow the father of the baby to sue the doctor for “emotional distress.” This comes right after Walker claimed women that are raped get over it in the 1st couple of months of the pregnancy, so its ok to force them to carry out the pregnancy.<br /><br />Hour 2: Meundies plug.

Videos of Fox News’ Outnumbered panel including actor Paul Sorvino disputing the fact that the country is respected. After Pope Francis has announced he will put out an encyclical about climate change, Rick Santorum told a radio show that the Church should leave science to the scientists since they’re wrong on this. Scott Walker responded to the critics of his anti-abortion bill that wouldn’t protect victims of rape or incest by claiming they only worry about it during the 1st couple of months. Video.<br /><br />Hour 2: Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Preview of Megyn Kelly’s interview with the Duggars, where they are clearly out to do damage control and have their victim daughters say everything is ok. Kelly already said she will not ask them any tough questions. An Atlanta man went to the airport and carried an AR-15 with a 100 round drum to drop his daughter off for a flight. He knew it was legal to walk through the unsecured areas, where he was only asked questions by a few law enforcement officials. He was offended he was even asked about his gun and permit. Cenk imagines what the scene would be if a Muslim did the same thing. A Black family in Mississippi was arrested and cited a week after their child graduated from high school for celebrating as her name was called the ceremony. They were also kicked out of the event when it happened.</p> 370a2bbd30a5f6a1b6108f71c21477fb Thu, 04 Jun 2015 00:57:48 +0000 http://traffic.libsyn.com/youngturks/tytTEASE_20150602.m4v <p>A portion of our Young Turks Main Show from June 2, 2015.

Rush Limbaugh went after Sec of St John Kerry for riding a bicycle, falling, and breaking his leg. Videos of Limbaugh claiming that Kerry is too old, is just doing it for a photo op, and that other distinguished Republican Sec of State would never ride bikes. Pictures of the most beloved Republicans upon bikes. Video of Limbaugh railing on “exercise freaks” that hurt themselves all the time and burden the Healthcare system. Glenn Beck and his crew disputed the fact that global warming caused the drought and flooding in Texas, right before claiming that it was because of Rick Perry’s prayer and fasting in Idaho that the drought ended. Cenk remembers that Glenn Beck is really losing his mind, video of him claiming that his time of calling is coming, where giants will be made. Sepp Blatter has resigned as head of FIFA, just days after his reelection.<br /><br />An 18 year old Black man was shot and killed by police at a WalMart. Authorities claimed he was shoplifting without proof, and threatened to arrest his mother when she asked what was going on. The officer that killed the man has a history of killing unarmed citizens, posting Nazi imagery online, and one of his supervisors warned that the officer is dangerous and likely to cause more harm. Findings show that cops are responsible for 1 in every 13 gun deaths, and that the rate is rising. One third of the time a Black citizen is killed by cops, they are unarmed, and two thirds are all minorities. The crime of manspreading on NYC subways that was created to allow more space for subway riders has been applied to harass and arrest primarily Black and Latino riders. 94% of the people detained via this law were minorities.</p> f2801d45f42bb3a2892bf464dce04951 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 00:47:41 +0000
