The Young Turks: December 12, 2013

Gun control is discussed one year after the Newtown shooting. Since then, 109 gun laws have been passed. 39 of them tightened the gun laws, while 70 loosened them. Cenk does some WOLFPAC updates. He does some shoutouts for supporters. Megyn Kelly on Santa Claus and race is discussed. In response to people saying they want to see a black santa, she says Santa is white, and that it is what it is. Cenk throws some knowledge at us, giving us a brief history of Santa Claus, who is actually from modern day Turkey. Historical paintings of people from Bethlehem are shown, most of whom are from a browner skin tone. Brian Fisher says that the founding fathers meant freedom of religion only for Christianity. Judaism, Islam, and all other religions are not covered. Cenk brings up a quote by Thomas Jefferson, saying that the US government is in no way based on the Christian religion.

A 16 year old from Texas who killed 4 kids in a drunk driving accident is only getting 10 years probation. His defense? Affluenza. He believed that because of his wealth and privilege there was no rational link between cause and consequence. The probation and treatment program is going to cost around $450,000, which his father is going to pay. Update on the Mandela sign language interpreter: apparently he has a history of schizophrenia, and that during the ceremony he started hallucinating and seeing angels. Brooklyn, NY, is the supposed lesbian capital of the northeast.  In the UK, lesbian encounters/experiences are on the rise. Since 1990, there are 4x as many people who say they have had a lesbian experience. The Chinese state broadcast CCTV tried to justify the countries smog problem by making a list of benefits from the pollution. Among others, they say that it unifies the people. Nothing has changed in India since they supposedly decided to tighten up the rape problem in the country last year. Also in India - homosexual acts have been criminalized, based on a colonial era law. MI lawmakers have passed a rape insurance law, banning insurance companies from getting abortions even when raped.  Look for TYT Announcements from Ambassador Jeni here: http://bit.ly/TYTForum
