The Young Turks: March 14, 2014

Cenk, Ben, John Iadarola, & Brian Unger hosting today.  Brian talks about his new horse riding hobby.  New information and theories on the missing Malaysian Airlines plane.  It seems that the plane flew 4 hours off course after it was lost on radar.  The diversion gives more credence to the theory that terrorism was at play, possibly at the hands of the pilots.  While the CIA was spying on the Senate as they conducted an investigation on their torture techniques, the WH has been ignoring requests for the full documents on the CIA’s practices.  The Obama Admin has been covering for the Bush Admin for 5 years, now.  Talk about the frustrating nature of Obama’s policy to not ruffle any feathers.  Paul Ryan has been tussling with outrage over his comments about “inner city culture” of not working being a big problem for our country.  Talk about Ryan’s disconnect with the reality of Americans’ situations.  In response, Ryan first claimed he was taken out of context, then he moved on to say his words were inarticulate and not what he meant.  One of Lindsey Graham’s Republican primary challengers told a press conference that SC is tired of the ambiguously gay Sen Graham.  After McConnell’s awkward campaign ad where he smiles into the camera, parodies of the shot were uploaded all over the internet. Hour 1 source articles Investigators focus on foul play behind missing Malaysia plane: sources http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/14/us-malaysiaairlines-flight-idUSBREA2701720140314 These #McConnelling Videos Take Mitch McConnell's Latest Ad To A Whole New Level http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/14/mcconnelling_n_4965816.html Paul Ryan: 'Inner City' Remarks Had Nothing To Do With Race http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/13/paul-ryan-inner-city_n_4957733.html Report: White House shielding CIA from Senate torture investigation http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/03/12/report-white-house-shielding-cia-from-senate-torture-investigation/ "Why I Called Lindsey Graham 'Ambiguously Gay'" http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/03/14/ambiguously-gay-senator.html

Ana joins Cenk, Ben, and Brian for SCS.  Police in Oklahoma beat a man to death after they responded to a domestic dispute between the man’s wife and daughter. A push for more drug testing is being assisted by a newspaper, especially of the elderly.  Colorado Court of Appeals has ruled that people in jail over marijuana charges can appeal and potentially get out.  Talk about what social issue people will debate when this one is fully accepted by the marijuana lobby.  Cenk predicts that in 5 years, the War on Drugs focusing on marijuana will be over.  A high school teacher was banned from a school event that Obama showed up to because he has had a history of very hateful things said and tweeted about the president.  The school denied that it was what he said as the reason he can’t come to the event.  Real life pimps were interviewed for a study, and they had some interesting things to say about what real pimps are like.  They don’t like the term pimp, look down upon Mexican pimps, and some admitted that they were brought into the game by prostitutes.   Hour 2 source articles HORROR: Five Cops Beat Innocent, Unarmed Father to Death Outside Cinemas http://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politics/horror-five-cops-beat-innocent-unarmed-father-death-outside-cinemas Pimps Are Just Middle Managers: Lessons From the Underground Sex Economy http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-03-12/pimps-are-just-middle-managers-lessons-from-the-underground-sex-economy FL teacher who routinely tweets ‘OBAMA IS A P*SSY’ upset at exclusion from Obama event http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/03/12/fl-teacher-who-routinely-tweets-obama-is-a-pssy-upset-at-exclusion-from-obama-event/ Colorado Appeals Court Says Marijuana Law Can Be Used to Challenge Convictions http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/14/us/colorado-court-says-some-marijuana-convictions-could-be-challenged.html?_r=0

Steve Oh and Dave Koller talk about the leaving of long-time Turk, Tom Hanc. It is indeed the end of an era. **The video quality is low at the moment. It was shot on a camera that is not calibrated for the codec we shoot our other shows on. A better version is on the way. **
