Gina Grad and Dave Rubin join Cenk and Ben for SCS. Ben talks about how uncomfortable the t-shirts are that Cenk prefers for TYT to sell. TYT Super Donor Andres VanDamme talks to the crew. The Metrosexual man is now obsolete, and has been replaced by the Spornosexual; men that are extremely focused on their bodies the way the Metrosexual was focused on his clothing. Ben asserts that men with tattoos shouldn’t be allowed to have children. A man in court got nearly 1 year in jail for cursing out the judge that was sentencing him. A Maryland Repo Man was shot and killed by a man whose car he was attempting to repossess in the middle of the night. The shooter told the police that he shot him twice and that he’s dead in the ditch. He also pointed out that it should be illegal for repo men to do it in the middle of the night. Cenk agrees with this point. The city of L.A. is going to pay a protester that was kicked out of a city meeting for wearing a KKK hood and profanity-clad t-shirt to make a point about how the city was acting like the Klan. He later sued and is settling for a $200K payment. List of the most corrupt states in America. A viewer photoshopped a picture of Amir as a gazelle, so he obliged and laid across the table. -Show notes by Jayar Jackson Hour 2 Source Articles: Sign up for The Young Turks daily source articles email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/PLlqD Man curses judge and gets 364 days in jail for contempt http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/crime/fl-outburst-contempt-of-court-20140612,0,1733884.story The metrosexual is dead.

Cenk, Ben, John Iadarola, and Richard Fowler hosting today. President Obama spoke about the turmoil in Iraq and pointed out that he will not be sending more troops into the country. Cenk appreciates that Obama pointed out that the leadership isn’t reaching out to other members of society that aren’t a part of their ethnic background. John McCain continued his blame of the Obama Administration for the violence in Iraq due to the pullout. He repeatedly pointed out that we “won” the conflict until Obama messed it up. Video of Mika Brzezinski of Morning Joe challenging him on his assertions that we won. Chelsea Clinton’s new contract with NBC News is on a month to month basis. It has been revealed that she was getting paid $600K/year. Cenk is pissed by this number since she doesn’t do anything there and is simply there for access purposes with the Clintons. When Thad Cochran was asked about Eric Cantor losing his primary battle with a Tea Party candidate and revealed that he had no idea “what happened in Virginia.” Cochran also told a fundraising group that he used to do indecent things to animals while growing up in Mississippi. The number of school shootings since Sandy Hook has been reported to be 75, but pro-gun advocates disputed it and convinced CNN to take their number of 15. Their decreased number eliminates several kinds of valid school shootings like targeting shooting and gang shooting. -Show notes by Jayar Jackson Hour 1 Source Articles: Sign up for The Young Turks daily source articles email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/PLlqD Chelsea Clinton paid $600K by NBC http://www.politico.com/story/2014/06/chelsea-clinton-nbc-600-k-salary-107827.html JOHN McCAIN: We Won Iraq — And Obama Lost It http://www.businessinsider.com/john-mccain-obama-lost-iraq-2014-6 Obama Says He Will Decide on Military Support for Iraq in ‘Days Ahead’ http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/14/world/middleeast/obama-iraq.html CNN cuts school shootings since Newtown from 74 to 15 to appease gun advocates http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/06/13/cnn-cuts-school-shootings-since-newtown-from-74-to-15-to-appease-gun-advocates/

On today's edition of "In the Flesch" with Malcolm Fleschner, Steve Oh, and Dave Koller: TYT welcomes super-indie-go-go donor, Andres Van Dam to the studio. Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana blocks oil companies in his state from being sued over land erosion and other environmental violations being perpetrated while searching for, extracting, or transporting fossil fuels, arguing that they are frivolous. Malcolm and Steve play totally true or totally bullshit where topics of discussion include: The reignited sectarian violence in Iraq is Bush's fault, According to the National Organization for Women, George Will should be fired from the Washington Post over his recent idiotic comments regarding rape and sexual assault, Some are suggesting that Brat's defeat of Cantor in the Virginia primary this past Tuesday is not as astounding given the allegation that his campaign received aid from dark money sources, Brat's victory is good for progressives because it will only push conservatives further to the right alienating the general electorate, Given recent developments Donald Sterling may retain ownership of the LA Clippers. Play the game yourself in the comment section below!
