Wednesday, March 18, 2015 Hour 1 Segment 1 Cenk hosting today. Benjamin Netanyahu won re election for Prime Minister in convincing fashion. Some rhetoric from Bibi during the homestretch of the election warned of the large number of Arab Israelis heading to the polls. He also made it clear that he has no intention of taking part in a 2 state solution, unlike his previous promises of ending the occupation. Cenk talks about the implications of Netanyahu’s win and his declarations to never work toward peace with the Palestinians and Arab population. With this promise, the possibility of the boycott Israel movement becomes more of a reality in the future. Cenk talks about how this may force the rest of the world to come down harder on Israel and potentially sway them towards a peaceful approach.   Segment 2 Now that Netanyahu has won, some potential GOP candidates for president are lining up to kiss his ass and demean the Obama Admin in comparison. Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Carly Fiorina, Rick Santorum, Ted Cruz, and Mick Huckabee all took part in the bowing. They personified their term “leading from behind.” Some Republican Presidential hopefuls are dealing with offensive tweets from aides directed at President Obama and the Iowa Summit. Scott Walker’s aide has been fired for tweeting about her distaste for the Iowa Caucus; the most conservative wing of the Party. Ben Carson’s aide tweeted about Obama bending over, calling him a bitch. He went on to tweet that Palin and Cruz are idiots. Although he wasn’t fired, he deleted the account and disappeared from social media. Cenk pardons both of the aides as he doesn’t think its a very big deal. A terrorist was caught trying to plan an attack on DC and to kill Obama, but wasn’t described as the terrorist that he is because he is a White man from Missouri. Cenk wonders why we this radical isn’t labeled correctly.  A recent study showed that the collective amount of every min wage earner in 2014 were half the amount of Wall Street bonuses in that same year. When their salaries are included, the Wall St bankers make 4x the amount of min wage workers.   Hour 1 Source Articles: Sign up for The Young Turks daily source articles email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/PLlq Netanyahu Reelected - What This Means For Israel http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/18/netanyahu-hard-right-shift-election_n_6892552.html Reactions To Netanyahu's Reelection Not Completely Favorable? http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/republicans-congratulate-netanyahu-win Who Are Netanyahu's GOP Supporters? http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/republicans-congratulate-netanyahu-win Presidential Candidate's Aides Trash Tweet Obama http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/ben-carson-jim-dornan-twitter-deleted White Supremacist Terrorist Plot To Kill Obama Thwarted http://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/cameron-stout-missouri-obama-threat
