The Young Turks: April 01, 2015

Cenk hosting today. Miami Vice intro for Cenk’s blue suit jacket. Sen Bob Menendez has been indicted for fraud. More reactions to Indiana’s gay discriminatory law. Videos of Hannity and Dinesh D’Souza lamenting the intolerance of gay rights activists for their right to discriminate. They went so far to say that if these activists spoke out against Sharia Law, our foreign policy would be stronger. Tucker Carlson jumping in on the issue on Fox News, claiming that gay activists against this law are Jihadis, looking to force them to obey. The state of Kentucky is arguing against the establishment of gay marriage in front of the Supreme Court with the idea that there is no discrimination towards gay people, as both gay and straight people are not allowed to marry someone of the same sex. Everyone is banned from doing it. After the Arkansas legislature passed nearly the same bill that Indiana just signed into law, the Republican governor has decided not to sign it after witnessing the fallout over Indiana. Asa Hutchinson sent it back to have amendments added to avoid the problems Mike Pence is dealing with. He mentioned that he spoke to business leaders about the issue, which affected his decision. Sen Elizabeth Warren recounts a meeting with Jamie Dimon where they discussed regulatory constraints. When she pointed out that Dimon would be breaking the law if he got the rules he wanted, he smugly smiled and said they should just fine him, since he can afford it. Amazing Face of the Day: after 13 years of Gitmo and over 700 prisoners, only 6 convictions have been obtained. The 56 prisoners that have been cleared to leave but remain, cost U.S. taxpayers $168 million per year. Former Rep Michele Bachmann criticized Obama’s potential Iran deal by comparing it to the German Wings pilot that crashed the airplane full of passengers into mountains. Cenk points out that one political Party’s elected officials say such incendiary things, but the game is to call it even. After President Obama increased fuel standards for new cars and Republicans lost their minds over it, claiming he would destroy the country over it, no one is talking about how cars after 2013 are emitting 9% less pollution than previous ones. Cars are also getting more MPG than even expected, saving consumers money at the pump.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. A NYPD cop berated and harassed an Uber driver over being rude on the road. Video of the encounter. An Uber driver in Denver dropped a customer off at the airport, only to return to their house to rob it. When someone else was at the house, he fled, but was caught.

The first restaurant to openly take advantage of the new Indiana law against gay residents was featured on local news. Ana and Cenk comb through the quotes from the owners of the pizza joint. Nature Box mention. A Penis Temple has been erected in Montreal to give people a place to worship the sex organ and masturbate to it. They call for 4 hours/week of masturbation.
