The Young Turks: June 02, 2015

Cenk hosting today on the 1st National Gun Violence Awareness Day. Rush Limbaugh went after Sec of St John Kerry for riding a bicycle, falling, and breaking his leg. Videos of Limbaugh claiming that Kerry is too old, is just doing it for a photo op, and that other distinguished Republican Sec of State would never ride bikes. Pictures of the most beloved Republicans upon bikes. Video of Limbaugh railing on “exercise freaks” that hurt themselves all the time and burden the Healthcare system. Glenn Beck and his crew disputed the fact that global warming caused the drought and flooding in Texas, right before claiming that it was because of Rick Perry’s prayer and fasting in Idaho that the drought ended. Cenk remembers that Glenn Beck is really losing his mind, video of him claiming that his time of calling is coming, where giants will be made. Sepp Blatter has resigned as head of FIFA, just days after his reelection. An 18 year old Black man was shot and killed by police at a WalMart. Authorities claimed he was shoplifting without proof, and threatened to arrest his mother when she asked what was going on. The officer that killed the man has a history of killing unarmed citizens, posting Nazi imagery online, and one of his supervisors warned that the officer is dangerous and likely to cause more harm. Findings show that cops are responsible for 1 in every 13 gun deaths, and that the rate is rising. One third of the time a Black citizen is killed by cops, they are unarmed, and two thirds are all minorities. The crime of manspreading on NYC subways that was created to allow more space for subway riders has been applied to harass and arrest primarily Black and Latino riders. 94% of the people detained via this law were minorities. More than 4 in 5 Americans believes money plays a negative role in our political process, and that rich Americans influence the system in their favor.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. The TSA chief has been reassigned after the DOJ determined that the Agency is failing in 95% of cases to detect potential weapons. A Christian website made the case that wives should never deny her husband sex, according to Biblical teachings. It went on to say that there is no such thing as marital rape. If the woman isn’t in the mood every once in a long while, she should never give a flat no, but humbly, and respectfully ask for a delay. Researchers are looking into a parasite that house cats tend to carry that harm humans. 25% of Americans have it, and they’ve discovered that the virus lowers the IQ of the affected. A British woman has been arrested for having loud sex after being warned by annoyed neighbors. Cenk tells the story of a friend that liked to sleep with earplugs and night blindfolds. A female scientist wrote into an advice column about being gawked at in the workplace and received a bit of a surprising response from Dr. Hung. Cenk somewhat agrees with the advice. A Danish politician released an ad that featured his penis, and Ana is impressed. Andrea Tantaros of Fox News defended a protein shake ad in the UK that called for people to get their beach body. Video of Tantaros claiming that anyone with a functioning brain thinks about their body being beach ready.
