Cenk and John hosting. Bill O’Reilly fought with Kirsten Powers over a debate about whether or not racism is an epidemic in the country. Videos of the two fighting over the state of racism. O’Reilly told Powers to stop snorting over the other guest before she asked if he has any Black friends. Bill Kristol also got argued down over his tweets claiming that the Left isn’t going to stop until all Confederate history is eliminated. Video of John Heilemann pointing out Kristol’s strawman argument. Since 9/11, nearly 2x as many people have been killed by White terrorists than Muslims. A survey of police and sheriff's depts cited anti-government entities as more dangerous than Al Qaeda based. Americans’ support for protesters speaking out is high unless its about Black Americans protesting. Black protesters also see their grievances as more legitimate than others. While speaking at a shooting range, the AP’s photo depicted a poster of a gun on the wall pointed directly at his head. Audio of him telling Mark Levin that this would’ve been seen as an outrage if it were Hillary or Obama with guns being pointed at them, but not with Conservatives. Cenk points out how Cruz loves this trumped up controversy. The military’s zero civilian casualty target when going after ISIS has angered Conservatives like John McCain, who think this is useless, and “an extreme constraint.” Hour 1 Source Articles: Sign up for The Young Turks daily source articles email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/PLlqD Bill Kristol on Companies Dropping Confederate Flag: ‘Pathetic Catering to Political Correctness’ http://www.mediaite.com/tv/bill-kristol-on-companies-dropping-confederate-flag-pathetic-catering-to-political-correctness/ WATCH: Bill O’Reilly freaks out when guest asks: ‘How many black friends do you have?’ http://www.rawstory.com/2015/06/watch-bill-oreilly-freaks-out-when-guest-asks-how-many-black-friends-do-you-have/ AP photo shows a gun pointed at Ted Cruz’s head http://www.politico.com/story/2015/06/ted-cruz-twitter-gun-ap-photographer-picture-119270.html#ixzz3e1UgCFqv" US aim for ‘zero civilian casualties’ draws criticism http://thehill.com/policy/defense/policy-strategy/245932-us-aims-for-zero-civilian-casualties-in-war-vs-isis

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. A man that stabbed his former Boy Scout leader to death has had his charges lowered since he admitted to the crime. The killing was based in the leader’s past actions of sexually assaulted and raping the boy since age 8. When he relayed his story in the court, causing the prosecutors to lower the charges, many applauded his actions. A Kansas woman suffering from extreme Crohn's disease started taking cannabis oil, which turned her life around. When her son debated anti-drug advocates at his school, citing his mother’s success story, the administrators started the process of finding about her use, and took her kids away. She’s facing 30 years for drug possession. Ana is annoyed that the president is too timid to take any action against these useless punishments. Rick Ross has been arrested for aggravated assault and kidnapping after he and his bodyguard took a man into a guest house and beat the hell out of him. Clothing retailer Zara has been identified as a company that systematically takes part in discrimination and racism towards employees and customers of color. The results are particular to the NYC stores. A group of teenagers have developed a condom that detects STIs before having intercourse. A small town in Brazil feverishly celebrates the Confederacy and the Confederate flag. Many modern day citizens are descendants of fleeing Confederates after they lost the Civil War, and after many years of expanding, some residents are Black and mixed but still celebrate the flag. They have no political affiliation to the roots of the flag in America.
