Ana joins Cenk for SCS. The U.S. Sentencing Commission voted that non-violent drug offenders can have their sentences cut short due to our overpopulation problem in jails. On Reddit, a woman shared her husband’s spreadsheet that outlined every time she denied him sex. He included her reasons each time. While she figured this would lead to overwhelming support from the internet, she caught hell. A Conservative member of the British National Party recently posted on his Facebook page that he’s sick of his male dog performing gay acts on other dogs. Cenk asks if dogs don’t live life according to the Bible’s principles, do they go to hell? Cognitive Science magazine discovered that kids’ ability to rationalize fact from fiction is affected if they are taught religion at a young age. Rhode Island has discovered that they had accidentally legalized an indoor form of prostitution in the 2000s. After the discovery, a study was conducted, and revealed that violent sexual crimes significantly dropped during the time. Female gonorrhea also dropped during the time. A Florida father of an 11 year old boy caught an 18 year old family friend sexually assaulting his son. He responded by beating the hell out of the guy and calling the police. The father hasn’t been charged with any crime. “Dark tourism” is on the rise and is becoming more and more commercialized.

Cenk hosting. Latest on the Malaysian airplane crash over Ukraine. Many of the bodies of the victims still haven’t been picked up off of the ground at the crash site. There is a horrible stench in the air and some are in refrigerated cars nearby. Russian news agencies are coming up with crazy excuses for the disaster, in efforts to put the blame on Ukrainians or Malaysian Airlines. Conservatives like Allen West are now linking President Obama with Putin over the shot down airline, while Laura Ingraham wonders if Obama is diverting attention from domestic stories in favor of the Israeli/Palestinian war and Ukraine/Russia conflicts. VP Joe Biden told the New Yorker that in the past he once told Putin that he has no soul. Cenk is calling this story b/s. NetRoots was held over the weekend and it never gets much media coverage or big Democratic names showing up the way CPAC does. Cenk details why this happens. The ongoing war between Israel and Hamas has continued to kill hundreds of Palestinians, prompting Netanyahu to appear on American Sunday shows to talk about how its Hamas’ fault for the kids they’ve continually bombed. Videos of his appearances as well as John Kerry’s overtly supportive statements in favor of Israel while trying to play the middle ground role. Mashup of their eerily similar statements all in one day. A newly released tape from 2001 reveals Netanyahu’s true thoughts on how he knows he can easily move America in any direction he wants to. The former actress that sent ricin to President Obama has been sentenced to 18 years in prison, and this story hasn’t been covered very much at all. Cenk points out how we would’ve reacted in a Muslim sent poison to the president and the mayor of Bloomberg. A prominent Egyptian cleric has asserted that the Muslim Brotherhood is taking part in “Anal Jihad.” Show notes by Jayar Jackson Hour 1 Source Articles: Sign up for The Young Turks daily source articles email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/PLlqD Netanyahu In 2001: 'America Is A Thing You Can Move Very Easily' http://goo.gl/riZ34U Netanyahu: Hamas Wants ‘Telegenically Dead Palestinians’ http://goo.gl/26BwHF The Russian Public Has a Totally Different Understanding of What Happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 http://goo.gl/IUxMRR Ingraham Wonders if Obama Trying to ‘Divert Attention’ from Border Using MH17, Israel http://goo.gl/0WAI6j Prominent Cleric Denounces Muslim Brotherhood’s ‘Anal Jihad’ Practices http://goo.gl/8aJWwX What we learned from liberals at Netroots Nation http://goo.gl/zq0kbq
