It's time again for everybody's favorite segment, Totally True or Totally Bullshit with Steve Oh and Malcolm Fleschner (and Dave Koller)! This week's topics include: • Dave gives an update on the status of the Bolivian government. • Steve talks about TYT content being available on in-flight entertainment on Virgin America Airlines among others via YouTube. • Many levelheaded americans and doctors have criticized the Ebola threat saying that it is overblown in the media. Others counter the critique by saying that a modicum of panic raises awareness and will cause preventative efforts. Totally True or Totally Bullshit? • With Ebola infecting Americans and ravaging West Africa, is wearing an Ebola costume for Halloween inappropriate? Totally True or Totally Bullshit? • Steve Oh shares a debacle involving an orange juice container exploding inside his car while he was driving on the freeway. • The Sayreville High School football program is in a lot of trouble over allegations of a hazing scandal where Freshman team members were anally penetrated with digits and then forced to put their mouths on said fingers. If the upperclassmen had only violated one orifice, the season would still be allowed to continue. Totally True or Totally Bullshit? Show notes by Ben Tannen

The Young Turks: October 17, 2014

Ana and Gina Grad join the panel for SCS. Iran celebrated Sacred Defense week where they roll out defense machinery. One is a Batmobile bus. A group discovered that many art pieces that are out on the market and very sought after are fake. Cenk is giddy over this. Scientists are looking for donations of fecal matter from healthy donors to give to sick patients that need good bacteria. Gina wonders if there is a fecal type like we have blood types. Cenk asks the panel which form they’d take the shit transplant in. Many people in Paris are upset at an artist that erected a huge sculpture that looks like a huge green butt plug. Parisians are outraged and the artist was even attacked. Halle Berry has filed documents to pay her ex boyfriend less money per month in child support from $16K to $3K per month. The boyfriend has quit his job and living off of the monthly payments. Cenk will be upset if Berry gets out of this payment plan, but men that overpay in child support to dead beat mothers continues. Jimmy thinks rich women should withhold sex from broke men. Ana disagrees.

Cenk, Iadarola, Jimmy Dore, and RJ Eskow host TYT. President Obama has announced that he will appoint an Ebola Response Coordinator, or an “Ebola Czar.” Republicans, of course, have come out against Obama’s choice in full effect after bashing him for not having one. Cenk rants about how Obama fell for their trick, yet again. Jimmy talks about the Sickness of Neutrality in the media. New Fox News poll asked its viewers what's the greatest threat: ISIS, Ebola, or Equal? Another asked how things are going in the world today, “To Hell in a Handbasket” or “Everything will be OK.” The NRCC ran a Willie Horton style ad against Democrat Brad Ashford, focusing on a murderer named Nikko Jenkins that was released early and killed again. Video of the ad, and the original Willie Horton ad that seemingly inspired it are shown. Cenk compares the Conservative outrage that ensued after Wendy Davis’ Wheelchair ad to these heinous ones. WolfPAC’s fight to overtake another state, New Jersey, has surpassed 2 of 3 phases. Video of WolfPAC member Steven Garcia testifying to the Jersey committee panel is played. The next step is a vote in the full NJ Senate. Americans for Prosperity showed up and argued against WolfPAC. Cenk noticed that since AFP didn't show up to the Federal Congress discussing an amendment, but showed up to this one, shows that they know this is where their interests can be hit. A video shows the NJ Senate Chairman member talking about how everyone hates fundraising, Dems & Repubs, alike. ISIS has developed limited airpower capabilities, since they’ve obtained Iraqi pilots to train their fighters to fly the jets they captured from the Syrian military. Cenk is skeptical. Russian Miss Hitler 2014 pageant being held. Pictures of some of the contestants are shown.
