The Young Turks: September 24, 2015

Cenk hosting. The Pope spoke to Congress today and Cenk admits he kind of loves him. Reading through some of his progressive stances that clearly line up with Catholic belief. After the speech, the Pope greeted the huge crowd from a balcony and while standing next to him, Boehner couldn’t hold back tears. Video of this crying session as well as one moment where Marco Rubio appeared to be crying during the speech. Cenk doesn’t believe Rubio was crying when the subject was on immigrants. Just late last year, Rubio criticized the Pope for his stance on America working toward an agreement with Cuba. One Republican Congressman refused to attend the Pope’s appearance, claiming that since he’s acting like a Leftist politician, he’ll treat him like one. Donald Trump is in yet another fight with Fox News. Video of Rich Lowry telling Megyn Kelly that Carly Fiorina cut Trump’s balls off in the last debate. Trump responded with tweets demanding an apology. Videos of Trump complaining to Morning Joe that Fox doesn’t treat him fairly by their poll coverage and allowing Rich Lowry to talk about his balls. Cenk predicts that Fox News will be the one left standing. Another cat fight between Eric Bolling and Geraldo over why some Middle Eastern countries hate us. Video of Geraldo getting in Bolling’s face. 13 year old Obama hating Conservative darling CJ Pearson released another video claiming that Obama blocked him on Twitter. Video of his latest annoying rant. Cenk points out that this kid has a big Conservative following because they feel they can use him for their agenda. An altercation between a woman and a Boston police officer on a city bus was caught on tape. The other bus riders convinced the cop to put his gun away once he started to threaten her with it. Video of the fight. The Hajj pilgrimage is happening, where tons of Muslims are taking a trip to Mecca. Since there were so many people at one site, something sparked a stampede, killing 717 people. Cenk wonders where these believers’ God was when they were faced with death at the holiest site.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. After Kanye West mentioned that he wanted to run for president one day, Vanity Fair followed up on that assertion in a new interview. He pointed out that he’s really going to do it and needs to do his research in the next 5 years. He also said that Ben Carson is a brilliant guy, which prompted Cenk to determine that Kanye isn’t very bright. A young Mexican girl fought through adoring crowds to get a note to the Pope during his visit. Her letter detailed her concerns over deportation of her parents even though she’s an American citizen. Cenk can’t get over how this girl didn’t write this sophisticated letter. Former UFC fighter David Abbott is challenging Ronda Rousey to a match. ACLU released info on the number of people that receive jail time when they’re not able to pay minor tickets. This happened in 289 cases in one year, which results in poor people being jailed for simply being poor. After many do their time to eliminate the violation price, their lives are ruined. Ana reads the details of one case. A school board in NJ decided to not take a day off of school to celebrate a Muslim holiday the way NY decided to do. AJ Plus video on the subject. Ana is against getting any days off of school.
