A portion of our Young Turks Main Show from May 7, 2014. For more go to http://www.tytmembership.comCenk hosting. Monica Lewinsky is back in the news with a piece in Vanity Fair to clear air about her reputation.  Republicans, including Lynne Cheney and Greg Gutfeld are assuming this is a conspiracy by Hillary Clinton to put the story out well before the 2016 elections so that it will be an old story before it will hurt her in that election. Cenk gives some credit to this theory. TYT Supreme Court over reasons she’s coming out now. Rep Trey Gowdy has been appointed the chairman of the GOP’s special committee on Benghazi and he’s declaring that this is not political and he won’t be fundraising on this issue. He said this as the NRCC is fundraising off of the backs of 4 dead Americans. Gowdy responded to that info by saying they shouldn’t do it. MSNBC host Thomas Roberts and his producer apologized for making jokes about Cinco de Mayo by drinking tequila and wearing sombreros. A candidate for Michigan state senate has been busted for an old tweet where he went after Melissa Harris Perry, telling her to keep her stinking paws of his kid, you damn, dirty ape. Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Ben Affleck was busted for counting cards at the Hard Rock Casino. A Republican candidate is obsessed with gay sex, comparing the anus to a one way street for a garbage truck. Researchers in the UK found that 1 in 5 people are willing to have sex with a robot. A Japanese restaurant is offering diners eating solo an oversized stuffed animal to be their companion. Cenk wants Japanese to interact more.
