Cenk Uygur host of The Young Turks discusses a Christian group that wants Christians to investigate Republican Candidates and out any homosexual candidates or homosexuals on their staff.
"Apparently seeing 1984 as more of a blueprint than a cautionary tale, the christian themed American Renewal Project is going out of its way to ask pastors and church goers to out homosexuals that are working for Republican Candidates in the 2016 Presidential Race. The group tried to make sure it didn't look like a hate group, with spokesperson David Lane making it clear that they didn't hate homosexuals or any member of the LGBTQ community, they just weren't a fan of the idea of gay-marriage because they're a hate group aimed at outing homosexuals in the Republican Campaigns that find.
As of now the group has not found any substantial evidence that their witch-hunt was successful."

Aasif Mandvi of The Daily Show: Not "That Kind of Muslim" (Interview w/ Cenk Uygur)
Aasif Mandvi established himself as a working actor in Hollywood in the 1990s and early 2000s appearing on TV shows like Miami Vice, CSI, Law & Order, The Sopranos and Oz. But he became a household — if often mispronounced — name after joining The Daily Show with Jon Stewart as a “Senior Foreign-Looking Correspondent” in 2006.
Today Mandvi writes, produces and stars in a comedy web series poking fun at 80s sitcoms and anti-Muslim bias called “Halal in the Family” (http://halalinthefamily.tv)
In this interview, he talks with The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur about:
- Turning down The Daily Show with Jon Stewart’s initial offer for him to audition
- Why his youth spent in the north of England helped him as an adult trying to pick up American women
- How 9/11 changed everything for American Muslims
- How “Halal in the Family” was inspired by news anchor Katie Couric
- Long-standing Muslim traditions that CELEBRATE portraits of the Prophet Muhammad
- What motivates “New Atheists” like Bill Maher and Sam Harris to generalize about Muslims
- How his acting career was inspired in equal parts by The Fonz and Omar Sharif
- Why he once told a casting agent he’d be willing to learn how to be a snake charmer
Check out episodes of “Halal in the Family” here: http://halalinthefamily.tv

DEBBIE COOK: "We were made to do these confessions...one time in front of 100 people, yelling at you. I was put in a trash can, cold water poured over me, slapped. One time it went on for 12 hours...There were times I was accused of being a homosexual, a lesbian..."

The Science Of Doctor Who
For one night only, Professor Brian Cox takes an audience of celebrity guests, including Charles Dance and Rufus Hound, and members of the public on a jourrney into the wonderful universe of the Doctor, from the lecture hall of the Royal Institution of Great Britain.
Drawing on the latest theories as well as 200 years of scientific discoveries and the genius of Einstein, Brian tries to answer the classic questions raised by the Doctor – can you really travel in time? Does extra-terrestrial life exist in our galaxy? And how do you build something as fantastical as the TARDIS?

Jerry DeWitt, Pentecostal Preacher Turned Outspoken Atheist - Friendly Atheist Podcast
Jerry DeWitt was a Pentecostal preacher from Louisiana whose faith began cracking a few years ago. At first, he battled with his doubts internally, but he soon realized he no longer believed what he had been saying from the pulpit for nearly 25 years.
When he finally declared — publicly — that he was an atheist, his life began to fall apart. He wrote about his deconversion in his book Hope After Faith. You may have also seen him in the recent CNN special “Atheists: Inside the World of Non-Believers.”
Hemant spoke with Jerry recently about what led him to initially doubt his religious beliefs, his journey through the Clergy Project, and how he can still get himself into “preacher mode” when speaking.
