The show has been full of on-the-nose hot takes about contemporary politics, as well as debates with political guests over the years. The Young Turks have been known for their unconventional, and often heated, approach to expressing their opinions on various political issues.

Season 1 Episode 1321 of The Young Turks, which aired on Wed, Aug 7, 2019, was a two-hour episode that tackled a variety of controversial political topics. The episode began with a discussion about the ongoing gun control debate in America, in the wake of the recent mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio.

The hosts of The Young Turks, Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and John Iadarola began by discussing the role that Donald Trump has played in the gun control debate. They criticized his back-and-forth stance on gun control, noting that he appeared to be more interested in siding with the NRA than passing meaningful gun control legislation.

The hosts then moved on to discuss the response of Congress to the recent shootings. They criticized Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for failing to address the issue of gun control, despite the fact that there are already two bills on his desk that would expand background checks. The hosts also criticized Democrats for failing to be more aggressive in their approach to gun control, and for not doing enough to pressure Mitch McConnell to take action.

The discussion then shifted to the recent controversy surrounding the Trump administration's decision to bar two Muslim congresswomen, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, from entering Israel. The hosts condemned the move, describing it as an affront to free speech and democracy. They also discussed Donald Trump's seemingly contradictory approach to Israel, noting that he has both supported the country and dismissed its democratic values.

The hosts then turned their attention to the upcoming 2020 presidential election, and debated which Democratic candidate was best positioned to take on Donald Trump. They discussed the strengths and weaknesses of various candidates, including Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Kamala Harris.

Throughout the episode, The Young Turks' hosts offered their unfiltered opinions on a range of controversial issues, and engaged in spirited debates with one another. They criticized politicians on both sides of the aisle, calling for greater accountability and action on important issues such as gun control, free speech, and democracy.

In the end, while The Young Turks hosts did not always agree with one another, they were united in their passion for political change and their commitment to holding those in power accountable. Season 1 Episode 1321 was a thought-provoking and engaging episode of The Young Turks that showcased the show's unique approach to political commentary.
