Futurist, change management specialist and “X: The Experience When Business Meets Design” author Brian Solis sits down with The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur to talk about the past, present and future and how more and faster change is coming, and the only question is whether you’re going to be a part of that change or a victim of it. Along the way, the two discuss how disruptive technologies and changing cultural standards will affect the news business, city planning, transportation and nearly every other aspect of how we live our lives. Specifically, Uygur and Solis address: - Why it’s not so terrible that people engage with their phones more than with one another face-to-face - Why Apple, a company that never designed a remote control, will soon revolutionize what a remote control can do. - How legacy-based decision making is killing both the taxi and TV news businesses - Why Cenk says he’s more afraid of a random kid in Nebraska than all the cable news organizations in the world.

The Green Party’s Dr. Jill Stein is serious about running for president, and taking on the system that drives up student loan debt and healthcare costs, cuts taxes for the rich, promotes endless war while flooding weapons across the Middle East, and bails out the criminals on Wall Street while channeling young African-American males into the school-to-prison pipeline. In this wide-ranging interview with The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur, Stein also shares: - Her plan to drive young people to the polls by promising to eliminate student debt - Why, as much as she admires Bernie Sanders, the Democratic machine will never let him win - Her strategy for dealing with ISIS - The lessons of the Obama presidency - Her position on Black Lives Matter - Why no one else will deal with the urgency of the climate crisis - How her plan for a Green New Deal can turn back the tide against climate change while providing jobs and promoting a thriving economy For more information about the Jill Stein candidacy, visit http://www.jill2016.com/ Follow Dr. Stein on Twitter: @DrJillStein Follow Cenk on Twitter: @CenkUygur Like this interview?

The United States’ targeted drone killing program is notoriously fraught with controversy. Just a few pointed concerns include the practice of video game-like killing from afar, the inevitable deaths of non-combatants and the constitutionality of extra-judicial murder away from the battlefield with no due process or transparency. In this fascinating and at times disturbing TYT Interview, The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur speaks with former US Air Force drone operator and whistleblower Brandon Bryant and DRONE filmmaker Tonje Hessen Schei about the process of becoming a drone operator, what it’s like to kill someone you’ve never met from thousands of miles away while watching the event unfold on a screen, the impact of the US drone program on terrorist recruiting, and much more.

David Duke first rose to prominence in the ‘70s and ‘80s as a modern, more photogenic representative of the white supremacist movement, abandoning the Ku Klux Klan's robe and hood in favor of business suits and trading overt racist appeals in exchange for more “acceptable” coded language that involved disparaging “welfare queens” and “racial set-asides.” Duke eventually left the Klan to found the “National Association for the Advancement of White People,” served one term as a Republican in the Louisiana state house, published two books, one on “Racial Understanding” and the other on “Jewish Supremacism,” ran for governor, senator and president, served a 15-month prison sentence for mail fraud and tax evasion, and today is a well-traveled international spokesman bringing attention to what he views as the Zionist conspiracy to run the world. In this at times combative interview, an increasingly exasperated Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks listens as Duke goes on at great length attempting to substantiate his claims of a purported Jewish control of the media, the entertainment and banking industries and the US government - all while denying the label of anti-semite. During the few breaks in his harangue, Duke briefly answers questions about: - Whether he has any sympathy for African-Americans who, like him, claim to be victims of discrimination in the criminal justice system. - Whether black people are more criminally inclined than white people or are simply targeted for arrest more frequently than whites. - If MSNBC is run by a secret Irish-American cabal - If he feels vindicated by the GOP’s adoption of policies he first pioneered, including the drug-testing of welfare recipients - Whether all his railing against Zionism isn’t simply jealousy at the successes Jews have achieved while his and other white people’s fortunes have continued to dwindle.

The child of Haitian-born parents, Fugees co-founder Pras Michél has always felt an affinity for the Caribbean nation and the long-suffering Haitian people. After a devastating earthquake hit Haiti in 2010 and the government seemed incapable of or uninterested in helping ease the people’s plight, Pras helped recruit hugely popular musician Michel Martelly, a.k.a. “Sweet Micky,” to run for president. Martelly’s successful campaign is documented in the new film “Sweet Micky For President” (http://www.sweetmickyforpresident.com) In this wide-ranging interview with The Young Turks’ Jayar Jackson, Pras talks about: - The role of protests in a democratic society - How the Arab Spring and other movements abroad may finally be coming to the United States - What was different about the University of Missouri football team’s protest - and why it succeeded - How the LA Clippers could have made more of an impact to protest against owner Donald Sterling’s racist comments - Whether health care should be a right or a privilege - The Obama legacy - Whether Donald Trump has a real shot at winning the presidency - Sweet Micky as a man of the people and whether fellow Fugee Wyclef Jean could have also won.

With allies like Cornel West and Quentin Tarantino, longtime activist and revolutionary Carl Dix helped found the Rise Up October movement against police brutality. He’s also been at the forefront of the fight against mass incarceration, the war on drugs and stop-and-frisk practices while supporting communities where police violence has ended the lives of African-Americans like Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, John Crawford and Michael Brown. In this interview with The Young Turks’ host Cenk Uygur, Dix attacks the capitalist and imperialist sources that reinforce a range of societal ills, including police misconduct, the mass incarceration and marginalization of black and Latino Americans, the war on women and the dual exploitation and scapegoating of undocumented immigrants. The solution, he says, is to bring these structural inequities to light, compel the masses to decide “which side are you on?” and then mobilize for a political, economic and structural revolution and wholesale realignment of society.

Having recently returned from his latest visit to some of the most remote areas of Bolivia, Ramesh Srinivasan, director of the UC Digital Cultures Lab and an Associate Professor in Information Studies at UCLA, joins The Young Turks’ Dave Koller to discuss how cultural diversity can be empowered through technology efforts. Bolivia is such a richly multicultural nation that it can be seen as an interesting example for many of us across the world who are interested in how to support cultural diversity in a world where this is being lost. Srinivasan shares fascinating stories of how Bolivia’s indigenous communities are reinventing traditional media - specifically radio - to spread information across far-flung regions of the country, promote indigenous causes and help organize labor and workers. He provokes us to think about how social media and Internet initiatives can learn from radio. Also discussed in this wide-ranging interview: - The emerging and dynamic politics of South America, with an eye toward Bolivia and the pope's recent visit to the region - The tensions and paradoxes associated with Bolivian president Evo Morales - How radio may provide an answer to the angst we feel about the Internet - Why new media and the Internet have failed to take hold with rural and indigenous communities and how radio can be a teacher in overcoming this. - How technologies can support indigenous and non-western values and beliefs. - What those of us in the west can learn from Bolivia’s efforts to promote connectedness. - The first-hand experience of seeing Bolivians’ reaction to Pope Francis’ recent visit.

When we hear the term “Stem Cell Research”, we automatically think of controversy, and the conflict between religious groups and medical researchers that stole headlines in the lead up to the 2000 election. Today, stem cell research has progressed beyond using cells from embryos and is now an essential part of medical research – and potentially treatment – in adults. Watch the first video in this series where Cenk interviews Praveen Singh and Jayde Lovell: Stem Cell Research: At TYT It's Personal (Cenk Uygur Interview w/ Praveen Singh and Jayde Lovell) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb0umBLB-18&list=PLvTWdtzKwG6eaI3iFSEbvHUWyNO7WsZmG&index=2 Just one frontier for stem cell research is finding a cure for acute heart conditions. Around 280,000 people die every year from heart attacks, and many of those people will die with no warning and no prior history of heart disease. Research into the cause of these heart attacks is difficult – studying the genetic mutations that cause these heart attacks is all but impossible, as most carrying the mutation will never know they have it. But new stem cell technology allows doctors to use blood cells from an affected adult to grow both healthy and diseased tissue, giving scientists an opportunity to study the disease and trial potential cures.

One day, at age 31, The Young Turks' Head of Business Development Praveen Singh unexpectedly passed out at work. After a trip to the emergency room and multiple subsequent tests, she was told her episode had been caused by an irregular heart beat associated with a condition called "ventricular tachycardia." Watch the second video in this series where Cenk interviews the research team: How Stem Cell Research Is Curing Congenital Heart Defects (Interview w/ Cenk Uygur) https://youtu.be/ilVjSnE5t44 In this interview with TYT host Cenk Uygur and TYT science correspondent Jayde Lovell, Singh talks about the international fact-finding journey she embarked on to learn more about her condition and the difficult decisions she's had to make about whether to follow medical advice and have a defibrillator implanted and to take medications for the rest of her life. The three also discuss how and why stem cell research is a uniquely effective method for uncovering the root cause of ventricular tachycardia and critical to helping isolate and cure a range of cardiac conditions that lead to the premature deaths of thousands of Americans.

Judah Friedlander got his “big break” when he was cast as slacker comedy writer Frank Rossitano on the NBC hit sitcom 30 Rock. But before that Friedlander had been a working standup for decades, acted in dozens of popular films and TV shows and taught the masses the secrets to becoming an undisputed World Champion in “How to Beat Up Anybody: An Instructional and Inspirational Karate Book.” Now Judah’s got a new cartoon book out, titled “If the Raindrops United,” filled with his uniquely subversive, thought-provoking and hilarious drawings. In this wide-ranging interview with The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur, Friedlander talks about: - What “if the raindrops united” means and its message for humanity - His experiences getting cock-blocked by reverse anti-semitism - Developing his “World Champion” persona and how its evolved over the years - Which GOP presidential candidate stole his act, right down to the wardrobe choices - How the marketing of “American Exceptionalism” and a “We’re #1” attitude keeps the US from addressing glaring societal flaws and shortcomings. - Why American schooling is about keeping kids from learning to think for themselves - Why too few people are able to view the world through the lens of anyone else’s experience Buy Judah’s book: http://www.powells.com/book/if-the-ra...
