Bill speaks with clinical psychologist Dr. Vincent Greenwood about his book, Puppet on a String, and Greenwood's argument that Donald Trump fits the criteria for clinical psychopathy. Greenwood explains his assessment process, why he says an in-person interview is not required, and why he believes the condition has serious implications for Trump's conduct in office.They discuss the Hare Psychopathy Checklist, the traits Greenwood says are most relevant to Trump, and why he views the book as a warning to the public and to constitutional decision makers.Greenwood says an in-person exam isn't required: He describes evaluating behavior through records, interviews, biographies, and other public evidence.The book's central metaphor: The “puppeteer” is clinical psychopathy, the “puppet” is Trump, and the “prey” is the public affected by harmful behavior.Psychopathy is a pattern of traits: Greenwood presents it as a combination of behavioral tendencies, emotional deficits, and harm to others.The conversation covers traits including glibness, grandiosity, pathological lying, lack of remorse, callousness, impulsivity, and irresponsibility.Greenwood's reported score: He says Trump scored 32 on the checklist, above the commonly cited cutoff of 30 to diagnose a psychopath. Three traits Greenwood says matter in office: Impulsivity, remorselessness, and an insatiable drive to dominate. Greenwood argues these traits can shape decision-making, responses to tragedy, demands for loyalty, and political polarization.The book is a warning: Greenwood describes it as an effort to inform Congress, the cabinet, and the public.You can get your own copy of this important book at Bookshop.org.

Bill helms a two-part podcast featuring science and technology journalist Jacob Ward and Mother Jones's David Corn. Ward discusses escalating public warnings from AI industry leaders, arguing fears of self-aware “Terminator” AI are less likely than harms from misuse, poor control, and mistakes, citing examples of AI-assisted toxin research, targeting systems, and privacy invasion; he says meaningful regulation, legal liability, and careful U.S.-China negotiations are needed, and critiques Donald Trump's dismissal of AI concerns. Corn discusses his book “How Russia Won, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and the Fight for America ” contending Russia has waged gray-zone information warfare against the U.S. since 2016 to weaken the West and benefit Trump, describing continued disinformation efforts, Trump's favorable treatment of Putin, and episodes involving Giuliani, alleged Russian agents, and January 6 as a major victory for delegitimizing U.S. democracy.To follow Jacob Ward's work, go to TheRipCurrent.com and for David's new book, go to HowRussiaWon.com.

The whole world can see Trump trying to control information about his presidency. We know from history that... "When empires or authoritarian regimes are under threat or fall, it's common for the press to become an early casualty. Controlling the flow of information is crucial for those in power, and when that power is challenged, media censorship, suppression, or manipulation often intensifies." (savejournalism.com) We shine a spotlight on Trump's decision to remove CNN from its scheduled role as the television pool representative for the White House press corps. The move breaks with decades of precedent and follows Trump's announcement that CNN, MS NOW, and Politico are banned from the White House. While Trump cries "fake news," the rest of the world sees a man scared of the truth closing in. The amazing Sarah Kendzior will join us. She is a best selling author, scholar and journalist.

As Middle East tensions escalate on multiple fronts and Congress votes again to end the Iran War, political friction has spilled over into pop culture.

Did Benjamin Netanyahu receive direct advance warning of the catastrophic October 7th attacks? Piers Morgan Uncensored examines a bombshell report from Haaretz claiming the UAE Prime Minister personally warned Netanyahu one week prior to the attack about a terrifying operation poised to destabilise the region.

In this episode, we explore the complex history and contemporary character of Turkish Cypriot Islam, a tradition often described as highly secular, private, or even residual. My guest, Mete Hatay (Senior Research Consultant from the Peach Research Institute in Oslo), helps me unpack the many explanations Turkish Cypriots themselves have given for this secularism -- from claims of Alevi or crypto-Christian ancestry to broader narratives shaped by modern Turkish nationalism and a long history of religious marginalization. We trace Islam's arrival in Cyprus and examine how early patterns of settlement—including the banishment of heterodox or “undesirable” Muslim groups to the island—shaped the religious landscape. The episode examines how the mid-19th century Ottoman reforms began dismantling these traditions long before modern secularism took hold. We explore how efforts to centralize authority, suppress heterodox practices, and control waqf resources alienated Cypriot Muslims from their own religious institutions. British colonial rule, despite preserving formal autonomy through the Evkaf, further weakened Islamic infrastructure. We also look at how Cyprus became an unexpected refuge for Young Turks and how, in the early 20th century, Kemalist ideals found unusually fertile ground among Turkish Cypriots--shaping attitudes toward religion, education, and public life for decades to come.

Bill interviews former Labor Secretary and UC Berkeley professor emeritus Robert Reich about a Supreme Court decision on the Trump Ballroom he says reflects collapsing guardrails and a “unitary executive theory” that concentrates power in the president, which Reich argues effectively resurrects a king; he suggests Chief Justice John Roberts may be trying to prevent Trump from ignoring the Court outright. Reich says Trump's claims about prosperity are false, calling the economy weak, foreign policy a fiasco, and warning the country is in worse shape than under Nixon. Reich disputes Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's denial of a K-shaped economy, citing rising wealth concentration, debt in the bottom half, and wages lagging inflation, while noting $40 trillion in national debt and growing interest payments benefiting bondholders after major tax cuts for the rich. They discuss oligarchic influence, billionaire tech figures, data centers' electricity, water, and noise burdens, and Reich's call to restrict or even ban them and regulate AI. Reich sees progressive Democrats focused on cost of living and money in politics as timely, warns of threats to voting, and predicts Democrats could regain the House; he urges a campaign message centered on jobs, wages, affordability, anti-monopoly action, paid leave, and higher taxes on the rich.Check out Bob's substack: RobertReich.substack.com/ and YouTube Channel: youtube.com/@RBReichHere is a link to Bob's book, https://bookshop.org/p/books/coming-up-short-a-memoir-of-my-america-robert-b-reich/74502451024fd083See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tucker Carlson has spent the past several days at the center of several overlapping fights in politics, media, and law, and listeners are seeing his role shift further from TV host to highly polarizing political actor. On his YouTube show, Carlson recently devoted an episode to the Iran conflict and the prospect of the United States using nuclear weapons. RadarOnline reports that in an August 28 discussion with former counterterrorism official Joe Kent, Carlson said any president who seriously considers first use of nuclear weapons should be removed from office, and he applied that standard to Donald Trump, breaking sharply with his former ally over what he called a red line on nukes. This follows a string of recent episodes, including a war-focused conversation with Harvard professor Stephen Walt about Iran, Russia, China, and the risk of nuclear escalation, highlighted by platforms like rova and Singjupost, where Carlson portrayed Trump's Middle East moves as dangerously destabilizing and the war in Iran as the biggest presidential mistake of his lifetime. Those comments are feeding speculation about Carlson's political ambitions. ABC News Daily recently explored whether he might run for president in 2028, citing his new 10‑point “vision for America” and his meetings with former representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie. The Telegraph characterizes that document as resembling a campaign platform and describes Carlson as positioning himself as a post‑Trump populist willing to “destroy” the current Republican Party in favor of a new movement. Trump, in turn, has escalated his attacks. Yahoo News and RT report that the president used Truth Social to call Carlson, Greene, and Massie “three losers,” saying Carlson is “totally irrelevant” with “very low IQ” and accusing him of plotting a political run that has “no chance.” Pro‑Trump outlets have echoed that line, while Carlson's allies point to his growing online audience and argue that his criticism of Trump over Iran reflects a principled anti‑war stance. At the same time, Carlson is facing legal threats from an old ally. The New York Post and Newsmax segments summarized by the WLT Report describe Rudy Giuliani announcing that he is preparing a defamation suit against Carlson over Carlson's recent interview with Hunter Biden. In that interview, covered by outlets such as the Jerusalem Post and Firstpost, Carlson claimed that people tied to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approached his Fox team years ago with allegations about explicit content on Hunter Biden's laptop and pushed the story into the media. Giuliani, who was central to leaking the laptop material to the New York Post, blasted Carlson for allegedly endorsing Hunter Biden's version of events, accused him of suggesting Giuliani was acting as a foreign agent, and told Newsmax that Tucker “can go to hell.” Giuliani says he is “seriously considering” suing both Hunter Biden and Carlson, arguing that their comments damaged his reputation. Carlson's newer episodes continue to stir controversy on immigration and national security. Media Matters and The Young Turks highlight his recent interview with former Border Patrol official Greg Bovino, where Bovino claimed there are over 100 million undocumented immigrants in the United States and argued that so‑called “run‑of‑the‑mill” illegal immigrants are the real threat to the nation. Carlson framed the conversation as evidence that Trump has abandoned mass deportation promises and suggested the administration is betraying its base, a stance that has intensified criticism from pro‑Trump commentators and energized hardline immigration activists who see Carlson as articulating their grievances. Internationally, Middle East Eye and other outlets have amplified Carlson's high‑profile discussion with former CIA officer John Kiriakou about the influence of the Israel lobby, AIPAC's power, and incidents such as the 1967 attack on the USS Liberty. That conversation, along with his claims about Israeli involvement in the Hunter Biden laptop story, has provoked sharp reactions: critics accuse Carlson of flirting with antisemitic tropes, while his supporters say he is raising long‑taboo questions about U.S.–Israel relations and intelligence operations. Taken together, the latest developments show Carlson simultaneously broadening his media ventures through long‑form online shows and deepening his rift with Trump‑aligned Republicans. He is courting a more explicitly anti‑war, anti‑establishment audience, but at the cost of escalating feuds with Trump, Giuliani, and mainstream conservative outlets, and drawing renewed scrutiny over his role in shaping narratives on immigration, foreign policy, and the Hunter Biden saga.

Bill talks to journalist Gil Duran about his book, The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy, arguing that a tech-driven oligarchy already wields outsized power through figures like Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk, including political donations to Donald Trump and lucrative government contracts. Duran describes the rapid expansion of AI-fueled data centers as a visible flashpoint driving bipartisan local backlash over land use, water, pollution, and electricity costs. He focuses on Thiel's long-running anti-democratic worldview, influenced by Thiel-backed thinker Curtis Yarvin into mainstream politics, including “Freedom Cities.” Duran warns crypto has become a “weapon of mass corruption,” criticizes Washington's reluctance to confront these forces, and calls for public organizing, curbing billionaire power, and resistance movements targeting surveillance and contractors like Palantir and Flock.

Tucker Carlson has been at the center of a rapidly escalating feud inside the Republican Party, while continuing to push provocative themes on his podcast and in public appearances. In the last few days, the biggest storyline has been his clash with President Donald Trump and allied conservatives over Carlson's break with MAGA and his talk of building a new political movement. USA Today and The Hill report that Trump used a late‑night Truth Social post on August 21 to attack Carlson, along with Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep. Thomas Massie, calling them “THREE LOSERS,” branding Carlson “totally irrelevant” with “low IQ,” and suggesting he should be forced to take a cognitive test if he ever runs for office. Trump's anger was triggered by Carlson's recent meeting at his home in Maine with Greene, Massie, and Joe Kent to discuss a potential third‑party or anti‑Trump “movement,” and by Carlson's earlier comments that Trump is “totally disloyal” and effectively “cheated on the United States with a foreign power,” as highlighted in coverage of that meeting and a July interview. Conservative intellectuals are now attacking Carlson's third‑party project from the right. Ground News summarizes Victor Davis Hanson's criticism of Carlson's plan as “incoherent,” arguing that Carlson and his allies are driven by anti‑Trump animus and what Hanson describes as anti‑Semitic anger, underscoring how far Carlson has moved from his former place in the pro‑Trump media ecosystem. On his own show, Carlson has continued to pursue confrontational and often conspiratorial themes. DailyDossier and Podscripts describe his August 20 episode, “Whistleblower: Americans Are Being Murdered While Trump Does Nothing and the Media Cover‑up Grows,” in which he accuses the U.S. government of covering up the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty and claims U.S.-funded Israeli settlers are murdering American citizens in the West Bank while the Trump administration and the media look away. This line of argument has intensified criticism of Carlson's foreign‑policy stance, particularly regarding Israel. In parallel, World Israel News reports on a recent long interview Carlson conducted with Hunter Biden, where Carlson unexpectedly reversed some of his own past rhetoric. He now says the explosive allegation that Hunter Biden's laptop proved child sexual abuse came from a source “connected to Netanyahu” and that “the Israelis” were behind that false claim fed to his former Fox News program. The outlet notes he offered no corroborating evidence, but the interview marks a notable instance of Carlson partially walking back earlier, highly charged accusations while redirecting blame toward Israeli figures. Carlson has also drawn ridicule for more speculative commentary. SILive describes a widely shared clip from the Tucker Carlson Show in which he speculates that nuclear weapons were not actually created by humans and calls mainstream narratives, including the story told in the film Oppenheimer, “lies.” He ties this to a broader spiritual argument that believing we can destroy all life led humanity to “reject God,” a theory that has generated mockery and debate about his embrace of fringe ideas. Meanwhile, The Christian Post recently highlighted a more religiously themed conversation on his program with a pastor discussing “brokenness” and the Gospel, illustrating Carlson's continued interest in spiritual and cultural decline as core topics. Reactions from the broader right have been sharp. AOL reports that far‑right activist Laura Loomer blasted Carlson's mid‑August episode as “glorifying Osama bin Laden,” accusing him of promoting “brain rot” because he lamented that more young Americans haven't read Bin Laden's “letter to America” in full; her comments build on a long‑running feud over his criticism of Israel and U.S. Middle East policy. On another front, a recent Young Turks segment discusses investigative reporting indicating that the Trump administration's counterterror apparatus has privately labeled Carlson and Nick Fuentes as potential domestic‑terror threats under a new national security directive, reflecting how his anti‑Trump and anti‑war positions now put him at odds not only with the president but with the security establishment. Finally, Carlson has become a focal point in skirmishes among right‑wing media personalities. A recent YouTube segment notes Dan Bongino demanding that Carlson produce evidence for his claim that the Trump administration “shut down” the investigation into the 2024 attempted assassination of Trump, and Chris Cuomo using that dispute to criticize Bongino over his role in suppressing Epstein‑related information. These exchanges underline how Carlson's allegations about the Trump White House and deep‑state politics are now driving conflict across the conservative media landscape, not just between him and Trump but among his former allies.

Bill interviews California Rep. Jared Huffman about his book, “No Prophets: The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism,” defining Christian nationalism as the fusion of fundamentalist Christian identity with Republican politics and a false claim that the U.S. was founded as a Christian nation. Huffman argues MAGA Christian nationalism is more militant and openly theocratic than earlier movements, is deeply embedded in Congress, the Trump White House, and even the Pentagon, and uses ministries and “biblically sanctioned government” rhetoric to push policy. He describes January 6 as a “Christian coup” shaped by groups like the New Apostolic Reformation and says Liz Cheney removed the religious dimension from the J6 Committee's final report.

Bill welcomes back American Enterprise Institute emeritus scholar Norm Ornstein to assess Congress, Speaker Mike Johnson, and President Trump. Ornstein calls this the worst Congress ever, citing little constructive legislation beyond a Reconciliation bill that delays major Medicaid cuts until after the midterms, lack of oversight, and a Senate that offers only “rubber-stamp” consent, including confirming Todd Blanche as Attorney General. He argues Johnson is effectively “speaker of Donald Trump” and criticizes Democratic leaders for failing to project a coherent daily message despite strong individual members. Ornstein and Press discuss Republican senators backing Blanche despite Trump's attacks, which Ornstein attributes to moral cowardice and a party functioning like a cult. They also cover Trump's mishandling of Lincoln Memorial's Reflecting Pool repairs, no-bid contracting and bogus vandalism prosecutions, legal battles over Trump's White House construction projects, and Rand Paul's McCarthy-like pursuit of Anthony Fauci.Today Bill highlights the work of The Constitutional Accountability Center.

The ouster of Liz Cheney from her House leadership position for refusing to accept Trump's Big Election Lie is a frightening turning point in an already chaotic, political year. The GOP has abandoned all pretense of caring about democracy and has shackled itself to an insane, conspiracy driven, illiberal movement that threatens to destroy the party. This is all happening amidst an emboldened Trump who has triumphantly and aggressively shaped the party in his own image; purging any all dissent. The Young Turks' Cenk Uygur joins Mea Culpa to help Michael predict what will happen next.To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policyLearn more about your ad choices.

Bill previews four of the most competitive Senate races shaping midterm control, noting Democrats must hold their 47 seats and flip four GOP seats to retake the Senate. In Michigan, reporter Rick Pluta, Senior Capitol Correspondent for the Michigan Public Radio Network, describes a vicious, expensive Democratic primary between Rep. Haley Stevens and Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, with party unity concerns and GOP nominee Mike Rogers looming. In Ohio, Andrew Tobias, Political Reporter at Signal Ohio, says both sides are treating Sherrod Brown vs. appointed Sen. John Husted as a tipping-point Senate race, while the governor's contest pits Dr. Amy Acton against Vivek Ramaswamy amid heavy spending, plus a House scandal involving Rep. Max Miller. In Texas, Maria Recio of the Austin American Statesman, explains Ken Paxton's divisive nomination and polls showing Democrat James Talarico competitive, alongside new congressional maps.

Bill speaks with American Federation of Teachers President, Randi Weingarten about the political fallout from Republicans' “One Big, Beautiful Bill” ahead of the November midterms, noting a Politico poll showing most Americans haven't heard of it and many who have think it mainly helps the wealthy. Weingarten says July student-loan changes eliminated most prior income-driven repayment plans, raising payments by hundreds or thousands per year for many of the 44 million borrowers, with 3.6 million defaults since Trump returned to office. Now with higher interest, and more debt collection. She promotes the coalition-led One Big Bill Campaign (onebigbill.org) to collect borrowers' stories—such as a Philly school counselor whose payment rose from $90 to $440—and take them to Congress, linking the cuts to tax breaks for the rich alongside reductions to Medicaid and SNAP. They also discuss Trump's efforts to dismantle the Department of Education, voucher expansion, and pressure on universities over DEI and antisemitism claims.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bill welcomes former Wisconsin Democratic Party chair Ben Wikler to discuss his new book, "This Is the Plan: How to End America's Meltdown and Save Democracy," and Wisconsin's political arc from La Follette-era progressivism to Scott Walker's rollback and a comeback under Gov. Tony Evers. Wikler argues the most effective political work is grassroots, trust-based conversations that target persuadable and low-propensity voters, noting how tiny margins can decide outcomes. He contends Democrats must prioritize state-level races—governors, legislatures, attorneys general, secretaries of state, and especially elected state Supreme Courts—to set election rules and defend democracy against Trump-era threats. Wikler describes building a year-round “permanent campaign” infrastructure in Wisconsin and outlines a step-by-step roadmap from weekly local elections through 2026 battleground-state trifectas, advancing the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, and pursuing major federal democracy reforms in 2029.You can order your copy of Ben's great new book at Bookshop.org.

Bill frames current Democratic primaries as “establishment versus outsider,” citing races in New York City, Maine, and Michigan, and introduces Bernie Sanders' former strategist Tad Devine and his book, "How the Democrats Screwed Bernie." Devine recounts the first Sanders presidential planning meeting at Press's home, explains why Sanders ran to elevate issues like wages, healthcare for all, climate change, and campaign finance reform, and describes how Sanders' large email list fueled unprecedented small-dollar fundraising. Devine argues the 2016 nominating system—including superdelegates, limited debates, DNC coordination with the Clinton campaign, and a voter-file shutdown—was stacked against Sanders, and says Sanders would have beaten Donald Trump. Looking to 2026, Devine urges Democrats to let voters decide primaries, prioritize authenticity and economic issues, curb big-money influence, and mobilize to stop Trump.You can get your own copy of Tad Devine's book at Bookshop.org.Once again, Bill highlights the necessity of winning the midterms for Democrats to stop Donald Trump and his enablers.

Bill talks with Slate's Dahlia Lithwick about the Supreme Court's 2025–26 term, arguing it is decisively the Roberts Court and increasingly deferential to President Trump, especially through heavy reliance on the shadow docket, where Trump has won many emergency orders without signed opinions or reasoning. They discuss major rulings: a narrow outcome on birthright citizenship that Lithwick warns could be revisited; a decision granting broad presidential immunity; decisions expanding presidential power to fire heads of independent agencies; and immigration rulings allowing removal of Haitian and Syrian immigrants' Temporary Protected Status and restricting asylum. Lithwick also highlights Voting Rights Act and redistricting decisions, expanded campaign spending, and a tariffs loss for Trump tied to economic stability concerns. Press closes urging Democrats to win the Senate to block future Court appointments.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bill felt we all needed a break from Politics and so this Fourth of July edition of the Bill Press Pod features NPR's Scott Simon, discussing Simon's book, Ulysses S. Cat and Other Animals I Have Known, and his family's view that animals are members of the same family as humans. Simon shares stories about early pets like Penny the German shepherd and Hoppy the grasshopper, including how caring for Hoppy revealed his father's ingenuity during a difficult time. He also talks about current pets Daisy the French poodle and Gato Blanco, an oversized, opera-loving cat who frequently interrupts home interviews. Simon reflects on animals' roles in art and literature and recounts moving examples from covering Sarajevo and Hurricane Katrina where people risked danger or refused evacuation to protect their pets, leading to changed evacuation policies. Bill closes by previewing a Supreme Court discussion with Dahlia Lithwick next Tuesday.You can order Scott's new book at Bookshop.org.

Bill talks with political strategist and messaging consultant Anat Shenker-Osorio about what Democrats should say—and who should say it—heading into the midterms to check Trump 2.0. Shenker-Osorio argues Democrats must combine an affordability agenda with a clear villain frame, calling Trump's team “bullies for the billionaires,” and pair warnings about authoritarianism with credible promises to act as a real check, not just “shout fire.” She says corruption messaging is not automatically a Democratic advantage because many voters believe all politicians are corrupt, and criticizes party leaders like Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and Amy Klobuchar for ineffective communication. And the need for money has pols spending too much time on donor-driven “call time.” They discuss campaign “magnetism,” lessons from New York races and Zohran Mamdani's focus on concrete benefits, Jon Ossoff's anti-corruption appeal, backlash from James Carville, and the mixed calculus around Maine candidate Graham Platner's working-class message amid allegations about past behavior.Today Bill urges you to support Jon Ossoff by going to ACTBlue.com.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bill talks with national security analyst Joe Cirincione about Trump's shifting claims on Iran and argues the Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) functions as a ceasefire and “surrender document” after a war the U.S. and Israel could not win. Cirincione says the MOU mainly restores shipping through the Strait of Hormuz while leaving core U.S. objectives—curbing Iran's uranium enrichment and missile forces—unmet and deferred to talks, and he notes Trump's renewed threats violate the pledge to refrain from force or threats of force. He contrasts the deal with the JCPOA, the Obama Nuclear Deal, saying Trump lifts broader sanctions than the JCPOA, allows Iran to sell oil, and leaves Iran geopolitically stronger, with demonstrated leverage over the strait and Gulf economies. They discuss costs rising from Pentagon estimates to broader economic impacts, Netanyahu's (and Trump's) massive miscalculation and political fallout here and in Israel. Jared Kushner's role and conflicts, and broader alliance strains including NATO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Cenk Uygur is the CEO and founder of TYT (The Young Turks Network), host of The Young Turks — the first partner channel on YouTube — co-founder of the Justice Democrats, and bestselling author of Justice is Coming. Uygur launched The Young Turks in 2002 as Sirius Satellite Radio's first original talk show, before uploading their first video to YouTube in 2005. What began as an independent voice in political commentary grew into the longest-running daily online stream in history, consistently holding its position as the leading news and politics program for young, progressive viewers across the country and around the world. His television career includes hosting The Young Turks on Current TV, which became the most popular show on the channel during its entire two-year run. Prior to that, Uygur served as the host of MSNBC Live at 6pm ET, bringing his direct, unfiltered style of political analysis to one of the country's most prominent cable news platforms. Throughout his career he has appeared on some of the most recognized programs and outlets in media, including ABC News' This Week with George Stephanopoulos, NPR, Headline News, E!, Al Jazeera, Voice of America, WNYC's The Brian Lehrer Show, and Fox News Channel. Beyond the media, Uygur has been an active force in American politics. As a co-founder of the Justice Democrats, he helped build one of the most influential progressive political organizations in the country, dedicated to electing candidates who refuse corporate PAC money and represent working people over donor interests. Uygur is a graduate of the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia Law School — a background that informs his sharp, analytical approach to breaking down the intersection of money, power, and politics in America.
