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 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.

Ex-KKK Grand Wizard David Duke Explains How Jews Control Everything (Interview w/ Cenk Uygur)

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.

Karen Straughan is a self-styled "anti-feminist" and spokesperson for the group Men's Rights Edmonton. She has a popular blog (http://owningyourshit.blogspot.com) and YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/user/girlwriteswhat) where she talks about a range of gender-related issues, in particular fathers' rights and domestic violence against men. Watch the interview to see whether she and Cenk Uygur agree or disagree over issues like: - "Excessive" alimony and child support judgments against wealthy men in divorce proceedings. - Whether early feminists were more interested in gaining more privileges at the expense of men rather than true equality. - If circumcision of boys is equally bad as female genital mutilation. - If suffragettes were true heroes or if they were fighting for rights that they would have soon been granted anyway. Find out Karen Straughan's thoughts on all the above topics and much, much more in this installment of TYT Interviews.
