I got you an enumerated list of everything that governor granholm used to buy me every day so you know know what things are like around here, continuity and everything. Use nonwax saler sealer on my car. Michael what things were like brett. We will back. Well see you tuesday night. Welcome to the young turks. Weve got a wild show for you today. I think were going to have some fun. Weve got hagel on lockdown, the republicans filibustering chuck hagel. Im going to hit you and keep hitting you absolutely. Youre fought going to get away without answering basic questions. Like how much do you love israel, do you love it as much as i do. Im in a republican primary in South Carolina, thats why i keep hitting you. I know, i though. Theyre saying this is not techy a filibuster. Really . Weve got a conservative journalist in favor of of fracking on the show he tonight. These people are campaigning against fracking for natural gas. Im a journalist and wanted to find out if they were telling the truth. What could possibly go wrong . Excuse me, excuse me. Do you think its appropriate . Were watching him up against the the sierra club. Come on. Top of the morning to you. Then bill ny the science guy talking about whether an asteroid is going to wipe us out. Bill nye the science guy. The end of the earth . Hows that for fun . Dont worry were not all going to die but, it is, what is that is this go time theme cenk welcome to the young turks. A little while back, they had a deal on whether they were going to kill fill buster or not or at least reform it. Harry reid said i made a deal with mcconnell its going to be ok. The republicans arent going to filibuster. Dick durbin said at the time cenk positive environment, the republicans arent going to filibuster anymore. They got a deal, so we didnt have to take it away. What happened today when senator hagel, a republican up for secretary of defense . The republicans filibustered. On this vote, the aye58 the nays 40, one senator announced present. 50 of the senators not having voted in the affirmative, the motion is not agreed to. Cenk even though 58 senators say yes lets end the debate and confirm him nope, not going to end the debate, because the republicans filibustering. Now harry reid is shocked to find out that the republicans were not true to their word the republicans have made an unfortunate choice to up the level here in washington. Just when you thought things couldnt get worse, it gets worse. We need this vote today. Why . Times like this, its nice to have a secretary of defense. Cenk man, harry reid, oh, youre killing em youre killing em take it easy, brother. This is the guy who gave it away earlier, allowing them to filibuster in the first place. This is not any attempt to kill this nomination. This is not a filibuster. Cenk i got news for you, thats exactly what it is. Its literally a filibuster. Ok. So, all right thats exactly what it is. Now, theres one guy who loves grandstanding on this issue licensedry gram. He did it during the hearings and now here he is again. Know that the debate on chuck hagel is not over. It has not been serious. We dont have the information we need and i am going to fight the idea of jamming somebody through. Im going to hit you and keep hitting you. Youre not going to get away with not answering the basic questions. Cenk well its funny that he said the debate is not serious because hes the one that made it unserious. In fact, saturday night live had a whole ask it devoted to his questions about how much he loves israel and how hagel doesnt love it enough. Hagel is drinking the water and the guy being mocked is Lindsey Graham. You said, i quote the United States will always have an extremely close relationship with the state of israel. Thats not to say that in every single instance, our interests and those of israel will be identical. Now, i look you senator. I do. Your a good man but when i read that statement i thought to myself, is this a typo . Are my eyes deceiving me . Does he really think that our interests and those of israel could ever be different . Cenk all right these guys are hilarious. All right were going to bring in somebody who was there reporter for tribune l. A. Times Washington Bureau reporter, michael memole. Why do the republicans claim this is not a fill buster. They were at pains today to say that theyre being the reasonable ones, that this is not a fill buster. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, its a filibuster. As they said, this is only the third time a cabinet nominee has ever been filibustered, but first time that faced a vote and failed. This is the first time after the socalled filibuster reforms. What the republicans are saying is that theyre trying to sound reasonable, this is just a standard delay. We dont want this vote to be rushed. We just had this nomination reported out of the Senate Armed Services Committee Tuesday just two days. Give us 10 days, give us the entire recess coming up and when we come back, you know, all the questions that we have that are outstanding, theyll potentially be answered. The other senators are not on the Armed Services committee. Theyll have time to digest hagels resume, the piece of disclosure that theyre looking for. Senator gram and senator mccain voted no today for closure but they promised barring some short of bombshell announcement, teal continue on the 20ation after the break. If youre the white house youre probably understandably nervous, because their argument has been that republicans are trying to needlessly string this out in the hopes of coming up with what Lindsey Graham says he doesnt have, a bombshell were facing a situation where leon panetta who flew to california today, he thought advertise tenure was over and might ever to fly to brussels next week to attended this defense ministers meeting on the very serious subject of afghanistan because the president cant get his pick confirmed. Cenk they say its not a fill buster. If thats the case, you only need 50 votes to confirm him so lets call him confirmed. I know it was a vote on closing the debate, but its absurd, because its quite literally what it is you. Made a really interesting point. First time that its a successful fill buster of a cabinet nominee in history of the United States of america so lets talk about the real reasons the republicans are doing this. I mean come on. I mean, how many cases have there been that people get confirmed within two days, a million, right . What are they trying to do here . As you pointed out, is it to try to find some sort of secret bombshell, theres this goofy thing about how he had gotten support from friends of hamas and it turns out there is no such group. What are they waiting for no what do they think theyre going to get. Thats a very good question. The senator republicans had a closed door session today. When members started coming out we would ask them sort of the standard questions, are you going to vote yes or no on culture and where do things stand in the room. The standard response from most of these senators, i still have questions, there are still things that some of my colleagues are looking for some elements of disclosure on his finances, speech they say say are just coming to light which they may be able to look at how to. In some cases you would ask what are those questions. In one case, a senator couldnt quite think of what he was waiting for. Really, this was an effort the Republican Leadership told senator harry reids office last night that were withholding the vote you need to invoke, because were in tent on pushing this until after the recess. Its really sort of a strange situation. You have senator Lindsey Graham, first he said i wont allow you a vote until leon panetta testifies about what happened in benghazi. Panetta testified. Then it was we want to hear from secretary clinton. Senator clinton did testify. Then it was a request put out to the white house tuesday asking for specific information about where the president was and was doing on september 11, 2012 after the raid in benghazi. Now, the white house pointed out that all this information is public record, that as this was happening in realtime, we were learning about secretary clinton at the secretarys request was speaking to labor yes. The following day the president himself called the president of libya. Senators were still insisting that the white house put to them in writing this very same question. They got that this morning. They said their concerns are satisfied. As we know, there are other senators looking for more information. Cenk one last thing here. Look, you know first of all hagel has nothing to do with benghazi. He wasnt in the government. Its abstored begin with on that note. Again, i look for whats their real motivation, now, one thing which is what they say then theres a second thing, what theyre waiting for some sort of problem for hagel. Why do they not like hagel in the first place. Is there main complaint we are not sure this guy is going to push the button and go to war with iran . Is that the issue. Senator mccain did an interview with Fox News Channel after the vote and pointed out that senator hagel in 2008, when barack obama was facing him in the nomination gave him cover in a sense, that he was out on this foreign trip with him sort of passively supporting his candidacy. Mccain didnt go so far as to say this, but he pointed out thatten obsign iraq and that campaign, that he wasnt on our side. The other point is senator graham was right quite frank on this, we know hagel has nothing to do with benghazi, but this is the only leverage we have, this is the way the game is played. Were trying to leverage this situation to get more questions acknowledged about benghazi from the white house as the white house pointed out they already answered. Cenk Lindsey Graham is grandstanding because he that a primary coming up in South Carolina and wants to seem tough on the president. Senator reid made that point is this really where were at that you need that sort of badge on your resume to fend off a tea party challenge. I raised that quote to senator graham. He said if this was a nominee from a republican president , he would be doing exactly the same thing. He said i was part of that gang of 14 on previous nomination battles and he said that, you know, this is im actually thinking this is a reasonable position just to have the 10 day delay, but we cant rush this thing. Cenk by the way we know for a fact reid wouldnt have done the same thing because no one has ever done a successful fill buster of a nominee ever before in history. Michael, great reporting from the capitol, we really appreciate it. All right thanks. Cenk all right. So when we come back, an asteroid might hit the earth and we might all die. Its the size of texas. [ crashing ] its not quite armageddon, but it is massive brightening and getting closer by the hour. Guys that do reverse mortgage commercials . Those types are coming on to me all the time now. vo she gets the comedians laughing and the thinkers thinking. Ok, so theres wiggle room in the ten commandments, thats what youre saying. You would rather deal with ahmadinejad than me. Absolutely. And so would mitt romney. vo shes joy behar. And the best part is that current will let me say anything. What the hell were they thinking . For true stories. With Award Winning documentaries that take you inside the headlines. Real, gripping, current. Documentaries. On current tv. Welcome back to the young turks. Df14 is an asteroid weighing 130,000 metric tons, and its headed in our direction. Watch out its the size of texas. Pie god its not quite armageddon, but it is massive frightening and getting closer by the hour. Its named d. A. 14 and weighed 130,000 metric tons, more than a cruise ship. If that doesnt impress you its half the side of a football field and whizzing through space eight times faster than a bullet fired from a gun. This animation made by scientists tracking it shows it will come within 17,000 miles of the earth tomorrow, an astro momically close shave worthy of star wars. Cenk so, which organization discovered this asteroid and how scary it is . Its the organization of this guy. How are you doing . Theres no place a man would rather be . Than rebel headquarters, you got that right, my friend. Also c. E. O. Of the Planetary Society. Bill are we all going to die . No. Well yes as far as anybody knows, were all going to die. Its troubling but that seems to be the case. With that said, an asteroid like this could kill a lot of people. This one flew as 45 meters what did you say 130 tons. Cenk 130,000 metric tons. This one is one of many, many about 100,000 objects like this. We track about 1 of they will. Theres 99 more out there. Did you ever hear of the tunduska event. Cenk 1908, siberia. Tell me more. A lot of people dont know about it. This rock comes into the earths atmosphere, blows down trees, 2,000 square kill meters, bang blows them all down like that, in a flash. Did you ever hear this expression, dont jump off the golden gate bridge, when you hit the water, it will kill you just like concrete. When youre an asteroid going 25,000 kill low meters an hour, 15 per second, you hit the earths atmosphere, it stops you dead, and you exemployed if youre an asteroid, and blow down everything, but the shock wave. This thing was about 20 hiroshimas. People would look at as strayeds different had it hit a populated area. Cenk like paris. It would have been one of the greatest events in human history. It would of been like pompeii, the whole town buried by a volcano. It would be a catastrophe. We are the first generation of humans that can do something about it. How cool is that . Cenk that is seriously cool. How would we do something about it . Lasers . We at the Planetary Society we fund these kookie projects, 30,000 people around the world think its cool, please join us, planetary. Org, a little plug. What we would do, one of our other projects at the planetary site, what we would do is maybe send out a flotilla of spacecraft. Cenk no with solar panels, soak up the sunlight, make laser beams. [ buzzing ] and cause the surface of the asteroid to evaporate. Its kind of a cool thing we are messing with. Cenk excuse me pie sophisticated question. Really . We dont have that capability now, do we . Well, in a sense we do. In other words, if people went to the moon in 10 years, we could certainly do this kind of thing in 10 years, but the trick, the big idea to get, when you go to deflect an asteroid, if you ever decide to go in this business. Yeah, of course. All you want to do is change its speed ever so slightly. This asteroid, 2012d. A. 14 is missing us by about 15 minutes. 15 minutes, and paris tokyo new york, los angeles would be oklahoma city. Let me stop you there. I want to know what you mean by 15 minutes if it was what, 15 minutes quicker slower. If it had gotten here 15 minutes earlier it would have hit us. Cenk because everythings moving in space because everybody thinks of like the earth is right here. The earth is orbiting the sun, this thing is orbiting the sun out of the plane of the earths orbit by a little bit. Tomorrow friday, happy valentines day, by the way. Cenk you too. This asteroid will come up from the south pass indonesia. The earth will turn and the gulf stone observatory will point at it. 15 minutes earlier and it would hit us. Cenk thats amazing. Theres this oh 1 of these objects that we know about and these are city killers. There are other bigger objects that are how to say civillation killers. Cenk in a sense theyre almost like loose nooks. Here were scared to death of loose nooks but these are loose nooks times 20. A cosmic shooting gallery. Cenk how do we find out about the other 99 funding . Funding would be great. The Planetary Society has gotten people that are in a niche theyve gotten really good as looking for these socalled fast moving objects. The trouble with these things is, theyre not very big and theyre dark as charcoal and theyre zipping theyre going really fast. To find them is quite difficult. We are working with the foundation, we hope to partner with them. Theyre trying to build a spacecraft that would look on you from about the orbit of venus, 70 of the distance from the sun to here, and they would be tuned to look for the in from infrared. They look reflective. Cenk you are talking about civillation. Its alarming enough, go ahead it not just destroy the entire planet . Oh, yeah, welcome to my world, and these things hit every one goes by about every 40 years estimated but one hits three times that, 120 1200. Cenk we had a huge one hit in 1908 about 120 years. There was one over the amazon. Theres nobody around. The documentation is pretty good. In this instance, these things disintegrate in midair, but thats only when theyre this, if i can use the term, small. As big as this building. The last few times we got lucky, because the middle of the siberia and jungle in amazon, the third time, are we going to get lucky again. The ancient dinosaurs did nothing about this problem. You know, ive always had a beef with the dinosaurs, and thats it . Ive never had dinosaur. It tastes like chicken. The thing of it is, that rock understands the dinosaur or the cluster of rocks or the commentary, the comet like material, whatever it was, hit the earth shot stuff halfway to the moon. The explosion the ejecta, the stuff tossed, ejected the time at her was bigger than the diameter of the earth, so the stuff by gavety got pulled around by earth and set the whole place on fire. This is a serious thing right . People say why doesnt nasa do something about it, and there are cool old political reasons. First of all, it wasnt part of nasas charter it wasnt human space flight or science its just cataloging objects that are scientifically understood, blah blah blah blah. We work hard to raise awareness of this, and so oh, we are maybe getting there. Cenk how much money do you think is needed to catalog it . Its a great question. Theres two things we do wrong as c. E. O. Of a nonprofit. We dont ask for money and then we dont ask for enough. Cenk so fix it right now. Dont be like a down sore, fix it. We can approach the problem in two ways, first to get the sentinel spacecraft flying, thats about 450 million. Then between now and when that could possibly happen, its about that much money and then after that, to go deflect one its about that much money. Cenk were talking about a billion. 1. 5 billion. Its what the curious city rover cost. We might find something on mars that might dare i say it, change the world. Cenk bush said lets go drill on mars, its because Hall Halle Halliburton was ready to drill. Cenk they want platinum. Im not kitting it could be another convergence of commercial interest and exploration, and citizenry worldwide working together to save the world. Cenk all right. Sounds great. Bill nye the science guy. We appreciate it. When we come back, well ever a conservative journalist on fracking. He said its awesome. Im putting words in his mouth. Hes going to tell you right now, hes in the studio. Very interesting conversation, when we come back. Irene, drop the itch. We dropped the itch, you can too. Maximum strength scalpicin® is not a shampoo so you can stop intense itch fast, wherever you are. I dropped the itch. Drop the itch with scalpicin®. Cenk all right, were back on the young turks. Everybody remember this had famous scene a documentary about fracking where the sink catches on fire. Look. What took Mother Nature millions of years to build can be destroyed in a few hours with a piece of heavy machinery. What its doing is searching for a problem that does not exist. Whoa. Cenk well, you know what . Theres someone who is what i describe as a conservative journalist, well describe him in a second, he decided that was bogus. He made a movie called frack nation that counters a lot of whats in there. These people are campaigns against fracking for natural gas. I wanted to find out if they were telling the truth. What could possibly go wrong . Excuse me. Excuse me. You think its appropriate. Ok, thats it. You need to get out of here. Im sick and tired of this. I am armed. You are armed . All right fascinating movie. Well, the directors right here. Phil, thank you for joining us. So talk to me about frack nation. Do you think that are you trying to prove in this movie that fracking is awesome and we should all just calm down . No, im trying to put it under a journalistic light. I wanted to see where the science was and jumblism was. Theres people lighting their taps on fire and saying theres weapons grade uranium in my water. Whats the truth behind the pictures . The lighting the tap wore, people have been lighting their tap water in america for hundreds of thousands of years. Cenk i did it the other day its fun. Youre saying its methane. Indians called them burning springs, because the springs burned. Cenk i see. You seem to have a bone to pitch with john fox who directed gas land. Meet josh fox. In his documentary gas land, he told america that fracking for natural gas milwaukee your water flammable, but this is not true. Americans have had gas in their water forever. Kids used to run to school to turn on taps to light the water in the morning before horizontal drilling was dreamed of. My grandfather drilled a well in 1945. The day i drilled the well, there was methane. Cenk have you ever arm wrestled john fox. Is there a way to settle this . Ive asked him for interviews and had doors slammed in my face. Ive had cops called. Ive had he hung up on me. He has to answer some very serious questions. There are people saying we could light our tap water decades before it started. Josh fox knew that. He told me in a q. And a. , i knew about it, but chose not to include it in gas land because it wasnt relevant. Cenk does every journalist have to wear a hot like that, or only you and josh. If only i was half as successful. Cenk the only issue isnt whether the water lights on fire or not. The chief of staff at the sierra club is going to help us understand the big picture. Jesse, what are other issues about fracking that youd like film to address . So heres the thing. Natural gas is another dirty dangerous fossil fuel. Thats the thing we all have to understand. We dont need it. We dont want it, and we cant afford it. Thats the starting place here. Were the sierra club and we have communities from all over the country coming to us and saying our community is being poisoned by fracking. Our kids are being made sick by fracking. Our land prices are being impacted by fracking, our ranches and our farms. This is not something that is safe. If it was safe, why are the natural gas lobbyists spending so much money to ask for exemptions from the state Drinking Water act . Why are they spending so much money fighting to disclose the chemicals that are inside those frack wells. Cenk let me stop you there for a second, because those are a lot of good questions there and im curious to your answerses to them. Because a Community Says their waters poisoned doesnt mean its true. In pennsylvania, everyone said their water was poisoned. 11 families had said their water was poisoned. Cenk its one example. I can give you another. Cenk go ahead jesse. I can give you another example. In wyoming pavilion, the e. P. A. , because of citizen complaints came in and studied the water and found that in deed, it was being contaminated by fracking. They found methane etha in my e. They found diesel. This is poison, and its in the water. Cenk so let me back that up . So it has happened in places. Theyve now withdrawn that claim and are going back for further examination. They have pulled back on that. The science is not settled on pavilion wyoming. The science is settled every else. Cenk heres my problem. On climate change, to. When you say the science is not settled, thats a big red flag that it is settled and you guys lost it. Ok . 97 of the world Scientists Say yes, it fists and its man made, oh, its not settled. Lisa jackson went to congress twice and said the e. P. A. Does not know of any instance where the ground water has been affected. There are a lot of claims and lucrative lawsuits out there a lot of people looking to make money off of oil and gas saying the water is contaminated. No evidence yet. I think perhaps in this case, and i recognize that i use that phrase, the science is settled. Cenk let me ask you that one more time. The science is settled, it is happening out there. Wells are being poll looted by methane, water is being contaminated. The spills from the trucks that theyre taking the water away from the frack silent are definitely spilling. Youve got water being dumped into rivers at the end of the process through the sewage systems. The science is settled that this is extremely dangerous and while dangerous, we must not do it. If it wasnt so dangerous i come back to why wont Gas Companies tell us whats in the why did they spend so much money fighting disclosure, why did they spend so much money getting exemptions prom the state water drinking act. Cenk thats a great question, the same question i had. They do tell what you is in the fracking fluid. Its like cocacola they own tell you because its afraid secret. Cenk they dont tell you. They dont tell you the portions like cocacola. They wont tell you whats in it either, cenk. Cenk ive read article after article saying they will not disclose whats in it. Sometimes the media gets things wrong. Its not true. You can research that. They do tell you whats in there, they just wont tell you the portions. Cenk in my reading of the articles and ive read a lot on that particular issue that is not the case. They dont tell you. And often tiles our government protects them and they exempt them from regulations, which then makes me think. You are not going to convince me telling me barack obama voted for it. He is no progressive. Ive got to leave it there. Thank you so much, guys. Happy valentines day. Cenk you too. Rocky anderson ran for approximate the. He didnt win and hes going to tell us why not when we come back. Cenk Rocky Anderson was one of the most progressive politicians in the country the mayor of salt lake city, nonetheless still impressive. He decided to run for president in 2012. He was the head of the justice party. He did not make it. He is with us here, did make it back to the young turks. Great to have you back with us. Let me start with that first question, what went wrong why didnt you win . I dont think anyone went wrong. Gentlemen intend to win. Cenk maybe that was the problem. We did everything we could to get out the word, help race consciousness. The point is not that the electoral system is going to solve this countries problems, because if thats what were waiting for, its not going to happen. The gilded age is going to get more and more gilded. We are going to be violating civil rights to an extent never before seen in this country without a popular movement, and thats what this campaign was all about. Cenk i know, let me talk to you about that. When we had you on the young turks before the election a couple of times you hoped with the arab spring, the social media, why didnt it catch fire. I still have the same hope. Its all part and parcel of the same thing building a popular movement. If we had a sustained Movement Like with the arab spring, with the civil rights movement, the Labor Movement, the womens suffrage movement, if people would get away from their Television Sets for a wail. Cenk how dare you. Theyll be informed, but then get out and take action, otherwise and mobilize. Like joe hill said before he was executed, the great labor organizer, dont mourn organize. The point is, we all have to be engaged citizens. We need if were upset about the destruction of our Constitutional Republic where we have a president and a congress who seem to think its ok to add u. S. Citizens to assassination lists, and take not only them out, but their 16yearold sons who are also u. S. Citizens, if they think that its ok that we send drones over, you know, president obama ther night in the state of the union got this great applause for saying were finally bringing our troops back home. He didnt say anything about the fact that were continuing the drone war program, the killings of thousands of people, many of the vast majority of them innocent civilians men women and children creating so much more hatred toward the United States. Cenk i think youre absolutely right about that. We talk about it on the young turks all the time. The problem is in my experience, people dont actually take to the streets unless it concerns them. When you talk about the Drone Program, it rates anywhere between 83 to 55 depending on how you ask the question, but its very popular. Why . Because theyre not the ones getting droned. In vietnam there were huge protester because people were going to go to vietnam and die. They didnt want to do that. The Labor Movement affected how people feed their family. The civil rights Movement Affected africanamericans and people in the country. Whats it going to take for action in this country . First of all, the Drone Program will affect every one of us and generations to come, because we are generating so much more hatred and hostility toward the United States. Lets look at another thing that president obama talked about the other night. Hes talking about raising the minimum wage to 9 an hour by the year 2000 fennel, when five years ago, he promised that he would push for an increase in the minimum wage to nine and a half dollars by two years ago. So whats happened . Weve seen since 1968, a decrease by 30 , 30 Million People making about 50 less now when adjusted for inflation when c. E. O. Compensation averages more than 900 more. That impacts every single one of us. When the minimum wage was raised wed have 30 billion more a year in Consumer Spending creating more jobs, a more thriving middle class like we saw in this country for 35 years. Cenk youre right on the policies. If we continued minimum wage, kept up with inflation it would be 10. 55 and in you we have a president bragging for asking for 9. Write right now, to that point though, do you think the president just thinks i cant get anything done, i have to keep lowering my expectations and thats the problem with the president or do you think hes in on it and doesnt want the minimum wage to be that much higher. Hes in on it. We know he is part of the corporate plerocrcy. Hasnt prosecuted any of them that hurt so many millions of americans, millions of people around the world from the meltdown, because of that gross criminality. Wouldnt it have been great the other night to hear the president of the United States advocating for our interests and saying that were going to break up the banks that are considered too big to fail . He wont take them on. He wont stand up for our interests. Cenk thats a fact. We as americans demand that our government serve our interests rather than having a government thats up for sale to the highest bidder. Cenk if you like president obama, you can argue a lot of things, but you cant argue that he was tough on the banks. He let every one of the executives off theres no question about that. Stick around. I want to ask you how you can fight the republican and Democratic Party at the same time and win when we come back. The chill of peppermint. The rich dark chocolate. York peppermint pattie get the sensation. Cenk were back on the young turks talking to Rocky Anderson, ran for president in 2012, mayor of salt lake city, utah. We were talking about electoral politics. Youre fighting the republican and Democratic Party at the same time. Tell me specifically whats the pathway to victory what happens next so that we can actually win on issues that progressives care are about and the great majority of Americans Care about. You know, when Teddy Roosevelt ran as a progressive candidate, third party candidate, almost everything he campaigned on ended up being implemented as public policy. I call that a win. Ross perot was talking about deficits and need for balanced budget and brought those issues to the attention of the American People when neither of the Major Political parties were talking about it, and he won in very large part in essence. Thats what this really is all about. Cenk youre saying public pressure, but how, social media people in the streets labor strikes . How do you do it . Its all of it. You asked about drone strikes what will make the people care . Images on our media will make people care. When they just hear these figures, theres a psychic numbing that goes on that is so abstract to them. That if they saw images of what were doing around the world and so how do we bring the pressure to bear . Absolutely take to the streets. Martin luther king jr. Was told by in the johnson forget about the Voting Rights act this country isnt ready for it. King went back to selma people came together, the whole country rose up together, it wasnt a majority of the people, but enough, people made it clear they werent going to go away and within months, the Voting Rights act was passed. We can do it as engaged americans, but its not through complacency and 166 its organizing and mobilizing and all of us coming together. It doesnt have to be under a partisan political party. Cenk rocky, i got to ask you one last question here. Thats on the issue of gun control. Everybody praised the president for strong words he during the state of the union. You dont agree with that why . What did he call for . He took on this sort of preacher persona, and then he played one of the great rhetorical trickion of all time. He never advocated for any particular solution. He kept saying they deserve a vote. They deserve a vote, kept repeating that. He talked about process. He didnt make the case for the kinds of legislative changes that we need in this country and thats just a reflection of how first of all sly he can be but ungrievably timid he is and the lack of leadership weve seen from this president. It was very disappointing. Cenk you cant argue. He did say he wants a vote. He didnt even say he wants to win a vote. Its at least very low expectations. Fighting the good fight thanks for joining us. Well be back with one final point
