Well see you back here monday. The young turks are next. Welcome to the young turks, everybody. Today, the white house responds. Senator its literally three sentences long and he says that the answer to your question about can americans be killed on u. S. Soil, and the answer is no. Are you satisfied . Well tell you thats called a tease all right also, interact. We had apparently death squads and torture skills tied to general petraeus. The man on his left is his clip rater, colonel James Coffman. He reported directly to general David Petraeus who funded this Police Commando force from a multibillion dollars fund. Thats an Amazing Store from the guardian and bbc. Dont miss that. Rick scott with an epic flipflop on obamacare. Your decision on medicaid is called a classic bait and switch. I thought to make sure we did the right thing. Oh, gosh, weve got a tea party guest furious with scott on the show today. Hows that for fun . Anybody know what time it is, oh, you know it, its go time. Cenk so yesterday, of course, we had a bit have a filibuster by rand paul, only 13 hours or so, and it was over the nomination of john brennan. After about 13 hours, rand paul said well, you know, ive run into a bit of an issue here. Basically every had to go to the bathroom, so he ended the filibuster. Did he prove his point get what he wanted . First of all was john brennan affirmed . Totally. Ayes are 63, the nays 34. The nomination is concerned. 6334 only three democrats two departments and an independent voted with the republicans to deny brennan the nomination but they were not successful. Brennan will be the new head of the c. I. A. And continue drone strikes that kill people we have no idea were killing signature strikes where we dont know the identity of people we are killing. Double taps that would kill First Responders and detaining a citizen without a trial. If you think brennans on your side, it depends what side youre on. Senator Patrick Leahy said cenk now, understand that what hes saying is that the administration has secret law. In a democracy that should be abhorrent, unacceptable. Lay he is saying you cant have secret law used to execute u. S. Citizens and we cant even check in on that law. The question rand paul focused on was can you kill u. S. Citizens on u. S. So i am without a trial and guess what . Attorney general eric holder came in and said you know what, it seemed we were saying you could, but all of a sudden, not so much. He says cenk that was not an additional question, that was the core question. He put in a couple of qualifiers there to have wiggle room as an attorney, of course be so they probably can kill u. S. Citizens on u. S. Soil under different circumstances. Rand paul when asking about it seem somewhat satisfied with the answer. Are you satisfied . Im quite happy with the answer. Im disappointed it took a month and a half and root canal to get it. Thats what ive been asking all along. Cenk lets bring in a couple of experts, Andrew Kirell and colonel morris davis was chief prosecutor at gitmo restored with 25 Years Service with the air force and assistant professor at howard law school. Great to have you both here. So andrew, let me actually start with you on this. So did rand paul get the answer that he was looking for and in that sense was the filibuster effective . Well, he says he got the answer hes looking for. He was on fox and i think megan kelley read the answer. He said hooray, this is the answer i wanted. As you said in the intro this is a lot of legalese in the letter that makes it clear there are going to be circumstances he can use the drone strikes is there a nonweaponnized drone strike, there is wiggle room. It was a massive jet is it your, the entire filibuster was a great way to bring attention to this issue. In effect, that will keep obama accountable for a little longer, and future president s. Cenk colonel davis youre of course the lawyer, the chief prosecutor at gitmo eric holder gave the answer we just quoted there in terms of what they could do with a drone strike in a noncombat situation in the sufficient. The day before, he said this cenk so, what is the answer that the administration is giving no can they use drones to kill u. S. Citizens on u. S. Soil or can they not given those two different answers . I dont think we can afford to sit back and just say the attorney general has acknowledged the question for the administration. If you recall back during libya with the war powers act the administration shopped around and the Justice Department didnt give the answer they wanted. The Defense Department didnt give the answer they wanted. They went to the state department to get harold cove to let them circumvent the war powers act. Just because the attorney general has said no to drone strikes, thats not binding on the president. I would feel much better hearing it from the commanderinchief himself. Cenk you know, of course, he doesnt do that. In fact, he almost never gets asked about it by the press. He got asked in a google hangout once, which is kind of funny. Heres another spokesperson trying to clarify it, jay carney. Lets see if he clarifies it any further. The president has not and would not use drone strikes on american citizens on american sail. The issue isnt the technology. The method does not change the law. Cenk is that a sufficient answer andrew . By the way, does it make it that much of a difference if they can execute u. S. Citizens abroad. Is it any better to execute you when you go to vacation in london, instead of here in the u. S. . Thats a key a very important point to make, is that i think the fight that rand paul didnt focus on enough is this had is not just about striking on u. S. Soil. I think he may be outside of the United States, but its not just ok when its outside of the soil. Theres american citizens who deserve a trial especially a 16yearold, the son that associated with no one that happened to be terrorist. Effectively, he was saying no, president obama has never used drone strikes on america which is not answering the question, really. Its frustrating, but at the same time, you know. Cenk right now colonel davis the thing that gets me is when people say all the time in defending president obamas drone strikes and use the republicans defense of bush using similar actions saying what are you doing defending terrorists. Isnt the question how do we know theyre terrorists . Yeah, i mean, just taking the president s word for it, which he told us during the state of the union dont just take my word for it is a bit of a stretch. Youre right if you look at the, particularly, using the signature strikes, we dont even know exactly who were killing. It just looks like theyre doing something suspicious and thats enough to launch an attack. You know, cenk, they tell you as you get older you get more sentimental. Theres been two occasions in the last several weeks i got a lurch in my throat. When the lady stood up in the brennan hearing it made me question by i dont have that courage. Then rand paul doing an oldfashioned filibuster to call attention to this issue. I mean, it gives me hope that theres still some courage out there to stand up for liberty. Cenk yeah, i people the same way about rand pauls filibuster, for which ive gotten a lot of heat from democrats. A lot of them did not show up for that filibuster. Some republicans angry at rand paul for doing the filibuster, including lindsey graham. To my republican colleagues, i dont remember any of you coming down here suggesting that president bush was going to kill anybody with a drone. I dont even remember the harshest critics of president bush on the democratic side. They had a drama over him back then. What is it all of a sudden that this Drone Program has gotten every republican so spun up . What are we up to here . People are astonished that president obama senator mccain are doing the same things president bush did. Im not os stan issued. I congratulate him for having the good judgment to understand that were at war. Cenk heres a republican who is supposed to be a lawyer, by the way, and served at one in the armed forces, saying whether bush or obama you just have to trust the executive that hes got the right guy and if were at war, he can execute anyone he likes. Is that disappointing whether coming from a democratic or a republican . Oh, yeah. You should never put faith in a politician to be jury, judge or executioner. Even though obama is charismatic, im not a fan of his, but i know a lot of people who are. Graham and mccain, should web surprised that graham is the guy who in 2011 during the debates over indefinite detention said if theres a suspected american suspected of terrorism who asks for a lawyer, you say shut up, youre an enemy combatant. Mccain has never seen a war he doesnt like. These are two that are going to love the expansion of executive authority. He was right in the sense that democrats didnt speak up during bush because bush in 2002 killed an american citizen with a drone strike. Nobody really spoke up about it. I think probably rand paul was the only guy who cared about it at the time. Cenk the upside is, guys, we have conservatives liberals and libertarians agreeing for the first time in a long time, and real bipartisan agreement here in opposition to both the bush and Obama Administration in protecting the constitution. Thats a good moment, at least. On drew, and certainly davis thank you so much for joining us, really appreciate it. Thank you. Sure. Cenk now when we come back, unfortunately more disastrous news from the war we had in iraq. Turns out was we knew there were death squads and torture skills. We may have been coordinating with them all the way up to an including general petraeus. This is the only known video of steele, a shadowy figure, always in the background, observing, evaluating. The man on his left is colonel James Coffman his collaborator. Billy zane stars in barabbas. Coming in march to reelz. To find reelz in your area, go to reelz.

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 . Cenk were back on the young turks. The guardian and bbcar abic collaborated on a 15 month collaboration on death squads and torture cells in iraq. James steele and James Coffman were certainly aware of what was happening and seemed to condone it. Some of that had was tied all the way up to general petraeus. Let me show you a documentary called james steele, americas mystery man in iraq. This is one of the great Untold Stories of the iraq war how just over a year after the invasion, the United States funded Police Commando force that set up a network of torture centers to fight the insurgents. This is also the story of james steele the veteran of americas dirty war in el salvador. He was chosen by the Bush Administration to work with general David Petraeus to organize these Paramilitary Police commanders. Cenk the carnage was devastating. In el salvador, 75,000 people had been killed when we set up the right wing death squads. In iraq, 110,000 killed. Its not like this guy is effective. Hes horribly ineffective as he starts civil war after civil war. One of the iraqi generals on the ground said each one referring to these Detention Centers was made up of an intelligence officer. This committee confess like using electricity or hangling him jump side down. More from the documentary. I see blood everywhere. There were these terrible screams, somebody shouting allah, allah. It wasnt religious ecstasy. These were screams of pain and terror. Cenk its not just the journalists, u. S. Troops witnessed it. The 69th armored soldier said cenk all right now let me bring in one of the reporters from the guardian who worked on this piece now a journalist for the center for investigative reporting. Great to have you with us on the young turks. Hey cenk, how are you . Cenk good, james steel was involved with the contras and right wingers including rumsfeld think he is a hero. Why do they think that and what does he actually do . This man has had a fascinating career. We looked at where he started his military career. He started with a recon unit in vietnam. From there he quickly excelled and was deployed in el salvador as head of the military group commander, in charge of all the Counter Insurgency units that we went in and helped train in el salvador during their civil war there, wimp as we know now was incredibly bloody. Youll see in the documentary that cheney, during his 2004 Vice President ial debate with edwards references that war as a success and says the lines, you know, what were doing in iraq now we did in el salvador 20 years ago and made sure we trained local Police Forces and units and they can get their problems under control and we did a great job there. By all accounts, steeles stint in el salvador was seen as a success. During that time, he got involved in the irancontra scandal, referenced in ollie norths diary. He reached a setback at this point, but then, a few years later, ends up in panama, head of south com and ends up being in charge of forces there when we depose the leader of panama in the early 1990s. He ended up working as an energy cant enron chesapeake energy, and then we see him back again. He becomes a coin goto guy in iraq. If you watch the film, youll see rumsfeld and wolfe wits speak highly of him publicly and rumsfeld, some of the stuff we got from his own website where he talked about what a great job steele is doing and how he moves in and out of countries from time to time keeping an eye on things. Cenk they have a curious standard for success. Is it that dick cheney thinks that ok, i dont care about the 75,000 dead in el salvador, finally, weve got a right wing government and its stabilize so here cares about the dead, same thing in iraq, or is this chaos somehow part of the plan . I mean, why do they celebrate it . Why take a guy that you know started a civil war in el salvador and had all those People Killed and bring him to iraq . Do they want him to do that . I think we forget that at the time in 2004, 2005, theres an election going on, and we had just handed over to the iraqis after our win there and we had a police force and an army to train. People forget that thats actually the first thing that petraeus was actually put in charge of really in iraq was c pat and c mat the military and police retaining. Obviously petraeus is a coin guy. Hes about Counter Insurgency, so there, you know, the ministry of interior was kind of the hub of all this, where the special police units were based out of. They were highly trained squads. They werent, you know, the normal foot soldiers and police. It was kind of they were having to deal with in 2004. These were highly trained guys there before sadaam and after sadaam. They needed these guys to take control. It was a lets take control policy that came about. That comes through in the cabled and logs that we look at, and even rumsfelds memos. Cenk its bizarre because they didnt really take control, they had a tremendous chaos if the time that they were there. I dont know that they got lucky at the end and it stablized or thats what they do, blood letting, kill hundreds of thousands of people and say aha we won. You quote a medic based in is samara cenk so, now these soldiers on the ground, obviously know, but do you know that colonel steele and colonel coffman were aware of this clear torture that was happening, and are you sure that theyre connected to general petraeus . We definitely know theyre connected with general petraeus. These guys were the senior advisers for the training commandos and general petraeus was in charge of the specific training at the time. Rumsfelds letter, he lets them in on what petraeus is doing with the special Police Commandos. This is part of a special initiative. With rewards to what they knew, when we interviewed, it took us a long time to kind of focus this in on where those Detention Centers were, north of baghdad and in the Triangle North of baghdad. Neil smith was opposite the Library Complex used as a detention center. He said it was widely known. They could hear the screams at night. Everybody knew what was going on that in that place. With regards to coffman and steele themselves, general muntada recalls one of many incidents where the door to where a detainee is being tortured is open, and the door is just calmly closed, coffman and steele in the room there. When we asked how do you know if he knew, like maybe he didnt know what was going on, referring to petraeus. He was saying, you know, there was screaming, torture going on all the time there. He eventually had to leave the unit and leave iraq in fear for his life, because this was a particular unit that was kind of out of control. Cenk right. Working on the guardian piece that we just covered here. You will be working with the young turks to produce some investigative documentary pieces, along with the center for investigative reporting. Everybody stay tuned for that, powerful stories about the United States shes got coming up. Thank you for joining us. Thanks, cenk, speak to you soon. Cenk government scott in florida, the giant flipflop. His whole career is about opposing obamacare. Now he says it was so disappointing. This is going to be devastating for patients devastating for taxpayers, the biggest job killer ever. Were not going to implement obamacare in florida. Your decision on obamacare a classic bait and switch . Its go time. Cenk were back on the young turks. If theres one thing governor rick scott is against, its definitely obamacare. Except for when hes for it. An epic flipflop by the florida governor. Jacki sheckner is here to tell us more about it. I dont think they make flipflops this size. There is no man who has been morgans the Affordable Care act than rick scott and now he says he is going to support the expansion of medicaid, which means medicaid can now cover people up to individuals making 114,000 a year. That Medicaid Expansion is part of the Affordable Care act which rick scott has said for years now that he is animately against, no questions asked. Cenk ewe dining he flipflopped here . Poll numbers. I think its sinking poll numbers. He sees that hes widely unpopular in florida. This was an easy sell. The federal government covers 100 of medicaid in the first three years. He thinks this will take him look the election and he will get away with it. The represent controlled house can find a a way to strike it down and he looks like the good guy. Cenk if the audience is unclear this is a flipflop. Lets take a look. I promise you that well work with the people of florida who want the best for florida with regard to health. The federal government shouldnt be telling us what we can and cant buy. They shouldnt direct us what we should buy. The Obamacare Decision came out. This is going to be devastating for patients, were not going to implement obamacare in florida. So were not going to implement it with with regard to Medicaid Expansion. Every family should have access to high Quality Health care. I concluded that for the three years the federal government is committed to paying 100 of the cost of new people in medicaid, i cannot in good conscience deny the uninsured access to care. A decision on medicaid, a classic bait and switch . We dont have the choice whether this is going to be the law of the land. Its the law of the land. Did he just read the bill . I ever concluded. What do you mean, it has been in the bill the whole time. Nothing that changed, other than his stance. A guy called health care enemy number one spent all of his money fighting the Affordable Care act. Cenk when he says i concluded that its really valuable for the citizens of my state to get this, isnt that a flat out admission i was wrong, president obama was right, it turns out it really helps my citizens . Absolutely. There are a lot of uninsured people in Florida Living at or below the poverty line who need actions to medical care. The federal government picks up the tab for the first three years and then the state only has to cover 10 after that. Its a really good financial decision for the state. It looks really good for Governor Scott and hes banking on the state forgetting all the lousy stuff hes done until now. Henry kelley said this cenk of course, referring to governor rick scott. Henry kelley is here with us now. Lets talk to you about this epic flipflop here. First of all, is it a clear violation of what rick scott had said earlier about fighting obamacare . Absolutely. I mean, theres no other way to place it. You know, what jacki is saying is right. I first met him innocent of 2009, before he was even candidate for governor. He came to a tea party rally in my town. We had 500 people in a rainstorm. He articulated why this would be bad, when he talked about it being devastating for patients, you know, the free federal money is never free, it comes with strings attached, and he campaigned on that. I and many people went to rallies, you know, florida is a hot prays in the summer. We were out in small towns sweating profusely and at that speech he replayed that over and over, and to come out just before the legislation takes session in florida and make this pronouncement without prepping either the legislature or folks by myself, it was an astounding flipflop. Cenk henry, on that note, jacki mentioned his poll numbers. 57 disapprove of Governor Scott and only 33 approve of him. Isnt it fair for him to turn around and tell you henry look i tried your way and i became enormously unpopular so im a politician, im flipflopping because it turns out the people of my state do want this. Well, i understand his low poll numbers but, you know, cenk good policy makes good politics. The bottom line is medicaid, not medicare but medicaid has been proven to have very bad outcomes. The people in medicaid actually currently have worse Health Outcomes than people who are are understander. Theres an arkansas plan being employed that could we take those medicate dollars and have people enroll in private insurance. Theres a number of things that the ladies and gentlemen lature is looking at that takes advantage of the federal money but its not just one size fits all. In florida, we have an enormous senior population, which drives our costs up tremendously. Jacki mentioned we have a large uninsured population. There is a problem but when the governor said, well, its the law of the land, you know, its not true. The law is that the states can decide on Medicaid Expansion and they have some flexibility in that, so for him to suddenly say well, were going to jump onboard with thible care act and trump the legislature in what theyre going to do, you know, you, yourself, last night were tweeting about obama and the drones and what is the proper role of congress. Well, tea partyers like myself have been very involved with the legislature and the governor comes out the day before, you know, when the Legislature Starts in what to me is a naked attempt to increase his poll numbers. Heres the failure. If you look at it from a political standpoint, hes really irritated his base, might be putting it mildly, but the sciu union which is very prominent in florida because of the number of hotels and tourist destinations have come out and said we support the expansion but in no way shape or form are they endorsing Governor Scott or getting onboard with him. I dont know where he thinks this mythical middle exists. Cenk henry i think we might have stumbled on to one of the answers here, health care companies. We need to take a break here. I want jacki to respond to some of the policy statements you said there because we have some disagreement on that. You are right that rick scott is saying its the law of the land when its not necessarily true. He could still not do the medicate expansion but should he do it, thats a good question. I want to talk about that. I want to talk about the role of cooperations in this and what the rest of the republican party, including Chris Christie is doing when we come back. Were back on yucatan. Governor rick scott isnt the only one flipflopping on obamacare. Chris christie that done the same thing. Its simple. Were putting people first which is why after considerable discussion and research, i have decided to participate in Medicaid Expansion under the Affordable Care act. We have an opportunity to ensure that even greater number of people in new jersey that are at or near the poverty line will have access to Critical Health services, beginning in january of 2014. Cenk but chris thats what president obama was saying all along, put people first. You were saying no, lets put them last. Ok, lets put them first. It is an offs hypocrisy. Look at the long list no all flipflopping on this. Ill tell you why its the poll numbers. In florida look at that, 62 support expansion of medicaid as part of the Affordable Care act only 28 percent oppose and 28 with doll ripple, they are still asleep. Weve got henry kelley, chairman of the Fort Walton Beach tea party. Jacki, i want to let you respond to what henry said in the last segment about how he thinks that this Affordable Care act does not help people. First of all, i dont know what numbers youre setting with regard to medicate. Theres people on medicate with worse outcomes than what you said. Id like to see where that assertion came from. With all do are the, when you talk about arkansas, the governor in arkansas wants to take federal money and give it to private Health Insurance companies. I dont understand that somebody who wants to be fiscally conservative with the peeps money taking taxpayer money and subsidizing private health care companies. Cenk interesting. First of all jacki let me say, i mostly agree with you on the numbers about medicaid. This has been some of the conversations thats come up as ive attended state and House Committee meetings on the Affordable Care act. Ill be glad to get with you off line on where the state is coming from. First of all im not in favor of the expansion myself. I dont buy into the federal government for three years is going to pay for it. Its the federal government that had to rely on sequestration to make a single budget cut and you know, when Governor Scott, and i think this was part of the story, when he first got elected, he rejected high speed rail dollars. Why . Because he said well, the first 2 billion is the the feds are going to pay for it, but after that falls on the state. Were a balanced budget state. By law we have to have spending and taxes have to be in alignment. When you shift money into medicaid and when the state becomes the owner of that three years from now youre earth going to have to cut spending on schools and all the other things or the state of florida is going to have to ever significant tax hikes to pay for it. I dont agree with the arkansas model in principle. The point i was trying to make was that there are options the Florida Legislature is going to look at for the next 60 days, but the governor in what i feel was a desperate attempt to move his poll numbers jumps in with this announcement that he legally cannot uphold in the way that the florida government is structured. We can agree that rick scott is doing a very politically calculated decidescalculated disingenuous move, and florida is hot. When you were talking about the high speed rail, 2. 4 billion was turned down by the governor. That was 2. 4 billion that would have gone to the state of florida or would have gone to another state. Its not money that would have been recircumstance latelied anywhere else. He turned that down on the assumption that down the line, there may be construction overages that may have hypothetically fallen on to the state resources. That was never proven. It was simply an allegation in scotts head. If he was standing on principle then it makes no sense he is reversing on principle now. Thats exactly why i brought the high speed rail up. If that was his economic argument then, that federal dollars would eventually have to be replaced by state dollars the same argument, if that was your economic principle that should apply now. So he is not following what was a sound economic angle from the state of florida therefore that must almost by definition make this a political calculation. Cenk no question about that. Henry, let me jump in on that. You guys are both agreed, it is clear hypocrisy and political. Isnt it fair to say youve lost on that one. Weve shown you the numbers 6228, the people of florida say henry, we love you but dont agree with you and want to expand medicaid. There is some, i mean certainly, there is some truth in that, but at some point the bill has to be paid. As somebody who truly believes in limited government, and fiscal sanity, the law was that the state does not have to accept these federal dollars. Were still borrowing as a nation 40 of our revenues. The devastating effects of sequestration are simply a cut in future spending. I dont think the nation can continue to spend on this course. Government estimates on medicare programs or medicaid, excuse me, tend to be notoriously off so i remain skeptical however like many people, i, you know, the law, the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care act as a tax, but they also upheld thatle the states have the right to decide for themselves whether or not to accept the Health Care Exchanges ordered medicate expansion. My paint to this, it hearkens back to the discussion last night on. Night on. dir. Ecl , the state of florida still has a vote in this. Tea party folks like myself people have said were dead. Weve been going to Committee Hearings participating in the process. To have the governor that we helped get elected come out before the legislature completed its work with its recommendations was simply shocking to us. Cenk on the up side, if you guys abandon rick scott, as well. His popularity might drop to below 33 . We all have that to look forward to. All right, henry kelley and jacki sheckner, thank you for participating in this fascinating cross partisan conversation. Really appreciated it. When we come back. Attorney general eric holder said we might be ail to drop a drone own, but when it comes to the banks under no circumstances can we prosecute them. I am concerned that the size of some of these institutions becomes so large that it does become difficult for us to prosecute them. No, save 300 bucks over here wait, save 400 bucks right here. With so many places offering so much bucksaving, where do you start . Well, esurance was born online raised by technology and majors in efficiency. So theyre actually built to save you money.

I am concerned that the size of some of these institutions becomes so large that it does become difficult for us to prosecute them when we are hit with indications that if you do prosecute, if you do bring a criminal charge, it will have a negative impact on the national economy, perhaps even the world economy. I think that is a function of the fact that some of these institutions have become too large. Cenk isnt that amazing . Thats our attorney general admitting yesterday in the Senate Judiciary committee these bankers are too big to jail. Elizabeth warren, senator from massachusetts of course has said cenk that obviously seems absolutely right. I talked to sharon brown a couple of days ago in the senate in his office, of course from ohio, one of the most progressive senators. He said with people like Elizabeth Warren in the senate, we might be able to get a couple of more progressive priorities through. Sherrod brown is working with david bitter and Chuck Grassley as well to try to break up the big banks. There is encouraging news there. I asked senator brown now that youre working with the republicans, do you ever go out. Do you ever go bowling together . Does that happen anymore . We travel together. Theres some discussions together. Theres some occasional meals together. Its not enough. Part of it is we see the world very differently. Cenk i wanted to end the show on kind of a fun note ear and talk about whether youre a democratic, should you hang out with republicans should you go bowling with them. Ok so i brought in the panel be jacki sheckner is back, casper the friendly host, anna kasparian, jayary jackson the reverend is here, as well. Anna, would you date a republican . No, i wouldnt. Cenk flat out. No, i wouldnt date a republican. I care about politics too much. We would always be arguing and i would have high blood pressure. Id fool around with a republican. Cenk very interesting. Carlmala, would you date a republican . Even if youre a democratic, but you dont know what the heck youre talking about. Cenk Jacki Bowling roller skating, movies. Would you go to any of those events . I would roller skate with a republican. Im with anna. I think that your values and politics are intertwined especially if youre political. I think thats important as hermela said, its important to you. Women like to change men, so maybe the three of you. Not that its right theres an assumption that you really like to change men. I thought you meant like switch, like share them. [ laughter ] cenk thats fun too. Change the guy to a good guy. That you can possibly convince them. When you have conversations you want to convince them of the right point of view. There is intrigue there. No way. Im so exhausted, i dont want to spend my time trying to change someone.
