Transcripts For CURRENT The Young Turks With Cenk Uygur 20130115

Well see you back here tomorrow. Cenk welcome to the the young turks. We got a great show for you guys tonight. Alex jones remember the guy raving about gun control. 1776 on the young turks. Alex jones is here. Im sick of glenn beck. Im sick and tired of him. Hes a punk. He called me a fascist. This is the guy who made jokes about torture and said it was a good thing. Cenk wait until you get a load of what he said jon stewart. Nothing but fun. And aaron swartz. The government went after him like a ton of bricks. He committed suicide. Oh devastating. I talked to him earlier in an interview on the online show. Now i guess my job is to make sure it trickles down to other people. I feel like i got a pretty lucky break. Right now there are millions of people who have not been so fortunate. He was trying to help people. The government did not like that. That story makes me so mad. All right were going to truck about that on tonights show as well. Its go time. President obama had a press conference today. He wanted to talk about the debt ceiling and about the gun control a little bit. He has positive words that are encouraging for those of us who believe he should fight harder. Lets listen. Obama i want to be clear about this. The debt cereal something not a question of authorizing more spending. Raising the debt ceiling does not authorize more spending. It simply allows the country to pay for spending that congress has already committed to. The issue here is whether or not america pays its bills. We are not a debtdeep nation. Cenk i like it. Now normally i say it should have been stronger, but it was pretty strong and he made his point very good. It continues. Obama this is not an implicatedcomplicateed subject. You dont go out to dinner, eat all your want, and then leave without paying the check. If you do, youre breaking the law. And congress should think about it the same way that the American People do. Cenk i like it, man. I do. Thats exactly right analogy. You know, of course, id go further, but i would every time, right . Id say listen, the republicans spent this money. They spent it in tax cuts for billionaires and millionaires, they spent it in the iraq war afghanistan, the great majority of this money was spent by george w. Bush. Now im going to make them pay the bill. I would turn it around on them. Thats good. Very strong language. We hope he sticks to it, well look at that in a minute. Obama congress has not been able to identity identify 1. 2 trillion that theyre happy with. They dont want to cut defense. Cenk thats true. Hey, man im perfectly happy to do that. Lets go to michael shure. The language is good. The frame something good. It seems strong. Excuse me if im a little skeptical that he wont negotiate over the debt cerealing. Youre excused for being skeptical, youre fine. You have every reason to feel that way although i think the way he handled the fiscal cliff was a departurei think he bent over a little bit less than he has in the past in terms of going back on what he said he was going to do. He got americans towealthy americans to pay more in taxes. Not the specific 250,000, quarter of a million. When we came to the socalled fiscal cliff there was a question that the American People had to resolve or the politicians did between the clintonera tax rates where we had great prosperity and the bushera tax rate where we didnt have that prosperity. For some reason we chose to go with the bushera tax rates for 99 of americans. That makes no sense. But again and boehner is saying now hes literally i got 99 of what i want. Do you have confidence hes not going to get anything in the next round . I have confidence in the president by separating this out got what he wanted. Separating this whole debt ceiling out was his strategyi dont think youll hear john boehner say he got 99 of what he wanted. Cenk the ending of the negotiations. But whether theyre going to negotiate or not i think the president will say im not going to negotiate over the debt ceiling, but the sequester is happening at the same time and im negotiating over the sequester. That might be part of the negotiation. The president was careful today in this press conference as you just showed to say were talking about in. This is about doing the debt ceiling about paying the debt. It has nothing to do with the sequester. He didnt talk about them together. He talked about them separately. In fact, thats where the negotiating will happen. He said to congress well have to figure out a way not to increase deficit. It will have to come with spending cuts. Cenk more austerity, i wouldnt do any more of it. But he also talked about guns. He was asked about guns. I think what well hear him talk about hear here now but 836 people now since the newtown tragedy has died. Thats almost as if we have woken up for 32 days and there was a nu town every single day. Cenk every time we update it i get surprised. Oh, my god, its been that many more and its insanity. I think a great majority of the American People are on to it. It is a majority, 52 of americans are now more supportive of gun control since newtown. Were making progress, of course it depends on what is in it. He has the option and hes talking about using the executive order. Here is the president. Obama well, my understanding of the Vice President is going to provide a range of steps that we can take to reduce gun violence. Some of them will require legislation, some of them i can accomplish through executive action. Cenk so the executive action seems strong. Yes. Cenk do we know what theyre refer to go. It can refer to any number of things. The president specifically has not talked specifically about what would be an executive action the Vice President hasnt either. One of the things that people are thinking that he will do are background checks, to have this universal background check system even if the gun lobby or nra, they have a waning power and i should point out today there is an nra target practice. I think thats what the name of the app is. For four years and older, its nra practice range. This is the same nra that is selling an app that way saying the video games and guns have nothing to do with it, four and over. Cenk something really interesting i read at the end of last week. You wonder why the nra is so mental on not giving an initial on any initial. The one that i think theyre going to lose on is high capacity magazines. No one can justify having 30 bullets in a magazine unless you want to shoot and kill more people in one shooting. What i read is their top funder of the nra is a company that sales high capacity magazines. Theyve given over 7 million to the nra. Those are the guys they represent. Of course theyre not going to give in. The nra follows the money and the congressmen follow the nra because nra follow the money. Thats that big circle that goes on all the time. Then the president is addressing the fact that people are out buying guns. Here is the president once more. Obama i think that weve seen for some time now that those who oppose any common sense gun control or gun Safety Measures have a pretty effective way of joining up fear on the part of gun owners that some how the federal government is about to take all your guns away. Cenk yeah, hes always measured in the way that he talks. Its like phil simms. Cenk expect not quite as inaccurate. No, thats true. I think you would say that theyre both inaccurate. Cenk one last thing that i found interesting when asked about socializing with the republicans. He had a lot to say about that. I want to show one clip where he talks about the republicans coming over to a picnic, etc. And how relevant this is. Lets watch that. Obama yeah, when im over here at the congressional picnic and folks are coming up and taking pictures with their family, i promise you michelle and i are very nice to them, and we have a wonderful time. But it doesnt prevent them from going under the floor of the house and, you know, blasting me for being big spending socialist. Cenk see politico has a huge article about this. The president is not friendly enough. If he was friendlier he would get a deal. Thats the biggest load of crap ive heard im sick of hearing it. Its not like the galo, you warm my heart. Who started being friendly, the president did. He was out there with congress, trying to get themand we were criticizing him for that. Its not working. Now theyre going to criticize him for not being friendly enough. I wouldnt be friendly to them either. Cenk you dont need to be friendly. Just kick their ass and theyll do it. The president also said hes looking for poker partners. I would love to do that on two differentcan we invite harry reid too . Anyway, when we come back, alex jones, and his views on glenn beck. Theyre fighting now. That is an interesting conversation. That little piece of trash needs to know this. He tried to play this collectivist game oh, he doesnt speak for us. You, jack ass main line conservatives dont speak for me. To me now . You know the kind of 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 . Destined to take them over. The sirius Xm Satellite Radio in the 2013 ram 1500. Engineered to move heaven and earth. Guts. Glory. Ram. The new ram 1500. Motor trends 2013 truck of the year. Rich, chewy caramel rolled up in smooth milk chocolate. Dont forget about that payroll meeting. Rolo. Get your smooth on. Also in minis. These talking points, that the right have, about the heavy hand of government. I want to have that conversation. Lets talk about it. Really . Youre going to lay people off because now the government is going to help you fund your healthcare. Really . I want to have those conversations, not to be confrontational, but to understand what the other side is saying, and id like to arm our viewers with the ability to argue with their conservative uncle joe over the dinner table. Cenk alex jones is the host of the alex jones show. Its all across the country in different radio stations. Hes also featured at info wars. Com. And you might remember him as the guy who was ranting and raving with pierce morgan about gun control talking about metal sharks chimpanzees etc. I talked to him earlier. We had that conversation. I also asked him about jon stewart and what is the global conspiracy that rules all other conspiracies. But first man when i asked him if he was part of the conspiracy because thats what glenn beck is charging that hes doing to make gun rights people look crazy. Lets watch that part of the glover. Why would pierce morgan have this guy on . Well, because pierce is trying to have gun control and hes trying to make anyone who believes in guns and believes in the Second Amendment as not something about sports but to be able to be deterrent to out of control government look like a madman. Cenk im going to let you flat out respond to that. Glenn beck for years has done all sorts of stuff behind the scenes, and im sick of him. The guy makes me sick. I dont sit there and spend all day attacking other media personalities. I had a few run ins with you but you havent done anything behind the scenes. He constantly does stuff to me. He said ron paul supporters needed the army to go after him. I dont attack Rush Limbaugh or michael savage. I dont go after glenn beck because im in competition with him. Glenn beck is despicable. Pierce morgan wanted me on to say i was wrong to violate his first amendment. How dare i take free speech rights when i said a foreigner should not be here lecturing us. It was all tongueincheek. I actually sat there and when i went out there before he went live. I saw his cue cards. It was all about that. It was not that we have a right to own guns to protect ourselves from the government. I did that. Glenn beck is trying to hold me back. Ive talked to people oh who work for him. He has five guys watching every i do. Four or five years ago he would not talk about any of this stuff. Now he takes it and spins it in the neocon way. Hes a punk. He called me a fascist. This is the guy who made jokes about torture and said it was a great thing. This is guy who supports drones. I was against all that when bush was pushing it. Im a constitutional libertarian who loves freedom and my views are my own. That little piece of trash needs to know this. He tried to play this collectivist game he dont speak for us. Hes trying to speak for you. You jack ass main line conservatives dont speak for me. Youre the ones who have discredited true conservatism, Thomas Jefferson would spit on you, you little piece of trash. And by the way you havent held me back. Youre not stopping my signal going out. I saw that 15 minute clip where they attacked me. They looked scared because theyre nelly punks who cant stand the fact that im turning the ship around and i have conservatives with my talking points because im original and ive done the real research. Im leading the pack, and all these fake jack asss conservative cant deal with it. Cenk i dont mean this in an insulting way but have you ever sought Mental Health treatment . Yeah, you know what America Needs Mental Health treatment if they dont have a pulse. Were going into tyranny. Were bailing out fake derivatives that have affected our Social Security system. Im angry about that. Man, it was anger that founded this country. Im the nicest guy with my children and nicest guy changing old ladies tires. But the bs of someone calling me a fascist because i got a pulse. Paul revere rode through the night saying to arms to arms. He said, get ready to kill people. George washington signed warrants on people. Im not calling for that. The average american is the one who has a problem. Im in this to win it. Im risking my life. I live in the real world. Ive got a big heard with red blood pumping through my veins. Governor cuomo yells and scream and they rally. They know thats where the victory is. They know thats where the success and the energy is. Im here to rally the republic to awaken. Im somebody who works 18 hours a day. Im somebody who reads philosophy. Im someone who has media my own built my own media empire from nothing. Thats the american dream. And if its Mental Illness to love liberty and to be angry then i am. Back to the as techs, 1500 years ago they were chopping kids hearts out every morning. I said this is crazy. The sun will come back up. You dont have to sacrifice 50 kids. They say youre crazy. Ill tell the aztecs that theyre loco. Ill tell hitler that hes loco. Ill till all these tyrants that theyre loco. Your know angry . Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you because ill say what colonel travis said at the alamo. Victory or death. Thats extremism isnt it, knowing the force of 10,000 people was coming and he had 180. Thats right. This is commitment. Its really living. Its loving innocence and the children enough to be willing to be a real man. Thats what its all about. Cenk all right i think the message is loud and clear although im sure he didnt speak spanish, nevertheless i get your point. Reporter he spoke mayan. Cenk i know, glenn beck called him pump, trash, jack ass ass, nelly punk, and by the way hes sick of him. What does he have to say about pierce morgan and jon stewart. Ill wear red white and blue and you can wear your jolly rogers. Do you get why people think youre a little touched . [ voice of dennis ]. Safe driving bonus check . Every six months without an accident, allstate sends a check. Ok. [ voice of dennis ] silence. Are you in good hands . But when joint pain and stiffness from Psoriatic Arthritis hit even the smallest things became difficult. I finally understood what serious joint pain is like. I talked to my rheumatologist and he prescribed enbrel. Enbrel can help relieve pain, stiffness, and stop joint damage. Because enbrel, etanercept suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. Serious, sometimes fatal events including infections tuberculosis lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and Blood Disorders have occurred. Before starting enbrel your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether youve been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. Dont start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. Tell your doctor if youre prone to infections, have cuts or sores have had hepatitis b have been treated for heart failure, or if, while on enbrel, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. [ phil ] get back to the things that matter most. Ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. [ doctor ] enbrel, the number one biologic medicine prescribed by rheumatologists. H piers morgan on gun control. Has a show a channel on youtube, also successful with hundreds of millions of views. His message is resonating with some. Now i asked him about what is this global conspiracy that he often talks about . What is at the heart of it . We talk about that and we talk about jon stewart and piers morgan. Were becoming an authoritarian country. Were entering a distopic nightmare and i yell and scream to get people out of their trans. Thats why i do it on purpose. Get people out of the transthat theyre under. Cenk alex, when you are concerned about government and its reach into our private lives, and violation of our rights like the mdaa, im just as concerned. I hear you. But when you talk about the global conspiracy, you lose me. It doesnt mean that im right youre wrong but i think to a lot of people its going to seem a little unbelievable. So flesh it out for me. Including to me, honestly, it seems unbelievable to me. Who is it that wants to do this distopia . Who are these puppet masters whoever they are, how many are there, and why do they want to kill us. I dont get that part. Well, the time i interfered him he was the head of the kissinger group. You should interview him. He said he tried to come on my show to convince me that global government is the way to go. There are 20 families who own it theyre mopping up the final countries that were sovereign and bringing in world government. There are thousands of articles in the times of london, newsweek, time magazine, announceing global government run by technocrats. And if theyre successful with their new world order people are going to wish later they would have listened and stopped this. These are 170 iq top scientists hired by the robber baron families. All of them, on record, those old names. Cenk i want to ask you a question about how youre perceived when you
