How awesome is it to work with an American hero like me?

This is exactly it. When we considered naming the show we looked up the dictionary definition of The Young Turks and it said progressives looking to overthrow the established system. That's exactly us, when it comes to politics or the media. We're the new media. And we don't trust our politicians like the establishment does. We want to change the system.

It had nothing to do with the historical references to the name. I'm the only Turk who works or worked on the show. We used the term as it is commonly used in American pop culture, whether it's Rod Stewart or the talent agents that challenged the old guard back in the 1980's.

Agreed. It'll take Bill Maher saying yes. But honestly, we're done trying. So, take it up with him. Keeping it real.

Bernie Sanders is a real progressive, but the establishment would immediately dismiss him. I think the only progressive that has a chance of getting enough credibility to run by 2016 is Elizabeth Warren. Remember Obama also ran during his first senate term.

Funny.
