Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, Adrienne Lawrence & James Thompson. NRA running out of funding. White gang member acquitted in drive-by while black gang members await trial. CNN has Trump supporters explain QAnon.
Read Yale historian Timothy Snyder’s “The Road to Unfreedom,” re, among other matters, fascism’s use of sexuality as a poltiical weapon and as it relates here to QAnon.
Fascists historically and currently label their political enemies as sexual deviants predators. QAnon, a fictional conspiracy theory, is an example.
The Trump campaign and administration have a long , dangerous history of employing this particular authoritarian propaganda technique in their arsenal of fascist tactics. Putin did and does the same. Read the book.
Illegal immigration has created a surplus labor pool and has put downward pressure on working class wages for the last 40 years. That’s a fact. Illegal immigration has hurt working-class American citizens. That’s a fact. However, it’s also true that the working-class American citizen and the illegal immigrant are being exploited by the capitalist system.
People would not come here if the demand for labor from illegal immigrants wasn’t warranted. Illegal immigration has not created a labor surplus because if that were true then your unemployment rate would be 0%; even the best economies do not have a 0% unemployment rate. Furthermore, the reason people come here to work illegally is because there are no visas for them like the H1 visas; furthermore, people working here illegally as you say contribute to the economy, they not only work but spend money and put money back into the economy. These people do not reap the benefits of welfare so you know they are pouring into the rents in apartment rental complexes. The ones that are a drain on the economy are the people who refuse to get proactive to get out of the welfare system. The people that make the economy fluctuate are the big companies.
And there’s the idea from one of the people on the panel that somehow that woman should lose her job because she stated her opinion which has for the most part a lot of Truth in it. However, I’m sure she had some time to think about that she probably would regret suggesting it.
Why do you claim that the person who is stating that the Deep state is trying to run the country that somehow Incredible or insane? It is true and you spend most of your time stating that very wealthy people have bought the three branches of government and use their power to further enrich themselves. The CIA and the FBI or merely instruments of the wealthy and multinational corporations to further their interest. We are subjugated people, that is a fact and you repeat that over and over again on your show in One Way or Another.
I believe that the deep state does exist, but they don’t have the kind of power that the fringe right gives them credit for.
Ok, so powerful people with powerful corporations can get together in smoke filled rooms with common goals of manipulation, but at the end of the day they all know how corrupt each other is and will never truly trust each other.
Evil sows the seeds of its own destruction, and evil doesn’t share power.
These big bosses can only influence the world in so far as they never lose a dime or an inkling of respect. To machinate to the levels that the alt-right are assuming would require cooperation and trust.
Cooperation and trust are anathema to their dark souls.
They cannot organize efficiently enough for true domination. Why? Because they all want to be the Alpha…and there can be only one Alpha.
I wouldn’t worry too much about them for now. They’re mostly just squabbling amongst themselves, and therefore we can still take the power back.
Focus on critical thinking…Ana, this would make a primary topic for a whole show.
I’m a teacher. I’ve taught in two states, in large and small districts, and all grade levels, K-8, over the course of my career.
Critical thinking…depending on where we are teaching, our communities often don’t want that. When you teach in a community of authoritarians, questioning anything is not okay, and teaching children to question gets the parents in an uproar, showing up in the office to demand action from admins, showing up at school board meetings, writing letters, etc., etc., etc.
That “back to basics” movement that morphed into “standards and accountability/high stakes testing” deform did not consider thinking to be a basic.
In my professional view, thinking is the FIRST basic, the whole point for all those other skills that are tested to death.
This needs to be part of any progressive movement. Will TYT take it on?
I am beginning year 22 as an educator. When I push actual critical/creative thinking I get more upset parents than I can count. Most often in my advanced classes. The parents and students want rote repetitive work. Something their child can memorize and regurgitate.
My custodian likes to blast right-wing radio throughout the building until 8am, which is when we are all contractually on duty. He once told me, back in ’08, that he trusted Glen Beck because he’s a libertarian, and not partisan. That he trusts Beck to think for him, because he doesn’t have the time to do all the researching and thinking; he lets Beck do it for him.
Unfortunately, there are way too many people out there who, while they may not be that extreme, operate just like that. They pick a side, a team, and just follow their “leaders” blindly, letting them do all the “thinking.”
And, again on Beck…that same year, I was talking to my 8th graders about a state standard concerning recognizing bias. I did not say anything about any source or personality. One of my girls stood up and yelled at me that she knew I was talking about Beck, and that everything he said was the truth. Her mother spent the next several weeks “observing” my classroom during the period that she was there, looking for something to take to the school board.
On the other hand, I like to think that many of my students have opened that door to critical thinking, at least a little, by the time they’ve moved on.
You’re always talking about TYT shows that I’m supposed to get as a member…I can never find them.
Where is Nina Turner’s show? Where is nofilter, the damage report, etc.? They don’t appear in either of the links above, “membercontent” or “shows.” So where are they?
I’m grateful for Cenk’s point re: the getaway car story. Count me among those who don’t believe the getaway car driver should be charged with murder—but that isn’t the point here. The point is the disparity between how this rich white kid was treated vs. a poor defendant and/or a person of color. I felt like that wasn’t clear when Ana was discussing it.

Way to bury the lead there.

And you get this idea from? The “we need to find a way to blame the powerless even when it makes no sense” talking point memo?
And there’s the idea from one of the people on the panel that somehow that woman should lose her job because she stated her opinion which has for the most part a lot of Truth in it. However, I’m sure she had some time to think about that she probably would regret suggesting it.
The rich kid got away. OJ got away. Rich walks. Let the poor go free. Free to kill again.

I have the faith that we will.
Here’s some proof of the deep state, shadow ring, shadow government, etc…

Some of the YouTube TV shows are only available as podcasts.
You will find them here.

Thank you.
I think they are only on Youtube TV for now. But You should be able to find it on the app they post a bunch of episodes on there!!!

Thank you guys so much for the android app!!
Was the first part of that missing? There was no Power Panel beginning and the guests were not introduced.
I believe you’re right. Waldo Peterson screwed this up apparently.
