#203 - Evidence? Here's Your Evidence!
Winners and Losers Show
Back from trip, my new TYT article full of receipts (25:39) and Cenk Uygur confronted about his union-busting (1:45:19). "No, I am definitely not a union-buster," he says. Then asked about evidence: "Pfft! What evidence!?" We go through the reams of evidence that detail the extent of Cenk's union-busting and discuss why he's motivated to continue gaslighting his audience. Long one!

Just Talking #001 - Monday Sep 16 2024 — Caging Tigers
Winners and Losers Show
No video. I just turned the mic on and started talking. Talking plans for the future and some of the darkness my head's been generating lately, the frustrations of a creative career, a little TYT talk, kitty cat talk, what stand up means to me now that I know I'm autistic. And other stuff probably! This format will develop over time. I'm so sick of editing freakin' videos! Support links here:

info_outline"Tell The Truth, Cenk" is my two-part documentary about The Young Turks' union-busting and ensuing cover-up. Because I was involved and had a very unique vantage point, plus as an aspiring filmmaker and professional video editor, I decided to correct the record and have spent the last two-and-a-half years working on this in secret. So glad to finally be able to talk about it. It is not yet complete and I am asking for support to continue the project. Please consider helping out.
