Why Israel Looks Expansionist

Cenk Uygur is the CEO and founder of TYT (The Young Turks Network), host of The Young Turks — the first partner channel on YouTube — co-founder of the Justice Democrats, and bestselling author of Justice is Coming.

Uygur launched The Young Turks in 2002 as Sirius Satellite Radio's first original talk show, before uploading their first video to YouTube in 2005. What began as an independent voice in political commentary grew into the longest-running daily online stream in history, consistently holding its position as the leading news and politics program for young, progressive viewers across the country and around the world.

His television career includes hosting The Young Turks on Current TV, which became the most popular show on the channel during its entire two-year run. Prior to that, Uygur served as the host of MSNBC Live at 6pm ET, bringing his direct, unfiltered style of political analysis to one of the country's most prominent cable news platforms. Throughout his career he has appeared on some of the most recognized programs and outlets in media, including ABC News' This Week with George Stephanopoulos, NPR, Headline News, E!, Al Jazeera, Voice of America, WNYC's The Brian Lehrer Show, and Fox News Channel.

Beyond the media, Uygur has been an active force in American politics. As a co-founder of the Justice Democrats, he helped build one of the most influential progressive political organizations in the country, dedicated to electing candidates who refuse corporate PAC money and represent working people over donor interests.

Uygur is a graduate of the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia Law School — a background that informs his sharp, analytical approach to breaking down the intersection of money, power, and politics in America.
