Futurist, change management specialist and “X: The Experience When Business Meets Design” author Brian Solis sits down with The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur to talk about the past, present and future and how more and faster change is coming, and the only question is whether you’re going to be a part of that change or a victim of it.Along the way, the two discuss how disruptive technologies and changing cultural standards will affect the news business, city planning, transportation and nearly every other aspect of how we live our lives. Specifically, Uygur and Solis address:- Why it’s not so terrible that people engage with their phones more than with one another face-to-face- Why Apple, a company that never designed a remote control, will soon revolutionize what a remote control can do.- How legacy-based decision making is killing both the taxi and TV news businesses- Why Cenk says he’s more afraid of a random kid in Nebraska than all the cable news organizations in the world.Check out Brian Solis onine: http://www.briansolis.com/Follow Brian on Twitter: @briansolisFollow Cenk on Twitter: @CenkUygurLike this interview?

The Green Party’s Dr. Jill Stein is serious about running for president, and taking on the system that drives up student loan debt and healthcare costs, cuts taxes for the rich, promotes endless war while flooding weapons across the Middle East, and bails out the criminals on Wall Street while channeling young African-American males into the school-to-prison pipeline.In this wide-ranging interview with The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur, Stein also shares:- Her plan to drive young people to the polls by promising to eliminate student debt- Why, as much as she admires Bernie Sanders, the Democratic machine will never let him win- Her strategy for dealing with ISIS- The lessons of the Obama presidency- Her position on Black Lives Matter- Why no one else will deal with the urgency of the climate crisis- How her plan for a Green New Deal can turn back the tide against climate change while providing jobs and promoting a thriving economyFor more information about the Jill Stein candidacy, visit http://www.jill2016.com/Follow Dr. Stein on Twitter: @DrJillSteinFollow Cenk on Twitter: @CenkUygurLike this interview?

The United States’ targeted drone killing program is notoriously fraught with controversy. Just a few pointed concerns include the practice of video game-like killing from afar, the inevitable deaths of non-combatants and the constitutionality of extra-judicial murder away from the battlefield with no due process or transparency.In this fascinating and at times disturbing TYT Interview, The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur speaks with former US Air Force drone operator and whistleblower Brandon Bryant and DRONE filmmaker Tonje Hessen Schei about the process of becoming a drone operator, what it’s like to kill someone you’ve never met from thousands of miles away while watching the event unfold on a screen, the impact of the US drone program on terrorist recruiting, and much more.Find out more about the documentary DRONE: http://www.dronethedocumentary.com/Follow Brandon on Twitter: @backavarFollow Tonje on Twitter: @DroneDocFollow Cenk on Twitter: @CenkUygurLike this interview?

David Duke first rose to prominence in the ‘70s and ‘80s as a modern, more photogenic representative of the white supremacist movement, abandoning the Ku Klux Klan's robe and hood in favor of business suits and trading overt racist appeals in exchange for more “acceptable” coded language that involved disparaging “welfare queens” and “racial set-asides.”Duke eventually left the Klan to found the “National Association for the Advancement of White People,” served one term as a Republican in the Louisiana state house, published two books, one on “Racial Understanding” and the other on “Jewish Supremacism,” ran for governor, senator and president, served a 15-month prison sentence for mail fraud and tax evasion, and today is a well-traveled international spokesman bringing attention to what he views as the Zionist conspiracy to run the world.In this at times combative interview, an increasingly exasperated Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks listens as Duke goes on at great length attempting to substantiate his claims of a purported Jewish control of the media, the entertainment and banking industries and the US government - all while denying the label of anti-semite.During the few breaks in his harangue, Duke briefly answers questions about:- Whether he has any sympathy for African-Americans who, like him, claim to be victims of discrimination in the criminal justice system.- Whether black people are more criminally inclined than white people or are simply targeted for arrest more frequently than whites.- If MSNBC is run by a secret Irish-American cabal- If he feels vindicated by the GOP’s adoption of policies he first pioneered, including the drug-testing of welfare recipients- Whether all his railing against Zionism isn’t simply jealousy at the successes Jews have achieved while his and other white people’s fortunes have continued to dwindle.Be sure to stay tuned all the way to the end!Follow Cenk on Twitter: @CenkUygurLike this interview?

The child of Haitian-born parents, Fugees co-founder Pras Michél has always felt an affinity for the Caribbean nation and the long-suffering Haitian people. After a devastating earthquake hit Haiti in 2010 and the government seemed incapable of or uninterested in helping ease the people’s plight, Pras helped recruit hugely popular musician Michel Martelly, a.k.a. “Sweet Micky,” to run for president. Martelly’s successful campaign is documented in the new film “Sweet Micky For President” (http://www.sweetmickyforpresident.com) In this wide-ranging interview with The Young Turks’ Jayar Jackson, Pras talks about:- The role of protests in a democratic society- How the Arab Spring and other movements abroad may finally be coming to the United States- What was different about the University of Missouri football team’s protest - and why it succeeded- How the LA Clippers could have made more of an impact to protest against owner Donald Sterling’s racist comments- Whether health care should be a right or a privilege- The Obama legacy- Whether Donald Trump has a real shot at winning the presidency- Sweet Micky as a man of the people and whether fellow Fugee Wyclef Jean could have also won.Follow Pras on Twitter: @PrasMichelFor more about the movie: @SweetMickyMovieFollow Jayar on Twitter: @JayarJacksonhttp://sweetmickyforpresident.comLike this interview?

With allies like Cornel West and Quentin Tarantino, longtime activist and revolutionary Carl Dix helped found the Rise Up October movement against police brutality. He’s also been at the forefront of the fight against mass incarceration, the war on drugs and stop-and-frisk practices while supporting communities where police violence has ended the lives of African-Americans like Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, John Crawford and Michael Brown.In this interview with The Young Turks’ host Cenk Uygur, Dix attacks the capitalist and imperialist sources that reinforce a range of societal ills, including police misconduct, the mass incarceration and marginalization of black and Latino Americans, the war on women and the dual exploitation and scapegoating of undocumented immigrants. The solution, he says, is to bring these structural inequities to light, compel the masses to decide “which side are you on?” and then mobilize for a political, economic and structural revolution and wholesale realignment of society.For more information on Carl Dix’s work, visit http://www.revcom.usFollow Carl Dix on Twitter: @carl_dixFollow Cenk on Twitter: @cenkuygurFor more interviews, subscribe to our channel HERE:  https://www.youtube.com/user/TYTInterviewsEnjoy this interview?
