The great thing about the Young Turks is that we've always stayed true to our principles.
The sense that I get is that every election cycle, the mainstream press devolves more and more.
That's really what's kept me at 'TYT' even though I've gotten offers where I'd make a lot more money working at other media outlets: There's a value in making sure we inform our audience so they're responsible members of the democratic process. To me, that's more valuable than ratings or money or anything else you can get at these other networks.
I've always wanted to do what I'm doing for the news, but I hate the idea of being some sort of celebrity.
When it comes to the Democratic party, all you need to do is look at the ideology of Millennials.
I think Millennials are more progressive, more socially progressive, much more concerned about economic issues that impact the poor and middle class, and so that basically shows me that the Democratic party will have a bright future.
Jesse Watters is just a deplorable human being. I have no respect for him whatsoever.
Liberals genuinely believe that this country is about helping one another out and doing it for the greater good.
Fox News is garbage.
Student loan debt is a real problem. People want to have serious conversations about that.
The reality is that passion and emotion go hand in hand.

Income inequality and government corruption are both unfortunate realities in the United States.
For those who are fighters rather than defeatists, a battle is over when it's impossible to win.
I would argue that electing Donald Trump would be a disaster for minorities; it would be a disaster when it comes to foreign policy.
It's really difficult for mainstream - let's say, cable outlets - to talk about things like income inequality, wealth inequality when the advertisers that are funding their shows are the same corporations that want to ensure that the same system continues.
Who is Allen West? What is Allen West doing with his time? He's the most irrelevant person in America.
I do not respect Trump supporters, but I believe in being fair to them.
People don't want to have their rights online violated. They want the freedom of the Internet.
I just don't understand why people decide to be journalists if they're not willing to investigate hard-hitting news stories.
