5:30Now Playing"It's one of the most shameful numbers in American law enforcement: According to the Department of Justice, some 400,000 "rape kits" are languishing in evidence lockers across the country because local authorities can't afford to process them. The kits, some of them dating back to the 1980s, contain DNA evidence that could convict rapists.
Now the evidence might finally make its way to prosecutors. Last week, the White House announced a little remarked upon initiative to devote $35 million of the 2015 budget to processing unopened kits and otherwise furthering sexual assault prosecutions."

The Young Turks (Winner - Best Political Podcast & Best Political News Site of 2009) were the first original talk show on Sirius satellite radio and the first live, daily webcast on the internet. But that is not the revolution.
We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We are not afraid to talk about politics and entertainment and sports and pop culture. But that is not the revolution either.
The real revolution is in daring to be honest with people. We don't patronize our viewers or lie to them. We have real conversations and deliver the news honestly.
