TYT - 12.18.15: Bernie vs. The DNC

A portion of our Young Turks Main Show from December 18, 2015. For more go to

Hour 1: Cenk, Ben, and Iadarola hosting. Bernie Sanders’ campaign has been locked out of the voter roll portion of the DNC after it was discovered that a staffer accessed and potentially downloaded some of Hillary Clinton’s info. A 3rd party company that manages the firewall between the campaigns through the DNC failed to block this kind of access on multiple occasions. Some Sanders supporters see this as a fix since the DNC Chairwoman, DWS used to work for Clinton. Video of Sanders campaign manager telling a press group what happened and how the DNC is taking the opportunity to sabotage their campaign. Videos of Debbie Wasserman Schultz defending the DNC’s decision to suspend Sanders, and claiming that they were notified about the breach from the vendor, not Sanders campaign.

Hour 2: Dena Takruri and Ana replace Iadarola and RJ Eskow. Rep David Brat appeared on CSPAN and a caller asked if he could shit in his mouth. Video of the inappropriateness. A Muslim teacher has been fired for teaching about Malala and the plight of Middle Eastern Muslims. She had previously been banned from talking about her Palestinian background and experiences. Cenk talks about how rallying behind Malala is the most anti-radical Muslim extremist thing to do. A Virginia school district shut down the entire district today in response to the huge outcry from parents of one high school that assigned students to learn about Middle Eastern calligraphy. They were made to write a Muslim religious line.
