TYT Summary of Kamala Harris' 2024 DNC Speech

***

The largest online progressive news show in the world. Hosted by Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian. LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET.

The Young Turks are fearless in talking about the issues that matter. We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We cover politics, entertainment, sports, and pop culture; all through a progressive lens.

What does it mean to be a “Young Turk?”

According to the American Heritage Dictionary;
1. Young progressive or insurgent member of an institution, movement, or political party.
2. Young person who rebels against authority or societal expectations.

"Sharp-witted, persuasive, and inspiring, calling out toxic Republicans, politely-ineffectual Democrats, and mealy-mouthed media mavens in equal measure, JUSTICE IS COMING will give heart to Democrats and progressives who seek to change our politics and society for the better.

The media can’t stop talking about the gridlock in Washington, as if a handful of stubborn Republicans are the only thing standing between us and a fully-functional democracy. The reality is that our government has been taken over by big business and their allies in both political parties. The getaway driver in this heist was corporate media. The good news is that the American people are very progressive. And soon progressives will take over Washington as well! And when they do, the great majority of Americans will love it.

In JUSTICE IS COMING: How Progressives Are Going to Take Over the Country and America Is Going to Love It (On sale: September 19, 2023), The Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur presents two ideas that counter everything we hear from pundits and politicians on a daily basis: one, progressives are correct on all issues, and two, America is actually a very progressive country. Millions of us know that we are a part of something larger, a movement that is already transforming Washington.

JUSTICE IS COMING, a compulsively readable manifesto, seeks to apply the momentum progressives have already built to a concrete progressive agenda that activists, voters, and citizens can all rally around. JUSTICE IS COMING looks beyond Trump to the larger historical forces that have given us this unique political moment, and explains why we should fight, how we should fight, and how we will win."

I think it’s good that Harris is flexible and willing to read the room, rather than being a rigid ideologue.

[eggandscorpion]

Small point of information: both Ireland and the UK have recently had heads of state whose parents came from the Indian subcontinent, so, not only in America!

[pink_electra]

Ana's new role at TYT is to make sure all the joy leaves your body.

[nathaniellopez]

Unfortunately, the American dream is dying because of corporate greed. Many people are leaving.

[kadarabdullahi]

I never been more impressed by Kamala than now, she killed it.

[tristancarroll]

Good rant at 25:00 Ana stating the truth on Palestine and ruining Cenk's hard on for Kamala. I agree with you it ruined the speech and is so disappointing. We had a glimmer of hope at the beginning with Kamala but it appears AIPAC got ahold of her. It will be a deal breaker for many who care about Palestine.

[atelianafusivaka]

Kamala’s speech was great and on point👏🏽👏🏽

[charliemcgrain]

Watching from Ireland. Harris knocked it out of the park. Up there with ability and energy of Obama. The whole world was waiting for hope in America. She embodies the dream, the ideal, and the dignity.

[terrywalker]

I am not a Democrat and I don't support democratic policies. But the diversity represented here is amazing. We the people! I pray for US! God help US!

[mrgold]

Ana and Cenk, you guys must give this lady a chance, bashing in the same way you bashed Biden is not going to change anything, bear in mind what she averted if she wins, the fear that has gripped the whole country with the prospect of Trump return is unimaginable.

[freewayal]

My question to Cenk & Ana is, how can Kamala who is currently VP tell Biden her boss what to do? ...
You blame Kamala for Biden's policies, who's to say she didn't object behind the scenes?
....How can Harris as a VP only force a cease fire, and oppose her boss publicly??

[moo]

It's unbelievable that Trump has any support at all.

[andyburge]

Only one word to describe Harris's speech .. Presidential.

[TheresaCampbellBoss]

Her entire speech was phenomenal! Her vision is exactly what we need right now. Chill lady.

[janelipton]

“If she wins, we must hold her accountable.” I distinctly recall being told this in 2020. You won’t have any leverage after you give your vote. I’m not buying that nonsense anymore.

[naydaboss]

We can't solve everyone else's problems until we take care of our own period.

[nwagotunde]

You guys are attacking her on Gaza, what do you expect her to do. she is running for president. she has to take the middle ground.

[madalinegonzalez]

I love Ana and Cenk! I'm way too easily blinded by a good speech and a good story. I keep listening to you because you keep it real for us. Thank you!

[superduck]

Guys.. threats to stop voting is dumb. Push your own Dem candidate instead. Work for change within the party. Dont threaten and let the bigger evil prevail, just because you dont get exactly what you want. Such behaviour is Trumpish.

[amh]

Let's get Harris elected first before we start putting pressure on her please 🙏
