This is a video from the Letterhack. I like the host’s clam informative delivery. I don’t know how anyone who watches Play Time feel about Cenk and Anna, but I do know how I feel. When this situation first erupted and Anna went ballistic on something that was only used on select medical forms and when criticized about it Cenk acted like a teen boy defending his hot girlfriend and went way over board defending her against anyone even vaguely critical and making threats claiming things that were said that never were. But here is the thing that because they refused to accept any criticism of that they claimed, they were supported by republicans and championed the cause republicans would use to win. From there Cenk and Anna branched into bashing Biden while claiming that crime was soaring echoing the right wing media talking point about crime and homelessness. Cenk then went so far as to attack trans supporters and advocates while trying to cozy up to republicans like tRump. I left TYT when Cenk said that the only way to win nation elections was to drop support for the T in LGBTQ+. He was so adamant in that, just throw them under the bus and when we win we can go back and get them. Yet the years that Cenk was pushing this all the republicans trying to run on trans hate lost. They lost by huge margins. But Cenk and Anna never admitted they were wrong using the time to go further right on other republican issues like housing the unhoused and finding ways to deal with crime. They ignored the real reasons for these problems adopting a hard right republican view of the issues. Anyone who disagreed with them was attacked vigorously.
So here is a video and I am not sure at what point in the saga this was videoed at. All I know is Cenk, Anna, and most of TYT has lost the mantel of “Home of the Progressives” and taken on a more smarmy look. Look this is an important video on supporting the trans community and not on attacking Cenk. But we can not let anyone on the left claim to be the home of the progressive left and then give the haters room to attack trans people. Trans rights, trans people, are far more important today than maybe they ever had been. But if you know your history, congratulation you survived the educational purges, then you know that the Stonewall riots where the LGBTQ+ rose to defend themselves and their rights wouldn’t have happened without the valiant drag queens and trans people who used their high heels as weapons to defend the rights of all the LGBTQ+. We need to keep that in mind knowing we still and will always need them and their courage. Hugs
Cenk Uygur continues to use anti-activist rhetoric when discussing Trans-Rights in dehumanizing ways while neglecting to include facts in his wild opinions about gender affirming care for minors.

I gave up on them before the first pres. election Trump ran, and really didn’t pay too much attention in the couple years before that, though I sort of liked them before then (if that’s not too confusing!) They were already trying to suppress liberal votes by talking down the best candidates for chances, at least, of progress. They’re pretty well a “burn it all down-f–k the collateral damage-then we’ll build it back up our way” group, who end up trying to dominate everyone. Just my .02.

Hi Ali. I always enjoy you adding your two cents. However with the cost of things rising I think your two cents should be worth far more than that. Heck I would even say at least 4 cents … 😜😂😁💖
Sorry I just couldn’t help myself. Of course your opinion is worth far more to me, and I am glad you offer them here. I also walked away from them some time ago. The last straw for me was Anna’s attacks on trans people starting with the silly claim she was offended by seeing on a medical form a question about a person with a uterus. She felt it dehumanized her personally as a woman and demanded that she be called a woman, and she acted like trans activist / the left was demanding all females be called people with a uterus. No one could convince her it was just for trans men needing gynecological care. When she was criticized and people tried to explain Cenk went full bulldog attack mode, he slandered anyone and everyone who said anything about it and viciously attacked other podcasters on the left. When called out for the outrageous over the top attacks on other podcasters he then made claims that the left was attacking him / her and calling them Nazis. That was not true, a flat out lie. So he was called out on that also. It became a full out war. I felt Cenk was acting like a teen boy defending his hot girlfriend who put out for him. There has long been speculation that Cenk was having relations with Anna and … I wrote several times to the show asking them to understand and tone it down and when they then went to repeating the republican lies about crime and homelessness I cancelled my membership. I had had enough of their lies, their deliberate shift to the right while claiming to be the home of progressives, and I left one last complaint, then cancelled my subscription. Hugs
