>> all right, welcome to the young turks. later tonight, a republican debate, but on this program, our first ever young turks mock gop debate. brian williams is here, mitt romney with a surprising beard rick santorum with an have you not surprising vest and ron paul. are you ready to debate? >> did you just ask me if i was gay? >> no. apparently he's ready. and on a serious note, the republicans go to war. it got nuclear today. i'm going to show you exactly how they are ripping into gingrich, but you know gingrich, he's going to rip right back. our first ever human microphone on the young turks. can i get a mic check? >> chick check. >> it could be better. we'll tell you what that is in a little bit. it's go time. >> all right. lots of campaign updates for you guys today, and of course newt and mitt have gone thermonothing clear in florida. just when you thought it was ugly it got disastrously ugly. it appears to be the entire republican establishment going after mitt romney. first, the guy who's hitting him hardest is mitt r

feel the frost. tt hi, back on the young turks. we told you a little bit about sheldon adelson the sugar daddy of newt gingrich giving him money. they agree that israel should be completely hard right wing and palestinians should not get a state. we talked about that before. we haven't told you how much addlele son would make if good beginning would become president. we did the math on it. first, a little clip from world news. >> i think it was on nightline. so he's got a big checkbook right? let's compare him to mitt romney. mitt romney is incredibly rich. he has about $250 million and sheldon adelson is crushing him at $21 billion. he is 84 times richer than mitt romney. ok so, we did a little bit of math. now, if sheldon adelson is making the same amount of money as mitt romney is in relationship to their net worth he would actually be making $1.76 billion. now, if he paid 15% on that, he would be paying in taxes $264 million. remember president obama has the buffet rule, and he wins, then it would be 30% tax on all millionaires

forgot the name of the show p.m. >> back on the young turks.ve got a story we're going to share with the whole young turks family here, because it is a family story. it's about owen schurr, michael's son. >> last sunday was the giants-49ers playoff game and kyle williams with the 49ers botched not one but two of the punt returns right? as a result, everyone hates him. so you look at twitter and people are writing all these hateful things about him fringes one person says if you don't kill yourself, i swear someone will. i hope you your wife, kids and family die you deserve it. >> he doesn't even have wife and kids. >> people are so crazy. i guess if he played in xfl his name would be everybody hates me. >> michael has an adorable son by the name of owen. >> yes. >> and he, the 49ers that's his favorite team. he was very upset and said why did he do that, why did he mess up the game? michael told him if you're feeling bad imagine how kyle williams is feeling right now. >> you're so lib michael. >> when i told him. >> i said if i ever run into ky

back on "the young turks."y joining us, of crooks and liras, syndicated newspaper columnist, and then zaid jilani, senior reporter-blogger for thinkprogress, who has been doing some great work lately with. and zach carter is in washington as well. all right. guys thanks for joining us. i want to do the first topic here. will newt back off? he has been getting a ton of pressure. news out there, threatening everybody saying you work with newt, you could have trouble on your hands. i don't know if you will get a job again. rush limbaugh is comparing rick perry who is doing similar attacks of fidel castro. is he going to be back off? >> i hope not. he is going after romney for being a capitalist, which is just hilarious. right after he left the speakership he went into a competitor, fort smith little. so everything he is guilty of, he likes to go after other people, and now the republican party has had to stand up against capitalism. it's fantastic. i hope he goes all the way. >> right now he doesn't seem to be bac

governor granholm, great to have back on the young turks. i want to ask you. if you're in newt gringrich's war room tonight, and it looks like romney crushed you with these ads. you're going to lose, but you're still holding on to a narrow lead in the nationwide polls how do you feel? how do you respond? how do you fight back? >> in every campaign, cenk, they talk about the flee m's money mobilization and the fourth, morale. he has got to keep his troops and supporters boosted up. you better believe he's going to focus on the delegate count. right now before florida he has more delegates than mitt romney. they need 1,144 delegates to win the nomination. this is just a tiny battle in a very large war. i would remind, if i were--not that i would ever be advising newt gringrich, this is what is going on in their war room is that they're strategizing the long game, not the short game. they'll be reminding their supporters. i'll say one other thing he bettering placing a call toot sweet to shea he hadel he eddlson. >> i would hoping hopeing that somebody would use

these are the young turks: unique voices ... a common goal.y took their message to the streets and started a movement. now, there's no turning back. the number-one news show on the internet meets the only independent tv news network. the young turks on current tv. >> well, if nothing else, a gig campaign could prove a single individual can keep an entire candidacy afloat. the individual is not newt gingrich. if the pattern holds, billionaire casino mogul can propel newt gingrich to the candidacy and beyond. meanwhile, a group of democratic senators decry the supreme court decision that made it all possible. the beneficiary of aidle son's money, the pro gingrich super pack winning our future says it's spending $6 million on television ads and other media in the current primary battleground state of florida where the adelson gift has helped bye seven times more ad space than the gingrich campaign itself. adelson, and his wife miriam have given $10 million this month alone to aid the gingrich campaign, $5 million this week $5 million in january.

these are the young turks: unique voices ... a common goal. they took their message to the streets and started a movement. now, there's no turning back. the number-one news show on the internet meets the only independent tv news network. the young turks on current tv. >> think about this, more than half the electoral votes a candidate needs can be found in california, new york, texas and florida and they also happen to be the states with the country's largest hispanic population. we see why this week's gop fight for the latino vote in the sunshine state has become critical. former florida governor jeb bush made clear wyoming voting block is so important to the future of his republican party. >> the growing populations in all of the swing states are hispanic volares. i don't think a party can aspire to be the majority party if it's the old white guy party. >> statistics back him up. the population in florida alone grew by 57% in the last years. across the country nearly a quarter children are latino. the big worry got gop during the 2008 presid

these are the young turks. the number one news show on the internet meets the only independent tv news network. the young turks on current tv. >> am i to understand the russian ambassador to be admitted entrance to the war room. >> that is correct. >> i don't know how to put this, are you aware of what a serious breach of security that would be? he would see everything, he would see the big board. >> that is precisely the idea, general. that is precisely the idea. >> i totally love that quote. that's of course dr. strange love george c. scott. peter sellers you got to love it. we have our own big board and i want to show you a little bit about what we're going to--i'm going to get used to my big board. this is what we're doing in the country in here, in the war room. we've identified a number of states that we believe have very difficult races. one of them is massachusetts. massachusetts is a great race between senator scott brown and elizabeth warren, senator scott brown, as you know because you're political j

at this group was the young turks. they are getting into powerless. they are ready to sign the papers. the young turks have their revolution. the papers never get signed. they grab all of the assets of the sultan. the palace, he has 19 unix. they spare the unix. they hang achieve unit from the bridge. instead of killing that sultan to exile him with a portion of his harem, with which all the songs had harems, and they actually lived in errands 24/7 until the old guy died. and then they had a systematic fracture size were all the brothers who kill each other and the guy left standing became the new sell. so the arab nationalist took over. and they said okay, now they own is a national property of the turks. and you'll have to deal with those. the problem was this was actually subject to international law. how did this get subject to international law? i told you there was a treaty called the berlin to baghdad railway company. excuse me, that was a contract. that contract was elevated to international law by taking that

but what are the chances that this could actually work or earlier i caught up with a host of the young turksnd i first asked him what he thinks of the resolutions that are being passed so if you city council voted but is actually going to make congress act. well yes and no so if you're asking is it going to specifically lead to the resolution that we're looking for no because for example in new york city doing this is fantastic but you really need new york state to call for a constitutional convention to get a constitutional amendment if you're going to do it at the state level but yes in the sense that all of this is great momentum because it's all these different cities and the supreme court of montana and so many amendments right now in the house in the senate saying enough is enough it's so obvious that money is corrupting politics and we've got to do something about it so all these voices are enormously important and we need every one of them as we fight for that amount well in terms of that ruling in montana specifically and apply to their ban on corporate political spending that's bee

tonight so thanks for tuning in make you come back tomorrow we're going to have you heard from the young turks on to talk about obama's state of the union address in the meantime coming up next. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't have time for our local pacific ocean. so you are sure you know. from the. video. stream. some late libyan leader moammar gadhafi seize control in the town of bani walid saying that the administration of the area is now in their hands. damascus green line it's an extension to the arab league mission in syria and this comes as six gulf states withdraw their support for questioning the regime is a commitment to the peace plan. that will do nicely reports emerge that around as accepting gold as payment for its oil exports actively bypassing the latest round of sanctions imposed by the u.s. and europe. thanks for being with us six o'clock here in moscow i'm karen tara she and libby own loyalists in

so what do we think about the speech well joining me to discuss it is jay cuter host of the young turks thanks for joining us tonight and first i want to start with that clip that we just played there curious what do you think about obama starting and ending the speech with any of the war in iraq and i guess most notably getting rid of osama bin laden i mean he really kept harping on that point to remind all of us which makes sense to me but can we really say that the world is a safer place today or that the taliban's momentum has been broken i feel like he went maybe a little too far there yes i think he was a little too for a lot of these i wouldn't worry too much about. what. you know i know you want to see longer but at least we are out of it right now so he's very sensible or. more. were elected to star in the military given his accomplice use their route. to separate it so i don't get much all right so then what was your overall opinion of the speech we heard a lot of a lot of lofty promises a lot of goals set for where america should be in the future. yeah you know mixed feelings

rid of these people and yet at the same time you still have people out there arguing i was on the young turks on current last night bob sestak said well you know i don't blame the president because if i was in his position i would want somebody to regulate wall street that actually knows wall street and knows how it works i think that we've seen enough of that and nobody's regulating it. there's no there's no regulation of wall street i mean there's twenty three hundred page laws the dog frank law of which no one can figure out what the regulations are meant to be at this point they're still committees trying to put together and write the regulations but we're sitting here talking and having this nice conversation i can assure you that there are lawyers for wall street firms who are camped out at the f.c.c. or at the c.f.d. see in washington helping to write the regulations so i mean the idea that wall street is getting new regulations is a myth the truth is though there are plenty of regulations already on wall street but you know you see let's just take one example ok one recent example wit
