Summary

Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks is a progressive who loathes the toxic left and points to corruption as the unifying explanation as to why there's so much wrong with our system. But don't worry, because Justice Is Coming: How Progressives Are Going to Take Over the Country and America Is Going to Love It ... well, that's the title of his new book, anyway. Plus, the U.S. recognizes a new nation that's also the nation of Niue. Also on the show, really hard-hitting follow ups to silly questions.

0:00.0	It's Tuesday, September 26, 2023 from Peachfish Productions, it's the Jistai Mike Pesca.
0:10.3	The U.S. is formally establishing diplomatic relations with two island nations, and an attempt

0:51.5	Nua.
0:52.5	No, I think that's definitely wrong.
0:54.6	Let's just get an actual Nuaian to pronounce it.

1:26.2	assembly, but those 13 parliamentarians each represented about 1% of the overall voting
1:32.2	age population.
