Hour 1:

Kansas election. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is taking fire from the left after months of relative peace, thanks to a document put online the night of Feb. 22 — a collection of opposition research on Laura Moser, a progressive candidate in Texas’s competitive 7th Congressional District. As Moser was attending a campaign event, the DCCC posted a short but brutal collection of hits on Moser that would be likely used against her if she won the Democratic nomination. The 7th District is one of 23 where Hillary Clinton outpolled Donald Trump in 2016, while voters sent a Republican congressman to Washington. “Democratic voters need to hear that Laura Moser is not going to change Washington,” the committee wrote. “She is a Washington insider, who begrudgingly moved to Houston to run for Congress.”

Moser responded later Thursday night, saying in a statement that the DCCC’s tactics represented “why people hate politics” and hurt the effort to take Congress back from Republicans.

Hour 2:

Missouri GOP Gov. Eric Greitens was indicted on Thursday amid looming allegations of sexual misconduct and blackmail following an admission of an affair last month. He was charged in St. Louis with a first-degree felony invasion of privacy, according to the Missouri court system. In a statement Thursday, Greitens denied committing any crime and instead called the situation “a personal mistake” from his time prior to taking office. Russian athlete who wore anti-doping shirt tested positive for performance enhancing drugs. Minimal scientific case for emotional support animals.

0:00.0	you're about to watch what we call an extended clip of the young Turks and the realities is
0:04.2	somewhere in the middle. It's a little longer than our YouTube clips, but it's actually shorter
0:08.1	than the whole two hour show, which you can get if you're a member. You can get it ad-free
0:12.9	and make sure you catch every news story we do that day. You're gonna love it as a full show.
0:17.5	That's at tytnetwork.com slash join. Thanks for watching.
0:22.8	All right, back on the young Turks, Jank, Anna, and Anna with you guys. Sean writes in,
0:29.9	Obama never had to use a card to express emotion. He cried for the children during his presidency.
0:34.8	And look, we mentioned the case of Trayvon and on-arm Black teenagers, but he also cried during
0:41.3	the mass shootings. And he was like, he couldn't believe that it was happening. And he put up a
0:46.0	picture of the victims on his desk and try to remind himself of that every single day. And
0:52.2	by the way, I was not shy about criticizing Obama and his lack of genuineness on a lot of issues,
1:01.7	but that was not among them. That actually he was genuine about that. You could tell it broken up
1:08.0	and he fought way harder than he did on other issues in my estimation on that issue.
1:15.6	Look, I wish he fought his heart on every issue, but it was great that he fought on that and
1:20.4	with the emotion that he did. Gabby Marita writes in, is Trump for Engie? He needs to be reminded to
1:27.9	emote human empathy. Otherwise, his default mode is scam everyone I meet. But look,
1:33.6	that ending Gabby, that's such a great point, because this is something I was talking about a lot
1:38.0	on this show. That's not all rich people, not even close. But some wealthy folks have gotten there,
1:44.4	because they're willing to do what others are not willing to do, because some of them have no shame.
1:51.0	Whether it's releasing porn tapes, pretending that you didn't shoot them to get famous,
1:56.3	I don't know who I might be referring to, I'm just saying, right? Or it's guys like Trump who
2:01.6	run Trump University, which is an obvious, obvious scam. And he knows he's taken the last dollar out
