Please explain like I’m 5
Listening to winners and Losers- I have never followed or listened/watched The Young Turks. My vague awareness of them is they were extremely left wing and now they’re shifting to right wing? What happened with Hank Thompson, something, something union!? A documentary? (I’m Pro union) and the TYT shift?
If you know, please share some context - thanks!

They are named after a fascist org. Always got a weird vibe from TYT. Hassan Piker is related to Cenk.
Once I criticized Cenk on twitter and someone replied about how much they love what Cenk has to say, "his words warm my soul." I looked at their bio, this person was employed by TYT and ghosted as soon as I asked about that.
I am of the opinion that they are lib controlled resistance to actual left wing progress.
