Meet Trump's New Sugar Daddy
Robert Mercer is a right-wing oligarch who loves bribing politicians so he can make more money at the expense of everyone else. He recently went ahead and bought himself a slightly used Trump campaign. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. tytnetwork.com/...
"THE NEW YORK Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post have all noticed that Robert Mercer, co-CEO of the giant hedge fund Renaissance Technologies, has emerged as a key backer of Donald Trump.
Mercer, who first spent over $10 million trying to make Ted Cruz president,just gave $2 million to a Super PAC supporting Trump. Mercer is also a top investor in the Breitbart News Network. According to the Post, Mercer’s daughter Rebekah nudged Trump to bring in Stephen Bannon, Breitbart’s executive chairman, to run his campaign.
But here’s what the mainstream media won’t tell you: Robert Mercer and his daughter have also funded a gigantic stockpile of human urine in Oregon.
The urine stockpile is the project of Arthur Robinson, a chemist and founder of the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine. Starting in 2005, the Mercer Family Foundation contributed at least $1.4 million to OISM, enabling Robinson to buy freezers to store his 14,000 samples of urine.
Robinson wants still more urine, as much as possible, and issues frequentappeals to the public to contribute. According to the OISM newsletter, Robinson is collecting it in order to “calibrate analytical procedures that can revolutionize the evaluation of personal chemistry - and thereby improve our health, our happiness and prosperity, and even the academic performance of our children in school.””*

If you fill out the Trump Debate Strategy Survey, you will have the pleasure of a flood of Trump emails begging for money. And if you use the Other option on the questions, you can send him personal messages about how he should fake a heart attack and drop out of the race before it's too late. And more surveys, too! I'm planning on answering the next one in limericks.

This is brilliant. Thank you, Cenk. You are a great help interpreting our political scene.

Hillary is gonna be pissed that she's not the only one with Hedge Fund money.
Keep informing get us! Thank you, didn't know about the Mercers.
High frequency trading is cheating. Pure and simple. It needs to be outlawed.
Beautiful This is what Cenk does best. He is in the zone, baby!
I didn't know that Donald is capable of pleasuring other men. Learned something new everyday.
You'd think after making a certain amount of money, these guys would stop wanting more at the expense of the middle class and poor?
A lot of people are there asking, 'Can we have a hobbit home, please?'
2 min 55 secs in, I thought that Jenk read the quote; 'we need small hands on deck', but when I read it I realized it said 'all hands' not 'small hands' lol
Donald Trump with his hand in somebody else's pocket, whodathunkit? "Of course I'm a billionaire, I just reach into my pocket and pull out *your* money!"
So much for "I can't be bribed because I'm so rich that I'll pay for it all myself."
As bad as the Russians these days. We really haven't evolved that much politically from the Dark Ages.
I can't justify a tax raise when the pentagon "looses" and "cannot account for" $6.5 trillion dollars... Smh.. And not a peep from TYT.
Drumpf and Drumpftards can definitely now stop pretending to be on a high horse now.
This is one of the best videos you ever did, Cenk. We need more like that. This is the info that really matters, not the identity politics, not all the mindless ballyhoo.
I just took a dump! Solid texture, full brown color, warm rich smell, minimal wiping. OVERALL--8/10. Pretty good dump.
Can't find any flaws in argument? Welp, time to make childish insults! That'll show them!
Welfare Queens...Damn Cenk, drop that people's elbow.
Are people like Mercer greedy? Actually not really. Most human beings tend to hold less empathy to people they don't know. However, for people like Mercer, that trait is amplified. To them, this is just a game. Do you care what happens to side-characters when you're playing a game? Of course not. You do what you need to do to "win"; kill, steal, cheat. Whatever you gotta do, you do it, because it's just a game.

I guess Trump isn't against bribery.
ahh the trolls love cenk. What would their life be without him? Sitting at home and screaming at kids in cod while drinking mountain dew and eating doritos, or getting their lotion ready because some girl said hi.
Thanks for the information regarding Mercer.

I wonder why this isn't on mainstream news. The connection between Mercer, Conway and Bannon is so relevant to Trump's campaign. Mercer's company Renaissance Technologies has contributed 15 million to Pro Trump organizations on opensecrets.org
Well fuckin done, one of the best videos you guys have done in a while. Laid it all out plainly
"Mercer is worth 12.5 billion, according to Forbes" (not hundreds of millions, Cenk!)
he can do all the trade he wants but he should be paying his taxes. #America's3rdWorldPolitics
This is why you nominate Bernie. No billionaire, or someone who calls himself one, is going to get money out of politics.
it's not Vladimir Putin? I thought Valdy was little donnie's Big Daddy.
Trump is like something from a Native American totem pole that somehow became animated.
This is the most important transmission you have ever made. Now, people easily forget. Therefore, you have to review review review this subject matter for the public. You must repeat this over and over, until the understanding of it is a reflex action in the American thought process. People must see the hypocrisy which is on both sides of the American political coin. So, you're not done here. You've only begun. Continue. The public needs it.
there are a lot 400 pound dudes in this comment section, brought to you by Renaissance Technologies
The day after Cruz announced his decision to run for President,he flew to New York hat in hand to meet with Mercer.
Does TYT stand for Trump's KZread these days? It seems they are his personal media coverage channel these days.
Saw podcast last nite that had a graphic showing relationship of Mercer Family to Trump, Bannon, Conway, etc. but can't find now. Can anyone out there help me find it?
"It adds no value" Except, it makes the stock more liquid and reduces the spread on prices. Is that worth the seemingly increased price many people pay? That's a whole different discussion, but don't pretend it has NO value.
"I'm gunna let you make up your own mind but heres a cooky quote" oh gee thanks, that didnt last long
We need more of stories like this on the main channel Cenk!!
i think if a multi-billionaire docks employees for "failing to refill shampoo bottles, level picture frames, or close doors", you can safely assume the man is a sociopath. a billionaire sociopath.
It sucks that Cenk can't run for President.
Great segment Cenk.
I only liked it because Cenk almost got a Heart-attack and support would do some Justice...?
More like House of Lies than House of Cards.
You know you've got a successful channel when you have such dedicated trolls.
I like how Cenk says, "if we dont fight, we lose," yet he is for giving up and voting for Hilliary. How about growing some balls Cenk and vote for Jill. It doesnt matter if she has a small shot in winning, your defeatist attitude will ensure it.
Why is high-speed trading 'unfair'? To me it sounds like someone riding a horse saying that cars are unfair. Am I missing something?
No matter how hard you try Cenk, Bernie camp isn't going to Killary's.

You're saying that the way we fight money in politics, is by sending money to your political Super Pac? Doesn't Donald Trumps candidacy sort of call the "money in politics" thing into question?
Hey Mr Piggy...who's Hillary's sugar daddy? Soros?
Just another greedy corrupt family that needs to be taken down.
I wouldn't mind living in a hobbit home.
LOL, google the guy and there are literally only like three pictures of him on the entire internet.
every time I watch the yong turks, I walk away not trusting people anymore every time
The more you protect Hiliary.... The more we hate her!!.... Please somebody explain!?
People with money seems to think that they are special but just like the homeless man on the street they will end up in the same place.
If Trump was really so wealthy he wouldnt need this guy
20 million can buy the republican party? That sounds preposterous.
All that money and they don't even know how to spell Rebecca.
THAT"S RACIST GET OFF THE PHONE! GET OFF THE PHONE!!
"not moved by fact or reason" that should be the slogan of the GOP
So Trump has one person and Hillary has all the rest.. ok.
Here Cenk is behaving as a true news person.
STOP YELLING ..Cenk lol , great info and vid...
Massacres sponsored by the government don't sound all that fantastic to me. Obviously not when they happen in OTHER countries, but not even when they happen in this one.
Donald Trump says he's not bought. Lol.
how can they give money from a family foundation, I thought foundations aren't allowed to participate in political campaigns?
Why isn't anyone bringing up how Trump can't even vet his own people. First Lewandowski, then Manafort. How is he proposing to vet muslims, when he can't even vet his own goddamn staff.
So-called smart people can be deranged....
End of World 2016 . I mean Trump 2016 lol
You guys really need to hire someone who can type the closed captions correctly,,,a lot of the time its gibberish
*WOLF-PAC.COM* The hardworking men and women of WolfPac did it here in RI, and I thank them for it! You can do it in your home state too! Join them!
Didn't Forbes Magazine on Sept 28th 2016 claim that Donald Trumps fortune dropped $800 million to be now 3.7 Billion. This is definitely a lot less then he claimed of having 10 Billion. personally I don't care about his wealth as it not a prerequisite to be a Billionaire to run for The Presidency but I question his integrity, loyalty, honesty and his over questionable "deplorable" tactics in how he runs his campaign.
Will this country ever being fair and great?
Isaac Newton believed some really bizarre stuff. He actually spent more time on alchemy than mathematics and physics combined. It's probably more likely that he's a nut when he's such a smart guy than not!
Cenk you are of course not Albert Einstein but your perception of the fundamental rot of our politics is ingenious.
I watched 29 seconds of this video and had already counted Cenk Uygur saying "uh" 4 times. Real news media hosts do not fill pauses with the word "uh". That's what hockey players say when they are interviewed between periods. I couldn't watch any more.
Robert Mercer is who I look up
I wonder what hardware those trading computers use?
Can the GOP ever resist getting Central Casting villains for their campaign??? Mercer looks like A-list 007 megalomaniac.
we need to know more about the people behind the scenes who are causing so much damage to our country. for example, I just recently learned about David Addington, and how it's his fault we ended up in Iraq.
pierce brosnan? mustve read the book of secrets lol
I guess he hasn't given enough, because all of the republicans can't agree.
Did someone catch the name of the book he mentions, at 18:17 ?
Just as Trump benefited from the housing crash, hedge fund operators would make money from the train crash of the economy because they make money whether the stocks go up or down.
isn't it a bit like, sum kind physics though, where, you close one loop hole, only for another to open up somewhere else ?
Atleast it's not the Koch brothers. What's this guy all about then? If he donated to Ted Cruz them maybe he likes family values and anti abortion.
Mercer sounds like a richer, smarter Trump.
Audio is very poorly synced.
Hang on tho... pretty much EVERY Clinton donor is identical to this guy :/
Hmmmmm......why all the owl references by Mercer? Thought Trump was so not involved with that......🤔
this is not capitalism it is Oligarchy economy makes you wanna puke
