CENK UYGUR: "Julian Assange is now a wanted man. They have issued a RED NOTICE, Interpol has. They've put him on a wanted poster. He's wanted for SEX CRIMES! Of course, Julian Assange is the head of WikiLeaks. Look at that. That looks DANGEROUS. Man, there's like a world with a sword in it and such. That dude is WANTED. For SEX CRIMES.

He must be a really dangerous guy.

Yeah. Let me tell you something, o.k.? Of course, I'm open to the evidence, and if there was a trial and I was on the jury, I would listen to see who was right and who was wrong, obviously.

Right now? NOT BUYING IT - AT ALL...

Now what you will hear from other places is equivacation. 'Well, it's a serious charge, and there's these two women, who are claiming, da, da, da... and so, you know, we have to be, to call it even...' No, no. It's not even.

You're telling me that a guy who was doing these massive leaks, which is infuriating, not only the United States government, but governments all across the world, because he's telling us what they're actually doing, that all of a sudden, at the same exact time, there's rape charges against him. Just coincidental. Just coincidental.

Oh, hell no, man. Come on, how naive do you have to be? Doesn't mean it didn't happen; it doesn't mean I wouldn't listen to evidence. But you'd have an overwhelming case to convince me that this is the wildest coincidence of all time.

And remember, the charges were first filed, and then one of the prosecutors in Sweden was like: 'What the hell is this crap?' and withdrew them. And then somebody above that prosecutor came along and said: 'No, no. Be cool. Be cool. We have to press the case forward.' One of the charges of the women was that 'Oh, we were having consensual sex, but then the condom broke, and he didn't take it out in time.' O.K., I don't know, look, if it goes to a trial, fine, I'll have an open mind.

But you're telling me this isn't a witch-hunt? This isn't a smear job? Come on. Come on.

And, you know, I said this yesterday off-air, as we were preparing the MSNBC show, and I was like: 'Look, if you thought they came after Assange before, when he revealed government documents, wait till you see what they got coming up next, 'cause now he's going to reveal the inner workings of the banks - remember he told Forbe's Magazine I'm coming after a big bank and you're going to see their unethical practices.' Right? And I said in the morning meeting yesterday 'Oh, ho, ho. That smear campaign, it's just warming up.'

And today... Interpol. Oh my... WARNING! WARNING: SEX CRIMES, WANTED, RED ALERT, RED NOTICE!

Funny how... do you know why? It's just so you understand why? Look, when you go against the government, you know, a lot of people are affected, etc. etc., but not one person necessarily loses money over it. Yeah, some people might lose prestige, etc. etc., but when you go after the banks, there's real money on the line. Person X and Person Y and Person Z might lose a lot of their compensation when those leaks happen. They're not happy about that. When money ain't happy, all of a sudden, you get red alerts all across the world.

So, if they're going to come at Assange, you ought to be incredibly skeptical about what they're coming with, o.k.?

And I certainly am."

  • @killer10101000 Have you even read the leaks?

  • okay he is wanted for sexual assault in Sweden. And it's questionable in Swedish law. However what he has alleglie done is against Swedish law mainly that he had sex with a sleeping girl without her allowing him to have sex with her. Sweden has as well a very strong standing against sexual crimes and therefore he can be guilty. Many of these allegations are not crimes in other nations mainly Australia. but right now these warrant has bin issued for his arrest and he is wanted for questioning.

  • I really love how the U.S. wanted to put him on trial for treason. WTF?! He's not a U.S. Citizen!! It's not TREASON!

  • @killer10101000 Wikileaks release documents about Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, China, Noth Korea etc... But yeah, lets be blindly egocentric and look only at the documents about US... Learn to think by yourself please.

  • I don't think he is guilty. That being said, I agree with Sweden in investigating.

  • Have they gone after a big bank yet?

  • killer10101000... Nice username you have there! No doubt you're featured in some of the files he's released! You need to get your head examined! People need to know what the fuck is going on! I advise anyone to watch wikirebels, i've followed the alternative media for some time, and that film blow me away!

  • @killer10101000

    "This show is retarded. Julian Assange clearly has an agenda to make the U.S government look bad and is a threat to national security."

    - the information leaked is simply representative of what is happening.

    - Assange has requested that the American government work with him by proof-reading leaked documents so they can collaboratively ensure no tactical information is leaked. this request has gone unanswered.

    it seems to me that YOU have an agenda against Assange.

  • @killer10101000 Your a moron

  • what the hell is dis crap............hehahahaa
