WATCH: Alex Jones crashes ‘Young Turks’ RNC show — and chaos ensues
Right-wing host Alex Jones invaded the Young Turks set while they were broadcasting from the Republican National Convention on Thursday, apparently in the hopes of inciting a confrontation between host Cenk Uygur and Roger Stone, an ally of Donald Trump.
With Stone off-camera, a grinning Jones can be seen telling Uygur, “I wanna have a rant-off with you,” before urging Stone to crash the set, as well.
“First of all, Alex, this ain’t your f*cking show,” Uygur tells Jones. “And Roger, it sure ain’t your f*cking show.”
Jones continues to goad Uygur, asking if he’s afraid to debate Stone, who has a long history as a conspiracy theorist.
The back-and-forth continues, with Uygur’s co-host Ana Kasparian yelling at Jones at one point to “get the f*ck off the stage.” When Jones accuses her of being part of a Saudi Arabian “jihad,” Uygur leaves his chair and removes his jacket.
“This is bullsh*t,” he tells Jones as he throws his earpiece off. The two men were separated before the altercation turned physical.
Watch the confrontation, as aired by the Young Turks, below.

Inching across a field littered with Vietnam war-era bombs, Ngoc leads an all-women demining team clearing unexploded ordnance that has killed tens of thousands of people -- including her uncle.
"He died in an explosion. I was haunted by memories of him," Le Thi Bich Ngoc tells AFP as she oversees the controlled detonation of a cluster bomb found in a sealed-off site in central Quang Tri province.
More than 6.1 million hectares of land in Vietnam remain blanketed by unexploded munitions -- mainly dropped by US bombers -- decades after the war ended in 1975.
At least 40,000 Vietnamese have since died in related accidents. Victims are often farmers who accidentally trigger explosions, people salvaging scrap metal, or children who mistake bomblets for toys.

Chief Justice John Roberts issues New Year’s Eve warning to stand up for democracy
In a progressive welcoming move, Chief Justice John Roberts issued his New Year's Eve annual report urging his fellow federal judges to stand up for democracy.
"In our age, when social media can instantly spread rumor and false information on a grand scale, the public's need to understand our government, and the protections it provides, is ever more vital," he wrote. "We should celebrate our strong and independent judiciary, a key source of national unity and stability."

Trump’s next 100 days will dictate whether he can be re-elected or not — here’s why
According to CNN pollster-in-residence Harry Enten, Donald Trump's next 100 days -- which could include an impeachment trial in the Senate -- will hold the key to whether he will remain president in 2020.
As Eten explains in a column for CNN, "His [Trump's] approval rating has been consistently low during his first term. Yet his supporters could always point out that approval ratings before an election year have not historically been correlated with reelection success. But by mid-March of an election year, approval ratings, though, become more predictive. Presidents with low approval ratings in mid-March of an election year tend to lose, while those with strong approval ratings tend to win in blowouts and those with middling approval ratings usually win by small margins."
