Chicago Tea Party - Rick Santelli's Revolution on CNBC

[eulogyforanelephant]

pure genius: defraud investors and pensioners at the expense of the future ability of firefighters and teachers to be able to feed themselves, get a slap on the wrist from the SEC, enjoy a flood of risk-free cash from the fed with taxpayers on the hook for any losses, and laugh all the way to the bank at us mere mortals and "bolsheviks" while state governments across the nation scramble to auction off their infastructure to the private sector.

enjoy those extended tax breaks. you earned them

[edawg00]

The Tea Party needs some strong leadership like Mr Santelli

[wijse]

@edawg00 Sounds like you have never heard about Ron Paul. Santelli is just saying stuff Ron Paul has said his whole life.

[RodCornholio]

OBAMA = BUSH

↑ THAT is why people are pissed!

[PashaRabit]

You need to start reading. Under Bush we had solid growth for almost the entire time--until Nazi Pelousy got control of the house and started scattering taxpayer dollars like clover seeds. Bush strengthened our military, bo crushes it. Bush fought our enemies and stood with our allies, bo disses our allies and sucks off our enemies--and they laught at him.

bo's sheep, wake up....the man can't even read histeleprompter properly.

[Mcfunmom]

HEY GUYS!  You may find my 'right wing terrorist' spoof humorous, Type in, Right wing terrorist mommy...

[miata492]

july 4th 2009 will be the right time to start the 2nd american revolution .The seeds have been planted by the OUT OF CONTROL GOVERMENT

[valentinesday01]

thanks for giving us a day to remember Rick!

[IRSFRAUDEXPOSED]

AS CONSERVATIVES WAKE UP I PRAY YOU ALL

1. TURN OFF THE TV AND LISTEN TO REPUBLICBROADCASTING.[org and

2. GO TO LOSTHORIZONS.[com and READ CRACKING THE CODE ...LEARN HOW THE W-4 WITHHOLDING AGREEMENT CAN BE CANCELED AND FREE YOU FROM WITHHOLDING LEGALLY.

[LandofDaFree]

I saw a sign for that in the crowd at the Tea Party today. I'll check it out.

[JimmyJackJohnnyJose]

Raise the Trunk

We need to change the Republican Logo to one with our Republican Elephant's Trunk Up and furious!!!

Stomping mad!!!

"The Socialist have stirred OUR ire and "AWOKEN A SLEEPING GIANT" Invoke the WW II slogan against socialism. Socialism is a threat to WORLD FREEDOM.

Tell the world leaders to display a picture of an elephant to show support of worldwide freedom for all and show they are AGAINST ENSLAVEMENT OF ALL FREE PEOPLE.

[shadowtehpwnzor]

I hope you don't reproduce.

[KultureJamCollective]

Right wingers got us into this mess with an illegal war and by refusing oversight. Now they are trying to blame Obama for Bush's fuck ups. This douche and his rich friends helped get us into this as well.

[joemendenhall]

I wish more people would stand up and say what others won't. This guy should get a TV show or be on radio. He's fed up like a majority of Americans

[ironpeter2081]

Yes kick people out of their house. But save all the fucking banks. cnbc need to stop telling people to buy stocks also when they mostly fail.

[stang661]

His rich buddys mortgaged this mess and aren't going to take it any more!

YEAH JP MORGAN, Citi, AIG AND Bank Of America= Douchebags.

[Brett32324]

july??? might not even have that long. should make it sooner.

[visaliajade]

PLEASE find the time to join your fellow Americans in protest. Tea Parties are springing up across America and your support is greatly appreciated. Find out where and when a Tea Party is being held and SHOW UP. Millions are feeling angry and frustrated by what Obama is doing to our nation. NOW we have the chance to voice our anger. "WE'RE MAD AS HELL AND WE WON'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!" Tell your family and friends to attend your local Tea Party. Obama MUST be stopped!!

[coffeeusa]

Thank you so much.

[scotters201]

Rewarding bad behavior,this is the new american way,reward not paying your bills and buying way more house than could ever be afforded,and punish the people who are responsible with savings rate down to 1% for those saving for down payment,Mr responsible now has to bail out with his tax dollors his irresponsible neighbor who toke on way too much house debt ,who in many cases has just stopped paying his mortgage(I have a friend doing this)cause he says the goverment needs to help bail him out.

[crandleberrysadie]

what phonies! where was the 'tax payer outrage' when they banks got the bailouts? what will this a**hole have to say tomorrow when AIG reports a $60 billion loss, having already received $85 billion from the tax payers? should we just put them all out of work, let them go under? what happens with Citibank and Bank of America when they go under? should we just let them? personally, i think this jerk should STFU!!!

[JoeTheta]

I like the fact that he points out that capitalists are savy pig socialists. Bravo!! Hell, why just Chicago? Syracuse here, tea anyone? Obama's coffee is a bit too dull.

[n1bleachfreak]

capitalist and socialist are differnet things

[Lib4free]

My God, people! Think! Are you a millionaire? If yes, go ahead, vote rep. Are you gullible enough to think these people are on your side, that you and all the other blue collar workers will benefit from rep. ideology? Don't you realize you've been royally screwed by letting them transfer all the money from your pockets into their own. So who are you? Are you like them, all greed and no compassion? I guess you think you are the ones that's gonna prevent 1789...think about that

[RayGordon777]

You think socialism hurts the rich? Those bonds that pay for it are TAX FREE to teh rich investors. Who makes up that tax shortfall?

The problem with the bailouts is that they aren't letting winners win and losers lose. America is no longer a meritocracy.

[57thStateGovernor]

If you weren't motivated enough to have a Tea Party in Chicago - Obama still hasn't paid for his election night party. He owes the City of Chicago $1.7 million dollars.

This has brought more change to the city though - in our parking meters. While Obama isn't paying his bills, the city increased parking meter fees, parking garage taxes and are furloughing workers.

[1Siamese1]

America is finally waking up! We'll fight for our freedom and liberty if we have to The damage done by Obama in the last 30 days can only be rectified by an all out revolution. America are you ready?

[michigan83guerrilla]

I would love for you little crybabies to try to start a "revolution." I have a Wasr 10/63 at home that is just itching to hand out some dirt naps.

[Bertoffski86]

LOL You got the wrong folks on your side my friend. Your one of the 1 in 20 liberals that owns a gun.

[michigan83guerrilla]

Bullshit. I'm a not a liberal. I'm an American and any group of terrorists who tries to take up arms against my government should be shot.

[Bertoffski86]

I'm not trying to start a fight here, but I take it you have never read 2A in our Constitution. (2nd Amendment)

The whole point of the right to keep and bear arm is to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government.

Basically if the government grows too large and begins to strip its citizens of there; money, power, freedoms or liberty, it is not only our right, but our duty to rebel.

So I wouldn't consider us terrorists... more like Constitutionalists.

[michigan83guerrilla]

More bullshit. We have elections and the people decide how our country is run. This is not some third world country where we go to war because of election results. Like I said, if punks want to start a "revolution," I will be ready.

[Bertoffski86]

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

-Thomas Jefferson

[michigan83guerrilla]

Or refreshed with the blood of little bitches who lose an election.

Bring it.

[coffeeusa]

Amen

[killerbeau95]

All right I will bring it. I will be bring the beer then when I'm drunk I will smash it over your ugly face bitch!

Fucking liberal...I will burn you in a pit. Then put x's on your eyes. -killerbeau95

[michigan83guerrilla]

You're a good example of who will take up arms in the "revolution."

What a joke.

[wordsthatflow]

Are you stupid? Why would you think he's a liberal? He bashing Obama, he's putting down the lower middle class as losers...and he's anti goverment assistance to the people. Your more then welcome to knock out with your empty beer cans, i'm sure hurt him, but don't call him something that he's obviously bashing. He's a conservative....a piece of right trash and "we" liberals and democrats fight everyday to keep garbage like this out of real power. Know what your talking about before you post

[killerbeau95]

No, I wasnt talking about him. I was talking about some liberal who commented n this video. I fucking hate libs. and also, Obama's ratings are plummeting.

[coffeeusa]

Point well taken

[meandalton]

If you want to know why the banks were going broke - Look up the Community Investment Act that was forced down the banks throats

[McCamyTaylor]

We gave $1.2 trillion to Wall Street and the bankers and they they do not want us to help out our neighbors whom the bankers sold bad mortgages? I say send all the brokers on Wall Street to jail.

Santelli said that oil speculation was not raising oil prices. He was wrong on that, too. What an idiot---or a paid tool.

[muchbetter10]

Thank you...Thank you...

[rdstrdrvr]

Go Rick!!

[cesarr77]

AMERICA AWAKE!!! AMERICA AWAKE!!!

I am a US citizen but used to be a Venezuelan citizen. Obama is starting the same persecution and abuses against freedom of the press that the communist Hugo Chavez started 10 years ago when his government was very popular. Venezuelans let him do whatever he wanted and now a prosperous and free country is a dictatorship with a bunch of poor beggars, so used to welfare that is no way out, while the corrupt power elite consume 90% of the oil revenues.

[shootnmove]

Chavez wasnt a harvard grad ! this is all blown out of proportion

[cesarr77]

He is even more dangerous because he is smart. Castro was also an educated man.

Many people know dictators way better than the average American, unfortunately I am one of them.

As I said, America Wake Up and Preserve this beautiful republic.

[cflames10]

Oh, so Obama is more educated on the law and could more easily do what Hugo Chavez did, way to back up your argument ;).

[jaingxu]

Give power to Rick!

[catchphrasecopywrtr]

the revolution will not be televised

[markrulesallnow]

CNBC... what a suprise

[ohanasafety]

I loved hearing someone (Rick) say what I've been thinking and he did it in the perfect forum.

The plan is bad and we need to stop government spending (and I work there)

[oswhiteboy]

Thank you for speaking up for people like me

[lisas44]

THANK YOU RICK SANTELLI!!

[ronmikell14]

The only douche bag... is you fuhgdat82. I'm guessing that's your birth year... 82. Your generation of morons elected this guy.

[supersmashbros011]

When I am an adult I won't pay my mortgage so i can own a mansion that is payed for by other people

[zuzieqz]

that's the way to do it...money for nothing and chicks for free...

[SestrenNK]

You gotta love the audience. 5 stars.

[macman237]

"This guy is a douche bag. I have an idea...someone stick something in his mouth so no one has to listen to him anymore."

Typical LibNazi response--SILENCE ANY AND ALL WHO QUESTION ST. OBAMMY.

---

FUCK OBAMMY--I HOPE HE FAILS!

[1019drummer]

it's diversity like this that make us very cool.

[1019drummer]

he's rockin and rolli........look out

[BailMeOut75]

He's like a cross between Lewis Black and Harvey Levin from TMZ.

[grrgto]

Let this be known to ALL GOOD MEN:

We should all show up with our MORTGAGE PAPERS and dump them in the River!!!!!!

[russraman]

The government promoting bad behavior? How is this possible? It's not like Obama is having sex with interns (yet) and educating our children about oral sex! In less than a month he's appointed Tax Cheat Tim Geithner as Treasury Secretary, a guy who freed FALN terrorists as Attorney General, a woman whose husband received millions of dollars from unfriendly countries as Secretary of State and told us we don't have to be responsible for our mistakes. Obama is setting a great example for us!

[LandofDaFree]

We hear you, russraman. I think I'm going to stop paying my mortgage so Obama will give me more money and I can get a sweet interest rate. I'll let you guys pay for it - you can afford it.

[BatsBasilica]

GREAT video. Another one to see is Gerald Celente. Look up his interview on YouTube. It's titled "Worst Economic Collapse Ever".

[fuhgdat82]

This guy is a douche bag. I have an idea...someone stick something in his mouth so no one has to listen to him anymore.

[InvestigatorDave]

Hey Rick, Tell me when and where to be for the Tea Party! I'll be there!

[sltleovyed820]

I'M SIGNED UP

"There, his Majesty can now read my name without glasses, and he can double the reward on my head."

[LandofDaFree]

Are you figuratively signed up, or is there an actual sign-up somewhere?

[sltleovyed820]

I don't believe there is an actual sign-up yet, but promotion of the event would definitely help in the creation of one.

[Auggie56]

Tell us. Is there a place to make it known how we feel to the king ?

[sltleovyed820]

Call him, write him, write your senators and representitives. There is no other way to get your thoughts heard. These people really don't care about us, but if enough of us get in their face about it, we may be able to do some good.

[brownsugarru]

WOW...I'm in for the Tea Party...

[menana2u]

It's great that they are disputing BO, and his rotten stimulus, but where were they all before this, when we were begging that the truth be told? Only Fox reported most of it. If they had all done their jobs, he might not even be POTUS now.

I'm glad that Rick is on the bandwagon. I like him, and hopefully he is the first of many, to open their eyes and give us the facts.

Tea, anyone?

[TedinLasVegas]

Great TRUTH!!!!

BTW - The market is lower now than it ever was during Bush's term.

It took President Obama all of 1 month to be the biggest wreck in American Presidential history!

[SabreFiveFour]

Hey TedinLasVegas

If a lower market is Obama's mark of performance, then you must really think that Bush sucked, since ''he drove' the market lower 1, 2, 3, and 4 months after he was elected in 2000. Your thought is beyond idiotic. It's pathetic and reflects on your lack of ability elsewhere..

[TedinLasVegas]

Yeah, he "drove it down" all the way to 9,600 (barely 1,000 points in 4 months) or so... not 7,300 (down 1,000 points in a month)!!!

[SabreFiveFour]

Ted? You're special. Don't forget to give Obama the credit for the inevitable rally in the next few months, ok? So, then you're also ready to give Bush the blame for getting them down from 14,000 to 9,600 in barely a year, and, of course, giving Clinton the credit for driving the markets up in the first place?

[TedinLasVegas]

Wow, from 14,000 to 9.600? You're not very smart are you. Looking up the DJI online is REALLY easy; had you done that you would've seen that the DJI was 10,659 on 01/22/01 - Bush's first day - and fell to a low point of 9,823 on 03/12/01 before it climbed again.

WOW, never had someone step in it so badly before Sabre.

President's don't take the Dow up, they only take it down or slow it down. How much it goes up depends on how little they interfere.

[TedinLasVegas]

The more the government interferes with it, the worse it'll get.

On the other hand, if it does recover, it'll be because Mr. Obama grew a brain and became a conservative!!!

[TedinLasVegas]

Also, given the economic horror-story this moronic "stimulus bill" is, it'll get worse.

Some economists are expecting unemployment of 15% and double-digit deflation by the end of the year - BECAUSE of the "stimulus bill".

The reason INTELLIGENT people are upset is that we know what is coming and we're trying to get the lemmings to stop and think rather than believing in the hope of OBAMA, the messiah.

[chattingcat]

Love it. This is a great video. Thanks. Take care:)

[LandofDaFree]

I know Rick Santelli wants to dump derivative securities in Lake Michigan - but I would suggest blue kool-aid to be more environmentally conscious.

We dye the Chicago River green for St. Patrick's Day, why not?

[carlinj832000]

thank god for rick santelli!

[blackceasar6902]

Bush bails out banks and Rick is silent. Obama bails out the people and Rick goes rabid!!!

[madCB1987]

Count me in.....

looks like Obamas honeymoon is over!!!!

[carlinj832000]

seriouslly

[thbyrnes]

It sounds good, but it is a trick...

Even when you "pay-off" your mortgage you are still called a tenant... why?

CNBC is a corporation. It delivers corporate news that serves its own purpose.

None of that "news" is worth a damn.

If you ever get curious about it... study HJR 192 June 5, 1933 and the Trading with the Enemies Act of 1917

It is only a start, but you'll be heading in the right direction.

[Mistertbones]

And this is from the Liberal news media. god bless you Rick Santelli!

[TheObserver81]

I'm there.

[manyleaves]

Me Too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
