  • haha shamelessly surfing facebook :D

  • Ladies & Gentlemen, Allan West, the GOP's House (of Representatives) Negro.

  • ...

  • haha!! facebook at work @2.45!!seams im not the only one to bunk on work :)

  • This West is a devil dog.....oreo cookie, a house negro and an example of a sell out! This guy is an Israeli firster, a brown nose for the Israeli war machine. The only thing Black about West is his shoes. A souless bratha who can't dance.

  • And there's an Allen West ad at the side of the video... lol

  • The oldest trick in the book ''you took it out of context'',[bill o reilly]

  • TYT is nothing more than a gimmick of the MSM.

  • @PROSNIPERDAN221 How can you say that? lol

  • fb profile creeping around 2:40

  • Most people who mention the constitution don't know anything about it. Allen West is no exception to this rule.

  • first of all, he said get the message out yung turds. and if you watched his whole speech you would probably learn something.

  • @mvan367 Learning something from Allen West would certainly be something.

  • Jayar; 2:25 -2:50 person on facebook lol

  • wow, what an ass

  • Sound bite, talking point, sound bite, talking point,sound bite, talking point,sound bite, talking point,sound bite, talking point,sound bite, talking point,sound bite, talking point,sound bite, talking point,sound bite, talking point,sound bite,

  • can these guys please stop putting misleading headlines on their videos to trick people into viewing them!!!!??? just put young turks in the title so i will know not to click on it

  • @latinasdoitbetter1 Can't you read "By TheYoungTurks" under the title?

  • @JeffandTaylorComic its much smaller print than the title kid; it would be more honest if they would be upfront about the video rather than mislead to attract viewers. just saying they arent to be trusted...

  • Minimum wage is ~17$ and unemplyment is "relatively" low.. its not perfect and we complain alot coz thats what healthy, educated people do, else nothing gets better and often things get worse.. never stop complaining ;)

  • Im amazed that Americans pay 30% in taxes, I thought it was alot less.. you get basically nothing for that 30% :(

    I pay ~35% after deductibles and that pays for top notch healthcare (2nd and 3rd doctors oppinions and specialist treatment outside the country).. Its pays for not having any homeless people in the streets, its pays for education (including higher education like the universities, you just have to be smart and hardworking to qualify, not rich) and alot of other good stuff.

  • He's an asshole, and she's one bad chic that doesn't play around, I hate to say it but he's an Uncle Tom

  • damn that's what they need all those computers for to lurk peeps on the facespace

  • West is a class a Asshole and all round douche bag. Nuff said.

  • it would be nice if the young turks put their name in the title of their videos, rather than trying to mislead us so they get more views. that way we would know not to waste our time clicking on their links

  • "Of couuuurse it's about race!" Give me a break. Calling Obama the Food Stamp President is politics. It has nothing to do about race! Cenk blames West for not answering the question, but he does way worse: from a simple criticizable comment, Cenk went all out calling the Representative a corporate whore. What does that have to do with anything?

    So what Bush gave more, proportionally speaking, food stamps? That merely makes him bad too, and gives no excuse to the Obama administration.

  • Sorry Cenk, but Obama does the same thing.

  • If we can't generate enough revenue to balance the budget at around 30% in taxes, how would a 15% flat tax help? Clearly that would make things worse. I don't know what happened to America : people don't want to pay their fair share of taxes - they want the gov to pay them (like GE at zero percent, some other companies at negative tax rates)

  • Comment removed

  • Obama spent millions in Libya and Bush Billions in Iraq, or perhaps trillions is a closer amount. So please, no more nonsense from the WMD heads.

  • Comment removed

  • @latinasdoitbetter1 : You mean you are allergic to facts, and would rather suck down the WMD lies from FOX news. Cause it makes you feel better.

  • Comment removed

  • West is such a fucking joke. The kind of person who gets to where he is by kissing ass 24/7.

  • What a joke this t-party guy! Paahhh!!

  • Nancy Pelosi isn't a fraud? U don't think NP protects her 1% buddies? U r thick as a brick. Get a clue. Anyone who still believes that there is a difference between the 2 control arms of global capital in the USA- Demonocraps & Reptillians-is a complete DOLT. U people in the media should be ashamed. Obama & Bush r 2 sides of the same dime. The media is a giant enabler of TYRANNY! Obama is a british subject & is probably an operative created by DADDY BUSH. Green is the only 'race' of the ELITE!

  • But they should get the hell out of the United States. So What's the problem?

  • Ron Paul for President, Allen West for Vice

  • Solidad is dumb as a rock.

  • Free Market is code speak for Free to exploit .

  • @restlesspride666 that's what government is for, too bad ours is a failure.

  • I like the person on facebook when they cut to Jayar.

  • 11 million over 8 years during Pres Bush vs. 13 million over 3 years under president Obama

  • What the hell is on the comp behind cenk? And was one of the production people surfing Facebook when the cam cut to jayar?

  • As if getting food stamps is shameful? Heaven fricking forbid people get FUCKING FOOD STAMPS so they can FUCKING EAT!!! Got to hell West and all corporatist 1% whores!

  • @marcostar57 Who needs facts when you have cutesy cliches?

  • @tctheunbeliever The only "cutesy cliches" come from West and his fellow right-wing nutcases.. you included?

  • @marcostar57 Cutesy cliches like Food Stamp President and Obamacare. Try the decaf.

  • @tctheunbeliever You got me confused with somebody else, pal .. lay off the booze.

  • @marcostar57 The point is I was agreeing with you, dumbass.

  • @Zentz29 NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

  • Cenk Uygur quit pushing this bullshit that there's a damn difference between the two parties! It's old already! They have past bill after bill that has completely destroyed this country.. PERIOD! Both parties passed NDAA, Patriot Act, Bank bail-outs. Both parities support Home Land Security, TSA, More wars, More government control and less freedoms for the people.

    Are you actually sitting there saying that 40% increase of people on food stamps is ok? The last two presidents are f'n CRIMINALS.

  • @FreedomFighter357 True, both parties share blame for all that -- BUT we do have Right-wing EXTREMISTS like West who if given the chance would tell progressives to leave the country or worse. It's true bullshit.

    And I want "more gov't control" of the banks, don't you?!

  • @marcostar57 The Banksters need to be run out of this country on a rocket to the f'n moon! However, no meaningful regulations will ever be put in place in regards to banking, because the bankers OWN our politicians completely. We had laws in place already, but Greenspan spent the better part of his career working to remove Glass-Steagall and did just that in 1999 under Clinton. Our options are looking very grim at the moment. continue....

  • @marcostar57 We must end the corrupt federal reserve banking system or NOTHING else will matter. As long as a small group of evil men control our currency they will continue to force-feed us this corrupt, debt-driven, monetary system that we currently operate under. a.k.a fractional reserve banking. The Bank of International Settlements is currently sitting on a ticking time-bomb of fraudulent derivatives valued around $700,000,000,000,000+. When that bubble pops, it's game over!

  • I can't stand how Allen West keeps talking about supporting the Constitution when he continues to piss all over it. Mr West, when you vote in favor of the unconstitutional bill like the Patriot Act and the NDAA bill you become an enemy of the USA. So, take your own advice and follow Obama and his cronies right the hell out of this country!!

    Wake up people, there is no left vs right, These assholes in Washington are all on the same page... this crap he's pulling is nothing more then theater!

  • I use to be a bought & paid for politician, then I took an arrow in the knee...

  • 2:29 i wonder if he got in trouble for being on facebook at work

  • CLEVELAND BROWN JR...

  • I agree with the points Cenk and Jayar made, but on the whole "did you read the whole thing" it has a point. News channels always want to grab tiny snippets of things out of context just to make headlines and get viewers, rather than covering real news. It's lazy journalism which is a problem. Allen West is wrong here, but don't bash the "read the whole thing" defence, because normally it stands up against reporters.

  • Comment removed

  • Is someone on facebook at work O.o.........I so want to work for TYT

  • Jayar at the end! HA! XD

  • He's a frog!!!

  • the black adam west

  • What's strange is where I'm from is gerrymandered between Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Allen West. Wasserman-Schultz truly represents the area I'm from, not West (who also represents the rich-by-association gentiles of West Palm Beach).

  • IT'S OFFICIAL: ANONYMOUS HAS JUST EXPOSED RON PAUL AS AN UNDERCOVER WHITE SUPREMICIST !! THEY HAVE HIS PHONE RECORDS THE WHITE SUPREMICIST GROUP THAT IS BACKING HIM ETC.

  • @cityking9ne Please please link me if this is true!

  • Soledad knew what time that was West said he want her to come down to Florida. She said, HELL NO!!!

  • 41 MILLION people on food stamps? Are you fool shitting me? 41 million people don't have enough money to buy food? Fucking food?

    What the hell is wrong with you people.

  • When Cenk said Allen West came out, I immediately thought Allen West announced he was gay.

  • Does Allen West even know what's in the Federalist papers?

  • There doing th news and some asshole is on facebook! LOL

  • When I see these Tea Party republicans, I am reminded of what happened during the great depression when we had ultra-nationalists and communist parties rise in popularity and power. These republicans seem to represent the nationalists.

  • West is a traitor to his people. He has gone over to the Imperialist Bourgeoise.

  • All i see is ignorant comments about West saying " I hate him, another dumb black Republican idiot, etc.." All this liberal rhetoric. Hell, I would not mind Pelosi and her ideas out of this country. If this is news to liberals and a way to vent their frustration for their president, i find it humorous. Allen west said what many fear to say because of blind fellowship. Wake up people, Obama is making the U.S. a second tier country.

  • @michellekwan483 So are you missing Bush?

  • @pacemaker2point0 hell yeah I am. I would take him over Obama. He did not try to divide America like Obama's agenda has.

  • @michellekwan483 Do you remember the way the US was PRIOR to Obama? How can you possibly claim that he divided an already divided America?

  • No, Cenk. You didn't go too far. That fool is as Uncle Tom as you get!

  • 3:32 Hahahahahah

  • Comment removed

  • Uncle Tom the Token-West is one of the Whores being Pimped by the Repubs!

  • "Am i going too far Jayar?" HA HA

  • I see Ana looking at me from the background 00:01

  • ok, so I'm not a fan of Republicans either, but notice the 5 million person gap in the CNN percentage clip. They show 2001 to 2008. But then in "the start" of 2009 there's five million more people than the previous year. Soooooo... what year did those people apply for food stamps? 2008 or 2009? It make a difference in the percentage.

  • @loafmasta87 Those are aggregates. There's nothing about "the start" of 2009, as you put it. There's the '01-'08 stat and the '09 to '11 stat. The additional 5 million applied in 2009. I'm not understanding why you're confused. What, exactly, are you trying to ask?

  • @xJoeEDangerouslyx In 2008 there was 28 million, then in 2009 there was 33 million. Where did the other five million come from? That's my question. If food stamp recipients numbered 28 million one year then 33 million the next that's obviously an increase. Where you count that 5 million affects the percentage they're showcasing. If in fact there were 33 mil in 09 when he took office, then the 08 stats is off.

  • @xJoeEDangerouslyx They're only giving "credit" for Bush's increase up to 28mil and Obama starting at 33mil. That's a 5mil discrepancy. You have to account for that in someone's percentage.

  • this stupid mother fucker Allen West is contradictign EVERYTHING he said in his Whacko ass speach!!! This is further proof that theRepublicans that are leading the party are far right wing and stupid..Whatever happened to the Reagan republicans? Allen West flipped it by saying he wants to fight the bankers..what a joke!!

  • Isn't Allen West the name of the crazy mayor in Family Guy?

  • @JoelsGirlfriend that is mayor adam west. he is based on the actor who played batman in the 60s.

  • @LightoftheFather damn, it would have been funny if they did have the same name.

  • lmao Cenk "Am I going to far Jeyar?". If the guys an "uncle tom" call him an uncle tom! You are 100% right on this one and "We" aint mad at ya ;-)

  • If Soledad is so hot, I wanna know what Solemom looks like!

  • Allen West is a war criminal. Pass it on!

  • Soledad = cool name

  • Is this your excuse for taking hundreds of quotes out of context over the years?

  • If you go back to the speach, you will find that Col. West said for their ideas to get out of the U.S.

    You guys really need to go back to the 3rd grade for a reading lesson.

  • you bunch of fucking idiots. Crtisizing a real american hero and positive role model like West while following everything this subversive Cenk says. Pathetic.

    (I do not read replies, so don't bother. )

  • @silvermillionaire "I'm afraid of criticism for my incredibly ignorant comments, so don't reply to me."

    That's exactly what you sound like to everyone here.

  • @silvermillionaire Oh, I will bother, and exscind all of your nonsensical comments into a vacuous oblivion. It is ostentatiously censurable to spew unfounded admonishments without proper elaboration. You are obviously a viewer of FOX News =/.

  • @silvermillionaire

    Yeah, how dare they criticize him for sucking up to corporate America?!

  • jayar at the end! lol

  • AND checkin out his friend pictures... wish we cud do that Shit at work..on camera too..Haha.

  • Haha @2:25.. dude updating his status "live" in camera. Lol

  • I would trade every potential democratic victory this fall just to vote that mother fucker out of office and out of the country. I can't stand his ass.... And up date your hair cute you piece of fucking shit. You aim't in the military any more west cause they kicked your crazy ass out.

  • I love how she shut him down like... Haha, sorry eraser head I'm not going to go with you to read a damn thing. I'd much rather see you via satellite. By the way Kid from Kid n play called from 1993 and wants his hair do back.

  • soledad is so beautiful

  • fuck allen west. that is all.

  • 2:25 - 2:50

    Obviously working hard on that computer.

  • A black tea party member....wtf?

  • the guy on facebook during work is unprofessional

  • allen west is a fucking bastard

  • Who's looking at facebook on that laptop?? - Is that Ana??

  • God this guy is such an idiot, I really hope the good people of Florida do not re-elect him.

  • @clockworkscott I am a conservative but this man is violent. His violent behaviour made him leave the military and his violent rhetoric when campaigning against his opponent for the congressional seat was also questionable. He also used very abusive and threatening language towards a congresswoman almost challenging her to fight him not so long ago. I think he misunderstands that he just needs to be strong not barbaric to get Republican votes and yes I hope he is replaced as well.

  • Allen West is dumb ass

    Fact

  • i like frank west

  • Good response from Soledad on that one. Don't let any ignorant politician bully you when asked about their actions.

  • Allen West is a joke. 

  • So stupid !these republicans get away with so much next thing you know theyll be giving retarded answers and people will just take it. Solidad: "so why did you call Obama the food stamp president?"

    West: "well you see solidad, I like cheese"

  • I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!

  • Okay the food stamp thing is retarded. I'm no fan of Bush, but 11 million from 2001 to 2008 versus 13 million from 09 to 11 is a huge difference, even if the percentages are smaller, it's only for part of term versus 2 bush terms, and it takes more to move that percentage due to the larger initial value.

  • @TarvisMD Then another criticism would be Obama has done nothing to further food stamps.

  • @baigandine Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Obama was a good president, not in the least. I was pointing a misleading bit of the data presented. I'd prefer real criticisms of Obama be presented over deceptive statistics.

  • the hell kind of a name is Soledad?

  • @WarThug13 A beautiful name. A city in California. Means "Solitude" or "loneliness" in Spanish.

  • @zereoue Yet it reminds me of the sun, "sol." And what the hell kind of name is "Solitude"?

  • @Hammerhead547 - you wrote: Allen West isn't so much Dilbert...

    Your right. But it's the right hair do. Politics are the place for people like him though. People who never need to make a sound argument but just rally the mob. He's good at that. I'm quite honestly ashamed of Florida. Sad excuse for a bunch of old and poor conservatives who must vote against their own interests -- no matter what.

  • :36 fucking reporters need to grow balls and stop bending over for politicians

  • @BoredLikeHelI its a woman, you expect a woman to grow balls?

  • Cenk is right.. Allen West is a FRAUD.....

  • @MrRasheed7 Batman is a fraud? What?

  • @SunZen Batman is a fraud. You didn't know that? Man, people need to wake up already.

  • is that ana checking her facebook?

  • The only way to get a straight answer out of West is to do what he did to that detainee in Iraq.

  • 2:30 Facebook at work. :)

  • Ana is watching you Cenk, beware!

  • look at Anna's face on the monitors in the background

  • Went and listened to the whole speech. Not much to it. Yep, he told them to take their,whatever,and get the hell out of the USA. So, yeah, nice attempt at deflect Mr. West. Didn't work.

  • Why is Anna's face on the computer behind Cenk?

  • I wonder if any of the occupiers will clean up enough to get elected to congress?

  • 2:25 - facebooking is not working, whoever you are!

  • did anyone else notice that the TYT monitors were on facebook?

  • @hursh4 I did notice that and was forming a comment when I saw yours. I guess they aren't that busy when Cenk is actually on the air.

  • @hursh4 slacking on the job!

  • @hursh4 LOL.. I saw. Slacking off looking at pics,

  • @hursh4 and?

  • @hursh4 that's Michael Shure's personal PC. Yes. Noticed.

  • Alan West is a jerk. I think he meant to "take their MESSAGE and get the hell out of the United States." Not an exact quote, but I think he meant to get their message out of here. He should be explaining it that way instead of being hostile to reporters.

  • He just remind me so much of the white racist at the time.....

  • In Europe, we could never get so many wankers like that in out government...

  • These fucktards are childish beyond belief. They make these inane statements and then when pressed to explain their dumbass comments, they cry foul and play victim.

  • @sammyjs1983 lolwhut

  • Hahahahahahahahaha

    You went too far, when you asked Jayar, if you went too far.

    :D

    just sayin'.. and kinda kiddin'

  • He should get the FUCK OUT of America! Cenk is wrong about this one though! DUH he is paid to represent the RICH his district is the richest in the country! So technically in an represenative democracy you vote your constituents interests!

  • TYT can suck....keep bitching....Capitalism will forever rule and the hard working intelligent people will alway succeed!!!! Came to this country with no money and no in med school....hard work and determination!!!! TYT go to my socialist country and youll see what socialism gets you...poor and shitty

  • There is some serious Facebook stalking going on during this video O_o

  • Lol look at the guy on facebook

  • Obama might not be the Food Stamp President but he sure as hell is the Unemployment Benefit President.
