Comedian David Feldman (Writer: Bill Maher, Daily Show & Much More)

[radioamor]

"Impotent racists"

David Feldman, spot-on as usual. Always look forward to his show on KPFK.

[bademoxy]

typical political partisan stupidity "maher's gone to the dark side" because he ain't a marxist? holy shit young turks, why don't you reopen some of stalin's old concentration camps?no wait! i think the chinese still run some "reeducation centers"where you can send the majority of your fellow american neighbors.

so anyone who doesn't agree with this piece of shit guest is considered hateful. why the fuck is he not exercising his right to migrate his ass out?

[fieldingmellish44]

@bademoxy Practice what you preach, sir.

[GennaSt]

If you were right about Arianna Huffington, who else are you right about?

[buckeyefan05]

Well considering that the Arianna Huffington just sold the "Huffington Post" to AOL for $315 Million Dollars now this seems pretty spot on. There goes my account on that blog.

[Iceber9]

I wonder how people feel now. lol

[noellennon]

This Feldman guy is a moron.

[Arkayem]

Huffinton is right about everything now, just because she is liberal now? (not saying that her past views are justified) Idk, something about that seems off...

[Sage80]

These people are despicable human beings. The left needs to reserve the Hitler card for people who actually liquidate 6 million Jews. Otherwise, they diminish the holocaust.

[Sage80]

What a tool. Foxnews robot. The only robots are these idiotic obamabots. Miller is still moderate on most social issues, if not liberal. But if you stray on ANY one issue to these goons, you become a robot. Never seen such lockstep in politics.

[olywood9]

"I believe everyone in the world is either good or evil" ....loon!

[jasrogg]

[mrhoan]

obama says something like open up talks with iran (genious!!) but then spends 800 billion?! every REDERAL RESERVE dollar causes americans debt to the country's money making. they're robbing us?! noone's got it right? how could we when we're all soooo segregateed WITHIN OUR HUMAN RACE!! the truth, find it. little bit here, little bit there. u have a duty to the race

[mrhoan]

it's not from seperating ourselves from the rich and powerfull (as evil as they are) but when THE WORLD'S HUMANS demand the truth and the power back.. thru connecting!! that's how the world'll change. forget everything they taught you!! this is going to happen! they have to kno it! we, the enslaved, need to realize the most powerful tool known to man is our mind!! it doesnt become a matter of hope but a matter of time. free thinking, crazy huh?

[sootcase]

Huffington (as Stassinopoulos ) was president of the Cambridge Union, not Oxford.

[costasra]

Don't get 3 children if you can't pay for them.

Dennis Miller wouldn't be funny if he was left wing either.

[PurushaDesa]

"A repository for impotent racists."

UMPH! I hate the GOP and even I felt that gut punch.

[fathead8489]

David Feldman is 100% right on everything he says.

[ben2point0]

Ya Jimmy Carter was on the fucking money with that speech 17:20 

[bigge525]

Two words for Mr. Feldman. George Carlin. He was 10 times more intelligent and entertaining than 5 Dennis Miller's combined. Dennis Miller sucked before, and is even worse now. Fuck Dennis Miller.

[ben2point0]

@bigge525

George Carlin is not funny. Being utterly pessimistic and cynical about everything and calling it comedy is stupid.

[Zoidborg1]

bill clinton was a reagan

[ebertnroeper]

interesting stuff on Arianna.

[atheoexistentialist]

This is a great interview that shows why TYT is so great. They are not afraid of controversy or shaking the political, economic, and cultural boat.

[dizzymasekela]

I love Bill Clinton, but he totally fucked up welfare by listening to Republicans. Molly Ivins was right she called it welfare deform.

[ComedyJesus]

The David Feldman Podcast RULES. Glad TYT had him on.

[thejobloshow]

This guy reads way too much into many things - but he's funny and interesting as hell.

[nuumskee]

please bring him back on now!!!!!!!!! David feldman was the most interesting interview i've seen in a good while!

[scantronbeats]

Could you have him on again with the same 3 people? This was the most interesting TYT interview because of so much dissent among liberals of varying ideas and opinions. It is funny how the most left was seated on the left, Cenk the most moderate in the middle, and the most moderate person on the right. This could be a spin-off show!

[Thagros]

@scantronbeats

Good call.

[Riselikethetide]

Clinton was a bad President? Okay now that's just nonsensical. I think he was a flawed progressive, I blame him for DOMA and DADT but he was an incredible President, he had the courage of his opinions.

[Riselikethetide]

He became gay? Are you kidding me?

[redmondd15]

Cenk, what the hell? This guy is clearly not all there, don't you guys do pre-interviews? He doesn't have a clue. His credibility was shot when he asked "Why should a mother of 3 have to work". This is America, and fortunately or unfortunately everyone has to earn their keep. Could you imagine if every mother who had three or more kids never had to work. What about single dads? Do they get to not work because they have 2 raise kids? Get a grip man... wakey wakey eggs and bacy, SNAP OUT OF IT

[HashRash87]

@redmondd15 I think what he meant by that statement was "Why should a mother of 3 have to work... if you really are so pro Family Values® as you say you are?", i.e. I think it was a stab at Republicans.

[BOZ11]

@redmondd15 suppose they're young kids, who looks after those 3 kids when the mother's out working?

[chenalos]

Clinton ruined Hollywood?

Halle-fucking-lujah.

Get that man another blowjob.

[gwengoad]

She should burn in hell if that is what she did

[audadvnc]

I love liberal comics saying other people should burn in Hell! But I like his comments about Limbaugh - and Clinton (NAFTA 1992). He's completely wrong about Obama - the Presidents is a cog in the machine.

[boiiinng]

I figured out Limbaugh a long time ago. It may have something to do with all that, but look at his family history. His father, grandfather, great-grandfather and I think even an uncle were all big-time US judges. He didn't follow in the family tradition. Don't tell me he didn't get major flack for that during his whole life. Of course, I'm not defending him because of that, I'm just saying it isn't all sexual deviance.

[aaronsande]

OK don't be a true Socialist, Feldman! "Why should a mother of 3 kids have to work?"

For fuck's sake, why should ANYONE have to work? What a ridiculous stance!

[BOZ11]

@aaronsande assuming she's a single mother and there's no father around, who looks after the kids when the only parent is out working?

[aaronsande]

@BOZ11 Who looks out for my kids when we both work? Should one parent always not work? As an argument against having to work for a living, your points constitute a straw man.

N.B. This isn't actually my situation, but it might be one day.

[sugarmountain560]

fact: Rush Limbaugh has a radio show

speculation: Rush is an angry man because hes impotent

fact: Ariana Huffington founded a newspaper

speculation: Ariana did it to get back at her ex husband and has been faking her liberalism for years

Even if there is some truth in what he is saying he doesnt KNOW these things and therefore cant go around stating them as fact, while disregarding others opinions. Righteous prick.

[JM111787]

WOW that david does not pull punches! This was an interesting interview but, Cenk, i worried this guy is going to get The Young Turks sued for slander.

[ShadowWolf346]

He makes some valid points but surrounding those valid points are ignorant bullshit that just confuses me.

[BMWizardofOz]

great interesting interview, thanks

[Key2daUnderground]

I not once have ever found Dennis Miller funny, not now, not ever.

[kurd55]

Great interview! To me, Arianna Huffington and her ilk, are rich people FIRST, and liberals second.

[dontliethetruth]

i think feldman is totally right... clinton to me was a continuation of reagan

[sugarmountain560]

this guy has no supporting evidence for his statements and yet he states them as if they're facts

[kurd55]

@sugarmountain560 Seemed like he backed he thoughts up pretty well to me. When someone mocks a persons deities they tend to tune out. Therefore, perhaps you should listen again.

[sugarmountain560]

@kurd55 I don't think so. He acted as if he completely knew the psychology of Rush Limbaugh and Ariana Huffington. Psychoanalysis is not a science to begin with and yet he stated his own subjective thoughts on their psychologies as if they were fact. Righteous douche, not to mention him completely disregarding the opinions of the other two.

Douche bag bag to Cenk " You're free to be wrong."

What a goofy guy.

[kurd55]

@sugarmountain560 I disagree. You don't have to use any psychology to make character judgments on Ru$h and the "old" Arianna. She was the lowest of the low racist, scumbag conservatives around before her poopy-prancing hubby came out--that's justs a fact--she was every bit as bad Ru$h. And pig-boy was busted with a gallon jar of illegal Viagra when he went on a 3rd-world fuck-spree. FYI--Viagra is for puds that won't putt. Facts are facts. It's simple a priori knowledge---NOT psychology.

[blondefun]

Feldman may be crazy but that doesn't mean he isn't right. Pretty funny. My husband loves him.

[WesSideCali]

i personally dont belive in the whole good v evil thing. I think its more of an informed v uninformed.

[TheJillread]

This guy ,Feldman , is an idiot . I lean to the lft , but this guy is falling out of the chair lft .

[Bigleg75]

This guy is interesting to listen to, but I doubt quite a bit of what he says.

[upplsuckimcool16]

I don't know man this guys seems like a lunatic with a smart person costume......

[AnarchoHumanist]

Please have Feldman back!

[christmasdnc]

Bring this guy back! Great argument shit BRING HIM BACK

[fluffyfuzzbox]

JOE BIDEN lookalike!

[xeniphide]

Clinton was better than Obama.

[Fangtorn]

Was he a comedian?

[sonofsarek]

He loves Obama? Obama is to the right of the Conservative party in England. He's a puppet - a worthless, spineless coward.

[jimmybrite]

People can be really stupid.

[jasrogg]

@sonofsarek youre right however i would encourage you to listen to the david feldman podcast its really grat also try mar marons wtf podcast but you are right Obama is an abortion

[mino210]

@sonofsarek i really hate to agree with u buttttttt. man did he suck republicans dick on healthcare

[babyranks4]

@sonofsarek True but he's so charismatic and it's hard for people to see it. :(

[Heifsin85]

@sonofsarek I think you are getting confused with England being out puppet.

[jimbobjimminy]

As an Oxford student, I need to correct something. Ariana Huffington went to CAMBRIDGE and was President of the Cambridge debating society.

She wouldn't have been good enough for the hallowed lawns of Oxford :)

[zaggers77]

I'm a lib but this guy is far left.

[VivaArsenal4]

@zaggers77 he makes an interesting point though. why do we spend trillions on the drug war and on military action all over the world, when we could use that money to make sure that every mother can stay home to raise their children. isn't that exactly what conservatives say they are for? instead, we are having to work more and more hours to pay the bills.

[zaggers77]

Well first off I do agree with some of what he says. But he's supporting Obama blindly. Obama has done nothing to stop the bankers from robbing us. Also welfare is fine but you have to stop the mothers from having children they can't afford.

Also incentive does come into play. A lot of poor people get just enough money to survive and they have a choice, either work a job that pays barely enough to survive or get welfare and stay at home with their kids and barely survive.

[bamboo4tameshigiri]

That sounds like very solid psychoanalysis. I had no idea of her history.

[wongdor]

i think this guy makes a lot of absolute statements based on assumptions which have no right being turned into absolute statements

[FDASARO]

great conversation but feldman is way too left for me and falsely characterized welfare reform and Clintonian policies

and please, we're far far from a Depression

[111PAUL1]

Cenk is such a funny, bright and skillful compere. the BBC should give him a show covering America.

[TillThenPlease]

Really enjoyed this! Love the differing opinions. Super interesting.

[peerenboom77]

Have Feldman back. This was good conversation.

[jo05dk]

Interesting interview. I wish the guy would have supported his statements with proof, but still.. He rattled the TYT and Michael Shure cage, and it was worth watching.

[dEdGrimley]

And I DO remember the old Comedy Central spiel - Al Franken and Arianna Huffington, "Strange Bedfellows", wherein Al Franken was the Liberal Democrat, and Arianna Huffington was the Conservative Republican.

[dEdGrimley]

Didn't this guy just pop up on Last Comic Standing? That's the problem I have with that show... I've been seeing David Feldman for years, on Comedy Central, etc., and he's trying to start a career, and as we see, he's had his fair share.

Dennis Miller IS a very good comedian. And I don't think it's unfortunate that he has an opinion different than my own, I think Jon Stewart et al need some competition. Glenn Beck ain't cuttin it.

[BlizzMedia]

This is way to speculative. He doesn't support his theories very well at all. I'm not convinced. He should probably stick to being a comedian.

[dEdGrimley]

@BlizzMedia

I agree with where you're coming from, and it's good that you, and others who might say this, keep his feet to the fire. That being said, I think he makes decent arguments, but they're not logical or well supported. I'm inclined to agree with him on a lot of it, not really the more scathing comments, but a lot, and I think he's at least raised issues and ideas that people don't usually talk about, but should. Bringing in psychology is a good call.

[harr77]

Great insight on Miller and Huffington good interview.

[kaptainkool408]

One of the most interesting conversations I've heard in quite a while. I don't agree with most of Feldman's assumptions regarding Clinton and Arianna Huffington but I do myself question how a women married to such a right wing nut suddenly changed her ideology in such a short period of time. On Clinton he's just dead wrong, yes free trade act with China was all bad but come on, to say CLINTON was an extension of Reagan! That's JUST BAT SHIT LUDACRIS!

[theogore]

Sorry. Dennis Miller is NOT the funniest....

Me thinks Feldman still has to pull for him based on history alone.

[CrossMarksman]

I like this guy.

[OccamsView]

At 8:37 Feldman asks Cenk, "does [Arianna Huffington] pay her bloggers [on the Huffington Post] ?". If the Huffington Post receives income from the ads posted alongside those unpaid blogs, then Yes Arianna should pay those bloggers a reasonable proportion of that income. If there are no paid ads in those columns, and their blogs don't generate additional click-through traffic to other pages on the site, then No they don't deserve to be paid.

[Decentralism]

wow wow wow, straw mannin' like a bitch "how do you tell a mother ... to go get a job" Right, people aren't working.. thats why people against welfare are against welfare. It has nothing to do with macro incentives and human action...

[mistacramer]

I remember this guy, he's funny and I agree with most of what he says here. DML was such a sharp and funny show, but Miller sadly just turned into a Beck/Limbaugh conservative troll.

[Epicsaursus]

Clinton is the one who got us hooked on Chinese shit. That is something I agree with him 100% on, clinton ruined america

[TheHobgoblyn]

I think this must be one the most bitter, angry and extremely opinionated guests they've ever had on the show. It's like this guy can only see in black and white without any appreciation of the subtlities or being able to look at the spectrum of a person's acts unless he knows them personally.

[TheGiantRobot]

I think Clinton did ruin America. He set up the stock bubble and housing bubble, with the help of Greenspan. He made greater tax cuts for the wealthy than Bush did. Clinton started it and Bush finished it.

But welfare isn't the solution, it's a way to pacify the left, another bandaid, like affirmative action. The solution is to have 100% progressive taxes without loopholes, fully and equally fund the schools, punish exporting of jobs instead of rewarding it - you know, true liberal stuff.

[SinisterSkip]

14 trillion debt?

14.000.000.000.000

Holy damn!

[clockworkscott]

this guy is amazing!

[FMoradipour]

Carter lost because of the hostage crisis.

[fret2424]

I tried to listen to Dennis Miller's radio show, it it was just cheap, and non-nonsensical. I got about 15 minutes and I had to switch the station. He maybe funny in person, but his show is weak.

Clinton did some bad things:

•Eliminating the Glass-Steagull act.

•Free trade with Chine

•Telecommunications Act of 1996 (deregulated radio)

•Deep water Royalty Reduction Act of 1996

[superdragoncat]

really interesting interview

[PizzahutCrocodile]

this was great.

[kazooga1234]

think about this republicans have vengense in them and they will do whatever it takes to get the revenge they want/need and its easier to fake being good then it is to be evil caz u dont want to fake being evil or else u will be seen as a horrible person and u want to be pretending to be good its so much easier

[restlesspride666]

@kazooga1234 :] You hit the nail on the head. But that is only the surface.

[kazooga1234]

@restlesspride666 ya i no i fucking live with republicans my entire life i no its just the surfaces its also all i could fit in 1 youtube comment

[Richardgwm]

Rush Limbaugh is gay. The Dominican Republic is known for its sex tourism catering to gay men. Rush is a gay man who prefers black men.

[Reqrezentin]

Denmark beat Cameroon and sent them home.

YUBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
