  • so messed up

  • No student at my school dares go to the bathrooms. By second hour, it's been destroyed and a Poweraid bottle has been shoved down each toilet.

  • You know there's a problem with the nations work ethic when the so-called "poor" can turn their nose up at a legitimate, paying job. Kids doing janitorial work is no more demeaning or degrading than flipping burgers at a fast food restaurant. We all started at the bottom, why is it so bad to let kids get a head start and learn young?

  • @shadowstorm1989

    It's born of a reliance on emotion rather than reason

    I would have liked to have learnt the value of money when I was younger. Do-gooders have done so much harm ..but at least they feel good.

  • Sing it brother

  • The Young Turks make me wanna puke. I love how they take the words "They can be PAYED by doing work afterschool" into "All blacks should clean the white kids turds." Pure amazement.

  • As much as I dislike Newt Gingrich, I'd have to agree with him here. There is NOTHING wrong in child labor as long as it's voluntary. If a child wants to work as an assistant janitor - why not? That's job experience and extra money that the child would not have otherwise had. In fact, why not let children work in general if their parents allow them to? Why do we need mama welfare state to tell us no?

  • @leeknivek egsactly but its not child labor if the are not being forcedand are paid at least minimuim wage

  • @270biggame Why wouldn't it be child labor? Minimum wage is irrelevant.

  • @SargentMugen two words, public library

  • Sounds like something out of Family Guy or The Simpsons. This guy is a freaking joke, I'm voting for Ron Paul.

  • Newt Gingrich is a wanker

  • they are all crooks!

  • Fuck you Newt....

  • Newt should clean toilets while he serves jail time.

    Isn't Eye of Newt an ingredient for witches' brew

  • What if Americans stop fearing tax payments for social programs (thanks to the GOP) and give all students an equal chance for failure or success?

  • BBC Panorama brought me here. Gingrich is a c**t!

  • Being born English is like winning the lotto of life,free healthcare, help paying rent, buying food, getting a job and if you are in work making ends meet. Americans, you need to sort your country out, this so-called Conservative is an embarrasment to the U.S.

  • @daruffle dont rub it in...

  • @daruffle Amen to that.

  • Worst fucking subtitles ever. These republican primary candidates are disgusting. Love from the UK!

  • I just saw this on Panorama! The bit where Cenk gets really pissed! First Ana on BBC 3 and now Cenk on BBC 1.

  • I just saw you on Panorama, Cenk.

  • You missed the part where he said sitting behind a desk doing clerical work, assistant librarian along or assistant to a janitor such as mopping the floor or cleaning the bathroom. It was never meant to have them serve rich kids as you propose I grew up in an upper middle class family where I took on the job of a waitress to earn extra money. The point he was making is that to work is good. You are really an idiot as I am sure that you probably love Obama who wants to keep the poor POOR!!!!

  • The poor in general work as jaywalking, walking the center line, red and black gang attire, saggy pants, prison neck tattoos, loud obnoxious behavior, drinking from a brown paper bag, loitering on street corners when real men are at work.

    Either put them to work or euthanize them.

  • @IndianPrince04 u mean real men stay at home and live off there riches with out any involvement in the USA instead of making up what occupations the rest of the people should have? Get involved Republicans.

  • This dumb turk geek is what's wrong with America. He is completely taking this way out of context, and I believe he is doing that on purpose. What a damn liar. He is simply talking about giving them the opportunity to earn their own money, after work. Suddenly cleaning is a bad thing? There is nothing wrong with cleaning bathrooms, sweeping floors, washing dishes... this turk dipshit needs to calm the fuck down. There is nothing wrong with doing a little work and getting paid for it.

  • why am i watching this shit... you liberals are idiots, hes trying to give poor kids a work ethic since many of them dont have parents to look up to that work. this is probebly the worst channel on youtube, you are the most bias liberal nutjob on planet earth, or whatever planet you are living on...

  • @HordeLord13 It is true that some poor kids don' have family members to look up to but Newt is making it seem like ALL poor kids have poor work ethic and thats not true. Many celebrities and millionaires oday started off in middle to lower class families and yet they were able to make it in the world because of the influence of their parents/community

  • @cd64803 i can see why you would think that hes saying that, but what this loon showed was only a piece of the actual speech. im sure if you watch the whole speech and listen carefully with an open mind you could understand hes only talking about kids who dont have parents to look up to. hes giving them a work ethic, so they can rise out of the poverty hole they are in now, without the need for government handouts which actually keep many people poor.

  • @HordeLord13 Okay, it sounds better when you explain it. I think it was the way he said it that made me feel alittle insulted cause I grew up in a similar situation. I still have somewhat of a problem with it but I understand now what he meant. Thanks.

  • Who should clean them, rich guys? LMAO. THe stupidity of the left is amazing.

  • @falcondriver100 No, they clean after themselves. Dumbass.

  • and you wanted this guy to be your next president? Holy shit LOL

  • Funny how you take his point of trying to help people by showing them work effort and twist it it into something else. He stated that most of the people he knew started work young, and he is giving examples so that people can be someone in there life. Distortion about these issues is pathetic.

  • what do you kno about being poor you turd... what kind of dick head demonizes those who are less off. I do not your brain must be deteriorating from rot

  • did anyone see at 2:06 he pulled a dildo out of his ass?

  • this scumbag is racist. its appalling to hear him stereotype all poor people. you know he meant all black and spanish people only do crimes and deal drugs. we should give him a mop and make him clean his fucking souls toilet...the racist corporate kickback taking tax money stealing insider trading corporate douchebag bitch. scary this guy had soo many supporters and was in contension for the presidency. takin us back 50 years like that. politicians are grimy

  • RON PAUL 2012

  • talk about a job and the democrat bums run. lol

  • RON PAUL ALREADY

  • wonder why theres no one around them working?because the gop took their job and sent it overseas..they dont even want to pay an adult a living wage, how much do you think they will pay kids. and businesses would be crying about having to pay someone else

  • @210daved1 i agree on child labor laws, i just wanted to share my information on gop. they did not send jobs over seas, its just cheaper to hire people overseas to do jobs that americans can do. t-shirts at wal-mart are say, 6$ for a pack of 5. if the sewing jobs were here for an american worker being paid $7.25 an hour, the same pack of shirts would be $50. people face trade offs. do we want crummy jobs that we wouldnt mind other people doing for us, or do we want $50 shirts? a trade off

  • “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you (Matthew 7:12).”

  • Stuff like this does not get enough attention. No one wants a president this ignorant.

  • He has some nerves, ignorance doesn't care who wears it, how dare he says that. I wouldn't want someone like this for president if he was the only one running.

  • I am pro black I say the same things newt says but in a different way this guy (Cenk Uygur) is a spin doctor. Newt is guilty of among other things of having no compassion. He is basically saying "get up get out and get something don't spend all your time trying to get high"

  • Newt2012

  • What happen to America ?? It put your dumb ass TV show on !!! You fucking moron. Free Free Free Free.......Try teaching kids how to work no matter what it is !!! Work Work Work !! Then America will be back !!!!!!!!!

  • He makes me sick and nauseated.

  • WOW - Why in the world would anyone listen to this guy? Are are you commentators, (YouTube Readers) buying into this BS? Ron Paul? Really? WTH? Did you vote for Obama and want this weak (whatever) to be the only opponent to Obama. RE-Read you own comments and inject Obama's name there. I've been poor. Now I work!!! TYT should be banned because its all propaganda.

  • I am a member of a family of 7 siblings, raised by a mother who worked as a custodian in the Memphis public school system, & yes received food stamps, but all of her kids hv Associates, bachelors, & Masters degrees, and so do their children, who are teachers, business owners, Registered nurses, & Engineers, & Studying to be pilots. Yes we had a hard time, but we learned a great work ethic from my mother, and did desire to do more

  • This man knows nothing, I work everyday and go to college.

    I work even on my days off, I go over to my fiancees parents

    house to cut, haul, and log wood for his grandmother. I know

    people who have it worse than me and they work their butt of

    so that they can live AND make a future for themselves.

  • Another thing is just because we're poor doesn't mean we're criminals, he says that like we're fucking criminals, dude this guy should see what it feels like being poor before criticizing it and making a final stand. It's about damn time people see him for what he really is and stop kissing up to him.

  • Please tell me Newt Gingrich on what your ideas on working should be cause, obviously you've never worked, me and my mom and my aunty are lower class please tell me how to run my life, when the person doesn't know what being poor is. I'm voting for Ron Paul, this guy is crazy.

  • @bmaloy9 You don't listen idiot ..... Vote for that idiot Ron Paul then yall could hang out together .....

  • @bmaloy9 Low-class as in "really poor?" You have access to the Internet, is it really that bad?

  • Have you ever took a bus a to college? I'm lower class and your a rich governor; that's the difference between you and me. So how do you know what's best for me? But really your saying that poor kids get everything handed to them! Have you every worked at a grocery store or work as a janitor? Why say that when you don't know what it's like.What do you know about being poor Mr. Gingrich, you're a senator; you make law. Ron Paul please win this election, I hope people see what this guy really is?

  • this goes to show that newt wont fix the economy like ron paul will, no newt will just make people work harder. what a fucking bastard ron paul 2012 everyone

  • Comment removed

  • All I can say is WTF you elitist, self- righteous, patronizing, bastard! How dare you assume that poor people are lazy. I work with kids from poor families who go to school in an educational system that LEAVES THEM BEHIND. Want to help them stay in school? Hire good teachers and guidance counselors who believe in them. Expose them to universities, and internships. Work with their community. Show them possibilities. Do NOT publicly declare that all they're good for is cleaning up shit.

  • Wise words from a wise republican who's never had to clean a toilet in his life. Because he himself knows so much about hardships that he can make such assumptions about the lower class. He truly understands what their plight is. They are lazy and don't know how to work legally. Give em all janitorial jobs and it will make them money cause there are more than enough janitorial jobs to go around!

  • PLEASE win the GOP nomination, Ron Paul... I don't want this fat POS anywhere NEAR the White House. He's a complete and utter disgrace to humanity. I'm not even sure WHO is the bigger asshole, Newt, Romney or Santorum, but they're all absolutely horrible, and don't deserve to be in control of anything.

  • What I wouldn't give to be put in a room alone with this fat faggot for 10 minutes. None of his bodyguards, none of his staffers, NOTHING. Just me and this fat cocksmoker. I will teach him humility and respect. His political status be god the fuck DAMNED, I will fucking beat the fat out of him if I ever see him in person.

  • ANYONE who votes for this idiot should be strung up and shot point blank in the face, just because a kid comes from a poor background doesnt mean he/she should have to clean up after someone as pig headed as this, everyone is against bullying right? this guy is the bully. thank god im canadian. Any of you americans that read this i hope your voting for ron paul so you can get the hell out of where the economy is

  • How dare this man! If anybody knows how to clean is black people! We build the white house and cleaned it! What we want is more for our children! No way are they going to get ahead with the racist tactics Gingrich use to take us back to slavery days! Think on when there was no education for blacks. Less good schools today, without it, most kids will not get a good job. Will not clean Gingrich crap, but would end up beating the crap of Gingrich kids, if nothing is done to make it better!

  • @Lovie2011 You are hilarious! Look around you! You are listening to the liberal media who brought up the racism! Wake up!! DEMOCRATS BROUGHT UP RACISM!!!! DEMOCRATS ARE THE RACISTS!!! Gingrich said “poor”. Democrats said “BLACK”. How can you be so conceited to believe their BS and REPEAT IT?!?! Not all “poor” are “black”. Every time YOU repeat it YOU perpetuate RACISM! That Democrat badge you wear is not a badge of honor. Ever YOU wonder why you feel the way you do? DEMOCRATS!!!

  • Can we scrap the wog at the start and get on with the fucking video?

  • Please remove the commentator-- I can come up with my own conclusions without biased news, thank you.

  • Thank you Mr. Gingrich, but these tactics have been done already. My little brother was a janitor throughout high school and I worked since 15. We have work ethic. What you and the GOP do not have is integrity. How about, instead of opening up trade boundaries for cheap labor and loop holes, and increasingly make college a business, you could, I don't know, fuel education and create jobs here?? That is a great way to use my work ethic.

  • These guys are stupid

  • He's not saying that they have to pay for their education by working and hes not saying that it will even be mandatory. It's an OPTIONAL way that he's offering for disadvantaged kids to earn some extra money and get valuable job experience.. Saying that hes forcing poor kids to clean up after rich kids as payment for their education is just untrue

  • @tjenner13 Hey, I'm trying to get a grip on what this story is and I can't because of all the commentary the Young Turks splice into these segments. I wish they'd just let people watch the full thing without any influence. At first I watched Newt and was like, "Hmm interesting proposal" Then I before I knew what he was talking about, the Young Turks cut in and ripped apart the whole segment. I don't know what my opinion is yet. But thank for saying something relevant.

  • I find you to be annoying and can't even listen to you for more than 10 seconds.

  • This is freaking stupid! Then when are they going to do they're homework, how are they going to get to these jobs...they're poor (oh he'll probably say they can walk - no matter how far), THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!! He makes comments like he's lived in low income areas. He needs to live there with many of them before he makes comments like he knows! UTTERLY RIDICULOUS!!!

  • So where is the money to pay these children coming from. What work ethic do a rich kid have. Majority of the ones that I know of, hasnt done anything their entire life that could be considered work.

  • Euniq? what the fuck. FUCK YOU.

  • Its obvious that Gingrich is out of touch with most of America, and has no understanding of the struggles of many Americans living below his level.

    At the same time though, the idea that poor children can work and get paid to do certain things around their schools isn't entirely bad, nor is it new. "Work Study" programs can be found in many places, that help students earn a little extra money, provided you have the grades. That can be expanded a little.

    But no janitorial work, Newt!

  • I grew up in a single parent home with a mom who worked all the time, and we were poor. Ramen noodles was a staple at times because rent and utilities took most of her money. So Mr. Gingrich you know nothing about families who are poor. I have a great work ethic, believe in working for what you want and never giving up I didn't need to clean toilets to learn this, I had a working mom who taught me about life.

  • @joshybearssweety can I get the cash to get you to DC and slap some sense into Newt?

  • @joshybearssweety

    but if you would had a chance to do a job like this while you are in school and therefore had some additional income,which would support your family,wouldnt you take it ? or would you deny this job and the money,because your pride is more important ?

  • ........thats real fucked up. this gingrich guy is a foul ass dude. hes stereotyping all poor people as if there stupid and dont know whats right from wrong. i really hope hes not even close to being our next president.....

  • YOU ARE RETARDED. He is not saying pay poor kids to clean and not go to school. I think kids should clean school bathrooms anyways, then maybe they wouldn't be so dirty. Getting paid is an added bonus.

    My parents paid me an allowance to clean up after my dog in the backyard when i was young, nothing wrong with that, is there?

  • Comment removed

  • @cayetano56 I think Newt Gringich should die in a hole cause of that. Poor kids don't know anything unless it's illegal? BULLSHIT!!! I'm pretty damn poor, (not TOTALLY poor) and I study, I learn, I do things that are LEGAL! I get, MANY poor kids are like that but not probably even 60%. This is why I want to go somewhere peaceful, where I can live quietly and just enjoy life to the fullest.

    Fucking republican pieces of shit.

  • Comment removed

  • you are so stupid , that you no understand the reality of poor kids they really need WORK WORK and Newt Gingrich is right the kids HAS TO LEARN where the money come from, especialy in the poor neirborghts, where drugs and gangas is everiday live, and the majority life in the welfare, and sleep til noom and parting til morning, I know because i live there.

    Uh, actually Obama saved thousands of jobs by bailing out GM (which is once again #1 in the world), and ever since he passed his stimulus jobs have been on a relatively consistent rise. But, no, herp derp let's get poor kids to scrub toilets.

  • Newt Gingrich just better be careful about what he says. I mean, after all if he supports the second amendment and the right to keep and bear arms, he shouldn't be suprised when some one tries to shoot him for his politics. You know what, it actually comes to my attention that some one is ALWAYS trying to kill the president. It just seems the most sucessful assasins are indeed AMERICANS. Lee Harvey, John Hinkly, Booth, and who ever shot Garfield. They were ALL AMERICANS....

  • This fat fuck Turk always talking shit about the us he probably likes to fuck sheep!

  • You people are a fucking joke, you talk all this bull shit about this country! Yet you would have Turkey rise up and become the ottoman empire again! I guess we Greeks will have to kick your asses again! If you want socialism go live in Europe!

  • @TheMaxanton ummm, ending child labor is not socialism. stop using the teabagger dictionary... you sick stupid fuck!

  • According to new statistics - ONE THIRD of Americans are below the poverty line or very close to it scraping by living paycheck to paycheck. To hear this man say that the poor do not work hard is an OBSCENE insult to anyone with a mind or a heart. The top 5% of the population of this country controls 69% of the wealth. The Republican Party is determined to Bleed OUT the rest of it into their coffers. To think they swindle the votes of ignorant middle and poor voters is a staggering irony.

  • Comment removed

  • @porker73 he said poor black people shouldnt be satisfied with food stamps. his solution, to make poor people clean up shit. this was in reference to the inner city and detroit... i mean really?

  • Comment removed

  • @porker73 DUDE, newt said black, and then juan repeated it. the point isnt getting young children to become janitors. the point for children is to learn while there parents provide for them until they are 16. newt needs to focus on parents and not ending child labor law which has been here for a century.

  • Comment removed

  • He never once said that he would force children into the work force. He is simply giving parents the opportunity to have their children get work experience and earn some, if they so feel the need.

  • Tom Brokaw wrote a book called :the greatest generation" in it he tells the stories of many men and women who grew up in the depression. It was honest hard work like.digging ditches, bailing hay, hard farm work,etc that later gave these people the ability to succeed ..Here Cenk is the real racist who wants to keep poor people of color down much like Jesse Jackson,Al Sharpton,etc Where would Cenk and people like him be if they only espoused honest hard work as a way out of grinding poverty?

  • REPUB PLATFORM- POOR BLACK CHILDREN SHOULD CLEAN UP MY SHIT!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @porker73 AGAIN, READ WHAT I SAY AND NOT WITH TEABAG INTERPRETATION...

    he said poor black people would be satisfied with food stamps, he then went on to say poor people should clean toilets.

  • Comment removed

  • Newt is not going to win. Sadly though it doesn't matter if he wins or santorum or Romney. They are all crap. Ron Paul is the only good candidate out there. But I would have no problem with poor kids having the option to work as janitors. It is way better than seeing kids drop out and not getting an education or a lesser education.

  • My father put me to work at 12yrs old mowing lawns, shoveling snow, and selling papers..My dad let me keep the money I earned..After a few weeks of blowing the money on junk, I started saving it and before long I had $2000.00 in the bank..That work taught me a work ethic I might not have ever learned if I hadn't learned it as a young boy.If I was the dad of a poor young boy of color I would be glad to see my son working as a janitor in a school..that work ethic might just be his ticket out!

  • @myboylollipop09 agreed. and people might laugh at him. but it is better than not getting an education and staying that way.

  • @myboylollipop09 ticket out of school?

  • I miss when conservatives actually wanted to conserve more than their own interests....oh wait! Arguing with someone clinging to the far left or right is the same ball game. Newt cozied up to the far right to secure his campaign longer. This shows he's not against doing something inherently wrong in order to financially sustain himself. OF COURSE you can't argue with people like this about what is hard or easy....especially when they decide when/how the rules apply and they get advantages.

  • This guy just seems like he has skeletons in his closet, and he seems pretty uptight. The kind of person I'd be terrified to have as a Father or a relative. It's as though he knows the system enough to know what to say, but it just doesn't feel true. He's got some of the mid to higher class salivating. Honestly, he just seems like somebody who wants leadership and that's all there is to it.

  • Well, let's see here... which would be MOST beneficial to the nation as a whole. Funding poor populations to have indefinite employment outcomes in the future, which is not only bad for the economy, but unfair to those who aren't "rich" but can afford school? (and mind you, PUBLIC SCHOOL IS FREE!) These people already get enough tax breaks! Or just giving them every possible benefit so that they can join the unemployment mass when they graduate from their tax-funded education. You tell me, hmm?

  • @calimar28 I said 7 percen of whites are UNDER THE POVERTY LINE and account for almost 40 percent of welfare. Please learn how to read.

  • Comment removed

  • @Kloborgg where did you get "instead of getting some sort of support" from? Newt isn't going to take away any support they are currently getting. He just wants to allow them to work janitorial jobs to make money IN ADDITION to the support they currently receive.

  • @RandomExplosives

    I got it from the fact that the entire republican base seems to believe social security and welfare are fucking terrible, so instead we should have poor black kids cleaning toilets in school. Would you really tell your kids to help the janitor during recess while the rich kids play?

  • @Kloborgg Well, contrary to your blind assumptions, Newt's plan in no way takes away financial support in schools from poor kids (who may or may not be of a certain race [I thought the democrats wanted a colorblind society so stop pointing out race!]). Also, Gingrich has consistently said this will take place as an AFTER school job. It would not be during recess. My school already has a similar program in place and all the students love it because it gives them a job and a chance to make money.

  • @RandomExplosives

    Don't try to tell Newt isn't against welfare programs. He clearly knows race is an issue (watch his SC debates), and if your school has the kind of jobs he describes your school is breaking federal law.

  • Comment removed

  • Most poor people are poor because they're bad with money and make horrible decisions. Fuck em'. 

  • Newt Gingrich is a confirmed 33rd Degree Mason - When he dumped his wife that was diagnosed with MS he confided in a former friend that she was not good enough to be the wife of a president. He must have got the Tap on the shoulder WAY back then, otherwise he wouldn't be where he is now. Just like all masons, it doesn't matter what side you are on as long as you do as your told. This should be very concerning as this means there is NO PARTY. Newt beds anything in case you didn't notice.

  • @ISISMainframe let me guess, your source is CNN or some other left-wing media?

  • @RandomExplosives

    I love it. If a news source isn't COMPLETELY conservative it's "left-wing". CNN is a professional news agency. The reason you see it as liberal is because facts tend to lean towards "liberalism". Funny that your best station, Fox News, is also the least dependable.

  • @RandomExplosives - Definitely Not - CNN LOVE Newt and would probably hire someone to wipe newts butt. Their exposed biased, targeted and rigged polls are brainwashing unsuspecting voters. The MASON evidence is right on Newts Coat at one of the debates. He wears a Masonic Pin which means only one thing. You would spin out if you knew how many males were active members of the Illuminati in your town/city. They are real and they play for keeps. The late Ted Gunderson of the FBI will tell you that.

  • insanity is rife it would seem.... greetings from northern europe where brains still exist.

  • This huge ASSHOLE will NEVER be president if this United States. He has the insight of a paramecium and the brain structure of a lizard.

  • How dare he be a realist. HOW DARE HE!!!!!

  • Harding was as dumb as a sack of nails. Tricky Dick was in cahoots with the mob from the start of his political career. Mickey Cohen, the LA gambling czar of the 40s and 50s helped Nixon get started. Murray Chotiner, Nixons main bag man, was a lawyer in LA. Chotiner's business was 90% defense work representing mob clients. Nixon got bribes from Howard Hughes (a couple of times), Jimmy Hoffa, ITT, and only god knows who else. He was pardoned because he could take down half of Washington with him.

  • @sauroid1 blah blah blah....every politician gets bribes, grow up. You think Obama is nay different from the Bush's or Nixon, or Clinton, or anyone else? Come on, your attacking Harding who died in office before even being charged with a scandal! Liberals attack him ever since, and he was never alive to defend himself! But I do know for sure he saved this country from the nastiest recession in history...one that made this recession look like disneyland.
