Obama, START Treaty & Child Soldiers - MSNBC w/ Cenk

[DmitryKurischenko]

критика да ,предложения решения проблем не отвечают на запросы всего общества государства ,но для президента да эти мнения так же имеют значения в работе

[Sparxjosh]

MSNBC makes the news seem more or less like an episode of Always Sunny in Philadelphia. You have no idea of what's going on because these kids can't wait to squeeze their opinions into a 9-minue time slot.

[beancube2010]

The Republican Strategist is right. This treaty is unfair to Russians. We have the all power NATO distributing arms and bases everywhere, Russians have almost nothing. Russians should join Republicans blocking this treaty and I'll definitely vote for Republicans again for the Russians.

[MrNintoku]

He can't take a basketball. Rushed off to a medical clinic over a lip bleed. Harden the fuck up man!

[wasabi107]

FUCKING DISGRACE! THEY LET THESE FUCKERS USE CHILD SOLDIERS??? THEY SEND THEM WEAPONS AND MONEY!! THE AFRICAN COUNTRIES UNDER THOSE WAIVERS HAVE REPEATEDLY BROKEN THE LAW AND THE WHITE HOUSE IS SENDING THEM "AID"?? YOU'RE HAVING A FUCKING LAUGH!

[vaguelyreptilian]

Anyone who will condone the use of child soldiers for any reason should be charged with human rights violations and be given the appropriate punishment.

[Newenlightenmentnow]

How's Carter's administration working for you , har har har. Fuck you asshole. One of the reasons carter was so unpopular was because he made a difficult decision. His FED, for example, raised interest rates. This would lower growth, but it reigned in runaway inflation which plagued the US for nearly a decade. Afterwards the US grew, not because of the fucking tax cuts, but because of the diffcult decision to raise interest rates.

[MikeNitro94]

Repulican spokespeople often sound like fools, (4:56-is this guy serious? they make that claim about the left every day!) but this guy is king! Russia doesn't pose a threat? Who's to say how long they maintain a stable government? See...if these assholes are in charge of things, kiss your ass goodbye! These people will make shit up on the fly just to oppose common sense. They also seem to be people who grew up unpopular.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@MikeNitro94 Lol, he's not saying that Russia doesn't pose a threat, he's saying that the Soviet-US relations are stable and the START treaty is simply bilateral in nature. Nowadays, nuclear proliferation isn't simply confined to Russia, it's spreading all over the damn world, and that's the main problem of nuclear proliferation. START doesn't do much other than build on previous agreements between the two.

He makes very good points here, as much as I like Cenk, I wish he let him speak more.

[echosixnoble]

WTF is up with CENKS makeup!?!? He looks all dolled up. LOL

[AustrianAtheist]

It is called "beton strategy" in German. You block everything of your opponent, raise fear and propaganda against change -> and then before the election you call your opponent weak

[twk373]

@AustrianAtheist

If democrats hadn't used that strategy, they wouldn't have gotten their asses kicked.

[MegaJK47]

CENK FOR PLANETARY LEADER

[12235117657598502586]

If Obama & the Republicans aren't strong enough to push through logic & reason over and above the narrow minded, selfish GOP....Then when the GOP get power at the next election, they're inflated ego's will probably respond with nukes to some standard military threat by some other country far, far away and then the nuclear war will begin!

SAD! :(

[MrMagneticPelican]

coming from an avid fan of The Young Turks I think that Cenk needs to seriously tone it down when he's on TV (he can do whatever he wants on his own show). His demeanor is hardly professional and I don't think he's being fair to the guests (mostly his conservative ones). When he said that certain previous Republican politicians were on the 'right' side of the issue I cringed. When you're in the news you're supposed to report the facts of the situation not spoon feed us personal judegements. imho

[Viper718xx]

@MrMagneticPelican Yes, but Cenk isn't doing the News, he's a commentator on a show which isn't supposed to do the news, but instead show points of view. Cenk is, therefor, perfectly within his rights to show his opinion. If he was on actual News, I'd agree, but he's not.

[sejgrech]

republican got pwned

[dkkght46]

Isn't it strange? The so-called "smartest man in the room" Onetermer, the man who is so bored because the presidency is beneath him doesn''t have a clue how TSA invasive these searches are? But he is an oracle when it comes to nuclear arms and weaponery. Americans with a brain have known for a long time that Stymie is clueless about everything except when Georgie Soreass and community organizing.

[eggs764]

Funny how the conservative guy got pissy and accused them of contradicting themselves on whether Republicans consider START good or bad, but then he did the same thing. He himself said that former Republican Sec.'s of State all think START is a necessary thing, then he went and said it wasn't. So which is it dude? And who should we trust more you, or those Sec.'s who said START was needed?

Conservatives are funny.

[zaggers77]

Cenk lays another ass whooping.

He is what we thought he was.

[ambrosesams]

At least Josh Trevino tries to make a logical argument and is articulate in delivering it...too bad so many other Repulicans come across as ignorant fucks!

[Quranite]

That debate was actually half descent. I'm glad someone brought on a smart republican for once. He failed to see the postive consequences worldwide from looking like we are determined to decrease our nuclear weapons and not just its effects with russia, but he brought up some valid points and delivered them well.

[TheImpeacher]

Obama time to bring back the crusades, the majority of all killings in the world are being done by muslims in the name of allah. World wake up there coming.

[envanje]

Waiver for the use of children to fight wars ? I don't get it and I even will not try !

[hollaboutit]

cenk used to be a republican, so maybe that was when he thought they were "honest actors", dick.

[mexicanexalted]

1st I thought Obama should come out and chastise these repubs for the children that they are. Putting politics above national security. But then I thought, what if that makes him appear weak to the rest of the world. Maybe, but Obama should at least unleash all the people in the know, to attack the repubs.

But Obama won't even do that, A spokesman for the WH said, "Oh, this treaty will be signed, its just going to take a while, we don't think the repubs are playing politics."

Jesus F Christ

[lordblazer]

Russia semi-fascist? ... interesting.. I still wanna travel there though.. St. Petersberg would be an awesome city to work in.

[Aeonova]

The man with the beard is very hard to listen to. It's not that he is saying anything that I can't understand... but his voice, tone, and pacing are high, muted, and very fast. He could give the person that used to do the Micro Machines commercials a run for his money. I'm not saying anything... I'm just sayin'.

[dkkght46]

John Podesta says Obama can use executive orders, rulemaking, and even the armed forces "to accomplish important change" and that such means "should not be underestimated." WTF, using the military against America & Americans to accomplish a progressive agenda. Just like carville said “If Hillary gave up one of her balls and gave it to Obama, he’d have two.” Obama does not have the balls to to do this. US Military are you listening?

[lordblazer]

@dkkght46

Obama isn't a progressive.

[siliedy1975]

sigh:(

[jo05dk]

How come Failblog hasn't shown a photo of Obama as fail clip of the week yet?

I had such high hopes for him, when he took office, but man... He hasn't delivered at all.

[americanbiwi]

Well, give Kyl a break, guys. It's not like he supported this treaty 6 months ago or it was initiated by the Republican god Ronald Reagan or something. Oh, wait.

[nativemrv19722]

@Introspective91 Yeah. Why you think every one gives him a hard time.?!

[ViolentRiC]

@nativemrv19722

Get the fuck out with that bullshit. If you continue to think he's great because of his colour when he's obviously weak then you're a disgrace.

[nativemrv19722]

@ViolentRiC No. I don't think he is great because of his color. He should be given the same long chances you people gave STUPID ASS GEORGE FUCKING BUSH! I see Obama trying to do everything he was running on. I would never vote for DAM FUCKING REPUBLICAN IF HE WAS TEAL. He wants to give every one a fair shot! I am for taxing the RICH MORE. Fuck they got all the dam money. I WOULDN'T VOTE FOR COLLIN POWELL! He is black.

[ViolentRiC]

@nativemrv19722

Lol @ "You people" - I'm light skinned mixed black just like the Pres. And I don't think you'll find many peope around here who gave Dubya Bush much praise.

That's why I called bullshit, because there are so many legitimate reasons to criticise Obama's presidency, the decisions he's made, and how he's letting his hopeful voters and onlookers down. If you think the reason everyone gives him a hard time is cause he's black (as you said above), then that's bullshit.

[nativemrv19722]

@ViolentRiC What's wrong with giving people Health Care? and  he had to help the Banks and the Car companies. If he had not did it. USA would be it worst trouable. People don't think at all. It took 8 years to get in this mess, Any person with any brain knows it will take more than 2 years to get out. Your like the crazy ass Tea Party. Think things happen over night. He trying to do every thing he said he would. No you talking bullshit!

[dudeeful1]

obama is far worse than carter. i can't watch obama any more. i get ill ever time i hear him.

[nativemrv19722]

@dudeeful1 Yeah. that's just your racists in your blood.

[Fusionx916]

he called him cink

[Northern5tar]

Russia a semi-fascist state..

Project much?

[595o]

when start will end the end will start

[AdmiralofTheEmpire]

that Democrat guy when he's arguing with the Republican looks evil... his head is tilted down :P I agree though, i love it how Republicans (like Christians) just ignore everything you say when you argue with them...

[nativemrv19722]

@AdmiralofTheEmpire  Yeah. the arrogants. They think they are always right.

[595o]

So fascism can make your state stable? Sounds great let's get some of this "fasci-ism" implemented in the US!

[milanthron]

Cenk you need to stop brining on Josh, (dude w/the beard), he's crushing you. Let me explain why. It's his delivery. I think you need to focus more on the argument and not the hyperboley of action and inflection. When compared to a guy like Josh, he makes you look like an irrational lib. I love you Cenk, so I say that all w/Love :-). I'm totally serious though.

[livingeasi]

@milanthron

Totally agreed brother. I was thinking the same thing. The Josh guy always crushes Cenk, especially when Cenk gets all hyped up and startes raising his voice.

[doctender77]

@dobba92 The right has citizen him every single day since before he beat out Clinton in the primaries. Obviously their constant barrage of criticism has been effective because he does compromise on everything. What's worse is that his compromises have gained him absolutely no of the bipartisanship he seems to want so desperately. Until he stops compromising, until he acts like the president, the criticism will continue. If he stood strong the criticism would die done some, from both sides.

[marktsheppard]

calling Russia a stable semi fascist regime sounds like something that only a crooked Russian General would say (during a closed door business deal) to an illegal arms customer/terrorist

[betamaxdc]

Cenk being on tv is a milestone...still can't believe it. fuckin win.

[Asymmatrix]

Why bother having these clueless conservative 'commentators' on he show.

[Tounushi]

6:06 BURN!!!

[Asymmatrix]

Pussy in Chief

[DownLowProductions]

@dobba92 supprting him for 2 years proved fruitless, sorry..

bring the criticism

[ccricers]

@DownLowProductions are you talking about your personal support or the GOP's support? Because the Republicans shot down a lot of things just for the purpose of keeping Obama from getting a second term. That is not support.

[upplsuckimcool16]

I LOVED THAT what he said "the republic problem with treaties is that you have to make them with foreigners" OFF THE TOP ROPE ELBOW FROM THE RUSSIAN SKIES!!!

[DrQuijano]

republikkkans wopulsd rather allow a communist country to arm itself and become a threat to national security than side with obama. that should shed som e light on the kind of people they are.

[assassin929]

Even though i don't agree with the ginger's point of views, I really like when Cenk has him on. He is the only educated republican that makes any sense out of the usual non-sensical republican talking points.

[Koba82]

So annoying that they still keep talking about weak democrats/president. He's bought like the rest of them, not weak. Should be obvious already.

[Robfenix]

The Republican spokesperson guy first said that Republican Senator Kyl is outmaneuvering Obama politically. Then he jumped on Cenk for saying that Republicans are putting politics over national security.

[squints328]

@Robfenix Is it that hard to pause and reference the gentleman by name? I guess so.

[kurd55]

I loathe that red-headed step child. Smug asshole. He's really into himself.

[MitchofSmeg]

START might not effect their government, but it will effect how upset they will be at the USA building defence weapons in say, poland and east europe.

[MitchofSmeg]

There is no downside to this treaty, its a boost in the co-operation of 2 of the most powerful countries on earth and defacto 2 of the strongest alliances, if NATO and Russia get past the hatred from decades before, then we can have a good strong peace. Or hell, some day could invite Russia into NATO XD

[eirefrance]

I kind of agree with this Josh guy; the world is not bilateral anymore. Still, what is the drawback to signing a START treaty? Seems stupid to complain about it unless there is an actual negative.

[pinochet222]

Republicans are suicidal

[WarMasterX6]

This treaty better pass because idc what kind of time it is the less nukes in any country the better

[hitch4645]

I like that josh trevino dude. I'm against everything he stands for but he's honest and he's a straight talker. We need more of those in our media and in our government.

[P1ranh4]

@hitch4645 It's not too hard for him since all his colleagues scream fascist, socialist, Marxist and leftist every time they see a picture of Obama.

[SchinTeth]

@hitch4645 good to see some common sense and reasoning on youtube. I totally agree with you :)

[MarmaladeINFP]

The guy said that he didn't know when Cenk ever thought the Republicans were honest actors. I'm assuming that back when Cenk was a Republican he considered Republicans honest actors. I don't think a criticism can be dismissed as mere partisanship when the person is criticizing the party they used to identify with. I take Cenk's criticisms of the GOP seriously in the same way I take Goldwater's criticisms of the GOP. The GOP may have once been a respectable party, but those days are long over.

[bdyan1]

carter was better than bush at least

[BorgKing001]

Ha ha, demos are pussies, bow down to your new daddy

[crackerz99]

@Solareffects lol awesome.

[jtilak]

the grey haired dude is awesome and funny as hell

[dagrimmreepa]

About Russia: the future is VERY certain.

It's under Putin, and no-one or nothing can change that for the foreseeable future.

[pyledog]

for the life of me, what the hell was captain red beard jabbering about the whole time? i mean i get his premise and all but it was meaningless banter imo for the most part.

[elchinonica]

they(politicians) are making a fucking game out of a very real fucking topic

[Rakly3]

Imagine that silly copper robot from star wars is sitting where the red-bearded guy sits.

Suddenly this video makes sense!

[alecton]

EMASCULATED... damn... Obama is probably the weakest president

[ecwaufisxtreme]

@alecton

ALL male Presidents ARE EMASCULATED! Palin IS the EMASCULATOR of the world and if men have PENISES and BALLS, Sarah Palin used her GOD POWERS to CASTRATE ALL OF THEM and replaced them with PUSSIES!

[VoidOnTuesday]

it's so nice to see you become the stooge-busters you always longed to be. Gratz and thanks!

[mansashaka]

I feel bad now =/ why did I vote for Obama..

[Zanmatoou]

@mansashaka

not like you guys had alot of choices :(.....either this or mccain/palin

[wingofshu]

@mansashaka

because mccain would be worse

[Oldcartoons571]

@mansashaka who was your other  choice?

[TrueMusou]

@mansashaka Because Mccain would have ran us into the ground helluva lot quicker.

[Iceber9]

@TrueMusou Cosign. We would probably all ready be in Iran.
