MSNBC w/ Cenk: Financial Reform Good Enough?

[upplsuckimcool16]

Have Ana's face on the crotch so when you go down on your girl your tongue doesn't touch flesh AND you're making out with Ana WIN WIN!!!

[obadhai03]

It's so sad that the people who elected Obama have had to fight so hard for the obvious choice for the CPA.

[882me]

Robert Scheer is interesting. This interview is too short (as others have said here). You need to get him on TYT, Cenk. Take your time.

What's alarming about his Obama's betrayal claim? I felt that way after he was only 6 months in office.

[votumseparatum1]

@882me Someone else should interview Robert, like Charlie Rose. I don't like how Cenk keep cutting off and interrupting the interviewee. I know he is trying to be precise and timed but still....kinda annoying.

[mrjamesb562]

...I'm No Marketing Genius , But I bet Pictures of Ana wearing a Young Turks 'Hoody would sell some ,.....Wearing ONLY a 'Hoody!...Haha!..

[xkeltoix]

@mrjamesb562 shes too classy for that

[mrjamesb562]

@xkeltoix - Fine , She can Wear Panties TOO then! ,..lol!..

[mrjamesb562]

Obama= Change! ....* Very Small Change, Only 98% as Crooked as the Republicans!...

[zendingo19]

any chance of getting that guy on the young turks for an extended interview?

[TruthAndMoreTruth]

I like that guy. So much so, I may even read his book!

[dEdGrimley]

@Solareffects

Especially if you're trying to convince a Republican of something... you think they're gonna READ a book?

(I kid the Republican that reads books)

[SLAVEforLISA]

@dEdGrimley They read fantasy...Glenn Beck makes millions off of Republicans.

[dEdGrimley]

@Solareffects

Lol and my point is that if it's SO important that the public should know whatever you're talking about, give it up when you're on the news. If you make people pay to read the truth, and to have to sift through an entire book to find the sentence you're talking about, you're going to lose a lot of people. And then no one gets smarter, and no one wins.

[glennd7962]

Cenk's better work, as he kept his mouth shut and let someone who knows what they are talking about speak. As for knowing what a derivative is, Cenk is not someone who comes off to me as person who wouldn't know a notional principal from a reset, when it comes to derivatives, so really, once again Cenk, stfu.

As for the author's comments, he's right on the money. Specifically, the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 - ala repubs and Clinton - brought back a practice outlawed in the '20s

[glennd7962]

@glennd7962 con't - This law eliminated what were then known as "bucket shops" Bucket shops took straight up bets on market prices, and funded wild speculation in the market. Up until CFTA, the insane volume of speculation that was going on the mortgage/consumer credit markets was not possible. But even this doesn't prove the author's hypothesis which is what, politicians and private interests will scratch each other's backs? I mean, what, this just in? What gives rise to this is low interest

[glennd7962]

@glennd7962 cont'd - 2 rates. Whenever credit is too loose (better said, too cheap) as the Fed has seen to for almost 10 yrs, the excesses become more extreme, it's axiomatic.

This isn't to say derivatives don't need some reforming. 1. Acctng standards - the Govt it 10 yrs behind the private sector in GAAP for derivatives 2. Clearing house - private solution that will provide market incentives to prevent AIG deux. 3. Higher reserves for financial institutions.

Done. No need for marxism.

[jo05dk]

Dude's telling the truth.. We need more of people like him. AND we need to get rid of "we're out of time". I know it's essential in tv, but i don't give a fuck. Give the people real info, not tiny spots.

[LukeWhitehorn]

@jo05dk Totally agree. They get started on an interesting conversation and it's stopped dead in it's tracks.

[dEdGrimley]

@Solareffects

These authors pimp their work to be essential information. Something you can catch on the news. The news is free to watch.

[Richardgwm]

Every industry that has been deregulated has required a massive government bailout within ten years:

S&Ls

Airlines

Banks

Deregulation does not work.

[Shisho2k]

@Richardgwm It works for the people taking all the money out the back door. ;)

[NaomiClareNL]

@Richardgwm About the only one that has not gotten a bailout is the railroad industry it seems.

[pinochet222]

yeah, need more of this guy

[bighugejake]

Get this guy on theyoungturks!

[SinisterSkip]

@bighugejake

I agree. This interview needs a sequel :)

[upplsuckimcool16]

There is an interview with this guy on the regular show!

[marktsheppard]

good video, but he has to do a real 30 minute TYT interview

[SYNICtheAtheist]

We need an extended interview with him.

[ralphinator2]

Too short! That interview was just getting started!!

[freewngs]

Love Scheer, I catch him and Arianna Huffington every week on the Left, Right and Center podcast. Check it out.

[HeatLegs]

This Robert guy is pretty cool.

[dEdGrimley]

I wish people would quit plugging their fucking books every 8 seconds on these shows. Just tell us the information. If you think it's that important, just say it. Think of the public good if you're actually thinking of the public good.

[pyledog]

@dEdGrimley lol i know right

[sinterics]

Love Robert Shearer... let's see him again.. and again... always a clear voice...

[Dradeeus]

Get this guy on your show, please, Cenk, I wanna hear more of him.

[TheGiantRobot]

I'm so glad to hear people blowing apart the liberal myths about Clinton and Obama. These aren't liberals, these are corporate conservatives and they understand what they've done. They are not idiots.

[endervideos]

There is no proof of this but it makes me wonder...

[Scarpsad]

I'm starting to wonder if USA was better off with Hilary

[TheGiantRobot]

@Scarpsad

No, she would have done all the same things Obama did.

[Tekavolver712]

i agree with this guy.  well said.

[Jeanisimo]
