  • Prohobition created Capone and Luciano and all others; but end of prohobition did not get rid of them. On the contrary, they were more powerful than ever; practically ruling the country. Like wise, I don't think end of drug war and legalization of illegal drugs will stop or even slow down drug cartels. Genie is out of the bottle now.

  • posted on my birthday

  • Sir, I enjoyed this video a LOT. thank you

  • 4 videos to 10,000!!!!!!

  • Stealing a line from The Office: I've pretty much given up on Obama doing the right thing, or the decent thing, or even the comprehensible thing.

  • 1940s all over again...

  • Here's the problem, accepting the incompetence & institutional narrow-mindedness of the FBI, they are faced with an enemy that ideologically determined to subvert peaceful Islam & radicalize ordinary muslims through indoctrination, to carry out attacks on US soil. That's a given. Where should they look for such individuals? In synagogs? In Methodist Churches? The moon? They have to look for them where they operate. It's irresponsible & dangerously naive to make a racial issue about the obvious.

  • I really like this shirt and jacket combination. Honestly, the MSNBC format diminished Cenk. The Young Turks rule!

  • I would love to see one of the republican candidates try to explain how their policies are compatible with the graphs at 15:05.

  • One group of people elects a Man to restrict the usage of a certain chemical by other groups of people. How is that constitutional? End the war on drugs. Whoever wants to use drugs will use them no matter what.

  • When he say the top 0.1% pay less taxes than the low and middleclass... he doesn't mean in dollars, but rather percentage of their income/capital?

  • Choose fromONLY one of two motives from someone trying to debunk the things I -and MANY like me- advocate regarding the well-being of the future of our world: You're very well served by the status-quo of today's environment and don't WANT to see the erosion of human rights,or you are are an active participant in the oppression of peoples.I think every person has a right to choose,a right to worship (or not) who they wish, maximize one's station in life so long as to not cause neglect for others

  • FBI: muslims are people? ... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

  • I'm happy for you. Here in America we don't have it quite so good, but some of us are working on peaceful solutions to try and have education and healthcare removed from the private sector. They are not theories. Were it not for selective medicine, the suppression of cures to many of the world's most widespread diseases, the world's population could very well be at 15 billion. Not that we NEED any more people in the world. The way we approach the near future will determine if we HAVE a Future.

  • It's not the compassion of Jesus Christ,I'm not claiming to speal for Him,it's an idiot called Pat Robertson.

  • muslims are the world's Ni**ers. The new gooks. people love to hate us.

  • I agree with the critiques, but what's the alternative if our democrats can't get it done? The Tea Party? I think not.

  • the rich are the only ones investing significant enough cash-flows into the economy; keeping it afloat. the tax breaks are supposed to encourage them to keep it up. either way blablablablabla

  • Boehner dems $ like Cocaine...

    GOP tell Thirsty man in desert "Dump 90% of your water and more will come!!"

    What a bunch of Morons the GOP/Tea are.

  • Wasn't Cerk just pointing out the fact that Rev. Robertson's answer kind of off the wall for a leader of the USA's moral Christian right? The advice you'd expect was "sorry dude, but you made a commitment to your wife and although this situation is total shit the right thing to do is stand by her"... I don't know that I could, but if I cut and ran I'd KNOW I was doing the WRONG thing.

  • its not that we are scared its how we got him ..if we could of tried him we would of but HE gave us no chance to so we did the next best thing stop blaming the us for there stupid mistakes

  • More importantly than suddenly promoting his Latino credentials, why is Obama only JUST now pointing out how badly the Republican party has tried to fuck him by fucking the whole country and poisoning the well on the very notion of government itself?

  • is it really necessary to have an ad in the middle of a sentence?

  • Cenk - are you saying that these artificially low interest rates aren't good for the American people?? You do realize that this goes against the true believer progressives, Krugman, etc... (many of who would like real interest rates permanently zero or negative) and is in fact closer to the evil libertarians like Ron Paul and Peter Schiff.

  • to 'win' the war on drugs in mexico as it is, you would need 12th century methods. kill everyone in area and salt the ground.

    silly 'war'

  • "Bush scared the hell out of me and I'm still scared 35:30, with his fists clenched up in the air. Cenk is so funny, but it's funny because it's true

  • good grieve i want strangle that blonde bitch, just to shut her up

    let Moore finish his sentence

    Osama Binladen was just another mass-murder

    a petty criminal, not the devil.

    So treat him as the criminal him was hit him with the law not the angry mob.

  • ahrrite, baggathayung terks

  • I don't know if Cenk watches wrestling anymore, but it would've been funny if before he started talking about the Hispanic ambassador Obama discussed waiting to be nominated, Cenk played a clip of Ricardo Rodriguez announcing Alberto Del Rio to the ring.

  • $7 trillion in house value was only there because of cheap loans and bad banking, it was all make believe and those days will never be back

  • @antoireland09 Yep, but people are still repaying that make believe and the banks still have much of that make believe on there books so it has to be part of any recovery plan.

  • seems an awful lot of Americans still suffer from the Tony Montana syndrome.....i.e. right now I'm cleaning dishes but one day soon I'll be in charge of a multi-million dollar criminal enterprise, preferably on Wall St..... So screw your tax hike!

  • How does the close caption work? Its fucken terrible haha.

  • US corporate tax rate: 35%

    Swedish corporate tax rate: 26.3%

    Canadian corporate tax rate: 16.5%

    Corporate tax doesn't do what you think it does, and the middle class would benefit from a 0% corporate tax rate (hint: money is taxed when it's paid to shareholders and employees - money not paid out is money reinvested).

    You think you are poor because you haven't soaked the rich sufficiently? You are wrong.

  • @jordan567890 There's a problem in your theory though. Historically, our corporations have taken that money and instead of investing it in let's say, new job markets. What they have done is instead made automated tellers, taking jobs away. They have shipped those jobs overseas, to save money of course. They have shipped their taxable money to tax havens instead of investing in our infrastructure. There are some things that garner no profit -- infrastructure being one of them.

  • @jordan567890 Sweden and Canada have a higher personal tax rate though. I don't think corporations should have to pay super high taxes, but if you reduce taxes significantly in one area you lose government programs. The government doesn't get more efficient when they lose funding, they just drop stuff.

  • On the other hand, if he cheats, will she even remember long enough to sue?

  • If Obama's mouth is moving....he's sure to be lying.

  • @MIvarsson99 Seriously dude are you retarded? Most of the people in Washington are corrupt and dont care about the American people. That doesnt mean a person doesnt have liberal or conservative ideas it just means they know the people at the head of the government are just bullshiting. Also how is dont trust polticians not a valid opinion or point? Why is it smarter to bend over and continue electing the same douchebags. Fuck you. Once again fuck you.

  • Stupid bitch thinks the court of law cant apply to a terrorist? Rights are not afforded to him as they are to the rest of us? Fucking moron.

  • @Etimos Remember that when you send our men in uniform to capture oil-I MEAN police other countries.

  • Actually both the Christian and Muslim holy books have some evil shit in them. Has the FBI actually read the bible?

  • I doubt he believes them. Hes probably corrupt just the same.

  • My mother-in-law has paid over 200k on her home, and now she actually owes more then the home is worth. Her home has lost 275k in value.... insanity.

    To top it off the Hospital she worked at for the last 20 years just laid her off. When they start laying of nurses with 20 years of experience, you know we are hosed as a nation.

  • Tax Loopholes: "Just when I think I'm out, they put me back in!"

  • @random69ism fucking a right brother I've been saying that all along

  • it should be noted that this story was released by ex-FBI agents who quit the agency over its unAmerican activities in regard to Muslims. we need to come up with a new term for terrorists who happen to be Muslim - gotta stop calling them Muslim or Islam(ists)

  • Bin laden story: what are they afraid of about a trial? That they don't get evidence or that evidence implicates powerful ppl in the states & saudi arabia

  • yes! @ 17:25 ZIRP is a war on savers!

  • Cenk, you have no idea what it's like to have a loved one with Alzheimer's. Don't presume to know what's going through that man's mind or what he's going through.

  • Cenk should be Obama's strategist, if only he'd listen.

  • Cenk, you're a dick. I know you mean well, but really. You're going to blow this election for us, man.

  • @MIvarsson99 Who is "us" exactly? All the candidates are bought out by the same people. Who ever wins, the people lose.

  • @TehDeminz Fuck you and your jive talk. The easiest thing in the world to do is sell people some vague message that says: "Distrust all politicians. They're all liars and crooks. Power to the people!!" When you are that intellectually lazy, you get to sound like a rebel without doing any of the hard work it takes to have your own opinions. Once again, fuck you.

  • am i the only one getting depressed from this episode

  • STOP NAFTA AND YOU END THE WAR ON DRUGS.

    NAFTA is a huge contributor to this problem of drugs. Please mention that next time. :D

  • @Auraruth8 how is nafta contributing to the war on drugs? Prohibition is the problem. Mexico and canada just need to legalize all drugs. Then the US can go fuck themselves with the war on drugs. I'm not american :P

  • @SmallFries01 Read Propaganda and the Public Mind with Noam Chomsky and you will get an explanation. I find it hard having a reasonable conversation over the internet.

  • @SmallFries01 Cheap stuff from the us coming to latin america, forcing farmers to grow drugs to sell. thats how NAFTA has worked out. Read propaganda and the public mind for instance, Im sure theres more.

  • almost 10,000 videos FTW

  • Sorry Obama, you are done.. i hope you don't get the black vote too, you fucking piece of shit.. you can run as a republican now

  • Wait so Casey Anthony is equivocal to Osama? God damn it I hate blondes.

  • I disagree with TYT on this "Catholics are the same as muslims". Islam has not gone through the reformation and enlightenent. Muslim countries for the most part, with the exeption of turkey haha, do not hold western values. Christianity is insane. But western nation hold secular views. Muslim mojority countries do not.

  • @SmallFries01 Christianity is beyond insane though - when they weren't causing genocides to other religions they were massacring their own.

  • War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength, Big Brother is watching you.

  • "Now on to the fun hour"

    ...

    "Gangs in Mexico hanged naked bodies from a pedestrian bridge"

    ;_;

  • Do TYT know, that Quran says that it is O.K. to lie to unbelievers and to say 1 thing to unbelievers and 2 to believers. So how can you decide when they lie?

  • @Overkillerr Shut you stupid ass motherfucker you dont know shit about the Quran, you fucking bigot

  • The name's Cockus. Biggus Cockus.

  • The US system is a pretty cool guy.

    He makes the rich rich and doesn't afraid of the poor

  • fuck calderon, really fuck him!! stupid war on drugs ... its killing my country!

  • @playgrrrr in sickness and in health, deal with it.

  • @playgrrrr

    Cenk didn't really talk about that as much as the idea he was saying it's fine to abandon this woman. That is the thing that I think is disturbing, not the sorrow of watching a family member degrade and the reality of its effect.

  • @MBAYMZTU =Cenk [talked about] the idea he was saying it's fine to abandon this woman.= The point is that this woman is effectively nonexistant once Alzheimer's has taken full effect. I know first hand what it does to a person. My grandmother had herself be erased by it. It's horrible. There is no point in keeping that empty shell around if there is no known cure, and it's wrong to force anyone to spend their life servicing this body.

  • @playgrrrr

    That isn't really the message of Jesus though, with the self sacrificing to look after others actually turning into abandoning an ill woman you loved all your life so you can have another woman. I know it's difficult, but I don't condone that. Having that relationship and still looking after his wife is understandable, but abandonment? No

  • @MBAYMZTU I agree about "Jesus' POV" , but it's superstition, while the condition is real.

  • @playgrrrr He is not right. He suggests the man should divorce his wife--and this is a guy who claims to uphold the sanctity of marriage?

  • @playgrrrr there was promising research in plaque clearance and nueron regrowth using stemcells... but guess who was against that. the point isn't whether pat was right or wrong, the point was his hypocrisy. liberals are fine with divorcing for ANY reason. pat robertson is the one who believes all divorce is wrong. not to mention according to robertson's religion alzheimers isn't a death, cause the "soul" is still in the body.

  • The poverty level is too low.

  • @playgrrrr Sure. But the point was hypocrisy, not that he was right. Because in the eyes of his Gaw-duh, Pat was NOT right to say that.

  • @playgrrrr well what pat robertson doesn't realize is that he just brought up a very hard to reconcile problem in his beliefs and the christian faith.they claim your "soul" is who are you,the whole mind-body duality bs,so alzheimers begs the question,did this woman lose her soul?Does she now have a new soul,or no soul?Or does your soul have nothing to do with who you are(because it doesn't exist)?The whole faith hinges on the existence of these "souls" and their ability to reach heaven.

  • @sluggdiddyyddidgguls Good point, and since my position is anti-theism as well it's one I'm happy to see noticed by others.

  • @playgrrrr But still, if the husband divorces her now she has no caregiver unless she is put into a nursing home.

    Robertson should really be saying how horrible that husband is for cheating on his wife and wanting to just get away from her all when this is a time she really needs someone to care for her.

  • @PaleoNychus =But still, if the husband divorces her now she has no caregiver= Alzheimer's makes it so that there is no "she" anymore. What you people seem to suggest is to force people to stick around and suffer through the loss of their loved one every single day. Do you have any idea how cruel that is - to see what was once someone you knew be unable to have a simple conversation, but being otherwise physiologically functional - a zombie?!

  • @PaleoNychus I understand Robertson's hypocrisy in his superstition of choice. But that superstition has no basis in reality, while the condition has. You can't possibly advocate using an untruth (superstition) as a basis to push morally questionable behaviour on people, justifying a wrong with a falsehood - how does that even work? Oppose his religion, but leave this decision alone.

  • @playgrrrr

    Um, I do oppose his superstition and religion but what does that have to do with this situation.

    And doesn't my opinion have a basis in reality as well.

    One of my aunts had Alzheimer's and her husband didn't leave her.

    In the case of my grandma, she received the worse care in a nursing home because she couldn't walk (she had MS). My mom took care of her and my grandpa until they died a few years ago.

    I don't care what the man's religion is, I just care that he's abandoning his wife

    I don't care what the man's religion is, but I think he's abandoning his wife.

  • @PaleoNychus What I'm trying to get across is that it is no longer his wife, his wife is no longer existent, depending on how far the condition has progressed. That's the only reason (and bc no measure to reverse the condition is available) why I say that it is morally questionable to force anyone, let alone a non-professional, to take care of her.

  • @playgrrrr dude, the soul is eternal. she still stuck in that body! SOUL BABY!

  • @playgrrrr Wtf u saying so that women or man u love for 30 or 40 or 50 years , u can just divorce and kick them out of the house ?! Fuck sake, people like u need to be stop! wheres the Christ that fucking charlatan in u??

  • @XXXXNanoXXXxxx =Wtf u saying so that women or man u love for 30 or 40 or 50 years , u can just divorce and kick them out of the house ?! Fuck sake, people like u need to be stop! wheres the Christ that fucking charlatan in u??= I just told you that Alzheimer's ERASES a person. I had to see my grandmother go away like that 1st hand. It's a really terrible condition. The last part I don't even understand. Show some respect to the people who had to see relatives taken away like this 1st hand ffs.

  • @playgrrrr yes but divorcing them is a bit dickish. Wouldn't you say?

  • @Perudua It depends on the circumstances.

  • @Perudua most definitely dickish

  • @Perudua most definitely dickish

  • @Perudua

    lets assume you can care for the person and get married to someone else.

  • @playgrrrr Cenk isn't right in this case, but that does not make Pat Robertson right either. It's a complicated matter, but if you love someone you don't leave them to fend on their own. I'm not saying you should be forced to stay with you Alzheimer's ridden spouse, however depending on how you do it that could make you a "bad" person.

  • @playgrrrr oh please, so the guy is right one time out of many lies, go ahead trust the fuck, see what that gets you

  • Comment removed

  • since nixon started the war on drugs the violence has gotten steadily worse throughout the world that is why when i hear people harp about drugs should stay illegal i wonder what the hell they are thinking about especially as they are sucking on their bottle of bud

  • Comment removed

  • ...and in mexico we have a HUUUGE difference between classes!

  • Do we have a progressive alternative for Obama? Will PCCC come up with someone? Anyone knows a viable third party candidate? And please: ron-paulites, don't mention your messiah. I'm not interested in nut-jobs.

  • Conservative: remember the days when the poor had NOTHING and would die in the streets? Now the poor have at least extremely cheap commodity goods, which means they aren't poor anymore. Let's stomp on those roaches!!

  • @dfg93353 So, capitalism does work...Thank you for your insightful testimony.

  • Jon Stewart: Mr. President, how old are you

    Obama: 50

    Jon: ...and you wear a bow tie.

  • Why can't he pray her consciousness back. Why doesn't he ask God to bring her back so they could fuk?

  • since i watched this,im going to make a noose out of the bills i have to pay on my table.

  • I wish we lived in a world that didn't need the young turks.

  • WHY DO THESE COME OUT YEARS LATER THAN THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO

  • It is bothering me to the nth degree that more people don't have sense enough to look at the power players behind these politicians -on both 'sides'- and how they all pretty much are funded by, sit on the board of directors of, and ultimately subscribe to, the SAME AGENDA! That agenda is simple: world depopulation.

  • @theguitarczar

    Lol what? Well, if that's the case they are failing. Badly.

  • @robinvik1 Is that so? Maybe you should look critically at your surroundings; at the teaching; at the 'program/regurgitate' ethos of Western Medicine. I'm not trying to convince the lost. If you have $500,000 worth of credentials hanging on your wall, it would be a major ego slam to have to admit it is mostly fraud. Oh well. Truth doesn't respect shadows.

  • @theguitarczar

    Yes, that is so. We have positive population growth all over the world (with a few exceptions like Denmark), so if their goal is world depopulation they are failing. So maybe you should look more critically at your conspiracy theories. (Also, noone in my country has 500, 000 worth of credentials doe to education being free.)

  • Prohibition will end only when there are people hanging from bridges in America untill that i really dont think they care.

  • Cenk always mentions this "filibuster proof majority", that's simply NOT TRUE. Lieberman was part of the 60 in the Senate, and there were the 'blue dogs'.

  • ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

  • altho i see where cenk is coming from about how all muslims aren't guilty in their day to day lives, i do think that if you follow and support a religion that hurts it's own (and no, it's not a religion of peace) then you're just as guilty as those doing it.  just like with catholics and child abuse. if you still believe if that god when the hand of that god touches children, then you might as well touch them too for all i care.

  • @o3MTA3o

    Any branch of Christianity, Judaism and Islam have a massive foundational flaw. The god depicted in each of the texts is logically contradictory, the history laid out is completely wrong, the method used of "creation" is wrong, the morality is completely lacking. The god of the Abrahamic traditions doesn't exist.

  • @o3MTA3o Dumbest assessment I have ever read. Clearly you regard yourself as cocky as the rest of those whom pass judgment upon the majority of the population on earth ie religion followers. What I find laughable however are people like who waste more time bashing religions than you've never studies thoroughly in university or read any sociological studies on the subjects - that is if you even go to university let alone went into the study of religion. How about you read BOOKS and go to classes?

  • @o3MTA3o Or maybe you regard yourself as the know it all and think your opinion of a subject you clearly know absolutely nothing about makes you qualified to assess?People like you make my skin crawl, yet I have to read this kind of garbage. I force myself to tolerate such poison in order to best understand why you all do what you do - my conclusion thus far is: You have no real valid argument at all and base your idiotic logic on what you feel more than what you actually know - which is nothing

  • @ZephonTLucifer relax yourself moron. i hate all religion equal. and knowing there are mindless sheep out there who follow what they were indoctrinated to follow makes my skin crawl too. i have a valid opinion as i have studied world religion both in school and as a personal interest. and yeah. if you believe in child rapists and woman beaters then you're fucking guilty by association. done.

  • the rich get richer and the poor gets poorer, it will reach a breaking point one day ! there will be 2 classes in this country the rich and the poor , with no middle class. it will be the fall of this country !

  • @xxcrossed No worries- Violent conflict before it'll get to that level, and the thing about the rich is they never really win violent conflict.

  • America developed country

    America 46.200.000 people in poverty

    developed - 46.200.000 in poverty - trolololol

  • @xxcrossed

    You sound like Karl Marx :P

  • @xxcrossed

    There already is two classes! Even $1 mill. a year is still for most a lifestyle of payments and bills, With 3-6 months of savings, for the life they lead. But the few who are 50 mil plus, or plus plus plus, are in a total different reality than we all live in. Money no longer limits, they do, what, when, and where they want. Spending sick amounts on whatever whim.

  • @xxcrossed Why hasn't reached a breaking point already? What will it take?

  • @xxcrossed I think Revolution might be in order.

  • The Republican party should be abolished.

  • Political manipulation of wealth is a very bad idea...Remember the French Revolution. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. We need to flush out all these greedy pricks and hope there isnt massive voter fraud next year.

  • The rich dont need help they arent starving or losing their homes. Its pathetic that anyone in America is living in poverty especially when you consider poverty is politically manipulated by politicians for their own greed.

  • Corporations dont create jobs when they make massive profits then yank their corporate charter and freeze their assets and take our money back from them.

  • Corporations dont create jobs when they make massive profits then yank their corporate charter and freeze their assets and take our money back from them.

  • Why dont we conduct drone strikes on these drug cartel fuckheads in Mexico instead of our "allies" in Pakistan?

  • Why dont we conduct drone strikes on these drug cartel fuckheads in Mexico instead of our "allies" in Pakistan?

  • Wouldnt a cartel be considered a terrorist organization?

  • Wouldnt a cartel be considered a terrorist organization?

  • @random69ism

    only if they commit acts of terrorism, and I would definitely consider murdering people and hanging them up with threatening signs an act of terrorism

  • @xxcrossed It will be the rise of a new one.. after a revolution

  • @xxcrossed it will be the second american revolution

  • It's always great to watch Cenk talk with captions on and then see Obama talk with captions on. Obama's captions are a million times better.

  • TYT ARMY!!!

  • whoopdedoo
