  • Shame, I liked TYT so much more before this. Check out the video titled "Occupy vs. Top 1%" for counterbalance. Funny, too.

  • Money is the tool of your enslavement, capitalism is the manner.

  • Stupid statist fuckwit.

  • MY GOD , cenk knows jack shit about anarchism. what annoys me the most is that he has such a pompous attitude when describing the "abolish money " signs . this is by far the most ignorant TYT clip i've seen.

  • The most clueless report from TYT that I have ever seen. May as well have been Fox News reporting on this.

  • So you call your show Turkish. 56 less corrupt country (transparency international) in the world. Needs to fake democracy, otherwise it ends up with sharia law. Because of Ataturk Turkey is somehow a modern country. You know what happens without that. Dictatorship always corrupts and seems to have some subscription on civil wars. Turkey would probably end up somewhere at the bottom of that corruption list. Oh, they still not admitting that Armenian genocide. What a cool country, guts. Real Turks

  • This dude has never been to the UK. Bunny suits and the like are quite normal for anything over here. XD

  • This guy does not understand left wing Anarchism.

  • The Dumturks offer up half truths and uninformed opinions all day long. If he wore a rabbit suit at least people would know he is supposed to be a joke.

  • Booooo. Be creative think really how we would abolish money!

  • anarchists are retards

  • @Daisy4Loka well, what about Noam Chomsky ?

    he's an anarchist and he's widely considered a genius political thinker...

  • This guy's smugness really can make you a liberal. I mean, I'm not even an anarchist and I agree, these protestors were kind of borderline wacko, but what's the point of being a douchebag about everything you talk about? Also the fact that he laughs and smiles at his own (if you can call them) jokes, which I hate the most. Fuck you, "Young Turk" guy.

  • @MotherNikita His name is Cenk Uygur. And if you dont like this show dont watch it. He speaks a lot of true stuff on their show so piss off. You dont need to be a sinical asshole everywhere you go, so his jokes even if they are not that good all of the time are better then nothing.

  • @Teufelsnachbar667 I don't plan to watch it again. And don't make fun of my cynicism, damn it!!! I guess I was pissed at something when I watched this, so I was kind of just trolling to let off some steam. I do love how you agreed with me that the guy isn't that funny though.

  • @MotherNikita he grows on you after a while...fact is, this show has more substance and facts in the two hour show than some news networks have all day

  • @darkinertia2 ...

  • @darkinertia2 I'm sure, it's not what he says or his opinion that annoys me. It's the smugness. I agree with the 'more substance and facts' thing though, ultra liberal and conservative media outlets always just use their rooted beliefs as facts and call you stupid or fascist when they're ignorant, naive, or just wrong about something. That's why I like factcheck, they're at least TRYING to be free thinkers.

  • @MotherNikita yeah hes pretty cocky and smug....but thats just who he is as a personality. you gotta be extreme when your talking about politics and i think its cuz he genuinely cares...you can tell when hes angry as fuck that its all real

  • @darkinertia2 I respect that. I also do love when someone is really passionate about an issue, it shows that they truely care. That's why I've always like Bill Hicks.

  • @MotherNikita hahah i just checked out bill hicks hes pretty awesome im gonna love watching his vids

  • @darkinertia2 Cool, I'm glad I was able to recommend him to you, even though I thought you probably already knew him. 

  • @darkinertia2 Thank you for being respectful to my asshole comment also. I forgot to add that in my last comment.

  • @MotherNikita yeah i like factcheck too...if theres one thing ive learned about politics is that you take everything with a grain of salt cuz the dems and republicans will lie lol..which is why i love this show so much cuz for the most part hes pretty fair...yeah hes more liberal but he destroys obama lol...youd never see a conservative bad mouthing a republican president cuz of some stupid "rule" reagan said

  • Cops were mixed in with the protesters and insinuated a lot of the damage themselves in Toronto.

  • ??? :)

  • @rider4343 i doubt that. and why are they not employed... oh thats right the bankers they are protesting engineered economic collapse, rendering many but not most of those protesters jobless.

  • Shout mchead Wound man!!

  • Abolishing money is not absurd. It has been done; in Spain, for example, anarcho-communist societies were established in the 1930s. Goods were distributed without any formal quid pro quo, "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need." This was done among hundreds of thousands if not millions of people, and it worked quite well: production and standard of living increased.

    Abolishing money is a legitimate idea. Don't just dismiss it!

  • @QuatFax "Abolishing money is a legitimate idea. Don't just dismiss it!"

    OK but just saying abolish money is not enough-- how should we go about doing so.

  • @badpanda84 The idea is that we would set up a gift economy, where goods that exist in surplus are distributed freely and goods that are scarce are rationed according to need. Different communities can make their own specific decisions. They had something like this in the rural regions of Spain in the 30s. It was actually quite productive (overall productivity in Aragon, for example, jumped 20%).

  • @QuatFax ". Different communities can make their own specific decisions" who exactly would make the decision --and how can you ensure they wont be corrupt or try and cheat the system for there own personal again

  • @badpanda84 The decisions are made democratically.

    As far as gaming the system, that's a problem in ANY society. But different communities can decide, democratically, what policies work best for them to deal with that sort of problem.

  • @QuatFax "The decisions are made democratically" That ok in theory but what are you going to do -- have a vote for every little issuse

  • @badpanda84 Probably not. One way they might do it is vote on all major issues and elect representatives to carry out day-to-day issues. The representatives would be recallable and responsible to them, leaving the people still holding the power.

    Of course, different communities might try different things. Some actually might try to hold votes on all issues, even day-to-day things. There is no one-size-fits-all model.

  • @QuatFax problem with the protestors is that they are all talk and no action ( or at least no constructive action).

  • @badpanda84 Well, I think they just don't have enough followers to do anything. Take me, for example: I'm an anarchist. I have a lot of ideas for how to change society, but I can't carry them out until a large minority of the population agrees with them. Until then, the best I can do is protest and try to raise awareness.

  • Run for your lives! The furrys and the sith lords are pissed!

    But seriously now, if the the people doesn't raise some hell every once in a while the gouvernment will stop fearing them.

  • yeah cenk why dont we sit on our ass's like you and your big mac eating countrymen and justwhine about life that'll work.....................fat fool

  • irritating, incoherent fuckwit

  • this guy is a moron no g8 g20!

  • No, the bunny costume would definitely add to your credibility. Liberals are psycho!

  • Anyone else hate these guys?

  • @SeverEnergia yup! lol

  • People aren't going crazy, people are resisting.

  • Now money has no value and as a civilized society (which doesnt exist yet) would constitute equality and Life as the constant rate of determining who i sentitled. Money is for unevolved Humans not realistic empowered Life Head which Humanity I think should consider. Eternity has also a necessity for intellect and the media today is conspiratorial and biased instead of perfect and intelligent. Time for choice is when God says ok do you want a money world or a Love world?You Chose......

  • They destroy property built with resources bought by money ok?Now property is theft considering a world that is righteous has no properties as every person owns everything from the beginning to the infinite. Meaning also that people choose science and compassion and wisdom as leadership componants ok?Now resources are the essence of Eternal Life and as we can all live as minimalists very happy etc. until such a day as the ill death of our star then resources can be used to abandon the Earth

  • @SuperChristopherZ Alright well im going to come by on tuesday and take your computer for a week. Don't worry you can have my grapes.

  • what an asshole!

  • anarchists are stupid

  • @TheOnlyAttrition thats what jews used to say, right before the rise of hitler.

  • @deceiver123m Jews used to laugh at the protesters in Germany and said they are crazy.... well the worker class protesters rose up and caused a shit storm.... and that lead to the rise of hitler. SO either give in to the protesters demands to kick out the bankers or expect a hitler.

  • @TheOnlyAttrition so you watch the fuck out banker symphatizer

  • @deceiver123m what the fuck is your crazy ass talkin about?

  • Obviously a world without money would be ruled by Love but of course you dumb people dont know what Love is rightttt??? You see God exists and a world run by money kills lil children but you can support the murder of children to benefit your monetary disease and feel free to but all that good stuff out there, but you could agree that money is retarded unless every body starts out with the same amount and the world is equal until then you are just a retard with a neat voice

  • wtf! Anarchists who are protesting the G20 wouldn't take the fucking money! What the hell are you talking about?!

  • this guy told it like it is. some where there to protest peacefully for a justified cause, others there to cause trouble and be......odd. Protestors are often the bad guys, not ALL of them but you cant blame police as well as the general public for thinking your crazy when police cars are burning, windows are being smashed, and grafiti being painted.

  • @theyoungturks

    One thing you need to realize is that shills are put into the mix during these protests in order to cause problems, taking the attention away from the issues and labeling the entire movement as a violent anarchist riot. It's obvious only a few people were bent on destruction of property and violence, had that been the entire mobs intent, it would have turned ugly real fast. There may have been a few bad apples there but I'm certain there were planted antagonizers.

  • @N1k1mon planted antagonizers? yeah right, join us back down here on earth buddy.

  • Comment removed

  • This is a terrible 'news' segment from Cenk.. Instead of reporting the news (the who, what, where, when, why, and how re: the protests) in a reasonably neutral fashion, Cenk lets his ideological bias get the best of him and dubs those who see a link between money and class antagonism as 'crazies.' What Cenk does here is not much better than what Fox News does every time it covers a story involving 'liberals' and/or Democrats.

  • Young TURKS ? t Turkey is part of nazi world wide gov. they been friend with Hitler, and they now are licking ass of USA. another Nazi country ,, fuck turks

  • your a fucking dick. if there was no money there would be no such thing as classes. everyone would be the same money is our problem

  • tyt sucks!

  • a little research goes a long way

  • @Tufty ...And a little research is a dangerous thing.

  • The crowd is right about the need to get rid of FIAT money, we need real money which would be siver and gold.

  • only a crazy few where doing the things. Most people just protested. It wasn't a full scale bunny, anarchist, money burning riot.

  • i love russell brand there haha. dude capitalism made you and your gf rich!

  • This young ignorant turks always have a stupid opinion to say. This idiots are so brainwash by those sympathetic wolfs duisguise as sheep.

  • I'm a capitalist all the way! but I am against what those police did in Pittsburgh!

  • if i'm honest i think you should actually learn what you're talking about before you make videos like these

  • this guy is ignorant

  • Ha, this guy clearly doesn't know the first thing about anti-capitalism nor its history. What would we do if we abolished money? Here's a starter:

    Read Homage to Catolonia by Orwell. Learn about anarchism in the spanish revolution. Learn about the history of the IWW in the US. Learn about the Kronstadt uprising against the Bolsheviks. Learn about the Paris Commune. Learn about the Zapatista uprising. Learn about the factory occupations in Argentina.

    Freedom and equality!

  • One thing more bug's me about this guy lol needs to grow up and see reality for what it really is, live in a bubble mate.

  • Wanna know what I am?

    I'm not Anti-Government,

    BUT I am Anti-Corrupt Government.

    Government was created by man to serve man and to protect man, now the man is serving Government.

  • i wonna see cenk in a bunny-outfit!!

  • we need a stable currency. basing our currency on oil prices doesn't work. i don't think it has to be gold. but oil is to up and down. oil went up and people adjusted. solar panels were going through the roof then. and fuel efficient cars.

  • I do not believe the monetary system works, I would love to cover all the reasons why, but this is a youtube comment and I can't cover all of it. I would like to direct you to The Zeitgeist Movement though. Please watch Zeitgeist Addendum, after watching this film you get a good idea of why our social structure is failing and how it is negatively affecting the world we live in.

  • Russell Brand just chillin'

  • If i find this guy im going to punch him in the face for how rude and selfish he is im with the UK and US protestors abolish money we dont need this monetary system no more!

  • they only protest to break shit some people are like that. sad but true

  • I would have taken the million pounds for sure

    only to set it on fire in a big pile on the front steps of the bank.

  • 1:48 is that Russell Brand??! o.O

  • Who knows what that gathering really looked like. There could have been hundreds of "legitimate" demonstrators along with a few people using the opportunity to be riotous. Media can easily focus on the few to discredit the lot.

    A treacherous banker can pay a riotous lot to go out affording the very captive media a means to say, "Pay no attention to these people...they're anarchists".

    There's an ongoing war of public perception, people best start thinking critically.

  • you say 'they're anarchists' as if being an anarchist is an illegitimate political philosophy. I would say if you started really thinking critically you'd see anarchy was the best policy. I believe it is the current system that is already in place which is irrational and implausible and that belief in vindicated on a daily basis by all the evidence on the news.

  • "If I started to really think critically"? Slow down partner and read my post again. Did I pass any personal opinion on anarchy?

    The post is a hypothetical of how media can be used to distort and marginalize by creating a false correlation of any particular group or political ideology to riotous behavior and violence.

  • You should be broadcasting on closed circuit tv, to the ones that brought you up.

    Seems there's been some serious neglect.

    What we see and hear is, a kid, totally stuck in an pover attempt to be heared and loved, deprived of empathy spiritual growth.

    You remind me of another bright light, G W Bush.

    Deplorable.

  • You are right about one thing that's for sure... NOBODY TAKES YOUR STUPID ASS SERIOUSLY!!! You clown!!

  • tool

  • Hey fuck you buddy. Worldwide revolution coming soon.

  • its now buddy

  • fuck that guy. no one takes you seriously.

  • hey dumb shit.. you take obama seriously. whats crazier bunny suits at a protest or the fact that you think obama is looking out for your best interest? you dont stand for anything you sheep

  • well tyt is right about that. those people were crazy. you see what will happen if we didn't hav capitalism? we would not hav shops, resturuants, and all those other companies. the Media was saying that these peoples were heroes but they were hiding it. they called the Tea Party maniacs. well look at these guys.

  • thats because the protesters are confused

  • i just think they're a bunch of phsycos. and the Media says that the police attacks peaceful protesters, but they call the Tea party protest crazy protesters

  • you think the main stream media is phsycos? i do to

  • To the people from both london and pburg. who marched in a civil manner cudos to you!

  • 54 million in damages to who the banks? no!! The regular mom and pops shops yeah thats peacefull...they didnt deserve to have officers treat them like the fucktards they were? Hey why dont you post your address and have shitloads of people go to your home and let them go all peacefull on your shit and after that dont be upset... no no... and let not the government (aka cops) do one thing to the people who ruin YOUR shit.

    There is no reason to commit violence... violence begets violence.

  • Hey dicks hes talking about london not the one in the USA mental midgets... Put on your listening ears. Whats the point in breaking shit and the bunny suits? Makes people think its a bunch of stupid british tards gathering instead of marching civil like. What people need to realise is no one takes dumb shits seriously. Shit I fuckin dont. Like a bunch of glen becks...runing amuck. And Pr0 I voted Obama and will again if he pushes for health care for all.

  • glenn beck is closer to the truth then you or OBAMA's childish acts.

  • Bahahaha. Hahhaha XD

  • whats so funny

  • you, idiot

  • shut up

  • You're funny. Not funny as in haha, I mean funny as in "Whoa, that guys not right." type of funny.

  • well im right

  • Hahah If you think so.

  • im serious dude dont listen to the mainstream media sept for glenn beck

  • CENK U FUCKIN KNOW THAT SHIT AT PBURG WAS JUST FUUCKING WRONG, WHY DONT U GUYS COVER THAT NEWS, honestly im gonna unsubscribe

  • This guy is a complete tool, he is bashing on his own liberal buddies I love it. these are the people who would vote for Obuma

  • I've got only one thing to say about this guy. He's a tool. He's like a super retarded tool whose only function is to show other people what a total fudgepacker looks like.

  • Idiots break windows and start fires - JACKPOT!!!!! Nobody cares about your silly protest

  • "Crazy"

    Go back to Turkey you fascist loving fat prick.

  • I am very dissapointed in Cenk, wtf?

  • Hey at 1:33, isn't that the guy from the Red Hot Chilipeppers?

  • This guy is a total douchebag.

    "I don't understand what you're talking about, so I'll just basically talk shit about you."

    What a tool.

  • Get the fuck out of our country if you think we are crazy protestors, unsubbed and spreading to the rest of my contacts your a fucking cop

  • the turks are fucking assholes, just like ALL the other news channels, im not talking about just the ones on TV.

    fucking assholes, everywhere. I'd say we abolish all means of news so people get REAL stories and not just the useless crap they put on there to distract you from the truth

  • Crazy Protesters Crazy Protesters

    Crazy Protesters Crazy Protesters

    Crazy Protesters Crazy Protesters

    lol ok

  • Why are we taking notice of the few non constructive types at the protest? There were just a few anarchists, one light sabor guy, one bunny. You are doing what the right does. Take the few extremists and focus on them. This protest was much bigger than a few folks are damaged or wore outfits you did not like.

  • i used to like them but now im unsubscribing...his retarded abolition money makes sense because all money is made with a debt already no matter who gets it...money isnt even real more than 90% of it is on computers and not in physical form. this world would be a lot better with ought retards like him

  • I think it is stupidity on this so called young turks idiot to call protestors crazy. They have the right to voice there opinions just like this moron. And by the way your so called news show SUCKS.

  • So true- I'm here in London and that protest was MASSIVE! There has been nothing on that scale in the states and he's picking one sign that he didn't like and saying this was the message of the protest. That was a beautiful day to see that many people united from all different points of view against the banker bailouts and financial fear mongering. Now that the dust has settled somewhat we all know they were right, bailout was a HUGE mistake.

  • Seattle.$54,000,000+ in damage.

  • @justmom66

    go fuck yourself back to fox news retard, and kill yourself tonight

  • @BalooDumptruck you are the prime reason why most mothers should have abortions. You are ignorant and your view on life seems to fit you. Your a moron! I am sure your mother is oh so proud of the idiot you have become in life. Let's see how far you get in life shall we lol

  • Rabbits are passive creatures. Asshole.

  • Crazy my fucking ass

    the protesters are doing the right thing, fucking jackass

  • This guy is a bitch who can't even get in his own country. He's saying "anti-capitalists", this isnt that. This is saying NO to the NWO and the 3rd WW. No to the Illuminati control. You are right, they are doing the right thing, wish there would be more that did that. He is a jackass no doubt. TyT, senin gotun sikeyim.

  • @Miskatakeable fuck protesters man, they're the bad guys. 

  • total jackass

  • The young turk used to be cool, now he is sort of a dumbass. Stonechaser is right, "fiat" money is an insane concept in my opinion.

  • omg i laughed the whole time. you sir are fuckin idiot

  • Hasn't this pompous yuppie tool been canceled yet? I know I'm gonna stop clicking on his links. He has no idea that the reform being presented by people like him is too little and too late. This guy would recognize a real problem if it bit him in the ass.

  • abolish the money have sense if you think about it . paper is worthless , gold and silver is not besides that you cant print gold and silver :) so less oportunities for these shills to bulid another credit bubble

  • they did a good job. It the police being violent towards people. PEOPLE have the right to express their disaproval of the goverment. It should be illegal for the "police" to interfere. Why arrest people? Let them tell you want they think. Freedom of speech!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • The would dress like a "bunny" to discredit the group. To make the group look silly. If you don't know anything about the subject. Don't try to mind control.

  • I'm pretty sure they are talking about abolishing 'fiat" money, the kind the government just prints whenevery they feel like it., as opposed to the old money which was a note backed by something of value like gold.

  • Comment removed

  • Non-violence is for cowards!

  • The Pittsburgh G-20 summit is coming up on Sept 24-25! I will attend and will not be protesting on the 25th.

  • bartering? And once you have bartered, and come to a price, what will you pay with? Geeze

  • He's got a pont though.

  • lets all not forget why these people are protesting ... dont let him take you off the real subject...lets not fight guys...we are all in the same boat...

  • young turk you're a fucking idiot talking of things you have no idea about.

    and your style isn't the least bit funny, professional or endearing.

  • speaking of things you have no idea about, His name is cenk.

    You just call him a idiot, Yet make no attempt to refute what hes saying, which makes your comment without any substance.

  • you have a very low sense of humour for a comedian.

    how cheap is it to ridicule people that want to have fun and call for change at the same time?

    people like you see no difference between protesting and queuing up in a supermarket. we'd all be robots if it were up to you.

    mr. young turk, you're a dickweed.

    you're a tumbling, tumbling dickweed.

  • I think the concept about abolish money is that lets face it, the class system is about having and not having...well, money. When a man in a suit gets paid £700k a year for basically an admin job...sweet for him...or MP's spending tax payers money for anything they please.

    I find ur lack of understanding, rather...1980's

  • They were unarmed with their arms up marching forward. The police killed someone and put a lot else in the hospital

  • Im pretty sure ive seen footage of them hitting cops, armed with stickes, metal poles and smashing windows. A SINGLE cop is under investigation for unnecesaraly pushing a guy to the ground...who later died. Not quite "officers killing people".

  • I didnt see that it was just that the dead protester wasnt protesting

  • coverchenko you gots it ass backwards bro, there is no gold backing the dollar bill.

    "you want the goverment to have all of the power and run our lives as it sees fit. "

    Ok bud tell me what I want.

    LOL that coming from a guy who think gold backs the dollar hahahahahahahahahahahh

  • I'll vote for you for President. Finally another person who knows that that dumbass Nixon took us off the gold standard. Nobody knows that shit man its scary.

  • shut up ya fat prick all they ppl n yoo hink yoor ryt beat it n eat wid

  • Don't ever take the piss out of the first stage of revolution. I was not present but respect those who stormed the building; we need to take over money rapists offices more often. Maybe be we should take over your office one day.

  • dude how about mentioning the police bruitality? those fucking pigs killed a guy who had nothing to do with the protest. They detained us (I was there man!) without charge, known over here as kettling, meaning once it got started no-one got in, and no-one got out, even if you were just passing through the area. Take the piss out of the bunnys by all means, but at least mention the abuse of the British public.

  • what exactly do you expect when you violently protest? police are people too and when they are surrounded by shouting angry people they are going to strike back and attempt to protect property. picture yourself in their shoes. it is your job to keep the peace and you are sent out there unarmed to keep people from rioting. you are surrounded by angry people who will do anything to instigate a riot. what would you do?

  • unarmed except for riot shields and batons, and what about those police who covered their numbered and where clearly at the protest just to kick the shit out of hippies.; I got pushed to the floor for trying to go home, I was unarmed, the cop was not. Your right, not all the police where aggressive, some may even have been scared, but they were by no means innocent of violence against peaceful protesters.

  • wannabe communists but really mostly students & animal rights protesters etc fucking wankers not real people who pay taxes etc.

  • You're a dumb ass. Quit distorting what happened with your one sided and absurd interpretations. "I mean come on! a Bunny outfit!" You sound like fucking douche.

  • your a complete idiot, those people are fighting for a good reason, anarchist? MORON, this is used to demonize them, and i bet any money the people doing most of the damage was cops posing as protesters, they did this in Canada and got caught. Oh and we never had money once before, if you cant see that the federal reserve is a complete scam then you are more of a moron than I already think you are.

  • Anti Capitalists have been around for years - not a new category at all

  • Babylon the great is the United States of America!

    Rev 18 and Jer:51 with Isaiah30:25 and Isaiah9:8-10

    Isaiah (9:8-19) is the exact description of our rebuilding the freedom twin towers Just b4 total destruction as it happened in ancient Israel,

    They were defiant just as we are Americas end will be the same!

    America will be completely destroyed soon! Within months as will the rest of the globe! because America will not turn around. As you read this you have had your last warning!

  • resource based economy can work look at google

  • stick to commenting on US issues as you clearly don't know the details here. the bank smashing incident was set up to discredit the protests - it was the only bank not boarded up on the street and let it happen. the theme of the protests was 'financial april fools', hence the stupid outfits. oh and britain is a lot more left wing than the US, so when there are protests all the anarchists and hippies come out of the woodwork to air their views. most people there did not want to abolish money.

  • haha, what a stupid FUCK!

    I want my 4:32 minutes back

  • After watching your "Crazy Protesters At the G-20 Summit" video I'm done watching the crap you spout. Comments such as "...it just makes you look French and radical..." regarding the protests just makes you look "neo-liberalist and a cunt".

  • FRINGE! Fringe and Radical.

    Not French.

  • Still sounds like "French" to me. Not that it makes much difference to his bullshit rhetoric. He most certainly sounds like a neo-liberalist. In short, a cunt.
