  • A fine speech. So do we just have to get this money to get the people who implement policies to agree with our position? Is there a better way?

  • A liberal in favor of gambling?That's surprising to me as gambling shows who is the master race.

  • how difficult and CHEAP to start a check like a credit card, issue a magnet strip card with small biometric fingerprint reader (extremely cheap, does not collect actual fingerprint database but a unique combination of "dots" and works extremely well - eg. built into all my lenovo's) a little upgrade from the cards the casino's use now. subscriber based, up the hardware security against most (D)DOS and time it for a physical finger scan to keep bots down? my 12yr old son can code it.

  • This is my favorite liberal who has a show. It's nice to see that not everyone has to be so polarizing

  • We shouldn't have a one-size-fits-all federal government that has the power to regulate our lives... We should have a bunch of small local governments that we can easily influence and change.

    One government for 300+ million people doesn't make any sense. Smaller is better... Local is better. Let's shrink the federal government so we can have control of our own lives again.

  • @dontOVERREACT there needs to be interaction between business and state. without any, this country would be done for.

  • Thumbs up if the ad you're seeing next to the video is for online gambling.

  • Bought Bitches!!

  • This is BS!

  • heh heh heh, somebody made a funny HEHEHEHE!

  • 43 states run lotteries every day of the year. So the government doesn't have a moral leg to stand on in its opposition to gambling. One of the 7 states that does not run a lottery is Nevada, so you know moral opposition to gambling is not Nevada's motive either.

  • I don't think "Thrillist is the illest" is a great slogan for a site recommending restaurants. Seeing images of sushi rolls while hearing the word "illest" makes me feel uneasy.

  • all poker players especially the us poker players intending to play wsop this year should ban wsop and not play , claiming the retaliation over online poker for wsop reputation and las vegas casinos organizing it would be a knife in the back

  • @braileanul USA players can still play online poker and get 35% rakeback by going to wwwlockpoker35com...i like your idea about boycotting the wsop, if we could get Harrah's and ESPN on our side it would be a game changer...but I'm still playing online poker every day because i went to wwwlockpoker35com and got an awesome sign up bonus and rakeback deal

  • While we're at it, let's legalize marijuana too. The revenue that could be generated from that.....Plus, there would probably be a lot less crime and drunk driving. :)

  • Cause were bailing retards like you who loose everything and spend all there money on wants not needs. People like you are the reason why we are in dept.

  • why not overthrow the current system of an outstanding leader that answer only to their secretaries and forge a new system that relies on the community as a whole.

    because when it comes down to it, the government wont kill all their people to stop a riot, thats degrading profits.

  • all true

  • Online Gambling Will Be Legalize

  • Looks like Harry Reid might not get it done right now. Conservatives are really complaining about it and it makes no sense. The bill would create billions of dollars for federal as well as state governments and the conservative states can opt out if they choose to so it will remain illegal in their state. You'd think since they are going to continue to support the tax cuts to the wealthy which increases the deficit, you'd think they'd support something which will reduce it to a small degree.

  • if you want freedom these days, you probably have to move to another country.

  • Cenk, you rock. Great channel guys.

  • we need to give all the people up top the boot and let americans vote on everything.

  • @sho5621

    Americans are fucking stupid so I doubt that would do you any good.

  • We should make corruption and taking bribes a capital offense. The only thing people value more than money is there lives and their families lives. May sound to extreme ,but I bet it would work.

  • @jack5051525354 except we have seen time and time again that jail is not a deterent. Best just to make it a flat rate. Set a ceiling cap on how much you can spend on a campaign. Donations to political parties needs to be outlawed in general, along with pay decreases to politicians. Hard to vote for bush tax cuts when that means your income, when really it shouldn't matter. Hell, congress should be paid average american income.

  • LMAO Bought bitches indeed.

  • Cenk is funny sometimes. He thinks it is okay to blow all your money on gambling, but you should still get wellfare and health insurance for free. I guess so that they can spend more money on gambling. Kind of like... wow, most of my high school drop outs. Maybe we should just combine the two, you get free healthcare if you get 7-7-7's

  • @bluefootedpig

    Wow you are dumber than shit, if a person want's to blow their money on gambling that is their choice you fascist pig. And paying for people to live with universal health care sure as FUCK beats paying for people to die with an over inflated military budget.

  • @Shadowlit001 Did i say i approved of the military budget? I do not at all, our budget for the military needs to be cut in half, if not more. But tell me, do you donate to every bum you pass on the street? every single one? even a quarter? if you don't, then why not? taxes would cost you more, and you are still helping him out. Why not start a movement and start giving money to the homeless. Or are you all talk? You want to force others to do what you could be doing?

  • The thing to realize is that this problem will NEVER change! The Monied Interests will ALWAYS win in America! Money rules the nation and that is the way it will always be in a capitalist society! I like capitalism, but we must all recognize its faults. A bought govt is the price we pay for living in a capitalist society.

  • @halette20001

    Except other capatlist countries don't have nearly the same problem as America? Is it because in America corporations are given more freedoms then people and when people try to change that the politicians and pundits scream communism?

  • @OsirisLord agreed.

  • I'm leaning more and more of voting for Obama's Primary Challenger... hope he/she is a good one...

  • That ad at the end was the fucking best internet ad I've ever seen. Specially Ana's little lip curl when she said "illest"

    Fucking funny!!!

  • i do hate it cent. but the rest of America is still in dream land thinking everything would just work out in the end.

  • i will always gamble abroad. it will always be cheaper.

  • WooHoo!! Another Bubble! Everybody invest in the Casinos! Everybody rush, don't think, buy, Buy, BUY!!!

    :)

    :P

  • not allowed to gamble? What if I said banks bought into big jackpot lotteries, then what? Maybe this is something that should be looked into. For all I know that's going to be in the next wikileak related to banks. I know someone who used to work for a big US bank who assures me they buy into the big jackpot lotteries.

    Sorry if that's too much of a teaser but for obvious reasons of not wanting to become the next Andrew Maguire you'll have to find evidence on your own

  • This is bullshit

    Ok so why dont they make netflix illegal? They ran out blockbuster and hollywood video right?

    If liberals are socialists then the conservatives are fascists

  • I thought that was Reid I saw at the Grunting Gentleman Sweat Lodge outside of Reno.

    It's a bit like Comcast's turnaround on streaming videos since they bought HULU.

  • I'm pretty young and this is exactly what I try to say but I can never seem to figure out ways to say it and explain it like u can :)

  • Thanks Cenk, this is a travesty! I really wish you left the end (commercial) off, and made people stick with the meat, but what the hell, ALL mainstream media does it!

  • @joetylerdale SO HOW DO U PROPOSE HE GET MONEY TO KEEP THE SHOW RUNNING? GET IT FROM HIS OLD MONEY FAMILY? ONLY WHITE REPUBLICAN PPL HAVE THAT KIND OF OPPORTUNITY IN AMERICA

  • @sactowncr1minal I said, "What the hell"! Like I KNOW THAT, If Cenk would ask for a donation, I will send him one! The real reason was that with such a dramatic show, I wish he could have ended it with out a commercial to distract all the village idiots out there.

  • The gambling industry could move into online gambling as well as real world gambling like the music industry.

  • i would only vote for obama if palin had any chance of winning.

    we need to make sure that shit doesn't happen. ever.

  • @CooperLordOfAll

    Which is why the Republicans AREN'T going to nominate Sarah Palin and Obama is going to be very confused when he becomes a one term president.

  • @CooperLordOfAll

    No we need to vote in Palin and destroy America. Fuck this country, lets make it burn.

  • @CooperLordOfAll That's a fucked up mentality. Lesser of two evils? Vote for a 3rd party candidate. The only reason why they don't win is because people like you say this less of two evil bullshit and don't give 3rd party candidates a chance.

    The only good thing that may come from the Tea Party is the possible emergence of a strong 3rd party (Murkowsky won as an independent which is progress too).

  • @CooperLordOfAll ?  Why is this thumbed up? Voting for the lesser of 2 evils doesn't work. Obama and McCain's campaigns in 08 were funded by the same bailout receiving banks. Why not vote for a guy whose loyalty is with the country and freedom, instead of with the corporations and banks. The media is so sellout, they influence peoples opinion(brainwash) and say RON PAUL is a "fringe candidate" or "can't win." His own party doesn't like him because he doesn't put the party b4 the country.

  • I try to warn people of the New World Order but people are too naive and stupid to realize it. Only way to escape the NWO is accept Jesus in your life! Please people! The NWO was prophesied in the bible and the only way to escape it is to get raptures and the only way to get raptures is to become a born again Christian

  • @ak47CANNON Hail Satan!

  • @ak47CANNON God I hope your kidding. How the fuck would Christianity protect you from the new world order.

  • @ak47CANNON - Allah Akbar! The only thing good enough for you, you heathen scum, it death, where you will find eternal torment for failing to recognize the one true prophet, Muhammad!

  • @LeksServices as for you seriously spreading that bull shit either you are muslim and believe that shit or your trolling and only adding gas to a fire either way shut the fuck up as its comments like that that has America hating all of the Muslim religion instead of trying to understand it and accept it for what it is

  • @ak47CANNON seriously??? becoming christian will make everything better and save you from damnation go spread your bull shit some where else! the NWO was never mentioned in the bible a prophesy you moron is nothing but a sentence that may resemble somehting thousands of years later like if i say somepne important is going to die a slow death that is a prophecy no name date or exact result is given meaning its left for interpretation meaning it changes with time so never quote a prophecy

  • Who really cares lol, thanks to services like paypal the rules about banks can just be ignored anyway and everyone is doing it, not to mention that you can just put money in a foreign bank and use that. Even if they get that joke of a monopoly on the online gambling in the states it will be a monopoly in name only as there is no way to enforce it.

    The internet really is a great way to show those rich greedy assholes that they can't control shit in the digital world.

  • It is obvious, now that we, who feared the NWO based on One GLOBAL government,

    were wrong and it is the GLOBAL corporations that have issued the New World Order.

    Fight Corporatism not the LEFT/RIGHT wings, both parties are sold to the same bidders.

    America open your eyes!!

    The only choices we get is 1. really bad politicians or 2. Disastrous politicians

  • well if it is about the money let's set up public financed elections, and limit corporations, and millionaires on how much money they can put on the table. It is about money? let's make it really about money, where the majority decides with their money.

  • God likes casinos more than churches I have seen people pray in church they just bow there heads, no big deal. When they pray in a casino they get sweaty and start to tremble, they clench their fist and their toes curl. They are not fucking around . They are praying

  • And so it begins, soon they will control every aspect of life. 2011 to 2012 is gonna get crazy.

  • Not that I disagree with Cenk, but can someone just answer this question so I could agree with him more?

    Isn't possible that Reid is trying to protect the business interest in his state ( casinos and such) for the benefit of his state, which as a senator, isn't unreasonable? Casinos probably play a large role in Nevada's economy.

  • @commandolam It's unreasonable because republicans talk a LOT about the free market and limiting government oversight/regulation - EXCEPT when it benefits them to do exactly the opposite. This schizophrenic political agenda is designed for one thing and one thing only - to maximize personal gain.

  • Hey i didnt know you guys were featured on Al Jazeera, thats awesome!

  • This is why we DONT want BIG government. So the corporations don't use it to make regulations that EXCLUSIVELY favor them. You think this is the only case of GOVERNMENT-regulated monopoly? Look at BIG OIL, CABLE/PHONE and SECURITY companies!

    If we had a smaller government we wouldn't be put in JAIL for REJECTING to promote MONOPOLIES!

    Empowering the government is virtually the same as empowering corporations.

  • So if the government is bought and paid for, why is Cenks solution to every problem more government?

  • Cenk it seems like even some of YOUR audience can't handle your tone of voice.. I like it but apparently people are riled up..... it's not a conservative or liberal thing it's a human thing.... one of the MANY reasons I choose dogs over people...

  • hmm...so why can't Cenk apply this same line of reasoning to all other government legislation. Why does he advocate regulation for just about everything else? Does he honestly not realize that all regulation is for the benefit of those in power?

  • @MoneyIsSilver

    You mean "he honestly not realize that all "DE"regulation is for the benefit of those in power?"

  • @krusier11 No, I meant exactly what I said. Regulations are used written and used to give the big corporations monopoly power. Regulations hurt, not help, the little guy. That is what Cenk is givig an example of in this vid.

    You should watch it over again because apparently it didn't sink in - regulations are written by corporations for corporations, not to control corporations but to keep small business out. To think de-regulation is the problem is naive.

  • @MoneyIsSilver "Regulations hurt, not help, the little guy."

    This is currently case because the process has been corrupted. When we can get real leaders whose lips aren't firmly planted in the anuses of corporate america, regulation, oversight, and reform will do what it's intended to do.

  • @l0gically The whole naive dream of "if we can just get the right people in" is typical of leftist thought. You can never get the right people in because the right people are doing honest jobs, not working for the government.

  • @MoneyIsSilver "Regulations hurt, not help, the little guy."

    Bad regulations from the corrupt can never be worse than zero regulations. Zero regulations are always the worst-case scenario.

    That being said, I agree that honest, working people have better things to do than be in government

  • @ytgv3fc7

    Regulations need to have the fundamental priority of fairness for all involved. That creates innovation and growth, which is the strength of Capitalism. Lack of any regulations, or unbalanced ones create Greed, which is the weakness of Capitalism.

  • wikileaks needs to expose some more stuff now!!!

  • There are just way too many Corporate Whores in Congress - almost all Republicans but a # of Democrats as well.

  • Starting to get really tired of this two party system, need to get a real 3rd party and then a 4th and a 5th, i sure as shit don't agree with the tea party on 80 % of the issues, but their slight interdependence sets an example that it could be possible.

  • @astupid16yearold that's like saying Joe Liebermann sets a good example...

  • @astupid16yearold America needs instant run off voting to elect third parties. Until then third party wins will continue to be rare. Only three third party candiates have won. Bernie Sanders of VT, Jesse Ventura was Gov of Minn, and Lincoln CHaffee will be the independent Gov elect of RI. I don't count Lieberman because he is a republican of disguise. Not a man of the people.

  • @astupid16yearold i agree two parties means you get get this or this there is no middle ground on anything no need for debate as who ever has the house or senate passes the laws its bull shit with a multi party system the power is divided meaning debates are needed to sway other parties to agree with your view or to find a common middle ground even in a majority the minorities can group together to defeat a bill meaning its not about one sided favors but whats better for everyone

  • @astupid16yearold

    Get rid of winner-take-all elections and put in a proportional representation system and then we can have multiple parties (like in Europe)

  • @astupid16yearold

    Fine bring in more parties. Oh wait the rich just bought those parties as well. Looks like nothing changed has it?

  • @astupid16yearold Are you kidding?? They had an independent thing going, or atleast potential for it. Then the Republicans seduced them. It is a failure.

  • Cenk rules. \m/

  • WE NEED President Sarah Palin! Only she can save our country and end this online gambling with our taxpayer money! Palin IS the MESSIAH and SAVIOR of this country and America will truly become GREAT again as the Palination!

  • @ecwaufisxtreme What is this I don't even

  • @Xendinthian Never listen to ecwaufizxtreme.

  • its gonna fail anyways. we wont go to harrahs.com or bellagio.com or caesars.com to play poker anyways i'm going to full tilt or pokerstars

  • "Get out of my life" may very well be Cenk's position as a liberal and it's probably also mine. If you compare it to left parties here in Europe though, the left would want to protect certain or all people from doing something wrong. If somebody is addicted to gambling, but takes social security money, European states wouldn't want to allow this. To me it just looks like the US is so much right, that the liberal position is still way right of ours.

  • Bookies everywhere rejoice. Big Business and the black market wins again.

  • >;3 there is only one way we can kill this hydea take the head and spere it with a masive Boycott if we drpive them of money thal starve to death

  • @dontOVERREACT I would mostly blame the clause related to corporate personhood for that one, in the 14th amendment.

  • Corporations are a bunch of people who seek to make a living, but they REALLY need a morals committee that can veto decisions made by the execs, and they should be stopped from influencing political discourse.

  • NO NO NO to online gambling .All types of people get sucked into gambling away the house there sitting in, A good goverment realizes human serpceptabilities to gaming and steps up to limit its avaliablity, If u cant stop it,, why not keep the money in the us

  • @invaliduser1000 dont understand your comment. the online gambling ban only causes more money to leave the US, because online players find ways around the rules and export their money. by legalizing US gambling, more money is kept in the US.

  • Ring the bell of class war. BONG BONG BONG. And if you're a liberal/progressive GET A RIFLE NOW! Like yesterday son. Lock & load you fucking liberal pussies.

  • Kudos, you got it eventually. Great!!

    This is EXACTLY what Ron Paul was saying all along..

  • Cenk is finally waking up! What about you?

  • Kudos, you got it eventually. Great!!

    This is EXACTLY what Ron Paul was saying all along..

  • Nah, I think I'll go back to porn.

  • TYT political hour coverage: 1/3 What liberals should want, 1/3 How liberals are getting screwed over, 1/3 How everyone is getting screwed over. This last story was the clearest I've ever heard Cenk express the third third. I want more stories like this!

  • It's funny that the casinos are trying to pull rank. It's illegal in the US to gamble online, yet people find loopholes around it. What makes them think other companies won't be able to do the same. Instead of watching money flow into foreign banks, we will be watching gambling sites taking their business elsewhere and setting up shop in countries that don't cater to casino owners. Then again, they might just buy out their own politician before it gets to a vote anyways to prevent being shut out

  • same thing with Prop 19, shouldn't alcohol companies view pot as a new market to enter into and make a profit

  • The US has lost billions in tax revenue from outlawing online gambling . A few years back Great Britton offered to pay the US government the taxes on online gambling revenue from Americans but the US refused it because it was illegal. Is there a single politician in Washington that's not on some Corporations payroll ?

  • I rarely say this, but I could not give less of a fuck about this

  • lol yeah it was reid that got the uigea done and not the social conservatives...

  • The US Government is on a full on assault on liberty and they're doing a crappy enough job at it that everybody knows it. We're in a struggle against our own government and corporations, and there isn't a day when it isn't a reality for Americans.

  • Good job on this one...Great example on how politicians protect special interest and CREATE monopolies. It's the same in many other industries in one way or another.

  • You're killing it lately Cenk. Very nice.

  • This is the first time in a long time that I've agreed with one of TYT's videos.

  • Considering that gambling is hugely destructive, I really don't give a shit about it, but the way people are bought on the issue is still disgusting.

  • I used to design and make online casinos. It was very hard because all clients had to be in countries which weren't against online gambling.

  • I have lost all faith in government.

  • I'm so sick of the U.S government.

  • Cenk would never run for president, because he's a realist, and knows that the forces that be would never let that happen.

  • Man. This is super testicular cancer.

  • Well Done Cenk! I am glad you are firmly distinguishing between Conservatives and Libertarians. There are many issues where Conservative and Libertarian views are polar opposites so it is great that your viewers are made aware of this. Keep in mind that the line of reasoning you applied in this clip can be extended to absolutely everything. Keep it up!

  • The video should've been titled "How America'$ Government Really Works"

  • It's five years, not two years.

  • "WHERE'S THE MONEY LEBOWSKI!?"

    "Its down there somewhere man let me have another look."

  • Run for President Cenk..

  • Comment removed

  • @emericaordie15 aye. I'd vote for him.

    I tired of selling out my convictions to vote for someone who is described to me as the least of 2 possible evils.

    Fuck that noise.

  • This has to be a huge disappointment for Liberals.. Government in bed with Big Business. Conservatives call this “Fascism“.

  • Cenk, run for a government position.

  • online gambling is illegal in the US? WHAT? thats crazy! I cant imagine a world where i didn't see an online gambling commercial every two seconds.

  • <3 u Cenk

    Go Green party

  • Fuck Harry Reid. THAT BITCH IS SCUM. Hey lookit if Harry Reid and I are walking down the same street in facing directions one of us is going to jail and one of us is going to the hospital.

    Damn democrat sell out traitors. Worse than the dirt off the bottom of my shoe.

  • @HulkSmashPunyHumans Agreed. Couldn't of said it better.

  • @Raelsatu Well my natural ability with words is just part of my Irish blood. Ya see the Irish were told for so long to shut up that it became part of our defiance to speak out.

    That's why we became we rebels in the American Revolution.

  • @HulkSmashPunyHumans Down boy down! If you live Nevada run a campaign against him, call him out on his bullshit ask for political donations, because there is no one except the most deranged that can lose to him and we need some new uncorrupted blood in the senate. Make your slogan "Hulk Smash Harry Reid!". If you don't live in Nevada make sure to vote out anyone in your state who is bought by the corporations and do whatever you can to see to it someone you actually like gets in.

  • @HulkSmashPunyHumans Are you republican???? Liberal has ann implied meaning of compassion... to me... you have none. You sound like a republican and not because your talking about a dem but because of HOW you are talking about him...

  • @upplsuckimcool16 The republicans would have to stick a gun to back of my head in the voting booth to get me to vote for them and EVEN STILL I swear on the grave of my dead Irish mother I will scream back "FUCK YOU PULL THE TRIGGER!"

    Harry Reid gets my anger for being the apotheosis of a weak pussy shit democrat.

    It is absolutely revolting that Reid is supposed to represent us when his only obvious concern is how to sell us out.

  • @HulkSmashPunyHumans HAhahaha.. Youre definitely going to get shit over that statement. But, thank you for the good laugh today. Good stuff.

  • How can they have a monopoly? Many online gambling sites have been exploiting the loophole of offshore funds transfers for years to beat the American ban. Is that going to stop? It would be a fairly serios violation of civil liberties if Americans were banned from operating offshore bank accounts...

  • @crocfme the bill is going to change so that only casinos can create online gambling sites in the US, so they essentially they have a massive monopoly. so Caesars Palace can open an online casino, but I cant, why? because the casinos have bought our politicians, so the exploited loophole you were saying wont be there any more because all the sites in the US will be operated by casinos. any sites not operated by american casinos will be illegal. thats sum bullshit.

  • @crackerz99

    I wonder if "Ful Tilt" Poker will survive?

  • @crackerz99 you could open a casino, and then you can open an online casino.

  • Great video Cenk. We live in a plutocracy. Scary stuff.........

  • Free Market? In America?

    What name so?

  • you are a true hero Cenk.

  • Testify

  • Great video

  • I wish Cenk worked on Fox News, 24/7

  • I don't see why gambling is a problem in the first place.

  • @SirFakeName Its addicting,puts ppl in debt,boss tycoons make money at the cost of others and now its gonna be a monopoly which isnt right!

  • @SirFakeName It's a problem much like heavy drugs are a problem. When people get addicted they will stop at nothing to get their fix - they'll hurt strangers, friends and family.

    It's hard to decide if something that can cause such horrible destruction should be legal, but if guns are legal - why not everything else?

  • The last American Political 'Debate' was settled in Dealy Plaza. Since then, the guys who 'whacked' Kennedy have been running the show. Including shows like the Sopranos, so people will think, "those guys aren't any real threat to the US public." Oh no? The US public are their prey.

  • I wish they would stop throwing to Jayar. He rarely has a good point, and it is almost always stated badly.

  • Don't the republicans do the same? Seriously, all the government is the corporations' way of controlling both the country and its people... corporations bought the government and it doesn't matter if you're a democrat or a republican since only corporations have a voice...

  • that was intense. I wasn't prepared!
