  • Thank goodness Cenk brought the discussion back out of crazy-talk from Mr. Aspell who sounds like he's suggesting violent protest is the means necessary to get an audience and bring in outside help.

    Let's remind people that they can be peaceful but keep the media there to document the progress just in case something terrible occurs and someone needs to intervene.

  • MSNBC put Cenk on and it's proving to be a smart play. He's doing well.

  • Ana you are VERY SEXY!!!!!!

  • another turkish DONKEY!

  • I CRIED WHEN I SAW THIS:

    youtube.com/watch?v=kY-maJ0Iyu­A

  • Cenk freaking rocks !

  • I don't know about you, but I loved the guy in the mask being violent with the giant spongebob eyes on his short.

  • I think both of them had valid points. 9/11 was a massive political gain for Al Qaeda, even though they are so hated, the reason being that it has brought a huge amount of focus on to US foreign policiy by countries and people all over the world. More and more people are discovering just how corrupt US politics is and how heartless and brutal conservative governments are in particular.

  • Cenk! What is up with the make-up!?...Dude!...You should fire the artist who did that!...Damn!

  • violence goes hand in hand with oppression and poverty.

  • cenk doesn't piss me off.

  • 1:12 Violent Sponge Bob is violent !!

  • Tom Aspell's accent is epic.

  • PM of Iraq Nouri al-Maliki loses an election to Secular party of Iyad Allawi. The poll results show that a growing number of Iraqis want a secular government as they are fed up with sectarian violence and too many religious people at the top of the Iraqi authority food chain.

    Al-Maliki is refusing to step down but maintains full US Military backing to enforce Martial Law.

    The Iraqis voted for a Sovereign Party to head a more Secular Government.

    Will the West Support Real Democracy?

  • Police Provacateurs have already been caught inciting Violence ....youtube search

    "Police" "Provocateurs"

  • What kind of zionist shill is the british anti-christ???

    I'm xueirieusx.

    Anyone <n.o?

  • LOL if cenk is a representative of this new era, please kill me now.

  • they're both right, arguing different aspects. violence during protests IS only a tool to achieve something, because if a protest isn't violent, it doesn't get on the news. and what better way to spread your message than by getting on the news?!

    while cenk's points were all perfectly valid and he sounds well educated, it could also be that he's well rehearsed. pretty clear which way Ratigan leans. he's not a very objective interviewer.

  • TYT is insulting to anyone with half a brain. Just some guy in his 30s making stupid facial gestures at anything he doesn't like. Trying to convince uneducated kids his opinion is the "cool" one.

  • cenk is weak compared to the english guy

  • Can't stand Ratigan.

  • tom looks like he's seen some shit.

  • @FaithNoMore1977 yeah, I'd like to here more from that guy.

  • @baihbalm

    no im just saying he looks like shit. lol

  • @FaithNoMore1977 oh, alrighty

  • I was cracking up on the guy with the spongebob shirt, He's looks bad-azz!

  • Hahaha

    "OMFG YOU'RE SO WRONG ABOUT IRAN"

    "Actually I was talking about Iraq."

  • If Cenk aka TYT gets his own show on MSNBC he'd be a star, he just needs to get a shot and I bet he WILL blow up!! And I personally know about 35 people who would watch his show all the time.

  • @tennaj I believe that too. Cenk is the best!! Only problem I see is that with watching TYT on Livestation daily, I can't see him only gettkng one hour on MSNBC.. I'd think he'd need at least 2 hours.. MSNBC keeps on repeating their shows all night so a 2 hour show would work..

  • TYT needs their own show TV show. If they think TYT is too truthful then they need to put them on HBO or something similar.

  • Being biased and being truthful are two completely different things. TYT is an opinion show, and liberal at that, of course they are going to be biased. But at least they state the facts as they are and then leave them up to their viewers to make up their own minds.

  • What are you opinions on Fox News and their resident nut jobs?

  • @nyxie23 for TYT to make it on tv, they need to sack ana. sorry but shes god awful. even if you like her you cant possibly expect america and its tv critics to like her

  • @nyxie23 They need to go on fox news so it can start to become "fair and balanced"

  • @nyxie23 your wish has come true buddy, Dec 5. on current TV, TYT has their own show.

  • Comment removed

  • Lovin Cenk here.

  • lmao! I didn't know that Spongebob was a muslim terrorist.

    Crazy!

  • I agree that when the cameras are on, behavior changes, but it isn't always violent. Violence happens when a crowd is pushed to a certain point. It doesn't matter if anyone is taping it or not. Crowd violence almost always stems from a catalyst on either side. It is whoever "swings first". The problem really comes when the police are not well trained enough to stop the situation from escalating. It's difficult on both ends because emotions run high, but no one wants to take responsibility.

  • @iSAW7

    Let me go ahead and rephrase what you've written, for clarity: "Okie I'm sorry, but"--oh, that's right, you didn't say that, but I bet you're the kind of twat who says 'I'm sorry but...' all the time, even tho you're never actually sorry--"but hwhut exactly is that dude doing challenging the god of knowledge Tom Aspell? O, that's ryt, I realize everyone has an uponion, but uhm, you know, it's just like, GOD, no one has credentials these days! LOL"

    go swallow a sharpened spoon

  • Comment removed

  • @fulekkei

    ""but hwhut exactly is that dude doing challenging the god of knowledge Tom Aspell?"

    I'm sorry, but I do not agree. Cenk was challenging Tom Aspell's opinion on the motivations of those who were protesting. Tom Aspell has been to these places and witnessed these events. That is what I was pointing out. I know it's easy to marginalize my opinion by assuming I believe Tom Aspell is some form of deity, but I do not. Tom Aspell has first-hand knowledge in this case. Cenk does not.

  • go cenk!!!

  • I've found it useful simply as a general principle just to agree with anyone who has a British accent rather than disagree. But I do see what Cenk is saying.

  • It's true that Brittish accents do make you sound smart and sensible. Buht, Aih downt think thaht it's reehly true.

  • I agree one hundred percent, sir. You are British, correct?

  • Nope, Ameerican, 100% (chicago)

  • Oh. Well then I disagree with you- unless of course you still have the accent.

  • Young Turds, clever. Moron.

  • Hey glad you went on with Dylan Ratigan - he is the very best in news nowadays (besides you guys of course haha even though agree with you guys less than half the time)

  • I thought an alien burst out of that reporters chest.

  • the world is goin to hell. its more violent and crazy than its ever been. 50 years ago the world wasnt like this at all. a large part of it i think has more to do with radical islamic extremists and ppl like bin laden and organizations like al qaeda and the taliban. also we have more rogue nations in the world today than in any other time. iran, venezula, north korea, and so forth.

  • What are you talking about? Did you forget about WWII? These min-wars are nothing compared to to the likes of both world wars.

  • yes thats true but i was talking about post WWII. you are right however.

  • In that case then you're also right.

  • "its more violent and crazy than its ever been."

    That is an indefensible statement.

  • No one said it wasnt an indefensible statement?

  • Okay, I see you're just talking about "post WWII".

    Yet, I think that you overestimate the severity of islamic terrorism (as it is right now). From my subjective POV the world has become a much better place to live compared to 25 years ago. I live in Berlin. If in 1984 I went for a walk just a few miles from where I live now, I'd have been shot!! And today there's a nice bikeway. Similar stories could be told in many other countries in eastern Europe for example.

  • Well in places like America, of course it isnt as bad as other places. Also places like Britain, France, and Germany. I was mainly talking about the middle east, parts of Asia, Africa and South America. The middle east is by far the most violent though.

  • I agree that there are some pretty depressing vicious-circles of violence going on in the middle east that are fueled almost exclusively by religion.

    But now we're down to a specific region in post WWII. That is a little different than your original choice of words: "world" and "ever" where I was immediately thinking of the inquisition, the Thirty Years' War, the Conquistadores, the American Civil War, and WWI+II and was like: WTF?! :)

  • No i said, parts of Africa, Asia, and South America as well. I did say however that the middle east was the most violent out of all of them. The well developed nations such as America, Great Britain, France, Germany and most of Europe dont experience the major violence like in the other countries. Also one i forgot to mention was Mexico. The drug cartel violence has gotten out of control over there.

  • Lets think about people who get rich from money laundering or drug dealing etc. They live in Beverly Hills but do their bad jobs in Compton/Watts/South-Central. If you think of it in international basis, Africa, Middle East or Eastern Parts of Turkey and North Iraq, are the playground for big drug dealers, arms dealers etc. That can explain. So this has nothing to do with religion. But about education hence income.

  • About Al-queida or Taliban, don't forget Charlie Wilson's weapon support to rebellions in Afghanistan against Soviet forces worth 250 million dollars. After the war against Soviet's have been won, there is no support from America for education or building hospitals etc. Only weapon support. You can watch the movie "Charlie Wilson's War".

  • I never said this had to do with religion. I was just naming the violent places in the world. ANd yes your right. People in those areas such as South America and Mexico are places for drug cartels and weapons dealers. But in Asia for instance, u have North Korea, a communist regime in which starves its own ppl and kills them. The middle east has Iran, which does pretty much the same but there President is just more insane. And u cant blame the U.S. for one mans actions but thats just my opinion.

  • You really got me wrong on that! I do not support any communist or sheria regime and I find them violent. I am not blaming any country or any specific person either. But there are different things going on in the world. The international strategies of most countries causes people to suffer and live with the lack of independence. And these are the countries including America.

  • Iran was in democratic regime with Shah Reza Pahlavi. There were no turbans or any black linens etc. However whenever english SIS gone into business, he was replaced with the sheria regime. Regional Cooperation for Development b/w Turkey, Iran and Pakistan (and Afghanistan later) was collapsed. There is no ground for development and education for people in these areas, since it is the playground (you know what I mean)...

  • Yes i understand what your saying. The only way these ppl who live in these areas can live normal lives like we live is if the regimes in power are overthrown either by another country like us or the ppl themselves and they establish a new republic and put ppl in charge that actually care about the well-being of the ppl they serve and a Constitution that limits power to the federal government like we have and gives more power to the ppl. But that seems like a longshot from here.

  • He confused Iran with Iraq and claimed Iranians weren't protesting for the cameras in spite of their massive internet media campaign.

    In general he's a strawman of a naive American.

  • how so?

  • show an example of him doing such a thing... otherwise, shut the fuck up, jackass.

  • Dylan is a hairy ass

  • Dylan kicks ass

  • They have Glenn Beck, we have Dylan Ratigan :)

  • go cenk your awesome love you man

  • No.

    He last statement was that tecnology would help us to know whats going on, help those people on showing whats happening. Tecnology, as Cenk said in the beginning, wouldn't make a REASON to go to streets and fight.

    Those are two different ideas.

  • He was saying he didn't agree with the other correspondants point of view of the protests of Iraq and their fighting...granted Cenk confused Iran with Iraq, he went on to generally agree with him...I think he got ahead of himself because he thought his comments were on Iran not Iraq. Cenk didn't seem to get alot of time on this issue in my opinion

  • i would argue that the host presented the argument in a more general matter...i.e. is there more violence around the world...if the first speaker chose to talk about irak to debate his point so be it..but cenk doesnt have to counter argue irak in any way.

  • people are tired of the crap that the powerful do against em .. they figure they don't have any other recourse but violence .. the arms dealers make weapons available to everyone in the world ..that way there can be more wars and violence to sell more weapons

  • Well same logic as I didn't know there were anyone dumber than a disabled retard until I saw your comment

  • Why don't you learn to put coherent sentences together before commenting please...

    You should probably look up the definition of "logic" while you're at it.

  • It is good. I like The Young Turds. They have sexy time with sisters.

  • Fuck you and your shit Borat country

  • Hes not from Kazakhstan, because if he was he would not be negative about Turks as he would be one himself.

  • What are you talking about??? I didn`t say thatCenk was from Kazakhstan, i was talking to the guy that was above me who called the show "The young turds" go down and look

  • Yes I know, If he is realy from Kazakhstan he would not make fun of Turks :D I think hes just some fool trying to make fun of Kazakhstan!

  • Oh ok lol. I see you are from Kazakhstan lol. I hope you don`t think i have something against your country or anything, but he made me angry. SALAM/Peace from Iraq

  • ...

  • Why is Ratigan giving Cenk time on his show???

  • Good point, Cenk is too good for the Ratigan show, but it's nice exposure for TYT.

  • Thanks, that's a great compliment! Glad to hear a fan of the show weigh in, keep it up.

  • Is that a serious question? "Has the world become more violent?"

    Compared to x number of years ago, we have:

    MANY More people

    More destructive weapons

    Great interaction of ideas, leading to rapid synthesis of new (sometimes destructive) ideas

    Greater interaction between peoples of differing culture, ethnicity, race and (notably) religion.

    And while it cannot be measured, the general entropy of the universe

    And yes, finally, we see violence more because of the media.

    Such a stupid question...

  • on the other hand people were more stupid,if they werent WW2 and ww1 wouldnt have happend.

  • Turkish power..!!! CENK UYGUR

  • Actually, when tom said it he didn't really enunciate clearly. I thought he said Iran too for a second

  • That first guy looks liek eh got puched in the face...besides the world has always been violent...all the ancient wars biblical and non-biblical....publicity isnt always teh reason as far conquerers vs. the oppressed.

  • nobody cares. fuck u

  • WTF? TYT is on CNBC **WORLD**???

    oh, HELLS, no! put them on MSNBC - where their subject matter has an OBVIOUS home - preferably in rotation with Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow! GREAT FIT for the progressive news trifecta!

    and PLEASE BUMP THAT effin farmer ED SHOW BULL$#!+! he makee me sleeeeeepy..at..(yawn)..6..fre­akin.. PM..ZZZ!

    or even Chris Matthews! with that UNGODLY amount of spit in his mouth??? SAY it, potato boy, don't SPRAY it! Go garglee with Baileeees! TYT rules!

  • Not all African-Americans more routing for the rioters in LA 92. I hope the Han can find peace that only a small minority of Uygurs are violently destructively and even fewer for personal reasons.

  • Cenk is quite poorly informed on the Xingjiang roit issue.

    As a TYT subscriber I am a bit disappointed.

  • Me too.

    And I was also sorry for that reasonable and experienced journalist who had to put up with Cenk's confrontational tone. They were actually agreeing, and the other guy seemed a lot more balanced, informed and coherent.

  • I feel sorry that people believe the corporate, ratings driven media is more "balanced, informed and coherent".

    It's laughable really.

  • It's also laughable to compare a real journalist, speaking from Baghdad, with a blogger who leeches off of those real journalists' field work and also talks about Hollywood gossip on YouTube.

  • He graduated from prestigious schools and was a lawyer, yet you pretend he's a high school drop-out living in his mom's basement.

    That's the sign of someone who can't back up his/her claims. Especially since you try to discredit him because he spends a portion of his show discussing entertainment/pop culture. This despite the fact that respected commentators like Rachel Maddow do the same a the end of their shows, i.e. they have a light hearted segment after the substantive issues.

  • As if graduating from a prestigious school proved you're good at something...

    Rachel Maddow is respected by _some_, and so is Sean Hannity.

  • Thank you for discrediting yourself further with the Sean Hannity comparison, I really appreciate it!

    That is all.

  • Who says I'm rating your comments? You made a generic claim and awarded unwarranted and automatic respect for one pundit over another.

    You gave no specific examples or sources to support your opinion. When pressed you resorted to ad hominem attacks against Cenk.

  • Dude, you need help.

  • I wouldn't care if FoxNews or CNN gave Cenk a show!

  • Have you ever watched the young turks. Cenk hates Fox News... do you even know who the guy is?

  • Look...Cenk is a great American guy who has some great opinions. He may be a liberal but couldn't Fox News use a little more balance now that Alan Colmes is gone? I think it wouldn't hurt!

  • I don't think you understand... Fox would be lucky to have Cenk, but I don't think in a million years he would accept the job. If you have ever watched the Young Turks you would know he constantly slams on Fox News. If he does go with a news station the last place it would be is Fox News.

  • Well I'm sorry I don't watch every single TYT video. I watch the ones that interest me so I didn't know that he slammed Fox News in every one. At least the 10 episodes or so that I watched he didn't do that. I'm just saying I WOULDN'T CARE IF HE CHOSE FOX NEWS. I'm not saying he will. So calm down there tiger.

  • lol he seems pretty calm to me

  • He is quoted with saying he wants to make a buck. If fox paid he would play.

  • If Cenk ran for President of the United States, I would probably vote for him no matter what party he belonged to.

  • LOVE YOU CENK

  • agreed with cenk at the end

  • there is NO question there. with youtube, we are just seeing what has been going on. this whole argument is bullshit.

  • godamn man! it sure is nice to hear a voice of reason for once on a NATIONWIDE broadcast! much love to the Young Turks!

  • dom.

  • forget spy satellites. We should put a massive comm sat array DIRECTLY over North Korea with NO access restrictions and then airdrop MILLIONS of rugged solar-battery powered Internet devices equipped with cameras and Korean instruction manuals. it would be fucking epic.

  • Damn, do they slap on the tv makeup or what? Cenk looks made of plastic.

  • Cenk, great interview, but why would you work for a rag like the Huff Po?

  • Great Job Cenk!

  • I think its the awareness that these things ARE shown to the world to see that gives people the courage to fight back against tyranny that would have here to fore just eradicated them sans witness. There is strength in awareness and witness. Ya cant just wipe out a "nuisance" with the world watching - thank goodness

  • young turk must've thought he was auditioning for America's Next Top Model. he looks so pretty don't he?

  • "on camera, CenT Uygur..."

    Cent? XD

  • hahaHAAAAHahahaha, cenk has so much make-up on!

  • what the hell, he didnt say irak or iran, he said irah, so wtf?

  • hahahahha Cenk with makeup.  Always like it.

  • come on MSNBC, put The Young Turks on your TV programming !!!!!

  • HEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

    Why the hell would you cut the video short like that. The Young Turks have been doing that with all their videos lately and I kind of understand it but it's kind of annoying at the same time.

  • TYT is great

  • North Koreans are pussies.

  • go cenk!

  • It's so obv tht Cenk's got make-up on..lol

  • Dylan Ratigan is Such, An IDIOT!!!

  • What bothers me about this reporting is that our media is selective on what to report concerning protesting, just like are own protesters in the U.S. are portrayed as crazy, or illogical people, who not report on the protesting my "WE ARE CHANGE', the Cuban Five, and the protest in Georgia, to the Gaza' bombing by Isreal. my comments were deleted mentioning this why....

  • Chinese citizens need to organize and fight like spartans, those poor people are so oppressed by their regime/government. Every human has what I call "living rights" the right to control your own body and mind. China, Iran, NK, go through the list of countries whos citizens are living in fear. Its so depressing, I have it so good here in Oregon in comparison, I could just as well be born their, and live that life.

  • hahahahaha Cenk goes pro :)

    nice man hahahaah

  • Turks are violent racist hypocrites.

  • not all

  • Cenk has such a hard on right now being on MSNBC

  • Is it just me or does Cenk look very different here from what he normally does ? Is he wearing makeup or is it just a different camera/background ?

  • cenk just curious, does your last name have something to do with ethnic Uighur in China?

  • He is from Turkey, so probably not.

  • i read from the news that Uighur or Uyghur is a Turkic ethnic group

  • he did mention that in another video (when those uighur were in guat. bay). He did say they were related to the one's in turkey...not really sure though what he exactly said

  • I agree with Cenk here, if we look back on history, we see plenty of examples of surprisingly fast escalation of violence - such as the Boxer uprising.

  • U da man, Cenk!!!

  • CENK, from the top rope!!!

  • hahaha fuckin a!

  • thanks man. maybe if i wasn't blazed i might've seen that.

  • "Cent Yugur"??? Well, I love Cenk, he has the right tone, the right face and the right charisma! Put him on TV NOW!!!

  • Cenk is a fucking genius! I could watch him cut up people all day.

  • Cenk! man... com' on! com' on! mascara? You're still cool tho bro!

  • very impressed my the young turks take on things - much more informed!!
