  • I cannot believe they both said the "f" word.

  • AND THIS IS THE GUY WHO IS GOING TO BALANCE OUR BUDGET??

    THERE'S A SIMPLE PRINCIPLE THAT THOSE WHO CAN'T BE TRUSTED WITH THE LITTLE THINGS CAN'T BE TRUSTED WITH BIGGER RESPONSIBILITIES ..

  • god this host is annoying. I thought he might speak better after 10,748 videos, but I guess not.

  • D@MN, 1. I want a budget like that to live within  2. What the hell is a 'standard' no interest account?

  • Also, let's all be thankful that your 40,000 views in 6 months won't be stifling Newt's campaign in any way with this half-ass analysis of what matters in this country.

  • @xXSimonSaysXx so you're voting for mr Gingrich then?

    The guy is insane, come on, there are plenty of smart conservatives around, go vote for them, just not Gingrich.. Jesus.. 

  • Perhaps more embarrassing than Newt's private purchases with his hard earned money (which isn't very embarrassing at all, is it?) is your terrible job creating subtitles for this video. I mean JESUS CHRIST HOW DID YOU FUCK IT UP SO BAD?

  • When you're part of a government that routinely loses billions of dollars, excuse me Rumsfield said 2+ trillion dollars was lost, then of course $500,000 is considered frugal. People, we cannot have a man as president who is so out of touch with reality that he thinks spending $500,000 is frugal. If he said he bought a second house witht that money, even that could not be considered frugal as anything in excess of one house CANNOT be frugal. I demand he tell us what he bought.

  • The jewelry might have been to assuage jilted wives and mistresses.

  • oh and the westhost plug at the end,,, talk about selling out to corps

  • why the hell is his line of credit with Tiffanys anyones business? it was his own money, no public funds,, this is nobodys business.

  • Wish they would be that thorough over the $500 MILLION of taxpayer money OBama spent on Solyndra...

  • As a member of the high end jewelery market i can say 500k is not expensive at all. i have dealt with 100+ carat diamonds that are well over 5 million dollars.

  • "We're very frugal."....Ummm. No. Buying upwards of $500k in jewelery is not frugal.

    God forbid Newt should've given some of that money to charity...

  • Bob is such a lightweight. I would not have let up on Newt until he produced ALL documents pertaining to the jewelry. I think everyone should be required to list every single asset they own and submit it to the government. Also on that list should be all cash, debts, terms of loans, interest rates, and how much is owed on a monthly basis.

  • @mikebama49 simplify the tax code and implement a flat tax. done. then maybe more than 60% of americans will start paying federal taxes. but why should newt give tax info to bob? its none of his buisness. stop trying to punish successful americans! capitalism works, socialism fails, give me one example to the contrary.

  • I think everyone should be required to list every single asset they own and submit it to the government. Also on that list should be all debts, terms of loans, interest rates, and how much is owed on a monthly basis.

  • @mikebama49 they already do...way to fail at trolling

  • He couldn't pissibly be using a 500K account to launder money? After all, you can't use banks for that, now that they have to report any transaction over $10,000.00 to the I.R.S..

  • This man is a clown. HUNTSMAN 2012!

  • "It's a revolving fund..... we are very frugal...."

    Bob Scheiffer deserves a medal for burying this dirtbag once and for all.

  • @chunhaylee - IRS tells us the top 10% receives most of their income from Capital Gains, Dividends, Interest & Tax Free Bonds

    Bush lowered the taxes on the 1st 3 to 15%

    Thus many in the top 10% now have an income tax rate between 1-15% & thus the top 10% now has 90% of the FINANCIAL WEALTH of the country

    GINGRICH SUPPORTS RYAN'S PLAN ON CUTTING THE TAX ON THESE TO ZERO!!

  • Standard, No intrest? That term alone isn't standard.

  • Is this some kind of a sick Republican joke, in an era when unemployment approaches 10% and Republicans have shipped jobs off to China and India to improve their profit picture?! The hypocrisy of Republicans promising a "laser-like focus on jobs" in the fall, 2010 elections and then living a lifestyle where buying gold-plated barbeque grills and jewelry to keep up with the Rothschilds while they are killing the middle class, absolutely reeks.

  • @Koldness99 Stop yourself right there, you better blame democrats just as much buddy, they are screwing up this economy and have been since they took over the Senate and Congress in 2006, besides this video is about available credit in 2002, long ago. Democrats are the ones who promoted jobs leaving our country with NAFTA, implemented on Clintons watch. It allowed inequitable trade with other countries. Repubs have their hands tied until 2012, it still dem senate and president so be fair.

  • @weseyedwalk And how many jobs did the all-GOP WH, House and Senate create from 2001-2007 with their trillion-dollar tax cuts for rich people?

  • @DoubleTalkingJive Actually a lot, unemployment under W Bush's watch, went down from nearly 8% to only 4.4% up until 2006 after that, Bush lost the congress and Senate so his hands were tied and his mouth silenced. The soon after, UI starting dropping again when the dems liberal economically destructive policies went into effect. Look at us now. Punish the job makers and they can't make jobs. Simple.

  • I hate Newt Gingrich but who gives a shit on 1/2 a million? Basketball players are spending MULTIPLE MILLIONS ON BLOOD DIAMOND RINGS AND JEWELRY. How fucking stupid is Newt to take that bullshit? Just goes to show the man has no balls.

  • Check out the Political Boxers.

  • I am an independent I really hate Gingrich, but it is none of my business on what the man did with his own money. If it were credit with interest, that would change things, but he had no interest agreement with the company. Who cares what he does, he is a private citizen.

  • I have a feeling that no one likes Newt...

  • I only spent 5 of the 6 trillion I made.  Very frugal

  • it's CALLED A REVOLVING CREDIT LINE !!! CREDIT CREDIT CREDIT !!!! fucking Cons lie to your face every time...

  • Isn't is spelt "jewelry" not "jewelery"?

  • Gingrich is a filthy fucking conservative. They're all the same. Vermin.

  • lol he is all stupid

    " go talk to tiffanys "

    HAHAHA

    fucking idiot

  • He had more JEWELERY debt than most rappers.

    That says something.

  • Go on grilling that broiler !

  • How's it any of your business?? Seriously, who watches this shit

  • @dgallegos4201 It's our business because some rich fuck like Newt can't relate to the average American. Spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on fucking jewelry. He has no clue what it's like right now for the poor and middle class Americans. Newt is just a corporate whore

  • @str33twarrior22 LOLOLOLOL What do you think Obama was making before he came into office? Listen to Newt's ideas, see if they make sense, and then comment on how he relates to the average American. People are amazed that a man (Obama) who has never done anything in the business world and has no experience with it has been unable to create jobs. America needs somebody that understands how to create jobs, not to create handouts.

  • @HBKatlanta If I was an American, I would be embarrassed reading the crap you write, assuming you are another American.

  • @Nitro18682 Reread what I wrote and let me know exactly what part you would be embarrassed of. I said nothing of the sort. Look at some of these other posts where uneducated (obviously, due to their language and lack of ability to get a point across without insult) Americans are bashing a person who has done no wrong to them but has earned a successful living. All politics aside, there is no reason to put somebody down because they have worked hard and been successful.

  • @HBKatlanta You are bashing and ridiculing your President exactly in the same manner other people are bashing Gingrich. What is the difference. Do you really believe, that success can only be achieved in Business? Most major achievements in this world have nothing to do with business. You presently have a President who is highly regarded outside America and you compare him to Gingrich. Thanks Bush for the tremendous job losses experienced. Do not twist history.

  • @HBKatlanta How come so many Americans can be influenced by the right wing media to the extent that they totally loose sense of what is right and wrong? Why do the right wing people need to resort to lies and distortions in order to win support for their cause. Is truth not more sacred than politics? Everybody in the world knows that Bush left America with an economic disaster close to a depression. Obama has had to handled more serious problems than any other living leader in the world.

  • LOL, "We are very frugal."

    I don't think he knows the meaning of that word.

  • I dont understand what the problem is...

    who cares what he wanted to spend his money on lol

    he has a wife...

    women like jewellery...what a revelation.

    Of course he has a lot of money...

    I dont get it.

  • I bet Newt cheated on this one too. This was a Kobe style payoff.

  • a frugal guy who had to borrow money to pay his $300k house fine, spends $500k at tiffany's??

  • If he can afford it why can't he buy it?

  • 2:49 Transcribe the audio and LOL

  • thinks he can buy love, big mistake. I know its his own business but still can't help questioning his judgment.

  • I love the way Newt starts coughing when he knows he's screwed.

  • He probably bought a 500 thosuand dollar diamond dick ring that he doesn't wanna talk about

  • she better BAD, i love it

  • newt says frugal living is having a $500,000 jewelry bill?!?

    he says he doesnt have a 2nd house, but admits he has a 2nd house that he rents out?

  • But what the fuck did you buy!!!!!!!!!!! Quote of the year

  • So funny I had to watch it twice!!!

  • Once again the Republicans tell YOU little people that you are irresponsible and spend too much, accusing Obama of living a movie star life, while Newt has a $500,000 jewelery bill that he hasn't even paid for. Even blind @ss Stevie Wonder can see throught his bullshyt. Somehow Tea Baggers can't!

  • love u Cenk. keep it up

  • Well now I at least know who gross looking guy like Gingrich gets laid. It's his revolving account with Tiffany's. 

  • @FlatulenceFox as Cenk would say, of coooouuurse!!

  • Man LMAO

  • I still feel it's not important, when they criticize Obama for the same thing, it wasn't right... it's not right or important right now. The man is apparently richer than the average citizen.... unimportant

  • @jbroad572 It is important because fuckers like Newt constantly criticize Obama for living some luxurious life, which is just not true. Then it turns out, those same people blow hundreds of thousands of dollars on jewelry. They are hypocritical pieces of shit. Also, how can a wealthy fuck like Newt Gingrich relate to the average American who is suffering right now? He can't, he doesn't know what it's like being an average American or a poor American. We are fucking peasants to people like Newt.

  • @str33twarrior22 You mentioned Newt being hypocritical... Are you being hypocritical and calling him names or do you feel that same way about Obama? You think Obama wasn't making millions before he became president? Do you think he wont be making millions after? It is always interesting to see how jealous, often (that doesn't mean ALWAYS) less hard working people, react to hard working Americans success.

  • @HBKatlanta Gingrich is hypocritical because he is not an honest person. How the "Family Value" people can support this person is astonishing. All it takes for Gingrich is to declare that he is a Christian and immediately he is an acceptable and good person. Gingrich is laughing all the way to the bank while he takes so many for a ride.It is difficult to assess another person's morality. In the case of Gingrich, his poor morality and conniving is blatantly visible.

  • We live very frugally -- SURE YOU DO!

    $500,000.00 bill at Tiffany's at one time? Some families who truly live frugally dont make that much money over a 6 to 10 year periodl!

  • that shit was funny

  • No interest on a credit account @ Tiffany's? ... Did Ben Bernanke set those interest rates?

    Seriously if I can get a no interest account @ Tiffany's, tomorrow I'm gonna look like Mr. T decked out in gold as I walk down the street. "I pity the fool who pays interest on credit loans."

    Does anyone know if Tiffany's really does have a no interest credit policy for normal people?

  • Gringrich couldn't have squirmed any more if we poured salt on him.

  • man i cant get enough of this clip

  • is there a politician that makes less then 1 million a year?

  • I could live within Gingrich's income, too.

  • the thing that caught my attention was when newt gingrich said he had a "reasonably good income". that just pisses me off.

  • @AceofDiamonds0 its better to be pissed off than pissed on! so why dont you go out and make some money for yourself, then watch the bloated federal goverment take what they want. GIVE you back the rest and see how you feel. if thats not getting pissed on, i dont know what is.

  • frugal my ass and he was to cut medicare?

  • Shoot! He has a revolving fund at Tiffs?! That means he is good for running up that sort of bucks all the time. Again, where does he get the money he is storing in his freezer?

  • The thing that gets me is if he lives within his budget, what is the income that allows for that??? And how does an EX congressman from a piddly little district get that sort of bucks? He already proved he is a slime bag.

  • Get off my jok! hahahaha

  • This giy is called Newt Gingrich? Only in America.

  • JEWELERY? Is that the same as Jewelry? Title change, please.

  • I hope he got laid after spending 500k...

  • If 500K for body decorations is frugal I'd like to hear Coot's definition of exorbitant.

  • Never seen so many follow-ups in your life? This guy needs to see Paxman:

    watch?v=1KHMO14KuJk

  • THis is my all time TYT video of all time. I had to share this one....

  • errrr...frugal? $500,000 is frugal?

  • My mother would LOVE $500,000 to spend at Tiffany's.

  • LOL Who cares?! If it's all legal then move on. It is funny though that he wouldn't let it go.

  • Ok. So he owns his own house. cool. he makes, he says, a 'reasonably good' income. So, how does Newt relate to ordinary citizens.he buys $500,000 in jewelery. YET HE says he is FRUGAL!! jesus christ on a bike...

  • Cenk needs to sound bit himself on this one. That "Man but WTF did you buy!" is catchy.

  • Diamond lingerie? Lol.

  • I love how he is telling you how he never paid it and such, that is was so totally in cash!

  • when you have many mistress's you need to buy lots of jewelry

  • is like watching the muppets.

  • he ansewerd the question right the first time he should have just said I answerd the question already. and left it at that but no he had to start digging his fucking hole. damnit Gingrich your big ass head will never be president.

  • "bizarre revelation" .... rich dude is rich.

    

  • @CityzenJane "bizarre revelation"s

    .... rich dude SPENDS LIKE MC HAMMER.

    .... rich dude DOES THIS ON CREDIT.

    .... rich dude DOES THIS ON THE TAXPAYERS' DIME.

    .... rich dude DOES THIS WHILE THINKING HE'S FRUGAL.

    .... rich dude DOES THIS WILE ALSO THINKING HE'S RICH.

  • Ah Cenk that's the stuff buddy... love it.

  • who cares? They probably got drunk and went on a shopping spree. PacMan Jones runs into strip clubs and throws Benjamins in the air...and we're worrying about this clown buying jewelry? Must be a slow news day.

  • @sonofsarek Who cares? Tell you in a sec...

    .

    PacMan Jones works hard and earns his money, so that's HIS business. Don't care.

    .

    Newt's money is OUR business. Much of it came out OUR pockets. Yours and mine.

    .

    He's a stupid, greedy liar! I care about that. You don't care? Let me have your share!

  • @dukenthaylor After we pay him it's HIS money. This would be like your boss bitching about how you spend your pay check. Don't people who buy Pac Man's Jone's music have a say in how he spends that money? No? Hmmm.

  • @OgreMECH Your analogy's wrong:

    1) Who said Newt's money wasn't his? I said his money's OUR (taxpayers') business. I said much of it came out of OUR pockets. Ever hear of an Oversight Committee? THAT'S US!

    2) Like that boss you mentioned, I'd FIRE ANY employee who GREEDILY overspends and otherwise mismanages MY company's (as well as HIS OWN) money, and STUPIDLY LIES to cover it up!

    3) Doesn't PacMan Jones' boss, LIKE ANY OTHER BOSS IN THIS NATION, have a say in who he fires AT WILL? Yes? Hmmm.

  • NEWT: No...go talk to Tiffany's!

    .

    No no NO, NEWT! YOU GO TALK TO CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT, BITCH!

  • Stop. I don't care about his wife's jewelry or his finances. 

  • I feel bad for you Newt. I got no money, but pussy comes for free at my single studio.

  • It's a revolving fund.

    What does that mean?

    It means it's a revolving fund.

  • @billthecat666 A revolving credit account is what a credit card is.  Basically Newt Gingrich was calling him an idiot for not understanding basic finance terms and yet asking questions about his finances. It's revolving because you always have that credit limit (in this case $500,000) but what you owe might be less than that. If you pay it completely off the account is still there, unlike a regular loan. I think it's funny Cenk didn't understand it but no one else had a clue apparently.

  • @rifter0x0000 You completely miss the point why Cenk brings up this issue. Gingrich's jewelry story is widely discussed by many and it is not a Cenk issue. Everybody knows how a credit line works. The sad, sad part of the Gingrich story is; that there are so many Americans who can not see this man for what he is. What to heck is wrong in America. This self serving, hypocritical, extroverted Charlatan now believes that he should be President. What American could ever vouch for such a fraud?

  • @Nitro18682 What is wrong with someone becoming successful? The guy makes millions of dollars. Apparently he spends some of it in the economy. Good for him. There are plenty of reasons to hate Gingrich but that really isn't one of them. It's not like we have any non millionaires running anymore these days anyway. Now if you want to take issue with that, fine.

  • @rifter0x0000 You are obviously blinded by money. Does it really impress you that he has amassed millions of dollars? OK that he fails miserably in his personal life screwing his girlfriend while his wife is seriously ill in the hospital. Did you ever read what his number 2 wife said about him, no doubt the truth? The market is so large in America that a guy who invents orange shoe laces can become a millionaire Great contribution to mankind. Tiffany are hiring due to the good economy.

  • @Nitro18682 Also, everyone in the media who brings up this issue acts like they don't know what revolving credit is. Probably they are that ignorant. It's just another example of how reporters don't even bother to do research anymore. Cenk should know better was my point. I would have expected him to know what credit is. Schieffer showing that kind of ignorance when reporting on a story about FINANCE is inexcusable; know your subject. No wonder they missed the financial crisis.

  • TYT......NEWS FOR IDIOTS

  • @deekeeley83 TYT watchers' ideas of conservative values don't involve calling themselves "frugal" for spending half their LARGELY TAXPAYER-FUNDED household income on JEWELRY!

    .

    Who's ideas involve such madness? IDIOTS.

  • @deekeeley83 TYT isn't news, you fucking idiot.

  • @LibertyInProgressNOW i thought it was in the online news category

  • @LibertyInProgressNOW You are so gay

  • Frugal! LOL! Oh, Newt...

  • He made $1M..wifey made $50K..the jewelry bill was 48% of THEIR income!

  • Five will get you TEN...NEWT CONSOLIDATED THAT JEWELRY DEBT!

  • And HOW can your jewelry bill be MORE THAN YOUR MORTGAGE?

    .

    IN THE WORST RECESSION SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION???

    .

    THAT...IS THE QUESTION!

  • lol he didn't want to answer. Gingrich was trying to side step all the same questions.

  • "Revolving..fund?" FUND, Newt? SCAM, MUCH? "FUNNY" how REPUBLICANS ALWAYS preach moral, fiscal, and social RESPONSIBILITY...

    .

    ...when THEY cheat on THEIR WIVES, THEY spend all THEIR SALARY on their wives and their girlfriends, using FISHY (PUBLIC???) REVOLVING FUNDS...BUT THEY have the GALL to go after GRANDMA'S nest egg and kill HER kid's future!

    .

    On top of that, corporations like TIFFANY'S charge NO INTEREST on $500K in CHARGED MERCHANDISE, but they can't profit because of THE GOVERNMENT!

  • Hey cenk do u have a 6 figure sallery? This guy I know seems to think so.

  • He was holding back from saying. What the fuck did you buy?

  • What's he doing to EARN that kind of money? I want to know. I keep hearing about how "hard working" republicans are and yet all I keep seeing them doing is fuck all and still they make INSANE money. It's like they're paid TO EXIST.

    This is why the whole notion of "the free market" is a fucking joke. The "free market" just leads to pustules like Newt, raking in the cash while the rest of us scrounge in the gutters. Inexorably, explicitly, inevitably- oligarchy.

  • This is theater at its finest.

  • I'm still wondering why we put value on shiny rocks.

  • @AmericanNohbuddy

    Shiny rocks can't be made up out of thin air, while dollars you measure the rocks value with, can and are created by pushing a button.

  • @AmericanNohbuddy We value the crack ones, too.

  • @AmericanNohbuddy

    because they're shiny, duh.

  • @AmericanNohbuddy Because they're shiny. Do we need a reason?

  • @AmericanNohbuddy To understand why we value shiny rocks, you first have to understand women.

  • @AmericanNohbuddy I know, humans are stupid like that.

  • @AmericanNohbuddy Really, really good marketing on the part of DeBeers.

  • @AmericanNohbuddy Because they are pretty, oh so pretty.

  • @TheOnlyAttrition ,riddle me this : how pretty are carbon credits? at least a diamond has intrinsic value. I LIKE NEWT!

  • @mmhouk *sigh* you take shit WAY too seriously. btw, i was alluding to a song that goes "i feel pretty, oh so pretty"

  • @TheOnlyAttrition i got that, and no hard feelings bub. after i read your post on i hate u2, i noticed that you commented on a video about newt. one of my current favorites as far as politicians go. there are so many bs replys on this video i dont know where to start. liberals are so vocally retarded. i hope you are not one as well. then again i was when i was 20. fav quote: " if youre not a liberal by 20, you dont have a heart. if youre not a conservative by 30 you dont have a brain."

  • @mmhouk cool. just keep in mind that social liberalism falls in line with reality ALOT more than social conservativism. basically, im a social liberal, and a fiscal moderate.

  • @TheOnlyAttrition i also have "some" socially liberal beliefs.but, true conservatists believe that the federal government should be limited. and we should not give our freedoms away so big brother can save us from our selves. thats what state rights are for. fiscally, what program or department, does the federal goverment manage that is profitable or considered a success. we have the best army in the history of the planet, but prolly couldnt pass the same audit they expect you to follow.

  • @mmhouk i agree that the government shouldnt run our economic system, but there should be som regulation (food quality standards, no false advertising, and others). other than basic regulations like that, the government should stay out of business. as for the social side, i find it ironic that social conservatives dont like big government, but have no problem with the government deciding what religion the country is, who we can and cannot marry, and forcing their beliefs on everyone.

  • @AmericanNohbuddy Shiny rocks are like pokemon cards! everyone likes collecting the shiny holographic ones.

  • @AmericanNohbuddy Stones rare, monkey like.

  • @AmericanNohbuddy Most precious gemstones have practical use. You already know about diamonds. Sand from garnets is used in certain industrial mold-making. Sapphires can be used to regulate conductivity of heat & electricity. Those are just a few modern uses. I can't explain why they used them years ago. I imagine they had similar purposes.

  • @upabittoolate

    Whats the most common use though? Wearing them because they look pretty and are shiny.

  • @AmericanNohbuddy That's to you & me. We're laypeople not industrialists. But they do have industrial uses. I've read about those aforementioned uses; rather derivatives of them, dating back to ancient Egypt.

    But you're correct in saying that most people just like the bling.

  • Man, if I had $500,000, all my living expenses would be covered for a decade or more. The fact that people can blow that much on jewelry and then say they live a frugal life... that sickens me.

  • And so continues the sad, sad, sad sideshow that is the 2012 Republican nomination process. I vote we all just ignore the rebulitards until Obama is crowned emperor of the earth for the another 4 years and then watch as he doesn't have to be afraid he won't be re-elected. Maybe then he'll actual behave like a liberal for a change. He can start by releasing the unconstitutionally detained prisoners held at Guantanimo Bay.

  • LOL i love how that highscool cheerleader co-host of his is gone from all the videos related with politics.

  • 500k jewelry? FUCK I feel guilty when my man buys me $50 jewelry!!

  • @luckstergal you shouldn't, society has such a paranoia of gold diggers that women get the message that they are good people when they go out with guys that don't do shit fo
