@StopTerrorism1 man, you're one of the biggest idiots in the western world; you're pretty much on par with the the Taliban and al-Qaeda; end Islam? How about REFORM Islam? like Christianity and Judaism... and to some extent Buddhism too; there still is religion in the West, in case you haven't noticed; blowing up the Vatican isn't going to end Catholicism; what religion has become in Western countries is reformed, modernized, accommodated new ideas; you have shit for brains;
No, no, no. Don't bring "cenkavision" to MSNBC. You don't get much air time there, use it wisely, don't spend it on bullshit pop stories. You have no time to expand on them anyway, and it all looks like a big mess. They are just no fun without the commentary, and especially without Ana.
cenk, i can't believe you brought that facebook story on msnbc, lmfao.
I swear, I thought he was going to say his balls were his most outstanding feature, anyone else? I think he toned it down and said gut for msnbc, to which I say: lame.
cenk i really appreciate what you do, but the msnbc stuff sounds too scripted. i know they tell you what to say but couldnt they give you a show on the network with the whole TYT team instead of having you join the league of extraordinary teleprompters?
@hijalinda can you not have a little patience? Cenk already said in some videos that the President and his staff use the main news channels like CNN and MSNBC to fallow world events; yes, that's stupid, they should use the internet; but wait.... soon internet will kill television, as television once killed radio and dvd killed vhs;
LOL. A lot of American teens and young people also use facebook for awkward shit, too, Cenk. Like pretending you know someone just because you found them on the site or met them once and act like you're such good friends.
Obviously MSNBC just asked if cenk could do some Young Turks on the show. And no surprise to anyone...it works. Cenk is the hottest left wing commentator around.
The Dylan Ratigan Show is not a talk show. Please don't do this kind of stuff on his show. I'd much rather you comment about this kind of stuff on your show without a teleprompter.
Haha can't wait for TYG - The Young Goofballs (oops, I mean "The Young Guns"). God those guys look old haha. But seeing neo-cons trying to act cool will be priceless.
@Jussimania No, you have to be born in the US (or US territory) too. This rule only applies to the President (and probably the VP). Senator and so forth is open for all citizens above certain ages.
Perhaps Turkish pop is best when not translated. I enjoy Tarkan's music, but I wonder if I would care for the lyrics if I actually knew what he was singing? xx
After the Ed Shultz thing I honestly think they are using Cenk more to get a feel for how a TYT show would do. Not many people can go on a rampage yelling "I'm going to burn this motherfucker down" and keep their jobs lol.
are you serious? the young guns..they..they couldn't even come up with an ORIGINAL name..oh wait *thinks* its a republican group so..of course they had to put the word GUN in it. 400 bucks says Sarah palin endorses them lol.
@MacMaraScott Right on I agree 100%. I believe Cenk will do everything in his power to bring the rest of the Turks with him when he inevitably gets offered a long-term contract.
I've been watching TYT long enough to be convinced that Cenk has the strength of character -- and the true loyalty to his good friends and co-workers -- to not leave them behind while his star rises.
I hope MSNBC keeps up the excellent personnel decisions, which began with Cenk and should end with Jayar, Ana and Co.
@P1ranh4 But that's the point :p It's nice to see Cenk bringing some TYT to TV. I love that Cenk's done a lot of really great stories on how broken and corrupt our representatives are, but if all you talk about is how messed up everything is people will just get apathetic because it's to much, it's always good to have some comic relief/random BS we call all laugh at together
I actually like and respect MSNBC a lot more now since they've become so bullish with Cenk, only a matter of time before The Cenk Uygur show comes right after (or before?) The Dylan Ratigan show.
Well done MSNBC.
Also I haven't laughed as hard at something as I did at "the YOUNG guns" in a long time, I mean one of those dumbasses is full-blown grayhaired
Let's get rid of taxes altogether. Let's see how well a government functions with no funding altogether. Let's see how seriously we take a government with nothing to even formulate a semblance of authority. That includes the police, fire dept., etc. The founding fathers weren't as worried about theft because they didn't have as much stuff. Some things have changed.
And I've seen some hot Turkish girls on Facebook, too.
The whole idea of the American Constitution is to severely limit the authority of government. Not give it the power to strip its citizens of their inalienable rights in the name of making everything equal and fair.
Uganda has had a series of rulers who came to power on the very notion of using the power of government to come to the aid of the people. The worst thing that can happen to a nation is for the "friends of the people" to come to power. The Romans, and Greeks, believed that good government was a gift from the gods, because it was such a rare occurrance. Also, America needs fewer police not more, and the stimulus money that was supposed to go to infrastructure would up going to unions as kickbacks
My point being, they didn't foresee the rise in crime, the rise of corporate power and influence, etc.
Watch the episode of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"... I believe it's "Charlie gets all America on everybody's ass".
They grant full and total freedom to everyone in the bar, and people use that privilege to play Russian Roulette, shoot heroin and puke on people, and commit gay incest. Sometimes you gotta make rules.
By they, one assumes you mean the writers of the US Constitution, not the Ugandans. The rise in crime can in large part be attributed to the goverment keeping people from fighting back against the criminals. In those days, as well as the supposed wild west, which both had much lower crime rates than today, men, and to a lesser extent women, were expected to be able to take care of themselves. Unlike today. As to the rise of corporate power, they had to do business with the East India Company. .
. .so they knew something of dealing with powerful business interests. "Sunny" is a hilairious show, my favorite is the one where they start a band. People who choose to Russian roulette and shoot heroin aren't going to be a problem for long. Finally, yes there have to be rules, but not at the expense of inalienable rights, and the Progressives seem to be the ones who want to undo all the traditional rules of society, while being very disingenuis about what they'd replace them with.
Please, enlighten me. What inalienable rights are actually being taken away by Progressives, and which ones are being exaggerated in people's minds in order to satisfy a specific Conservative narrative?
If taxes are the complaint, recall as Cenk often does, that during "The Glory Days" of the US, taxes on the wealthiest Americans were between 70-90%, so to complain about taxes now at half of that seems quite silly to me.
@dEdGrimley There are already 15 million or so unemployed and 99ers that already have stopped paying taxes, the GOP voting against sustaining them until working again is cutting their own throats, in the long run, surely......Yes, Turkish ladies are quite grand...(sigh...)
wow im really starting to like this, im assuming im not the only one who notices cenk is alot more joking and less serious wen on TYT than wen on msnbc, and i figure it's just him not used to the new place, and knowing he has a bigger audience or something like hat, but with this video you can really see he's opening up and becoming hilarious again
I tried leaving a comment on the ultra hip young guns video. Apparently they decided it would be best to screen their comments before allowing them. Actually, that's probably for the best... HAHA

I think Cenk deserves a lot more air time than some little 3 minute gig.
He's far too intelligent & talented (not to mention incredibly attractive... gut & all) for such a small spot.
He would do better than just about any of the other young commentators out there today... & most of the old ones too.
I don't ALways agree with his views, but he's a thinking guy.
He doesn't just throw out ignorant, unsubstantiated nonsense.

@dEdGrimley There are already 15 million or so unemployed and 99ers that already have stopped paying taxes, the GOP voting against sustaining them until working again is cutting their own throats, in the long run, surely......Yes, Turkish ladies are quite grand...(sigh...)

wow im really starting to like this, im assuming im not the only one who notices cenk is alot more joking and less serious wen on TYT than wen on msnbc, and i figure it's just him not used to the new place, and knowing he has a bigger audience or something like hat, but with this video you can really see he's opening up and becoming hilarious again

@sprklshine5 Indeed---he's finally coming out of his shell of intimidation from the increased exposure for his career. TYT Cenk on TV ftw.

I tried leaving a comment on the ultra hip young guns video. Apparently they decided it would be best to screen their comments before allowing them. Actually, that's probably for the best... HAHA
