  • tyt likes prad becaues hes alright with commies .how muck do movie stars make in comunist countries .if they make more he should go there

  • Brad Pitt reeeeally ROCKS!! He cares. And he is much more of a man than most of the people in Politics! Go Jolie-Pitt family!!!

  • Brad Pitt would Does seems like he doesn't have a mind of his own. He basically turns into the people he dates. watch his old interviews from when he dated other people (not just jennifer) and watch their interviews and it's almost the same

  • I'm now going to (legally) watch every single brad pitt movie ever made, he's my new hero.

  • @goraidersgogogo Two months have gone. You done yet?

  • Republicans do more giving to the "poor" year in and year out. You come across way simple.

  • thats how you know your a cool dude.

    when dudes are all up your butt with the ladies.

    he's a cool dude that smokes pot and is about the equalization of human rights.

    score brad.

  • of course he would win.

  • ah Brad Pitt should run for president

  • where can u get those brad pitt for mayor shirts?

  • Brad Pitt is soo cool!

  • BRAD PITT/TOMMY CHONG~~~> 2012!!!

  • Lmfao. Fuck yes.

  • I would vote for him

  • I live in New Orleans i saw him riding his bike recently. so cool lol

  • why is a hetero, atheist, legalize marijuana, gay marriage proponent not electable?

    i've been waiting years for a candidate like that. just shows you how backwards this country really is.

  • Go figure hu ?

  • Because half of this country is completely against all that.

    I agree... we NEED a candidate that actually speaks for himself.

  • Brad Pitt Rules!

  • Jesus was a communist in the general sense.

    He also advocated HELPING THE POOR AND DISENFRANCHISED AND SPREADING THE WEALTH. That's right. Giving your money to the poor and disadvantaged. Not exactly the traits of Republicans THAT claim they are CHRISTIANS. Hypocrites. Maybe Republicans should ask this: WWJD

  • I have watched a few of the Holmes (a good Canadian boy) on Homes in NO episodes, and saw how Brad Pitt was the one celeb who was there helping out. I have to agree wholeheartedly that Pitt is pretty cool. I've always liked him as an actor, but after he made his political position clear...at least as far as gay marriage, weed and religion goes...I like this guy a lot more! I'm not gay, but I am an atheist pothead who thinks he would make a great mayor! More celebs need to step up to the plate!

  • This dude is right. Real morals are about helping each other, not about believing in a god that doesn't really do anything, or prohibiting people from smoking what they want, or supporting gay marriage. MORALS ARE ABOUT CARING ABOUT THE ONES IN NEED!!

  • I think he should just run - he's so popular that might win, despite his unpopular views! It's about time someone other than Dawkins/Hitchens/Harris/etc... came out and represented atheism and reasonable, RATIONAL ideals. PITT FOR MAYOR.

  • He's kicked ass since he was Tyler freaking Durden

  • Brad Pitt rocks. Though I must guess that he might not be a big fan of the healthcare reform. Listening to him speaks definately gives me the feel of a libertarian heart. Which wouldnt be very surprising considering Jolie also is a professed atheist libertarian.

    Go brad!

  • Libertarians? So much for helping the poor etc.

  • Yeah.. well. Actually most of the largest philantropist in the world has been libertarians. Bill Gates and Rockerfeller to mention a few. Don't equate a genuine desire to help the poor with willingness to confiscate others peoples money through the state.

  • Bill Gates is not a philanthropist.

    As far as I know, he still has billions and billions of dollars.

    What do you need billions of dollars for?

    There is no justification for keeping that money while millions of people starve to death.

    The fact that he was able to donate a lot of money is due to the fact that he had an enormous amount of money and he still has an enormous amount of money.

    Real philanthropists live a modest life, like Ghandi, Dalai Lama etc. who are all socialists.

  • I admire you for the softness of your heart. Though I am afraid that it extends to your head.

  • Wow, Brad Pitt kicks ass.

  • I went to New Orleans recently and a colleague took us on the "tour" of the FEMA-neglected areas that were devastated in Katrina. Many thousands of homes are simply vacant lots now, with some of the original structures remaining to be torn down on some streets. But then there were these incredible NEW houses, cool architecture, colors, and giving a feeling of hope and resilience. On closer inspection, they were the Pitt-Jolie built homes. Acivism that is more than mere words.

  • sadly activism is just a mare word most of the time...and it shouldnt be like that..brad pitts the man..talk is cheep...but hes really actually doin something...god bless

  • Republicons = The Deceivers

  • haha..RepubliCONS

  • Good stuff huh? It just fits Republicons = The Con Artists of The Republic!

  • Brad Pitts a Hero =D

    If hes mayor though, i want him to keep making films

  • LOL - that's what my 65 year old mother says about conservatives! Her explanation is - if you are thinking about what people do in the privacy of their own home enough to want to legislate about it, you are a pervert.

  • conservatives are sickos

  • for president yeah!!!!!!!!!

  • Brad Pitt For Mayor!

  • And he's a big Radiohead fan :D

  • brad pitt's a g!

  • can someone please just elieminate poletics altogether, it's not really going anywhere at the moment, don't wait for the president and every other leader for change

  • I don't know what "poletics" are, but I agree... we should not wait, we should "elieminate" them now!

  • i would say right on brother man, but i hate fuckers who try and be the grammar police on youtube, for fuck sake, 14 yr old kids go on here looking for johnas borhters

  • lol, pervy wanker, cenk's new favorite phrase

  • LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER

  • and common sense is a disease

  • LOL. yeah says the retard who leaves a random comment in caps. go fuck yourself.

  • Cenk said, "Real Morality is Helping Out Other People."

    Goodness rules.

    A friend of mine told me that Peace and Love is what the Universe is all about. That Peace and Love keep the Universe together.

    Yeah. Groovy... I see what you mean.

  • That's hippy stuff. The better way to say it is that noncooperation stunts progress.

  • The New Orleans city charter wouldn't allow him to run anyway but based on his platform, I would vote for him.

  • Brad Pitt's term might work. I call myself an atheist, but I don't believe there's any difference between atheism and the actual position of most who call themselves agnostic.

    I'm willing to offer a peace deal with agnostics:

    Let's all call ourselves "agnostic-stroke-atheist" or "atheist-stroke-agnostic" from now on.

    To ignorant people, you won't sound so indecisive and we won't sound so fundamentalist.

    Do we have a deal?

    I'll throw in a free devil-horns hat.

  • too funny

  • you're awesome dude.

  • I'd vote for Brad Pitt.

  • Is real morality helping people?

    Give a man a fish he eats for a day. Teach him to fish he eats for a lifetime.

    No, it is enabling people help themselves.

  • If a democrat sees a man who is cold the democrat will give the man fire. If a republican sees a man who is cold the republican will teach the man how to make his own fire, and then toss him into the fire so he'll never complain about being cold again.

  • Exactly why both parties are useless.

  • They are getting used alright... Against us.

  • I saw a campaign once for an African country with that slogan, problem was:

    They had been living there for thousands of years as fisherman.....the 'western owned' trawlers had emptied the sea off their coast.

    While I agree with your sentiment, often it doesn't work out as simple as that slogan implies.

    Those people needed a 'fish for the day'...not being told how to fish

  • The problem there is the fact that they could not compete with those who had collossal trawlers, and these trawlers were taking too many fish and destroying the ecological balance.

  • Doh

  • America should just move its capitol from Washington to Hollywood.

  • lol pervy wankers...so true

  • I HATE THEM PERVY WANKERS

  • not your best work.

  • Way to go Pitt. I was never a huge fan (though i loved Fight Club) but after hearing this im much more taken with him.

  • Pervy Wanker the new TYT phrase

  • Good point about morality Cenk. Compare that to the right wing asshats trying to stop health care reform.

  • Celebrities like Brad Pitt are our real political leaders!

  • Comment removed

  • N.O. Mayor?

    Why not.

    If Hillary Clinton can traps up to NY to win the Senate seat, then Pitt can hop down to try to replace the liberal racist Nagin.

    On the other hand Cenk......

    please listen to your video.

    You are either loosing it man, or

    you have already lost it.

    I know you are a liberal and all, but

    Don't be so fucking angry.

  • 1) It's "traipse".

    2) Angry?

  • 1] Thank you. My spell check is broken.

    2]  Angry? No, no my little grasshopper. When I err, I suck it up and say so.

    Unlike The Bama.

    57 States anyone?

  • i agree you can get your point across without calling people wankers and fat bastards-your lowering your level to that of the republicans

  • Yeah that's a good point. I think Cenk feels justified calling people names because it's just so disproportionate on the other side.

  • why not! Brad Pitt fucking rocks!

  • Brad pitt was hilarious on real time with bill maher friday

  • Cheers to Mr. Pitt.

  • if everyone was like brad pitt, the world would be perfect

  • if they didnt kno that when he did True Romance they are fuckin dumb

    shit i think he was even voted Stoner of the Year for 1993 or 94 by High Times lol

  • God I hate guys like this, whose heads are firmly lodged up their own asses.

    Does he really think Brad Pitt is the ONLY GUY helping in New Orleans? That no republican has ever picked up a shovel or a checkbook for those stranded by Katrina?

    Give me a break. The only thing worse than a republican in office is a democrat, because they THINK they are doing a better job.

    You're all a bunch of screwups once you have an ounce of power.

    <<<<<Libertarian

  • He's a sinner and is going to hell... that is h-e-double hockey sticks!

  • this /b/tard approves 100%.

  • rulez 1&2. FAGGOT!

  • 1. I wasn't talking about anonymous, or anything really in particular.

    2. Those rules are for raids, so we dont have retards going around talking to media.

    3. 4chan isn't some "Word-that-must-not-be-spoken"­. Its just a site, and if your going to let it control your morals or follow some rules that were made up by some random person, then that goes against everything that anonymous is.

    4. Not everyone follows the rules. That is what anonymous is.

    So GTFO newfag, and stop trying to act olfag.

  • ANON APPROVES!

  • lol, Fuck mayor; Brad Pitt for President with those fantastically logical views ^_^

  • lol, "pervy wankers." Let's see how many clips you can work that one into.

  • LOL pervy wankers.

  • brad pitt should run in cali

  • ha ha! nice use of the brit slang there cenk, yeah real morality isnt about what you do to yourself or with others behind closed doors (so long as it doesnt harm anyone but yourself or those who agree to it) its more about what you do to strangers, if you try to help those less fortunate, try to be nice to people, and just generally be an all round nice guy

  • well he is obama's cousin. hes part of the bloodline. put him in office.

  • I totaly agree.

  • Kinda weird hearing a yank say wanker.

    But yay, keep making those vidoes!

  • lmao- i wonder if it means the same thing to them?

  • not cenk's best vid. not that i dissagree with his point.

  • OMG!

    Cenk is getting HOTTER BY THE DAY!!

  • NO..just with the new camera you can actually see what the hell he looks like.

    before the new camera i thought cenk was one of those guys with a ponytail.

  • My bad! I meant Cenk. *blush*

  • Cena, don't get it twisted! Conservatives are DOING everything they berate liberals for. That's why they know so much about the things they publicly scoff at. :-)

  • POT SHOULD BE LEGAL BUT NOT TAXED

  • why not taxed?

  • atleast not an unfair high tax. why should government get a piece of everything we do, they try to steer ppls choices with high taxes like they do on cigarettes. if they put a $50 tax per an ounce tax on pot ppl will just buy and sell it in the black market instead of at a store or something.

  • yeah, 15/20 % would be more fair, its not as if its difficult to produce. here in the U.K tax is 77% on tobacco!!!!!

  • yeah but dude dealers are fuckin rippin everyone off-prices should come down if everything goes ligit-ive a mate working in south africa who buys an ounce every two weeks for 20bucks

  • HA HA HA. Pervy wankers!

  • I knew there was a reason why brad pitt is one of my top ten favorite actors, if he does run for mayor, I'm moving to new orleans.

  • Go brad! No religion would be awsome. i love you man.

  • Go Brad!.. Legalize mariuana.. show these stupid Americans that its not dangerous at all.. There is not 1! case in the entire human history that some1 has died from the use of mariuana.... Ppl in the us are so missled when it comes to Mariuana. Tobakko is way more dependive, and so is alcahole.. common guys wake up.

  • Concur

  • True republicans stay in their own business. Moralist campaigners and Neo-cons are completely different.

  • Brad Pitt was the bomb in Fight Club! =)

    I'd vote for him ^^

  • Brad Pitt is the man!!!!

    I love your moves, especially: Fight Club, Se7en, Twelve Monkeys.

  • Brad you've inspired this athiest libreal to go do some charity work.

  • When someone comes up to me and says, with a straight face, that Alcohol is less dangerous than Marijuana.

    THEN we can have a discussion.

    I hate those anti-marijuana pricks who go home, pop up their 40-year old bourbon and get wasted.

    Politicians are afraid of marijuana because giving civilians freedom is scary to them.

    I love Europe.

  • marijuana is much more fucking dangerous than alcohol you fucker...

  • in what way? name one?

  • Hahahahaha.

  • THC, the chemical in marijuana that makes you high, doesn't dehydrate you (unlike alcohol), doesn't give you hangovers (unlike alcohol), doesn't damage your liver (unlike alcohol), is not addictive (unlike alcohol), doesn't make people violent/aggressive (unlike alcohol), and is impossible to overdose from (unlike alcohol).

    So how is it more dangerous? If you think it is, then produce some evidence for it, not just call someone named.

  • the guy that written that has experienced marijuana and you can see that the writes

    I have had amazing experiences that have made me a more peaceful, loving, open-minded person who enjoys life

    this is the real thing that happends to you

    you loose your ability to react

    you would never blame anything you have done yourself for any pain at all

    wich explains why this guy is so " smoking is good " rigth?

    it slows you nerves

    it makes SOME PEOPLE more aggresive

  • Comment removed

  • dude you can't even string a sentence together without fucking up your spelling or grammer maybe you should try some of mother earths finest

  • i am Norwegian dumbass

  • do u live in north america or in norway?

  • rofl..

  • this is the 4th fucking comment i write i was suppose to incloude a link in my comment but it's impossible

    so search google for "how bad is marijuana for you" and you find it on first link

    anyways

    marijuana makes you think that everything happens around you that you can't for example stop smoking, or drinking, or whatever by yourself, it will just happend someday.

  • i hope your being sarcastic.

  • hey they tried to take our alcohol but we fought back maybe its time you do the same. then i could get fucked up on both.

  • I know. I was just pointing out what a bunch of hypocrites politicians can be.

    Marihuana is legal in the Netherlands and guess what, use of all other drugs has gone significantly down since it was legalised years ago. :)

  • yeah i know what you mean some times you just want what you cant have

  • Oh, I CAN have it.

    I can smoke pot as much as I want.

    I'm from Belgium.

    I just have to drive to the Netherlands, or buy it from a friend who happens to have some, though that latter one isn't really legal.

    But the Netherlands is like not even an hour away.

    You can use it in Belgium, just not sell/buy it or use it near minors.

  • sounds nice over there

  • It is.

    Our health inscurance is one of the best in the world too.

    But politicians are shitheads everywhere in the world, I'm afraid. :D

  • Plus, pretty much anyone can go to university over here.

    I mean that.

    Socialism is bad huh? Take a look at your country, Republicans.

    peace & love!

  • Cenk and Brad 2012!

  • go cenk

  • I'd go gay for Brad Pitt

  • cenk man you should run for mayor

  • when i clicked this vid, i thought i'd be disagreeing with the story but it's actually the opposite! i couldnt agree more!!

  • dude!

    i love this guy

  • Brad Pitt sides with me on every fucking issue I've heard him speak about. I'd vote for him defenitely.

  • I know! Because he gives people the freedom to fuck their own lives up. He just says 'If you want to smoke pot until you are mindless, go for it' (Not against pot, just saying) Everyone loves guy like that

  • he has done more for katrina victims then the government kinda sad really how much our government fails.

  • Imagine living in a country where intelligent, thoughtful, well-spoken people actually made the laws and upheld them.. Yeah it's a pipe dream but isn't it a nice one?

  • I love how the word Wanker has crossed the pond and gone main stream in the US!

  • Not really.

  • I couldn't give a toss, myself.

  • actually.... New Orleans is probably one of the few cities in the U.S. where he could actually win an election. jesus christ, we already have semi-legal public intoxication, legalish prostitution, gambling/horse racing, the mafia and officials so corrupt it makes your ears bleed. all rounded out with (still) one of the highest murder rates in the country. I fail to see how an agnostic, pot smoking, gay friendly actor is such a stretch. in fact, he's probably a perfect fit.

  • oh yea and loose firearms laws

  • Sounds about right but my guess is that "agnostic" part would kill his chances. Everyone knows atheists don't have souls.

  • I think you mean asians don't have souls.

    JK...

  • I'll bet you most of the current religious right would probably agree with you on that ;)

  • hes probably a secret society robot just like shwazzenager is i wouldnt vote for em

  • Seems like Brad and Angie brought out the best in each other

  • Comment removed

  • Eh If he became the mayor of New Orleans, I'd vote for him if I lived there.

    It's already been established that actors can be govenors, a mayor.

    I agree w/ his quote. hell That's probably a platform that I'd run on if I were to. But he does have a point. lol

  • Yeah no kidding about immorality of healthcare reform. Last president people protested war, now they protest are against insuring people... wow

  • i never really cared about brad pitt, but i completely agree with his quote, i don't think he should be mayor since he isn't in politics yet but man, he's right

  • quinten tarantino just did an interview recently where he talked about smoking pot with brad pitt during the filming of inglorious bastards...it was on jimmy kimmel live i believe.

  • lol me and brad pitt r blazin =)

  • Um, no offense, think2wice (catchy!), but seeing as health care reform is.... kind of a big issue right now, I personally felt it was a legitimate comment. I don't like it any more than you do (do you?) when political personas throw insults at one another, but (a) it makes a difference when facts back your words and (b) some people need it spelled out for them (can you say, Rush Limbaugh?)

  • I agree that his point is legitimate.

    I just have a problem with the context.

    He mocks (and righfully so) Rush and Beck for saying that the Nazi's were in favor of protecting the environment as evidence that environmentalism is evil.

    Yet here Cenk just wandered into health care out of nowhere - 1) "Brad Pitt is in favor of liberal polices (which I personally agree with)", 2) "Brad Pitt is cool", 3) "Republicans are hypocrits", 4) We need health care reform - lost me with a non-sequitor.

  • Random jump-in!  I respect your opinion and I see where it comes from; I agree with you, to some extent. But whether it is relevant or not to Brad Pitt, it is relevant to today's America. That's all I felt like saying, have a good one.

  • Pervy wankers that do shit stuff.

  • Way to work the health care debate into a story that has nothing to do with health care.

    Cenk - you're always calling people out on having an agenda, only sticking to their talking points and bringing irrelevant material into a debate. I call "foul" on this one.

    By the way, I agree with you about health care reform - it just has nothing to do with Brad Pitt for Mayor. I also agree with all of Brad Pitt's views on all the issues that he mentioned.

  • Cenk is a liberal political commentator, I didn't know this was a secret to some people.

  • Its no secret.

    My point is that he often bashes Rush, Glenn Beck, the Birthers, (insert your favorite right-wing nut job) for bring up tangental and irrelevant points to bolster their arguments. Brad Pitt being 1) in favor of gay marriage, 2) agnostic, and 3) pro-legalization of marijuana has absolutely nothing to do with health care reform. However, Cenk managed to somehow tie Brad Pitt to health care reform.

    I love Cenk and agree with him 92% of the time. But here he stretched a bit.

  • Of course he smoked weed. He was in True Romance as a pot head. Obviously he smoked up.

  • Id vote for him In a new york minute. I agreed with every stance he said and Im sure there are many millions who agree. Fuck you bible thumpers!

  • I'd vote for him XD

  • I've always liked his movies, now I know He's a cool motherfucker in real life just like matt damon.
