TYT Hour 10/14/09 (Healthcare, Hannity, Star Trek & More!)

[shazzadee]

You should cover the occupy Melbourne story where a woman was stripped of her clothing by police and left in her underwear. Who decides what constitutes as clothing! Please cover this story! Videos available on youtube.

[TheProfessor134]

For some really really odd reason.. Cenk reminds me of Bruce Wayne.. And that is kinda hot...

Probably won the award for most awkward comment.. But oh well lol!

[WatchVenusSpa]

I wanna spank Ana's bum!

[sethmanrockandroll]

Homosexuality is an act, no one can be a homosexual unless they actually have sex or become sexually active. No one is born "gay".

But that is accurate what he's saying. Its more consistent to simply prosecute the actual crimes that are being committed rather than what is said or believed in.

[tekhiun]

so no one is heterosexual too, since heterosexuality is an act , you must become sexually active to become an heterosexual. No one is born straight, according to your line of thought.

[sethmanrockandroll]

That is actually a fairly good point also. People should stop trying to determine the "sexuality" in children. At those really young ages, none of them are (or at least none of them should be) sexually active.

Kids are kids, so let them be kids.

[tekhiun]

I agree with you except that sexuality also has to do with arouse. If you a guy a that get aroused when you see naked men, you are at least bisexual. But yeah it is a bit silly these days to label sexuality, let all people be bisexuals and let them choose whatever person they like as a partner.

[sethmanrockandroll]

Yick.

[tekhiun]

lolwhat? im not familiar with that word mate what does it mean ?

[sethmanrockandroll]

Yick means Yuck, as in "gross or disgusting".

[tekhiun]

ah ok, well what i meant to say is that we should just ignore the question of sexuality altogether , because imo it seems irrelevant most of the time.

[retardobarnes]

Probably because he is, as he admits, a Liberal. If this is somehow shocking news, you may be in the wrong place.

[bubbaclubba22]

I have watched his show and if you don't think he is pushing a hard left liberal agenda you are nuts, I watched an episode the other night where he stuck up for Acorn. Also some one sent me a comment that he is trying to get a job on MSNBC which is the most biased liberal news channel out there.Hmmm I wonder why never hardly sais anything bad about Liberals???

[bubbaclubba22]

This show is not fair and Balanced at all. This guy sticks up for acorn. I can't believe this guy just rips on fox news in almost all of his episodes but never sais anything at all about msnbc at all. He calls out all these conservatives and smears them but never has anything bad at all to say about liberal media. This Guy lives in a world where all Republican Politicians are morons and the Democrats are perfect. This Guy is the biggest hypocrit ever.

[fywacia]

If you listen to the show you will notice that he doesn't give the democrats a free ride. If he did he would have no credibility with me. As far as Acorn is concerned if I were you I wouldn't cave into the conservative attacks on the organization, instead I would do the research myself from the raw sources and then come to a conclusion. Acorn has it's problems but it's been over blown and exploited for the purpose waging political attacks.

[bubbaclubba22]

If you are a tax payer wether liberal or conservative u should care about Acorn. Did you see the videos these are not Conservative attacks this was people simply people exposing corruption of a goverment funded organization.

[SpiderWhiteYT]

bubbaclubba22, what Government funding? Acorn was under sucspion before Obama was in the white house and the dems started taking seats.

Also, TYT has commented how disgusted they were with Obama. And what liberal media? Whenever Obama says something that hurts him it's plastered all over the news. You sound like Fox News when they claimed they were the only ones who covered the Washington protest out of MSNBC and CNN.

[meeshlabelle]

To the person ticked off about having to watch a commerical: they have to pay the bills and make a living!

[sauceykat]

1 star for stupid full screen commercial before video

[abdighazi]

and one star for pretending that a billwritten by the insurance companies (wall st journal) and endorsed by walmart and the ama is progressive.and also for calling your show a name for zionit fascists who killed armenians of 1 million.

[AnotherCuppaCoffee]

New data show that 1 of 6 Americans live in poverty. That may pt us behind northern Europe, but hey, it puts us way above Guatamala. And our health care system is better than theirs! Yeah, maybe ranked 37th in the world, but way above Guatamala.

[RedNProud]

When 'Sicko' came out and Moore took a bunch of people getting screwed over by their insurence companies to Guantanamo Bay to demand the same healthcare as the inmates get and then took them on to Cuba to get treated the Rep. dogs jumped on how the USA actually ranked 3 places higher than Cuba. So the (technically) richest country in the world ranks a whole THREE places higher than an impoverished, embargoed Carribean nation. Speaks for itself I think.

[BrattyMaddy]

Chuck Scumer is a classy coool dude

[BrattyMaddy]

Love the young turks song!

[angryfyce]

Did anybody else see the guy with a cat at 31:08?

[CptBoots]

Yes, it's right before he says "I know one thing" and I think it was an accidentally queued graphic of the guy. i don't know maybe they were kinda free form, from their rehearsed dialog.

[crazycarnypoptart]

hey mytaylor thanks to his stimulus package he presented he actually saved or created over a million jobs so far, and the stimulus isn't even completely spent yet. And for the record if someone is a member of a christian church than that means they are christian not muslim

[mytaylor310]

so all you got to do is join a church and your a christian your dumber than a box of rocks.I guess all Christians are supposed to bow down to the king of sierra to. And lets talk about his so called stimulus plan. "I am going to tax the super rich" (but not until i give them 500 trillion dollars to pay there bonuses with the only thing he stimulated was the pockets of some already very rich people and he cost a hell of a lot more jobs than he saved and the only jobs he has created are govt.

[angryfyce]

Fuck Chryons disease...

[BrattyMaddy]

lol

[mytaylor310]

It,s too bad that our muslim president is more concerned about shoving health care down our throats than he is about creating jobs cause if you don,t have a job how are you going to pay for there health care(extortion) health care is the type of thing you try to do when the country is strong not when its broken and divide and trying to fight three wars of coarse unless your trying all you can to destroy this country :you figure it out

[21hurtst]

another lying, name calling, no fact presenting, talking point presenting republican i see! give me facts and solutions Just one!

[mm89f]

you're right we should get the atheists(fake christians) back in office

[BrattyMaddy]

heee heee like when wwe have a record surplus? Oh no wait repubs think that is a good time to let corporations loot the treasury.

[gakman55]

you know what's worse than living with crohns disease? living in a nation with so many democrats.

[TAz69x]

Why's that?

[mukome]

If Harry Reid fights for the public option, it will NOT be because he thinks he'll get credit for it from liberals.

He's a lot of things, but he's not dumb. He knows with certainty that he will NOT get credit for the public option from liberals, regardless of what he does and how it turns out.

If he fights for the public option, it will be for some other motivation than getting credit for it. He would have to believe strongly in the principle of it, for example.

[RedNProud]

ransomdave. It was supposed to be heavily sarcastic but looking at it again it doesn't come across well in a short written comment. My bad.

[themangafrak]

america will mimic the empire of rome if it stays on this path of idiocy,the left isnt as bad as the right.cause their more smear campaigning then facts and relevance.the right are proven lairs.

[pokeyugi13]

werent right wingers the prolife ones

[TheAleska1987]

Totally love TYT...Turks are hot :) But seriously, you guys are very much more moderate liberal than far left....I enjoy your program.

The Aleska1987

[RedNProud]

Why don't the Democrats have spine to just ram the most radical version down their throats even if it means most if them going out in a blaze of glory. Doesn't ANYONE in the US legislature give more of a shit about the people they are supposed to serve rather than lining their own pockets?

[pbrlimit]

RedNProud: Democrats are spineless cowards who represent NOTHING. But, the Republicans had the majority needed to make abortion illegal during Bush's term - why didn't they do that ?

It's because both parties are traitors to us, the American people. They need to be taken and replaced by true patriots.

[charmar39]

why do i hear banjos?

[beatsbytheory]

Why didn't the Republicans make abortion illegal? BECAUSE THEY CAN'T!!! Making abortion illegal would be representing/in favor of religion. Have you ever read the Constitution? 1st Amendment kid. Abortion is nothing but a campaigning topic that the Right uses to gain votes because they know a majority of the Right wingers are ignorant bandwagon riding fools that vote and react to McCarthyism rhetoric vs fact, logic, common sense, rationale and history- hence, the reason that Fox noise exists.

[bigtex501]

WHY ***AMERICA REJECTS*** OTHER COUNTRY'S GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE PLANS! **TAX FREEDOM DAYS** (Date "you" PAY TAXES until you get to KEEP YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY!) US.... April 13th (Date "they" PAY TAXES until.. for "their" universal health care) Spain.. May 21st UK......May 14th Canada.... June 6th Germany... July 8th France...... July 16th Sweden.... July 29th NOTE: numbers do NOT reflect the NATIONAL SALES TAX "THEY" pay in comparison to the US... US 9%, UK 17.5%, France 20%

[RedNProud]

Coming from the UK. So? Don't Conservatives celebrating over tearing the NHS appoint.

[ransomdave]

RedNProud,

Regarding your comment:

"Don't Conservatives celebrating over tearing the NHS appoint."

I'm guessing that you mean:

"Aren't the Conservatives celebrating over tearing the NHS apart."

I don't know what you've heard but most people in the UK are happy with the NHS, and I think you would find it very difficult to find a single person who would prefer to pay for healthcare through insurance instead. Please see:

watch?v=GPNWX-aIMXk

[RedNProud]

You misunderstand me. The Conservative Party fought tooth and nail against the NHS but Atlee shoved it down their throats. Now, even though most of them would still like to dismantle it they can't because it would be political suicide since we all like it. So the Republicans in America can't stop the introduction of some public healthcare they won't ever be able to reverse it. I'm opposed to private healthcare on principle on the basis that the shareholders would always come before the ill.

[ransomdave]

RedNProud,

On the one hand you seem to dislike nationalized healthcare, but on the other you say that you are opposed to private healthcare. What other alternatives do you propose? Obviously both have their ups and downs, but it seems to me a travesty when some of the poorest citizens in a nation are denied healthcare due to their poverty.

[RedNProud]

You have me wrong. I'm very strongly in favour of universal healthcare like we have here in Britain where the private companies are out on the fringe. I just think that the american proposals are a case of rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic. True reform would have to be root and branch, breaking completely the 'run for profit' Insurence system. The public option is better than nothing but it's still just a case of patching up leaks. We're on the same side mate

[troglodyte3344]

of Coooooooooooourse !

[dkkght46]

I actually hope the Democrats pass it. It will destroy them. We can pick up the pieces later.

This things will utterly infuriate America. Democrats will be Endangered Speicies. The entire Obama Presidency will collapse if this passes. The cluesless Dems do not see it coming.

This is will be America's version of Nuke em.

[mintvagoo]

Ignorance is Right -Wing Erotica.

[lilsparky97]

be open minded little republican just remember we all share the world the fact you guys are at like it all belloings to you means nothing

[bigtex501]

dkkght,

Agreed! I guess they didn't learn from the Jimmy Carter years! LOL

But then again.. maybe those that were around back then ENJOYED paying 21% interest on their home mortgages!

[dkkght46]

Yes 21% interest rates and I remember a family friend who was happy they bought a car with a 16% interest rate.

I want everyone 22 years and older to be forced to have healthcare (mandatory) and enforced by the IRS (that will teach them). That would mean a lot less beer and fuck-off money then lets see how they vote from now on. Teach these incompetant asholes a REAL life-long lesson.

[osLuke]

lol I'm from Maine--don't trust either of our senators, they are politicians to the core and care nothing for the struggles of regular humans. The only reason Snowe has approved of the bill is to further her own political lifespan (keep in mind she is a republican in the northeast...). If she lived in Georgia, for example, she probably would have voted the other way, for the same reason. For this reason, neither can be trusted with decisions of any real significance.

[PurpleHoneyBear]

She's an interesting old lady.

[guitarjeff92]

fuck chron's disease!

[TheDuckofLaw]

i've liked all of the star trek series, though i never saw Enterprise, so i don't know about that one.

[SeanTheOriginal]

Stupid Republican.

[HimmuraTube]

C'mon Reed....show some spine!!!

[sheepwshotguns]

1. star trek tng

2. star trek voyager

3. star trek original series

4. deep space nine

5. enterprise

original series could be considered number 1 considering how revolutionary it was at the time, but im a kid of the early 90's =P

[BenjaminFranklin2u]

I'm with ya 100%, good list = )

[chipdspenser]

wow i thought she died in that heavens gate thing

[IAmPhotoBucket]

I'll never understand why someone would beat the ever living shit out of someone because they're gay. Hating gays is just one step above being afraid of cooties.

[EndlessPalm]

That is an EXCELLENT way of putting it!

[LtShock]

YOU'RE SUCH A DOUCHEBAG

[drgoodvibesxxx]

wow, you seem so smart and have such an intelligent argument. let me guess your well informed, read lots of books and have a degree right ?

[morenitorocks]

your a fucking idiot.

[drgoodvibesxxx]

wow man thats such a smart argument, let me guess your well informed, read lots of books and have a degree ?

[Luminasita]

Nichelle is always entertaining to listen too, she's had some interesting times in her life. Go YT!

~Kat

[kazooga1234]

[GCensorship]

Alright.. alright.. enough with the shitty tough guy intro music bullshit. We want to watch the show, not listen to music.

[kazooga1234]

[x1600meterman]

[kazooga1234]

[manga1288]

[Xpierd]

IJUstine :)

[StewieSwan]

I'm only watching this for the star trek segment

[VolatileReaction]

I'm going to have to watch Star Trek one of these days.

[Xendinthian]

Do it NAO. Watch the original Star Trek series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, the original cast movies (1-6), and then STOP. Seriously, don't go any further than that. It will suck.

[BenjaminFranklin2u]

Voyager over DS9 for sure.

[Xendinthian]

Hellz to the no.

[greataff]

It's Nuh-vad-a (where vad rhymes with glad)

IT'S NOT Nuh-vod-uh (where vahd rhymes with rod)

[sawsee28]

unless ur from england

[wheresurhat]

You say Tah-may-toes, I say To-Mah-Toes.

[styrofoamheart]

harry reed is planning to be a lobbiest after his next election.

[srikarrao2]

great show

[passenger9411]

Hitting "refresh" doesn't get rid of the commercials anymore.

[micahgee]

good thing adblock plug in does

[shayaan2354]

i dont think it ever did

[Lamarmusizz]

Why do people want to post first on video's?

Do youtube give prizes to people who post the first comment?

[PISTOLcm]

Yes

[psynema]

You get $100 ad revenue bonus

[belliebum12]

Yes. It's called "The Biggest Dickhead" award. The award comes with public humiliation, social rejection, and an unwarranted sense of self worth.

[bangurdead102]

if he doesn't put it in, I hope something serious happens to him

[TechState]

good job tyt, i love this show, i'm from the UK and you guys have given me a great slice of US political shenanigans and other stories, you make it fun, intelligent AND interesting too!!!! you guys rock!

[PartVIII]

[mentoooos]

I LOVE THE YOUNG TUrKSz
