  • The Young Turks launched an unprovoked genocide of 4 MILLION unarmed Armenian, Greek, and Nestorian Christians.

    Men, women, children were shot, tortured, raped, and driven off into the desert to die. Schools were converted to gas chambers by Turkey's liberal progressive government (their OWN description) 40 years before Hitler's "final solution' on 6.5 million Jews.

    Who still talks nowadays of the extermination of the Armenians? - Adolf Hitler

    You progressives better learn YOUR history.

  • @normalais Uh, Clinton, a neoliberal like Reagan, too, is largely responsible for that, dumbass.

    Clinton is almost solely responsible for the US's predicament with China today...

    Clinton wanted the US to trade with China and for them to join the WTO...despite HUGE trade deficits and Chinese protectionism.....he got his fucking adultering wish, faggot

  • @1stLtDavis Thank you! If only all Americans could see true colors of Clinton as you do. I just don't see how Clinton can even be considered as a Democrat. Whatever. Sigh.

  • Fucking Calculus

  • TRUE DERIVATIVES ARE THE PROBLEM

  • He says that they were wrong and he was wrong to take it, then blames Bush for lax regulatory environment but starts by talking about how Glass Steagal had already been breached. It could only have been breached on an ongoing basis without proper regulation. To suggest it was Bush's SEC, which was no gem and was definitely worse , is still a false claim.

  • 8% of toxic assets where invested with deposits.

    Glass Steagal is their to keep money invested productivity. Real Assets.

  • @gregboyds silly billy wasn't that intelligent.

  • @MyTiger44 He was a genius, actually. It's a fact.

  • In short, Clinton deregulated the markets, signed NAFTA and caused the beginnings of the recession, but he was honest enough to admit that he shouldn't have done so, at least in regards to the deregulating.

    He's far more honest than Bush ever 2was. He's got more balls than Obama.

  • Yeah, the banks already did merge, because you let them you dickhead.

    Just say you fucked up and shut the fuck up.

  • when are they going to fire the host?

  • i love bill clinton

  • @papiless  retard!.

  • Was he ever right ?

    The man was a disgrace to his office.

  • 1:20 "sadly none of them did that" I wonder why?? - 33% of All loans is "A Lot Of Money" - people with a lot of money make stupid decisions? No, all calculated

  • @LeftWingPOG Monica Lewinsky was using oral sex as a bribe to get abortion on demand.

  • Monica Lewinsky was using oral sex as a bribe to get abortion on demand.

  • come on guys..at least he apologized..shit what can we do when sex is offered to us

  • @gregboyds That he cheated on Hillary doesnt say much of his intelligence... Intelligent people are cheating on their wives/husbands all around. What is often the common denominator is 'power'.

  • Motherfuckers... 

  • bill clinton may have fucked a woman but why isnt bush apologizing for fucking america?

  • @TheTrueMetal9 did u not watch the fuckin video OR understand it? did you see the vid of Bush WARNING congress of Freddie and Fanny problems?? never mind your happier just hating Bush.

  • @davetileguy lol, youre funny...like realy funny

  • What Clinton actually says is that while the advice he got about derivatives was bad, killing off the Glass Act in 1999 was perfectly fine because banks were already cheating on that rule before that. Huh?!

    So... his position is that two wrongs make a right? Well, that was probably NOT the best way to proceed, there, Bubba!

  • fuck bill clinton!

    anyone who actually believes this monster was a good president is insane.

  • And this becomes a partisan issue? Only "republicans" equal Wall Street? I think history shows otherwise :O

  • damn compared to the last decade Clinton looks like a great president. Miss him. I'd take him getting BJs from interns over the fucking idiots who have nearly destroyed America.

  • @normalais

    Yeah and this is the same cunt who brought us the kosovo war and other things.

    Both parties are easily corrupt.

  • @jmjfanss At least Kosovo is a better place now. Would you have rather no one went into Rowanda? By the way, he was blamed for not hitting back more.

    Glass Steegle protected us from big boy gambles. The salaries of the SEC had been held down with staffing let to drop as well.

    The fact that the SEC investgated Maddoff and found no wrong doing needs to be investgated.

  • @normalais Because of morons like you, politicians never want to change their nasty behaviors. Clinton signed Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act into law, pushing deregulation of financial industry even further. And now you miss this bastard who's as guilty as Republicans for today's problems?

    No offense, but for morons like you, you DESERVE to be exploited by politicians like Clinton. Why should he give a damn when morons like you will always like him?

  • @normalais I don't give a shit about any boring BJ scandal. Just in case morons like you have not noticed, those of us who do use our brains, we hate Clinton as much as we hate Republicans. As a matter of fact, considering the fact that Clinton signed NAFTA and supported derregulation of banking, I'm not even really sure what's the difference between Clinton and a typical Republican. Clinton also LIED about massive weapons in Iraq. He also ordered attacks against Iraq. Ironic eh

  • @normalais Yeah, he's so great. He deregulated the banks, lied about massive weapons in Iraq, and signed NAFTA. LOL

    MORONS like you deserve to be exploited by politicians.

    Seriously, have some self-respect and raise the bar. You're as pathetic as those idiots who defend George W. Bush.

  • My bad,,what anashole CHEENK is, so Bill is a good guy now that he admitted that he was wrong.....LOL gee, thanks Bill...

  • The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on.

  • Only a hand full of investors would have bought them is money wasn't so easy! Glass Steagall doesn't address the source of the problem.

  • It's quite easy to be honest in the situation Clinton is in now, as an ex-president. He can only win on being honest and self-critic because he no longer has any political responsibilites, and it has been 10 years since his last term ended.

  • @OnkelMickwald only 10yrs?... Really? I thought he's been gone for 50 ;) LOL

  • Bill Clinton has hurt America more than the mainstream eaters will ever know. His gun ban still makes peoples blood boil enough that it still hurt Democrats to this day. This depression we are in is what the video is on. The mainstream will never allow you to see how responsible Clinton is for it. Hats off to Cenk!! Thanks Bill, now go jump off a cliff please.

  • There isn't anything large enough to cover these idiot's asses

  • he wasen't wrong, society made him feel wrong by having natural urges, monogomy isn't all that bad but the wrong thing would have been abusing his position to get young girl to do stuff with him

  • I love Bill Clinton, intelligent and well spoken!

  • EPIC FAIL...

  • It's really kind of hard to look at this guy,

    without seeing Monica on her knees, scoffing down his weinie.

  • The biggest mistake Bill made was marrying Hillary, who is clearly a lesbian. Not that there is anything wrong with lesbians, but I think he hooked up with all those ugly women because Hillary just wasn't into him. Without all that stuff, Clinton would have been a pretty decent president, and I didn't even vote for him. Bush himself is a decent guy, but he was just way too deep in the political machinery and was totally the puppet of his father's cronies. You could almost see the strings.

  • bill loves musical instruments, hes always playing the whoremonica

  • @mouthybitch88

    hahahaha

    oh that was good

  • @mouthybitch88 Hey! Me too!

  • recall bill once said that the "era of big goverment is over" after repealing glass/steagall. LOL. Bill screwed us up more than bush.

  • @helljumper1893 Two wars, shitty tax policy, and took a surplus and drove us into debt, really was worse than President Clinton.

  • @llcontrall The war must be the single-handed thing that keeps us floating from bringing us into double-digit unemployment rates. Ironically, it's true.

    National debt really has nothing to do with us. The republicans and the teabaggers use this as a dumb excuse to oppose fiscal stimulus, and justify a contractionary policy, while uneducated liberals blindly agree.

    Clinton allowed banks to underwrite securities; possibly the ONE act that culminated the breakdown of nov-dec '08.

  • @helljumper1893

    I just don't understand how President Clinton gets all the blame and none of it goes to President Bush. I think both parties are shit. I am not sure of your point about the war though and, I am not good with the economy but, how does the war keep unemployment low?

  • @llcontrall it's not easy to explain in a few words. i'll message you if you like. I don't deny that bush was a fuckup, however. He set a bad precedent in a number of ways, but besides ONE occasion i can think of (the steel tariff) Bush was actually a good economic planner with the guidance of Mankiw. He wasn't a Greenspan Zombie like reagan or clinton.

  • The truth needs no defense .... it is what it is.

    Learn from it and move forward in a better direction.

    To lie to yourself or others is fantasy, and reality will trump you every time.

    :P

  • Why not have sub-categories to the Democratic party, so that we can be a true democracy, with more than one Democratic candidate to choose from at election time. Rather than what would look like a nation torn between being a Republic or a Democracy, by choosing between Republicans and Democrats. Easily, The United States of America IS a Democracy "Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness". The Tea Party group wants the U.S. to be a Republic, which would take away the Democrats.

  • One Reason that the Plan Nixon set up was the discussion that AMERICANS HAD TOO MANY WEAPONS. It was the same comment made by Yamamoto many decades later as to why he didnt continue the attack to the shores of calif. Secondly, there were other not so apparent factors. WWIII was to happen in the

  • @KamikazeKoscki middle east. Thirdly, the Americans Progressives have always been in competition with the European progressives. The World government is Luciferian and must happen in exactly the right time. It is based on the Age of Aquarius and positioning of the planets as dictated by the real leaders of this conspiracy. Rothschilds, Rockfellers et al are only shoe shine boysit goes way beyond these losers.

  • @KamikazeKoscki The destruction and consolidation of banks is next. Small banks are targeted by big investors, and then the "investor" withdraws their money and kills the banks. Its happened this year in a few already.

  • Eeither "He was wrong"or"He was long"?

    only the intern can tell the world~

  • The time for interviewing criminals like Clinton are long past. It's time to arrest him and every other government official with past or present ties to the Trilateral Commission.

  • @FreedomsReigning Sure... can we arrest Bush/Cheney too then?

  • @BCRice111 "Sure... can we arrest Bush/Cheney too then?"

    Yep, I'll bring the rope.

  • If the glass steagall act was breached, then someone should have gone to jail. You were top cop Billy boy. WTF? Guess you were too busy snorting coke and getting little bill's saxophone blown.

    The truth, Bill did just what he was told to do. It's all about money, fame and shame. Ain't it Bill? Screw the wee people, huh? Guess with you that's a duality.

    Why don't you tell the American people how you and the Bush boys were running cocaine all through the 80's. Too much truth for ya'? Loser!

  • @tkcomputerservice yo suck a fat one. republicans were in congress and they wouldve stopped him from tightening regulation. lets get ur republicans back in congress and mccain elected, a man who voted with bush 95% of the time.

  • Gotta love that spin control.

  • our politicians are such corrupt assholes, are these YT douches on tv or WTF?!!

  • could you imagine G W Bush talking/articulating in these terms..?

    republican PUPPET for the dumb.

    holly shit..!

    . . . . . . . . . . .

  • Honesty in politics??? WTF??? Bill always seems like a nice guy. Anyway, good to see a politician admit to making mistakes.

  • @jezmundberserker

    Yeah EVERYONE makes mistakes. That's just part of living.

  • @jezmundberserker yeah way after his term

  • @MrAnimeking9000: True. However, I don't see Bush Jr. saying "sorry about starting those wars on false pretenses, taking away your freedoms and tanking the economy in the process" any time soon.

  • @jezmundberserker I never said I liked bush did I, bush is even more of a dumbass than clinton

  • @MrAnimeking9000: I didn't mean to imply you liked Bush. I was using him as an opposite to Clinton's attitude. George Bush does not know the meaning of self-criticism.

  • @jezmundberserker yeah, that's the one thing I like about bill, he's more of a people person I guess, bush on the other hand.......probably feels like driving nails into ur eyes

  • He was definitely wrong! On so so many points.

  • Well i hope TYT be next admit in hi bulshits.

  • @alexei3333 does your countrymen the Russian ever own up their shortcomings.

  • Dear YouTube, UPGRADE YOUR DAMN MULTICAST SERVERS!!! the spinning circle drives me crazy!!! oh and clinton is still the man!

  • The 2 trillion dollar Iraq war caused the meltdown.

    I saw it coming a mile away. That money would have been spent in economy instead of useless war. Even though Bush/Cheney tried to hide the trillions being spent on Iraq, and did not account for it, it still was the thing that undermined the ecoomny. There would still have been a recession, but nothing to write home about.

  • @SatwaMan I disagree. The invasion of Iraq probably saved the dollar from complete collapse. In 2000 Iraq started to trading oil in the more profitable euros instead of dollar. A few other OPEC countries, most notibly Iran and Venezular showed interest in doing the same. If this had happen the demand for dollars in the world would have plummeted.

    After the US invaded Iraq they immediately changed back to trading Iraqi oil in the less profitable dollar.

  • @dazzagazza6969 so what your saying then is it's a good thing that over 1,000,000 innocent people were murdered in order to save the dollar. The same dollar which because of the cost of this war is even more likely to fail now.....

  • @TheTwistedGypsy No I'm not saying that. I'm saying that the Iraq invasion was to save the dollar not to protect US citizens.

    I read many American's comments on YouTube condeming their government for the Iraq Invasion as though its the first invasion they have ever committed. The USA has attacked countless countries since WW2 and none have been to protect US citizens - all have been to expand their military and economic power across the world.

  • @SatwaMan Using that logic we can say medicaid the number one big item on the budget

  • Wait, there was an SEC during Bush Jr's atrocious, disastrous tenure?

  • yep the truth comes out, after he leaves office.

  • careful! people who fucked with clinton have been known to have 'little accident'

  • @thecorptube1 You mean Cheney.

  • Ah, fuck it. Maybe Americans deserve the economy to go belly up. Too long they've been consuming more than they should and being spoiled brats who think material possessions matter more than a person's character, health, happiness, yada yada. Fuck Americunts; they brought this on themselves.

  • @jfkjrlover I am one of many Americans who have never had any material possesions. I have no flat screen no fancy car no jewelry. I barely scrape by because I dont believe in buying things on credit. Im screwed too bud Im screwed too

  • the market will regulate itself without the federal reserve artificial low interest rate and government guaranteed loans through fannie and freddie.. republicans who only state the first half without the second half are just financial illiterates.. that's not what the true free market theory entails.. cenk can you for once cite the correct quote when you talk about free market economics and just for once talk about federal reserve, fannie and freddie? thanks. address my point n no strawmen thx

  • @spyletu - Oh, yes, they wouldn't have engaged in this fraud if they had just had LESS regulation. I must applaud you for saying something that makes no sense whatsoever.

  • @AntigoneRisen 1 it was addressed to cenk 2 i specifically said "no strawmen" and you failed to read both. i'm not sure if it's english illiteracy or inability to understand plain english that prompted this response. in either case i have no desire to further the conversation. enjoy the 12 dollar/hr job and have a nice life. by the way i never said "they wouldn't have.. LESS regulation" and the definition of strawmen is when you put words in people's mouth, just for education.

  • I don't know why people bash Clinton. All Clinton could have done was veto the bill and the Republican-led Congress would of over-ridden the veto anyway. So WTF does pissing and moaning about it does?...lets get serious and start getting the new financial regulation bill passed.

  • From what Clinton says about Glass-Steagal not really being enforced before it was officially repealed, I understand that that is true and that it was ignored by regulators since at least the 80s. That doesn't excuse completely lifting those bans, though.

  • He is just being payed more by someone else now. Hes a politian, his stances on issues depend on who is the highest bidder.

  • In the future we can ask Bill if he regrets selling military technology to China enabling them to launch long range nuclear missiles onto U.S. soil.

    Bill, you are a criminal and should be in prison.

  • @kthorn612

    What the hell are you talking about? China Could have built their own missiles without the help of Bill. But why would that matter? I think we should be a lot more concern with the Iran Conflict since they are manufacturing Nuclear weapons.

  • @novaliskree IIt only matters in the context in which I stated it. And that Bill did do this no matter what China's capacity may have been without his help. The point was...he did this. I am more worried about the agenda of the United States than any other country on the planet...the U.S. allied with Israel and NATO is the real threat to humanity.

  • @kthorn612 Lol and that will never ever be brought up in the mainstream media.

  • @kthorn612 have china blown anyone up yet, nope

  • @ecwaufisxtreme what morals she is a KKKonservative. the world have seen there morals and there principles. and is a very hipocrite to being christians .

  • @ecwaufisxtreme

    yeah she received principles from God eh? Thats why her daughter whorishly got pregnant outside of marriage right?

  • A day late and a dollar short, mothafucka.

  • "THIS IS HOW THEY COVER THEIR ASSES"

    TRUE, for a brief moment WE GOT A GLIMPSE OF THE TRUTH !

    They know they screwED up and we might be in hell of a lot more trouble "

  • @teleutube

    Now you know why the banker bailout was forced down our throats!

    obama bush clinton pelosi mccain all voted for the banker bailout that has cost us over 23 trillion in the last year. Both parties sold us out!

  • Old man clinton, old mann clinton

  • Nest, he should admit that he liked the BJ he got in the White House.

  • @Tako400000 HAHAHAHA

  • @Tako400000 Yes, because that would be completely relevant.

  • @MarquisdeBarrabas Indeed!

  • We need to amend the Constitution to let Bill have another go at it. Man, what would a Clinton administration have been like had the Dems. controlled both the House and the Senate?

  • @jezmundberserker Just like Obama, with the corporatists allied with the Republicans.

  • the best president since JFK no doubt. he really was a great president.

  • @zknix20 Fuck JFK! The best POTUS since Eisenhower! Had it not been for the scandals, history would be kinder to Clinton than to that senile actor Reagan!

  • @mlrockrules If it had not been for the scandals,,,that just covered everything,AHHAAHAHAHAHa next!

  • I did not have sexual relations with the American people in the ass.

  • @SkreetGil LOL

  • Clinton. The only president that a jaded, cynical person like myself can actually support. He cares about the country and his constituents.

  • @xxFortunadoxx

    You mean the Clinton that kept the Africa experts from his own state department waiting in his outer office for days so that there would be no possibility he would even be asked to intervene in Rwanda?

  • @xxFortunadoxx: Amen to that.

  • @xxFortunadoxx "Clinton. The only president that a jaded, cynical person like myself can actually support. He cares about the country and his constituents."

    How true, he proved that time and time again, especially with those vulnerable young female White House interns that were entrusted to his care.

  • @tthemessenger Your terrible sarcasm would be noteworthy if you, like all other clinton-haters didn't latch onto the scandal which has fuck-all to do with his competence and capability at being a leader.

  • @xxFortunadoxx  I was just agreeing with you, Bill Clinton clearly demonstrated his competence and capability at being a leader every time he was alone with his intern Monica Blewinski in the Oral Office. I'm sure she raised him to new heights.

  • @tthemessenger Your terrible sarcasm would be noteworthy if you, like all other clinton-haters didn't latch onto the scandal which has fuck-all to do with his competence and capability at being a leader.

  • @xxFortunadoxx checkmate, I win, bye bye.

    Lol. You win at nothing except being a spam, sockpuppet account. Go back to 4chan, rofl.

  • @xxFortunadoxx Like I said, I win, you lose. Case closed.

  • @xxFortunadoxx PS And don't start repeating yourself again, that's a clear sign of mental instability. Also don't tell people you worship Bill Clinton, that's another sign that you've lost it. Just trying to help.

  • @xxFortunadoxx In fact there should be a lasting memorial to Bill Clinton. Perhaps they could put Monica Blewinski's famous dress on permanent display inside the White House, that way future generations of Americans will know just how great Bill Clinton really was. And as an added touch they could play his most famous speech over and over "I NEVER HAD SEX WITH THAT WOMAN" so his legacy will never be forgotten.

  • @tthemessenger Your terrible sarcasm would be noteworthy if you, like all other clinton-haters didn't latch onto the scandal which has fuck-all to do with his competence and capability at being a leader.

  • @xxFortunadoxx True and he's a very nice person. You won't believe me on this, but Hillary is almost like him, and i base that on when i met her and how much knowledge she has. Anyways, Both are very intelligent people. Bill is my favorite along with Alan Grayson, lol.

  • @Stingerbillion Exactly. To me, it doesn't matter whether his camp backpeddled on the response unless he, himself, released the statement to backpeddal. He, publicly admitted that he made the mistake on derivates which to me, is important. Now if he decided to release the statement to backpeddal, then I would think less of him. However, I very much doubt that he even cares whether they release that statement. He got to speak the truth and at the same time, he's protected from criticism.

  • @Stingerbillion I agree with you on Bill and Alan. It's a shame that Grayson may lose his seat come November. He's one of the few people in Congress that I respect.

  • @mlrockrules Really? Oh man, that's not fair. Alan is awesome and is very vocal regarding republican morons.

  • @xxFortunadoxx Well said, to bad we can't write him in again.

  • Wow, only one person had thumbs downed this video... awesome. TYT rocks...

  • When I saw the title I thought: "Which time?"

  • Its refreshing to see a Politician admit he was wrong once in a while. As long as a politician addresses the problem, and admits his wrong doing, we're on the path to save our democracy.

  • @LazySocialist Agreed. =)

  • @LazySocialist Bill Clinton is Rockefellers nephew, somehow I doubt that anything this man says is sincere.

  • @LazySocialist Unfortunately, admitting you're wrong long after you've lost the power to change your mistake is more or less useless.

  • @LazySocialist You mean the path to save our Republic. Bill like so many before and aft is corrupt.

  • @LazySocialist You'd be apologizing too if the trail lead back to your administration.

  • @LazySocialist Of course he has only admitted it after his political career is over... at least from the point of view of needing to win over voters.

  • I always liked Clinton. I thought he was a pretty cool dude.

  • that's messed up, how they walked the statement back. What bs! Everyone knows that the derivatives caused the collapse. Who do they think they're fooling?

  • Look, I'm sorry: I know that Democrats love the Clintons, but Mr. & Mrs. Clinton are monsters. It's sad to see people on the left taking their side simply because they're on the opposite side of the aisle from the Republicans.

  • @ExaltedLeader I'm more Republican than anything and I love Bill. Hillary on the other hand is too terrifying to let take office. It has nothing to do with the aisle and everything to do with stances, charisma, and getting shit done. :)

  • @Tigersmind87 Take a look at what Mr. Clinton had done in Sudan, and tell me how wonderful he is about 'getting shit done'.

  • @ExaltedLeader They got closer to getin Osama then we have since.

  • a little late Bill, and why the hell are Obama's economic advisers all part of the Rubin cult? change why can believe in my ass, these people have the same mentality that helped to bring about the crash, yet this guy sticks to Geitner like Bush stuck to Rumsfeld

  • Clinton is a class act and great humanitarian! Bush would never be so humble and admit he made a mistake.

  • Clinton has nothing to be sorry for.

  • @tehant1liberal ur an idiot. disgraced God haha.

    the economy collapsed because of George Bush you fkn retard.

  • @clicknspark It's more due to a trend selling out the future for profit now in economic policies I've traced back to starting with Nixon and Kaiser Permanente, but yeah, the "God" judgement (thou shalt not what?) and data posited by @tehant1liberal is very Not-Founded-in-Reality/Bachman­/Beck/Faux News/Tea Party/Palinesque.

  • @tehant1liberal Dude the country was already in deep trouble when Obama took over not sure Obama is helping much either but blaming Obama for this collapse is like blaming him for the Cold war

  • @tehant1liberal You are such an idiot.

  • @tehant1liberal Stalinesque taxes? Do you even KNOW what Stalin's tax policies were?

    Small businesses are being bankrupted by the economic meltdown.

  • bunch of fuking power corrupt dick sucking faggots...

  • conflated is not a word.

    it is a type of cereal and it tastes like crap

  • Now ask Clinton about the unbalanced trade with China that he enacted that results is $300 billion worth of imports from China, but only $3 billion in exports! How many middle class American jobs would $297 billion support?

    I do commend his honesty, we could use more of that!
