  • CNN doesn't bring cameras down to report on it because TYT is a non story. Cenk is such a grandstanding loudmouth.

    What an embarrasing clip to watch.

  • i think ana and cenk are kissing from 1:05-1:07, just sayin.

  • Where did they get the picture that they use in the hotspot to come to this link? it sure as hell wasn't from a TYT rally... hahahaha... that is a FOX tactic. I've met with more people at Starbucks than they pulled for their teeny, tiny, protest. hahaha. TYT, use a picture that truly represents the 30 people who showed up.

  • It's really good to see people actually doing something about this.

  • When bush was fuckin up THA country all THA tea party did was sit back & look THA other way .....WHY DIDN'T THEY MARCH TO WASHINGTON & stop president BUSH ??

    Then Obama comes along & it's a big FUCKING DEAL .....now they are marching to WASHINGTON ......why???? Because he's fucking BLACK ...., it as nothing to do with saving AMERICA

    They are sooooo fucking RACIST.

  • doesn't really look like a majority of the american public.

  • Kind of a pathetic turnout, but at least they're doing something I guess (not that it will really make a difference to CNN).

  • What an unAmerican protest. say no to socialism. small govt is the answer.

  • @Tootoon2009 Small like the Bush administration? Bush pushed for HUGE increases in agricultural subsidies, & there was an explosion in pork barrel spending during his presidency. The Medicare drug benefit was the biggest new entitlerment program since LBJ was in office! Then u have the wars, which could have provided every American AND Illegal alien healthcare for the next decade!

    With what bush spent, the interest on the debt he created will cost taxpayers 2 Katrinas worth of money PER YEAR!

  • @BoSoxnation1972 "With what bush spent, the interest on the debt he created will cost taxpayers 2 Katrinas worth of money PER YEAR!" Exactly! and Where were the tea baggers then? Oh yeah they were listening to Cheney telling us "deficits don't matter" They need to STFU now and let the grownups drive.

  • Cenk should get a bullhorn XD.

  • Cenk you are a G! Cenk, Cenk, take their bank! They better start covering this shit or they will need the "public option" soon.

  • liberalism as a whole is an epic fail, case and point

  • @gosuns08 and conservatism is for morons

  • This is what makes me proud.

    There's a lot of ignorant neighbors living downstairs in America (I'm from Canada) but there's a lot of smart people as well!

    American media, SPEAK THE TRUTH!

  • Simple why they don't want to do anything, 'THE GOVERNMENT DON'T GIVE A SHIT!

  • God damnit, I wish I could be there. Even though I'm from Norway and have single payer. I so hope Americans get it too!

  • @TheSaltyAdmiral thanks Norwegian brother

  • End the right bias in the media!

  • I think CNN was too scared to cover this because it was right in front of their own building. It makes them look bad...which they deserve, but that is probably why they didn't cover it. I'm not saying it's a good reason, i'm just saying I think that was their reason.

  • what, i didnt know abouthis. I would have totally been there. I mean its LA, preaching to the quoir but i would have totally been out there with u guys chantting. Next time ill be there for sure!!

  • Obama is just another bullshiter just like all presidents .

    Why is he sensing more troops to Afghanistan?

    To kill more Afghanistan people who are shooting Americans becuase Americaa invaded there fucking country the only reason America wants to stay in Afghanistan to show Russia they can win" to shove it in russia face , America shouldn't do that . Russia could nuke America luke America nukes japan .

  • TYT? Should call them SFA (Starved for Attention)

    And whats up with that dufus @ 6:40 with the blank sheet of cardboard?

  • We have to smart small. I support The Young Turks

  • How pathetic is that? Stage a phony news event, bring your own cameras, nad interview each other. LOFL

  • Your an idiot if you had any idea of what the words your trying to use ment. you'd realise you are using them incorrectly. How the fuck are they racist ?? one is a turk one a black guy a latino and a white chick. and how are you supposed to pay for a $100,000 health bill when u work minimum wage. no your just gonna die.

  • This is cute. A bunch of nutjobs with nothing to do with their time...

    Anyway Obama is awesome he'll take care.

  • Wait till next year tax time. 1/2 of them will be in jail or paying up the ass.

  • Good for TYT for getting their butts of the chair and doing something.

  • @MarquisdeBarrabas well, actually they r doing much more by sitting on butts in fron of camera , but y its nice to see them doing this, because Cenk is right its democracy... if u ever lived in country where protests was restricted u will understand..

  • Uh...I think they need larger signs.

    maybe next time.

  • The public wants you for a public blowjob, too, sweetie!

    You know how to do that, don't you?

  • Thank you Jake!

  • That's cold.

    That one lady walked by and looked at them like they were weird.

    $3 trillion Obama/Pelosi boondoggle that will eventually kill the private insurance industry...causing much higher taxes and unemployment,,,and eventually take away free choice for our health care.

    Yep...nothing like a bunch liberals Obama and Pelosi trying to spend their way out of recession...and saddling our grandchildren and great-grandchildren with crushing debt and taxes for the next 100 years..

  • @amarillotalk

    WRONG! I fully support The Young Turks efforts to rally the liberal troops in support of The Public Option. Note: shortly after TYT national protests, CNN began airing their polls. Congrats on a job well done.

    - the lady

  • i couldnt give a rats ass about those in the medical insurance industry being unemployed. they can then go get honest work like the rest of us instead of being bloodsuckers.

  • 'that will eventually kill the private insurance industry'

    One can only dream...

  • @amarillotalk Killing the insurance industry will cause much higher taxes and unemployment? How exactly? How brainwashed do you have to be to think there will be disaster if insurance company leeches can no longer be the middle men sucking our health care money. They provide NOTHING & they need to go away. And what Free choice? Our HC is hijacked by a few companies who price fix and collude like crazy and have us over a barrel Thank God we finally have leaders who did something about it.

  • I am totatly with the liberals on this public option being enacted.

  • at about 1:05 it looks like ana and cenk are kissing but its just an illusion

  • So what? The young jerks got 13 people to show up at CNN. Is this the same hypocrite that laughs at the Tea Party Protesters for being a fringe group of insignificant people?

  • Obama won. Get over it.

  • cool glasses btw Cenk

  • This was pretty cool. TYT activism FTW!!

  • Main Stream Media sucks the big one. Pretty simple.

  • I think what some viewers are missing is that there are more than one L.A protest with however many people who were able to make it to the physical protest and the number of protesters mean little as what is asked of CNN is to look at the polls and report what the country is really feeling based on those polls. not to report on "omg there are so and so many protesters outside our building!" And yes, TYT is often leftist but they admit their bias/opinions.

  • thank you tyt for doing this

  • CNN needs to be exposed as the biggest Zionist front operation in the world. Faux News is there to give CNN and the other mass media outlets, including MSNBC, credibility. After listening to Glenn Beck, you feel relieved that the other stations are normal, stable, reliable people. When if fact they're all pushing the same Zionist lies and "story line." That story line starts...Muslims are bad, Americans (and Jews) are good. All mass media are Zionist fronts, so beware what they tell you.

  • Let me get this straight, a few people in California mean the entire country wants a public option? Lol amazing. TYT whines and bitches about Fox news which is extremely ironic. Do the the young turks admit they have a strong liberal bias? If not this is hypocrisy in its purest form. By the way, Cenk, America is a constitutional republic and NOT a democracy. I've never seen a pro public option protest that came close to tea party numbers.

  • icecoldbeerr, first of all, a constitutional republic and a democracy are not mutually exclusive...and America is BOTH. Secondly, you might want to view the video again because you didn't seem to get what the protest was about. The protest was not about the teabaggers but against CNN for not giving coverage that is representative and proportional of popular views (ie: if the public option has majority support, which it does, why does it get less coverage than the teabaggers?).

  • I was responding to a comment, not the video when I said that about the protest. I don't know who the tea baggers are, or what a tea bagger is.

  • @trader1963, also I believe there was a Gay Rights protest which outnumbered the Tea Partiers, and that got virtually no coverage.

  • tyt says over and over that they are libs oh and the tea party were payed work events. let me get this you a for giving big buisness more money?

  • What proof do you have to support that? No, I am not for giving big business anything, I was against all the bailouts. I believe in health care reform, but not if it means raising taxes during a recession, cutting 500,000,000,000 dollars from medicare, etc. Health care is in the mess it's in because of the government, so more government intervention doesn't seem like the answer. Medicare has been a complete disaster, and they've been a complete failure with the swine flu vaccine.

  • Least TYT admits to being for the left. FOX claims it's balanced...it is right wing favored.

  • Have you checked the ratings, viewers, etc? Whatever Fox does obviously works. Even during the Fort Hood shooting story they had more than 1.5 million viewers more than CNN which was in second place. I agree some of their programs are biased, just saying. Here, check it out.

    tvbythenumbers . com/2009/11/06/as-the-ft-hood-­news-broke-cnn-was-a-distant-s­econd-in-the-ratings/32865#mor­e-32865

  • Ratings does not always mean truthful or unbiased. I see some left and right wing nuts on radio who will say anything, just for ratings.

  • They also have more viewers. They are all biased, CNN and NBC are no different. Look up media bias during the 2008 elections and read some of the studies on it. I don't trust any of them, if it's something I care about I check the facts myself. My point was, whatever they are doing is working for them, as ppl are flocking to FNC like crazy. They are the cable news powerhouse currently, more viewers, better ratings, and more clout. The whitehouse attacking them backfired in a major way.

  • @icecoldbeerr Cable news is nothing compared to network news anyhow. FNC on it's best day has 3 million viewers. 1% of the population. It's like they're king of the mud puddle! The morons who want their opinions spoon fed to them flock to FNC --which is so far beyond "biased" MSNBC never organized an anti-Bush ralley or contributed to the DNC. There's no comparison.  And the "backfire" only happened in the ramblings of Fox news pundits. Out in reality not so much.

  • people will always enjoy watching the circus more than a meaningful discussion........fox news is nothing but a circus.....nobody takes them seriously....alot of their viewers are hard core liberals just watching them as a joke.......although there are some hard core fox views like you.....and we can do nothing but feel sorry for you.....

  • @icecoldbeerr "Whatever Fox does obviously works. " Yes and Miley Cyrus had the biggest concert attendence ever so what's your point? That she's the best musical performer ever? Fox is a very successful propaganda machine. It lost almost half a billion dollars in it's first 5 years but thanks to the deep pockets of Rupert Murdoch it keeps chugging along.

  • TYT=left, Faux=right but claim to be fair and balanced.

    I would love to see a TYT protest outside of Faux. That would be great. Americans need to protest the teabaggers.

  • hahaa totally! I'm going to make a big effort next time!

  • hahah in the first chant, that bald guy when he said NOW i laughed so hard, it jstu sounded so funny

  • Man! I wish I could be there!

    Go you guys! I'm there in spirit!!!

    I live by Detroit, where am I supposed to protest, in front of all the closed down auto plants. :(

  • damn it, i was just in LA, i missed it!

  • Cool protest people.

  • I bet if Ana did the protest in a bikini. more people would have shown up

  • ok so why is this different than the 9/12 rally? It isn't. It's just TYT being hypocrites about a political show forming a rally

  • The diffrence is, tyt is an oppinion outlet, foxnews clams whole heartedly to be a straight news network, that and the majority actually want what they are protesting for.

  • I don't see a difference. TYT does news reports as well. As for Fox yes, they are opinionated, I personally find their news objective but their commentators and talk forums are not. So to me there is no difference between TYT and Fox/ TYT=Left and Fox=Right

  • See theres nothing wrong with being a Right wing media outlet, or a left wing media outlet, the diffrence is that fox news does not admit to being driven by conservitive ideas, while tyt admits their bias, if you find fox objective fair enough, but

  • this is true

  • what a horrible day to do a protest :-(

  • This is too funny. What a weak bunch of liberal idiots. The title of this video should actually be PROTEST FAIL. Cenk, how much did you pay the homeless man to hold that one sign?

    The reason you didn't see cameras is because you are a nobody.

    BTW, this is not a democracy. It is a representative republic.

    Final score: young turds-50(maybe), Teabaggers - 2,000,000

  • This it's what's called an actual grassroots effort, the tea baggers had Fox news, elected officials, and group of people with money to promote and fund  there protest, that tends to result in more people, so your comparison is a real epic fail.

  • LOL@ PROTEST FAIL! So True!

  • Well that just means there's 2,000,000 retards in america :). Stay classy.

  • LOL!! So True!

  • The guy organises the protest and shows up saying i dont even know what to do.

    Idiot

  • It's called 'grassroots'.

  • great job. fucking cnn

  • YAAAY YAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIY

  • according to what? one poll, versus 7 or so that state way over 54% support it?

    i think the "public option or die" sign means you will die if you don't have a public option, not that the people who dont give you it should die, but it is a stupid sign.

  • Yeah but it is ironic that Cenk would be in a protest where there are signs reading stupid slogans exactly alike to a large majority of signs Cenk was mocking.

  • WOAH LOOK AT THAT AWESOME PROTEST YEAH THAT REALLY REPRESENTS THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE

    That poster actually says public option or die.

    Imagine if a conservative had a sign like that?

    Do you think that Cenk would not criticise it or say it is insighting violence??

    Fuck me, hypocrite

  • Silly humans. When will they realize that their world has passed the critical limit with regards to population, social incoherence, and the power and control hierarchies.

    When you have power and control hierarchies sitting on top of an incoherent mass of people in the billions, there is no social mechanism that can collapse that hierarchy, because societies are INCOHERENT. Because people do not understand the common social purpose. It's every person for him/her self.

  • Pseudo-intellectual babble.

  • Didn't understand it at all, did you kid. He he.

  • Um no i understood it completely. Hence me referring to you as a pseudo-intellectual, something you obviously do not understand.

  • Universal Healthcare for ALL!!!

  • Go forward!

  • Kick some ass, TYT ARMY!

  • Cenk looks soo kickass with those glasses!!

  • Maybe because the shooting at fort whatsitsface is more pressing .. heh.

  • Everyone needs to make their voice heard!!!!!!

    PUBLIC OPTION NOW!!! WE ARE THE MAJORITY!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I see what youre doing here Cenk...attack MSNBC's competitors, and up your chances on getting that hosting slot you've been eyeing.

  • Haha, so true. Imagine the effect when a cnn exec. walks out and sees him chanting with about six people, good chance now.

  • Ah, I wish I was there. It's awesome seeing you guys out of the stupid. Cenk's an awesome public speaker. Super Rebel Status.

  • fucking rebels

  • its hard to watch this bad quality

  • Its coming...2010 elections. Bye bye liberals.

    You had your chance You screwed it up in just one year...wow. Not even Bush was that bad.

  • @calimar28

    so you admit Bush screwed up bad. Besides nobody screwed up, jobs are the last to recover, everyone knows that and with healthcare reform, millions will be saved from bankruptcy.

  • Comment removed

  • Are you kidding me?

    Bush is non existent in the political scene. This is Obama's shit you are in now.

  • Are you high? Last time i checked, economy, job loss, wall st. all went down the drain on Bush's watch. You really expected Obama to fix 8 years worth of damage in one year? Really? one year, especially with healthcare that has defeated many great presidents, that BUSH avoided--COMPLETELY just like Dover air force base. please just shut up and do everyone a favor.

  • Yes, and Obama inhereted it promising a change, promising to stop unemployment at 8%. It is at 10.2% now...

    Yes the crash happened on Bush's watch, but it is Obama's watch now and he should wake up and shoulder some blame for his naivity.

  • It was a great protest, but I'm afraid it was all too civilized to be noticed. The sad truth is that we have reached a point where you can only grab attention by doing something crazy or ridiculous.

  • if you guys who think a public option is the way to go then i hope you enjoy having to pay for mandatory life insurance like as if you are an automobile and if you dont have life insurance you will be fined and or put behind bars.. i really hope you enjoy the increase too, and i really hope you like it when half the doctors in this country quit because they arent making as much money as they used to when there wasent health care reform, so enjoy your slavery america, putting a tax on life, enjoy

  • Damonseecloro you'll think differently when your car gets totaled youll be glad people were forced to pay insurance cupcakes... And when your family is lying in a death bed you'll wish u had a public option son.. Lots of learning to do , so very little time to learn in...

  • mandatory car insurance makes sense, because if you get in a wreck with someone atleast you have insurance to repair those vehicles. But mandatory LIFE insurance does not make sense because i am not damaging anything by just living, what this health care reform bill is going to do is its going to put a tax on living. Because im living right now i will be taxed, obama also supports a carbon tax so the carbon i released i will be taxed for it.. like i said, enjoy your slavery and being poor.

  • Were not looking for life insurance this is health insurance this is you get cancer and have hundreads of thousands of dollars of bills adding up and you cant afford the health care so instead you go untreated and you later die. No different then the mandatory car insurance my friend.. Poor Im not poor im making $250,000 a year doing little. Yes because of morons like you we have to overtax to get back the billions we gave to corporate greed your right its ashame we have morons like u

  • Its also ashame of the War Mongering of the hundreads of billions of dollars spent overseas that we will have to tax to get back. Its also ashame of the money we will have to tax to get our 700 billion dollars back because you morons though it'd be okay lending million dollar homes to people making 50,000 a year , and selling cars for 25,000 with gas at 5 Mpg.. :)

  • Were not saying you must life asshole grab a 9mm and blow your brains out if thats what you want to do. And the HEALTH INSURANCE isnt mandatory in the public option so shut the fuck up thanks! Why do u keep saying Life insurance life insurance is like $9 a month for fucks sake.... Thats like my average monthly bill for milk duds?

  • Mandates are fines or even prison sentences proposed by Pelosie for not having healthcare. How is that not mandatory

  • YOU are damaging the chance of people getting health service that they have paid for with insurance, for which the hospital will bill you and you will simple not pay and go bankrupt.

  • People have died because they didnt have healthcare, not because they wouldve died anyway.

  • Were not talking about 100% uncureable diseases fuck tard they tell you to go home be a vegetable or whatever. Were talking about PEOPLE WHO ARE ABLE TO BE HELPED WITH HEALTH CARE.... No the reason why you parent's and brothers , sisters are no longer with us is because of a word you mentioned "LORD" that sums it up quite well... Remember Cloning? Yeah you can thank your lord extra hard tonight.

  • Haha, that is so true, i cannot believe how ignorant these people are to economic impacts.

  • Whats dude name? Jank? I fucking love his voice. Sexy. He kinda fine too. If he packin below the belt, he got it going on.

  • some army... the majority of Americans are not for the public option. what people dont seem to understand is that its easy to get data that says what you want it to say. in other words just because your sample says one thing, does not mean that thats is an accurate description of the population. what people dont realize is that big government is the original problem we have, trying to put out a fire with gasoline is not going to solve it. ill vote for a public economics course option before this

  • It's true that poll's are just a sample and do not represent the truth. If we want to find out how Americans really think about the public option we should hold a national referendum. However, polls can show certain trends and the sheer number of polls showing a large majority in favor of the PO signals that most people probably want it.

  • no government takeover

  • No to GOP death panels for the poor for their monetary gain!

  • theres no on e there .. lol

  • Go TYT! Keep the fight going for the public option! Truth to power, CNN!

  • Truth to power. Jesus christ that is exactly what they are doing. Read the latest fucking poles you idiot.

  • Ah, the power of the Internet, where even the enlightened and the foul mouthed can all have their day. Take care now! Go TYT! Show CNN how it's done...:)

  • Agent Orange contains varying amounts of dioxin, White Phosphorus, force vaccinations that are killing people around the world, WE CAN NOT TRUST OUR GOV. WITH UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, THEY ARE ENCHOOTS WITH THE ROTHSCHILD WHO ARE CONTROL BY THE DEVIL, THEY WANT 500 MILLION SLAVES ONLY, NWO TO CHIP EVERYONE, ONE WORLD RELIGION, ONE WORLD MILITARY, ONE WORLD CURRENCY, BANK HOLIDAY WILL COME, FEMA CAMPS, THEY WANT OUR GUNS! ARTICLE ONE SECTION 8 DOES NOT ALLOW THE GOV. TO RUN OUR HEALTH CARE.

  • I agree with you CENK!!!!!!!

  • WOW... Do you even know what your saying? do YOU even know what the public option does? and you're gonna call people who want the public option unintelligent?

  • lol.. i would go if i could drive already.. Man! Some people r really ignorant

  • When those crazy Sarah Palin supporters were bashing Letterman, they got national coverage, and they were less than 50, hell there were prolly just 20 of em.

  • Only 30 people showed up? no i saw millions. What do you thing those polls represents? MILLIONS of Americans that want the public option. JUST because they aren't there doesn't mean they don't want it. and really your getting so desperate that you have to make fun of the signs they make? unlike certain other people they don't pay other people to make their signs.

  • you realize the public option isn't free?

    fail.

  • do another protest...i enjoyed watching this. protests are really so powerful. and i wish i could be there...if i didn't live 5 hours away.

    TYT rocks !!!

  • Oh yeah but when republicans do it. Oh they are insighting violence, run away and hide.

  • haha look at these guys. "Public Option Now"? You guys should have been chanting "Single Payer Medicare for All!"

  • I wish the liberal media was real.

  • It is.

  • CNN wouldn't even send a proper camera (minus some guy standing in the corner) to any of the three protests. CNN sucks ass and doesn't represent the people, or represent anything but corporate driven bollocks.

    As Cenk said, it isn't the number of people that went to the protest because the fact is...they represent the majority of Americans. Just look at the polls.

    So the teabaggers are organized and funded, but they represent the minority. That's just a fact.

  • Wait, who was it that destroyed our economy in the first place again?

  • Criminal penalties

    Prosecution is authorized under the Code for a variety of offenses. Depending on the level of the noncompliance, the following penalties could apply to an individual:

    • Section 7203 misdemeanor willful failure to pay is punishable by a fine of up to $25,000 and/or imprisonment of up to one year.

    • Section 7201 felony willful evasion is punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment of up to five years. [page 3]

  • 12 people show up 4 this protest! LOL!!!!

  • Did they teach you how to count in kindergarten?

  • OK so I may be off by 5 or 10 but my point is this is a JOKE! LOL!! Fucking LibTard!!

  • I just uploaded my video of the TYT Public Option protest. Sorry it took so long.

    watch?v=Wq7ZBygIgAY

  • danm i wanted to go there too far where i live do

  • CNN has lost its grounds!!! MSNBC all the way!!!
