  • Too bad members of Congress are already tossing around the idea of removing those "automatic triggers". Fortunately the Speaker, President, and Senate majority leader have all said they will shut down any attempts to do so. Regardless, this is just another example of Congress not willing to compromise. Our very nation is built on compromise, and words can't describe how bad this Congress has gotten.

    If someone's an incumbent, vote 'em out. Show Congress we mean business.

  • echo is baaaaad

  • gotta fix the audio.

  • I'm glad to see the committee failing seeing as we already have one- the Senate.

    I guess they liked committees so much they put another committee in their committee so that they can vote in a committee while voting in a committee.

  • Someone needs to start mass marketing billboards that read: "The rich won't create jobs if the middle class has no money to spend on their businesses."

  • Yah, this is good news, but I won't believe it until they make the DEEP cuts in Military spending promised by default. No doubt Obama will wimp out on the threat.

  • I'm wondering if we will get to the next election....

  • @13lackLight Ha. Times like this I think those 2012 end-of-the-world theories make complete sense.

  • @randomperson300145 Ya. It would be a helluva coincidence. This debt crisis truly has the potential to own the global economy if it unravels badly. IMO the US is lucky that all the negative headlines are focused on the EU. However, if the US does not sort its shit out, then its next in line.

  • Young Turks techies, please figure out how to deal with the echo, and the lighting is far too bright on Cenk's right side.

  • the echo is annoying a hell! I dun like the "look" either. How did that closet look swankier than this? you sound like your down a well and I fell like the lens needs to be cleaned. I'm sure it will be worked out.

  • yyyeah, but the republicans are not going to leave things as they are. they will "come around". nothing to be excited about, cenk.

  • Cenk.. you scary. :p

  • Is Cenk talking to us from another dimension?

  • I didn't spend time to understand what he said. But I trusted what he said anyway! I hope I did the right thing...anyone who actually responds should say no. the right answer is to research then act. I researched so many Cenk posts that I am trusting he is not too awful dangerous.

  • Cenk I will rescue you from that evil realm!

  • lol the best job our government can do is "nothing"

  • I guess next we will have a super duper committee

  • Reading the comments below me remind me why we are in this mess to begin with. Stupid uneducated people who {bless their hearts} really shouldn't even vote. All thanks to our failing education system, I guess. If you have nothing intelligent to say directly regarding this video please refrain from commenting.

  • People need to shut the fuck up and stop complaining about the echo. The video was made, it was uploaded, NOTHING CAN BE DONE!

    Fucking pansies.

  • @Stingerbillion hey dumbfuck, we're not asking them to get rid of the echo in this video, why the fuck would we want that? we've already seen this video, we're not gonna watch it again. We're asking them to do something in their new studio to limit the echo. troll

  • The average current senior citizen paid about 150k into Medicare over the course of their careers. The average current senior citizen receives about 450k in Medicare benefits. The difference is debt-financed and the cost will be born by the future generations long after seniors have cashed in on this scheme.

    It is immoral.

  • "Super Committee" Dam You Lex Luthor "Shakes First"....!

  • fix the sound

  • Invest on acoustics. If you're low on funds, use old mattresses.

  • @blechtic Ann Coulter will not be available.

  • @papersplease Yeah, didn't mean the squeaky kind.

  • Excellent news! An ill-conceived, illegal committee proves itself to be inept! Wonderful!

  • echo to much team!!!!

  • we had a super committee?

  • The Dems thought they were going in to negotiate a deal. But a deal is when both sides give something--it's not a deal if only one side is giving up on something, it's a surrender. The D's should not have been surprised to find the R's were just there to demand the D's surrender. The R's want to bridge the gap solely through budget cuts. This was to be the culmination of their effort to destroy the remnants of the New Deal and the Great Society. But fortunately, the D's are not surrendering.

  • I had a nice phantasy..

    the dems took the money, and faked it... now we have some hope.

    too bad it's only a phantasy

  • Wow, people who freaking hate each-other with all of the emotion of Brian Blessed on meth couldn't come to an agreement... That's the most shocking thing I've heard since I learned that water was wet.

  • Yeah, the reverb it totally annoying.

  • I really like the brick actually. I like the warm color.

  • Just be happy they are macking it on tv now, quality will get better when more people watch

  • @Stevie68000 yeah yeah yeah jew jew jew. You're starting to become a broken record.

  • I like your old place better. But, since the new place is probably here to stay, at LEAST get rid of the echo.

  • Anyone who wants to shift wealth from the middle class to the super-rich should not be called "super." "Sub" might be better.

  • Lots of people are bitching about this Committee. Yes they're idiots, they should all be kicked out and so on. However, excluding one who's retiring, the other 11 will all be re-elected.

    Why? Because they're rich and powerful. They have connections Inside the Beltway. They're loyal to their party. This means that the national party will donate to their re-election campaign. And people will vote for them because they're the "lesser of two evils".

  • @whereismybailouttv Why are people cowed into this bullshit? Vote for an independent then...ANYTHING but the establishment candidates. If everyone did this, things would change dramatically...hopefully for good :-P

  • @1995Nekfeu I thought that was the problem. You lost me with your other comment, by the way.

  • are you doing the show from the bsaement now? you need to cover the walls with drapes.. ECHO ECHO ECHO

  • Couldn't agree more. Kudos Cenk.

    By the way, Samsung makes one hell of a fine television, along with all the other fine products the good folks at Samsung make. When talking about things being awesome, I refer to them as "Samsung-y". Sansung: Don't make internet political commentary without it.

  • Republicans signed a pledge to Norquist not to raise taxes. Otherwise they are threatened to be unseated in congress.

  • Whats up with the hardcore brick background?

    no.....

  • I hate the echo....

  • GUYS: Chill out with the fucking echo comments. Pretty sure they know about it and will be fixing it. They're not done working on the studio yet. Stop criticizing change before you even give it a chance. Bunch of crybabies, I swear.

  • @Eseress /??

  • @Eseress youtube only works if we repeat the same thing over and over.

  • What's with the stupid artificially made echo in the sound....?

  • I really like TYT but I wish that Cenk would've said something about Obama standing up to the Republicans in Congress by stating that he would veto the automatic spending cuts --- most of which is needless defense spending --- that Republicans want to undo (which was a statement he made at a press conference after a deal wasn't made). I think President Obama has caved-in to Republicans on alot of issues, but he's done some decent things that don't get recognized too often on this program.

  • @tbee20101 Obama has caved in so much, he's no longer a Democrat. I'm sure you're so gullible though that you'll point out a few instances of Obama being tough recently. The sad part is he wasn't tough before election year and that's all that counts with us. We don't give a crap about what Obama says to get reelected now. He's a disgrace of a politician.

  • @shadowedge69 Completely agree. It's like he's not even trying. It's like he's a complete corporate robot. I mean, he's so intelligent, can he not see that he's creating an appauling hypocritical image of himself right before his election? I think that the powers that be are trying to get Cain into the Republican nomination, so people will re-elect Obama based upon the fact that he's running against a total idiot.

  • @shadowedge69 Indeed. We need a strong president. A president that will resist abusing his power. A president that will not cave in to pressure. We need Ron Paul.

    Ron Paul 2012

  • yay

  • But who is going to pay for this

  • @Got2takeAshit Don't worry, we will just print more money, everything will be fine

  • These fucking Republicans have cost me thousands in stock market losses with their drama, I hope it's over for a while.

  • Between 2001 and 2010, the Bush tax cuts added $2.6 trillion to the public debt, 50 percent of the total debt accrued during that time. Over the past 10 years, the country has spent more than $400 billion just servicing the debt created by the cuts. Far from paying for themselves with increased economic activity as promised, the tax cuts have depleted the public treasury. Tax collections have plunged to their lowest share of the economy in 60 years.

  • @Twostones00 Why didn't President Obama along with the Super Majorites in the House and Senate in 2009 and 2010 get rid of the Bush tax cuts ?

  • @MrSpencerport There was not a supermajority in the senate in those years. In fact tax cuts were made during those years because nothing was going to pass the republican senate. The republicans in the senate held the country hostage during those years demanding more tax cuts for unemployment benifits and programs for the poor such as SCHIP. 60 votes were required for passage and the democrats did not have the 60 votes. Taxes were cut and the so called job creators once again lied.

  • @Twostones00 We didn't need a supermajority

    The senate could have just ended the silent filibuster and enforced the talking filibuster rule...in other words you have to speak for hours to block something

    Nothing liberal happened because the blue bitch democraps aren't liberal, they're the good cop to the retardlickanuses bad cops

    Nancy Pelosi and Reid aren't liberals, they're right wingers that talk a good game but fold like a house of cards instead of passing anything

  • @MrSpencerport Because he's a trojan horse.

  • Cenk, come back to this realm. That one looks offley eerie.

  • @CHAOSoriginal awfully. Learn english.

  • @CHAOSoriginal I've never seen such a creative way to spell awfully. :D

  • @starliteinfernal Thanks, I hope it catches on. : D

  • Does the super commitie failing count as an epic fail or just a super one?

  • 3 dems and 3 repubs...who didn't see this coming?

  • hope you fix that echo Cenk

  • I actually don't think the Super Committee was even legal. What authority does Congress have to create a new brand of government that has the power to overrule Congress itself. That seem unconstitutional to me.

    This is just another dodge to decimate the economy while keeping their finger prints off the mess.

  • Bwah,hah,hah,hah! Yes, the Republicans suck. I'm a nonpartisan, but I'm leaning towards the Democrats after this debacle. I hope the conservatives stay mired in their own greed long enough for the tax cuts for the wealthy to come to an end. Don't touch our social security and medical benefits--not all of us are rich.

  • there's an echo on his voice

  • yea, i'm all for that sequester

    

  • the new intro is boring 

  • Hey production ppl...u guys sucking on cock? Fix the echo

  • Haha, Cenk called this wrong when he made his prediction. 

  • Good! Any agreement that they would've reached would've been disastrous!

  • It is good that all the terrible GOP demands were not met, and it will be good for the national debt that the Bush tax cuts will expire. However, I wouldn't use Cenk's term "awesome" about this, because now large spending cuts will be automatically triggered, which is just the opposite of what the economy needs in a recession - massive government spending to stimulate the economy.

  • @rjw78741 As long as there's baseline budgeting there will never be a cut in anything. BTW when is Harry Reid going to produce a budget, it has been almost a 1000 days since the Senate has produced a budget.

  • Get rid of the echo.... Really annoying.

  • @Moionfire

    I believe they couldn't do the normal show due to flooding, so those clips are pretty last minute. That's probably why there's an echo.

  • @Moionfire YES!! I despise the echo, the echo MUST go!!!!

  • @Moionfire you;ll survive

  • obama better stick with the plan of lowering the defense budget due to the fail trigget!

  • Hahahaha. empty studio! Still building the set, I assume ;p 

  • This is supposedly called the "Super bullshit committee."

  • All of our taxes will go up on January

  • your an idiot.. now our taxes are going up.. no extension on unemployment.. what school did you graduate from

  • @MrBoy219 you make it sound like it's a bad thing. liberals are for decreases in our bloated military, and increased taxes, in case you didn't notice, that means the deficit goes down...

    what school did /you/ graduate from?

  • These idots are killing my 401k

  • This is excellent news. Reacting to a legislated emergency, is just a silly way to get what you want.

  • Hey guys, the echo is because they havnt installed everything yet.

  • Cenk Uygur is the mighty Zeus! That's why his voice is echoing.

  • I love the new set and graphics.

    However, there is a bit too much echoing.

    TYT FTW.

  • A. I wen't left for basic training for the air force this august, and come back to. wtf has happened to the young turks budget.

    B. what do you mean by bloated defense spending?

  • @brandtaylor93 maybe the fact that you guys spend more on defense than the rest of the world combined? jeez

  • I love your show guys. Thank you. If I may offer my two cents: Change your slogan "The Largest Online New Show in the World" to just simply " The World's Largest Online Show." This just sounds more solid. Thanks again for your work.

  • Way too much echo.

  • The new set is failing... Too much fuking echo!

  • Great show, but I see the bugs still need to be worked out on a few things, like sound. Also, am I supposed to pay attention to Cenk or to the flag graphic on the right?

  • No, it's bad news, Cenk. The OWS street movement needs to hit the accelerator or it will fail - the government trying to screw you over and failing will not do it is nice in the short term, but the american people need to see and feel the painful effect of a corrupt government. I hate to say, but you need to push your country to the brink before it changes, and it has to be now, while there's momentum in the OWS movement.

  • The echo makes it sound radical :P

  • Meanwhile at the Hall of Justice...

  • The play here is obvious:

    Congress passes new bills canceling all of the defense cuts in the trigger and extending the Bush tax cuts. So you're left with 600 billion in cuts to things conservatives don't like anyway.

    Mark the tape.

  • YAY!

  • @jrdudedj U MAD BRO?

  • Ya the new backround is good.Fix the audio .

  • Re:the echo (@YouTubers)

    The set is still being put together, as far as I'm aware. the echo will go away.

  • FIX THE ECHO!!!!

  • Last night TYT did videos on important subjects like this one on the Super Committee failing which is great but all people see to talk about is the echo in the studio Cenk's in. Give it a rest people. There's an echo in the studio Cenk's in because it's empty just liike the heads of the people who keep complaing about the echo.

  • Stop bitching about the echo

  • @TheKingofCrazies stop bitching about me bitching about the echo lawl

  • @Migslayer101 Stop bitching about me bitching about you bitching about the echo super lawl

  • Fucking awesome.

  • Enter the Tea Party to not raise the debt limit for real next time.

  • What about the automatic spending cuts that should eventually go into effect because of this? What's the deal with that?

  • did anyone else notice the echo ;-) ???

  • GOP= Greedy Oblivious People

    Stand for; big business & the wealthy

    Stand against; Medicare/ Medicaid, Social Security, collective bargaining, unions, teachers, firefighters, cops, the middle class, the poor, African Americans, Asians, Hispanics, Europeans, & LGBT community.

    Who's left to vote for them? Oh that's right, racist hicks, misinformed white americans, large corporations, & the wealthy.

    Landslide Obama Victory in 2012

  • yes the damn Echo, keep it the old style

  • & Great Colleges while the rest of Americas kids will continue to fall behind. Remember it's the Republicans that wants to do away with Federal Education Programs.So we can either take our country back from these Republicans and the radical Tea Party, or we can end up in the same shoes as Mexico & most the world.ONLY THE RICH and the rest of us POOR.NO MIDDLE CLASS

  • take away the entitlements that help the less fortunate, take away the Seniors Social Security and Medicare. We always hear about how we are leaving our children and grandchildren this burden of debt..It's the Republicans, because you can't even compromise one inch, so what if our kids are left with this debt burden, they are going to be to stupid to know it because our Education System in this country has hit rock bottom..but you can bet the Repulicans and their kids will go to Private Schools

  • You wonder why Mexicans want to come over here to America where they can work and make money (any work, and most of the work is work we americans don't want to do anyway) It's because over in Mexico in their country there is the RICH and the POOR – NO MIDDLE CLASS and that is what is happening here in AMERICA.The GOP is out to do the same to this country, give every tax break to the Rich and put all the Taxes on the backs of the middle class, give the Rich all the loopholes, take away the entit

  • I agree,how could anyone vote GOP! However, it is getting harder to vote Dem. Both side are run by lobby driven tools- they are nearly all on the take. Even if we vote them out after one term they are loaded with a big pension and benefits. Somehow we need to find and vote honest people that won't steal. By the way Gingrich was paid 37 Million by the Health Care Industry and he leads to GOP race.

  • @1995Nekfeu I'm not GIVING you shit. I'm not your average American, man. Calm down.

    Speak, or can pronounce 3-4 languages? Because I can pronounce 6 (being a singer).

  • Why does anyone vote Republican? Even rich people have to be scratching their heads.

  • Only Republicans can be dumb enough to include tax cuts in a commitee dedicated to reducing the deficit.

  • @Eaglesfaninca not dumb enough, CORRUPT enough, but the democrats were proposing the same at first.

  • @deveousdevil Very sad, but very true.

  • -pops cork- Cheers to doing nothing my friends... -raises glass, then takes a drink.-

  • NOT ENOUGH JR OR BEN MANK!!!

  • They both sound "GREEDY".

  • This super committee has to be a godsend for lobbyists.

    Instead of lobbying all of congress they can hit on the six.

  • We should be calling on them ALL to resign for failure. Time for heads to roll.

  • Good news...as long as Obama doesn't FUCK IT UP again!

  • The great Oz has spoken!

  • There's an upside, but seriously, JUST expiring the tax CUTS isn't going to be enough. There ought to be SOME INCREASES on taxes for the wealthiest as well. Nothing HUGE, but they should be paying a little over 40%. Or at least back to the 39% that it's supposed to be, and find a way to get rid of any money flowing to Blackwater (Xe), Halliburton, and the war profiteers, and perhaps some increases for those that remain taxable (Xe left the US, technically). Our taxes pay for their wars.

  • can you stop the echo im slightly hung over :(

  • And you think the automatic trigger cuts won't cut into social security and healthcare? It's not all great news. The deficit may be reduced but that doesn't mean the economy will become better.

  • I don't understand why the super committee was formed of 6 dems and 6 repubs. It was destined to deadlock. It's nothing more than theatrics. Why didn't they throw in 1 libertarian to offset things? 12 is an even number. 13 can't get deadlocked. But what do I know. I'm just some crazy kid on the internets. :)

  • @99pctconservative because libertarians are still republicans

  • @Xaklyth Perhaps. Just as progressives are still democrats. America is in dire need of a third party. This duopoly we currently have is running our nation straight into the frickin dirt.

  • Love the show, but yeah that echo is annoying. Please fix!

  • @jmblock2 That'll probably fix itself once they get the room filled with more stuff. Empty spaces echo.

  • Why does Cenk sound like the voice of god.

  • The congress next move should be to create the Super Duper Committee. Now thats got to work.

  • This MIGHT be giving the Super-Committee too much credit but what if this was their plan all along? Okay maybe not for all of them but the majority. They deadlock and the cuts get activated plus the rise in tax levels. Everyone gets to blame the other side but the debt gets reduced and asses are covered. Best of all Grover strokes out in apoplexy. Hhmmmmm. Could it be?

  • The echo sucks on the audio.

  • Thank Gawd the Super Screw failed.

  • @genie0390 oh noooo... higher interest rates, like the last time we got downgraded? Oh wait, more people bought our bonds, so that DIDN'T happen.

  • Echo much?

  • Only way getting anything done that will benefit the american ppl is to shut out the republicans from all real politic work in the near future coz they are not interested in saving US, they are only interested in saving themselves.

  • great news indeed! our national debt is passed $15trillion and climbing. Soon it will be near $20trillion and climbing, then $25trillion and climbing, oh boy how great is that?? America's credit rating will be down graded more! WOW, we will get to pay higher interest rates!

    if only we could get to tax the rich, they're a infinite source of monies

    they need to pay their fair share, as defined by Obowma, fair share meaning he gets to come up with new spending proposals, they get to pay for them

  • @genie0390 the debt is there because govt borrows from banks. if govt created it's own money it would have zero debt. e.g. abraham lincoln's greenbacks; greenbacks won the civil war; non debt based fiat currency

  • @BOZ11

    you're a complete and total idiot. You don't have a fuckin clue how Government and the economy functions!

  • @genie0390 if u don't borrow you cannot go into debt. very simple premise and abraham lincoln did it; won the civil war with debt free greenbacks. i haven't seen a single cogent comment from you

  • @BOZ11

    that's because i haven't yet read the book, "arguing with idiots"

    you're uneducated, have no formal training/experience in anything to do with business/economics/finance

    to people with little education, everything seems simple

  • @BOZ11. Don't try arguing with genie0390. He's a child and you'll give yourself a headache arguing with them because all they know how to do when someone tries to be mature by using logic, reason and truth is to respond with lies, racism, fear mongering and insults.

  • @genie0390 - You've been proven wrong so many times. Just shut up.

  • @LeksServices

    I have been proven wrong? by uneducated brain washed progressive idiots?

  • The supercommitee was always going to fail. The Dems would have compromised, the Republicans would have moved the goalposts, and the Democrats would have compromised and the Republicans would have moved the goalposts and on and on, and the Democrats would have never been able to keep up with the goalposts.

  • @1995Nekfeu Read what you wrote out loud: "There is no echo for me, at least in HD".

    Poetry, man...pure poetry ;D
