  • just saw it here bit.ly\wfJuPv

  • I love TYT.

  • Rip the audio from this track at soundnabber doht cohm.

  • Any economics based on or that allows for usury will usually fail.

  • how about that woman bathing heself on the nyc subway?

  • more importantly who invented the internet???

    not norway

  • Wow you are right since 2000 we have been surpassed, most notibly by Hong Kong and Japan. I wonder how much of that is diet and climate, and how much of it is medical care.

    Still the United States ranks 38'th according to the study you cited, meaning we are doing much better.

  • Hmmm it can not be climate and diet because Sweden is doing better than we are, I am truly at a loss to explain that one.

  • In Norway, we have around 2% unemployment, we have one of the highest average wages in the world, we have the second highest GDP in the world, we have the highest life expectancy in the world, we have the highest public health in the world, we have one of the highest levels of public happiness in the world, we have the lowest rate of violent crime in the world, we have a very high amount of personal freedom, we have a very low rate of homelessness, and we have a very high standard of living.

  • So apparently we are doing something right. We have Public Health Care and we have a strong social safety net and yet we still have high personal freedom and we have a good and strong economy.

  • TYT, You should have seen my jaw drop in the first part. NOT funny

    keep 'em coming :)

    When Sweden's bank crashed some years ago they socialized it, regulated, & re-floated at a massive PROFIT.

    In the last crash. Sweden's bank was one of the few in the world not to take a dent.

    The republicans Screamed! this down remember.

    Govt would have regulated.

    The money could have come back.

    Time and again republicans push the USA into the 3rd world.

    Irrelevant except to a few country folk 'expert' idiots.

  • I'm so ashamed of my states Representatives. Fucking Texas.

  • Tennessee is looking pretty good right now. It's become a swing state and it's got a pretty good economy, great property taxes, great real estate market, and it's got good health care thanks to TennCare.

  • Well Pat at least you will have EARNED your noose with you actions as opposed to getting hung because of the way your beloved God created you.

  • RIP Lex. You were a great guy.

  • If you are a wealthy conservative, you are an opportunist. If you are a middle-class conservative, you have allowed yourself to be deceived. If you are poor conservative, you have been made to be afraid.

  • ...and if you're a liberal, you're just a complete naive dumbass.

  • You understand what the word naive means yes? I am curious as to how you defend that position when most objective studies would suggest otherwise.

  • defend it? Are you being serious? You just defended it for me by saying the studies were OBJECTIVE. In an ideal world liberalism is a great, wonderful idea. But we don't live an ideal world, and sometimes you have to brush away the pixies and fairies and realize half of the shit they believe in is not feasible. That is all. Have a nice day.

  • Who told you liberalism requires an ideal world? It works fine here. Seriously, you need to travel a little I think.

  • LMAO. Yes, I am an inbred hick that has never been out of the country. You live in Norway, so of course, you are a major advocate of socialism. I have been to many parts of Europe, and frankly I don't want America to be like that. I want us to continue to reward initiative in the marketplace and hard work. Spreading the wealth to lazy asses is brilliant logic, and really a great way to get our economy rolling again. You think healthcare should be for non-profit?

  • Of course it should be for non profit. Rewarding hardwork is fine, and we do that here, but some things are more important than profit. Health, education, sanitation, law enforcement etc.

    But the great thing is, it works, and it works well. Maybe its not for you, and perhaps you are blissfully happy with your economic / social situation right now. But please stop claiming the rest of the world is failing when it quite obviously is not. Its just ridiculous.

  • Apparently we're doing something right because we outcompete the United States in virtually every domestic area.

  • wow. Another example, you believe the government should pay those in the medical field instead of the patients. I mean, honestly. You may think since it works well in Europe's booming economy it won't shy away any prospective doctors. I mean, no doctors here already refuse patients with Medicaid. That doesn't exist at all. I am a student in medical school, and frankly the ideology you have right now of what should happen in a country thousands of miles away, makes me sick. Have a nice day.

  • In the beginning I was like, what? I thought Cenk got brainwashed by the alien robot nazi reptiles or something, lol.

  • i have been saying this for years !!! " THAT THE CONSERVATIVES ARE THE BIGGEST HIPPOCRITS AND LIERS !!!" Pat Robertson is the biggest hippocrit there is. i have never in my life have never heard a man of god talking about killing someone, sticking up for racist murderders and forgetting the poor. i can prove he's a hipocrit.'HE WHO GIVES TO THE POOR WILL NOT WANT,BUT HE WHO HIDES HIS EYES[FROM THEIR WANT] WILL HAVE MANY A CURSE,"PROVERBS 28:27. the republicans want to know why they are cursed?

  • til the sun comes up, til the sun comes up.. take me home. hit it and quit it, thats what all guys like right?

  • ""I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period."

    Pat Robertson

    The Jewish and the Protestant Fundamentalists really despise and fear women.

    They are worse than Muslims.

  • em he hired them because he's owned by them.. next campaign bought and sold already for him he just following the paper trail

  • So many people don't know that the Founding Fathers were Deist and not Christian

  • But but but, i'm a christian. Weren't they thinking about me? Didn't they mean for the second amendment to mean i could carry my guns to go see the president?

  • A whole lot of truth once again. Way to go Turks! I agree that George Soros is on to something.

  • A magical mix of racist and stupid. Will the GOP base ever get a clue? Its like Master Blaster from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Karl Rove is "Master" and the GOP voters are the retarded muscle "Blaster". They combine to make a formidable monster.

  • This proves the concept of "News Actors". Well done Cenk, well done.

  • Wow It got me scared there.

    I was wondring if was on the wrong channel? Is this April fool?

    is this a parody?

    did cent go back to his old roots?

  • What is humorous is that even if you buy the idea that Fox "balances" out a "liberal" bias in other stations, then it does not logically follow that Fox News' reporting itself is "fair and balanced." The argument is that Fox is justified for being conservative. It really is a business plan based on a missing niche in the market, i.e. real journalists and real facts don't seem to support conservative or Republican policies. Makes sense, b/c conservatism = based on the past and not on reality.

  • Oh rite....hehe...got it...!!! :-D

  • Holy Crapin Crap...!!!! wht the hell happened 2 Cenk....this is like a nightmare....its not 1st of April is it. Dude Cenk...WTF man...?!?!?!

  • its a joke dude! you have to watch the whole thing wait until about 6:00 he explains.

  • After years of praying to Jesus to destroy Cenk's free will and turn him into a conservative neo con, God has finally delivered! Oh praise the sweet, sweet, sugary sweet, loving, perfect, delicious, delectable, hot candy sweet name of Jesus! Oh glory to God high above capital hill! And bless Ann Coulter and Glen Beck while I'm at it.

  • Cenk you clean up nice don't you? LOL

  • i can't believe that cenk uyger have said that about Dick Durban. i have now lost all the respect that i have for cenk. i will never look at THE YOUNG TURKS again !!! i guess that tie have really made him out of an asshole !!! mr. durbin was trying to help people through this horrorible time in this economy that was no one fault but the " REPUBLICANS !!! "

  • It was a Halloween joke. He was playing the role of a conservative talk show host. You have to watch the whole video. He explains it at 6:03.

  • hey RamadiTv thank you very much for telling me that i am very happy you have told me that !!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!! i was thinking that Cenk was turning into an asshole republican. thank you and i will still watch THE Y0UNG TURKS !!!

  • As soon as I saw the tie I sat back ready to get a laugh from Cenk. I wasn't disappointed.

  • wants to find a man who will share a good time with me

  • Stfu spammer

  • Joe Lieberman is such a hypocrite.

  • so this show is republican right?

  • HILARIOUS costume! I knew something was up when I saw the tie, it's so not you.

    As far as the people bitching about the hate crimes bill - fuck you.

    What it does it makes crimes get punished EQUALLY! In a lot of rural places in the country, when a gay/trans person is killed, the local courts give the murderer some stupid 30 day punishment. This allows the federal courts to bring it to court instead, so justice can be served. When we die, no one cares in most small towns.

  • The jurisdictional aspect is a valid argument.

    Might be interesting to prosecute the locals for conspiracy as well--confiscate the whole town, for example, and all its churches and synagogues..

    That would make them sit up and pay attention.

  • this guy agrees with glenn beck and rush limbaugh more than he knows

  • prosecuting hate crimes is a hate crime.

    if you kick someones ass its assault, if you kill someone its murder, regardless of race/religion/sexual orientation. increase the punishment for normal crimes instead of placing these people in a special category.

  • WTF???

    I thought Cenk was a liberal....

  • Cenk is such a butthead.

    His costume sucks :|

  • oh my god at first im liek wtf, he seems very?!?!?! different, no way this is true. im confused

  • 14% thinks fox news is liberal?

    Is this an attempt at humor by the people in the poll?

  • I wouldn't think so, there really are people that think the conservatives aren't conservative enough.

    My father didn't like bush because he wasn't conservative enough. I don't think he really cares either way about social issues like gay rights though. He's not against social liberties, he just doesn't care.

  • it does seem like something i would do, just giving the most bullshit answer because the question itself is insulting on its face.

  • @CognosSquare These 14% are fundamentalist Christians and would find anything liberal. Think WBC.

  • Here's the issue with hate crimes, in the heat of the moment one can say anything. If we were to get into a fight i may call you a nasty Turk, that doesn't mean i hateTurks, it's just that in the heat of the moment one can say anything.

  • In that case, you're an idiot for getting into a fight. Why the hell is "the heat of the moment" an excuse? Do you know how many MURDERS are committed "in the heat of the moment?"

  • Love the show, love Cenk (in a totally non gay fashion) but please, please: next time you give us poll results, give us the numbers and the facts: how many ppl. did they ask and who did they ask. Otherwise I'll stick with Churchill's opinion about polls.

  • this episode went fast.

  • Voila--the rhetoric of youtube comments.

    QED

    Bon appetit, mes enfants.

  • Soros raped Hungary too, not once.. Recently he single handedly fucked up the biggest bank, OTP, the country nearly collapsed. He is a cunning "world citizen" jew, thats all.

  • Soros is quite intelligent.

    His market and economic analysis is fairly garbed but then why should he give his secret away?

  • "well motivated bad liberalism."

    What phrasing, what subtilty, what ambiguity!

  • 500 character limit? Should I write a book 500 characters at a time, like ...? Mopsisus should consider becoming a Republican. His mind is well suited for that party. I'm *sure* * I'm* going to ignore him after this. We can hope we won't have to scroll through 100 Googled quotes and references posted for no other reason than to seek attention. BTW, how am I supposed to know what he means when he doesn't know what he means? Yeah, he'd make on heck of a tea bagger.

  • Mussolini: If the train doesn't get there on time turn back the station clock. (quasi)

  • The rhetoric of comments on youtube.

  • Re hate crimes:

    Conservatives have lost the ability to talk well. The time honored value is speaking on moral issues--in particular, here, to say being gay is wrong. What Robertson is trying to say is that the statute is a step toward crimes of opinion--and even thought crime. It is also a step toward establishing a class or classes of persons who are more equal under law. Also, while the statute may be neutral, its enforcement most probably won't be. IMO, it is well motivated bad liberalism.

  • Socialism, Communism, Anarchism not thought crimes?

  • Apparently Robertson had a whole liftetime to comment on persons less equal under law and never took advantage of the opportunity.

  • Guess he just couldn't find the right words.

  • Now, if all but class X are less equal under the law, does it follow that class X is more equal under the law?

    As in, say, "free, white, and 21?"

    What say you, newgoddamnedaccount?

  • I say you should read my comment. I say you should think. I think you talk far too much. Spam and eggs.... spam and toast ... spam ...

    What say you, mopsipuss?

  • Poor thing, newgoddmanedaccount.

    One did read your comment--can't you tell?

    Actually you can tell all too well.

  • Mao chainsmoked.

    He hated indoor toilets.

    Swimming twenty-five miles downstream is not as robust as it sounds to an American suburbanite.

  • Mao was a poet and writer.

    Chiang was an orator.

    In Chinese the orator loses.

  • The Rhetoric of the Rant.

  • Hey guys, subscribe to my show, The Third Hour. A progressive talk show similar to The Young Turks

  • The irony is that the young anarchists are quite well organized indeed.

  • "Then revisit how to approach the current populace with socialism."

    Ah, the "current populace", hahaha.

    Trick them right, hahaha. They are way ahead of you, buddy.

  • Trick them? Again you assume too much. Not the sign of an intellectual mopsius.

  • Your comments suggest that.

  • After all one does not want the terrible, terrifying Right Wing to think there is SOCIALISM afoot in the good old US of A. HAHAHAHA.

    Anyway you invite questions, then don't answer.

  • Or anarchism or nihilism or communism, hahaha.

  • wow, he wsa joking, never mind

  • Happy Halloween.

    In Turkey it is the equivalent of April Fools.

  • wow, so cenk is now against unemployment benifits and is siding with the republicans on this? wow, he just wants to make a point to oppose obama and the democrats. Unemploment benifits is what helps control unemployment, especially in a recession! For goodness sake cenk. Why not just say America was a nanny state under fdr then. Gosh, hes just gettin so pissy cause his utopic view of the democrats and obama isnt coming true. I mean for goodness sake, wake up and stop winning yourself

  • Bush and Cheney and the Right just fucked the generation from 14 to 25.

  • And the last thing I want to hear from Obama is: "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country."

    Volunteering and a thousand points of light also don't play in Peoria.

  • Lol. I LOVE how Cenk is doing his Bill O'Reilly impression in the beginning of the show.

  • CENK = DOUCHE

  • January 2002 oil = $19 per barrel

    August 2008 oil = $147 per barrel

  • "On another front, Chavez has used Citgo to subsidize heating oil for America's disadvantaged communities. For America's President, who wears his oil bona fides like a badge of honor, Citgo's policies have been a serious black eye...."

    Green Daily

  • Over the past few months, with Obama on his way in and gasoline prices on the way down, Chavez has been faced with a difficult problem. After all, while Citgo's heating oil subsidies highlight America's economic inequities and, not coincidentally, help 200,000 households in 23 states, they are also really expensive.

    ibid

  • Moreover, with revenues decreasing, Chavez's citizens could probably use the cash.

    Early this week, Citgo suspended the program; however, by Wednesday, they had reinstated it, allegedly at the behest of President Chavez. While the political impact of Venezuela's foreign aid is certainly painful to many American politicians, there is no question that it provides vital help to some of the country's neediest citizens.

    ibid

  • That nasty, plotting, Machiavellian Communist Socialist Red Hugo Chavez!

  • Do you really believe this shit--no American oil company, with executives making $14 million a year would raise a finger for poor people in the US, but Chavez is subsidizing them getting through the fucking winter.

  • Like the fucking banks and the for profit health insurers--I am sure the US privately owned oil companies are just highly concerned about the moral hazard of poor people NOT freezing in the winter.

  • Speak up, Barack baby--say something nice about the Right again.

  • "easymike"-- something about that reads Blarney. --- mopsius.

    It is my military call sign based on my initials E.M.

    Keep on ASSuming mopsius.

    ... Or you may benefit from a question or two.

  • Oooo a soldier---oooo. Shivers ooo.

  • So did you land at Normandie, EM or are you more the PFC Wintergreen type?

  • Okay, EM, here's a question for you--how come all those fuckiing hardhat unionists in the 60's were fucking anti-anti-war Fascists of the first water?

  • Okay, here another question for you EM--who first proposed student loans? And how did they contribute to the real estate collapse? Most important, what is their real function in the debt-credit Financial Capitalist context?

  • Hey, hey LBJ how many kids did you kill today.

  • You need help with the answer, EM? Here's hint--who were the two groups set against one another at Tiananmen?

  • What fucking people think that Fox is Liberal? Where is this number made up?

    I don't even think Fox believes that poll.

    ha

  • Supposedly the richest country in the world and Chavez in Venezuela was the only one subsidizing heating oil for poor people in the North last winter?

    Give me a fucking break.

    Communism for the rich, capitalism for the poor.

  • "easymike"--something about that reads Blarney.

  • The US is the only industrialized country without some form of National Health Insurance. That is absurd.

    Oh but be careful, Americans are afraid of SOCIALISM, HAHAHAHAHA.

    easymike is transparent.

  • If the republicans are disappearing.... whats the problem?

  • Pat Robertson makes me sick. He's just a filthy hatemonger wrapped in "religious" trappings.

  • OMG, Cenk has been taken over by the GOP body snatchers!

  • Almost gave me a heart attack, Cenk lol

  • Pat Robertson should really meet Ted Haggard.....oh wait, that's right when you're a televangelist already you aren't gay....you are just human and have "sinned"

  • I'm glad he cleared up the first 7 minutes... I was beginning to think it was the twilight zone. haha... happy haloweeeeeen!

  • i said in my head, jenk why are you wearing a suit lol

  • Nice impression Cenk, I almost bought it. I was getting scared, WTF happened to the young turks?

  • I thought I was having an Acid flashback for a second there with that intro. lol.

  • lol fuck

  • Hey guys, subscribe to my show, The Third Hour. A progressive talk show similar to The Young Turks

  • So many Americans work so hard to get college degrees only to graduate and settle for a job that has nothing to do with their major. (in former comment), I'm not saying ALL people unemployed are lazy

  • When it comes to looking for a job, people have to learn how to move out of their comfort zone. If you cant find a job in your neighborhood/city then go elsewhere. Move out and explore the rest of this beauty country.

  • I have mixed feeling about increases in benefits for people unemployed. Ethically, maybe it is good. However, it may cause some people unemployed to be lazier.

  • Thats a ignorant generalizing. When people don't have money to live normal, have food and anything they usually get sick and psychologically depressed, causing them to have a hard time finding work. The benefits is to make sure that people have a chance to rebound. It benefits the country because it makes sure that more people get jobs. Only a few are the one's who exploit this, and saying that all do is bullshit and just causes more problems.

  • I was super confused for the first minute or so.

  • so is it ok to be a liberal news org

    and not a conservative one?

    we already know its not gonna get you into the NFL

  • This is a talk show not pretending to be a news show like Fox...

  • funny how "fox news is so conservative"

    yet when he starts blaming bush hes gonna leave out that bush wanted regs and why were the banks giving loans to people that couldnt afford the housing in the first place?

  • im confused

  • i really dont understand why cnn fox and other news stations are ripping on each other i dont think either of them are news i get better news from reading the paper or the internet theses news station should give the news not their opinons

  • I was trying to figure out what was different about Cenk today, he looked more sophisticated then usual. Then I realized he was wearing a tie.

  • Your videos should all be long like this. I have unsubscribed because you flood my sub box with 2-3 minute videos. The content is good but id rather watch it as (one) multi story episode.

  • Comment removed

  • Like they're really reading your comment.

  • Its worth a try. I like this show.

  • how does it flood your box. it's tabbed, fool. lol

  • then pay for the 3 hour show and shut up

  • Ok "flowergirl1313"..............­.Are youtube comments the only place you can speak your mind without being told to shut your fucking dogs cunt of a mouth? Sounds like you havnt had a good root for a LONG time aswell. STFU, or comment to somebody who doesnt think your mouth is good for only one thing.

  • Dude she just answered your point, chill out. You can go to the TYT website (look at the more info) and watch the whole 3 hours without interruption, and you don't even have to pay, unless you want the "members only" extra bit at the end.

  • Hey guys, subscribe to my show, The Third Hour. A progressive talk show similar to The Young Turks

  • I'd much rather shoot myself in the foot than having to call Gingrich "Mr. President". Perish the thought!!!

  • someone should call out lieberman STAT!

  • I got it cenk...but it did horrify me so good all hallows eve ..he he

  • oh please let Newt run for 2012 please, and have Pat Buchanan as his running mate, please.

  • a tie?!!?! cenk you didnt! is that your halloween costume as a conservaticve kiss ass? say it aint so lol

  • Great Show !!! Love it !!!!

  • Cenk scared the shit out of me in the first segment.

  • OMG!! I'm from Bakersfield!! He was in my city!!! I'm sorry that guy was such a moron..but Bakersfield is a very Republican City....even the gays and minorities...that's why I had to move...

  • Bakersfield is one of those towns that are red neck California towns that's not talked about too much in TV and movies. like red wood.

  • it seems like fox is trying to act a little more moderate because obama is calling them out

  • I think it's funny that a guy taking the piss out of right-wing "journalists" delivered more news in 30 seconds than they do in their whole career.

  • I agree, the American people deserve a bonus.

  • There are 6 applicants for every 1 available job. Giving privet business a tax break will not magically generate the other 5 positions, or 600% additional available positions. Basic math and simple reasoning leads one to believe that there are a ton of people that simply can not get work, even though they want it, through no fault of their own. Keep in mind that to qualify for unemployment, you have to have had a job, and have been laid off (not fired, or have gone a long time since last job).

  • LOL! It took me a while to get why Cenk was doing this! Evil commentator for Halloween.

    Clever Cenk!

  • So what if people think fox news is fair and balanced? Argument from popularity much, Cenk? Weak segment there. You may have noticed that Americans have short atteniton spans and disappointing intelligence by and large. Especially survey-takers.

  • Actually albermarle19, Liberals or Progressives rarely ever bring up George Soros. Even now it is very much tongue-in-cheek. It is usually some Right wingnut obsessing over George Sorso that usually brings him up, Please explain!

    While you're at it please name a liberal who says that they "like" George Soros. Also what is it that you think he represents that liberals are against?

  • Well why don't you take a look at all the liberal orgs., media outlets, "grass-roots" efforts he sponsors. It surprised me.The guy is a big-time capitalist.

    Ppl that bring up his name and his ties to liberal causes? Right-wing wing-nuts obsessing? Please!

  • I know that he donates to liberal organizations, so what? Are you saying Liberals can't be capitalists? Besides, he is not the primary source of funds in any organization he donates to.

    Yea! wingnuts obsess over Soros. Do Liberals have a pet right wing corporatist donor to obsess over albermarle19?.

    Speaking of grass roots, who contributes more politically MoveOn or the NRA? Where do their funds come from?
