  • Mitch Daniels is the fucking elite one! I am a college student in Indiana and if I got caught with the same amount of pot that he did, I would be fucked in the ass with no lube!

  • Mitch Daniels is the fucking elite one! I am a college student in Indiana and if I got caught with the same amount of pot that he did, I would be fucked in the ass with no lube!

  • Finally someone with a fucking clue

  • I don't understand how they can say union workers are the cause of all the bad in our economy what do the workers have to do with wall street gamblers it doesn't make since at all

  • NEWSFLASH!!!!  American Germans are know to be very conservative. Catholics, even hispanic votes are known to be extremely conservative to the point of bordline extremism. So now, which political party really is likely to hide socialist, Hitler types of motives on state and local levels in government???????????????Newsf­lash

  • @seventhdayfreedom13 "socialist, Hitler types"? Newsflash, because you clearly have no clue what you're talking about, you should know that Hitler hated communists and that the Soviet Union was anathema to Nazi ideology. Oh wait, "ROFLNATIONALSOCIALISM herp derp" is your response. Yeah you're right, I suppose Hitler should have called his party "The Aryan Authoritarian World Domination and Anti-Semitic Party" to be more historically accurate. For fuck sakes man, you're clueless.

  • @tomitstube

    U mean how many (brown) people *do* & still *are* going 2 PRISON 4 doing what he did.

  • so the governor of indiana did acid and smoked pot.

    and how many people will go to jail under his watch for the same thing? 

  • During this whole ordeal, I'm simply fascinated by the amnesia/hypocrisy of the right wing. I get sick to my stomach watching Glenn beck and Faux News showing and condemning signs of Walker being compared to Mubarrak or Hitler. Yet, we saw something VERY similar to that during every tea party rally referring to the President. Hell, both Beck, Stossel, and Hannity covered the rallies for a week on their shows. Now suddenly, union supporters are demonized for letting their voices heard? HYPOCRITES

  • @blkdragon580 They're falling. Pretty badly it seems now. Glenn's lost over a million viewers in a month. Oh, sweet sweet Karma.

  • Further, few of us enjoy qualified immunity regarding what we do on the job or have due process rights regarding our jobs. That's constitutional due process rights--not collective bargining rights.

  • In another case, a principal (an administrator, I admit) spanked an 8 yo student with a purse strap (to an extent his caregiver took him to the ER). A real problem was IL had abolished corporal punishment in public schools ten or so years before. She *was* fired. However, the states attorney chose to charge her with nothing. She may well be busting up kids in some Southern state as I speak.

  • More recently, a coach slapped a student at school. That's aggravated battery (a felony) because it was on public property. It was also a felony called official misconduct. She *was* charged with ag bat. But the jury had a bad day (we'll say) returned verdicts of guilty to both the felony and the misdemeanor. The judge should have vacated the misdemeanor conviction. But he used a goofy construction of the statute to vacate the felony instead, which allowed her to keep teaching.

  • Hell, in grade school a teacher slammed a kid's hand in a desk in front of the whole class. Nothing happened.

  • Come to think of it, by these standards, teachers might well be classed as part of the privileged elite. On another TYT video, I already told the story of how in high school (which was, I admit now a lot of years ago) shoved and slapped a kid in front of many adult and student witnesses and got nothing more than a note in his file. I also was able to overhear him discuss it with another teacher, and he had no regret about the incident at all.

  • 9 elite billionaires watch TYT.....

  • "They blame us for the problems that they created"

    Exactly There is no limit to human greed.....

    I wish there were....

  • elbow from the sky!!

  • Good ole Republican politics....douches

  • "These regular guys are the real elite."

    -Gov. Daniels

  • I love how these Republicans tell the middle class what need and what they cant have. Like for instance good affordable Healthcare, benefits for workers rights and compensation, better schools and education and etc. While they stuff there faces with thes beneftis there telling us you dont want it and you dont need it

  • T-party people have been duped into believing that their own class is against them, and that the rich are untouchable...its horrible.

  • The unions, Big Labor, work with the corporations, Big Business, Big Banksters and Big Government. The true ally of the working man is small business, that's where all the private sector employment comes from. Big Labor supports the Big Government (two wing - repub and dem) and Big Guv is bought by Big Bizz. So the effect of all the Big Labor money is to support Big Bizz (multinationals) which destroy small businesses. So by supporting Big Labor you're destroying the middle class.

  • I would love to see Governor Daniels walk into a General Motors plant and spend a week on the assembly line doing the job of an autoworker. see what he thinks of his elitist label after that stint.

  • if you destroy unions you are destroying the economy of your own community. if you dont believe this go look at any town in which a GM plant has been shut down and ask the locals what it used to be like when that factory was open and those union members were spending their hard earned dollar in the local businesses, supporting their communities. go to Pontiac Michigan and take a tour of that desolate ghetto ghostown after GM shut down the facories there. BTW, keep your car doors locked

  • Actually, that's pretty good for shitty Indiana wages. Oh, and Daniels has no idea what decency is. Now that I think of it, he doesn't know what elite means, obviously. 

  • The people that sacrifices the most benefits the least those people who benefits the most sacrificed the least

  • Google the words WALL STREET WHORES and GOP COMES UP!

  • There are different rules for cops in this country, too.

  • socialism is the ultimate form of evil. these unions should be ashamed of themselves for promoting socialism. disgusting vultures.

  • @lvll138inrs lol, really?

  • I'll tell you elite --

    One guy on Wall Street made $5 Billion last year - more than the combined salaries of all 60,000 Wisconsin teachers combined.

    And he'll pay a lower tax rate than the typical teacher.

    THAT IS WHAT'S SICKENING!

  • @DillonDee1 All while sitting on his ass too!!!

  • Please don't use fake numbers like the republicans do. Union workers pension is 90% of wages. The unions have made US unproductive and bloated. Both sides are buying the government. Paying union members money the country doesn't have and destroying the middle class isn't exactly a solution either. Playing one party vs another is overdone, they are both bought and neither has your best interest at heart.

  • The haves and have nots. Nothing changes in this world and it has been so since the beggining of time.

  • 2 Million Federal Government workers do not have bargaining rights, yet they manage to survive quite nicely. Why do you think that is??? Thank you Jimmy Carter!!!! This is one thing that you did right!!

  • I live Florida and it has been in GOP control since '99 we have one of the lowest tax systems in the U.S, no one here pays State taxes and were a right to work state, according to Florida conservatives that supposed bring in more coorporations to our State, Well guess what!! we rank close to the bottom in Unemployment rate 13% and its not getting any better thanks to that douche Gov.Rick Scott who wants to make more cuts.Wages are so low, that majority of Floridians have between 2 to 3 Jobs.

  • People don't believe there is a class society, but it is VERY much so! 

  • @calimar28

    "libs" are not the only ones "DUPED" by rhetoric of unfullfilled campaing promises, republicans fell victim to it in the past too, TP supporters will be no different... when your candidates grow tired of hiding their billionaire masters agenda, u too will feel ignored and unappreciated aka DUPED

  • You right wing nut jobs are hilarious, were you so patriotic when the Republican congress and President were spending money on whatever they wanted and didn't even attempt to find a way to pay for it.

    Elite

    MOST PUBLIC UNIONS ARE MADE UP OVER 70% VETS BECAUSE THEY ARE HIRED BEFORE ANY ONE ELSE FOR THOSE JOBS

    FUCK REPUBLICUNTS THEY AR COWRDS AND NOT VETS

  • I love Cenk, A fellow Muslim who speaks the TRUTH!

  • @Introspective91 he isn't muslim he was raised muslim but is an agnostic athiest

  • @theaceofspades39 agnostic and atheist are two different things. one believes that "god" does not exist (atheist), the other does not make does not claim to know whether "god" exists or not (agnostic)

  • @greenjeffy no athiesm is simply a lack of belief in deities an agnostic athiest would be someone who doesn't "know" if deities dont exist therefore an agnostic athiest is an athiest who doesn't claim to know there isn't deities

  • @theaceofspades39 from wikipedia: 1. "Atheism, in a broad sense, is the rejection of belief in the existence of deities. In a narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities" 2. "Agnosticism is the view that the truth value of certain claims—especially claims about the existence or non-existence of any deity, but also other religious and metaphysical claims—is unknown or unknowable" they are, in fact, two different positions.

  • @theaceofspades39

    Why does it matter even if he were a Muslim? I don't think anyone's religion matters, the bottom line is that Cenk is one of the few journalists out there with integrity.

  • @TheAdjundantReflex it doesn't matter I was just pointing it out to that other guy

  • @theaceofspades39

    Oh, okay. =)

  • @Introspective91 hes not muslim >.> why does that even matter?

  • @Introspective91 he is agnostic...

  • The divide and conquer show continues... While he latches onto the words he misses the point. Wisconsin public schools are failing. Teachers are well paid and more money has been spent year after year with no increase in student achievement. More money isn't the answer and that's the point. What are the solutions that this guy would propose and other left leaning people? More money, that has already been tried. Time to come up with real solutions and not more of the same failed ideas.

  • @cooperbry how are wisconsin schools failing? aren't they in the top ten?.... its states like texas and arizona that should worry....

  • @Andy180084 With respect, they should all be worried. Perhaps state comparisons are too easy, let's do comparisons by nation and see where any state here stacks up to say Brazil, India, China, Australia, etc. It's the we're right and they're wrong nonsense I object to here.

  • @Andy180084 Why do you think Arizona and Texas have high drop out rates? I'll give you one word: Latino

  • @calimar28 you are a fucking cockbag

  • @JesseQuick23 Another intellegent response from a liberal.

  • @calimar28 Yea i could say the same thing about ny. Our city schools are shit, with twice the population of southern states (many minorities), yet we're still in the teens.

  • Exactly correct. But, can we really expect the obviously indecent to have or show any decency at all? Abraham Lincoln would disown what has become the Republican Party.

  • He's trying to turn the tables with conspiracy theorizing mentality originally directed to him and/or his campaign donors, in which case it wouldn't be much of a conspiracy, but in fact the utmost truth.

  • If Darkseid wants to find the "Anti-Life Equation" all he has to do is look at the modern Republican Party.

  • @A86

    The Anti-Life equation gives him total control over the universe.....

  • @AmericanNohbuddy - I know. And they'd permit it as long as Darkseid is a Teabagger Republican who wants to have Obama executed and union members, liberals, leftists, gays, environmentalists, college-educated intellectuals, non-subservient minorities and women who have abortions put in concentration camps.

  • @A86

    LOL, thats fucked up man! hahaha

  • Cenk, you just nailed it with a bazooka.

  • @TheAdjundantReflex He releases the Kraken daily, with conviction and precision. 

  • He's a fine reporter. Good job.

  • GOP 3=========D, () :

  • RIGHT ON, CENK!!!!

  • no money, no government , no insane prison like control structures like what we have today , a system that meets the needs of everybody one the planet and maintains stability not hindered by asking "can we afford it?" but by simply doing it because it's the right thing to do

    that's what The Venus Project is about , join TZM and let's all work together to save ourselves from ourselves....

    watch?v=4Z9WVZddH9w

  • but yet a businessman earing into the millions is considered a small business to them. If I remember correctly McCain said you're not rich unless you're making over 5 million a year. Maybe they think all democrats are elite? Maybe their definition of elite is educated?

  • but yet a businessman earing into the millions is considered a small business to them

  • O.J. Simpson has the chewbacca defense. Who can compete with that?

  • GOP = GROUP OF PIGS

  • Oh, the middle class are the elite, huh? OK. I guess we should listen to them instead.

  • Mitch Daniels is a doosh ; )

  • $917/Week plus FULL BENEFITS for a teacher that sits on her ass to babysit a study hall seems pretty damn good to me..... or for a Fireman to wash a couple trucks and sleep the day away as he waits on a false alarm call.

  • @JimboVids: Yeah, I bet the compensation for educated professionals sounds pretty good to some loser that wastes his time making lame YouTube videos. If you had a shred of ambition and work ethic, you'd know that the people that educate our children and run into flaming buildings deserve every penny of what they earn.

  • @JimboVids the average teacher earns about $48k/year in my state with a $30k starting salary. that does not seem very privileged for a job that requires a masters degree.

  • @Andy180084

    They only work 9 months out of the year, Sherlock. $48,000 a year to do what a trained monkey could do. "Open your text book to page 86 and read for 40 minites while I take a snooze"

  • Wheres Obamas walkin shoes? He promised in the campaign that he would march with the unions if nessacary. Now he wont even mention the Wisconsin thing! HAHAHAHAHA! You libs were DUPED!

  • well done Cenk .... this is how you should always do the reports on msnbc,

  • Quelle surprise. Megagagnon couldn't provide any support to his assertion that the average total compensation of Milwaukee teachers is $100k, and instead had me google it for him. I found the same stat repeated over and over without a shred of evidence in right wing blogs, but strangely enough, the official records at dpi.state.wi.us seem to disprove this! Huh. I guess a thousand Freepers repeating a lie doesn't constitute proof.

  • Our civil masters, excuse me, servants, do not consider money as the be all of elitism. Example, In my youth a person in an encounter with the police had to be unruly or an overt danger for the handcuffs to come into play. Nowadays, everyone must be shackled as if they were Hannibal Lector for any reason. Four years olds talking back, elderly women with overdue library books or unkempt lawns, have a question about a speeding ticket, taser and leg irons, for you. All in the name of equality.

  • I live in Indiana and I am considered to make a good wage - $16,000 a year. Now I can live on that but those who are out of touch - really out of touch, who don't live here - don't realize that 1,000 a week is beyond good for this area. It's fantastic.

  • A household with two union incomes makes about $95,000 a year.

    That sounds pretty fuckin elite to me.

    Unions are bloodsucking labour cartels.

  • @TorontoLibertarian Most households only have one union member, if any, but I guess you can throw around that stat if you'd like...

  • @TorontoLibertarian Dude...I hope your kidding.. 95k ain't that much buddy

  • President Obama is GREAT !

  • I notice there are 7 duped assholes--their lips super-glued to Ru$h's flaccid cock--that didn't like this video.

  • Thank you Cenk.

  • THIS IS UNREAL...

    I'M DISGUSTED W/ OBAMA (Mubarck Obama)!!!!

    How did we end up in this hell-hole????

    I thought we elected a progressive????

  • This was a really good clip. I don't really recall seeing Cenk so fired up on MSNBC.

  • How you say, pwnage?

  • End the drug war, problem solved.

  • We need a revolution

  • @RFEM520 Indeed!

  • I guess those fucking kids in Compton shouldn't break the fucking law

  • @BorgKing001 neither should the politicians, but they can because they get away with it. kid in compton does not.

  • I wish the union workers WERE the elite in this country, they'd run it a hell of a lot more fairly than the real elites do.

  • @calspock

    Well said.

    However...sadly who is educated enough to believe that? We can show facts and show the truth on what's happening in American. But sadly...people who vote for it anyways are too stupid enough to not think what's right anymore. Either they don't care anymore or they would rather live in fear and do what the big man says.

    This country is a hellhole.

  • WHERE HAVE I HEARD THIS BEFORE? WAIT...!

    watch?v=w3RfsM2sBWQ

  • It is so odd, considering that cops are state workers an have a union, that the governor would cross them and try to slash their pay. Who is going to protect you when all those people whose lives you've trashed come after you?

  • In the past, in certain countries if the audience disapproved of what a politician or senior figure said....They would simply turn around and face the other way, so they had their backs facing the speaker who they disapproved of!

    I think that was a very good & civilised way to embarrass & shun people they didn't like!

    People should attend speeches by people such as gov, Walker, gov, Daniels etc, etc and when they spout their rubbish...EVERYONE SHOULD SIMPLY TURN THEIR BACKS ON THOSE SPEAKERS!

  • At around 2:16 you Cenk talk about "When they purchase our politicians". What about the unions Cenk, do they purchase our politicians? Be honest.

  • @calimar28

    what do you interpurt that to be?

  • You talk about the wall street compensastion in 2010 being 135 billion? Thank Obama the Kenyan for that one.

  • It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son.

    It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no.

    Some folks are born silver spoon in hand

    Lord, don't they help themselves, oh

    But when the taxman comes to the door

    Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes.

    It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no.

    It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no.

  • So... this was on MSNBC?

  • I don't know who I hate more; Mitch Daniels and his ilk, or the uneducated, superstitous, toothless, illiterate inbreds who keep voting for them.

  • You hit the nail on the head with this one. All the lobbyists in this country should be shot...or at least fired.

  • Because the unions own 60-70% of the money in the US. :/

  • @fonkymaster

    hahahaha some1 lied to you.

  • Union is half of Soviet Union

  • @HomleandSecurity "United" States of America

    "We the people, in order to form a more perfect Union..."

  • @HomleandSecurity your right, union = communism. we should strike it from our vocabularies completely. oh wait! union sounds a bit like united, as in United States. so well have to get rid ot that too.

  • @HomleandSecurity

    This country is a union you twat.

  • cops teachers and firefighters are notelite in most countries, but they should be, they are the people who keep countries running via law saftey and learning.

  • One day the working people and the poor will rise up and slay the real elites if this crap keeps up.

  • @myriadcorp "one day the working people and the poor will rise up and slay the real elites..." It's happened before, but the rich seem to not want to pay attention to history.

  • When the tea party demonstrates and marchs TYT tells us the tea party members are crazy and anti government .When the public unions do the exact same thing TYT and their fans think it is just wonderful.When the tea party talk about a revolution some of the TYT fans have posted comments that those tea party members should be silenced and locked up.The same TYT fans are now talking about the public unions revolting and shutting down the system.One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.

  • gov walker and the COCK BROS are the ones who should be in GITMO.

  • finally some one who says how it is, our government is out of control. people .landing jails cus of bogus charges, judges giving ridiculas fines to people who are barely affording to be able to pay their rent or mortgages. many losing their homes because of lock ups. families breaking apart because the system is broken and only used to hurt the average person. what elite!!!!

  • Is buying favors from the government extreme capitalism?

  • Republicans are despicable.

  • @Richardgwm Our entire government is despicable, and hypocritical.

  • its like boardwalk empire jus without the violence, organised criminals running america while the weak fight for scraps off the table, the sad thing tho is the ignorance that allows it to happen

  • This is good. One his best.

  • Thanks Cenk, for bundling these stories together to highlight the true unjust hipocracies in this country.

  • ~•~

    NO 1 Can Make U A SLAVE Unless U OBEy

    I'm sorry 4 Mrs Fonzo missing her son.

    But he chose to B FREE rather than go on living as a SLAVE to D system.

    Drug possession leads to prison 4 a regular kid, leads to D Gov of Indiana 4 a Princeton kid.

    Aryan-Zona Gov Brewer got stopped 4 DUI while she was in congress & she goes on to become governor & give 1st time DUI offenders a mandatory jail sentence @1 of D private prisons of her campaign donors*

    ~•~

  • OMG in the sideline adds there is one saying "Like Scott Walker? Vote here now." good grief. Big business owns this place as well; so be careful.

  • @kwb70652 Good Grief, I went to the poll and it's so slanted it isn't funny. Newsmax fail.

  • @HomleandSecurity the word union has nothing to do with the ussr;

    "Union, n: a society or association formed by people or groups with common interest; origin Latin "unity" "

    so union means a group who want similar things and therfore work together to achieve them

    NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, TO DO WITH USSR

  • Even Marie Antoinette didn't call the starving people of Paris elites.

  • maybe you shouldn't break the law to get involved in the justice system.

  • @lisamaria1972 Plenty of innocent people get accused. Innocent until proven guilty. Those with money get a second, and often third, forth and fifth, chance because they can afford a lawyer who does a good job. If you get a court appointed attorney, good luck because you'll need it, whether or not you are guilty.

  • republicans are Koch suckers

  • compton cali !!!

  • everyone knows that our justice system is all about money. If you have enough money you go free, If your poor you go to jail. Everyone knows that no matter what crime you committed you can always buy yourself an expensive lawyer to get you off.

  • @khakisandatee exodus international can help you

  • Before becoming governor, Mitch Daniels was a Senior VP for one of the world's largest drug companies. He's got some balls calling working class people "elites."

    Every day, I'm more and more ashamed to live in Indiana.

  • This is why I am an Anarchist. I have no rights so fuck 'em.

  • bribe - to influence or induce by giving illegally OR immorally, a token or anything of value for service.

    The Contstitution Article III Section 4- The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the US, shall be removed from office on impeachment and conviction of treason, brbery or other high Crimes and MISDEMEANORS.

    Any who accepted campaign contribution is guilty and needs to be removed. Our democercy does works, it ben proven over the decades. Its the corrupt gov, that doesn't

  • There was a T-Shirt. It said, "Eat the Rich!" Laugh now. But if they keep it up that will be the only way we get food in the near future.

  • Google 'Plutocracy'.

  • you actually have a fairly good chance in the judicial system if you don't break the law.

  • You sound so suprised that you get the kind of justice in this country that you can afford. Is this your first trip around the block Cenk? We're just one step up from being Mexico and it's been that way for two hundred and some odd years.

    Listen, there are no millionaires on death row and there never will be.

  • Moveon is organizing rallies in every state this saturday 2/26. Visit their website where you can find details on your local rally. Democracy starts with the peoples voices being heard. If we can win this fight, we shall send a message to the government. Don't wait until there is a tea partier in the white house.

  • I am pretty sure my mom is a public union member because of an Alzheimer's patient she cares for that the state overlooks the care of. WTF? My mom doesn't make enough to pay her heating bill. At times due to paperwork or slow payment by the family she didn't get paid for a pay period or two so no rent money and had to keep working or be charged with a crime of patient neglect. Yeah, so elite - borrow money for your rent and keep working or go to jail while we don't pay you.

  • cenk is the most open minded man in america

  • It's sad to see USA slowly destroy itself. Here in Holland, the rich are also too powerful, but it's not (yet) as extreme as over there. We bailed out our own 'wall street' and now, the retirement age is being raised. Executives and lobbyists make millions, while workers struggle. However, as of yet, we still have a public health security option, semi-decent social security, strong unions and somewhat balanced leftwing and rightwing media. I really hope we don't go down the same road as you guys

  • Its time to bring down these corrupt companies and their bought politicans.

    What everyone fail to see is that wallstreet is based on custormers. If theres no one to support them they will go down. We start with the two biggest oil companies Exxon and Mobil, do not buy their gas. Take every penny you can out of the market put it in your mattress. Cut up every credit card. Any company that accepted tarp do not do bussiness thru. If you support either failed party then go down with them.

  • Well said, Cenk.

  • this country is run off the Golden rule he who has the Gold makes the rules

  • Good speech.

  • $900 a week? That's almost triple what I make

  • @Yapyapownz Thats more than Quadruple what i make. Although, granted, i usually work thirty hours a week average

  • Police State.

  • FREE Homaidan Al-Turki

  • The American people need to wake up the rich have the government in their pockets and the average man and woman has in total war and die for their corporate greed I'll bite you but I am not one happy taxpayer I know I vote for Mitch Daniels to get to face dog acting like he is holier than thou and he just a hypocrite.

  • Fascism...

  • hmm...so this is what happens when we let the prison system get run by the free market, perhaps the "Free" market isn't so free after all

  • awesome video, very good logical continuity !

  • I SWEAR TO GOD . . IF msnbc cancels Cenk over "ratings" I hope the ENTIRE TYT army boycotts their ass . . Cenk is doing sooooooo fucking good especially these past few days. he isn't even pushing his progressive ideologies as much anymore . . just the straight TRUTH no one else is saying. he mentions things other shows on the network aren't and with such passion I really respect him for that. people will look back and cite and thank you for what you're doing Cenk.

  • Cenk is da man! do it Cenk. bring real journalism back buddy!

  • Ce
