  • Good news: the Super Committe is dead!

  • is there a new dress code in the TYT ? lol

  • Even if super commiittee is successful, outcome will be $1.5 Trillion cut over 10 years. It will leave US with over $ 25 Trillion debt after 10 years. We will see DOW Jones 6000 eventually and it will get worse.

  • @MaxVonSinister: Anyone who is aware of this and doesn't do anything about it is almost as guilty as the pieces of shit who've stolen our government from us. We need to fight back by any means necessary.

  • ...Politics is so depressing.

    We're all doomed.

  • @MaxVonSinister Couldn't have been said better.

  • Rigged game

  • People, it's time to take to the streets. The corporate elite are sticking it right up our asses AGAIN and we're just talking instead of doing something. We need to protest in front of the offices of all members of Congress who take care of those predators and let them know it's over. Seriously. We need to bring back democracy. Extremist Capitalism isn't working for us. It's time to make a real choice. Protest or kill yourself & get out of our way.

  • @tripfunkmonster Good luck with that. They have security forces protecting them. Although it IS the only viable solution, violence against the politicians and the corporate elites who control them. My brother believes in monarchy, I believe in legislature at gunpoint. If they accept kick backs or make under the table deals, they risk bodily harm. That's how it should be.

  • @Piriathy: Monarchy is just another form of dictatorship, by an individual instead of a group. A legislative system by gunpoint leads to whoever has the biggest gun wins, so it's another form of dictatorship by a group. The middle class learning how to think again & getting together to kick out the soul-sucking predators who've stolen democracy would take a while but is possible with revolution in the streets bringing campaign finance reform, regulation of Wall St., elimination of the Fed...

  • @CarnardP3 Follow Bernie Sanders, he has read train departures from Union Station during his filibusters in order to stall Republican bills from passing. He's trying to do everything he can.

  • "Can't name another Democratic senator..."? Bernie's a Socialist. Just sayin'.

  • @BionicDance "Just sayin' for what??? Do you think that's bad?

  • @Piriathy No...it's just that Cenk listed him as a Democrat, which is, you know...not correct.

  • Congress represent people. Super congress just make it impossible for people to have a voice thorough congressman representing their district.. Then, why do we need congress?.

  • @Stevie68000 You are so damn stupid it is hysterical. Anyone could make a list of assholes from a common religion. Go stand on a soapbox and preach your ridiculous conspiracies so the world can point and laugh at you.

  • We need JOBS. Best way to create jobs, reduce debt, and solve the infrastructure problems is to completely eliminate Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid and use that money to hire contractors like Halliburton to repair America's infrastructure. Halliburton did a great job rebuilding Iran and saved thousands of dollars while putting hundreds of people to work. It will also have the benefit of providing employer supported healthcare insurance, thus creating jobs in the insurance industry.

  • @nsx1com or you could just take the fair amount of tax from the top 10% of your contry and use THAT towards infrastructure

  • Yeah I'm mostly trying to figure out what BS they won't do. Cuz there's gonna be a lot of BS in there, cuts to entitlements etc, you name it.

    The Dems nominated will be absolutely weaksauce, no doubt, & if they put in any fighters there, they'll just be puppets for show. They'll have a corporatist in there to display "how very centrist the Democrats are".

  • Either way, we've all been collectively screwed violently with a chainsaw and no matter who may be chosen to sit on that super - "CON" - gress, it all end with one measure, AUSTERITY!

    Peace.

  • @pr0t0typeB0Y Remove Obama and the traitors in both parties, and ram through the Glass-Steagall Act.

  • @ComfortablyUnnumb You know it my friend, you know it!

    Peace.

  • Super Committee?Yeah right, More like The Injustice league.

  • Ten years ago, I heard about the United States government wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare...I never thought they would act on it a decade later.

  • dem koch brothers finna own ERRYBODY!

  • @MaxVonSinister nice use of 500 characters.  So sad, so true.

  • @sg489 It's a change for the good of corporations.

  • @MaxVonSinister

    Perfect.

  • @gunsite308 Justice Jackson is Jayar...

  • In Capitalist America (political) whores fuck YOU!

  • @A86 I always figured fucking was kind of mutual -- like as a rule.

    Oh no wait raep.

  • How smooth must be the language of the whites,when they can make right look wrong and wrong look right.

    Black Hawk

  • @bozolazic what do you mean by "whites"?

  • I say, vote all of those democrats and republicans out if they touch SS, medicare, and medicaid. If Obama signs it, vote his ass out too.

  • You don't have a Congressman a senator or police department because they all belong to the rich elite police puts our young men and women in jail to support the prison industrial Corporation they use our armies to plunder the world we haven't fought for freedom since World War II we only have mercenaries now that's why no one is concerned about dead soldiers the rich do not care about young men they will kill them for profit

  • contrary to what is said here, the super committee is for the emergence of the 3rd party and then the 4th and then 5th once they start to rival the dem and republicans or who ever holds the #1 and 2 spots in the distant future.

  • Super Doopers

  • Sam, Jimmy, Cenk, = Awsome super committee

  • (☞ ^ ヮ^)☞ Cenk, you the man!!!

  • sometimes Sam Seder can be unpleasant.

  • The new world order is, CORPORATE FASCISM.

  • 1. Get rid of the Unions.

    2.  Cut the Federal payroll by 50%

    3. Impose a flat tax

    4. Impeach Obama

  • THIS IS TREASON..............PURE AND SIMPLE. A TOTAL VIOLATION OF THE CONSTITUTION. WAKE THE HELL UP SHEEPLE!

  • Every American, including public servants, needs the constitution explained to them properly.

    All of this is criminal.

    The government has no authority over the people, it's stated very clearly in the powers of congress. The legislation they create only applies to commerce/corporations.

    Any wrong doing or crimes of the people fall under common law jurisdiction and are to be handled by a court De jure with a grand jury!

    Everything these people do is criminal and often, treason.

  • Rep Donna Edwards, Maryland, could be added to that list, along with Bernie Sanders, who would dare to defy the Repubs....

  • @MaxVonSinister AWEsomely put

  • Time to lock and load.

  • @PainterofYou fuk the baby boomers they ruined this country

  • @eight18 and @PainterofYou

    Yes - and what have you fucking pups done for your country. besides whine and have every fcking thing given to you?

    In the first place, calling out an entire generation is as stupid as calling out a race. Or have i just hit the nail on the head.

    punks...

  • The U.S is a one-party fascist state.

    The leading Democrats are right-wing pawns and the Republican party is filled with trigger-happy, greedy, cynical clowns with no education and no sense of reality.

    .

    And now after the Bush fucking up of the economy just was beginning to calm down, another wave of reckless far-right clownfest is shutting them down.

    Ofc I couldn't care less whether the U.S went under tomorrow, the exposure to U.S debt here in northern Europe isn't that terrible.

  • @underbjorn Calling america "fascist" is demeaning to people who actually endure(d) life in fascist states.

    The truth is much less melodramatic but no less grave: ignorant and immature people elect ignorant and immature leaders; garbage in, garbage out. American politics has become reality TV, every season they have to exceed the previous season in terms of sensationalism and drama or the mob will lose interest. Things will only get better when society ceases tolerating the grotesque charade.

  • @JACKtheRIPP3R189

    In my personal experience, people generally don't care about politics, and I blame this defeatist and fatalist mindset people have adopted from Georges Carlin and Orwell. And it couldn't come at a worse time. America has fought monsters, but now we're becoming the monsters.

  • @Suzaku000 It does seem to be extremes of either fanaticism or apathetic cynicism. People should feel gloomy about the situation of things. Positive outlooks are not a substitute for competence. When people are educated and reasonable, they tend to make educated and reasonable choices. When they are more concerned with what's happening on American Idol and how much mayonnaise is on their hamburger the result is predictable.

  • Weiner needs to come back and be on that committee. one of a few democrats still with cojenes in office

  • @Shmuel93 true... sending cock pic's is a way of communicating around my office.

  • I love you Sam! Cenk better step his game up! ^^

  • @Stevie68000 And most Republicans are Christian.

  • @Calvary48 Christians that molest children, cheat on there wives and lie.... amen.

  • @Stevie68000 I use to have a black guy controlling my money until he stole it all.... I trust my Jew accountant. Oh but your right jews are evil...lol kidding.

  • @Stevie68000 .....so?

  • @Stevie68000 Religious affiliation is not the problem. Money is the problem. Money is the true enemy.

  • @Stevie68000 Oh a anti Semite believes the jews rule the world

  • @jasperwoods

    He's been posting this in every video.

  • i haven't looked into this super committee thing too much, but it sounds like it's unconstitutional. i don't think the Constitution gives the federal government the power to create new sects of the legislative branch, especially one that has this much power. i could be totally wrong, but it just doesn't seem legal for Congress to do this (of course that's never stopped them before).

  • @Cuddlebunzzzz ...haven't looked into it?

    This may be the straw that broke the camels back. We are taking legislative power from the congress and giving it to a semi-elected committee. In other words the basic form of our government is being changed without our permission.

    I think i would look into it if i were you...

  • @javamanV3 yes i know it's a horrible thing and i know that it's going to send this country even further down the drain. it's just that work has kept me busy and prevented me from spending hours earning my law degree from Google University to confirm whether or not this is illegal. i'm almost certain it is, but i'm not going to make any assumptions since i don't know of any law or Constitutional article that prohibits it.

  • @MaxVonSinister at least you have the choice to go to a major league game, but everyone is forced to deal with the consequences of political theater.

  • I'd love Al Franken on the committee. 

  • @Newenlightenmentnow

    Al Frankenfoods voted for Czars, the Super Committee, Banker Bailouts, Corporate bailouts, Quantitative easing, more spending, Food Modernization, Patriot Act, Earmarks, Military cover-ups, TSA, Cash for Clunkers, and anything which grows our corrupted bureaucracies - as long as it eliminates the middle class while increasing tyranny.

  • @jag10 your sources please?

  • @Newenlightenmentnow - pretty sure this is a troll - chk his channel...

  • @Newenlightenmentnow

    Source is public record.

    You can go to govtrack or project vote smart, or simply google "Al Franken voting record".

    He's better than most nanny staters, and probably believes he is protecting the citizenry, but he isn't.

    He was the co-sponsor of the food safety modernization act (HR 2751)- nuff said.

  • Comment removed

  • woa Seder is awesome, give him what he wants keep him at that table

  • @gunsite308 I dont think Seder is expendable, Hes the only one who can make a relevant argument against Cenk and makes him work to defend his argument. Jayar brings a lot of valid points when he talks, but he has a hard time explaining himself, so he wouldnt go good on the panel with cenk and seder, he most likely will stay quiet. And wes also, a lot of wes' opinions are not relevant and are more on the smartass side, he would be funny but I dont think he could keep up with Cenk and Seder.

  • @Vr4z1el "a lot of wes' opinions are not relevant and are more on the smartass side"

    Dumb ass.

  • @Vr4z1el I agree with everything in your comment.

  • Republican....Democrat......ho­w simple minded you all are.

    They are ALL sticking it to us......the same. 

  • Good cop, bad cop. I hate cops.

  • Who is the blatant dumbass in the middle? Gtfo

  • @GoDiglet ur lagging

  • these guys are crazy smart.

  • Amen on Sanders.

  • These 3 dudes together = BEST PANEL EVER!

  • Sam says "Uhh" to much.

  • This was a kick ass panel, do it again please!

  • The Council of Thirteen....

    FUCK THE US, you guys are too far down the shitter to be saved, I'm sorry.

  • It's NOT a Super Committee It's a Super Congress.

  • @ERRIN2000 No my friend, it is a super fuck in the ass for most americans

  • @AtrofiaExplanation2 It's sad, Because your RIGHT, What ever name like my self gives it this will all ways lead to your great explanation mate.

  • bernie is not a member of the democratic or republican party, he is a member of the people's party

  • I'd love a Cenk/Seder/Wes show. My head might explode.

  • @CelphProclaimed Glenn Greenwald appearing on the show in person would be awesome. 

  • @CelphProclaimed man, if they made a Wes Clark Jr. + Sam Seder + Cenk Uygur show,

    I'd have a massive political b0ner throughout the ENTIRE Show!

    (☞ ^ ヮ^)☞ (_(_)======|_-} ~-o

  • This "Super Congress Committee" is a dictatorial fascistic slap in the face to the Democratic Constitutional American Republic.

    Enjoy your "freedoms" you bloated self-serving ignorant American sheeple... 

  • I liked this cause it dosn't have 2 dumb blonds. Thank you for listening TYT

  • I really like this line up. These three should always go at it.

  • UNCONSTITUTIONAL

  • More games with our money.. fuc bernie sanders along with all other politicians

  • It's so inhumane for these politicians to cut off Social Security and Medicare and not the Military Budget.

  • Is this committee even constitutional???

  • @bozolazic Don't think so ... we voted for congressmen and senators, but we don't get to vote on committee members; it looks like a way to circumvent the Constitution

  • i like Sam, but he needs to stop saying "uh..." every 2 words.

  • LMAO that other guy said like 1 sentence and just stayed quiet the rest of the time hahaha what the fuck is he doing there? get the poor guy off of there he looks uncomfortable lololol

  • i wanna hear more from Jimmy Dore

  • Franken isn't running until 2014, think of the country first, not one republican will vote for Franken in mn no matter what

  • MOAR SEDER ON TYT!!!!!!!!

  • @Stevie 680000 hmmmmmmmm ok hitler

  • Hey, I love this TYT "Round table" thingy.

  • Look at the title of the video. Now say it with me. OF COOOOOOOOOOURSE!

  • Lol I clicked on this cos I thought the guy on the far left was Louis Theroux haha

  • People protest all the time in this country, but the media never covers it. Hell, back when bush was the pres, a group of protesters egged his limo... and nothing was said on any news channel in the country. Just because you dont hear about it, doesnt mean it isnt happening.

  • The Sam guy is really annoying... please.. very annoying.. Jimmy Dore is so funny.. i laugh just by looking at his expression..

  • @redoxin5 whaaa I love Sam lol

  • I thought America was supposed to be a democracy,not communist.

  • @WolfsStorm lol then you've been living under a rock, you're an idiot LMAO

  • @WolfsStorm Actually America was founded as a Constitutional Republic. The forefathers thought that democracy was the worst form of government -- and I agree with them. That is why the word democracy is not mentioned one time in the Bill of Rights, Constitution, and Declaration of Independence. Hell it is not even mentioned in the Pledge of Allegiance either....

    Republic.

  • Too True! From the song Everybody Knows by Leonard Cohen: Everybody knows that the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows that the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor, the rich get rich That's how it goes Everybody knows
  • I wanna blow Sam Seder!

  • A promised balance budget in 10 to 20 years means nothing. I'm sure there will be a war, bailout or some other conjured "emergency" to blow that fake plan to pieces. We were scared and intimidated into raising the debt ceiling and now the things we were warned about happens anyway.

  • "Will the bipartisan super committee cut programs like Social Security and Medicare (with almost no meaningful revenue increases)?"

    YES.

  • Yes the donkey would.....O.o.......cuz its still a carrot wtf

  • "Super Committee will screw you" These guys are against the government reducing spending to match the revenues taken in because... It interferes with their ideology of wealth redistribution? Raising taxes doesn't necessarily raise revenues because it penalizes the same activities generate the current tax revenues. Remember the image of the donkey and the carrot? If you took away 3/4 of the carrot, would the donkey continue chasing it?

  • @gilbet

    "If you took away 3/4 of the carrot, would the donkey continue chasing it?"

    Um, actually, I'm pretty sure it would.

  • @gilbet

    reason these progressives are so angry about cuts to spending and no tax increases is simply because Dems couldn't win any more elections if they can't promise people goodies from government at the expense of others, which is how they have had control of government agenda for decades. The chickes are coming home to roost and will shit all over the liberals,..it's about time

  • @genie0390 - You are an idiot. You're advocating Dictatorship, and have the nerve to call yourself an "anarchist." If you're a TRUE anarchist, you would have zero respect for personal property rights, as respecting personal property rights only ends in DICTATORSHIP. You don't tell your landlord what to do. You don't tell him how to spend YOUR money. And you don't bitch that you have give him YOUR money each month! And you have to do what your landlord tells you too! You're a fucking idiot!

  • @LeksServices

    what the hell are you talking about?

  • @gilbet if the donkey's stomach was about to burst from eating carrots, and all he does is roll around in mountains of carrots 24/7, he won't chase any kind of a carrot either. metaphors aren't real life.

  • @gilbet if the donkey's stomach was about to burst from eating carrots, and all he does is roll around in mountains of carrots 24/7, he won't chase any kind of a carrot either. metaphors aren't real life.

  • Super Committee is a super joke, there going to screw us over again and again and again until it's The Rich and The Poor. The middle class is already becoming an endangered species and were sitting here watching videos about how were our country is going to get worse? I would do something but i'm all the way in Ga. Why doesn't anyone in VA do something >.>

  • LOL the teaprty is controlling the nation! Just won the house, but now will control the super committee, and the Sneate will have to vote up or down on it!

  • I don't think the majority of Americans are scared of the government. I think that everyone is to busy. I don't know one adult who can take time off to go protest and if teenagers do it were not going to be taken seriously plus most don't even look at politics or what's going on in the country until they reach working age then when they do it's to late because there busy

  • @TrueTacticia Its understand, who has the time now. we will have to wait untill we all loose jobs, homes. It frees so much time then we can take to the streets

  • "...and ram their boot up the Democrats' ass..."

    If only the Democrats would stop bending over and taping a bulls eye to their butts.

  • I thought we already had a committee AKA OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS. Super committee LOL. who do they think they are fooling? Why are the American people accepting a limiting of their representation by allowing a super committee?

  • Anything with "Super" in politics will screw us over.

  • That is sooooo unconstitutional! AMERICANS why are you not on the streets fighting this crap like the Egyptians did?

  • @saprissa9 Because the majority of Americans are brainwashed and scared of the government.

  • @saprissa9 Give it a little time.

  • WTF are these people talking about? These people arent AFRAID to sit on that committe. Every single one of them already has a cozy private industry job waiting for them when they dont get re-elected. Every single one of them is all lined up to collect paychecks until the day they die for a job where they never have to show up for work.

  • I gave up on the Democrats BEFORE it was popular to give up on the Democrats. You know, when it was still on vinyl.

  • @Relyt22 hipster democrat is hipster

  • @klowdz1 said "hipster democrat is hipster"

    These labels are bullshit. Haven't you learned yet that every human being is unique. Labels are just a trick to separate people. Republican - Democrat - hipster - tea party - bull shit.

    If you don't believe me describe yourself in one word.

  • @javamanV3 I think you missed the joke. If you didn't..it must be too mainstream to laugh at a hipster joke.

  • @javamanV3 TL;DR

  • @Relyt22 LOL

  • Same Seder...

    FTW!

  • I think they should make a super-doper congress and reduce the size to 6 people, then make a super-duper-awesome congress of 4 people. Finally reduce it to one person and call it a dictator.

  • The super committee is pretty much useless (For average folks that is) The republicans have already made there mind up and the Dem's are just the light version of the GOP. Even if you put Bernie Sanders on the committee, that's ONE PERSON that will even fight for the voters and not the top 5%. So what really is the point if the conclusion is already known?

  • Harry Reid will put on Dewey, Screwem and Howe...

  • BERNIE SANDERS IS NOT A DEMOCRAT!!!! And that's what makes him awesome.

  • @cikcikosman " BERNIE SANDERS IS NOT A DEMOCRAT!!!! And that's what makes him awesome. " No he's a Socialist masquerading as a independent.

  • @chaumont20 Can't an independent be socialist without any masquerading?

  • @Astroz87 Bernie Sanders is a Socialist who claims to be Independent but votes with the Democrats 100% of the time. It would help clear things up a lot if they got rid of the Democrat moniker and just said they are the Progressive Socialist party. If they did this the Democrats would get the 27% of the vote that they richly deserve.

  • @chaumont20 LOL!!!!!!!! Democrats, Socialst????? Holy Fuck!!!! The Right wing of Canada and Scandanavia makes the Democrats look like fucking Tea baggers.

    Bernie Sanders does NOT vote with the Democrats 100% of the time....but he opposes the Reich wing agenda most of the time.

    This Country needs Socialist to stand up and show the dumb fuck rednecks what socialism really looks like. It would help swing the policies back to the center instead of the dumbfuck reich.

  • @cikcikosman agree, we need more independents

  • This Congress is basically telling people to "EAT YOUR PEAS!!!"
