Conservatives always pass the buck. They won't acknowledge that they demanded that the banks be deregulated in order to help people buy homes. Barney frank only tried to help people achieve the American Dream of home ownership. It's always the wealthy bankers & conservatives who manipulate the system so they can make a profit and sell out the consumer.
@lorena509 Your statement is kind of true except the fact that it was Dodd and Frank who pushed banks and mortgage companies to give loans to people who couldn't afford them by having these companies waive their down-payment, lower % rates, etc. You have an understanding of the core problem but you're pointing fingers at those who arent in your political party. I'm not saying Republicans didn't have a hand in it but you're placing blame solely on a specific group rather than everyone involved.
@lorena509 And actually, the majority of wealth being held in this country is by registered Democrats. It's ok to blame your own party for things, not everyones perfect.
The mortgages that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were selling to people didn't help the situation as the government told them to do so to people who are poor. That s what caused all the problems as the banks wouldn't have sold those mortgages otherwise.
@jatt5at You're right, and now everyone's mad at the banks for not approving them for loans. The banks are now doing the right thing and not giving loony people loans for their 520 credit scores. Thanks Barney and friends for our current disaster!!
@nerdynerdy2009 The power of a mob works it's wonders. The fact that he was able to accomplish so many disastrous acts against the will of the American tax-payer deserves recognition in itself.
The affordable housing act, by no way shape or form, "forced" banks into giving loans out to minorities. If your being lazy and getting your new from Faux, they are poisoning you. It's clear who has been lazy here. Get off your butts and find credible sources. You don't know how ignorant you people make yourselves appear.
@gerri577 Incentives are what drove the housing crash. Government incentives to lower lending standards (reduce mandated reserves). They did this by guaranteeing every loan in a process called securitization that, in short, bought mortgages from the banks thereby reinstating available balance sheet reserve balances. The more loans they made, the more money they made. Business is driven by profit so one must be mindful when centrally mandating ignorant policies in the name of fairness.
Barney Frank is PERSONALLY responsible for forcing people to accept bad mortgages? I didn't realize that he had that kind of time on his hands, to run around the country and force everyone about to buy a house with a bad mortgage to accept it. Who is this British prick that thinks bankers aren't responsible for the BANKING MELTDOWN???? This is first grade logic, dumbass.
I knew a homeless African American from Biloxi Mississippi back in 2005, he was kicked out of the military for drug use and had horrible credit when he got out. A bank gave him a loan of (brace yourself) $500,000 to start a business. He died of a drug overdose without paying back a cent.
Am I the only one who hears the British guy and thinks he talks like he's in some royal court during the Middles Ages trying to turn the peons attention away from the monarchy? It's just eerie.
Barney Frank should be in jail! He and Dodd are responsible for the downturn in the housing market which still haunts the country today! Liberals in general are also responsible for this because of their stupidity in forcing loans onto people who had no business being approved for them and were too broke or incompetent to pay back anything. Liberals have made it so banks would be audited if they refused loans to minority groups even if these people where financially incompetent.
@aSingleDallasGuy u know how you give away the fact that you get all your so called news from faux, the way you twisted the amendment to say that they forced people to get homes. Actually, bush did that, using the media as a tool to brainwash everyone to get a home. But since I'm not a faux news journalist, your gonna say I'm lying. whatever...
@gerri577 .... 40+ years of liberalism is why the country is wrecked! Liberals expect others to pay their way thru life and liberal politicians promise "freebies" for their vote. 3% of the population pays 70% of all taxes. And liberals complain that is not enough. It's not a fair share! Big govt, high taxes and wasteful spending has got us here with 15+ trillion in debt. And here you are complaining, that isn't enough! Look in the mirror! You liberal idiots have WRECKED this country!
@aSingleDallasGuy Yeah it's all the fault of the liberals! Both sides of politics respond to the same donors, it's that kind of thinking that goes nowhere, blaming 1 side of the other...the truth is that no matter which sides is in power very little changes from year to year.
@Nebbyker .... "the truth is that no matter which sides is in power very little changes from year to year". Yeah, well wait till 2013 and get your Obamacare health bill because you exist. Oh and if you don't buy healthcare, guess what? The IRS will be billing you. That's a fact! Don't give me this BS that both parties are to blame. 40+ years of liberalism is the SOLE reason we have 15 trillion in debt. Of which you owe 48,000 of it personally. Again because you exist! Moron!
@aSingleDallasGuy I know why your user name is "single"cuz judging by your comments, you can't maintain a relationship. Would u like the name of a good shrink?
@aSingleDallasGuy oh really? So the proofs that banks pushed minorities into bad loans, even when they qualified for better loans, means nothing to you?
1:37 Cenk, the reason that Fannie/Freddie made those loans because they were forced to by the big government. These were the "diversity" loans made to people without reagrd to whether or not they could pay the loans back. Hence, we are in a "diversity" recession. Thanks democraps.
@USA4July1776 Looks like the corporate paid posters have gotten focused on TYT. What is the mater corporate profits are not high enough for you yet. I hope your $2 bucks an hour salary can buy you a sandwich.
Watching Cenk just makes me want to start a youtube channel going through how he switches goalposts. First he was discussing a HOUSING FINANCE CRISIS, but when he wants to blame bankers for taking advantage of policies provided by GOVERNMENT, then it becomes a BANKING failure. No integrity man, you're a talking head.
@tugger Talking head indeed. Left or right they're all the same, but good luck convincing their drones. Just wait you will soon get spammed by fans trying to deny the obvious truth.
@tugger You are ether a propaganda sucker or a corporate talking head. Washington doesn't randomly create laws. Laws are created by politicians on the request of corporations who pay them off. Gingrich received MILLIONS from Fanny Freddie. All politicians get paid to pass laws for corporations. The banks got RICH, they got bailed out and grew even larger. Propaganda voices like yours blame the puppets sheltering the puppet master corporations. The cycle keeps repeating. Thanks fool.
@tugger That's possibly because the HOUSING FINANCE CRISIS, the GOVERNMENT, and BAKING failures were all interrelated during the 2008 crash. If you think it's so simple as to reduce it down to one single, simple issue, you're an idiot and need to read more.
@tugger mmmh bankers taking advantage of policies by govt? You do know that most of those policies by govt were paid for by the same bankers who profit from them...it's a giant fraud scheme...you donate a few millions to politicans who in turn pass laws and regulations that favor your business so you end up with a giant return on your investment...plenty of TyT videos about that as well.
Cenk, I know you're never going to read this. But if you're going to defend Barney Frank by REFUSING TO SAY A WORD ABOUT WHAT TERRIBLE POLICIES HE SUPPORTED for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and if you're going to DANCE around and say 'look both republicans and democrats make mistakes'. I'm gay but I hope that never makes a liberal make bullshit excuses for my mistakes if they EVER cause as much harm as Barney Frank's did.
What is so weird to me about the FOX commentators is that no matter what their content is, not matter what they actually say, they express themselves so strangely (and here use ostensibly non-american, foreign, talking heads who should carry no weight for the what I imagine the FOX audience's collective mind), they give the appearance of a dogmatic cult.
i was not aware of the "Barney Frank" sex scandal. Frank was accussed of running a gay brothel in D.C. and his cliental included other politicians. the charges were dropped when he threatened to realease the names. I was watching real time with bill maher and i saw Frank saying he was going to retire and i thougt it seemed fishy that he would jump ship when the country is in such peril. It became crystal clear to me that he, like most politicians, only care about themselves.
Barney Frank was in the minority party from 1995 through 2006. When all of the problems arose, Republicans controlled the White House, the House of Representatives, and the Senate. Democrats had no power.
Fox News knows that Republicans are so stupid that they will believe ANYTHING.
@AtlanticCapers Not having the house majority does not mean you have no power. Barney still made deals that didn't have full congressional approval. It's called working the liberal mob system. Dem's have been ramming policies through congress without constitutional approval for years. Dem's have their ways of getting things done through the back door. Still doesn't excuse Bush but Barney and friends are factually guilty.
@motox3rider13 Nothing you just said is true. Please try to understand that you have been systematically trained to reject reality. I run across people like you all the time. You think the stuff you lie about will somehow come true, but that's not the way it works. I'm not attacking you. I'm just letting you know.
@AtlanticCapers Although I appreciate that you're not "attacking" me, nothing you replied with proves what I said isn't true so your statement holds no value whatsoever. I've been systematically trained by reading and research to understand the truth and the truth is Barney has gone against the will of the American people for years. I never said he's the sole person to blame, but it's no coincidence that he's on center stage for the Freddie/Fannie catastrophy. Prove me wrong; it's all I ask.
@AtlanticCapers Also, I'm not squirting lies out onto youtube. Only the liberal mob does that. It's not like I said Barney was secretly President of the United States and he solely created the housing bubble with his own two hands. That was a very ridiculous comment you made; or should I say, it was from out in LEFT field? Discuss the problem to me with facts, not with absurd comments that have no truth or depth.
Here's what's going on: Fox's narrative is "Here's a politician that has tried to do something for the poor, and it crashed the economy--best just to keep things the way they are."
Just to be clear, this isn't a defense of anything that Barney Frank has done in office, because nothing he's actually done is relevant here. The narrative is what's important to Fox News, and will get pushed regardless of the facts.
Barney Frank certainly hasn't helped things. He said there was no housing bubble in 2005, he said there was no need to require Fannie and Freddie to have the same accounting standards as everybody else, then he went on CNBC just months before their collapse and said their prospects were "solid going forward." Yeah, he's the kind of expert I want to regulate the entire financial system.
@CommonSenseCap How do people get to be so stupid to think that Barney Frank caused the banks to do what they did by saying things? Are you aware that Republicans controlled the House, the Senate, and the White House for almost all of the bubble timeline? Are you aware that Barney Frank had no power to do anything? Try to think for yourself. You don't have to be a stupid person for the rest of your life.
@AtlanticCapers I never said Barney Frank 'caused ' the crisis. He played the fiddle while the house burned down. He neither caused nor stopped anything. When someone says Fannie and Freddie are "solid" months before going under, how do you trust that person to overhaul the entire financial system? You'll have to read my comment and do better than calling me "stupid" in the response.
@lowenklee No, government should do a good job in regulating, just like the SEC did in 2008. If not, we should create ANOTHER regulatory body to do so. It's like taking a house that needs to be demolished and building a brand new one on top of it.
When did the banks have the opportunity to regulate themselves?
Frank was hardly a Nero, but rather a hapless schmuck. FOX is largely muted on the subject of the true arsonists, instead they show as little shame as proportion in peddling ideas such as "he [Frank] has fouled up the financial system."
They're interest is clearing rewriting history one lie at a time.

shiiit is hitting the fan. Shiit is hitttting the faan. The fan is hitting the shiiit. Shit is hitting the faaaan. Hold on friends, hit is shitting the fan.
This seems like a hoax.. I feel like Murdoch paid someone off in order to include something ridiculous enough in this new 'National Defense Authorization Act' that even Fox news could accurately and passionately report/oppose it. It would be clever pr work for Fox, a network whose viewers are hearing a lot of negative feedback about their news station of late - especially after the recent Murdoch scandals in Europe.
The ENTIRE ESTABLISHMENT was advocating home loans as the quintessential American purchase. One guy? No. Alan Greenspan had more influence in pushing "your home is an asset you can borrow against:" etc. etc.
Bush, and others, warned of the bubble, and suggested remedies YEARS before the real estate crash. Frank laughed (on camera) and said Fanny and Freddy were both solvent, and implied that anyone who didn't support the current (at that time) scheme was a closet rascist.
You're disingenuous here Cenk, full of the same bullshit double-speak and convenient fact-omitting as the rest of the Establishment Media.
@MachOverspeedsPlace Bush and others (a GOP majority) were in charge but you (and Fox News) choose to believe one gay congressman control the nation?!?!?! That is brain numbing stupid.
@H1TMANactual GW Bush and six years of GOP control produce the worse economic crisis in our life time not to mention two of our longest wars. Look it up.
@337noname Frank was Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, a position he still holds, at the time he poo-poo'd the Bush Administration's concerns over the rising threat of govt induced instability in the housing market. I wouldn't say he single-handedly controls the nation, but he does have beau coup stroke?
What? By uttering "Fox News" every time you hear an uncomfortable truth, do you think that makes it go away?
@MachOverspeedsPlace Alan Greenspan screwed up by not raising interest rates after President Bush cut taxes and started two wars without any plan to pay for them. Fox News at the time was acting as cheer leader for the Republican revolution and not interested in truth. Kids today are not so fooled by Fox News' fixation on a liberal gay congressman as their parents apparently are.
@337noname Greenspan. Fed Chairman. Much loved by DemSnakes during the Clinton years. Another dumbshit Keynesian. What's your point?
Yep. Fox News cheers for the RepubRats. MSNBC cheers for the DemSnakes. Offsetting penalties. Who cares? Who the fuck watches TV anyway?.
Twice now you've mentioned Mr. Frank's sexual orientation, intimating that any disagreement one might have with him is rooted in homophobia. What do I care who the guy fucks, as long as it ain't me?
@MachOverspeedsPlace My point is if you are going to blame one person, blame one person who held the most responsibility instead of one of many in congress.
According to Fox News and the Right wing, no one watches MSNBC. I know I don't.The nation was fucked by the anti-intellectual racist homophobia party of by and for multi-national corporations who blame Barney Frank because dump ass idiot Americans fall for it.
@337noname Your first sentance is correct. About your second portion, Fox news condemns Bush for the housing bubble and the economy as a whole all the time. Bill O'reilly says it often. But the problem with the American people right now is they're all crying about who started it, which the liberal media mob is condoning, rather than coming up with a solution. Whether a Dem or Repub comes up with a solution, I don't care. I just want solutions rather than hearing the problem over and over.
@motox3rider13 Liberal media mob? I'm pretty sure another idiotic catch phrase is not a solution to anything. In fact, I think it's part of the problem.
@337noname lol touche. However, looking over the broad definition of a mob, the liberal media mob is hardly a catch phrase. It strikes a terrifying resemblance to a mob, although not nearly as threatening as a mob is portrayed. I feel the media is spiraling this country into a hole to where no one can trust the media, and in result, no one can trust the Government due to the lack of legitimate news broadcasting. I think I've made a very fair assessment.
@motox3rider13 We have a free press and the right to vote. Sadly we've become a nation of whiners not doers. Irony is our liberal western values of individual freedom is what the terrorists fear most about us. Obviously with good cause. Apparently you fear it too.
@337noname YES! More than one dickhead is responsible. And Frank, in his position as Chairman of said committee, PUSHED the legislation. And, when questions of Fanny and Freddy's solvency arose, he straight up lied about it. Period. That's HIS part in the debacle.
YOU are the guy making an issue of sexual preference, because that's how you rationalize anyone disagreeing with Frank's (and yours) political ideology. Moreover, I am Amerind, my son is gay, and SOCIALISM fucked up America
@MachOverspeedsPlace Making an issue of homophobic media outlets like Fox News isn't the same as making an issue of sexual preferences. I do agree that the US militaristic corporate brand of socialism is more harmful than say the common sense conservative socialism practiced in Canada. BTW - Did you know Fox News isn't allow to broadcast it's propaganda in Canada. They have laws against lying on air. How quaint.
@MachOverspeedsPlace Cenk never said Frank had zero responsibility for the real estate crash...he was simply making fun of the fact Fox and Friends talked about Frank as if he was the single man that brought our housing market to its' knees. Anyone who has done any fact checking knows that it is a corrupt system of government that allowed those loans to be dished out virtually unchecked; demonstrated by the fact the greedy heads of those banks aren't in prison right now.
Only the mouth-breathing inbreds who watch Fox News could be stupid enough to believe anything these assholes are saying, since it is common knowledge that...oh, wait. Only the many millions upon millions of mouth-breathing inbreds who watch Fox News could be stupid enough to believe anything these assholes are saying, since it is common knowledge that the Bush administration is responsible for the economic collapse...
I'm so glad I don't live in the U.S.A. You poor fuckers are doomed.
Stuart Varney is like my 4th most annoying person on FoxNews. I'm quite sure they have him just to give the Foxviewer an impression that he has a "european" perspective.
Plus if I didn't knew that he is from the UK, I would so think he's faking his accent.
Everyone argueing about left and right propoganda, that's the whole point, it's not about the left or right anymore. They're all getting money from the same place. This is why we watch alternative news sources on the internet because we know how much bullshit the mainstream media is right?? I think it's all time we declare ourselves independent and stop clinging to a party and get behind individual politicians and movements that support the same things we do.
Nice to see you still have no clue what any of those terms mean. It proves U.S clown-Republicans are exempt from evolution and intellectually frozen on the stone age.
Fox News is hilarious. This guy is made by the Fox News to be the scapegoat of the entire system. They are PAID to do this. I tend to ignore Fox News these days, the only time I'm willing to hear them out is when Jon Stewart of The Daily News makes fun of them.
Did the US government not strong-arm the banks into making mortgage loans to people who couldn't afford to pay them back? If it did, that's where the crash started. The ensuing crash had nothing to do with banks making profits. It had to do only with survivorship. After being forced to make bad loans, banks then used ways and means available (securitization) to offload the risk in a game of financial hot potato. If you were forced into the same position, would you pass the potato or not?
@MrSpencerport Thanks. I think you have to keep pushing past the banks to see why the bad loans were really made. Banks are the entities that have the lending expertise. It's contrary to their risk management practices to make bad loans that would clearly go into default once their initial terms expired. Banks don't make money on a mortgage if it defaults in the short term, as these loans were bound to do.
@ParadoxEcho It's sort of a double edged sword isn't it? If you're not a douchebag, it might make you seem smarter.... but if you are a douchebag, it makes you seem like an even bigger douchebag... Hmmm...

@YY4Me133 .............. Fox News and "talk radio" use lies and misinformation to trick tens-of-millions of people into voting for Republicans. It's clearly election fraud.
How can anyone watch fox news and take it seriously!!! They offer up personal opinion as fact ignoring historical evidence it's mind boggling that middle America support and watch that ridiculous network!!!
Unfortunately, even we know the bankers are taking away our money to make up for their own mistakes, there is nothing we can do about it as of now (other than put a rich man's tax. which will probably not happen anytime soon). The government cannot not give if these banks' aid, cuz if they do, it will be the Great Depression all over again...
Canada's Radio Act requires that "a licenser may not broadcast ... any false or misleading news." The provision has kept Fox News and right-wing talk radio out of Canada and helped make Canada a model for liberal democracy and freedom. As a result of that law, Canadians enjoy high quality news coverage, including the kind of foreign affairs and investigative journalism that flourished in this country before Ronald Reagan abolished the "Fairness Doctrine" in 1987.
Ahh Barney Frank...I'm sure the republicans will miss going to that old well now that he's leaving...btw who the hell watches fox and friends? What is the demographic? Cocaine snorting trust fund babies who can't get dates in college because they're 'republican'? Must be.
This is a good example of how the media needs to individualise all problems, ie, make them seem as if they are the result of the actions of individuals, meanwhile overlooking systemic factors. "Is the social and economic SYSTEM itself at fault? Surely not! Why, then, it must be the fault of an individual".
We will never have a real democracy until Fox News Channel and talk radio are shut down. They trick millions of people into voting for Republicans and steal countless elections.
The thing about Fox is they become more and more of a self-parody every day. They have less and less and less credibility all the time, always. The only thing to question about that is whether it's linear or exponential growth.
I hear less and less about moderates taking Fox seriously. The entire Conservative movement seems like it's becoming either apathetic, or fascist.
Steve Doocy is such a faggy whore. This guy probably spend his college days in the wall streem bathrooms giving those thieves blow jobs. If you watch fox news you're a fucking brain dead idiot. This country is being robbed blind both both republicans and democrats, both of whom work for the banks, not for your stupid ass. And fox news is their propaganda arm.
how can i be as righteous and enlightened as you cenk? please help, help us all, save us from ourselves with your moral superiority. show us the way cenk. all hail cenk, our divine leader.
@underbjorn Old school progressives love war as much as the neocons do. Wilson and FDR jailed dissidents, supported warrantless searches and seizures, and were both bought by the military-industrial complex. When new leftist hippies started opposing the vietnam war, many pro war leftists defected to the republican party and nixon. Thats why they were called neocons. Bill clinton and obama continued the old left tradition of warmongering.obama has expanded the war on terror to libya

Did the US government not strong-arm the banks into making mortgage loans to people who couldn't afford to pay them back? If it did, that's where the crash started. The ensuing crash had nothing to do with banks making profits. It had to do only with survivorship. After being forced to make bad loans, banks then used ways and means available (securitization) to offload the risk in a game of financial hot potato. If you were forced into the same position, would you pass the potato or not?

@MrSpencerport Thanks. I think you have to keep pushing past the banks to see why the bad loans were really made. Banks are the entities that have the lending expertise. It's contrary to their risk management practices to make bad loans that would clearly go into default once their initial terms expired. Banks don't make money on a mortgage if it defaults in the short term, as these loans were bound to do.
