Bailout of Auto Industry - Lou Dobbs Interview with Ted Turner - 11-11-08

[Metasand]

I think Turner seams to have great political opinions, for example he is a supporter of the healt care reform, allso in this interview i agree with him, and i allso agree with him in other matters.

[VsAStarr]

@Metasand Hes a Eugenicist......

[CboyDav]

hopefully he and his will be in the 80% he wants eliminated from Mother Earth...

[moviesforrandy]

everything has its time and place nothing last forever. we should have not bailed out anyone. but i was amazed that one of the banks paid back their loan of a 100 billion within a year of the loan. that was just free money for them to loan out. they made a killing of the tax payers. who cares if gm fails i have owned 7 new gm trucks sinse 79 and they are cheaper built and more expensive every year.

[Minionuup]

Ted Turner.......lol! Another hippie millionaire.

[SuddenSparkles]

I love the way this clip ends--two very self-assured men basically telling each other they are the be all end all know it alls... ha ha ha... I love them both even when I don't always agree with them. I think they are hugely charismatic.

[AllianceCrusha]

Ted's elite trash.

[syrinx32123]

teds the man

[CboyDav]

@syrinx32123 how can you say that? he gave the un a billion dollars to be used for population control... he, the head of monsanto are members of the bilderberg group and wants to reduce the worlds population by 80%. I hope the whole group burns baby burn!!!

[syrinx32123]

@CboyDav Overpopulation is one of the most important environmental and economic issues today. Our earth will not be able to sustain the current population and at the rate it is growing.

[MaverickDigitalMedia]

@syrinx32123 No he's not. He wants your folks dead b4 they turn 62

[rondaddy08]

ted Turner is an old filthy rich piece of shit drunk who has it out for working people just like most of his ilk. he wants the U.S. to be a playground for rich people. One big fucking golf course and vacation spot for the super rich. In turn people like him want a small middle class and a huge lower class to make money for them. I know this sounds like some kind of class-warfare rant...well it is!!!

[fixatepvpwow]

@rondaddy08 I honestly, don't think you know anything about his life. Just because you assume something, doesn't make it fact.

[checkercm]

This nation that supports the Japanese so heartily will wind up with no auto manufacturing companies in the US and will wind up sending the majority of our car money to other countries just like we send our oil money elsewhere. Don't give me that "these cars are made here" bullcorn. The majority of the money is going to another nation. We are going to deplete our nation of its wealth in the long run, and we are also going to incapacitate our industrial capabilities. GREAT JOB AMERICANS!!!

[SmoothSR]

Where is the domestic Prius? US auto makers where given money already to produce energy efficient cars. Instead they built more of the same. Also no US car should cost more than an Import in any category. I say no on bail out and yes in giving the money to companies like Tesla Motors. Who can offer new technology and no more dependence on foreign oil. Let's keep our money home. The terrorist have collected enough from us.

[emforty2]

be nice and give GM the bailout money on one condition

money can only be used to build and restore the ELECTRIC TROLLEY they destroyed and crushed back in the early 50s

ha ha ha

[mont3818]

Regulation!

Tell em' "okay but you have to help us convert to alternative fuel. We'll give you this money to make solar powered and electric powered affordable within at least five years. You must pass what we did for you on to your customers."

Show em' we have the right and ability to pull our money from right underneath them if they don't steer the course and we don't see the progress.

[PhotonDrive]

Hey, this guy could be the next energy chief - if Carl Schmidt doesn't have time. Maybe work togther? Hi Ted, I'm one of the inventors of the cheap FUEL-LESS TRANSPORT - ignored by Detroit the past 10 years. Gave all my stuff to China for world good. THEY LISTENED, Japanese listened MORE. Ted: everything is solid-state now, all is simple. No Fuel-Motors, just magnetic generation (from small solar roof arrays), feeding mag-drives (one or on ea. wheel).So FUCK Detroit & military-oil machine,O.K.?

[pewpewmigoo]

thank god for Ted

[SevenSins005]

im happy to hear that Ted Turner has enough common sense to realize that the 3 major auto makers are continuing to build inefficent cars and trucks that nobody wants to buy. Just let them fail so that someone else can pick up the trash and fix it without using tax payer money

[scottay68]

Turner just made Lou Dobbs his little Bitch

[nathands]

Well Said!

[welfarescum]

HAHA!!! Serves all the dumb shit auto workers who voted for Obama!!! HE doesnt care about you now that he got elected! HE just needed your vote!!! HAHA!!! Hope all you Michigan liberal shitheads lose your homes now!! You wanted Obama? HAHA!! Now you got him and you will still be stupid and poorer!!!! Serves you dumb fucks right!!!! you get what you deserve!!! Enjoy being unemployed!!!!

[smrio]

Ted is right and so are alot of other people. Dont let congress giveaway a bunch of $money$.

[dellsprospects22]

they want your 401, they're giving it to the SS, go look at my bulletin

[smrio]

well im not fortunate enough to have 401 and my SS is already gone. Washington should just stop giving money away period, otherwise they might find a mob of angry-ass civilians prepping to bumb rush congress.

[dellsprospects22]

i don't know whether to go on a hunger strike or save my energy to protest, if someone doesn't do something i don't know where the fucking lawyers are and justice department is? maybe i'll call the US marshalls next? it's time for the soldiers to refuse to fight in iraq, arrest paulson, and the war criminal cabal, we've got people chaining themselves to their houses, living in tents, soup kitchens are outta food, unemployement at 10 million, it's a mess!

[smrio]

i agree

[KILLAMANJARO3]

and we wonder why there are still bush lovers out there thinking he was such a great president!

[dellsprospects22]

it wasn't just him, you can thank clinton and nafta for exporting raw materials and manufacturing jobs (and me wasting half a day trying to fix a bunch of made in china shotty furniture set-trust me i wouldn't buy it someone gave it to me)that's filling up our landfills!

[KILLAMANJARO3]

ok dellsprospects22 i am open to what u have stated,still think clinton was one of our better presidents. some shoddy stuff comes from china,agree. but wonderful bush has gone and signed a nafta agreement with 3 other countries about 3 weeks prior to the election of obama. could he stop doing stupid shit for just once? just what america needs, more of our jobs going overseas, at a time of economic meltdown. hope bush/company get imprisoned 4 war crimes, 2 bad they cant get them on all crimes.

[dellsprospects22]

you're talking about the 2005 security and prosperity partnership (not the north american union by god) trans texas corridor deal to bring slave labor communist chinese goods through the panama canal without going through us tariff ports..or the most recent andean trade?

[FriedDaisy]

NAFTA was Pres George H. W. Bush's deal. A final agreement on the plan between the U.S., Canada & Mexico was reached in August 1992 & signed by Bush in October 1992. Clinton had no choice but "make good" on Bush's promise, but tired to lessen the negative impacts on our environment & workforce w/ the addition of NAAEC and NAALC. NAFTA was ratified by Congress on the last day of its 1993 session. If you look at the voting record, you'll see that it was the Republicans who made it happen.

[dellsprospects22]

i don't think it's a partisan argument, that is exhausted, it's more about whose got the biggest lobby anymore

[dellsprospects22]

or we could talk about hb1 visa, but i'm getting crankier maybe later

[KILLAMANJARO3]

ok later. not sure what hb1 visa is? the whole dang thing makes me cranky. i am open to debate.

[2ndAmendment1]

I hope those that voted for bush are in the PINK slip line. Bush could give a shit for you 'blue collar workers' He is for the RICH by the RICH and can GO TO HELL WITH the RICH... WE know they are heading that way!

[KILLAMANJARO3]

2ndamendment1... i am right with you! bush had a huge hand in destroying this nation in so many ways and he apologizes about a week ago about the financial state of our nation on his watch? what a hypocrite lying asshole, he put us here with a lie of a war and 10 million a month going to that war. and to dellsprospects22, wanted to add: at least when clinton signed nafta we were very economically stable. why would bush sign nafta when we are looking at great depression times. he deserves prison!

[MrHairyNutz]

Obama is right up there with him in that catagory

[stingray7597]

I am sure he drove his prius to Atlanta to appear on cnn. I am sure he is shuttled between private jets with Black Suburbans and Escalades. What a dumbass, he has lost his mind.

[RMGSMG]

Go Ted!
