  • Nice to see someone can see the big picture! I subscribed !!!

  • He is right. Listen to this man. Elizabeth Warren is an honest woman, who will within her powers, enforce the regulations needed to protect the consumers. However, the banks and people empowered, still want to rob us. So corrupt, and we just do nothing about it. I think we will only stand up once we have nothing to eat.

  • Well I see the Spineless Prick of a President has thrown the best woman for the job off the boat so he can get some more of his buddies to donate to his next years campaign. You know I really don't care what color this Trained house BOY is, he's just another disingenuous BOY with a MAN'S JOB! For all of you who have the money to get out of this Country I would leave before you make yourself Sick watching this FIASCO unfold for next year. This jerk off has No Moral Compass.

  • Elizabeth Warren to replace Scott Brown in Ted Kennedy's old Senate seat, please...

  • Who are the bank going to get all that money from? Stupid people who put there money in the banks, not Credit Unions... That all ready HIGHLY REGULATED!! TAKE YOUR MONEY OUT OF BANKS... That will help them pay US BACK! With no money, they will have to use there own money!

  • She I hope will be the one to save us from wall street dumb asses.

  • Elizabeth Warren is a fair individual .... shes no feminist.... and she knows who needs to be regulated.

  • @themaniusedtob they should come to ur house....

  • @bobalu1000 huh? oookay

  • You would have to a world class fool to do your banking with a bank when a credit union exists. Why would you want to lose money pay hidden surcharges and be set up to stumble into fee's you never saw coming? Why would you trust your assets with a thief when a trusted entity exists?

  • If President Oboma passes on Elizabeth Warren as acting head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau then he has DEFINATELY lost my vote in 2012. Time for Oboma to show some fucking spine and courage and ACTUALY do something to reign in these Banks and Wall Street. Unregulated GREED is this countries CANCER and its way past time to CURE IT.

  • @MichaelPAUSA ummm she is closet thing to a cure to that right right now in the political world....she scares the banks....you or obama dont scare them

  • Elizabeth Warren isn’t in trouble, she is fine. Without her, the rest of us are screwed.

  • @Festool4 go socailst, go warren

  • Wow this guy has more integrity than John Stewards.

  • ANOTHER SLICE of FREEDOM (GONE) !! When will it STOP,O thats right its not until we make it STOP!!!

  • Love me some Lizzy Warren.

  • Elizabeth Warren's great.

  • I just watched this video again after today's news.

  • pessimism FAIL

  • @rsrs17 Cenk was right. You haven't been paying attention.

  • Obama is appointing Warren. Think she'll be allowed to do her job? Yeah right.

  • @Asymmatrix Obama is a corporate Democrat at best. Obama is a big time supporter of capitalism. So to hear teabaggers call President Obama a socialist is a fuckin joke. As far as Warren goes. Let's just hope Obama let's her do her job w/o any restraints. But knowing how tight Obama and Goldman Sachs is. You could very well be right.

  • @HarveyRex23 Warren's position is an 'advisor,' she's helping to 'set up' the bureau. Obama sold out yet again. Unreal.

  • @HarveyRex23

    Deadbeats Vs Obama Team

    Advise from Elizebeth Warren stated that credit card companies has special word for those who owe moneys, deadbeats.

    Are your listening? Obama, Pelosi, and Reid Team? >>>>Deadbeats.

    Sincerely you still owe us $,

    China

  • @yesilike101 The Democrats are not the only ones responsible for America's debt crisis you dumb ass. This was a joint effort as far as both Republican and Democratic Administrations. And congress from both sides are concerned. I don't think anyone's denying the fact that China has America by the balls. Anyways, where were the Republicans concerns about running up the debt ceiling when they were in charge from 2000 thru 2006? No, both parties are responsible for this fiscal mess.

  • @yesilike101 You're not going to get away with just blaming Democrats. You goddam well know Republicans had a hand in this as well. The more reason why we need more third party candidates running against members of the two party corporate establishment.

  • @HarveyRex23 is no only obama, u can track this goverment setup since JFK was killed. we dont even know who's running the country, obama is just a puppet but he gives good speeches though

  • Thank you for this video! We need Elizabeth Warren and more like her!

  • I cant stand to listen to this creep!

  • Gold sacks the prez? na I think the fed could be closer to the truth and who controls that ?!ummm not the people that's for sure as they themselves have said " the fed is above the law"

  • If Elizabeth Warren doesn't get the nomination, She should run against Scott Brown for U.S. Senate in 2012. Hey If I lived in Massachusetts she would have my vote.

  • The turk might slowly be finding a glimmer of inteligence in that fat head of his.

  • Just goes to prove that Goldman-Sachs is the president of the U.S., not Obama.

  • uh...okay i cant believe this is even an issue but there's people selling new price stuff with refurbished parts this is consumer fraud

  • WE NEED ELIZABETH WARREN OMG

  • @KatrinaNation: WH (& others) indicate Elizabeth Warren 2 be nominated next week to head Consumer Financial Protection Agency. Kudos 2 all who worked 4 her.

  • How many times can Obama throw progressives under the bus and still keep our loyalty? I've about had it. This isn't even a heavy lift. He just makes the appointment and we all cheer - happy ending. Americans TRUST Elizabeth Warren. If Obama wants confident consumers, he's got to give us government we can trust!

  • this is why the democracts suck, this is her baby, she should be the frist one, but no, gotta get our retriment funds in check and obey our bosses on wall street, and put in a guy thats NOT going to do a damn thing to regulate the banks or wall street. pathetic, the democracts are turly pathetic, not even the lib dem tory coalition goverment in the uk is this bad.

  • President Obama better get his act together and disconnect Goldman Sachs from his hip...get rid of Geitner and do the right thing for the American people. We want Elizabeth Warren and we need her now!!!!!!!! Honest = controversial????? Since when?

  • They want to do to her what they did to Brooksly Boorne.

  • The left wingers are generally too busy attacking the right wing to see that the left is no different.

    That will flip around when the right is back in power.

    You ain't getting change. Give up you hope for it and move along.

  • @Paetaor actually traditionally the left is too busy defending itself from attacks on the right and unable to rally around forming and promoting their own agenda. I wonder why you like to lobby for others to give up hope and commit to cynicism in general. Sounds like a bunch of tea-bagger nonsense to me what you're saying.

  • @Paetaor its not that the left side is no different.. it's just that what you guyz think is left wing actually isn't.. Obama and the democrats aren't really left wingers.. they're just a bit more center-right than the republicans.. but compared to real left or center-left parties in other countries, they look fkn more to the right

  • stop asking for change from obama.. i think its been long enough to realize that that dude wont ever bring change. 

  • @MTRMaiden i think he's changed a lot actually. Its fact more than opinion.

  • @MTRMaiden Obama will produce change by encouraging Americans who were on the fence to move to Canada.

  • Obama is the biggest coward in government. Of course he won't appoint her.

  • @palinsbutthole I don't think he's a coward. I think it's all planned.. which is a lot worse, I think.

  • Warren does not stand a chance to be confirmed by the Senate. With conservative Democrats like Bayh, Conrad, Nelson, Landrieu, Baucus, Lincoln, Lieberman, etc, I don't see how Mrs nationalize-the-banks can possibly be appointed . Progressives are in a position of disadvantage, the GOP is a unified conservative front, the Democratic party has 11 conservative leaning Democrats in the Senate, and while the Dems are a majority, in reality conservatives (Dem or GOP) are the majority.

  • Elizabeth Warren seems like a dumb cunt like the rest of them, but if the banks don't like her then I'm all for her.

  • @SwampThizzle she's not, look her up...

  • @marcodavidconde I checked her out. She's alright actually. She was interviewed for Michael Moore's latest documentary.

  • Obama is a spineless piece of shit. If he REALLY wanted to follow through on his "Change" campaign promise, he would place Ms. Warren at the head of this deal. The American people are getting fucked with no lube. The scumbag banks suck ass. They don't give a fuck about anything but themselves. Those greedy fucksticks need to be doing business out in the open. They need MASSIVE oversight or we're fucked.

  • The female version of Ralph Nader, it's no surprise the powers that be won't let her have a position that will stop them from ripping us off! Warren predicted that this regulatory entity she runs would be betrayed and crushed back in Jan 2010 by the dems because they're just as guilty of protecting the banks as the republicans are, if Obama's decision is to let this great woman go, then fuck him and his worthless administration. Wake up real liberals and progressives, you're supporting the enemy

  • i was holding on to hope seriously i wanted obama to be OK but seriously he is a little bitch and i hope someone else like Grayson or someone gets elected coz this is bullshit

  • Cenk you need to do this on MSNBC

  • Cenk is making a senerio up. And then imagining an Ideology. based on not-reality.

    ---

    :P

  • @Joxman2k Look who's talking. lol

  • @Joxman2k So what exactly is he making up? Do you not believe that Elizabeth Warren would be a good person to head Consumer Protection? Or do you not believe that the administration has a vested interest in keeping people like Elizabeth Warren out?

  • @travisjamesmajor

    I'm not exactly sure of what I was talking about.

    :P

  • Fuck the media.

  • besides, cenk likes to talk about how obam ahasn't done anything to change the system. The man has done more in his first year than any other president before him in modern times. He has 15 legislative accomplishment in his first year alone, not including health care or financial reform this year to. how many did bush or clinton, or even any other memorable president have in his first year. Honestly cenk if you have so many solutions, run for office and stop yapping on podcasts.

  • @jamaicanification

    None of which he supported outright, all of which were deep comprimes with the right, and interestingly, he's still labeled a socialist.....You get what you pay for; however, in this case we were promised change and we got the status quo. Look at his campaign contributors, the people that paid for Obama to support the only socialist thing his administration can be accused of: the public bailout. HAHA, his administrations is a laugh. Geithner and the lot.

  • is cenk still screaming about obama selling out again. Man, for a guy who likes to point fingers, i'd like to see how good he does in the white house. He talks about obama selling out? he probably couldn't even get anything done if he was president. If he has so many dam solutions why doesn't he run for president and give us these solutions? Why doesn't he show us how "easy" it is to bring change. He talks about obama being a coward. At least he had the balls to take the office of president

  • @jamaicanification Why are you making this about cenk?  Why are you criticizing him for criticizing Obama? Americans have the right to criticize what Obama does because he is the president and this is our country. Obama has severely compromised his presidency by constantly trying to appeasing the right.

  • @jamaicanification

    It doesn't take balls to be president, or even run for president. Exhibit A: Hillary Clinton. Leaving out the humor, however, running for office is about connections and money. Nothing more. You're supposed to be a Trustee for the people, not corporations.

    Easy it is to bring change! Are you kidding me? They hold the majority in both houses of Congress!!!!! And he's the president. Get out of fairy tale land and stop dismissing the facts.

  • Fuck Obama. I'm so sick of this. What did I vote for? Fuck him.

  • @normalais you voted for 32 million americans getting covered by health insurance. you voted for the toughest financial regulations since the great depression. You voted for the fact that the image of america around the world has rebounded seven fold since obama took office.you voted for the fact that a jobs situation that was 700,000 losses a month is now turned around to 290,000 jobs being created. just saying

  • @normalais

    It is interesting. Of all the people who talked about Obama, the great things he was going to do, he'd actually keep his promises, not raise taxes (until Jan 1 2011) and it was all a bit.

    And some of the furthest left people I've ever known, are completely upset and unhappy.

    As Cenk says, its not about the people. It is about satisfying the Status quo and the top campaign contributors.

    That's all that matters.

  • @normalais

    word

  • JFK was americas last real president

  • @selfsenter

    I would go so far as to say FDR was our last real president. And the most beloved as well.......

  • i love that cenk is one of the few people who really care and isnt afraid t show it

  • No, you don't understand. Elizibeth Warren will hurt Goldman-Sachs feelings

  • Elizabeth Warren appears on a few PBS Frontline docs, she appears intelligent, and level minded!

    So for, I have nothing but respect for her.

  • @seanlaca You are willing to accept defeat without struggle. Your comment in spite of innumeral thumbs up from like defeatists is blatant exaggeration. You and those who agree with you cannot see that struggle is as constant as change. Join the fray. You win some and you lose some. Cenk knows it.

  • nope, they couldn't put her in charge, she might actually.... i don't know.... regulate shit.

  • Obama is the biggest pussy I have ever seen !!!! I will never vote for him again. I hope someone else will run against him. He is worse than Jimmy Carter!

    S

  • @StyngRay1

    well, as the saying goes, between two evils, make sure to choose the lesser. and yes it does suck.

  • I remember the first time she popped up on TDS, and they were like, "What happened to our money?" and she was like, "Uuuuh, I dunno."

    No, they could easily get her through. She'd be good. Everyone knows this.

  • Warren wants to make real change in the system and has some good ideas. Those people never get appointed to anything.

  • we havent had a good guy since kennedy.

  • If you let banks continue to charge you over and over than it is not the banks fault.

    withdraw your money out of that bank

  • I don't want someone who is buddy with the system. I want someone who will beat the hell out of the system.

  • Cenk you really need to watch the obama deception all of this and all this would make a lot of scene to you.

  • Republicans are full of it, so are Democrats. We need a real progressive party to vote for. Oh and don't mention the Libertarian loony Wrong Paul.

  • Sometimes I think we'd be better off if we really banded together and forced Washington D.C. out of the union.

  • "It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly American criminal class except Congress."  Mark Twain

  • Comment removed

  • "Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." Mark Twain

  • "A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain." Mark Twain

  • Cenk it would be really helpful if you would link to the articles that you mention and get your information from. For example I would Google the article you mentioned but I have no idea how to spell the name. Please link so we can read through these articles as well!

  • get this straight! Obowma is far more interested in stacking these boards with gender and race activists. This is NOT regulating, it's social engineering

  • Cenk is pretty cool. Glad he's on our side now... has come to the light.

    Elizabeth Warren will be great, another heroic Brooksley Born.

    PBD Frontline; The Warning is harder to google up now for some reason I can't find it.

  • The ideal solution is to put the federal government completely in charge of the banking system. Abolish the privately-run Fed, and give local banks authority as representatives of the government, with salaries paid based on bank performance. That way, when there is a war and the government needs money, or they take a bad risk, or monetary value fluctuates, or whatever happens, taxpayer money goes back in the bank to insure the deposits and doesn't line the bankers' pockets like this bailout did.

  • Cenk, I think everyone who fights about regulation/deregulation is missing the point. The whole banking system is rubbish because they make money from nothing. When you open a savings account, the bank owes you that money, plus interest. BUT, when you open a checking account, they charge for every late payment, every time you go over a daily limit, so they can make their profit, and then from that pay the interest for other people: ironically, they have to risk those deposits to maximize profit.

  • the boy needs to maintain his connections to pay for his mortgage Cenk, so writes that tripe to appease his owners....he rationalize this because "I am Doing good...need to be in this position to continue to do go...I good" I have zero tolarence for mainstream "Libreal, Progressive" columinst...as to the Obama administration as other's have said Cenk...Just Give it up man...Give up the Ghost he is a corprate hack who was branded well...Oboma is the succussful New Coke campaign

  • Cenk, please talk about Elizabeth Warren on your commentary on MSNBC later this week.

  • Lets be real, Obama is probably one of the dumbest presidents in history 2nd only to George W Bush. Hes not doing anything to satisfy the people who voted him into power, and hes not gaining any votes from the other side while doing it, seriously where is the strategy in that?

    We need to find a 2012 presidential candidate that can run on an independent party and get that campaign moving

  • @wpolo1087 - Not really. Pres Obama is quite capable as shown on IQ tests. As a trustworthy or ethical human being though, he's fallen way below average.

  • Passing on Ms. Warren will be Obama's categorical failure as a Democrat and a man.

  • -Intellectual rap gets zero radio play.

    -Honest people can't be politicians.

    -Positive thoughtful youtube videos get no views.

    Solja boy gets radio play

    all politicians are liers

    Videos such as charlie bit my finger and ray william johnson have hundred million viewers...

    Why try hard to do well when you're better off not trying at all.

  • @bevon17 I just finished saying to another user that "Cynicism is often just a mark of laziness." This post of yours just proved me correct.

  • @LeLimeLine

    I just finished saying to another user to stop trying to get an intellectual ONE UP on youtube because you're wasting your damn time.

    you just proved me correct.

    I'm sure you'll attempt to respond .... thus proving my point even further, so feel free to save your time and stop... I'll save my time and ignore you if you write back

    ok bye now..

  • @bevon17 ON a bit of a tangent, Ray William Johnson's previous show was great. Political Gangsta - making fun of the stupid shit in politics.  He wouldn't have been able to do that, though, with the job he was offered.

    I agree, his new show is shit. Unfortunate:(

  • @bevon17 because sometimes when you try, you can be sucessful in changing things, like MLK or Team Canada at the Vancouver games.

  • maybe if most of the ppl in power didnt have white hair, maybe there would be some progressive action.

  • @wockyky to be replaced by younger people with bow ties who are just as eager to assume the status quo position. like tim geithner

  • I think the Banks and the huge corparations run the country as well.

  • Who do you think run this country? You really think the're going to stop the gravy train of free cash? WAKE UP SILENT MAJORITY, WHEN U GUNNA WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • As happy as I was when Obama won the election my happiness was ended when Obama hired his first person (Gietner). At that point I knew this whole "Change" thing was a scam. Now the one person that asked the hard questions when she was grilling Gietner and trying to expose this guy for the scum bag he is, is not being taken seriously for this position. It kills me how corrupt this country is. Change?!?!?! Yeah right!

  • Uhh... America? You do know that Companies have been the leaders of your country since the 50's right?

  • ROFL!!!!!!! Cenk is just a clown!!! Still sucking on Obama's root!

  • You think Mr. Obama is going to confirm this Highly Intelligent Moral Upstanding figure to watch the American Peoples Interest? he he he...They only know how to STEAL not SAVE OUR ASS. It's all about the Money Boys. Lets do one thing very soon and meet Geithner on the steps of the White House and make him a Deal He Can't Refuse. Be Impeached or Be ___________?!

  • Cenk and TYT 100% correct, 0% wrong. Obama will never allow Warren as head of the CFPB. They shot down Brooksley Born back in the late 90s and they will shoot down Warren as well.

  • Somebody else 2012. Come on. ANYBODY. 

  • Under the law the Secretary of the Treasury is interim head of the consumer financial protection bureau until the President appoints someone as Director and the senate confirms them.

    So Tim Geithner is in charge until there's an actual director appointed and confirmed!

  • If Geithner is not in favor of  Prof. Warren as the nominee, then Warren is perfect for the post !

  • Cenk dont fool yourself, obama doesnt run shit anymore, he dont want no drama!!

  • More of the same.  Who's REALLY running the country?

  • what can we do if they don't put warren in?

  • Obama rose to power in Cook County, aka Crook County, that should tell you everything. Which is why I voted 3rd party.

  • The federal reserve . that is it ! That is the cause of most of the USA and the world problems. Yeah! and stupid people too!

  • People should realize that the way to go is (1) save money (2) keep your money out of the bank. If they did that, there's no way for the banks to screw them over.

  • "Obama pissing on Elizabeth Warren".

  • go liz go!!!

  • Here is the Test for the TYT Army send this link directly to the white house

  • She is not Jewish no chance of her being confirmed. For example 40% of the Supreme Court is now Jewish, 100% of the Media owners, head of the Federal Reserve, State Department.

    Watch her Harvard Presentation "The End of the Middle Class" It is superb.

  • Libertarian point of view is the correct one on this: get the government out of economy so that it can't 'redistribute' everybody's money to the richest, which is what government is doing every single day, get the government out of regulations and only have government doing justice/punishment, so that if anybody is doing wrong by the people they are punished.

    That's all a government can do. Nobody can 'run a big bureaucracy' and have a working economy/political system, no matter how smart.

  • Go Elizabeth Warren go !

  • BO is a corporatist stooge. I think this job would be perfect for Ralph Nader. That would keep the bastards on their toes.

  • Obama may be bad, but think about what if McCain had won.

  • Nice, nice...

  • Beautifully done sir

  • This is what i expected. Obama the corrupt bastard doesn't want to do anything to earn the trust and loyalty of the millions of people who voted for him. To be honest: i hope he's out of TWH come next election. Bloody dirtbag actually had MY hopes up in the beginning, and usually i don't trust America and american politicians one bit.

    I feel sad for all the good and decent people living in this horrible country. I don't know what it would take to change things.: I don't think it's possible.

  • Cenk Nice argument 4 Warren. After reading the"The Rise&FallOfTheRomanEmpire"the PATRIICANS(wealthyByYears) rulePLEBIANS(budgetByMonth)hav­e GAMED the system! The TRIBUNES(lawyers) protect Patricians while bleeding the Plebians in the name of Law&Order buyingTime thru the darkAges(Depression) until everyone forgets! This repetitive cycle does not occur in societies that regulate CapitalistCorporatism to capture the SuperRich who make & stand above the laws/loopHoles that protect them!

  • lolhesmad

  • getting warmer

  • I personally think the businesses should be able to charge whatever they like. It's up to competition to keep prices in check,..

  • @Yewon2001 do you mean competition when it serves the interests of big business? and then bailouts when it doesn't?

  • @ho2cultcha I'm totally against bailouts. I think a business that makes bad decisions need to go out of business. We a government that encourages businesses to grow and helps entrepreneurs to start new businesses (small businesses create 95% of all new jobs in this country...

  • The problem I have with warren is that you guys would expect way too much from her as you did Obama. Then the rest of us in the Dem party will have to listen to you progressives complain and complain about how she didn't live up to your high expectations. It almost makes me sick reading and listening to all this hype about the woman. Give it a rest cenk because ratagan is nothing but a bigmouth who shouts down his guest oreally style and you are starting to sound more and more like him.

  • @burntonion05 i'm a conservative libertarian and i say we need to reign in the central banks behind the federal reserve and she would help. real progressives And conservatives want change. others, well, don't

  • @sciencemunk Conservitives what change? Don't conservitives want things not to change by definition? And FYI, Liberals don't like Obama because he's right-winged and gets nothing done. Everyone wants change, exept the government.

  • @dave19941000 no no no no no. i'll put it to you this way. Obama is not a liberal he works for Goldman Sacs. Bush is not a conservative he works for Goldman Sacs. Mccain is not a moderate or conservative or maverick he works for Goldman Sacs. That's how that works. True liberals believe in civil liberties. True conservatives believe in civil liberties. and that's how that works. further, establishment republicans and democrats work for the banks that use the fed as a holding company. namely?

  • she was in Michael Moore's Capitolism: a Love Story. So you know the government doesn't like her. She's too honest.

  • Cenk, you keep peering down that dark tunnel over and over looking for a ray of hope. Dude, give it up. Obama doesn't run shit. He's a front man puppet. We are in a state of corporatism, which Mussolini called fascism. The banks own the system, brother.

  • @seanlaca

    Hallelujah

  • @seanlaca - I have to agree with you. All politicans are whores, they bend over for whomever gives them the money, Obama is no exception, I am very disappointed in him...we need to get rid of all the politicians.

  • @seanlaca  The UK is going the same way, Cameron is a complete bastard.

  • @seanlaca

    So we give up and let politicians run amok?

    Yes things look bad but you may as well be on their side.

    Your accepting their views as what we should have.

    There's been far worse political issues that have been dealt with, doing nothing didn't solve any of them.

  • @seanlaca the french helped themselves in the french revolution.. and maybe people are going to fight back again

  • @seanlaca Cynicism is often just a mark of laziness.

  • what is sticking out his ear? very distracting

  • who is elizabeth warren and why should we/I like her?

  • @daderone

    Google much..........

  • @robinhoodOO7 because there is just soo much on her right?

  • @daderone Seriously? You lived under a rock these past months! Check out interviews of her and see how she makes the case for customer protection. It's compelling and amazingly honest.

  • @P1ranh4 yes seriously and nobody has convinced me a bit. What is her case for 'customer protection'? Do you mean 'consumer protection'? What makes her the only one for the job. I'm confused why people are so easily bedazzled by some people and not others. I'll look for interviews but am as curious why you say so.

  • @daderone oh yes, consumer protection of course. For me her honesty is what is the "bedazzling" thing. She's not afraid to show how powerless she was when she had to oversee the bailout money and where it went to and her explanations are not too complicated, but still spot on on what's wrong. Of course she's not the only one who can do the job, but why not her? I guess you came around to see some interviews by now. Any chance she might be the woman for the job in your opinion as well now?
