I'm so glad someone said something about climate change. This is not some joke. You saw the TYT video. We broke more than 3,000 heat records this year alone.
Yes, but I somehow doubt anyone of them are going to talk about it but there are petitions going around asking for both candidates to talk about it during the debate.
Last election was about "Change we can believe in" now it's "Hope we can believe in". I hope he goes through with something at least. I hope he reduces the deficit as much as he can.
I agree 100%. It's always reassuring to see people in the comments who have broken free of the tribalism. And it's important for us to speak out so that others know that they have an alternative choice. I really wish Cenk would see the light on this, as he commands a sizable audience.
I'm not a huge fan of the lottery myself, but I urge you to go back and listen to the context. I respectfully believe there was some misunderstanding on your part. I was certainly not 'blown away' by this speech, but that is a different matter entirely :)
Obama was not saying he was hopeful because a guy won the lottery; he said the fact that the man came to work at a factory, every day, after he won the lottery was inspiring and gave him hope.
I'm glad Romney stands no shot. It'd be terrible to see our country reverse what progress we have made. It may not be a enormous amount but progress is progress.
Once British Liberal Democrat Leader Charles Kennedy (back when they were both Liberal and Democrats) was asked whether he felt like a hypocrite with a healthy school meals platform whilst his conference was sponsored by McDonalds. He replied "Absa-bloody-loutley! That's why I have also put public funding of elections on the platform"
I was an ardent obama supporter unti I found out that he uses change to promote his career. I think John McCain is a visionary for seeing that very early.
Voting for the "lesser of two evils" means that your vote will be taken for granted. Your voice will not be heard. I intend to vote my conscience, and I hope everyone else does also. The only people that win when voters stick to "the party line", are the politicians and the rich. We regular people end up being taken for granted.
Not defending Romney but you are wrong. Romney Sr. was born to US citizens in Mexico, making him a US citizen according to the US constitution. This is why he was eligible to run for president even though he was born outside the US, he was a citizen at birth.
Economic growth was at an all time high when taxes were higher, "no one I have ever known has said oh i don't wanna make this investment because I'll pay more in taxes" -Warren Buffet releasing 48 billion tons of an endothermic chemical a year for 60+ years while reducing the number of trees that can convert it to oxygen will have a negative result on planetary temperatures. temperatures have never changed this rapidly without a major natural disaster as far back as ice cores have recorded
"I will never agree to tax cuts for the rich" To be clear, he said he won't do it if it means higher taxes for the middle class. I hope he sticks to it, though.
Obama is the man. His family is exceptional. His policies aren't all the best, but I believe he's much more for the poor/working class/middle class than Mitt Romney.
Yeah. The sad thing is that a lot of his interviewers allowed him to get away with it for most of this campaign. They don't ever ask him WHY he says Obama isn't American so he has never had to answer for the despicable attacks. I hope Obama comes out during the debate and calls him racist WHEN he tries to make that assertion.
3) Lets not forget that BHO issued a "preliminary commitment" letter thru the Export-Import Bank to lend $s to Brazil's state-owned oil company, Petrobras for "$2 billion" & has discussed with Brazil possibility of increasing that amount in Apr 2009, & of course has more or less completely stopped & blocked any US company searching & drilling for oil in the US. mmm, isn't Sorus involved with Petrobras? Seems I heard he bought a lot of stock in the company just prior to Aug of that year
Ok, I'll explain. In order to pay for benefits today, governments issue IOU:s from foreign investors/banks which is basically promises that they in the future tax their people to pay off the debt. In essense, we consume stuff which we force our unborn children to pay for in the future - i.e. selling out our unborn children. In any other circumstance, having a child inherent the debt of his parents is highly immoral, but not when states do it!? Am I just weak-minded, or do I have a point?
He said it because he was a lottery winner. He said it because one hard-working man eventually became wealthy. He became rich by winning the lotto. He implied that he earned the lotto through his hard work. But both are unrelated. His reward for hard work is the money he earns for it. The lotto was a separate thing. How many other people work hard? They should be inspiring too. Not just one lotto winner. The lotto money is not earned. That's the problem I have with that.
I was pointing out that he raised taxes and also cut taxes, just as the Republican god, Reagan, did. The dude I was talking to was bashing Obama for raising taxes.

Nationalizing healthcare is a good thing for those who cannot afford it. And he's raising taxes on the rich, not the poor. And those are the companies who are using foreign money, not us.
How is Comrade Obama anywhere NEAR Romney in the polls with this mess? ANY Republican and nearly any Democrat could have gotten unemployment down to 7% after an ENTIRE term. We need to spend LESS, not tax MORE.
Obama: "Read my lips: no more tax cuts." There we go. He's said it on record. Now, if/when he goes back on that, let's replay that part over and over again. Not even the Obamabots would defend him then.
at this point, does it matter who's "more or less" evil? It's Hitler vs Godzilla - who gives a fuck how many families they've destroyed each - they BOTH have to go
If I had to give up my deduction on the home, I would walk from it. Why spend all the money on owning? Why take care of a home, put the life energy into it? I would just rent or live in an RV!
The volume on Obama is so low so I have to put my volume up. Then when it cuts back to Cenk he's so fucking loud that no matter what he says I'm annoyed.
I remember in a speech a few yrs back and i must admit to not remembering which one....BO said he was going to have to upset a lot of very important people. Well BO when are you going to start upsetting them? Or was the important people some of the 99% who know what's going on?
If only I can remember the specific example I read from a textbook to combat your comment but alas I can't. What can say is that I would love a multiple party system, but it can only be feasible with the Alternative Vote system.
lol 4:51 sasha and malia are like "uhh whatever that means *stands up*"
He did end up keeping his word about raising taxes on millionaires :)
Cenk, I have to hand it to you, if I had said "Accomplamish", I would have died laughing and had to cut the video. You just kept on rollin'! :D
Love ya man but I can't hear your videos coming out of NYC.
I'm so glad someone said something about climate change. This is not some joke. You saw the TYT video. We broke more than 3,000 heat records this year alone.
why are Cenks videos so very quiet? turn up the volume, TYT!
I hate having to strain my ears for Cenk only to get them blasted by Anna afterwards.
Could you make an analisis of the speech in the video "Message to the Voting Cattle" by Larken Rose?
What so similar about sperms and lawyers? One out of a million might just become a human.
Obama and Mitt Romney both went to Harvard Law School. so pick one lol
Yes, but I somehow doubt anyone of them are going to talk about it but there are petitions going around asking for both candidates to talk about it during the debate.
Bowing is a sign of respect, not a sign of cowardice. Respect is a great quality in a leader.
Cenk ought to write an article on his HuffPo blog: Obama's read my lips moment.
turn up the volume, Young Turks! it's way lower than other TH-cam channels!
shit, that part about the girl winning recognition at a science fair and being homeless made me cry. Now that's inspiring :)
thanks cenk i'am learning so much
Last election was about "Change we can believe in" now it's "Hope we can believe in". I hope he goes through with something at least. I hope he reduces the deficit as much as he can.
why is cenk's volume always so low? so much quieter than anna's.
Because he's not in the studio at the moment. I think he's actually AT these conventions. Or was while they were going on.
Loved this speech. Good substance, right amount of energy toward the end!
Brilliant response. I'm glad I've now been enlightened. Thank you.
THANK YOU!!! I thought it was just me going deaf or my speakers T^T i'm so glad to find out i'm not the only one.
Where was this talk before the campaign?
I agree 100%. It's always reassuring to see people in the comments who have broken free of the tribalism. And it's important for us to speak out so that others know that they have an alternative choice. I really wish Cenk would see the light on this, as he commands a sizable audience.

TURN CENKS VIDEOS UP!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!
Here's an idea. Turn your volume up and chill.
Obama is like the Michael Jackson of giving speeches.
thank you!!!
6:29 "I hope to god that's true" Cenk doesn't believe in god. Neither do I but i found that funny
@TheYoungTurks
YOUR SOUND GUY NEEDS TO PAY CLOSER ATTENTION.
TURN.
THE.
VOLUME.
UP.
"Read my lips X" promises aren't applicable to second-terms.
Reguardless if you like Obama, I honestly think he's a REALLY good and charismatic speaker.
Obama was not saying he was hopeful because a guy won the lottery; he said the fact that the man came to work at a factory, every day, after he won the lottery was inspiring and gave him hope.
I meant "educate yourself" as a general, not directed at you specifically.
I'm glad Romney stands no shot. It'd be terrible to see our country reverse what progress we have made. It may not be a enormous amount but progress is progress.
Oh ok, I actually agree with you there. All the political "fluff" where they turn politicians into a "reality" show.
I am not talking about legislations, I am talking about financing his campaign during the runoff against McCain.

Fix your sound , anas segments sound fine buy cenks are always so low

not voting is one of the freedom of democracy.
What the hell is wrong with the sound on the Obama clips? The quality of these videos really are doing horrible ...
It's called grammar and in the words of Bill Clinton "it takes some brass to attack a guy for doing what you did."
It's worked out pretty well for us scandinavians actually.
*auto worker

RNC should have invited Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Limbaugh, Beck, and superstar Palin

obama could do much in his first term but what he did get done was amazing
turn up the sound....
Wait never mind were you on my side? I just did 5 full minutes of research and the truth is: I am way too young to remember that election.
No politician is going to change if some people stop voting, all that will happen is they'll instead appeal to the few people who are voting.
Am I the only one that's still thinking about Invisible Obama even now?

LOL I'm sorry for replying to you with that paragraph.
Wouldn't YOU avoid an 8.3% unemployment number? Romney avoids being 47th out of 50th in job creation in mass. Big deal.

You know he isn't doing crap on campaign finance reform
Once again Obama proves he is one of the best speakers.
SO DAMN CONVINCING.
He said it because he was a lottery winner. He said it because one hard-working man eventually became wealthy. He became rich by winning the lotto. He implied that he earned the lotto through his hard work. But both are unrelated. His reward for hard work is the money he earns for it. The lotto was a separate thing.

You are easier to fool than a drunk girl at a bar. All he had to do was have daughters to fool you. nice.
cenk is like this most of the time..sometimes we need emotion....we need some shouting at these politicians.

Obama speaks so very powerfully. He's a moving orator. It's a pity his actions don't match up to the rhetoric.
I HATE the word *Compromise* now.

they cheer because history shows that increases in taxes could actually stimulate growth and circulate money throughout the economy more easily
at this point, does it matter who's "more or less" evil? It's Hitler vs Godzilla - who gives a fuck how many families they've destroyed each - they BOTH have to go
What did Obama do for "independence from foreign oil" ?
Well said.
Obama's the fucking man, i like his bipartisan standing, shows he wants to work together. That's how he's going to win the undecided voters.
DNC kicked the RNC's ass to the max.
Maybe just maybe Michelle have given Barack the spine we so long have been asking for.
Well, it IS bold, to call it a compromise.
they were upset 2 weeks into Obama's first term are you kidding?
If I had to give up my deduction on the home, I would walk from it. Why spend all the money on owning? Why take care of a home, put the life energy into it? I would just rent or live in an RV!
How would foreign corporations start taking over our country from taxes?
The volume on Obama is so low so I have to put my volume up. Then when it cuts back to Cenk he's so fucking loud that no matter what he says I'm annoyed.
I disagree. Romney wants to fire Bernanke, end quantitative easing, and audit the fed. That's more than enough to get my vote.
I remember in a speech a few yrs back and i must admit to not remembering which one....BO said he was going to have to upset a lot of very important people. Well BO when are you going to start upsetting them? Or was the important people some of the 99% who know what's going on?
