THANK YOU FOR THE HIGH QUALITY PANEL. GREAT JOB! I am sick of panels that are "balanced" only because they have one democrat and one republican discussing the scoring of cheap political points.
This panel was fantastic. This entire discussion, in my opinion, was better than the debate. Amy Goodman, Clarence Page, and Bruce Fein were my favorite panelist(s they made great points. Amy made me wish she was running for President. Al Jazeera puts our news organizations in the US to shame, I cant stand FOX, CNN, and MSNBC (and others) all they do is present one sided views and distorted facts like the joke that is the O'Reilly factor. We need more programs like these in the US.
I can't say I agree with most of it but I completely agree with the last sentence, I feel like they use the people as a mean to do what they want but aren't actually their to serve the people like we would want them to
Very good discussion indeed! I supported the Arab Spring form the very beginning exactly because I wanted to see the issues being discussed in such a manner. We all know that this particular kind of criticism against the US would never be shown on some dictator's official channel, right? :)
Notice how the interviewees avoid directly saying "no, america isn't the best", because to directly say that is a cultural taboo; because it is understood such a statement would bring down scorn and accusations of unpatriotic behaviour. This demonstrates where the level of true discussion and discourse, let alone free speech really is in the US. From the viewpoint of another western nations the US can seem socially very juvenile.
It's true. Even though America is in decline, the entire world still depends strongly on it. If America suddenly didn't exist as we know it, the whole world will fall into economic decline and chaos.
We live in a plutocracy now. If Money is free speech, then some have more free speech than others. "some Animals are more free than others" -Animal Farm.
We as Americans cannot allow other countries to even think of opposing us. We must remain the top dog, our dollar shall live on as the worlds currency. Our military bases needs to expand, threaten other countries if needed.
When they say she was the first "African American communications director", I assume they means she communicated with African Americans, not she is an African American. There is more African American in Mr Bean than there is in her.
the usa is going to have to step back on it's military spending. it's a racket and it's a difficult racket to leave because the military industrial complex employs quite a lot of people and people can make quite a lot of money working for them. what new jobs are we going to give these highly skilled workers? we also need to up the ante some more on the government and let them know that they serve us and not the lobbyists/corporatists.
We did not break it. Gorbachev betrayed it and broke it to please his masters in the west who promised him wealth and prosperety for himself and his family. He is basically second after Judas.
I never said I did, i just said what I think would happen if the U.S went under and how it would effect the world im not saying im correct or not just what I think might happen . I'll be sure I type " I think " next time so people dont think I know more then economist
Sorry, but #BothSidesDont... it simply is not true that both parties are to blame for the deadlock. Some of us watch C Span: you can't pull that nonsense & get away with it!!!
What else can be say. All has been said many times before and in many different way. Not so long ago I ask and exsoldier of the USA. Why are you people really in IRAQ? ate first glanse he keep silance, but then he toll. It doesnt matter how many heads how to roll down, we will do what we must to keep our empire runing smooth right here at home, regarless of how much blood runs down upon the face of this earth. Do you guys think thats sad? or not at all?
You're insane, we mesure innovation and technology by the number of patents issued every year by that specific country and the US is still well above china and a fortiori europe and central europe.. so you're tottaly wrong
I have lived here all my life and I want to GET OUT! This discussion proves why I want to get out! Great work ALJ!
ALJ is one of the least biased programs. Keep up the good work ALJ
How depressing to view this while vividly remembering life in 2012...
Wished they would’ve done a 2020 cafe for Trump v Biden election . That would be intense.

No matter what, given our resources and population, we can't drift very far from "top dog".
Great discussion
Any legend out there who surfed here in 2021 ??
It's great debates missing the cafe
I can't say I agree with most of it but I completely agree with the last sentence, I feel like they use the people as a mean to do what they want but aren't actually their to serve the people like we would want them to
ohh I get your point
4:39 first time say Mehdi Hassan smiling on someone else's joke.
Very good discussion indeed! I supported the Arab Spring form the very beginning exactly because I wanted to see the issues being discussed in such a manner. We all know that this particular kind of criticism against the US would never be shown on some dictator's official channel, right? :)
Sue chin: sun yi, re:parations b/c Ronan’s flowers in the attikkk
Nice.
I miss the cafe:(
It's really not.
Amy Goodman introduces a new subject. They all ignore the new subject.
Nothing. He's right.
Well I think at this moment the world does depend on America and its economy. However, the question 10-20 years down the road, will still be that way?

I bet the British used to say that 70 years ago.
well, let me tell you something else, a lot of people would feel terrified if suddenly China or Russia happen to "deal" with them...
It's true. Even though America is in decline, the entire world still depends strongly on it. If America suddenly didn't exist as we know it, the whole world will fall into economic decline and chaos.
Amy Goodman should be President of the United States.
We are not the #1 country in the world, but everybody keeps playing along like they think we are, so we might as well play along with it as well.
We live in a plutocracy now.
If Money is free speech, then some have more free speech than others.
"some Animals are more free than others"
-Animal Farm.
It's through interpretation of the constitution that slavery was abolished

I think that Pakistani guy misspoke youth UNDEREMPLOYMENT is at around 50 percent not youth unemployment huge difference
Which is the least flawed?
US: Still #1?
Thank God No!
ikr why cant we just worry about us, i think the world would be better off that way
the usa is going to have to step back on it's military spending. it's a racket and it's a difficult racket to leave because the military industrial complex employs quite a lot of people and people can make quite a lot of money working for them. what new jobs are we going to give these highly skilled workers? we also need to up the ante some more on the government and let them know that they serve us and not the lobbyists/corporatists.
Why do we even need to be #1? Why can't we just be a normal country and let China deal with this crazy world?
Americans: Often wrong, never in Doubt
Not no. 1? then throw away your iPAD...or send it to me. I want your iPAD
We did not break it. Gorbachev betrayed it and broke it to please his masters in
the west who promised him wealth and prosperety for himself and his family. He is basically second after Judas.
you can not challenge america

Where is Mitt Romney's birth certificate?
I wish I could be a fly on the wall when one of your kids brings home a nonwhite.
yeah no shit if a huge part of the world just sank into the ocean that would happen. The idea that the world "depends" on the USA is just stupid.
yeah, she basically looked white. I don't know how anyone could describe her as the "first african-american" and keep a straight face.
u should have invited cenk uyger in his discussion
Sorry, but #BothSidesDont... it simply is not true that both parties are to blame for the deadlock. Some of us watch C Span: you can't pull that nonsense & get away with it!!!
Then why is Anders aroysed and staring at rashell in his locked Instagram profile.
Behind central europe in innovation and technology? Seriously, what are you smoking?
never understood this nonsensical quote. if anything, capitalism breeds envy and resentment, as the whole mentality is "acquire, acquire".
I know this is minor but Karen Finley doesnt look black too me. I thought she was Indian
I hope most Americans don't base their vote on appearance like you seem to do.
why doesn't anyone let the libretarian talk??
That's bullshit.

Mitt Romney and Obama Police state 2012.
I gave up as soon as I heard "power of the people". Gag me with a spoon.
You're insane, we mesure innovation and technology by the number of patents issued every year by that specific country and the US is still well above china and a fortiori europe and central europe.. so you're tottaly wrong
Your statement is ignorant. The majority of Americans were born in America. That is a fact.
It g on to ran on vinachola cow's and buflps and you can have,ahart atcket
