I am beating a dead horse but the Democratic party died when they crushed Bernies run for POTUS. The man has so much to be justifiably angry about, but all he does is bang out his policy ideas and calls out all the stupid shit people do on both sides of the aisle. He could be living a nice life as a private citizen, but he is driven to share the truth and be at least some resistance to the status quo.
Every single member of my family living in LA County has had their home burglarized. That's 100%. The police didn't even bother showing up, just told them to come down to the station and fill out a report. I'll wager that the number of unreported crimes is 3-4x the official crime stats.
My sister got one of those brand new heavy plastic tool boxes that goes across the front of the bed of your truck.. and opens from both sides. It was stolen right off her truck sitting in her driveway. Oh man' was she mad.. but other than that I don't remember anybody in my family being robbed' other than by the government' ofcourse.
You have nailed it Cenk. The Dems catering to the far left is just a ruse to appear left wing while still supporting the corporatocracy that is America.
As a foreigner from a developing country which has crime, I was shocked when my American friends in San Francisco insisted it was not safe for me to leave my laptop bag and purse in the parked car while we stepped out for 30 mins to grab a takeaway lunch. And then of course i was astounded to see the food prices in the supermarket and the number of houseless persons (and I was comparing to European cities on both). How is anyone surprised? Petty crime is common but car theft and house break-ins on the scale that was described to me seems horrific.
A lesson from history. Back in the 1930s, the Dust Bowl was ravaging the western and midwest states. Nobody cared. It wasn't until the dust storms reached the east coast cities that politicians, and people in general, decided to deal with the environmental disaster. Same, more or less, happened with the illegal migrant crisis. It wasn't until the border states began sending migrants to sanctuary cities that people started to give a shit about the problem. Democrats, however, refused to acknowledge it and called everyone who raised concern a racist. Now it's too late for progressives to change course, because they insisted on progressing themselves off a cliff. The Great Woke Choke is finally here, and pretty much the entire planet is celebrating.
I'm a conservative, who watches the show 3-4 times a week to check in. I love to here the difference in opinion because I know y'all are honest and want what's best. It's good to learn from people who think differently than I do. Thanks for doing a great job
It is adding injury to insult. When people are living paycheck to paycheck to hear from people like Joe Scarborough. That the US economy is going great what are complaining about.
Okay, disclaimer: I'm Australian, never been to the US. But reading news, reading people in forums and talking to them, there is a *lot* of pain in the US. I had an interesting argument in a Facebook group, and the topic turned to that of the polarisation in the US. I ended up arguing with Dems who had a bizarrely extreme position. I pointed out that I was seeing more and more moderate Republicans who were moving into the centre, and there was *nothing* in response from the left. I was shouted down, and I had to point out that I was left wing in Australia, which means to me the Dems and Republicans are both right wing parties, so I had no bias about being pro-Republican. Yeah, it was pretty clear the Dems were in a nose dive, and they were completely blind. Here in Oz if a party has a calamitous result they go into a huddle and face their problems, well usually. If the Dems don't change they won't be back in power, same for the Republicans if they abandon the centre.
Voting on policies is super hard in rural elections. Local media is broken. None of the non-presidential candidates on my ticket had any substantial interviews or debates. There was no news outlining their agenda. The campaign websites were filled with generic talking points, no specific policies.
In San Francisco, one of the things that people worry the most is crime and homelessness. I see this happening in Fresno, and it is very likely happening elsewhere. Average people don’t follow politics. They just see what is happening in their cities, and blame those in charge.
I agree with what you guys are saying and crime is a real thing. However, I think most leftists don’t like your takes on it because it feels a little reactionary, given that you kind of don’t offer solutions, like you do for every other issue. The only thing you say is “don’t listen to progressives on this issue”, but that’s not a solution either lol again, I agree that crime is a real issue a lot of leftists downplay but at the same time you all never seem to provide a plan to fix it either.
I saw a young black man throw his tennis shoes over the electrical wires. This transgression was so egregious I vowed I would never go out in public again. Oh the inhumanity.
I guess y'all also forgot that the prisons were overwhelmed and we had a pandemic going on which was unaliving people. Most of the people they released where people that wouldn't even be sitting in jail if they had money for bail but I guess y'all was alright with them possibly being unalived for a non violent offensive.
There was a court order that called for ameliorating overcrowding. Meanwhile, the state is running deficits with criticism that some of what’s wasted - at least in the sense of yielding worse returns in public dividends than other investment - is the industry of mass incarceration.
This Trump election could be the most significant election we have seen. I have never seen politicians and media shift so quickly closer to the common sense that Americans want, as we witnessed this last week.
Yes violent crime statistics are down from the highs of the 70's and 80's and 90's and even during Trump's administration. That's not the problem. Non violent crime has jumped across the country especially in Progressive Cities that is the problem. And what are Republicans going to actually do anyway? Seriously what? Homelessness is a problem in every city across the country in both Democrat and Republican States. Neither side in my 50 years has ever done anything to actually solve the issues behind homelessness. So don't try telling me that all of a sudden one side is going to fix it because you would be lying. Economic wise by every measure except for one particular measure everything is better now than under Trump. Wages are higher. GDP growth is higher. Stock Markets are higher. But none of this matters because of rising prices across the board. Now what are Republicans going to do Anna? What exactly?
I don't think Ana is saying she prefers Republicans, I think she's saying she wants the Democrats to do more (but I'm not American and I don't live in America so I have no idea about what crime is like there)
@JC-ce1ks : Interesting because I didn't say anything about Anna preferring Republicans or Democrats either. I was asking what does she think Republicans are going to do differently. ( I live in the United States and I have a damn good idea about the crime in this country for the past 35 years) .

@@briendoyle3823 Yeah I've been following American politics for around 6 years or so now and it mirrors our own here in the UK, apart from there seems to be even more corruption and hurdles to overcome (but it's becoming the same way over hear too).

Well what exactly do you want us to do about crime? The reason we progressives don't say anything about crime is because we know that if we have good economic policies, we won't have crime.
what to do? On average the US jurisdictions that increased prosecution saw drops in crime and those that reduced prosecution saw increases. We are not living in some Dickens era where people are stealing food to eat. What we are seeing is a hyper-predatory type of repeat crime by a small cadre of people who have learned why will not face meaningful prosecution. And like Ezra Klein I am a progressive who is sick and tired of Democrat soft on crime policies that demonstrate no care at all for the large pool of victims of crime.
@@johnfeier7889 What? No developed democracy counts crime that way. The crime occurs to the VICTIM regardless of whether perp is caught and prosecuted.
The way I discussed not being shocked with my mom, was to say: if you got a phone call out of the blue and learned a friend had been hit by a train, you would be shocked and sad. But if you looked out your window and saw your friend on the train tracks and yelled at them for four years to move bc a train was coming... And then they got hit, you wouldn't be shocked and you probably aren't even that sad. Independent Media is the window that allows you to know the trains are coming and who is on the tracks. The mainstream media just calls you on the phone after the fact to tell you what happened.
People like Ezra Klein always push the left/right paradigm. This is properly understood as a divide and conquer strategy. Notice how both "sides" show unlimited support for Israel
I was in San Francisco a few months ago. It was much cleaner than when I lived there--everything looked upgraded. Nicer public transport, nicer parks (with new guarded bathrooms!), very expensive looking housing, etc. Of course everyone in my income-bracket was priced out of the city long ago, so maybe people's standards are higher now. One thing I did notice however, was that there seemed to be fewer people walking on the streets everywhere I went. Fewer people on transit. Fewer people everywhere. The streets used to feel much more lively--in good and bad ways.
I appreciate that Ana is willing to say effectively "it doesn't make you a right winger to acknowledge that the criminals are running wild with no accountability for their actions, and the politicians are essentially encouraging it"
Which prosecutors are letting criminals "run wild with no accountability for their action"? Come on, name some names, and also specify the percentage of prosecutors who are doing this. Thanks in advance.
People LISTEN to Anna & Cenk then maybe the people who you want to win will actually win. She has what we in the rural south like to call common sense!
Usually I’m good with TYT and their somewhat balanced criticism of all sides of politics. But since the election, it seems that Cenk and Ana specially are doing some gloat tour about “how right we are” about the Dems AFTER joining in the correct criticism of a potential Trump presidency. Now it’s leaning totally to attacking Dems and Progressives, light criticism of the right, and “open minded” to all the things that they warned us about. Dont get mad at people saying you’re turning to the right when it clearly looks like you’re turning to the right.
Yep. That's what it looks like to me too. What good does blaming the Democrats do at this point? The Democrats are done. I guess it just makes them feel better. Poor butt hurt Ana. The left is annoying with their purity tests but I think they're directing their hate in the wrong direction.
Yep, you should take all the gangs from el Salvador. I am sure they will be good citizens because they are immigrants. What did thd Latino vote show you during this election, go and watch how they themselves don't want some immigration. I am not saying only immigrants cause violence, but it is one aspect. Lack of security brings fascism. If you can't understand this, then the left is doomed.
Ana no one thinks you are a secret right-winger, it's fairly well documented at this point that you are "leaving the left" I'm sure Dave Rubin and Tulsi Gabbard would be so proud.
What is the root of the problem? We need for social programs, livable wage, better schools (funding), paid family/sick leave, police reform, passing equality bill, etc.
So, what position should Democrats take on crime and homelessness? Do we build more prisons? Do we criminalize homelessness? Do we just throw people away? I don't know what the answer is. I have been a victim of violent crime recently, I understand the frustration. We all know things don't work right and the government doesn't handle things well. What is the solution? My fear is people are all on the verge of letting a strong man "fix" all their issues. Republicans aren't going to fix anything, but they are much better at messaging and they will make people "feel" like they are safer and more prosperous. I "feel" like we are doomed, and are in a cycle where the long arc of history is bending towards authoritarianism not justice.
first : raise the minimum wage! second : improve health care and sick pay so the sick don't become homeless. third : increase social security fourth: create a network of small dispersed shelters (big box solutions are not good for the homeless) fifth: offer mentorship to homeless individuals - can be volunteers. we need a dedicated helper for each person struggling to survive. sixth : deregulate living in RV's on private property and yurts and alternative housing. seventh : deregulate owner builders to build what they want to offer housing to the poor. eighth : create bridge jobs at the city / state level ninth: increase low income housing.
And to add financial literacy classes for everybody and mentoring for young adults as well. People 18-25 have nowhere to turn unless they're disabled@@adifferentlight5530
for homelessness its pretty simple, drug offenses should lead to consequences/prison, you should not be able to inject horse tranquilizer or fent in public places and not have consequences the love and acceptance towards drug use in the homeless community hasnt worked, if you have the choice of getting treatment or doing drugs, your going to do drugs until you hit your rock bottom, which for most people, is the legal consequences of jail
Reagan is the one that closed mental asylums and created the homeless populations to begin with. You wanna clean up homelessness you have to go back to the mental institutions and gawd forbid low cost housing.
I won't lie, I stopped watching TYT regularly a few years ago because it just felt like it was going too....out there. But around a year ago, I felt a shift. I had the same "shift" a couple years before that. I respect you guys for being willing to change your perspective and opinion based on new information. I just have to add...Ana is the best. She is what brought me back🙂
There is actually not one single person in the Democratic party who could run in 2028 and not get laughed off the stage. Especially if they run their campaign like Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. That will be like 1st day failure.
James Carville says there are several smart, talented and charismatic Democrat leaders just waiting for their chance but they didn't get a chance because Kamala was selected. Lets hope the Democrats don't get it together by 2028 so they can't undo the repairs the Republicans are having to make.
Incumbent parties are losing all over the world because of the global inflationary crisis and the surge of immigration , people are reading too much into this loss. 💯 It's hard to win when the cost of living is high. 💯 If the Republicans can't lower the cost of living, they'll be voted out in two years , that's how it's going to be until the global economic crisis ends. 💯 People need to stop panicking..💯💯💯
I appreciate TYT for always being real. And I never listen to the foolish people saying that Anna is a secret republican or a grifter 🙄 The people have spoken, in the election and in TYT membership
It’s wild people think that when like 95% of the policies she believes in are progressive and left leaning. She’s just fed up with the Democratic Party, big difference. But when you work in her industry you’re either democrat or republican there is no room for nuisance. A lot of Americans feel just like Ana, progressive but fed up with the Democrats
hell yeah Ana, me & my partner are glad you finally got that off your chest, cause we're not blind, we're old progs like y'all, (dude, y'all probably recognize me, on and off supporter for *ever*) but like, goddamn dude, y'all are the most "adulty" adults in my personal opinion, you guys are true leaders. Keep it up. Keep up the progressive movement, you guys are so fundamental to inspiring change, and Ana, that fire you have is inspiring, it helps me be certain to fight for the rights of all citizens even more. My partner is 100% supporting you, hes like, "thank god, laying down the law". Cause 100%.
I’m slightly to the right of middle. I listen to you guys the very most. Why? Because you tell the truth. Even if it paints your side in an unfavourable light. Do I agree with everything you say? No. But still some of the best coverage on TH-cam. Keep up the good work.
Cenk and Ezra are both capitalists, but not near the top tier, so liberalism (a.k.a. conservatism) is their actual class interest. What’s actually in the interest of the working class is getting free from capitalism.
Crime is down. I live in NYC and it’s not any different day to day for the vast majority of people than it has been before. Sorry you had one bad experience. That’s not the basis of a political view though.
I'm just wondering how long does it take to recover from Covid and a possible economic depression? Desperation doesn't give you the right to be a piece of she it, and vote for Trump.
Mate I'm from uk...its NOT trump. It's what the left are pushing...most people DON'T want uncontrolled immigration. Most people DON'T want to he forced to pretend bob is sue and let him into women's sports. Go look in a mirror lad. YOU'RE the pos
But Democrats were warning people that Trump is an unhinged dictator. Harris had some progressive platforms and certainly was not going to diminish your rights.
Take responsibility for yourselves. Trump voters have no one to blame but themselves. Democrats aren't responsible for dispelling their bigotry and, or ignorance. Independence and undecided who voted for Trump, own up to your stupidity and quit blaming the party as a whole. The two candidates showed us who they are and who they represented, but you're too stupid to open your eyes to the obvious. Own up. 😅
1. Home of progressives? 2. I guess forget the homeless right? Now what economic policy has a republican offered that would not worsen the problem. Spoiler: moving them or throwing them in jail for being poor doesn't fix the underlining issue. 3. Jumping turnstiles, you're so hurt about that? With the exception of Japan every foreign city I've been to with a subway that occurs.
If the Libs would listen to this, they would do far better. It’s not race, it’s not sex, it’s not orientation …. It’s CLASS. Period. End of story. And, the only way to improve your class is MERIT. It’s always been that way. It will always be that way.
You should tell the conservatives who call everything DEI. Remember the Baltimore mayor getting called a "DEI mayor" because a rando foreign ship hit a bridge in the middle of the night?

@@TAEYYO Nobody can afford to live in San Francisco anymore. No wonder it looks clean. It's enpty. 🤷
Ana joining me in the middle?
Thats the problem. If you’re not on board 💯, you are on the other side
When trump is the alternative yes
Btw the catalytic converters theft in NY- the ring leader was a guy living in a 6 million home in NJ
I appreciate that Ana is willing to say effectively "it doesn't make you a right winger to acknowledge that the criminals are running wild with no accountability for their actions, and the politicians are essentially encouraging it"
Which prosecutors are letting criminals "run wild with no accountability for their action"? Come on, name some names, and also specify the percentage of prosecutors who are doing this. Thanks in advance.
@nicholashaines8481 Gavin Newsom.
Not all democrats are progressive
It would be great to see Anna on Joe Rogan! Let’s make it happen!!!
Absolutely, she was on there a couple times like 10 years ago, but yea she should definitely go back on now. Would Love to hear that convo
Crime isn't up in Michigan. But up in all red states. Don't forget that.
Cause democrats don't count crimes as crimes anymore.
@@codingwithellie water isn't wet either is it? 😂😂😂
@@bennettd1275 You keep sipping the Kool-Aid, one day you'll see the light.
People LISTEN to Anna & Cenk then maybe the people who you want to win will actually win. She has what we in the rural south like to call common sense!
As a Libertarian that votes "right leaning"...this is the best Podcast on in the internet!
Same here........
Usually I’m good with TYT and their somewhat balanced criticism of all sides of politics. But since the election, it seems that Cenk and Ana specially are doing some gloat tour about “how right we are” about the Dems AFTER joining in the correct criticism of a potential Trump presidency. Now it’s leaning totally to attacking Dems and Progressives, light criticism of the right, and “open minded” to all the things that they warned us about. Dont get mad at people saying you’re turning to the right when it clearly looks like you’re turning to the right.
Yep. That's what it looks like to me too. What good does blaming the Democrats do at this point? The Democrats are done. I guess it just makes them feel better.
Poor butt hurt Ana. The left is annoying with their purity tests but I think they're directing their hate in the wrong direction.
FOR THE UNINFORMED LEFT. THE CRIME STATS WERE AMENDED AND SHOWED THAT THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN CRIME.
Anna doesn’t even realize she is in a bubble. She’s outta touch. Sad to see such a great progressive spitting Fox News talking points
I think you are the one that's in a bubble
Which bubble? The one that most of the USA is in?
Yep, you should take all the gangs from el Salvador. I am sure they will be good citizens because they are immigrants. What did thd Latino vote show you during this election, go and watch how they themselves don't want some immigration. I am not saying only immigrants cause violence, but it is one aspect. Lack of security brings fascism. If you can't understand this, then the left is doomed.
Then why are u watching right wing talking points?
She's not a great progressive anymore. She would fit right in on Fox News.
Imagine asking people to have beliefs informed by evidence! The nerve!
also, how many crime goes unreported because people know nothing gets done?
Bingo
Ana no one thinks you are a secret right-winger, it's fairly well documented at this point that you are "leaving the left" I'm sure Dave Rubin and Tulsi Gabbard would be so proud.
I wish Ana would just quit finally. Take the right-wing talking points and leave
What is the root of the problem? We need for social programs, livable wage, better schools (funding), paid family/sick leave, police reform, passing equality bill, etc.
So do those. Don't pass laws that favor criminals.
Why does Cenk always have to make everything about himself?
Because he’s an egomaniac
So, what position should Democrats take on crime and homelessness? Do we build more prisons? Do we criminalize homelessness? Do we just throw people away? I don't know what the answer is. I have been a victim of violent crime recently, I understand the frustration. We all know things don't work right and the government doesn't handle things well. What is the solution? My fear is people are all on the verge of letting a strong man "fix" all their issues. Republicans aren't going to fix anything, but they are much better at messaging and they will make people "feel" like they are safer and more prosperous. I "feel" like we are doomed, and are in a cycle where the long arc of history is bending towards authoritarianism not justice.
More probably, people _won’t_ feel safer and more prosperous; fear and insecurity are the keys to power for reactionary extremism.
first : raise the minimum wage!
second : improve health care and sick pay so the sick don't become homeless.
third : increase social security
fourth: create a network of small dispersed shelters (big box solutions are not good for the homeless)
fifth: offer mentorship to homeless individuals - can be volunteers. we need a dedicated helper for each person struggling to survive.
sixth : deregulate living in RV's on private property and yurts and alternative housing.
seventh : deregulate owner builders to build what they want to offer housing to the poor.
eighth : create bridge jobs at the city / state level
ninth: increase low income housing.
And to add financial literacy classes for everybody and mentoring for young adults as well. People 18-25 have nowhere to turn unless they're disabled@@adifferentlight5530
for homelessness its pretty simple, drug offenses should lead to consequences/prison, you should not be able to inject horse tranquilizer or fent in public places and not have consequences
the love and acceptance towards drug use in the homeless community hasnt worked, if you have the choice of getting treatment or doing drugs, your going to do drugs until you hit your rock bottom, which for most people, is the legal consequences of jail
Reagan is the one that closed mental asylums and created the homeless populations to begin with. You wanna clean up homelessness you have to go back to the mental institutions and gawd forbid low cost housing.
I won't lie, I stopped watching TYT regularly a few years ago because it just felt like it was going too....out there. But around a year ago, I felt a shift. I had the same "shift" a couple years before that. I respect you guys for being willing to change your perspective and opinion based on new information. I just have to add...Ana is the best. She is what brought me back🙂
There is actually not one single person in the Democratic party who could run in 2028 and not get laughed off the stage. Especially if they run their campaign like Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. That will be like 1st day failure.
James Carville says there are several smart, talented and charismatic Democrat leaders just waiting for their chance but they didn't get a chance because Kamala was selected. Lets hope the Democrats don't get it together by 2028 so they can't undo the repairs the Republicans are having to make.
Trust me the country will be begging with anybody with a D next to their name after Trump screws up for 4 years.
Ana is such an important voice for these times. She has a point, normies are not chronically online or informed, and normies are the majority.
Good on ya Ana. 👍
Are you saying the woke is waking up? The jokes write themselves.
TYT was never “woke” they never bullshit about nobody
Its funny how TYT didn't understand the issues, but as soon as they lose. Suddenly, they knew all along.
Ana is right!
1:59 Ana’s Cenk came out😂
Love Ana!! Don’t let the haters tell you who you are!!
The return of Smug Ana! 😂
Fewer Democrats voted. Trumps numbers changed little.
No. Fewer people voted. Not simply fewer democrats. Trump increased his share of the smaller electorate - by a good amount.
Delusional leftist cope
15 Million voters that voted in 2020 magically disappeared...
Incumbent parties are losing all over the world because of the global inflationary crisis and the surge of immigration , people are reading too much into this loss. 💯 It's hard to win when the cost of living is high. 💯 If the Republicans can't lower the cost of living, they'll be voted out in two years , that's how it's going to be until the global economic crisis ends. 💯 People need to stop panicking..💯💯💯
I like Ur handle
Republicans won't lose the Senate in two years because of the states that the upcoming open seats will be in.
I appreciate TYT for always being real. And I never listen to the foolish people saying that Anna is a secret republican or a grifter 🙄
The people have spoken, in the election and in TYT membership
I'm becoming Anna's biggest fan. Seriously like her a lot. She needs to take this on the road. I'd love to meet her.
It’s wild people think that when like 95% of the policies she believes in are progressive and left leaning. She’s just fed up with the Democratic Party, big difference. But when you work in her industry you’re either democrat or republican there is no room for nuisance. A lot of Americans feel just like Ana, progressive but fed up with the Democrats
@@TytyandChelsea that's how I feel!
"TRUMP BAD!" I'll never forget it
Anna spitting facts
Ana spitting bald faced lies.
So proud of you guys for the last several years of reporting. You’ve found the correct place
hell yeah Ana, me & my partner are glad you finally got that off your chest, cause we're not blind, we're old progs like y'all, (dude, y'all probably recognize me, on and off supporter for *ever*) but like, goddamn dude, y'all are the most "adulty" adults in my personal opinion, you guys are true leaders. Keep it up. Keep up the progressive movement, you guys are so fundamental to inspiring change, and Ana, that fire you have is inspiring, it helps me be certain to fight for the rights of all citizens even more. My partner is 100% supporting you, hes like, "thank god, laying down the law". Cause 100%.
Stop talking about Biden he left🙄
This segment is 100% why I’ve been a member since the Dunk Tank… 😉😊👍🏽❤️👏🏽👏🏽
Can’t have joy if you feel unsafe and broke…
FEDERAL Gov't policies are DIFFERENT from State & local Governors, Mayors & DA's policies. It's nuanced
Watching grift from Klein in real time.
Cenk you preaching to the wrong people, you need to send this episode to the corporate democrats.
I’m slightly to the right of middle. I listen to you guys the very most. Why? Because you tell the truth.
Even if it paints your side in an unfavourable light.
Do I agree with everything you say? No. But still some of the best coverage on TH-cam.
Keep up the good work.
Who are Gavin Newsom’s donors? We need to know this as Californians.
Lizard People
Cenk and Ezra are both capitalists, but not near the top tier, so liberalism (a.k.a. conservatism) is their actual class interest. What’s actually in the interest of the working class is getting free from capitalism.
Crime is down. I live in NYC and it’s not any different day to day for the vast majority of people than it has been before. Sorry you had one bad experience. That’s not the basis of a political view though.
Its incredible how selfish and uber privileged Ana is. One experience of crime, and suddenly you are against poor people? Weak.
What a crap argument
I walked by a Frog sitting on a book recently and the Frog told me as I passed by that he wrote the book and it was very Ribbiting.
I'm just wondering how long does it take to recover from Covid and a possible economic depression? Desperation doesn't give you the right to be a piece of she it, and vote for Trump.
Mate I'm from uk...its NOT trump. It's what the left are pushing...most people DON'T want uncontrolled immigration. Most people DON'T want to he forced to pretend bob is sue and let him into women's sports. Go look in a mirror lad. YOU'RE the pos
But Democrats were warning people that Trump is an unhinged dictator. Harris had some progressive platforms and certainly was not going to diminish your rights.
Trump is responsible for the Covid economic crash. You should be kissing Biden's backside for lifting us out of a potential depression.
We need more mental health services.
I need to know crime rate in what is high cuz National statistics murders down carjackings down that's all we care about
murders way up since 2020, everything way up since 2020.
Ana has awakened welcome to the party 🎉
Cult*
I'm not going to claim I knew for sure Trump would win, but I wasn't even slightly surprised.
Take responsibility for yourselves. Trump voters have no one to blame but themselves. Democrats aren't responsible for dispelling their bigotry and, or ignorance. Independence and undecided who voted for Trump, own up to your stupidity and quit blaming the party as a whole. The two candidates showed us who they are and who they represented, but you're too stupid to open your eyes to the obvious. Own up. 😅
We own up to the win, stay crying in your corner on the fringe.
Can’t wait until Newsom tries running as a Centrist
1. Home of progressives?
2. I guess forget the homeless right? Now what economic policy has a republican offered that would not worsen the problem. Spoiler: moving them or throwing them in jail for being poor doesn't fix the underlining issue.
3. Jumping turnstiles, you're so hurt about that? With the exception of Japan every foreign city I've been to with a subway that occurs.
That does not happen very often here in London. And when it does, the person is prosecuted.
@davidmorris3981 that's cap. Last time I was in London a few years back, three people snuck behind as I paid in the underground.
Watch what happens under Trump 😂
01:56 The moment when Ana had a Cenk-like reaction 😂😂😂😂
Hilarious 😂😂😂
I’m all for it!
I love Based Ana.
Ana’s right turn is here everyone lol
Anna's secret right winger dance was hilarious. She's also smarter then most of the people on television.
If the Libs would listen to this, they would do far better. It’s not race, it’s not sex, it’s not orientation …. It’s CLASS. Period. End of story. And, the only way to improve your class is MERIT. It’s always been that way. It will always be that way.
You should tell the conservatives who call everything DEI. Remember the Baltimore mayor getting called a "DEI mayor" because a rando foreign ship hit a bridge in the middle of the night?
The left is bad the center is bad the right is bad the uninvolved are bad.
Your not making a great argument for continuing living.😢🎉😭
Hey, America! Why not give the mentally ill and homeless the help that they actually need?
But then how are we going to pay for the 10 million illegals that came in over the last 4 years?
You are talking about the 24 billion for the homeless crisis in CA right?
@@RowdyMornings Did I say that? No, idiot.
How dare you? That money is reserved for the illegal immigrants, Ukrainians and Israel.
Media-Gaslighting-Industrial-Complex, new favorite term lol. I think Joy Reid's the CEO
