I liked the part where Cenk said "if anybody counts the superdelegates, they're bad journalists", and immediately C-SPAN counts the superdelegates and puts it on the screen.
+DiverseLA 3:39 heh, that was hilarious. The production department hears him start to talk about delegates so they throw that infographic up on the screen. Cenk says that everyone that is including the super delegates are doing it wrong, and more importantly he says exactly WHY and gives examples... they glance at their infographic... oh hell, "Take it down, take down NOW!" That was great.
That's why we love Cenk though, I feel like Donald Trump has ruined this phrase, but Cenk tells it like it is. Cenk doesn't pander to special interest groups, I have seen Cenk viciously attack his own sponsors like Amazon for example in a news story cuz he don't give a fuck, he's more interested in truth & principles than he is in benefiting himself with with self perpetuating greed. In fact not only did he turn down MSNBC on principles, but also Sirius XM radio he turned down their massive amounts of money & a stable job based on principles. not everybody might always agree with Cenk, but you can't deny how honest he is, & you can't deny that he is doing his best to look out for the American people, Cenk in my opinion is the Bernie Sanders of News...
Almost a year later and this is still one of my favorite videos on You Tube... My favorite part is the gradual change in attitude of the interviewer, she was impressed.
+jungle305 OBVIOUSLY. If you had some basic critical thinking skills you could deduce that the actual point was, Giving McDonlad Troop such a title is completely absurd, given his mostly unintelligible, ass backwards, substanceless remarks. let me guess you support this clown? if so that would explain your lack of simple reasoning. If not my apologies for assuming.
+Andrew Weeraratne The fact that so many people give credence to any of those cable "news" networks is beyond frustrating. Walter Cronkite is rolling over in his grave.
+Nightceasar Sometimes he makes me mad, and I think he is totally biased illogically on a few issues, but when he is on it, and he is on your side he is a beast.
Moshira Rahimtulla That only says something about you if you feel that way, If you are the kind of person who only takes in and likes what suits you, perhaps that is something you should work on. It is nowhere near how everyone feels or reacts, so don't over generalize as if that is the way with the entire TyT audience.
***** specifically the thing that gets my goat the most, is Cenk's fixation on guns. TYT/Cenk devotes a lot of time to attacking, either guns, gun owners or the second amendment itself. Which you'd think I wouldn't care because I'm moderate at best on the issue so why would it bother me so much?, its because TYT is as close as it gets to real reporting on the real issues. And generally Cenk and TYT focus on the real problems affecting us all. Mostly... But when they go off on a tirade about what some dumbass people do with guns, it really makes them look bad and it turns off millions of people to they're message because TYT turns into 'liberal' fox news on this issue. Its a real tragedy because, in general, despite what the media forces on us, Death by a firearm is doesn't even make the top 30-40, maybe 50 causes of preventable death in this country. With death by 'assault' weapon is even in the top 100,maybe 200!! It doesn't take much research to quickly figure this out. So to see Cenk and TYT do what they do is bad journalism at best, or irresponsible and misleading abuse of they're influence at worst. If 'real focus' on 'real issues' is what they are all about. Not just pushing they're personal agenda. Even if they believe its 'progressive'. That is not my view of progressive. And I would defend any issues I felt they made unfair attacks on. I just want them to stay on point and never give in to un-researched childish attacks on *anything*.
Boy, Cenk really touches a nerve with you people. Can he be on to something? It's so nice to listen to a show where you can listen to the answers without the questioners over talking them.
Thanks Cenk, keep kicking butt and being brave with your opinion. The more we speak, the more people have to listen. Even if it takes a number of times to wade through the unconscious social programming lol
Best guest appearance I've ever seen cenk in. He explained things calmly, didn't sound condescending, and hasn't attack c-span so far for being "part of the establishment." (I'm 15 minutes in). Thank you cenk.
3:50 Cenk calls anyone posting delegate counts with super-delegates included "bad journalists." C-span, as Cenk is speaking, posts delegate counts with super-delegates counted in totals. Hahaha
That was amazing when he said "Anyone counting superdelegates is a bad journalist" as they were showing total counts with superdelegates. I wonder how fast that control room was rushing to get that off the screen.
Thank you Cenk for spreading the truth. You're an awesome public figure. I don't always agree with everything you say but I follow TYT religiously because of how truthful the program is.
I love the calm way the interviewer talks. At first it threw me off as being too "boring" but then after a time I thought "wait, this is how you conduct an interview about important topics - calmly and without bias or sentimentalization."
I loved every minute of this. best thing I've ever seen you do Cenk! less "Foxnews" style flashy background images and "radio talk show" sound effects and more substance. very honest and passionate. Great work Cenk. and thank you interviewer for having him on.
Cenk, we are all so proud of you handling all these questions in a truly honest and respectful manner and if anyone can get a right-winger to reconsider their positions you make the case for our progressive positions supremely and convincingly!
Cenk, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the revolution you are helping to spark in our country. You were very prepared and offered substantive yet concise answers to every question. That in itself is a sign that not oly are you passionate about all of this, but that you're speaking your truth as you see it. Please keep it up, as the true progressives in the country support you and the TYT platform & vision.
REVOLUTION is it?!? That's what I suspected all along. Revolution equals treason, and Cenk is an immigrant. That means he can have his US citizenship revoked. He can take all his ANTIFA Fcist back to where he was hatched.
Just asked young man sporting a Trump cap. I asked why he's voting for Trump? he said "Because he's Trump" I asked how would deporting people based off of religion be efficient? His response "I'm voting for Trump because he's right about everything even the Muslims" sad day in America.
3:50 "And by the way, if anybody counts the super delegates as already voting, they're bad journalists", just as they display delegate counts including supers... Priceless!
Do TYT take caller questions? I am not a member so I am not sure.. But it would be interesting for you guys to interact with the audience directly on air :)
It would be so funny if her pay was suddenly doubled and she was told to host only on weekends. Come join us @ TYT, trust me, the revolution will bring you more listeners than you ever had on c-span GARUNTEED.
I have gained alot of respect for cenk after watching this. He is a very opinionated guy but he never flinched to answer any of the questions asked and he was very respectful in his answers even when he didn't have to be. Great Q and A. More of this.
Thank you @TheYoungTurks for posting this link! Was watching live yesterday when, as Cenk was answering one of the last questions, the screen went blank on the program, and Cspan put up information on upcoming programs. It was bizarre, but the timing on the blackout was perfect. About 40 minutes in Cenk was cut off, just as he was telling the guy why he was being taxed so much.
Well done Washington Journal (CSPAN) for having Cenk over to engage callers from across the nation and across the political divide, and well done Cenk for tackling even the most ignorant callers.
Cenk was very patient with the questioners and explained his views really well. Heck, if a conservative explained stuff like that to me, I would actually consider his viewpoints.
***** Wasn't talking about your avatar name... What's wrong with mine? Can't be a fan of something? I honestly don't understand someone being upset due to the name of the young turks.. the co-host is Armenian..
+Melisa Bailey Problem is people who disagree with him will either say that he is not strong enough when he is kind to them or that he is a brute when he has really strong points. He just can never win in their eyes. There are people that say that Anne won that debate because Cenk wasn't strong enough but if he had been more aggressive with his responses then they would be calling him a sexist or a brute.
+Melisa Bailey I notice that Bernie stays on message also, and doesn't get sidetracked in 2ndary points (eg that global climate change is real and the we are in for droughts, desertification, food and water shortages, etc)
omg I love that they show the super delegate scores at the same time as Cenk says that anyone who is showing the super delegate scores is a bad journalist - BRUTAL
+josh mcgee But the difference is that they listed both superdelegates and regular delegates. If you're going to do that then it's fine because you are stating that they are difference. What's bad journalism is when they just combine then and don't even tell you about it.
Cenk: whoever is counting super delegates are misleading people and are bad journalists. Right at that moment the screen counting super delegates shows up lol Great line and timing Cenk!!
Kurt Glathar He said Bernie's tax plan will help the middle class but he fails to mention that even Sanders himself said taxes would go up for everyone under his plan plus he's lied about various other things that aren't specifically related to Sanders.
+Paulie Walnuts in return for free tuition at public universities and healthcare, yeah taxes are going up that's called paying for your proposals and not putting everything on a magical credit card for generations down the line to pay if that's your main complaint, that Bernie wants people to pay several $thousand more in taxes to get in return, a vastly superior healthcare system like Germany's, and college for anyone who wants it badly enough and demonstrates ability, thus making our workforce competitive since we are #20 in education worldwide and are slipping even more every year, losing out to countries like Sweden and China (SOCIALISTS)... long story short you have nothing to complain about
Mingda Sun China, Russia, Ukraine, North Korea, Albania, Yugoslavia, Libya, Iraq, Sudan. All with histories or present day socialism that brought nothing but suffering to their people. Whether you like it or not, so called democratic socialism will eventually lead to full blown socialism. You should read a history book.
Am I the only one who would be incredibly disappointed if Elizabeth Warren became the VP for Hillary Clinton? I feel like that would be such a slap to the progressive movement. Like Warren selling out. On the other hand, one heart beat away...
+BeastEG kinda sort of, On the other hand I understand the desire to unify the party and what not. That said progressive agenda would be in trouble since our Gov is a republican and would likely replace Warren with a republican
Or....its a spring board for her eventual attempt at being elected president. Think of it this way, right now Warren is a progressive superstar for progressive Democrats, but if she were VP and had the national spotlight on her for 4 or even 8 years, she could seriously tear shit up, I think the general population would love her even more than a president Hillary, which is why exactly why she will never pick Warren as VP.

+Cakeless | Home of the Cakes | In the first two minutes alone: 0:44 "We have a clown for one of the nominees for President." This is ad hominem-not a point. 0:50 " Republican nominee for President has at least a 40% chance of winning, normally." These are statistics he made-up with no basis in fact. 1:05 "We live in the most evil world." You are correct. Cenk has proved that there is only one world we live in-not parallel universes. 1:13 "He never makes any sense." More ad hominem-no cogent points. 1:45 "He is dangerous." More ad hominem-no cogent points. "2:06 "Can anyone trust anything that Donald Trump says?" More ad hominem-no cogent points. Cenk Uygur is a hack. He always has been a hack and he always will be a hack.
+18661873 0:44 - Trump is in fact a clown. He has silly hair, silly make-up, rounded torso, and makes people laugh. To his credit, he became very popular as an entertainer on television. 0:50 - Without Cenk quoting a source, I too am curious where he derived this statistic. But without you providing proof to the contrary, how do YOU know he is making this up? Furthermore, as you quoted it, he said they have "at least a 40% chance." That is totally believable. At least 40%? What, do you think it is less than that normally? 1:05 - Indeed. 1:13 - This is actually a case of referring to what is common knowledge in many circles. I do realize that it may not seem like knowledge to others or yourself. However, to many people, Donald Trump's debates, interviews, and even some speeches have conflicting thoughts and incoherent answers to questions. When I say incoherent, I mean that, although his answer may be a complete sentence, it does not correlate with the direct question being asked. It implies that he does not understand the connection between the question and his own answer. Thus, it does not make sense to some people. For references, see republican debate where he fails to defend his economic plan against the questioning of Fox news panelists and the interview with the Washington Post editorial board from around mid March. 1:45 - Again, this is similar to the above point. It is common knowledge in some circles, therefore, he does not feel obligated to provide proof statements. Perhaps some people are new to this, however, many people have followed the many hate crimes and aggressive behavior presented by Trump supporters at his rallies. Also, Trump is often himself belligerent and encourages this behavior in various videos. I realize the counter to this would be that protestors have been apart of this violence. First, non-violent protestors have been assaulted. Second, if there are violent protestors, that is a shame. I wonder why they feel the need to do so. This is all without referring to his alienation of minorities and the perpetuation of ideas that are offensive to other nations. I provide no sources - they are abundant and would be evident to anyone paying attention. 2:06 - This, if you understand the previous two points, is a perfectly acceptable question to raise about the trustworthiness of Donald. to quote you "Cenk Uygur is a hack... always will be a hack." This does not discredit his points. This is ad-hominem.
+Michael Smith So your defense of Cenk Uygur is your own ad hominem, prove Cenk wrong by making his point for him, and the rest is common knowledge. Sorry. I am not convinced. Cenk proves is a hack because of interviews like this one. He has always been a hack because neither the law profession nor the news profession will employ him. And he always be a hack because he doesn't understand this and will not refine his skills.
+Aemil Palm its like someone didnt read enough or something wierd, becus their logic isnt normal , why does people have such wierd views in the same issue ? are they clouded or something or hard too understand whats infront and behind at the same time?
+Aemil Palm ok so what did he say that was true? is he aware trumps lowering taxes and increasing regulations and taxes on the rich while bringing money and corporations back from overseas and replace Obamacare? all of which democrats have done to make worse. and also why did bernie pay 12 percent in taxes when he made over 200 grand 2 years ago? u are awarding he is getting rich off donations right? also explain how bernie spent 3 million on private jet travel more than double what the republicans spent not counting trump because he uses his own money. how did bernie blow past 80 million and still asking for money when trump doesn't ask for a dime?
I can't believe I watched that whole thing. I just intended to skip around but of course Cenk is just the perfect clear headed, well spoken commentator I've ever seen. I had to watch the whole thing. Well done Cenk. Well done.
Dude, Cenk is really calm. I mean: People call me way too calm, but if I was in his position I would have been outraged at those callers who knew jack shit about taxes or socialism and communism...
MyLostTemple Ummm, I don't think rules matter anymore. We have Drumpf the clown celebrity who insults anyone live on tv and who has absolutely no experience whatsoever in running a city or state, we have Hillary the criminal who has killed people yet somehow she is above the law and runs around loosely as if she has done nothing wrong, and Cruz an immigrant born in Canada. It is my belief that Cenk was born here and it was his parents who immigrated here. I could be wrong but like I said, it seems like no one follows the rules anymore.
Daniel Valerio Cruz is only able to run because he was born from one of the parents who had American citizenship, the only controversial part is his mother who held a dual citizenship at that time, which might cause a problem or inconsistency with him able to run, but the rule/Natural-born-citizen clause isn't clear about how person is able to run who was born from parent who was dual citizen. And you are sadly mistaken, the rule absolutely matters. This is the US, any clowns or fools can run for presidency. Ever heard of Ronald Reagan? You do know he was a Hollywood movie actor before he became the US president?
MyLostTemple Mistaken? No absolutely not. I'm fully aware Ronald Reagan was an actor. However, that was a horrible example, and I will tell you why. First, he was not a hot head clown celebrity with the maturity of a ten year old who started twitter fights the second someone disagreed with him(which I know there was no twitter back then, but simply just an example). Second, you forgot to mention he also served as governor of California. My problem is not with Trump being a celebrity, but with him having zero experience in running anything. How can we possibly hand the responsibility of leadership of the greatest country and strongest military in the planet to this clown who has no experience? Just because he has fame and money, should not be a ticket to presidency. When one applies for a high end job, one is expected to put previous experiences on job application. President should not be an exception, especially when it's the highest position in our land. If he really cared for running for president, the least he could've done was provide us with some history and could have put a little effort in being a dictator of some state or city, before jumping straight into president. We have foolish laws such as Citizen's United that protect corporations under the first amendment and allows them to donate infinite amount of money to candidates, and in return get favors if those candidates get elected. Asking for Cenk to be a possible president does not sound nearly as foolish as that. It was also something I didn't expect anyone to take too seriously. I was simply showing my support for this amazing progressive man, and show that he would be someone I would definitely vote for if he could possibly run for president. I will not die if Cenk is never considered for president. There are many progressives popping up. This progressive movement is for reals. Nothing can stop it. It may not be Cenk or Bernie who make that change, but both are the foundation of what is to come. Older generations that have conformed to living in a rigged corrupt political system are dying, while new ones that tend to be a lot more progressive are rising. It's only a matter of time.
Beautiful Interview on C-SPAN, all criticism and questions answered back directly and to the point, I wish more people in or focused on politics answered that way.
You know you're doing something right when you get haters on your ass all day. You've made it Cenk.
Cenk was great at handling these questions , and answered them spectacularly.
+Young Archivest Yep, he's a pro, no doubt about that.
he lied about most of them and twisted many comments to work in his favor while promoting a failed candidate like bernie
+Debbie Matzen Care to follow up on that?
+Jonathan Thompson lol nope
Yes it's really not easy to answer questions so well on the spot.
I liked the part where Cenk said "if anybody counts the superdelegates, they're bad journalists", and immediately C-SPAN counts the superdelegates and puts it on the screen.
LOL!
+DiverseLA 3:39 heh, that was hilarious. The production department hears him start to talk about delegates so they throw that infographic up on the screen. Cenk says that everyone that is including the super delegates are doing it wrong, and more importantly he says exactly WHY and gives examples... they glance at their infographic... oh hell, "Take it down, take down NOW!"
That was great.
That's why we love Cenk though, I feel like Donald Trump has ruined this phrase, but Cenk tells it like it is. Cenk doesn't pander to special interest groups, I have seen Cenk viciously attack his own sponsors like Amazon for example in a news story cuz he don't give a fuck, he's more interested in truth & principles than he is in benefiting himself with with self perpetuating greed.

Sink has no right to speak on journalists behalf he's a piece of crap
+Roman T Well technically Cenk does have that right.
Almost a year later and this is still one of my favorite videos on You Tube... My favorite part is the gradual change in attitude of the interviewer, she was impressed.
" YOU THINK DONLAD TRUMP IS PROPHETIC? HE CAN BARELY SPEAK ENGLISH. " LMAO CENK YOU KILLED ME WITH THAT ONE !!!!
+jungle305 OBVIOUSLY.
If you had some basic critical thinking skills you could deduce that the actual point was,
Giving McDonlad Troop such a title is completely absurd, given his mostly unintelligible, ass backwards, substanceless remarks.
let me guess you support this clown? if so that would explain your lack of simple reasoning.
If not my apologies for assuming.
dude I love how Cenk GOES IN even on another show instead of trying to be like the CNN robots who have no passion about what they report.
I wish I could hire people like Cenk to talk to my in-laws ._.
Just watch these kinds of videos with Cenk in front of them, & hopefully they pay attention
Very few people walk out of a highly paid Corporate Media job refusing to be a hack. Walking out of MSNBC itself won Cenk Uygur a ticket to heaven.
+Andrew Weeraratne The fact that so many people give credence to any of those cable "news" networks is beyond frustrating. Walter Cronkite is rolling over in his grave.
You speak the truth!! :)
I love how professional Cenk can be.
+Ian Urcinoli - Cenk really brought it this time. Kudos to him. Fantastic.
When the first caller said, "this climate change nonsense" I died. lmao. Wish i could be that blissfully ignorant
+Evan G that's what you get from 3 hours of limbaugh everyday.
When i hear someone like that i'm happy to be not an American
Wow, Cenk did such a great job in this interview. High five Cenk!
+Nightceasar Sometimes he makes me mad, and I think he is totally biased illogically on a few issues, but when he is on it, and he is on your side he is a beast.
+joe4324 I agree 100%, he can so easily make me mad as he can hype me up regarding certain issues, just shows much we love it only when it suits us.
Moshira Rahimtulla well said!
Moshira Rahimtulla
That only says something about you if you feel that way, If you are the kind of person who only takes in and likes what suits you, perhaps that is something you should work on.

17:03 You know Cenk's on a roll when the interviewer starts laughing.
I hope Cenk runs for president at some point. He's the man for it.
+Louis Caprani He can't, he wasn't born in the U.S.
+Apotheosis neither was Ted Cruz....or Barry.
Morvicks Really? Are we going to do this bullshit again?
+Morvicks Ted Cruz's mother and father were working in Canada when Ted was born. Still an American citizen
+Morvicks You don't have to be born in America to be born an American citizen.
Cenk- You do an amazing job in this format... taking questions from real people... letting the host also better understand the issues. Well done!
Boy, Cenk really touches a nerve with you people. Can he be on to something? It's so nice to listen to a show where you can listen to the answers without the questioners over talking them.
Bernie for President
Donald for Preschool
and Hillary for Prison
•○●□■w
Now wake up from your dream
I love your post ! Bernie for President, Donald for preschool and Killary for Prison 💓
That's the best I've seen it said
taburdine1 The system is rigged but it most certainly isn't predetermined.
"The guy can barely speak English" that was the best part lmao
+Leyman Soza "Prophetic"
what guy? maybe I should finish the video before asking huh in case it's a caller
Hell YEAH! I exploded with excitement from that line! Hahahaha
What part are you guys talking about
+ArchangelV11 around 17:00
Amazing job Cenk. You handled those questions amazingly well. I wish this interview was 6 times longer.
Most of the callers have no clue or a really low IQ, wow it was painful listening to them.
Thanks Cenk, keep kicking butt and being brave with your opinion. The more we speak, the more people have to listen. Even if it takes a number of times to wade through the unconscious social programming lol
Best guest appearance I've ever seen cenk in. He explained things calmly, didn't sound condescending, and hasn't attack c-span so far for being "part of the establishment." (I'm 15 minutes in). Thank you cenk.
+doodelay C-span is so dry, that nobody watches it and because of that, it's not part of the establishment.
+Tatchko Haha yeah but it's government owned which some might consider establishment ;)
Damn Cenk, back at it again with them facts and numbers!
Cenk, I admire your immaculate and dynamic presentation of reality.
3:50 Cenk calls anyone posting delegate counts with super-delegates included "bad journalists." C-span, as Cenk is speaking, posts delegate counts with super-delegates counted in totals. Hahaha
+David Thompson XD I saw that, I was giggling in my seat.
They did break it down, you are correct.
This was incredible. Cenk knocked it out of the park.
I'm starting to wish TYT did live calls on their show.
+i5m1thy They probably should imo.. It would give the "average" citizens thoughts.
they'd probably get so many trolls asking about the Armenian Genocide
+ATAX that reminds me I'm sure that one guy would call to say sexual things he'd do to Ana
+Go Out & Vote yeah, she's a cute little regressive puppy dog.
Would be cool!
"Of courrrse!", of courrrse he said it!
+Miranda N OF COUURSEEE!
+lil3rdthagreat of course
+lil3rdthagreat of course
Uv Coarse!
+Miranda N i was smiling when he said that and im like of course!
Cenk is completely right and on point for 45 minutes straight. May be his best moment ever.
That was amazing when he said "Anyone counting superdelegates is a bad journalist" as they were showing total counts with superdelegates. I wonder how fast that control room was rushing to get that off the screen.
+Kohl Methven I saw that LMAO
Thank you Cenk for spreading the truth. You're an awesome public figure. I don't always agree with everything you say but I follow TYT religiously because of how truthful the program is.
Donald Drumpf is prophetic? This guy has really drunk the Kool Aid. Wow Jenk lit right in the middle of him.
*Cenk
+Pat Hacker *Cenk
+Pat Hacker That makes more sense! I thought he called Trump prosthetic, then I was confused when he turned out to be a supporter.
that was funny as hell
LOL. Trump based all his ideas from popular right-wing radio. No wonder some people think he's "prophetic".
I love the calm way the interviewer talks. At first it threw me off as being too "boring" but then after a time I thought "wait, this is how you conduct an interview about important topics - calmly and without bias or sentimentalization."
+Zaknafein343 welcome to CSPAN :)
Damn, Cenk knows his shit
The first time Cenk said "Of course!!!!" I bursted out laughing
+Jojo Chicken Haha same!
I loved every minute of this. best thing I've ever seen you do Cenk! less "Foxnews" style flashy background images and "radio talk show" sound effects and more substance. very honest and passionate. Great work Cenk. and thank you interviewer for having him on.
I love the call-in format. Being able to address "normal person questions" directly, especially from the opposition, would be GREAT for TYT.
"You think Donald Trump was prophetic? The guy can barely speak English." Lol!
+Josh Money same can be said for the host, regrettably.
Love the way he says it :D
Cenk, you should do this Q & A format once a week for an hour. Your subscriptions would rocket.
Cenk, we are all so proud of you handling all these questions in a truly honest and respectful manner and if anyone can get a right-winger to reconsider their positions you make the case for our progressive positions supremely and convincingly!
Cenk, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the revolution you are helping to spark in our country. You were very prepared and offered substantive yet concise answers to every question. That in itself is a sign that not oly are you passionate about all of this, but that you're speaking your truth as you see it. Please keep it up, as the true progressives in the country support you and the TYT platform & vision.
REVOLUTION is it?!? That's what I suspected all along. Revolution equals treason, and Cenk is an immigrant. That means he can have his US citizenship revoked. He can take all his ANTIFA Fcist back to where he was hatched.

Cenk does so well here with each caller, it is glorious, I hope the republican and some dismissive callers on the democrat side listen.
Making someone snap out of it when they're brainwashed isn't easy, but Cenk smacked some sense into them. #Vivalarevolucion
+AngelisDiana's prince I sincerely hope so as well.
+Sarah Johnson They won't. They're idiots. Idiots don't listen.
+Harry BuddhaPalm
I'd like to think the same but maybe it will at least get they're wheels turning a bit.
Just asked young man sporting a Trump cap. I asked why he's voting for Trump? he said "Because he's Trump" I asked how would deporting people based off of religion be efficient? His response "I'm voting for Trump because he's right about everything even the Muslims" sad day in America.
3:50 "And by the way, if anybody counts the super delegates as already voting, they're bad journalists", just as they display delegate counts including supers... Priceless!
One of the best C-Span pieces I've ever seen. Proud to be a Bernie supporter today. Thanx TYT and C-Span!
Do TYT take caller questions? I am not a member so I am not sure.. But it would be interesting for you guys to interact with the audience directly on air :)
It would've been prank calls referencing Howard Stern's penis.
They do live chats when you're a member.
I vote for Bernie not because I want Democrat to win. ... it's because I want democracy to win. Never Hillary.
The hostess was very nervious. You can see it in her eyes. She hopes she has a job after this interview. haha
+Tonyo Allie She should be nervous, were coming after the establishment.
+Tonyo Allie Jenk was a little nervous before the calls starting coming in.
+Pat Hacker Cenk*
+Tonyo Allie
I'm sure Hillary Clinton and the Establishment Washington Bubble crowd wanted her to HEEL
It would be so funny if her pay was suddenly doubled and she was told to host only on weekends. Come join us @ TYT, trust me, the revolution will bring you more listeners than you ever had on c-span GARUNTEED.
I have gained alot of respect for cenk after watching this. He is a very opinionated guy but he never flinched to answer any of the questions asked and he was very respectful in his answers even when he didn't have to be. Great Q and A. More of this.
Thank you @TheYoungTurks for posting this link! Was watching live yesterday when, as Cenk was answering one of the last questions, the screen went blank on the program, and Cspan put up information on upcoming programs. It was bizarre, but the timing on the blackout was perfect. About 40 minutes in Cenk was cut off, just as he was telling the guy why he was being taxed so much.
Why does C-span look like it's perpetually stuck in the late 80's
+james d
By recycling the timeline, they cut on costs. Literally tens of dollars are saved on not having to buy new calendars alone.
right... i feel their in a different universe. Amp up ur enthusiasm please.
The 40yrs old jerk off to that kinda aesthetics
The woman reporter is from the 80's, yeah.
She's probably like 19
This was so great.
OMG! This was probably the best political interview I have ever watched. A lot of conservative heads are exploding.
Cenk dropping it like a boss! He's the shiznets of real journalism and politics! 😎👍🙌👏💪🔥🤘🏼
WONDERFUL JOB CENK! SO WELL EXPLAINED THROUGHOUT! PROPS!!!
+MrShirye You hide behind a sheet. I don't like you. lol
I don't mind one bit that people like you don't like my hair. :) Lol.
I love it when someone is so well informed that no question is off limits.
Well done Washington Journal (CSPAN) for having Cenk over to engage callers from across the nation and across the political divide, and well done Cenk for tackling even the most ignorant callers.
Excellent job Cenk, thank you
Great program. Cenk explained everything so clearly for me. I have a new understanding of politics.
...you're killin' it, Genk! Please keep spewing logic and reason where folks can hear it, your helping everyone by doing so.
Cenk's face when the first Republican caller was all "i don't get it why young people like Bernie" = priceless!
+TECHNO GYPSY STYLE WHich timelapes is it? Trying to find it.
its the first question he gets from a caller. 5:48
"this climate change nonsense..." lol
+TECHNO GYPSY STYLE What's even more (or maybe it shouldn't be) funny is that the guy is calling from florida...*facepalm*
+TECHNO GYPSY STYLE no such thing as climate change
Cenk, love ya, dog! I WISH WE COULD CLONE THIS, MAN! 😆
and give every country it's own Cenk! 😄
Just my thinking ^^
+Adam Kraft I would give one clone to every state of the union.
Cenk was very patient with the questioners and explained his views really well. Heck, if a conservative explained stuff like that to me, I would actually consider his viewpoints.
+arrow storm Still not getting over that name, kid the only reason you even know about that is because you read the youtube comments..
***** Wasn't talking about your avatar name... What's wrong with mine? Can't be a fan of something? I honestly don't understand someone being upset due to the name of the young turks.. the co-host is Armenian..
+arrow storm Cenk's statement on the Armenian genocide: www.tytnetwork.com/2016/04/22/rescinding-daily-pennsylvanian-article/
Cenk is awesome in this. Love how he responds to the conservatives with such patience and reason to support his arguments.
Cenk is fantastic in this. A great spokesperson for our movement.
Cenk Uygur, the best explainer in the news. Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooo much.
Cenk did so well answering those lunatic callers. I could not have been so kind.
+Melisa Bailey well Cenk did debate Anne Coulter so he's kind of used to dealing with lunatics
Keith Parker That's true! I forgot about that. Man what a shit show that was.
+Melisa Bailey Problem is people who disagree with him will either say that he is not strong enough when he is kind to them or that he is a brute when he has really strong points. He just can never win in their eyes. There are people that say that Anne won that debate because Cenk wasn't strong enough but if he had been more aggressive with his responses then they would be calling him a sexist or a brute.
+Melisa Bailey I notice that Bernie stays on message also, and doesn't get sidetracked in 2ndary points (eg that global climate change is real and the we are in for droughts, desertification, food and water shortages, etc)
Alexander Suarez True, debating rarely works. People just become more entrenched in their original way of thinking.
omg I love that they show the super delegate scores at the same time as Cenk says that anyone who is showing the super delegate scores is a bad journalist - BRUTAL
+josh mcgee they were so ashamed. Right after he said it, they stopped showing the scores lol
+josh mcgee But the difference is that they listed both superdelegates and regular delegates. If you're going to do that then it's fine because you are stating that they are difference. What's bad journalism is when they just combine then and don't even tell you about it.
This was amazing. How do people not get it by now? Cenk tells it like it is and always tells the truth .
Cenk's face during that first Republican caller is priceless. So funny!
Cenk: whoever is counting super delegates are misleading people and are bad journalists.
Right at that moment the screen counting super delegates shows up lol
Great line and timing Cenk!!
Cenk is awesome. Great answers!
+Hannah G-K - All common sense!
Cenk got in an "Of courseee" lmao
+Retalak I wonder if they're betting on it.
Cenk was good! He was less dismissive of Republicans than he normally is so he was more effective as a result.
Just by having Cenk Uygur on TV C-SPAN just increased its own credibility
+Mingda Sun By having a lying sack of shit on their air?
+Paulie Walnuts What did he lie about?
Kurt Glathar
He said Bernie's tax plan will help the middle class but he fails to mention that even Sanders himself said taxes would go up for everyone under his plan plus he's lied about various other things that aren't specifically related to Sanders.
+Paulie Walnuts in return for free tuition at public universities and healthcare, yeah taxes are going up that's called paying for your proposals
and not putting everything on a magical credit card for generations down the line to pay
if that's your main complaint, that Bernie wants people to pay several $thousand more in taxes to get in return, a vastly superior healthcare system like Germany's, and college for anyone who wants it badly enough and demonstrates ability, thus making our workforce competitive since we are #20 in education worldwide and are slipping even more every year, losing out to countries like Sweden and China (SOCIALISTS)...
long story short you have nothing to complain about
Mingda Sun
China, Russia, Ukraine, North Korea, Albania, Yugoslavia, Libya, Iraq, Sudan. All with histories or present day socialism that brought nothing but suffering to their people. Whether you like it or not, so called democratic socialism will eventually lead to full blown socialism.
You should read a history book.
Video title should be "Cenk Uygur drops a mike 100 times in 44 minutes".
Am I the only one who would be incredibly disappointed if Elizabeth Warren became the VP for Hillary Clinton?
I feel like that would be such a slap to the progressive movement. Like Warren selling out. On the other hand, one heart beat away...
+BeastEG kinda sort of, On the other hand I understand the desire to unify the party and what not.
That said progressive agenda would be in trouble since our Gov is a republican and would likely replace Warren with a republican
Or....its a spring board for her eventual attempt at being elected president. Think of it this way, right now Warren is a progressive superstar for progressive Democrats, but if she were VP and had the national spotlight on her for 4 or even 8 years, she could seriously tear shit up, I think the general population would love her even more than a president Hillary, which is why exactly why she will never pick Warren as VP.

Cenk, you nailed it! ❤
Cenk: Terrific!
I am a poker guy and you Cenk are too... Well played sir, this was eloquently handled. You stand for the people and it shows, ty Cenk
holy shit they showed the super delegates included just as he was saying only bad journalists do that lmao
"Socialism is when the government does things." ~Cenk Uygur
Loved her laugh when he said Donald Trump barely can speak English :P
What makes a Cenk Uygur? Is it brilliance? Is it truth? whatever it is we need more of it.
+Flaming Mclips
What makes a Cenk Uygur is defective DNA.
And believe me, the world does not need more of it.
+18661873 ...the dude just proved all of his points vividly and you still call him stupid?
+Cakeless | Home of the Cakes |
In the first two minutes alone:
0:44 "We have a clown for one of the nominees for President." This is ad hominem-not a point.
0:50 " Republican nominee for President has at least a 40% chance of winning, normally." These are statistics he made-up with no basis in fact.
1:05 "We live in the most evil world." You are correct. Cenk has proved that there is only one world we live in-not parallel universes.
1:13 "He never makes any sense." More ad hominem-no cogent points.
1:45 "He is dangerous." More ad hominem-no cogent points.
"2:06 "Can anyone trust anything that Donald Trump says?" More ad hominem-no cogent points.
Cenk Uygur is a hack. He always has been a hack and he always will be a hack.
+18661873
0:44 - Trump is in fact a clown. He has silly hair, silly make-up, rounded torso, and makes people laugh. To his credit, he became very popular as an entertainer on television.
0:50 - Without Cenk quoting a source, I too am curious where he derived this statistic. But without you providing proof to the contrary, how do YOU know he is making this up? Furthermore, as you quoted it, he said they have "at least a 40% chance." That is totally believable. At least 40%? What, do you think it is less than that normally?
1:05 - Indeed.
1:13 - This is actually a case of referring to what is common knowledge in many circles. I do realize that it may not seem like knowledge to others or yourself. However, to many people, Donald Trump's debates, interviews, and even some speeches have conflicting thoughts and incoherent answers to questions. When I say incoherent, I mean that, although his answer may be a complete sentence, it does not correlate with the direct question being asked. It implies that he does not understand the connection between the question and his own answer. Thus, it does not make sense to some people. For references, see republican debate where he fails to defend his economic plan against the questioning of Fox news panelists and the interview with the Washington Post editorial board from around mid March.
1:45 - Again, this is similar to the above point. It is common knowledge in some circles, therefore, he does not feel obligated to provide proof statements. Perhaps some people are new to this, however, many people have followed the many hate crimes and aggressive behavior presented by Trump supporters at his rallies. Also, Trump is often himself belligerent and encourages this behavior in various videos. I realize the counter to this would be that protestors have been apart of this violence. First, non-violent protestors have been assaulted. Second, if there are violent protestors, that is a shame. I wonder why they feel the need to do so. This is all without referring to his alienation of minorities and the perpetuation of ideas that are offensive to other nations. I provide no sources - they are abundant and would be evident to anyone paying attention.
2:06 - This, if you understand the previous two points, is a perfectly acceptable question to raise about the trustworthiness of Donald.
to quote you "Cenk Uygur is a hack... always will be a hack." This does not discredit his points. This is ad-hominem.
+Michael Smith
So your defense of Cenk Uygur is your own ad hominem, prove Cenk wrong by making his point for him, and the rest is common knowledge.
Sorry. I am not convinced.
Cenk proves is a hack because of interviews like this one.
He has always been a hack because neither the law profession nor the news profession will employ him.
And he always be a hack because he doesn't understand this and will not refine his skills.
I wonder if Cenk changed any of the minds of those republican callers. It was almost sad to see how easily Cenk discarded them.
+Aemil Palm its like someone didnt read enough or something wierd, becus their logic isnt normal , why does people have such wierd views in the same issue ? are they clouded or something or hard too understand whats infront and behind at the same time?
Chronosphere Steen They're weak minded and watch too much Fox News.
:/
Debbie Matzen The sky is green.
See? I can make declarative statements too. Doesn't make them true.
+Aemil Palm ok so what did he say that was true? is he aware trumps lowering taxes and increasing regulations and taxes on the rich while bringing money and corporations back from overseas and replace Obamacare? all of which democrats have done to make worse. and also why did bernie pay 12 percent in taxes when he made over 200 grand 2 years ago? u are awarding he is getting rich off donations right? also explain how bernie spent 3 million on private jet travel more than double what the republicans spent not counting trump because he uses his own money. how did bernie blow past 80 million and still asking for money when trump doesn't ask for a dime?
cenk is so well prepared. damn great job
loving the exposure that tyt is getting, just as you get bigger don't forget where you came from, love you guys :)
LOVE how the delegate count comes up with Superdelegates and then goes away. LOL
+Michael Scott I know - hilarious. It was at the very moment Cenk was calling it out.
I can't believe I watched that whole thing. I just intended to skip around but of course Cenk is just the perfect clear headed, well spoken commentator I've ever seen. I had to watch the whole thing. Well done Cenk. Well done.
downloaded and listening to this as I go out for a 10k run lmao.
+Defined Edits ayy lmao, run!
+Defined Edits 10k? im just gonna run out to the mailbox
I can't even walk up stairs without breathing slightly faster...
Dude, Cenk is really calm. I mean: People call me way too calm, but if I was in his position I would have been outraged at those callers who knew jack shit about taxes or socialism and communism...
Half of the callers needed the spittoon sound effect.
😂😂😂 thought the same thing
Cenk droppin knowledge like a BOSS!
Great job on C-SPAN Cenk! You were on your game.
Cenk should run for president when he gets a bit older!
+Daniel Valerio
Cenk wasn't born in this country, so that's not possible. Plus, why would he?
+MyLostTemple I was sure his father immigrated before he was born? While he spent summers etc. in Turkey???
MyLostTemple Ummm, I don't think rules matter anymore. We have Drumpf the clown celebrity who insults anyone live on tv and who has absolutely no experience whatsoever in running a city or state, we have Hillary the criminal who has killed people yet somehow she is above the law and runs around loosely as if she has done nothing wrong, and Cruz an immigrant born in Canada. It is my belief that Cenk was born here and it was his parents who immigrated here. I could be wrong but like I said, it seems like no one follows the rules anymore.
Daniel Valerio
Cruz is only able to run because he was born from one of the parents who had American citizenship, the only controversial part is his mother who held a dual citizenship at that time, which might cause a problem or inconsistency with him able to run, but the rule/Natural-born-citizen clause isn't clear about how person is able to run who was born from parent who was dual citizen.
And you are sadly mistaken, the rule absolutely matters. This is the US, any clowns or fools can run for presidency. Ever heard of Ronald Reagan? You do know he was a Hollywood movie actor before he became the US president?
MyLostTemple
Mistaken? No absolutely not. I'm fully aware Ronald Reagan was an actor. However, that was a horrible example, and I will tell you why. First, he was not a hot head clown celebrity with the maturity of a ten year old who started twitter fights the second someone disagreed with him(which I know there was no twitter back then, but simply just an example). Second, you forgot to mention he also served as governor of California. My problem is not with Trump being a celebrity, but with him having zero experience in running anything. How can we possibly hand the responsibility of leadership of the greatest country and strongest military in the planet to this clown who has no experience? Just because he has fame and money, should not be a ticket to presidency. When one applies for a high end job, one is expected to put previous experiences on job application. President should not be an exception, especially when it's the highest position in our land. If he really cared for running for president, the least he could've done was provide us with some history and could have put a little effort in being a dictator of some state or city, before jumping straight into president. We have foolish laws such as Citizen's United that protect corporations under the first amendment and allows them to donate infinite amount of money to candidates, and in return get favors if those candidates get elected. Asking for Cenk to be a possible president does not sound nearly as foolish as that. It was also something I didn't expect anyone to take too seriously. I was simply showing my support for this amazing progressive man, and show that he would be someone I would definitely vote for if he could possibly run for president. I will not die if Cenk is never considered for president. There are many progressives popping up. This progressive movement is for reals. Nothing can stop it. It may not be Cenk or Bernie who make that change, but both are the foundation of what is to come. Older generations that have conformed to living in a rigged corrupt political system are dying, while new ones that tend to be a lot more progressive are rising. It's only a matter of time.
Cenk trying not to laugh at callers silly questions. Boy got patience !
That was incredible! Cenk did amazing!
BERNIE SHOULD BE PRESIDENT... DAMN SMG
America is the sorest loser.
Beautiful Interview on C-SPAN, all criticism and questions answered back directly and to the point, I wish more people in or focused on politics answered that way.
Republican callers were so stereotypical it almost hurts lol
