I worked for TYT off and on btw 2013 - 2020 and helped start the union. Cenk's union-busting included smearing unionizing workers publicly by claiming the union originated as a ploy by his political foes to harm his congressional campaign, which is complete BS. It helped Cenk avoid having to answer 'why did your workers unionize?' because the answers to that question would reveal the kind of person he really is. In my case, I was working 40-hr weeks as a video editor while classified by Cenk as "part-time" in order to not receive benefits. He doesn't live the principles he sells his audience.
I have to laugh because I just recently started watching The Majority Report and one thing that stands out to me most is how much NOT a grifter Sam is.
I actually think that TYTs assessment that Sam was stealing Jimmy Dore's audience was correct, but I think it goes far beyond Jimmy Dore. I think that it is likely that a large chunk of TYTs disillusioned audience moves directly to the Majority Report. I wouldn't be surprised if Çenk has good internal data showing that The Majority Report is their main competitor.
" He may have issues with me personally. That's fine. I don't care." And this is why I love Sam. Dude is just steady and couldn't care less about internet drama.
My biggest green flag about this show is they are not afraid for the bulk of every day to be dry and boring as fuck. This is the expert we’re talking to today, serious conversation, no sensationalist fluff for views. That’s what the fun half is for, snowflakes.
I stopped watching TYT when ana started freaking out about squatters. They stopped focusing on the ultimate problem, homelessness, and started yelling about the byproduct.
Seemed to line up with her being a condo owner… if thats all it t takes to flip one to agreement with billionaires, while also objectively closer in everything to the homeless…. Not a good sign
@@mysticangel000I think you’d agree with billionaires the moment you felt unsafe in your neighborhood. Or would you run away from the problem and move to different apartment complex? Harassment is not a byproduct of homelessness.
@@EquinoxGate Billionaires are created by the same fucked societal forces that create so many homeless. It's like agreeing that every American should have cheap gas instead of public transportation then complain when the fucking planet is burning down.
It’s funny because Sam does *not* give a fuck. But I’m not shocked that there’s such an overlap between Majority Report and Hasan. They’re pretty much the only news sources I watch now. I’ve given up on most of the rest.
Makes perfect sense to me, they have most of the same positions with the main divergences being Hasan holding water for Marxist-Leninist campists in his community that can be traced to most of his worst foreign policy takes
Just watch the Leftist Mafia, thats the hosts of Rational National, Humanist Report, Matt Binder, Rebecca... Btw Francesca Fiorentini and her husband Matt Lieb have good shows as well.
Hasan (whom incidentally speaks highly of you guys even at times when you disagree with each other) made a good point, you can't grift on the left because there's no money in it. He acknowledges that his brand itself is an anomaly in all of this (getting 300k people in his chat on election night), nobody else even comes close. TYT used to get numbers like that, but they spent years arguing against their viewers when they got things wrong or were otherwise being rather unfair or unjust. Now they've become the grifters, and the sad part is that they don't even realize it. I think it's better for people to stop supporting them because their message is far too muddled, stress inducing, and now it's almost like they've become rich themselves... and somehow think that people are out to get their money or property. Maybe it's just a sign of the times, as a lot of right wing grifters from 8-20 years ago are on the decline too (if they're not in legal trouble), and TYT got too out of touch. Cenk says his policies haven't changed, but I guarantee that Bernie Sanders would not approve of half of the takes that they've been having lately. And Bernie's been saying the same things all his life. If Cenk hasn't changed, then he's that same asshole I watched 10+ years ago laughing about how fat Kim Kardashian's thighs were... I called him out on it and he got super defensive!
On the Kim Kardashian thing. Even way back when I largely felt positive about TYT, I've always felt super uncomfortable with how lowbrow and sorta /pathetic/ their coverage of celebrity gossip was. Considering how many left-leaning/progressive essayists have such meaningful things to say about things like parasocial relationships & the complicated relationship between audiences and celebrities, it always stood out as a sore thumb that TYT's coverage of such topics was basically TMZ-level in terms of attitude and opinions. I don't necessarily think they were simply lying about their views but there was always this dark underbelly to TYT that stood out whenever they threw in their opinions on non-political stuff. The first time it clicked to me how hollow their views were was when Jimmy Dore made this really violent anti-trans joke about punching a queen (implying if a trans person ever hit on him, he'd deck her out) and everyone just laughed at the 'joke'.
him defending jimmy dore even now, saying that Sam was wrong to criticize him is the worst thing Cenk was ever said, now with 10 years of hinsight i cant believe he said that. and i watched TYT when he talked about "hot teachers" abusing male students and how great that is.
Agreed. Now, I don't try to hold any of these people on pedal stools cuz I don't know them. However, his saying that just blew my cap off. Like, goodbye, sir.
Sam is probably the most genuine of all the big names (meaning, people with their own shows or networks) in leftie media. To call him a grifter is not only insulting, it’s just plain wrong. It’s a bad insult! Cenk’s an experienced loudmouth, he should be able to come up with something better than that.
Emma mentioned TYT crowdfunding. That always really bothered me--TYT is a for-profit company, and the idea that they were collecting DONATIONS as if they were a nonprofit activist group is almost the definition of grifting.
@@clarkkent8765Secular Talk doesn’t run ads though. The show is entirely funded by the viewers. TYT has advertisement deals. It’s quite literally not the same.
@@bravo561 last time I checked, donations were voluntary. Just bc u r for profit doesn't mean u r covering your losses. A lot of streamers have been struggling and begging for money for the past couple years
@@p0pimp2004 Thank goodness somebody with a brain is in this comment section. Leftist infighting always makes people lose the plot. TYT emphasizes thousands of times that people should only give what they can and to put themselves first.
Also, took millions in venture capital money 4 or 5 years ago and claimed it wouldn't have any effect which it clearly has. Pretty much the moment when TYT started to creep more and more right wing. Although, I just think the view counts dropped when Trump's first term ended and they really started embracing the both sides stuff they championed against for so many years for clicks. People love those clips of Cenk in random screaming matches with guests.
@@Kalivermore925 Let's see, they have garbage takes on; immigration(Cenk is Turkish and that Karen is Armenian), homeless people, black people with an opinion that's not based in respectability politics, or non trans gay people who aren't based in respectability politics. There's a reason a bunch of progressives don't like them. Most progressives really don't care all that much about just trans people.
Even people who don't like Sam's politics or his style recognize that he's sincere and consistent in his beliefs. Can't say the same for Cenk or TYT at this point.
TOTALLY DISAGREE!! THEY BOTH HAVE PATHETIC VIEWS ON MANY SUBJECTS. THEY CAN BOTH BE VERY NARROW MINDED SO KEEP AND OPEN MIND AND MAKE GOOD AND EDUCATED OBSERVATIONS. SAM IS VERY NARROW MINDED ON A LOT OF SUBJECTS
Hasan: Stop legitimizing right wing talking points Majority Report: Stop legitimizing right wing talking points Cenk (in the voice of Hank Venture): I AM THE LEFT!
I used to watch TYT, even bought a shirt at one point. Anna made me unsubscribe, but now hearing that Cenk is going after Sam I'm totally done with them.
I feel Ana maybe the one jealous of Hasan’s success. Cenk i think he’s just scared that they are losing all of their left audience to MR and other progressives on youtube and is just lashing out.
Same. Once I switched to MR (back when Michael Brooks was still Sam’s co-host), I only rarely watched a TYT segment if it was in my feed & seemed really interesting. Last time I watched, Cenk was actually scolding the audience about how progressives do & don't act … now I read they’ve dropped “Home of Progressives” from their slogan; very fitting, or rather “OF COURSE”! He & Ana both seem angry, bitter, burnt out, & in desperate need of getting away from social media … I’m just glad I never gave them any money.
...And then Ana started to join in the screaming match with her self-described shrill voice. Both of them yelling and shrieking at the top of their lungs! My gawd, that was (and still is) annoying! At some point, I was like, "At face value, how is Cenk any different from Alex Jones?" My viewing of TYT declined from the moment Ana gave the worst take of all about Putin when he was about to invade, claiming that he feels threatened by Nato and just wants to protect his border. They started this framing that the US is instigating war with Russia by reporting on the threat of a Russian invasion into Ukraine. That's when I thought, "No, she can't possibly be that dumb. Something's not right at TYT."
@@ks9610 oh my god, i did gave them money back in the day😭😭 But i think i stopped cause they were constantly begging for money and they wanted "to grow their business". That put me off
Just please don’t ever change man. You guys are about the only political podcast I can tolerate at this point because you’re consistent and keep the childish, low-hanging fruit BS off the agenda. A lot of these networks are just doing whatever they can to draw views and advertisers, it’s pretty obvious who actually believes what they preach.
Cenk is as big a grifter as the steaming pile of orange sht that got elected. He's just an arrogant, bitter, angry loudmouth who is pissed off because the elite won't let him in their club.
There's nothing wrong with being emotional. Cenk's rants made him approachable as a human being, that he isn't the perfect leftie. But that he calls Sam a grifter is just the cerry on the top that he got many facts not the right way and that's much more damaging: busting unions, his and Anas framing of some crime and immigrant stories and so on.
@@davidka8345 he's never been a progressive, he's always been a queerphobic conspiricist and racist classist bigot, you just ignored it, because he said other parts more loudly.
He was always annoying, but when he wasn't being hysterical and whiny, he used to have rational takes. Now he's just literally following Ana's positions.
Then you did not watch his hours long religious debate with Sam Harris. Cenk is brilliant, he always has been. He's a little brittle these days, but then so am I.
@@dap777754 Brittle? That's what you call that? I call it childish, with the voices and the rants are off putting, at best. He has far less of a chance of convincing someone of a point if he is frothing at the mouth, raving about the subject. It was one of the reasons I bailed on the main show.
@@dap777754 Then you did not watch his debate with Tucker Carlson at Politicon a handful of years ago. He lost his shit (which he does whenever he debates someone who disagrees with him) and decided to insult the audience. He is a shit debater and thinks he's smarter than he actually is.
@@-suphur Crocodile tears. No one is listening to or "getting convinced" by anyone these days- there are no ferries across the river. Cenk is upset because the stakes are so high. I'm upset too. I think it's perfectly rational to raise your voice when you see a country go Weimar.
I agree with Baptist h into progressive values. I will respect him for that. But Ana was literally only there for looks and her ethnicity. And now both of them are doing harm
You know what they say about the student outdoing their teacher… you’ve grown beyond your baby wheels with them…and they’ve went back to crawling on all fours lmao
RIP Michael Brooks, Cenk would have never tried starting beef with Sam if he was still alive. Michael would have made a standup special off of ripping into that whole cast and crew.
I mean even coming after him would be one thing but calling him a grifter? Like, if this guy wanted to grift he could get a lot more money a lot more easily
Can confirm. His union-busting included telling his audience the union originated as a ploy by his political foes when in fact it was Cenk's employment practices. (I'm one of those former employees.)
My concern I've had with TYT for a bit is they've been doing the same thing Jimmy did before he did his hard turn. They keep citing opinions held by a tiny minority of the left and behaving as if it is a majority opinion. Frankly it is deeply disheartening.
I started losing my taste for TYT about two years ago, when Anna started really going in on the homeless population in LA. Around the same time she seemed to have lost all patience for Cenk, which really seemed to interfere with the current topic, and just devolved in to vitriol. Cenk has always ran a little hot, which isn't really my speed, but I used to find myself in alignment with a lot of his general takes on various issues. He was on Pakman recently, and I really sensed a change in him since the last time I checked in. When I saw this tirade on Hassan's show it felt a bit like the final disappointment. I'm really glad this is turning out to be a one sided issue, there's really no point in engaging at the level of baseless character assassination. There's more than enough real world problems on the table right now, I couldn't be any less interested in tuning in to youtube drama.
Same for me! After he lost his race he just got so bitter and forgot how to do a show. Cenknwas just ranting about everything! I stopped watching tyt back then. Love Sam! He’s so cool and really wants to debate. Love that!
Yeah Cenk and Ana definitely started changing their tune a couple of years ago around the midterms especially Anna but both definitely became more angry and hot tempered after the progressives failed “force the vote” on Medicare for all debacle. Ok so progressives aren’t as effective as they could have been and lost, understandable I get it. But like a sports coach, you don’t stay angry the whole season. You regroup and strategize better. Cenk and Ana DID NOT!!! They started leaning right on crime, homelessness and Trans athletes. Not the way to go as real progressives.
I stopped watching TYT a couple of years ago. I still liked John and Ana but Cenks bombastic style was irritating even if I largely agreed with him. Then Ana started going off the rails and now Cenk calling Sam a grifter leaves me dumbfounded. It is sad to see former hero’s sliding towards the dark side. Just happy to still have Sam and Emma lighting the way.
Lmfao cenk has never discriminated against any demographic except armenian Christians. This is the issue. You can agree on economic policy and disagree on rehtoric and social policy. That Sam and you want to exile anyone who has wrong think is the thing cenk called out. Do better. You can't say that cenk is actively discriminating when he isn't. You disagree. That's not discrimination.
Wish John Iadarola would leave TYT. People love him. As do I. I have little doubt he could make what he is making now, maybe more if he just did his own thing. Hell join up with Francesca. The two of them were the main reason I used to watch TYT
12:48 Emma saying "This left is not online people who are pissing you off." THANK YOU! 🙏🙏🙏 I'm so sick of people trying to define "the left" as this tiny bit of anonymous keyboarders and phone pokers jumping on some off-based sanctimonious band wagon. We have real issues and gawd I can't roll my eyes hard enough at conservatives (and centrists) saying "This is the left. See how extreme they are!"
Exactly. He gets so emotional on camera for money. I hate his schtick even more because I had a roommate who used to copY the behavior and get himself all manic watching TYT.
The naturalized US citizen running for president while asking his audience for financial support, knowing full well he could not get on any states' ballot. Also he happened to of released a book within weeks of announcing his presidential run.
I have to say, when Cenk was using "but if you go that far, Republicans will call you extreme" as an excuse for being more conservative, it made me wonder if he's a losing step. Man covered eight years of them calling Obama a socialist for bland neo liberalism and if he can't see that the criticism will not just come, but escalates every time a Democrat is in office, he's just not as sharp as he used to be and maybe that makes taking right wing money easier.
The thing is, why do they care? They didn't lose because of it. They lost because Kamala didn't really stand for anything beyond donors. Kamala ran the most centrist, neo-liberal campaign they possibly could and they called her a communist anyway. Supporting marginalized people, to them is far left because of their opposition to the poor and trans people. Now liberals are starting to adopt that garbage. Every accusation they get from the right, is what they are taking upon themselves. How do they not see that? The right claims something, so then they blame the "far left" for the thing the right wing accuses them of.
Their rhetoric escalates when our rhetoric escalates, it's supposed to drown out our "He's a fascist because of these specific fascist things he's said and done" with their "He's a socialistcommunistmarxist because we say so", and leave people too lazy to think about it assuming that the points are equally hyperbolic and ignorable. We should keep calling a spade a spade, though - because the truth matters.
Exactly. That is to me an example of the problem the left has in the US. No matter what some Democratic so called leftist is saying, the right will brand them a communist or socialist. It doesn't matter. When the Democratic party finally figures this out, maybe things will change.
How dare the Majority Report grift their way into looking good by presenting correct information and being consistent on the issues?? They just want to steal the audience of people who don't do those things!!
His grift is managing MR well and living within their means so he doesn't need to grift. TYT got an absurd amount of money from their billionaire donor, and what did they spend it on? Lavish studio, pointless projects, hiring tons of people and producing barely anything of value. And instead of divesting from the management of the entire thing, everything was tied to the personal reputation of two hosts who wanted to be the rulers and kings. So when their reputation as hosts went down, so did the entire company and their network fell apart.
@@waltlock8805 some solid broken clock-ing on that one. meanwhile the people Cenk was calling out were all saying Biden needed to drop out / not run again _years ago._
I used to watch Tyt religiously. I just can’t stand Cenk’s constant creaming and yelling anymore. Idk what’s going on with Ana, but man she seems so bitter at this point.
She got SA’d apparently, I’m not 100% sure but I read an interview where she was claiming how ppl handled her claims is what drove her farther from the left. Which makes no sense to me but hey, I’m not in her head.
Sam has been so consistent in his beliefs!! Regardless of viewership/money calling him a grifter is hilarious. Cenk goes with the crowd and him and Ana have sold out completely
WHAT A BULLSHIT PERSPECTIVE!! Sam is so manipulated in many of his perspectives. He is more about trying to be cool and ratings then anything that has to do with reallity
I really don't understand any more what they're trying to do. I was a paying member for TYT since that membership drive Emma talks about, for exactly the reason she mentions. This was going to be the progressive counterbalance bringing facts in Trump's America of alternative facts, and I wanted to support that. For me it wasn't so much the trans stuff everyone's focusing on. That was like, ok, they might be wrong, but I'm not in a cult and I don't need to agree with everything. Let's agree to disagree and move on. But what I couldn't move on from was them pushing that NYT "Screams without words" story. Ana even got into twitter fights about that, shouting down everyone who criticized them, telling them to not watch the show any more. I was absolutely furious that - as a supposedly leftwing show - they were pushing what amounted to Israeli propaganda at a time when the support for Israel's genocidal onslaught was waning. I unsubscribed in disgust. It's absolutely hilarious that Cenk demands the mantle of being "the Left" while alienating his actual progressive audience by pushing rightwing stories (that either get immediately debunked or were already debunked at the time they were pushing them).
To be honest I moved on from TYT quite some time ago when it became apparent to me that they weren’t really on the mark with much of their analysis and reporting. No wonder AOC follows you guys. This is a reliable channel if you want information and honest debate about issues.
Cenk has brought this all on himself. It is sad though. He has done some good work in the past. I think it would be good if he took a six months to a year off.
Cenk has been too angry to watch for a few years… Hubris…gets old fast… Love tyt sports…but Cenk and Anna have jumped the fence toward the right long ago….
Meanwhile John still seems well grounded. It is funny to see people who used make fun of CNN for both siding issues doing exactly that now. And who impugned Rubin when he pivoted now doing the same in how gracious they are towards Trump.
@@billyvsbilly1transphobia is right wing. Being a transphobe makes him a right winger. I don't give a shit if someone disagres: you come after my rights to live a dignified life and you're a fucking right winger, period
it really sad. TYT got me out of the liberal pipeline as a teenager, Cenk’s coverage of Occupy Wall Street is probably why I’m a socialist today. Now Shaky Gerga is becoming a hopeless despondent boomer and it’s just…depressing
Cenk isn't on the left, plain & simple. He's a Republican at heart. The only reason he left the republican party is because of their handling of the death penalty. Now that Republicanism has a slightly modified aesthetic, he'll go back to it.
@@ComradeSam_007 I had a roommate who would watch tyt while I was mostly watching MR and Michael Brooks. We would have discussions about things we agreed on but he would get all manic like Cenk while I would struggle to keep him calm. I think Cenk may be getting high on his emotions and isn't able to be rational.
If you don't like people that are passionate about life then you definitely would not like Cenk!! I don't always agree with him but I REALIZE HE CARES about other humans!!
Cenk presents himself as a very serious “adult in the room,” but he came off as extremely thin-skinned and immature when the subject of Sam came up on Hasan’s stream. The one thing he brought up to “prove” that Sam was a grifter is that he tries to get into the algorithm of people who watch Jimmy Dore, Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, etc. Honestly, it just seems like Cenk is super salty that another leftist commentator has found a much better way of getting his message out!
unlike ana who is very clearly grifting, I don't think cenk is a grifter. so despite quitting watching tyt in 2016 after years of membership because they minimized the orange threat and promoted 3rd party voting, I still had some respect for cenk because I have thought he's genuine and his heart is in the right place no matter how wrong he is on several issues. but after calling Sam of all people a grifter on the cenksgiving stream, it was over. I wouldn't care if he called Sam wrong, ignorant, mislead, even stupid... that's basically disagreement. but grifter? give me a break. Sam is the one person everyone on the left respects, even those who frequently disagree with each other usually agree that Sam is legit. i got no respect left for cenk. none.
I still have hope for Cenk. I think he's mostly reacting from a feeling of betrayal regarding "the left" giving TYT criticism. His talk with Hasan was so disappointing tho. He acted like he was entering enemy territory.. he treats the left as the enemy! Idk.. I'm not a TYT watcher but it's sad to see him turning into the "old man yelling at clouds". Ana is absolutely a grifter and f* her!
We all see where Ana is going.. Cenk though is having some sort of Megalomaniac episode. He almost can’t stand other people have entered the space. His “I am the Left” moment will be his end
Cenk is losing it, he takes the slightest criticism very personally. I think that TYT is falling apart and he's becoming increasingly defensive as his friends abandon him and become grifters. I believe he's genuine and is just stubborn and butt hurt. His ranting on Hasan's show was embarrassing and I feel genuinely sorry for him as I think he's a good man and pressure has left him flailing.
I agree, and to some extent I feel for him but he's not willing to deal with it in a healthy and productive way - even with his nephew who he loves. It's very disappointing.
Sam responding to "You dont criticize Hasan because hes too hot" by just saying uhhh and moving on is endlessly funny. Like hes saying "Yeah, hes too hot to criticize, what can I say?"
TYT helped open my eyes to the left beyond MSNBC/NYX liberalism back in 2016. Im eternally grateful. That said it’s incredibly sad to watch their ideological implosion.
@@mamilove7998 yeah, no, we got it; he ran to point out the need to primary Biden. all of the people to his “extreme left” already knew this even before Cenk announced his campaign - these are the people he’s so insistent on quarreling with, and they’ve been saying this about Biden since 2020. meanwhile none of the Iibs to his right ever cared.
TYT got me into politics, but at this point I don't need them. I will always appreciate Cenk for getting me fired up to get full on into politics, but I've moved on.
TYT's like an old gf/bf that you drifted apart from... thanks for the memories, but we're two completely different people now and it's time to move on.
@@christianhviid2167 I wasn't sure tbh. But it was confirmed few years ago at a supposed journo convention when they just screamed at eachother. Was hilarious but made me realise Cenk was just as bad as Alex.
Totally the same. I graduated high school in 2016 and I found TYT and Kyle Kulinski and I definitely stopped watching TYT that year but I'm glad they got me into politics. At least Kyle has been consistent 💀
Yeah, too often they made me embarrassed when I agreed with them. Most of the time their arguments were so thin and partisan it made me super aware that I'm just pampering myself with some mindless emotional schlock from the same "team" by watching them
Cenk wanting to go to war with people that agree with him on 90% of things is so wild to me. He’s spiraling. I thought he only did that on piers Morgan lol
it was hard not to notice that when Hasan said he didn't want to take a sponsor for his election night stream despite Polymarket offering him a starting bid of 1 million dollars Cenk half-jokingly answered that he would have taken it.
Cenk, and especially Anna are a hot mess right now, that’s why I completely left their main show alone . I still watch the Damage report, Francesca , and a few others , that’s it.
I recently unsubscribed from TYT after seeing Ana go maga and Cenk start lashing out at the left instead of taking a hard look at himself and his own company. When he decided to run for President was the first big WTF, then it snowballed from there.
I recently unsubscribed from Pakman after his recent video putting down American citizens for being uneducated and going on an elitist rant. There’s a whole lot of shifting going on, which I think is good.
How did Ana go MAGA? Just because you disagree with her/them on somethings? That's the exact hyperbolic bullsh*t Cenk was talking about, proving his point.
Yeah that dude is a phony. His main concern after drumpf won the election was why people were unsubscribing to his channel. And he's not a real leftist.
@@sbrons1 Pakman's thesis is right. U.S. adults are often far less educated than citizens of countries we consider peers, and that means low information voters. Was it delivered in a sympathetic tone? No. So at the very least Pakman's got a tone issue. He talked a bit about financial planning way back and that was what turned me off. Being good with money isn't going to magically increase your paycheck and get you out of poverty.
I unsubscribed from TYT about 4 years ago when Cenk was advocating for withholding masks from Canada for COVID. Both countries produce masks and his attitude towards Canada was intolerable to me. (I understand if you agree that the US should have withheld masks, but it was just so petty of Cenk.)
Cenk and Ana only organized because they couldn't get a seat at the white patriarchy supremacy table,they are not now nor never have been left, the Right just kept rejecting them for who they were born as
I mean Cenk was a Republican and Armenian Genocide denier until college and Ana who is of Armenian descent never called him out on it, in fact she just let him get away with a half-assed apology and never spoke about it again!
Ana has always been two faced, but Cenk took me by surprise. Even looking back 10 yrs ago I still can't think of many instances that cried grift. But nowadays he is so obviously cynical.
That is one thing I always respect about Hasan, even if some of his takes hit me wrong. Most of the time, even if he disagrees with someone else's takes, he doesn't resort to that "he no agree with me so he bad" mindset like far too many others on the left succumb to. If a guy (like Sam) is legit, Hasan will admit it and even defend them when needed.
My favorite saying is "whatever anyone says about me is none of my business." Strangers online love to try and create drama between people for entertainment purposes. I'm glad Sam doesn't feed into it. I've always felt more peaceful once I realized I didn't have to respond to everything anyone said about me. It says more about their character than it does mine.
TYT hasn’t changed much it’s just they realized the left that they and I am part of has gone insane on various issues. Emma is just as much a left wing grifter as Rubin is a right wing one.
Because I have a brain that functions: I have actually realized that even though I may not always agree with Cenk and Ana: Their hearts are in the right place and they are trying to be objective and NOT ONE SIDED like MOST Channels!!
@@donaldtuttle-ts3syBe that as it may, they have not been on the ball as much. It used to be that their analysis of a situation was quite spot on. Can we go back to that TYT?
@donaldtuttle-ts3sy their hearts are not in the right place though. They have recently either been easily duped or actively promoted easily debunked lies and propaganda. He'll they only jumped on that train when they thought they saw the pendulum swing the other way and they decided they wanted to suckle at that $weet reactionary teet.
@@donaldtuttle-ts3sy And this is what we call a "parasocial" relationship. You do not know these people, you've never had a conversation with these people.

Again, I don't know these people, so they gotta work extra hard to come across correctly.
so i love Cenk (yes throw stones lol) but the way he spoke about u was insane. You are literally one of the best more clear eyed people on this platform especially for ppl on our side of politics. Love u Sam

par for the course
I remember that whole episode really well
He is just a flaming hypocrite.
Classic power tripping
I have to laugh because I just recently started watching The Majority Report and one thing that stands out to me most is how much NOT a grifter Sam is.
Yep 💯
Right? His ad reads could not be any more lifeless 😂 If he was grifting, I think he’d be a lot more enthusiastic about sponsors.
True
I actually think that TYTs assessment that Sam was stealing Jimmy Dore's audience was correct, but I think it goes far beyond Jimmy Dore. I think that it is likely that a large chunk of TYTs disillusioned audience moves directly to the Majority Report. I wouldn't be surprised if Çenk has good internal data showing that The Majority Report is their main competitor.
The most grifter he's ever sounded was his line reads for some of his sponsors.

I stopped watching TYT when ana started freaking out about squatters. They stopped focusing on the ultimate problem, homelessness, and started yelling about the byproduct.
her condo, you know, she wants to not see that when she walks into the lobby of her building.
Seemed to line up with her being a condo owner… if thats all it t takes to flip one to agreement with billionaires, while also objectively closer in everything to the homeless…. Not a good sign
I used to be a member of TYT. Ana put me off and I stopped watching a couple years ago . Glad I missed Cenk’s downfall. I no longer care.

It’s funny because Sam does *not* give a fuck. But I’m not shocked that there’s such an overlap between Majority Report and Hasan. They’re pretty much the only news sources I watch now. I’ve given up on most of the rest.
Makes perfect sense to me, they have most of the same positions with the main divergences being Hasan holding water for Marxist-Leninist campists in his community that can be traced to most of his worst foreign policy takes
I really like Rational National too. DD is measured, thoughtful, and fair.
Watch Secular Talk Kyle keeps it real
Secular Talk, The Rational National, Vaush and the Humanist Report are all really good too
Just watch the Leftist Mafia, thats the hosts of Rational National, Humanist Report, Matt Binder, Rebecca...
Btw Francesca Fiorentini and her husband Matt Lieb have good shows as well.
Hasan (whom incidentally speaks highly of you guys even at times when you disagree with each other) made a good point, you can't grift on the left because there's no money in it. He acknowledges that his brand itself is an anomaly in all of this (getting 300k people in his chat on election night), nobody else even comes close. TYT used to get numbers like that, but they spent years arguing against their viewers when they got things wrong or were otherwise being rather unfair or unjust. Now they've become the grifters, and the sad part is that they don't even realize it.
I think it's better for people to stop supporting them because their message is far too muddled, stress inducing, and now it's almost like they've become rich themselves... and somehow think that people are out to get their money or property. Maybe it's just a sign of the times, as a lot of right wing grifters from 8-20 years ago are on the decline too (if they're not in legal trouble), and TYT got too out of touch. Cenk says his policies haven't changed, but I guarantee that Bernie Sanders would not approve of half of the takes that they've been having lately. And Bernie's been saying the same things all his life.
If Cenk hasn't changed, then he's that same asshole I watched 10+ years ago laughing about how fat Kim Kardashian's thighs were... I called him out on it and he got super defensive!
On the Kim Kardashian thing. Even way back when I largely felt positive about TYT, I've always felt super uncomfortable with how lowbrow and sorta /pathetic/ their coverage of celebrity gossip was.
Considering how many left-leaning/progressive essayists have such meaningful things to say about things like parasocial relationships & the complicated relationship between audiences and celebrities, it always stood out as a sore thumb that TYT's coverage of such topics was basically TMZ-level in terms of attitude and opinions.
I don't necessarily think they were simply lying about their views but there was always this dark underbelly to TYT that stood out whenever they threw in their opinions on non-political stuff. The first time it clicked to me how hollow their views were was when Jimmy Dore made this really violent anti-trans joke about punching a queen (implying if a trans person ever hit on him, he'd deck her out) and everyone just laughed at the 'joke'.
Cenk's hubris has gotten out of control.
Nothing affirmed my choice to switch from TYT to Majority Report more than him screaming "I AM THE LEFT"
him defending jimmy dore even now, saying that Sam was wrong to criticize him is the worst thing Cenk was ever said, now with 10 years of hinsight i cant believe he said that.
and i watched TYT when he talked about "hot teachers" abusing male students and how great that is.

I didn't see the whole thing, but I swear almost every time Cenk opened his mouth Hasan was rolling his eyes because he knows his uncle is wrong.
Well Piker would be the expert in grifting. Its not like he puts in the effort to have informed opinions as someone like Sam does.
@@sypherthe297th2you kidding?
Well, Cenk is the self appointed pope of leftism
Sam is probably the most genuine of all the big names (meaning, people with their own shows or networks) in leftie media. To call him a grifter is not only insulting, it’s just plain wrong. It’s a bad insult! Cenk’s an experienced loudmouth, he should be able to come up with something better than that.
experience does not cure being a moron to his core
If there's a takeaway, cenk is very likely grifting
YES!
Conservatives LOVE to change the meaning of words. That's exactly what Cenk is trying to do.
Cenk was doing A LOT of projecting on Thanksgiving….
Emma mentioned TYT crowdfunding. That always really bothered me--TYT is a for-profit company, and the idea that they were collecting DONATIONS as if they were a nonprofit activist group is almost the definition of grifting.
I’m pretty sure most independent media does that, Kyle Kulinskis begging for money after video
@@clarkkent8765Secular Talk doesn’t run ads though. The show is entirely funded by the viewers. TYT has advertisement deals. It’s quite literally not the same.
@@bravo561 last time I checked, donations were voluntary. Just bc u r for profit doesn't mean u r covering your losses. A lot of streamers have been struggling and begging for money for the past couple years
@@p0pimp2004 Thank goodness somebody with a brain is in this comment section. Leftist infighting always makes people lose the plot. TYT emphasizes thousands of times that people should only give what they can and to put themselves first.
Also, took millions in venture capital money 4 or 5 years ago and claimed it wouldn't have any effect which it clearly has. Pretty much the moment when TYT started to creep more and more right wing. Although, I just think the view counts dropped when Trump's first term ended and they really started embracing the both sides stuff they championed against for so many years for clicks. People love those clips of Cenk in random screaming matches with guests.

@@millhousemillard2140 I really don't like Hasan
I used to watch TYT, even bought a shirt at one point. Anna made me unsubscribe, but now hearing that Cenk is going after Sam I'm totally done with them.
I was sad to see Emma leave TYT, however it did make me watch TMR, because of Emma. It i safe to say I no longer watch TYT since Emma left.
Side note: Cenk seems to be really jealous of his nephew's success
I feel Ana maybe the one jealous of Hasan’s success. Cenk i think he’s just scared that they are losing all of their left audience to MR and other progressives on youtube and is just lashing out.
Ana is even more jealous. She is meeting up and spending time with more and more right wingers.
Ana too.

Stopped watching TYT when I found MR. Couldn't stand Cenk screaming at me for 2 hours a day
Yeah the screaming got way too irritating.
Same. Once I switched to MR (back when Michael Brooks was still Sam’s co-host), I only rarely watched a TYT segment if it was in my feed & seemed really interesting. Last time I watched, Cenk was actually scolding the audience about how progressives do & don't act … now I read they’ve dropped “Home of Progressives” from their slogan; very fitting, or rather “OF COURSE”! He & Ana both seem angry, bitter, burnt out, & in desperate need of getting away from social media … I’m just glad I never gave them any money.
“OF Couuuuuuuurse!” Every 2 minutes
...And then Ana started to join in the screaming match with her self-described shrill voice. Both of them yelling and shrieking at the top of their lungs! My gawd, that was (and still is) annoying!
At some point, I was like, "At face value, how is Cenk any different from Alex Jones?" My viewing of TYT declined from the moment Ana gave the worst take of all about Putin when he was about to invade, claiming that he feels threatened by Nato and just wants to protect his border. They started this framing that the US is instigating war with Russia by reporting on the threat of a Russian invasion into Ukraine. That's when I thought, "No, she can't possibly be that dumb. Something's not right at TYT."

Calling Sam a grifter was just hilarious but shows how Cenk says things for an emotional response
Cenk bases his politics on his emotional reaction to people criticizing him so it makes sense
I like some in TYT but don’t take it too seriously. Cenk “running for president” was the biggest joke. I can’t tolerate Anna.
Cenk is as big a grifter as the steaming pile of orange sht that got elected. He's just an arrogant, bitter, angry loudmouth who is pissed off because the elite won't let him in their club.
There's nothing wrong with being emotional. Cenk's rants made him approachable as a human being, that he isn't the perfect leftie. But that he calls Sam a grifter is just the cerry on the top that he got many facts not the right way and that's much more damaging: busting unions, his and Anas framing of some crime and immigrant stories and so on.
@@davidka8345 he's never been a progressive, he's always been a queerphobic conspiricist and racist classist bigot, you just ignored it, because he said other parts more loudly.

@@-suphur Crocodile tears. No one is listening to or "getting convinced" by anyone these days- there are no ferries across the river. Cenk is upset because the stakes are so high. I'm upset too. I think it's perfectly rational to raise your voice when you see a country go Weimar.
It’s heartbreaking to see what Cenk is turning into. TYT was my baptism into progressivism and a primary voice I trusted for years.

Cjenk is Not Well
His business is falling off and not sure what to do. There is a ton of liberal media on RUclips and he cannot compete without trying to grift.
I agree with Baptist h into progressive values. I will respect him for that. But Ana was literally only there for looks and her ethnicity. And now both of them are doing harm
You know what they say about the student outdoing their teacher… you’ve grown beyond your baby wheels with them…and they’ve went back to crawling on all fours lmao

All you need to know about Cenk is what many former employees have spoke about. He’s a union buster who doesn’t follow his own message.
Can confirm. His union-busting included telling his audience the union originated as a ploy by his political foes when in fact it was Cenk's employment practices. (I'm one of those former employees.)
He used to be a Republican
My concern I've had with TYT for a bit is they've been doing the same thing Jimmy did before he did his hard turn. They keep citing opinions held by a tiny minority of the left and behaving as if it is a majority opinion. Frankly it is deeply disheartening.
I started losing my taste for TYT about two years ago, when Anna started really going in on the homeless population in LA. Around the same time she seemed to have lost all patience for Cenk, which really seemed to interfere with the current topic, and just devolved in to vitriol. Cenk has always ran a little hot, which isn't really my speed, but I used to find myself in alignment with a lot of his general takes on various issues. He was on Pakman recently, and I really sensed a change in him since the last time I checked in. When I saw this tirade on Hassan's show it felt a bit like the final disappointment. I'm really glad this is turning out to be a one sided issue, there's really no point in engaging at the level of baseless character assassination. There's more than enough real world problems on the table right now, I couldn't be any less interested in tuning in to youtube drama.
Well, Ana was sexually assaulted by two homeless men so that affected her viewpoint along with the reaction by the online Left to her change in tone.
i think the homeless population was going in on her
Same for me! After he lost his race he just got so bitter and forgot how to do a show. Cenknwas just ranting about everything! I stopped watching tyt back then. Love Sam! He’s so cool and really wants to debate. Love that!
Yeah Cenk and Ana definitely started changing their tune a couple of years ago around the midterms especially Anna but both definitely became more angry and hot tempered after the progressives failed “force the vote” on Medicare for all debacle. Ok so progressives aren’t as effective as they could have been and lost, understandable I get it. But like a sports coach, you don’t stay angry the whole season. You regroup and strategize better. Cenk and Ana DID NOT!!! They started leaning right on crime, homelessness and Trans athletes. Not the way to go as real progressives.
Yh, basically same, Ana's crusade on trans people really disgusted me as well...
I stopped watching TYT a couple of years ago. I still liked John and Ana but Cenks bombastic style was irritating even if I largely agreed with him. Then Ana started going off the rails and now Cenk calling Sam a grifter leaves me dumbfounded. It is sad to see former hero’s sliding towards the dark side. Just happy to still have Sam and Emma lighting the way.

Exactly. He gets so emotional on camera for money. I hate his schtick even more because I had a roommate who used to copY the behavior and get himself all manic watching TYT.
The naturalized US citizen running for president while asking his audience for financial support, knowing full well he could not get on any states' ballot. Also he happened to of released a book within weeks of announcing his presidential run.
Right? It's HIS channel and always wanting you to join. I was subscribed for about a week. Cenk is too much.
I have to say, when Cenk was using "but if you go that far, Republicans will call you extreme" as an excuse for being more conservative, it made me wonder if he's a losing step. Man covered eight years of them calling Obama a socialist for bland neo liberalism and if he can't see that the criticism will not just come, but escalates every time a Democrat is in office, he's just not as sharp as he used to be and maybe that makes taking right wing money easier.
The thing is, why do they care? They didn't lose because of it. They lost because Kamala didn't really stand for anything beyond donors. Kamala ran the most centrist, neo-liberal campaign they possibly could and they called her a communist anyway. Supporting marginalized people, to them is far left because of their opposition to the poor and trans people.
Now liberals are starting to adopt that garbage. Every accusation they get from the right, is what they are taking upon themselves. How do they not see that? The right claims something, so then they blame the "far left" for the thing the right wing accuses them of.
No, he is right these dumb ass trans issue's are meant to divide the blue collar vote
Their rhetoric escalates when our rhetoric escalates, it's supposed to drown out our "He's a fascist because of these specific fascist things he's said and done" with their "He's a socialistcommunistmarxist because we say so", and leave people too lazy to think about it assuming that the points are equally hyperbolic and ignorable.
We should keep calling a spade a spade, though - because the truth matters.
Time has passed Cenk by like Maher
Exactly. That is to me an example of the problem the left has in the US. No matter what some Democratic so called leftist is saying, the right will brand them a communist or socialist. It doesn't matter. When the Democratic party finally figures this out, maybe things will change.
The left needs people like Hassan. The right can keep andrew tate.

And instead of divesting from the management of the entire thing, everything was tied to the personal reputation of two hosts who wanted to be the rulers and kings. So when their reputation as hosts went down, so did the entire company and their network fell apart.

Kasparian as executive producer is ruining TYT. It's gone down hill since she took over.
I really don't understand any more what they're trying to do. I was a paying member for TYT since that membership drive Emma talks about, for exactly the reason she mentions. This was going to be the progressive counterbalance bringing facts in Trump's America of alternative facts, and I wanted to support that. For me it wasn't so much the trans stuff everyone's focusing on. That was like, ok, they might be wrong, but I'm not in a cult and I don't need to agree with everything. Let's agree to disagree and move on. But what I couldn't move on from was them pushing that NYT "Screams without words" story. Ana even got into twitter fights about that, shouting down everyone who criticized them, telling them to not watch the show any more. I was absolutely furious that - as a supposedly leftwing show - they were pushing what amounted to Israeli propaganda at a time when the support for Israel's genocidal onslaught was waning. I unsubscribed in disgust. It's absolutely hilarious that Cenk demands the mantle of being "the Left" while alienating his actual progressive audience by pushing rightwing stories (that either get immediately debunked or were already debunked at the time they were pushing them).
The craziest part is that Cenk wanted all of the credit for taking on the right. Y’all have literally been unsworn teammates the past 10 years.
TYT is not what it used to be. I do not follow it anymore. Anyways, I feel their content is pushing the wrong message.
Agree. I don't know what they're pushing exactly, but it's a mess especially with Ana
People are moving on from TYT. They're doing their centrist turn.
I think the failure of Justice Democrats really affected Cenk. It showed that his influence as a leader on the left is not what he thinks it is
Sam will always been an OG, and Emma made a great choice (and great contributions) coming over to work with Sam. Keep it up, TMR!
To be honest I moved on from TYT quite some time ago when it became apparent to me that they weren’t really on the mark with much of their analysis and reporting.
No wonder AOC follows you guys. This is a reliable channel if you want information and honest debate about issues.
I bet that Cenk and Piers Morgan in a year or two will agree 100%. 😂😂😂
They are basically merging into the same person.
I concur
They're gonna fuse to become Penk Morgur
@@binarystar300😂
Real
Cenk has brought this all on himself. It is sad though. He has done some good work in the past. I think it would be good if he took a six months to a year off.
Cenk has been too angry to watch for a few years… Hubris…gets old fast… Love tyt sports…but Cenk and Anna have jumped the fence toward the right long ago….
Transphobia melted their brains.
How is Cenk right wing? I agree. There's problems at tyt for sure
But right wing I don't see it
Meanwhile John still seems well grounded. It is funny to see people who used make fun of CNN for both siding issues doing exactly that now. And who impugned Rubin when he pivoted now doing the same in how gracious they are towards Trump.
@@billyvsbilly1transphobia is right wing. Being a transphobe makes him a right winger. I don't give a shit if someone disagres: you come after my rights to live a dignified life and you're a fucking right winger, period
@@billyvsbilly1 He's adopting right-wing culture war claims.
it really sad. TYT got me out of the liberal pipeline as a teenager, Cenk’s coverage of Occupy Wall Street is probably why I’m a socialist today. Now Shaky Gerga is becoming a hopeless despondent boomer and it’s just…depressing
I feel like so many of us had this experience. We grew up and then saw them for what they were.
You can be grateful for their opening your eyes, but if this is no longer the case, then it may be time to seek out other sources.
That was tough to hear from Cenk, that shit about Sam. Because if it were a contest for my views between Cenk and Sam....
sorry Cenk...
Cenk has decided to be the Joe Rogan of the left but the left has never wanted a Joe Rogan type.
Cenk isn't on the left, plain & simple. He's a Republican at heart. The only reason he left the republican party is because of their handling of the death penalty.
Now that Republicanism has a slightly modified aesthetic, he'll go back to it.
The left also doesn't want to win either.
"Decided to be" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here lol
@LiveAndLetLivia lol for real maybe another Alex Jones the way he conducts himself but not a Joe Rogan. Hasan could be the next Joe Rogan if he wants
The Left never wanted a Joe Rogan type, that's not what I'm hearing after the Election
Cenk isn't worth even addressing. He's a joke.
He's a liberal who needs guidance imo. He's a uncle I don't think the left needs a schism right now.
@@ComradeSam_007 he's a right wing propagandist
He’s just not serious.
@@ComradeSam_007 I had a roommate who would watch tyt while I was mostly watching MR and Michael Brooks. We would have discussions about things we agreed on but he would get all manic like Cenk while I would struggle to keep him calm. I think Cenk may be getting high on his emotions and isn't able to be rational.
If you don't like people that are passionate about life then you definitely would not like Cenk!! I don't always agree with him but I REALIZE HE CARES about other humans!!
I'm so glad I unfollowed their channel. Lost all kinds of respect for that dude.
I defended him in the past. Something I truly regret. He is harmful to the Left.
I’m sure you being gone isn’t noticed
@@rubin831you surely know the feeling
Emma...you nailed it...thanks for stepping up for Sam!
Cenk presents himself as a very serious “adult in the room,” but he came off as extremely thin-skinned and immature when the subject of Sam came up on Hasan’s stream. The one thing he brought up to “prove” that Sam was a grifter is that he tries to get into the algorithm of people who watch Jimmy Dore, Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, etc.
Honestly, it just seems like Cenk is super salty that another leftist commentator has found a much better way of getting his message out!
unlike ana who is very clearly grifting, I don't think cenk is a grifter.
so despite quitting watching tyt in 2016 after years of membership because they minimized the orange threat and promoted 3rd party voting, I still had some respect for cenk because I have thought he's genuine and his heart is in the right place no matter how wrong he is on several issues.
but after calling Sam of all people a grifter on the cenksgiving stream, it was over. I wouldn't care if he called Sam wrong, ignorant, mislead, even stupid... that's basically disagreement. but grifter? give me a break. Sam is the one person everyone on the left respects, even those who frequently disagree with each other usually agree that Sam is legit.
i got no respect left for cenk. none.
Cenk seems way more up his own ass
Promoting third party voting is an excellent stance - the Democrats supported genocide this time around. They are not fit to vote for.
Wasn't he grifting when he promoted Josh shapiro
I still have hope for Cenk. I think he's mostly reacting from a feeling of betrayal regarding "the left" giving TYT criticism. His talk with Hasan was so disappointing tho. He acted like he was entering enemy territory.. he treats the left as the enemy! Idk.. I'm not a TYT watcher but it's sad to see him turning into the "old man yelling at clouds". Ana is absolutely a grifter and f* her!
@@Cryosxify He also supported RFK jr. too.
We all see where Ana is going.. Cenk though is having some sort of Megalomaniac episode. He almost can’t stand other people have entered the space. His “I am the Left” moment will be his end
Cenk is losing it, he takes the slightest criticism very personally. I think that TYT is falling apart and he's becoming increasingly defensive as his friends abandon him and become grifters. I believe he's genuine and is just stubborn and butt hurt. His ranting on Hasan's show was embarrassing and I feel genuinely sorry for him as I think he's a good man and pressure has left him flailing.
I agree, and to some extent I feel for him but he's not willing to deal with it in a healthy and productive way - even with his nephew who he loves. It's very disappointing.
@@caitieeeee 100%
At this this point, TYT stands for TYTanic…
"I'd like to announce matt pac" had me cackling 😭
Sam responding to "You dont criticize Hasan because hes too hot" by just saying uhhh and moving on is endlessly funny. Like hes saying "Yeah, hes too hot to criticize, what can I say?"
TYT helped open my eyes to the left beyond MSNBC/NYX liberalism back in 2016. Im eternally grateful.
That said it’s incredibly sad to watch their ideological implosion.
Nothing last forever
Hilarious that Cenk actually thought running for president was a good idea.
Hey genius, you didn't pay attention to why he was "running".
@@mamilove7998I'm out of the loop and also not American. Can you please explain why Cenk was "running" for president?
@@lh8228 He claims that it was to put a light on how much of a terrible idea it was for Biden to run for president (this was before he dropped out).
@@lh8228egomania and to sell a book
@@mamilove7998 yeah, no, we got it; he ran to point out the need to primary Biden. all of the people to his “extreme left” already knew this even before Cenk announced his campaign - these are the people he’s so insistent on quarreling with, and they’ve been saying this about Biden since 2020.
meanwhile none of the Iibs to his right ever cared.
TYT got me into politics, but at this point I don't need them. I will always appreciate Cenk for getting me fired up to get full on into politics, but I've moved on.
You're becoming an adult 😂😂 Cenk was the Alex Jones of the "Left" 😂
TYT's like an old gf/bf that you drifted apart from... thanks for the memories, but we're two completely different people now and it's time to move on.
@@MrPiccolop Not a terrible comparison.
@@christianhviid2167 I wasn't sure tbh. But it was confirmed few years ago at a supposed journo convention when they just screamed at eachother. Was hilarious but made me realise Cenk was just as bad as Alex.
Totally the same. I graduated high school in 2016 and I found TYT and Kyle Kulinski and I definitely stopped watching TYT that year but I'm glad they got me into politics. At least Kyle has been consistent 💀
The Majority Report is the primary reason I haven’t lost my mind over the past five years or so
TYT lost me when Cenk announced he was running for prez.
I stopped watching TYT a long time ago when I realized that almost every single video of theirs consisted of 10% information and 90% moronic vamping.
very much the same
yep
and 100% of your ignorance is irrelevant.
Yeah, too often they made me embarrassed when I agreed with them.
Most of the time their arguments were so thin and partisan it made me super aware that I'm just pampering myself with some mindless emotional schlock from the same "team" by watching them
Cenk wanting to go to war with people that agree with him on 90% of things is so wild to me. He’s spiraling. I thought he only did that on piers Morgan lol
I believe the kids calling it a "crash out"
@banonKING crashing out on ya homies instead of your opps in politics is crazy😂
Welcome to leftist politics lmao
It's crazy because you don't see this type of infighting with Republicans. It's so hard to form a coalition on the Left right now.
@@anthonyrowland9072 yeah or
trump vs the entire republican party basically
I dropped Cenk.
I dropped them years ago.
it was hard not to notice that when Hasan said he didn't want to take a sponsor for his election night stream despite Polymarket offering him a starting bid of 1 million dollars Cenk half-jokingly answered that he would have taken it.
Thank you for addressing this
Cenk, and especially Anna are a hot mess right now, that’s why I completely left their main show alone . I still watch the Damage report, Francesca , and a few others , that’s it.
Sam should hire them too. Eventually they’ll get sick of Cenk too. John should definitely leave. He’s too good for them.
Same here 😎
Sam saying “I don’t care” is a soul-cleansing vibe. Aspirational
That’s our Sammy 💯
How long before Cenk goes to Mar-a-lago to break bread.?
Not rich enough for Donald Trump.
He'd love to be there but he's not important enough
Break bread? Never. Bake bread? Yes!
Hummus and pitas.
He's ready to go now, imho.
"I don't care at all." Cool. They're pushing you to behave poorly, wallowing as they choose, allow them their suffering. ❤
12:08 Matt always has a way to cut right to it. He nails it right here.
I recently unsubscribed from TYT after seeing Ana go maga and Cenk start lashing out at the left instead of taking a hard look at himself and his own company. When he decided to run for President was the first big WTF, then it snowballed from there.
I recently unsubscribed from Pakman after his recent video putting down American citizens for being uneducated and going on an elitist rant. There’s a whole lot of shifting going on, which I think is good.
How did Ana go MAGA? Just because you disagree with her/them on somethings? That's the exact hyperbolic bullsh*t Cenk was talking about, proving his point.
Yeah that dude is a phony. His main concern after drumpf won the election was why people were unsubscribing to his channel. And he's not a real leftist.
@@sbrons1 Pakman's thesis is right. U.S. adults are often far less educated than citizens of countries we consider peers, and that means low information voters. Was it delivered in a sympathetic tone? No. So at the very least Pakman's got a tone issue.
He talked a bit about financial planning way back and that was what turned me off. Being good with money isn't going to magically increase your paycheck and get you out of poverty.
I unsubscribed from TYT about 4 years ago when Cenk was advocating for withholding masks from Canada for COVID. Both countries produce masks and his attitude towards Canada was intolerable to me. (I understand if you agree that the US should have withheld masks, but it was just so petty of Cenk.)
I never found Cenk or Ana to be decent human beings. They always seemed two-faced to me.
Cenk and Ana only organized because they couldn't get a seat at the white patriarchy supremacy table,they are not now nor never have been left, the Right just kept rejecting them for who they were born as
I stopped watching TYT around 8 years ago, or so, and feel titanically justified in that decision today
I mean Cenk was a Republican and Armenian Genocide denier until college and Ana who is of Armenian descent never called him out on it, in fact she just let him get away with a half-assed apology and never spoke about it again!
I did. They covered Standing Rock. I was there. Hurts a bit to see them as they are
Ana has always been two faced, but Cenk took me by surprise. Even looking back 10 yrs ago I still can't think of many instances that cried grift. But nowadays he is so obviously cynical.
Hasan at the center of so much drama that he has pretty much has nothing to do with 😂
He tried to defend Sam but like it turned super combative
Legit feel bad for his position here.
That is one thing I always respect about Hasan, even if some of his takes hit me wrong. Most of the time, even if he disagrees with someone else's takes, he doesn't resort to that "he no agree with me so he bad" mindset like far too many others on the left succumb to. If a guy (like Sam) is legit, Hasan will admit it and even defend them when needed.
LIVE FROM THE POLYMARKET STUDIO IN LA 🗣️🗣️🗣️
And that 'punch in your face' guitar riff coming in at full volume 🤣
My favorite saying is "whatever anyone says about me is none of my business." Strangers online love to try and create drama between people for entertainment purposes. I'm glad Sam doesn't feed into it. I've always felt more peaceful once I realized I didn't have to respond to everything anyone said about me. It says more about their character than it does mine.
Agreed. I'm familiar w/that saying} very true
Considering where both Ana and now Cenk are going, I bet Emma is glad she got out of TYT when she did.
TYT hasn’t changed much it’s just they realized the left that they and I am part of has gone insane on various issues. Emma is just as much a left wing grifter as Rubin is a right wing one.
I used to watch Cenk, but he quickly went insane and I just couldn't take it anymore.
I've never liked cenk and/or Ana. And honestly, it feels so nice to hear others slowly start to join in
Because I have a brain that functions: I have actually realized that even though I may not always agree with Cenk and Ana: Their hearts are in the right place and they are trying to be objective and NOT ONE SIDED like MOST Channels!!
@@donaldtuttle-ts3syBe that as it may, they have not been on the ball as much. It used to be that their analysis of a situation was quite spot on. Can we go back to that TYT?
@donaldtuttle-ts3sy their hearts are not in the right place though. They have recently either been easily duped or actively promoted easily debunked lies and propaganda. He'll they only jumped on that train when they thought they saw the pendulum swing the other way and they decided they wanted to suckle at that $weet reactionary teet.
@@donaldtuttle-ts3sy And this is what we call a "parasocial" relationship. You do not know these people, you've never had a conversation with these people. You can not know if their heart is in the right place. You can think that, but I'm allowed to respectfully disagree. Why should I assume good faith when the words aren't matching it? Again, I don't know these people, so they gotta work extra hard to come across correctly.
I think Cenk is jealous when Hasan calls Sam his real uncle.
so i love Cenk (yes throw stones lol) but the way he spoke about u was insane. You are literally one of the best more clear eyed people on this platform especially for ppl on our side of politics. Love u Sam
