@Tripleblade 82 Yeah because this generation is so awful with attempts at less racism, less crime, less drug use, and trying to clean up what the rest of America left for them.
Tripleblade 82 all you have to do is look at the FBIs annual crime reports. Violent crime dropped 38% from the 80s to the 2010s. To say that crime hasn’t dropped would be dumb of you to say and you’re just using your bias to pass judgement. I see you have the Patrick Star type of lifestyle
44444444 1111111111111 So he objects to both? Then he has to support the winner since he did not participate like 45% of eligible voters. That means 45% must be quite and wait until next election, or leave to where they will vote.
I agree with you, but that move wasn't that smart. One could blame it on the American system of only having 2 strong parties, and say, in a perfect world this 3rd guy would have a chance, so I'm gonna vote for him. But if you know that it's either Hillary or Trump, and that turns out to be correct and you still vote for another candidate, then it's like you haven't voted at all. In a system where only one of two can win, and you don't like one, and you really don't like the other, you vote for the first of the 2. That's what you call being an adult.
It’s a huge credit to TNT and these guys and a major discredit to all the political networks that a show composed of NBA analysts has better, more respectable political opinions than a large number of hosts on Fox News/CNN/MSNBC. if only everyone approached it like these guys; respect to each of them.
Guys like Ernie shouldn't run for the Oval Office...have to compromise themselves spiritually to get stuff done. Just like David wasn't allowed into the house of worship becoz he had blood on his hands being a warrior
Glad to see NBA has the guts to express opinions. I am from Europe and this would not happen in any sport here... Having values and using the succes of the organization to express what you feel is a great thing.
Romain Laroche We only do that in America when it is against the republicans. It doesn’t happen toward the democratic Party. It doesn’t take “guts” “for the NBA to speak out against a republican- it’s just the status quo.
@The Unknown I'm Frm uk..and sadly not all have got the right idea.here or in Europe. . . Thankyou big shaquille...I love what you saying. .YOU 2 make sense..and it about the future of ALL LIVES. .All LIVES..Matter..in all walks of life in all parts of this earth... x
Kenny voted for Trump because of his taxes. Shaq did too. You don’t have to agree 100% with Trump but you can agree with other policies. In this case Kenny votes for Trump because he wants to save his money. You can tell from this segment who the Trump supporters are. The ones not admitted to not voting for him. Shaq and Kenny voted to protect their money.
@@johnkttraining uhm actually, most religious people like to mock other people's religion and atheist. so it's the other way around. people who don't believe in god and only follow philosophies are actually more respectful and much more educated
@@beattheovenludwigvan Most PEOPLE tend to mock other peoples views, beliefs, political ideologies, religions, religions, cultures, etc etc... That statement is meaningless. As for atheists being "more educated", that usually has MUCH MORE to do economic standing in that particular society.
@@beattheovenludwigvan Lol okay. I've NEVER seen a Christian going around randomly ripping atheists, but almost every day I see atheists ripping any remotely Christian remark about praying or God Bless you, etc. Talking about imaginary sky God's and whatever disrespectful comment they can think of. As for the "more educated and respectful" bit, what a farce. You have any statistical sources to back your claim?
LOL He gets me every time because he says it as if he's expanding on what he said, but then you realize he's just repeating the exact same thing. Haha!
I'm a Christian too, and man, I really hope not just Christians but all that has Faith, just pray and love everyone! Love these guys, especially Ernie!
Good Job TNT( Sports ) And Awesome job E.J. your thoughts were pure and genuine and from the heart. And I was glad to have heard your sentiments on this election God Bless you brother.
I did not expect such a mature and logical response from an NBA talk show. “We have to give him a chance” is probably the best thing you can say on tv especially to a large impressionable audience.
Love you guys especially Chuck! Im mo Christian but if i could be half of who u are EJ, i'd be blessed. No more hate, global love y'all! Love from Cambodia!
Ernie Johnson is a good man. What he said about loving others and praying for our leader is absolutely profound and true. People need to stop criticizing Trump and protesting. They are destroying cities and relationships.
There's a HUGE difference between loving others/praying for the country and not criticizing a politician. Don't blindly follow your leader just because you have hope that everything will turn out okay.
I can’t believe I’ve never seen this video before. Absolute class from all of them. Even though they aren’t fans, they hope to see DT succeed. Praying for your leaders downfall was such an odd thing to see. If he succeeds, we succeed. More people need to speak like these gentlemen.
@@Shockkings0714 He started with a booming economy taken out of a recession and now want to be credited for an unemployment number that's been trending down for 8 plus years starting with you know who. And now the yield curve has inverted so it'll skyrocketed up thanks to the clown.
As a conservative, nothing but respect for Chuck and Shaq for being willing to give Trump a chance. You don't deserve a chance if you don't give others a chance.
I really miss those days. I had a great year in college and with my roommate who introduced me to this video. I also heard no bad news regarding racism at the time. They were simpler times for me.
I like this little chat despite what a lot of people say about keeping sports and politics separated. Almost made me tear up. It's just a few people talking about whats going on in the world and what they feel about it. No need to get offended.
Is Ernie the 2nd coming ??????? I have so much respect for this man and what he does. I wish I was half the man he is. If I could one day shake this mans hand and tell him how much respect I have for him, I would be grateful. ERNIE 2020!!!!!!!
I'm not gonna lie, I watched HOURS of French and American news programs, and it's probably the best analysis I've seen. Seriously, it's so f'n rare to see guys not yelling at each other trying to prove they're right.
Never had more respect for the guys in Inside the NBA. Even tho they didn’t like the results, they still moved on and aren’t still creaming and crying about it like most of the mainstream media and talk shows. And much respect and love for Ernie for not letting TV get in the way of expressing his true feeling and emotions. God bless
Have never seen this before. Respect for Chucks thoughts, Kenny was blinded by media hate, Respect for Shaq as well, Ernie too, at least he had a moral compass both ways.
Ernie is a true gentlemen. actually all these guys handled this with class you rarely see nowadays.
Tripleblade 82 that’s a massive generalization, I try to avoid those
@Cam Matthew ok hillbilly boomer
Cam Matthew who raised the new generations????

ernie is a really smart man, the only tv host with the balls to say he don´t vote even for hillary o trump

He voted for someone so he still used his voice so he still has a say.
right I voted Gary Johnson

@Patrick Ellis "My vote, his vote and none of our vote make a difference" is statement from a man that has given up on democracy. end of story.

That's true.
Jake Durbin no they don't
Metal Elitest yea they do every time I watch a mainstream news channel it’s like a two kids arguing at a playground
Sir Cartier you watchin cnn huh
The Unknown very well said
I know I'm not the only person who almost cried listening to E.J.
God bless you dawg
Facts when he got to talking about god I got misty eyed
@@MG-es8uz Outsourcing our decision making to a mythical being got us into this mess.
I'm not religious at all, but the way Ernie spoke made me feel some type of way.
Nope. God bless you too bro
@@seanammon6993 it's cause he was speaking the truth

I was expecting Charles to say "Ernie this is trrrrble this guy a knucklehead"
YES ‼sounds just like him 😭
Barkley is actually a conservative if I’m not mistaken
Al Phuckya he’s a moderate there has been times when he’s voted for democrats and when he’s voted for republicans
Ernies first problem was when he said he watched CNN!
@@FecalMatador he literally said in this video he voted for Hillary
when is Ernie running for pres though?
The presidential state of the union address will be replaced by "The pre-si-dent's Neat'o, stat of the niigghhtt!!"

toptenguy1 presented byyyy no one
Guys like Ernie shouldn't run for the Oval Office...have to compromise themselves spiritually to get stuff done.
Just like David wasn't allowed into the house of worship becoz he had blood on his hands being a warrior
Scottie Pippin for Secretary of De-Fense! Clap clap clap.
I respected Ernie before but that just tripled
Hahahaha
Ernie played the cop out. Many people have done that post trump. Just say the middle and both sides are bad and you won't alienate any viewers
Notice how different TNT sounds than ESPN. No wonder one is doing well and one is suffering.
Because ESPN is in the pockets of China. They’re owned by Disney
Ernie Johnson said: "How can I be a fountain, and not a drain!!!" I Love this quote!!!
After Ernie's speech no one should say a word, he just wrap it up with true wisdom.
Much better take than 99% of news/media
Literally
Glad to see NBA has the guts to express opinions. I am from Europe and this would not happen in any sport here... Having values and using the succes of the organization to express what you feel is a great thing.

One week later Chuck is bricklaying in the studio, claiming he's gonna build the wall lol
😂😂😂
EJ WENT SO DEEP BRUH.
HE HAD THE CAM FOCUSED IN AND SHIT ALL I MISSED WAS SOME EMOTIONAL MUSIC! CELINE DION UP IN DIS
😂😂😂
I love Chuck but man he always repeats his statements a million times
Eduardo Manrique we have to give him a chance lol
That's what makes him Chuck 😁. It isn't Chuck when hes not getting roasted for his habits lol
the beauty of the chuckster
LOL He gets me every time because he says it as if he's expanding on what he said, but then you realize he's just repeating the exact same thing. Haha!
He's the basketball version of madden lol
Ernie Johnson is class personified, my favorite sports commentator because he's such a great guy.
I think they all had great answers but Ernie's was by far the best. Much respect to this group
Shaq: "A guy with not political experience is president......" (Internal Shaq Thinking: I wonder if I can be president???)
Wow TNT was far more professional about it than ESPN
I'm a Christian too, and man, I really hope not just Christians but all that has Faith, just pray and love everyone!
Love these guys, especially Ernie!
these dudes smarter than most people
Shaq has doctorate degree, dudes actually humble
@@ch.illmatic yeah and Kenny was very scholarly. But chuck idk about chuck
It's ch.illmatic Shaq is smart but he definitely ain’t humble lol, nor does he need to be
Hold this W up high EJ!
Ernie... 👏👏👏👏
He absolutely nailed it.
*Chanting* ERNIE!! ERNIE!! ERNIE!!

Love you guys especially Chuck!
Im mo Christian but if i could be half of who u are EJ, i'd be blessed.
No more hate, global love y'all!
Love from Cambodia!
God still loves you, even when you go out of your way to separate yourself from Him. You still have time to change. God bless.
Ernie for president bro 😂💯💯
This went viral and you missed it NBA on TNT! Upload these right after they air if you want to do the internet right
I feel like if Ernie ran for president, he'd unite the left and the right in a way no candidate had been able to.
Wow! Just saw this after all this time. Man big gigantic thumbs up to Ernie & surprisedly Charles. I really appreciate what he had to say.
Ernie 2020. What an absolute legend
Ok... Ernie's speech was AMAZING
I think EJ almost made Shaq cry..
I still come back to this a couple years later and still get inspiration from Ernie's part.
Ernie’s statement was stunning. We need not only more commentators like him, but more leaders, more human beings like him.
I didn't politically agree with any of them but I respect them so much for acting like adults
Shaq’s a trump supporter lol
ItsHaydn how do u know?
@ahhsnap _xbox 🤣🤣🤣 go do your research man
Everyone but Kenny Smith.
If anyone had common sense, they would see Ernie knows the truth
Ernie 👏👏
Ernie Johnson is a good man. What he said about loving others and praying for our leader is absolutely profound and true. People need to stop criticizing Trump and protesting. They are destroying cities and relationships.
The Claw Network I will respect trump when he starts to respect my race
What do you think about him now?
The Claw Network So true
There's a HUGE difference between loving others/praying for the country and not criticizing a politician. Don't blindly follow your leader just because you have hope that everything will turn out okay.
We're you saying the same things when president obama was the president and there was tea party rallies and protests throughout the country? doubt it
I literally got choked up watching this, love these 4 men
All these men handled this with class I'm genuinely impressed I wish more people handled themselves this way in general
#ErnieforPresident
EJ is the greatest
👏🏽 Ernie
Great statement Ernie.. so true
I remember watching this live. It hit you differently at that time
😂😂 Election night 2016 was the best night of television I've ever seen.
10X better on Social Media. My favorite tweet was someone tweeting "Live look at the Clinton watch party hitting the mannequin challenge."
Maga
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah I still go back and watch every now and then, can’t wait for the repeat!
You sure it’s not the teen choice awards?! You look like a creep bro. And I bet you deal with orange spray tan around your lips
Ernie is the best, I wish he called more baseball games. He is great in the playoffs. True gentleman.
thank you Shaq. "A guy with no politically experience". Like a half of Americans. Thank you.
Respect to Ernie and all these great guys, this was the most honest discussion on politics I've ever seen on tv.
Im just about crying listening to EJ!!! God bless you cuzzo!!!!!!
I can’t believe I’ve never seen this video before. Absolute class from all of them. Even though they aren’t fans, they hope to see DT succeed. Praying for your leaders downfall was such an odd thing to see. If he succeeds, we succeed. More people need to speak like these gentlemen.

wow, ernie dropped the mic. respect.
President Trump did exactly what u wanted Chuck and Shaq .....put the country first ........Hes done terrific

Very interesting to come back and see these reactions. Now its 2020. Let's see what happens next. Be safe yall.
Props to Ernie...mad respect.
Inside the NBA will always be the best.
I really miss those days. I had a great year in college and with my roommate who introduced me to this video. I also heard no bad news regarding racism at the time. They were simpler times for me.
Surprisingly candid.
Good for them... This kind of reason, despite disagreement, is rare in all forms of media
In your country mostly.
Ernie told America what it wanted to hear but Kenny told America what it needed to hear.
I like this little chat despite what a lot of people say about keeping sports and politics separated. Almost made me tear up. It's just a few people talking about whats going on in the world and what they feel about it. No need to get offended.

Woah. Ernie. You’re a role model.
God bless you!
ernie is the most inspirational person in the world God bless his soul
Great sports coverage
ernie’s the definition of class
I REALLY liked what Shaq said. It doesn’t matter how you fell about it, how you think of him, his supporters, his ideals. Give him a chance.
Ernie is a real man. God bless you Ernie !!
You just need to sit down and listen when a guy like Ernie talks
Ernie's the 🐐
I got chills when Ernie talked
And here I am watching this on election day of 2020
Have never seen this before. Respect for Chucks thoughts,
Kenny was blinded by media hate,
Respect for Shaq as well,
Ernie too, at least he had a moral compass both ways.
We live in a constitutional republic not a democracy
We really live in an oligarchy.
*Representative republic
Absolutely
WIsh more people have respect for the higher office. Charles Barkley is such a class guy.
I am glad this got recommended to me
10:40 Barkley making a great point
