People seem to not understand the situation we are in. The debt is dragging down the economy. Paul Ryan is one of the only grown ups who realize that we are going to have to have some pain if we want to deal with the problem quickly and effectively. His budget unleashes pure capitalism and removes a cancer that has plagued the US since the 30's.
Wow!!!!! What a cool story!!!! My wife was so mad at me one time and left. As she was driving away and a song came on the radio singing "Baby, its time to come home" She saw that as a sign that God wanted her to come back to me and she did and we now have 5 wonderful kids. What you and I see by these things that great good is come is very different. I absolutley see His hand in our you and your parents lives.
Example 1 When I was a kid a car ran me over straight across my chest. I remember that and being rushed to the hospital. The dr. checked me out and went to line up the surgery room. My dad and uncle, who hold the preisthood gave me a blessing and when the dr. came back in and checked me out again asked where is the kid that got run over by the car as it wasn't me. I was healed. This wasn't infront of a group of people and wasn't for a show.
As a progressive I want increased taxes for the rich, ending the bs bailouts, changing foreign policy, and getting money out of politics. I don't think we need to cut healthcare etc to reduce the deficit. What do you think?
People should hate the gov't, and they have to go to gov't to destroy it if they hate it. Gov't cannot be stopped from the outside, you have to get in and destroy it from inside. Unfortunately Ryan is NOT the man to destroy the gov't from the inside. Ron Paul, Gary Johnson 2012.
Paul Ryan is the only chance America has to get rid of the deficit. His past voting record is irrelevant. It's his budget that matters. That is what he brings to the Romney ticket.
"Saving it" means putting it in a bank. What do you think banks do? They loan the money out. Automation is also not job killing. It merely changes the jobs that are available and expands production, which is a good thing. So is making things more efficient. Both of these things make higher end jobs.
Romney chose someone who can save america. If Americans don't want to vote for that, and instead want government handouts or to be told they are special and pretty, then America will not succeed. American voters should be adults who understand tough times are ahead.
It's not a crime to have money in foreign banks. Why not try to figure out why rich folks do that and try to figure out a way to get them to invest more in America, instead of mandating that they do so? Money goes to where it is welcome and benefits those help make more money instead of hindering it.
This is the reality I will shine upon you your wife was driving, heared the song, and deep in her heart she wished to go back to you anyway. The song touched that part of her subconscious mind and she realized what she wanted. When my dad wanted to commit suicide, his behavior had changed, my mom had picked up on that subconciously and when she realised it she went out to help him, just in time. I have many more stories which sound miraculous untill you understand how reality works.
Why would anyone care who Paul Ryan the man is, when his job is to be a politician. No one cares what kind of man their plumber is, as long as he fixes their septic system. Paul Ryan's voting record is important because it tells us how he does his job, and what his philosophies are. When you are the running mate for the Republican nominee for President these voting records are very important. What kind of man he is at home is not as important as the direction he will steer the entire country.
If they pay out less in benefits, that's a cut. If they raise the age limit, that means less benefits and that's a cut. If they switch to self-investment, that's less for SS and that's a cut. There is no reform measure that is not a cut, otherwise there is no point in 'reforming'. I didn't think there were still people feeble minded enough not to see that.
3:30 To be fair, we were obliged to help put down the terrorists in 2007 once we stirred things up and disbanded the Iraqi Army. It was chaos sown by vicious criminals, not mere "insurgents".
Before I knew anything about Paul Ryan, a friend (a fellow libertarian) referred to him as 'the man'. My, oh, my. WRONG. He's Sarah Palin-esque eye candy with dangerous contradictory views. He's smart, which makes him even more dangerous.
I hate Ryan, but I think calling him a hypocrite for "hating the government" while working for CONGRESS (senator, aide for a senator), as an ELECTED OFFICIAL, was a bad argument.
Example 1 When I was a kid I was driving across the street on my bike. suddenly a car came out of nowhere and was definantly going to hit me. I remember getting hit and flying upwards. But when I came too and opened my eyes, I was just cycling along like nothing had happened! Truely it was a miracle. And how is this even proving anything? So you got hit, fainted, and when you came too, you apperantly suffered no real injury. Big deal. No magical arm regeneration or anything miraculous.
I have known mormons and even went to their church for a while. Mormons are some of the most friendly people you can meet, but also some of the most quirky because of that. Everything is smothered under a coat of happiness and friendliness that shatters reality in the end. Truely the most heart fuzzy of religions, but also one of the most suffocating to survive in if you do not agree. It also has a very strong sense of ''us vs them'' and I do not believe in seperation of kindred souls.
Actually, I have a friend who was born in Vietnam and grew up there, he also spent some time in a Vietnamese prison, then got out of there as soon as he could. It was communist, then became corrupt, I'm very familiar with Vietnam, which is why I brought it up. There are far many more hungry people in Vietnam, and Russia, then there are here, why do you think that is? China is socialistic, which by its nature is a form of communism, there is no one trying to move to China.
There is no point pointing out Ryan's inconsistencies!!!!!!!! He freely admits that it is only correct to look after yourself!!! (Rand) But he voted for this.. he voted for that.. he took soc. security.. So what. He measures each of those things is it better for ME
No, they're not wildly biased, especially when compared to TYT. I already admitted they have subtle biases, but I can usually cross reference articles on Fox News and MSNBC and see no major differences.
I love how republicans are all about traditional and family values and national pride; however when it comes to coming together as people, as a community, helping one another out, "We the People" they turn a quick 180°.
Just give the money back. You've got millions. You can afford to donate 100K of whatever that you needed from Social Security to get thru college. Just do that, and we'll lay off a little bit.
back in 1812 there was no $1.2 trillion budget defecit. Today, the vast majority of the $1.2 trillion is allocated to military spend “overseas” and of, that, a majority is spent waging wars which are not in America’s interest, but in Israel’s. This $1.2 trillion does not include the $3.1 billion given to Israel as “military aid.” The baseline request for the Department of Defense (DOD) is $558 billion. so yeah keep rooting for obama, while i praise ron paul b/c he's a true patriot.
Is that a joke? I just got done responding to a person who called him a socialist. And you tell me that no one calls him a socialist? And he's not the fringe. Not even close.
Wow... He got to SAVE his social security? I know for a fact that when you're poor and trying to climb out of poverty, thanks 2 the many cuts which have been made, they won't help you with ANYTHING until you're practically starving. Then if you make more than the $325 for rent and $200 for support you have 2 give it back 2 them.
Ex. 3 I used to be a missionary. Me & my companion got called into the hostital to give a blessing to a church member we didn't know as she never went to church. My comp gave her a blessing of comfort & peace only. We had no idea what was wrong with her before we went in nor while we were there. She was asleep the whole time we were there. After we left my comp told me that the spirit told him during the blessing that she as gonna pass awat that night & she did. Want more? LOL BTW I'm a Mormon
Cenk Uygur is buttdevastated. God, I hope Romney wins. Seriously, though, here's a guy from a well to do family working several jobs and putting himself through college. That says EVERYTHING about the guy. He's a hard-working fellow.
Yes, their online website is decent. I've already explained to you that I'm not referring to their hosts like O'Reilly and Hannity who are blatantly conservative.
Wow, it's funny how none of that has anything to do with Cenk's actual argument. It doesn't matter whether or not Cenk supports Social Security or not. The point is that Paul Ryan benefited from it for his own personal gain despite claiming otherwise.
Just looking at Romney and Ryan together, I think they'd make the most devastating combo in history to existence of the middle class and the poor. But the alternative is Obama, the Change You Can Believe In that's almost 4yrs in the making and we still haven't seen any sign of it.
Ryan has been in congress for over 15 yrs & only has had a total of two bills he authored become law. One was a sales tax cut on arrows for bows and the other was renaming the post office in his district. Heck, even David Vitter has been more productive. Ryan's ineffectiveness for over 15 years while remaining in office is everything he & the tea party says is wrong with Washington. According to Ryan, he would have tossed himself out of congress a long time ago for being grossly ineffective.
There is a significant majority of both parties that are serving the controlling interest of the status quo. It is TIME we ALL make accountable the people who have done the things our government was put in place to guard against.
I think I completely understand why there's a certain religious group that has in its prayers "thank god I'm not a woman". I can't agree more! I'm surprised that you don't have all the massacres with guns being perpetrated by women but instead by privileged men, with the way women are treated in America, hell, even across the entire planet, how the fuck can you NOT go crazy?
That came from economists not Cenk get your facts straight. Cenk may be progressive but at least he actually uses facts. That's something that is NEVER used by Fox News or Repubs these days.
Kinda sad to see that tiny little bar on the bottom of the graph that represents what the deficit would be without all the Bush-era nonsense. I don't think anyone would shed a tear for a $400B deficit in such a terrible recession, but $1.1T is hard to swallow anytime. Yet nobody calls conservatives out on it! That graph ALONE should win Obama a 2nd term.
The answer to all of your questions is either the Global financial meltdown or the turmoil with Iran. But I'm pretty sure anything else is beyond your level of thought.
Democrats are not for sabotaging the private sector, we are for civilizing it. I am in a highly skilled profession, so I don't come across many republicans. Republicans come in two flavors: Exploiter and Exploitee.
the debt went up on nominal numbers but as the economy was growing faster than the debt its share on the GDP went down which means that the debt was actually decreasing in value adjusted for inflation ----- Economics 101
Obamacare is cutting Medicare and my hospital is losing $40 million per year because of it. There is going to massive lay-offs when it takes effect. Trust me the job market is going to get much worse if Obama wins another term.
I like this guy ;+)

Paul Ryan is the Saturday-Night Live caricature of a republican.

Go Cenk! You got me so pumped up during that rant and I LOVE you for your passion and energy.

Lovin' Cenk more every day! Tell the truth, my friend!
Apparently Hypocrisy is a required trait of Politicians
BOOOOM, damn Cenk is on fire. LOVE IT.
I'm embarrassed to be from Wisconsin now. With Walker, Johnson and Ryan all from Wisconsin, there's a lot to be ashamed of.
this should be streamed in every town in america on huge screens
As a progressive I want increased taxes for the rich, ending the bs bailouts, changing foreign policy, and getting money out of politics. I don't think we need to cut healthcare etc to reduce the deficit. What do you think?
Nobody 2012
Bernie Sanders 2012
Curiousity-Mars Rover 2012
Pedro 2012
Direct Democracy 2012...
I know! It's a damn shame this isn't a mainstream show.
You can't debunk the clearest example of hypocrisy in politics, saying you're in favor of one thing and voting for the opposite.
I was lost about this guy, had no idea. Thanks for the update.
People should hate the gov't, and they have to go to gov't to destroy it if they hate it.
Gov't cannot be stopped from the outside, you have to get in and destroy it from inside.
Unfortunately Ryan is NOT the man to destroy the gov't from the inside.
Ron Paul, Gary Johnson 2012.
Paul Ryan is the only chance America has to get rid of the deficit. His past voting record is irrelevant. It's his budget that matters. That is what he brings to the Romney ticket.
There were tax cuts but not cuts in the budget. Having large public debt holds back economic development.
Are there any good third party options for the election?
seriously what would i do without TYT?!
Was waiting for this video. Thanks you!
Yup. Like that one guy said in that movie "Once the first bullet flies, politics goes right out the window"
"Saving it" means putting it in a bank. What do you think banks do? They loan the money out.
Automation is also not job killing. It merely changes the jobs that are available and expands production, which is a good thing. So is making things more efficient. Both of these things make higher end jobs.

This is the reality I will shine upon you

by the way do you have a link for which rally this is?

Republicans aren't REALLY conservatives, they're statists. Cenk's breakdown makes this pretty clear.

Before I knew anything about Paul Ryan, a friend (a fellow libertarian) referred to him as 'the man'. My, oh, my. WRONG. He's Sarah Palin-esque eye candy with dangerous contradictory views. He's smart, which makes him even more dangerous.
I love it when cenk is fired up, has his facts in a row and come out swinging
Well, this is enlightening. Even 5 years later.
Remember when PaulRyan charged admission to his own townhalls, then threw out several people who asked him questions and had them arrested?
Why do people not like Paul Ryan? Why can't we just discuss his ideas.
You are exactly right. Good companies just pay dividends out of their profits. Taxing corporations effects dividend payments not the business.
On a more serious note, where did you look this up?
I hate Ryan, but I think calling him a hypocrite for "hating the government" while working for CONGRESS (senator, aide for a senator), as an ELECTED OFFICIAL, was a bad argument.
You got a point there.
Example 1

And how is this even proving anything? So you got hit, fainted, and when you came too, you apperantly suffered no real injury.
Big deal.
No magical arm regeneration or anything miraculous.
Really is Cenk at his best when he takes it personal.
i love it when cenk gets mad. maybe its because im apathetic and im just glad that someone has some passion.
I have known mormons and even went to their church for a while. Mormons are some of the most friendly people you can meet, but also some of the most quirky because of that.
Everything is smothered under a coat of happiness and friendliness that shatters reality in the end.

I love it when Cenk gets fired up.
This guy wrote a piece of legislation that would refuse the right to an abortion even if the mother's life was in danger.
why is there a comma after cenk? It makes the reader stop after cenk for a brief pause and throws off the sentence.
i thought the paul ryan video was never coming!
Actually, I have a friend who was born in Vietnam and grew up there, he also spent some time in a Vietnamese prison, then got out of there as soon as he could.

Goodbye Social Security, I wasn't even able to use you.
I wish I could like this more than once
Maan, I salute The Young Turks. Thank you Cenk, for just bringing out one dang of a logical aspect in Main-stream Media.
Just give the money back. You've got millions. You can afford to donate 100K of whatever that you needed from Social Security to get thru college. Just do that, and we'll lay off a little bit.

Cenk's on fire in this one
it's not who makes you feel better, it's who makes you feel worse. That's how First Past The Post voting works.
Who cares about his voting record? That doesn't tell us who Paul Ryan the man is, which is most important.
Wow, it's funny how none of that has anything to do with Cenk's actual argument. It doesn't matter whether or not Cenk supports Social Security or not. The point is that Paul Ryan benefited from it for his own personal gain despite claiming otherwise.

Kudos Cenk much luv 2 u, bro!
Cenk please run for office in Va I'll vote for you!
Ryan has been in congress for over 15 yrs & only has had a total of two bills he authored become law. One was a sales tax cut on arrows for bows and the other was renaming the post office in his district. Heck, even David Vitter has been more productive.

I sincerely doubt that Ron Paul would have accepted to run for vice president with Mitt Romney
I think I completely understand why there's a certain religious group that has in its prayers "thank god I'm not a woman". I can't agree more! I'm surprised that you don't have all the massacres with guns being perpetrated by women but instead by privileged men, with the way women are treated in America, hell, even across the entire planet, how the fuck can you NOT go crazy?
i agree
It's been awhile, but good video Cenk.
No, America isn't doomed. Even if Romney was a particularly bad president, the president can only do so much especially in only four to eight years.
That came from economists not Cenk get your facts straight. Cenk may be progressive but at least he actually uses facts. That's something that is NEVER used by Fox News or Repubs these days.
What does the Patriot Act have to do with the budget?
No, but we can get an idea of how much these people are willing to contribute to the society that pays them.
Organize an effort for a Jesse Ventura write-in!!!!!!! You got my signature ;)
Kinda sad to see that tiny little bar on the bottom of the graph that represents what the deficit would be without all the Bush-era nonsense.

That graph ALONE should win Obama a 2nd term.
i was not aware of this, thanks for telling me.
he may not be prefect, but least Paul Ryan acknowledges that we simply cannot keep kicking this can down the road.
The answer to all of your questions is either the Global financial meltdown or the turmoil with Iran.
But I'm pretty sure anything else is beyond your level of thought.
Should wealthy Americans who advocate higher taxes pay them voluntarily? No.
1812 sure beats the HELL out of 2012. don't you miss the old days before everything turned to shit?
When it comes to the lesser of two evils, I'd still take Romney and Ryan over Obama.
"But wait I'm not done kicking his ass yet..." I almost chocked on my breakfast. XDDD Priceless.
Here's a hint, Cenk. Just because someone supports small government that doesn't mean that they hate the government.
Touche...
Many politicians come from the business sector to begin with and continue to create their wealth in the public sector.
Great insight.
By the way, I'm not a traitor, just an amused Canadian.
Democrats are not for sabotaging the private sector, we are for civilizing it. I am in a highly skilled profession, so I don't come across many republicans. Republicans come in two flavors: Exploiter and Exploitee.
