tim bud it's clear by your facial expressions that you disagree with a lot of what colin says, you should argue against him more
You think you want that until Tim actually opens his mouth.
lol ya i don't typically agree with tim and i love hearing colins insight, i just think it'd add a little more substance to the show if more of the guys openly disagreed with him
Do you think Tim would actually be able to argue on even standing? Not hating on Tim at all, but any of them for that matter don't get into politics like Colin does, and they admit it during this episode.
probably not but it would be a bit more entertaining than just colin ranting his opinion without any opposition
ps i like colin
Well, you gotta know what you're talking about, otherwise, you're gonna look like an idiot. To his credit, he chimed in a few times like Greg and Nick did.
It's sad that Colin who is otherwise a perfectly reasonable guy has been indoctrinated into politics that would be "Kinda funny" if they were not so abhorrent. His entire political worldview is that of a relatively wealthy spoilt child that doesn't realize the privileges he's been given and feels entitled judge others based on his limited experience.
"Quality of American healthcare" Only if you can afford it Colin. Even sillier is the fact that you actually spend more on health care per person than almost any other western country that has socialized medicine and has far worse outcomes.
Btw the reason the Republicans don't have an alternative to Obamacare is because Obamacare was their plan since the Nixon days. Show just how ideological they have become.
I agree with your points on health care.
But I respectfully disagree on Colin- I think you are oversimplifying Colin's views and completely alienating valid concerns from those with a worldview that doesn't line up with yours.
I don't think I'm oversimplifying at all, his libertarian views are pretty well known these days. The vast majority of people with these views tend to be young affluent men from backgrounds affording them a very good education, It's a very selfish worldview in that it assumes the falsehood that we live in a meritocracy, Government is virtually always bad and the Free market will fix everything.
How is being a libertarian selfish? You realize that Liberal programs only benefit the minority while drawing from the majority? Ever heard of universal health care, social security, medicare, medicaid, entitlements, and so on. The only way these can be supported is by money from young people PERIOD. And all of this money, taken from young people, goes to elderly people who account for 13% of the population. A libertarian is more concerned about shrinking government for the future not the present. Or are you advocating for over 40% income taxes. If so then give me your bank account, routing number, and name so I can take that money. After all, if you're not selfish what do you have to lose? And if not me, then go give 16.2% of your income to your nearest elderly person until the day they die.
Eagerly awaiting your response.
Most of the programs you listed are socialist in nature.
Secondly, I'll leave this here for you.
"Libertarianism A political philosophy emphasizing the liberty of the individual, with as little intervention as possible by the state in the affairs of the citizenry (which is why libertarians are at times associated with right-wing politics and at other times with anarchists-see anarchism). The guiding principle of libertarianism is “live and let live”. The term was first used towards the end of the 18th century in debates pitting free will against determinism.
Note the distinction: liberalism is basically about having individual freedom guaranteed by governments; libertarianism is about having that freedom through as little government involvement as possible."
Liberalism In politics, the state of being liberal, notably in emphasizing the rights and freedom of the individual, usually with government guarantees for those rights and freedom.
In addition, the system about which you speak is called Progressive taxation in which those with the most pay to assist those with the least.
It is how you fund those socialist programs, In most European countries we pay tax and get services such as social security and healthcare of a very good standard. The UK taxes range from 0-45% depending on your income so no a 20% tax rate doesn't scare me as I've paid it for years and do so gladly.
Thank you for your definitions but I'm, mostly here to argue about actual policies. The reality is that the NHS ran a deficit of 2.45 billion pounds, a huge increase from the previous year. It has also been recognized that the government cannot save enough money to meet the growing demands from the NHS healthcare system which will need 22 billion pounds by 2020.
However, the interesting part is that liberal programs like the single payer system, social security, Medicare and Medicaid present a huge dilemma for Americans. In particular, social security presents a big problem because of America's changing demographics. Created by FDR in the mid 1930s the idea was the create a welfare state whereby elderly Americans wouldn't die in poverty. For the sake of simplicity I will make this short.
It easy for Europeans to criticize American conservatives. The reality is, is that everyday 10,000 Americans are reaching the age of 65 and getting their social security benefits only one year later. This trend will continue until 2030. So every day until 2030 10,000 more people will start getting their social security benefits. Now the interesting part is the number of people who will be getting social security: 89 million by 2050. This is an interesting number for two reasons. One, it is huge! Two, it is larger than Germany which is the largest country in the European Union. This is reality. Young American's will be paying for a group of people larger than any country in Europe. Despite this, you believe you have the right to critique Libertarians who would advocate smaller government and avoid an impending disaster? Additionally, the ratio of people who pay in and take out is shrinking from 2.8 now to 2.1 in the next 20 years. So if you are married and have two children you actually don't: you have three children. One of them is taking your income but they're not there.
According to the Pew Research Center the average elderly person aged 65 and up in America now will earn an extra $180,000 from Social Security than they paid in. On the other hand, an American born now will lose over $400,000 more than they paid in. This is glorified theft. Isn't liberalism so generous? Driving one generation into poverty because the other is unwilling to make sacrifices regardless of the fact they hold all of the political power, had more time to change the system, and have had more time to save up money. Instead, in order to preserve their own standard of living they are borrowing money and forcing their children or people who aren't even born yet through social security.
Let's keep going though. According to the Pew Research Center a household headed by someone 35 and under makes 26 times less money than a household headed by somebody 65 and older. Obviously, there should be a distinguishable difference, but simply put 26 times more is too large and unnaturally skewed. It gets better though, young people today have more debt than ever coming out of college and a worse economy to welcome them into the job market. The unemployment gap between 18-24 year old and the overall labor market was the highest in America's history in 2011. On top of that, the median income for people aged 35 and younger has steadily had a decreasing return to scale: it's slowing down. Other demographics are experiencing as much of a slow down. This is very conducive to a health life style wouldn't you agree?
So no I do not believe that Libertarians are selfish. While I have a different perspective than you, it doesn't make it wrong. Liberalism presents huge risks to everyone in America and is in no way selfless.
Political commentary is a bit frustrating for me on this show because there's no balance to counter Colin - so it ends up being a one man commentary as the others are understandably not politically engaged. I just want to jump in and present a counter argument to Colin on almost every point. EDIT - His last argument about a temporary protectionist measure for the next couple of decades is fair. I just think it will hurt US economy if other economies move on from the US and move towards China, EU, India, etc as the benchmark during that period who are open to free trade.
That's true, but I think a lot of folks should be paying attention and watching anyway. I like Colin, he shares different views to me personally and that is GREAT. Too many people, especially folks who are left leaning, live in an echo chamber. Especially on Twitter and definitely in the Gaming industry. Its a really good thing to have someone like Colin, who at least understands his position and is able to reach out and have this conversation.
Try to branch out and look at opposing views anywhere else and you'll just get alienated. If you want to listen to someone with opposing views, Colin and his political segments are much better than say, going to Fox News and all that.
Challenge yourself, you have a counter point ton what he says and that's good. When your views are challenged, you step up and defend, when they aren't challenged and you're in a bubble that's when you become ill-informed
I agree with that assessment. I like that he has differing political opinions and voices them. I just don't like that they aren't contested, as the rest are understandably not interested or knowledgeable on the subject matter. He does have an issue of spouting opinions as facts sometimes, and that is even more frustrating as it's rarely called out on the show.
Michael Isinger
Well it's a good thing there is a comments section.
I always call back to the Aisha Tyler GOG episode. when he had to try and argue with a liberal who was on his level.
Omar Q You really think someone who went to college can talk circles around people? I know plenty of morons who finished college and it didn't make a difference. Anyone can sign up and take college level courses.
People complaining about Colin being the only one to have his say clearly didn't watch the video. Nick was very engaged in the conversation, Greg was pretty damn well engaged also.
zrox345 no what it bother my is the lack of empathy and the will of compromise for results
Jesus Andrade: It's his personality, dude. I lack empathy for other peoples' opinions but that doesn't mean I don't hear it or try to respond to it. It's just because I, like everyone these days, personally feel that I am right for the most part, and no one is going to change my mind. He's clearly done enough research on his own, and introspected to form his thoughts on things, and it's hard to find someone who wisely challenges your views.
You can tell Nick disagrees with him on most of these issues, but keeps it light to avoid opening up a can of worms. You can't really blame him, Colin is one of those guys who's really good at arguing
not really Colin seems say what he want to say, I kind wish other guys kind jump in, what makes debate more interesting, this is fucken boring just mostly listening to one guy.

As someone from the UK - to me it's crazy that if you get sick (in the US) and don't have the funds, you're screwed.
I suppose that happens when big pharma companies own everything.
you are dumb.................. no one can turn you away at a hospital if you cant pay in america
hanzo plus3 not true..i had this happen to me in 2011,OLVG amsterdam was like,we can't give you a room in the hospital after they (and i) found out my insurance wasn't payed in almost a year.My former employer subtracted the funds for the insurance but didn't actually pay them,while telling me that i had insurance,shady af...sued their asses and got my money back to pay the fine.Back to topic,basically the hospitals only diagnose and perform basic ER stuff like routine checkups like blood pressure,heart rate etc...I know some homeless people and they end up in hospitals a lot because of their living conditions but if they go to a hospital they don't get much help,one of the guys i know his leg is dying off and if he had gotten the help he actually needed when it was only a sprained,infected ankle it wouldn't have gotten that far...
hanzo plus3 yeah it's crazy that money,no matter how much money,is more important to some then their fellow human beings lives..i'll gladly fork over the money if that meant that other peoples living conditions increased ...at least for me it all turned out fine (still sick but i'm still here).One thing Colin is right about is that we can't compare our countries,cause of the sheer size and the amounts of people living there,netherlands is one of the smallest countries in the world...for example Teheran,capital of Iran,is the same size as the netherlands in its entirety
hanzo plus3 i think that ever since the financial crash,people were more involved with themselves then others.And that has had huge repercussions throughout society...remember the song: "vijftien miljoen mensen" from back in the day,i believe it accompanied a commercial as well...basically it was meant to propagate a sense of respect and mutual understanding which can be so hard to find these days...
Dr Panda it's your system though, surely the priority should be is looking after the people rather than being a luxury for the rich
The comments section should be reasonable and intelligent.
Donald Anderson no the opinions Colin presents are quite reasonable. It's just that the comments section always breaks down into the most basic of semantics.
Supplying an economy with a commodity that's already in high use and high demand throughout the rest of the world; alleviating our expenses in regards to Saudi Arabia, making us more economically independent....sounds reasonable to me.
Defunding one of the most heinous programs in our country whose nearly sole function is to kill children. The other 70% of PP services that are hardly utilized can be rendered by your local physician, or at a hospital that provides installment plans to pay back over time. Not even talking about the ER....again, not unreasonable.
The Trump administration has their government social media accounts refocus their efforts on fiscal policy instead of hokey climatology. This isn't a crack down on "Climate Change" just focusing on actual problems; even though there are actual climatologists that challenge the assertion that man made climate change occurs, or was it Global warming?? Or Global cooling??? I forget, they've changed the naming convention so many times that "Climate Change" could literally mean anything related to weather phenomena.
The TPP was a shitty trade agreement to begin with so that point should be self apparent.
These are points Colin made in a casual and calm manner, but anybody that's an opponent of these beliefs over-exaggerates his role in the discussion because it's the lefts tactic of escalation; to make Colin out as some obnoxious right winger whose ideas are dangerous and antithetical to our country's values when in actuality he was reasonable on every point and even gave himself some leeway to change his stance on these topics if new information ever comes to light.
But no, fuck Colin because he's wrong on every account and doesn't deserve the opportunity to express his political opinions that I don't agree with. Also fuck Trump bcuz he's a racist, sexist, homophobic, trans-whatever phobic, xenophobic bigot.
Not an ad! I was so close to skipping. lol!
Evan Stilwell THEN BOOM.
AD
Right! LOL!!!
Evan Stilwell ikr
is that what he said. I thought he said "It's not Knack." Which i did think was weird.
my mouse was on the scroll bar right when he said that lol
Geez why is Colin getting so much shit?
His shit about abortion was stupid and his view of the American health care system is embarrassingly off base.
liberals will take anything out of context and base a whole man's character on a single political view.
@the fatman69fude: Why? Direct me towards your podcast where you explain why in a well articulated and thought-out manner and maybe people will understand where you're coming from. Saying something is stupid and off base doesn't give much context.
Because he is speaking the truth. The truth hurts to people that would prefer to just demonize Colin rather than listen to what he has to say.
I'm really happy that Colin is a wealthy white guy. Must be nice to live in his world.
He's in the U.S. Perks of being White in a White country.
Would you say "Oh man, must be sooo nice to be Hajime-san, being a Japanese man living in Japan! All that Japanese privilege!" Answer: no, you wouldn't, because that would be retarded.
Just because White Western countries are the ONLY countries in the world expected to take in immigrants and refugees, doesn't make them non-White countries.
Jim Bobberson Forgive me Jim, I didn't realise America was a white country.
His willingness to be ignorant and support the pipelines says a whole shit ton.
The "wealthy" part I could see why someone would bring that up. The "white" part is fucking racist. Skin color has nothing to do with anything.
I feel bad for you if you think Colin is wealthy.
Thumbs up on Greg's opening, very good to include it and I'll be anticipating the next Morning Show with Colin on it to hear his thoughts on this hole shebazzle lately.
The damage control
More like context clarification. The "damage" is simply that they don't address the Immigration Ban here because, for the breakout and RUclips upload, that happened between the recording and their upload (doesn't affect the Patreon vid, that was uploaded last Friday). I'm fairly sure it'll be addressed next time Colin is on the Morning Show, or even a follow-up for the next GoG episode.
40 Minutes of Colin ignoring the early warning signs of fascism.
Colin really has a way of explaining politics and putting things in perspective. Me being anti Trump, It really helps to calm me down a bit. I would be very interested to hear his thoughts next week on the new executive order on immigration.
Can we get Kevin for political portions from now on? Id enjoy a contrast of opinions and Kevin seems to be more informed than some of the other guys (no offense, im looking at you tim lol love ya tho bud). Edit: all five would be sweet too!
It would be good for devil's advocate purposes, but Kevin always sounds like he's just echoing the sentiments of all of the other Liberals around him, not actually researching the information himself. Tim is the same way, which is why he's smart enough to just avoid giving too much commentary in these things.
Are you serious? Did you watch the day after the election on C&G Live? Just because he managed to get a few words in between breaths of Colin doesn't mean he was informed. He couldn't tell you anything Hillary accomplished, yet praised her and wished she had won and demonized Trump. Everything he said was totally overrun by emotion and feelings and not anything factual.
kingrobert: Exactly. Tim is the same way, but Tim has the wisdom to know when he's outmatched with Colin, and I think Kevin has realized that now too. They just need to actually read into things themselves instead of regurgitating everything Liberals in California tell them
*Adam Booth* The problem I have with their group when it comes to these topics is you never see them doing anything about this. Plenty of people have said something like it must be nice living in their SF bubble, but if they're so passionate about this, I feel like SF is the perfect place to do something about it, yet (it appears as if) they don't and just take Patreon money and sit in their comfy studio. I know they've done fundraisers and that stuff, but why not do a fundraiser or 24 hour thing for Syrian refugees or whatever. I just find it surprising it how political Colin is and doesn't do anything to support what he learned. It's like he learned all this shit for nothing. He speaks so passionately, you'd think he would want to participate and do more than just talk to their fans on the internet. I'm not trying to lump everyone together, but I doubt the majority of KF fans actually do anything politically other than just comment on here and say how uninformed Tim is. I'm not a politically charged person either, but my gf is so I try to be at least aware of what's going on and support her and go with her when she wants to go to marches or whatever. I would love to see KF at a march or protest and get out of their studio once in a while.
The reason I love this show and have become a loyal listener, watcher, and subscriber is because of topics like these. This is the only show on the internet where you can find talk about serious politics, fart jokes, comic books, video games, favorite soups all in the span of a show. Keep up the awesome discussions, you are doing the Lords work over there at Kinda Funny.
Colin the Trumpette
Barney he didn't vote for him
He said he would have voted him over Hillary, so he's not much better than those that did.
Jason Darr not much better....? Why do you act like people who voted for him are evil? I'm democrat and I didn't want that corrupt bitch personally.
she was the lesser of two evil's, as you can tell from the past week
Barney no I can't tell that from the past week. Hillary has done some fucked up shit.
deep down, colin is a trump supporter.If you slightly agree or like anything trump does, you are automatically s supporter
kevintemido I think he voted for him honestly, just doesn't want to tell anyone and make his friends mad lol...
to be honest it seems like colin agrees with 100% of what trump does. Even issue he brought up was followed with "and i don't have a problem with this". Pushing the key stone and Dakota access pipelines? "i have no problem with this". No more federal funding for abortion "I don't have a problem with this". Im pretty sure when they talk about trump LITERALLY STARTING CONSTRUCTION ON A 13 BILLION DOLLAR WALL hes gonna say "i don't have a problem with this, illegal immigration is a major problem we have to tackle" I bet he will.
In other words, if anyone slightly disagrees with you, they are an enemy.
I know your avatar is a troll, but if you are trolling it doesn't seem people get it. And that mind set is authoritarian.
he's not wrong about the last one though
i was a bernie supporter but i agree with trump calling out journalists for fake news. if i automatically support trump how can i be a trump and bernie supporter at the same time?
I love the fact that Greg knows that I skip the sponsored segment on videos 😋.
As en engineer who worked in the energy industry, we are shitting the bed on nuclear energy. Why we let teenage protestors who know nothing about engineering, nuclear science, and geology control this topic is vomit inducing. Nuclear all day
SpacePak agreed.
Oil companies are the ones keeping us from it, not teenagers who don't even vote. Also, most college kids are usually pretty warm to nuclear energy in my experience.
18 year old teenagers do vote and the ones that can't throw fits and protest on social media and on development sites.
I have not met more than a handful (mostly other engineers) who like nuclear energy. They don't want coal, they don't want oil, and they don't want nuclear. No questions asked and if you say otherwise you are called a racist.
Thanks Skycam!
"ITS NOT AN AD ITS NOT AN AD!" 😂😂😂😂 he had to warn us
I trust Kinda Funny more than I trust any news station/site when it comes to politics. Even when I don't agree
I don't really like politics but i love hearing these guys talk about it, Especially Colin.
China is implementing Universal Healthcare by 2020 btw Colin. Also how useful is "premium healthcare" when most people don't take advantage of it due to deductibles? The huge advantage of Universal Healthcare is the preventative and proactive care that occurs because the citizens go to the doctor when they suspect something is wrong instead of going when things may be too late. This is why US health system is ranked #37 by WHO.
A "republic" that until 2013 had a pretty rigid one-child restriction on their populace? GTFOOH
Stayed up to watch this. Popcorn ready.
Man i wished you guys waited a week to do this, keep the political stuff coming, really good.
Please tell me this Colin Moriarty dude is running for President. Not knowing anything about Kinda Funny, just stopping by the channel for this topic, I am amazed at hearing this man speak. Looks like there are many more topics on the channel with regards to Colin and his politics, can't wait to watch all of them in a weekend. Colin for President!
I kinda agree with Colin.
Colin "... and he didnt even touch on immigration." Boy, was that the most premature sentence ever spoken.
I couldn't have thought of a better closing argument myself. Keep fighting the good fight, Greg. Fuck Dippin Dots.
"Rove vs. Wade will not be overturned, it'll never happen" - Colin
You said the same thing about Trump my friend.
Had to give the thumbs up for the way this video started. Well done.
I'm glad this video had the disclaimer, but I feel like the topic would have been better if they had just waited a couple of weeks. The first few weeks is gonna be jam packed with things to comment on.
Long time fan here, love it when you guys talk about these topics.
Colin, great work man, extremely informed and talanted individual.
i love you colin.
It's a trick! There's still an ad! 1:38
Can someone give Greg a colouring book? He looks bored.
You don't have to be patronizing towards him just because he isn't interested in politics.
Daniel Arshad Actually I was being patronising towards Moriarty for not letting anyone get a word in edge wise. Seriously that ain't a discussion it's just one dude saying which Orders have been passed, what he thinks of it then rushing to the next point? If I wanted to see anyone dominate 90% of a "discussion" I'd watch an Angry Joe review.
Adam The Gamer
Ah, my bad. Sorry for misunderstanding you. Although I will say, there really isn't much else to do for all of them other than to get through it the way they did - all three of them are either not knowledgeable enough, or don't care enough to debate each single order. Especially the former since when Tim and Kevin try discussing politics with Colin, his toxic fanbase (which is not his fault in any way, but whatever) jumps onto those guys and goes way out of their way hurling disrespect at them, so yeah.
Daniel Arshad Bless you buddy no worries. :) I should probably mention I'm kind of new to the channel so I'm not entirely sure what the norm is. I will say Colin seems very well informed and has a great way of iterating things. I guess when it comes to politics I generally like a discussion where you can discuss the downsides as well as the upsides you know?
Mind you I suppose when it comes to stuff like this you're just begging to be harassed by those toxic like fans you mention.
+Adam The Gamer This is literally the norm. Anything politics related the guys back off while Colin rants. You're either into that or you're not. He's surprisingly quiet on a lot of other topics though.
At a certain point, money isn't the most important thing in the world Colin. Just as security is used as an argument against freedom, financial security is used as an argument against empathy and compassion. People's lives are, frankly, worth more than the economy.
I was halfway on that scrub bar when he yelled it's not an ad 😂
The Thousand Year Trumpenreich has begun, and it's more beautiful than I could ever have imagined.
loved this segment team. Really think you should have a weekly show diving into these topics in a non violent and supporting environment. please keep doing things like this Colin has mentioned in the past that if he was president he would have a weekly or even daily press conference I would always watch you guys talk politics. keep up the good work
I was literally about to skip ahead until Greg said "NOT AN AD!" LOL
Great conversation, guys!
60 MILLION PEOPLE.......OUR HEALTHCARE IS FREE AND THE VERY BEST....THE POOREST PEOPLE SHOULDNT BE LEFT TO ROT AND DIE JUST BECAUSE THEY DONT HAVE MONEY
SINCERELY
GREAT BRITAIN
Yeah but you also can't even buy a steak knife at a department store, Achmed.
Thank you! I love the politic talks, good job boyz
"IT'S NOT AN AD DON'T CLICK AWAY"
I Lol'd
currently watching this in Whataburger
I hope the reason Colin keeps that water bottle around is because he knows it's becoming a bit.
this isn't an ad don't click away. immediately follows with an ad.
Thank you for bringing the other side to the debate. Reasoned debate is needed
LOL that initial message made me laugh
What a great topic - I love me some politics and history talk with Colin. Makes for some good food for thought. And even a mention of 'Erik the Leif' = memories. 😉
Take a shot every time Colin interrupts Nick ...
It's an excuse that they don't have a plan: They've had 6 years. It would have been easier to just fix the Affordable Care Act.
democrats had 8 years to make ObamaCare not suck ass
Sure, they have a few bills for healthcare replacement Rand just finished his.
You generally need both parties to work together. GOP can't rely on NO forever.
What's an excuse? This is an entirely new administration. Obama wasn't going to sign off on anything that destroys obamacare so they were working on things that weren't going to get put through. Now they have to draft stuff that will get past trump. Trump seems to march to his own beat and isn't a "republican" for whatever sense of the word is, so if he doesn't approve of it, then its not going to go through either.
The_Grimby No. There wasn't a hope in getting a repeal passed. But you can still build a plan. This debate has been going for 8 years now.
Tim, your Mario cup is amazing.
I hope people realize that the American healthcare system is demonstrably worse by almost every measurable metric when compared to countries that have a socialized healthcare system.
38:50 when the teacher catches kids messing around ha
After traveling to Europe Germany and Austria in particular, anyone saying that refugees shouldn't be fully vetted are denying the truth. I have been traveling to Europe every year for the past 10 since I have family there, and the situation is rly rly bad. Every day you hear about isis members getting captured by police, just one mistake and there can easily be a terrorist attack
For people saying that it's stupid that Colin can just "force" (which he wasnt) his political opinion on the group and not having a debate instead, it's because he actually studies up on this stuff. I'm guessing most of you are liberals who want a fellow liberal to at least debate back, but no one else has given as much time to political studies as Colin has. It's like telling the strongest guy on your sports team to hold back because no one else is quite as strong. If Tim or Kevin studied the political material presented, then hey, go ahead and debate. It's not Tim or Kevin's fault either, no ones forcing them to become philosophers. At least stop yelling at Colin in the comments just because he has a different political view than you do.
Love Kinda Funny when it comes to video games. Everything else makes me wants to swallow glass.
"Nothing changes" - Colin. hahahahahaha
Can I just quickly assure my colonial cousins that if you've seen all the protest in the U.K in London, Birmingham etc: they are an extremely small monitory, and mostly Muslim themselves. Most working class, hard working British men and women, welcome Trump with open arms, and can't wait for him to meet the Queen on his states visit. His Mother is British, and he loves these fair isles, he is more than welcome for a cup of tea round mine, or maybe a cheeky pint ;)
#RuleBritannia
#GodBlessAmerica
A million people want Trump's visit canceled. No petition has ever reached that point. I'd say it isn't mostly Muslims.
James Marley lmao this comment couldn't be any further from the truth
Sure You are completely wrong for a start. A petition 6 months ago for another EU referendum reach 3 million, so your first point is completely incorrect, and one google search would of sufficed for your research, but you lefties hate facts...
And an estimated 20% of the IP addresses of the people who signed it, aren't even in the UK, a lot of them have been from the USA, and the middle east. At least get your fact right, and then add on duplicated accounts in the mix as well.....
Not to mention...do you even math bro??..
Since when is 1 million a bigger number than the 65 million other people who stay at home laughing at all the lefties in the street on TV
James Marley He should never meet the Queen. And you are talking shit. Don't think you can talk for all of us Brits.
what a load of fucking bullshit James? why you lieing? most people in the uk protesting are muslims? complete lies, i dont get it, dont listen to this bum
This was so refreshing hearing a discussion concerning Trump which didn't consist of solely emotion overruling facts. Colin's discussion is straight to the point and backed up with evidence which is a rarity to see especially among the various rooster teeth groups. Great episode and again a refreshing insight into Trumps policies. Hope for more episodes like this in the future as policies are being rolled out.
The problem of a person in Louisiana buying medical insurance from Michigan is that the plan from Michigan likely doesn't have any available hospitals in Louisiana. It doesn't matter how cheap a plan is if it means you can't access the coverage.
Great discussion guys!
To all of you here in the comments section, those who are not agreeing with some, or all, of the stuff Colin is saying, it's completely okay. It's fine to disagree and/or write here your opinion and/or where Colin might be wrong etc. But FFS, please don't disrespect him by writing cancerous comments.
Thank you and have a lovely day.
Dan.
Yay! I actually enjoy these political videos. We get some nice variety of opinions on this show and it's nice to see a candid discussion from all sides. Love these guys.
Colin, i love hearing you talk on politics.
Great episode, always enjoy Colin going into things, may not agree with everything but fact is he is informed and knows his shiz!
As someone that has spent a majority of my time in Science classroom, it always drives me a little crazy to hear people discredit the extremely intelligent researchers who have dedicated their lives and have true verifiable data about climate change, by simply shrugging it off as something they don't know about. There are a lot of things I don't know about, I don't really know that much about how a vehicle works. So, I trust the manufacturer and the technicians, because that is their field. Citing brief anecdotes or outliers from curve does not outweigh the tend itself.
Was excited when I saw this in my feed, but was so disappointed when it just became a Colin soapbox segment again. It's not entirely Colin's fault, I know you're all busy, but please read up on politics so you can offer an articulate counter opinion to Colin's vehemently intelligent but subtlety and decidedly cold and callous politics. Please. If anything, it would make the show more interesting
I don't get all the hate! Regardless who didn't chime in. I appreciate Colin talking about it. Was extremely looking forward to this.
21:35 My dad's job is to actually negotiate with land owners for eminent domain. It's not NECESSARILY that the gov't buys your land and kicks you out...often it's that the gov't is essentially buying the "right" to lay pipeline, electrical line, etc., etc. on, under, over, or around your property--but it has to happen one way or another, regardless of where the negotiations go. Lots of people have an issue with the kind of work people like my dad do...and I don't necessarily blame them.
Colin needs his own show.
the problem about the hiring freeze in the DoD is that we can fill uniforms, but I have four civilian spots I can't fill and I have to run my current guys ragged until I can. this leads to low job satisfaction and if my current team leaves because of that then I can't fulfill my unit's mission. the current process to get some the freeze means getting a package up to the SECDEF and that takes a long time.
i literally skipped immediately lol
Hillary Clinton was actually for the TPP until until Sanders said he didn't want it, then she changed her mind, and said she was against it.
You guys need to talk about the Immigration Ban and whether it's unconstitutional or not. Hopefully next week.
you know it's literally the people that are slandering Colins opinion, rather than engaging him in discussion/respectfully disagreeing that are the reason that trump got in. Stop making every person that agrees with trump feel like they have to keep it hidden.
Greg is a Robot!?!? Quick, find his batteries!
Colin but I believe that almost nobody wants their money taken from them. But poor women need at least some help in a trouble situation, a show of empathy.
Ah! 39 minutes of Colins with boring one sided debates.
funny coming from a guy with a bruce wayne pic.
batman was made by a jew. The jews are supported by trump and the jews where sunned by obama.
Batman himself has prayed in churches. So i think you need to change your pic to something with more liberal propaganda. Like the foxy Cleopatra iron man.
Japan has the best games this is one of the most retarded comments I've ever seen, and that is saying a lot.
cloudbloom I agree 😂😂😂
cloudbloom you must not of heard of mighty no 9 fail
Japan has the best games Based off of both of your replies, something is obviously wrong with you. I'm sorry you had to be born the way you are but I think it's best you stay out of the YT comments.
This isn't an ad! *five seconds later* hey mvnt watches guys!
Tnx for discussing these topics. Is good to have a brain.
the problem with Colin's opinions is that he is assuming every single thing is going to be in a middle ground but i feel Trump is going to take it to the extreme, only time will tell
The fact that the U.S doesn't have free health care is just ridiculous.
So far im proud he is keeping his promise..... So proud i voted for him!
A game show host that has no clue what he's doing and is completely authoritarian. You know you fucked up when Colin can't support a Republican.
In defense of the one-sidedness with Colin, we don't get a conversion with Colin anymore (which was literally just Colin sharing his opinions on things). So these types of episodes are more or less a replacement for that content. If you don't like the Colin-dominated episodes, don't watch. I'm sure some of you didn't like a conversion with Colin, in which case you didn't watch those either. If you want to hear more liberal political perspectives on things, there are PLENTY of places on the internet for that. You've got no problem there.
"Imminent domain, not sure how I feel about it." "It's our land!"
Colin should simply be appointed as the supreme dictator of the world. Better for all
He isn't always right (pun intended)
Kevin should be on these topics hes on colins level of intellegence and straight up common sence. Also hes good at debating.
What a mess. As much as I like visiting America and my American friends, I'm verrrrry happy and grateful for where I live. Free healthcare, great schools, affordable higher education, cheap housing etc.
Trump might not care about social issues personally, but he's giving some very scary people control over those things.
Next Week:
President Trump bans an entire religion
Colin: Ok this is totally reasonabe
I would really like to have a more in depth conversation with Colin on his stance of federal employees and the hiring freeze. We all want people to have jobs, but can the private sector absorb let's say half of the federal civilian workforce? That would be a little over 1 million people. I just don't see that many jobs being created by the private sector with the same level of pay and benefits. Like I said I would like to hear more from Colin in particular about that issue. Tim started to bring it up, but dropped it almost immediately.
I don't really understand how colin never entertains the fact the large companies have the option (and usually choose the option) of being completely abhorrently immoral when given the opportunity, which is the whole point of government regulation on businesses.... now maybe there are too many regulations, but colin only ever talks about the point of a business making money, as if it destroying the environment, or facilitating in mass poverty through wage gaps, as long as they provide dividends for their share-holders, they can do whatever they want...thats just what it seems like colin thinks... would love to here him respond...
Hey Colin, I know alot of these comments are angry towards you but plese don't let that bring you down. I enjoy your coverage on this stuff and I can see passion in what you say. I hope this ecochamber of a comment section can settle down a little bit. that being said I live in South East Idaho and my political choices mirror that strongly
Flash forward to today. Wonder how Colin feels about Trump now?
I've basically watched the entire video. Before watching it (after reading the comments) I figured Colin was going to be yelling and screaming at everyone. That wasn't accurate. I think it's crazy that people don't want Colin to lead a discussion about Politics. The guy is well informed. He's informed about stuff like natural gas prices in North Dakota--which I am only aware of because I have been looking for work. He's not looking for work and is still informed about smaller details like this.
People just don't seem to like others who speak authoritatively against their own agenda. Also, people were engaged. Sometimes you have to listen to someone to form an opinion about something--especially if they didn't all have a homework assignment ahead of time to start researching these things.
This comment section is the perfect example of what is wrong with society, politics and the reason Trump won. Its all hatred, insults, misinformation being thrown around and ignoring what was said/wrote. Get a grip people neither side is wholly right or wrong.
Colin is on Fire
