  1. I wish we had more Jimmy Dore Show!

    @the trillion dollar coin idea. ‘Gold is money everything else is credit.’ – J.P. Morgan i think its funny were pretty much flipping a quarter at em and saying ‘yeah lets call this a trillion dollars’ seems legit.

  2. I dont often mind that TYT gets next to no access from our reps because i understand why they would avoid an interview with Cenk but I would really like to see Bernie Sanders on TYT (online) as a regular contributor to the show like the ed show has. I dont watch the ed show just the clips that make it to Bernies YT channel.

  3. Make bullets more expensive and you will create a black market for cheaper, home-made bullets and more money in the pockets of shady characters and criminals….

    but yeah, it is a great soundbite.

    1. I know, I know, we can never outlaw anything because it just creates a black market in that thing. So why bother making ANYthing illegal then?

  4. I have the utmost respect for Michael Shure’s inside knowledge on politics and usually sane words, but I think the amount of apologizing he has to do on behalf of Obama administration on every show lately should give him pause.

    I had to stop listening to the first hour after the first few minutes of Jack Lew apologia and sooth my nerves on Sam Seder’s analysis on the platinum coin :) I hope he changed his tune later on…

    What’s my gripe? He basically agreed with everything Jimmy Dore said was wrong with Mr. Lew but that Lew may have picked up some influence from liberal icons. Sorry, Michael, the objection to Mr. Lew isn’t simply that he worked in a bank and is now nominated to be Treasury Secretary, although the whole deal is a prime example of the revolving door. The main objection is that he is clearly in the same camp as Rubin, Geithner, Summers, et al. In other words he is the choice of Wall Street.

    I’d also like to know where you and Cenk are regarding your wager on the debt ceiling debacle.

  5. All that said, Jimmy Dore’s totally irresponsible but also awesome talk about taking up arms against mortgage foreclosures is the best argument for gun proliferation i’ve heard so far.

  6. Whenever someone does this “It’s not a clip, it’s a magazine,” it makes me think of those dorks who are always saying, “It’s not a comic book, it’s a graphic novel.” You know what? I don’t care. And I’m sick of people talking about how killing defenseless animals in the woods with assault rifles is so great. Your hobby involves killing defenseless animals. Guess what? That doesn’t make you some sort of awesome tough guy. It actually makes you kind-of sad.

  7. Did you guys just SERIOUSLY say because grocery stores sell food, hunting is invalid?

    I grew up in socal, but that argument is retarded. Many people feed entire familys from hunting. Hunting is older than dirt, WE GET IT, you shop at whole foods for your dinner. Get out of your bubbles though.

    Hunting did nothing to you, or the kids. If you wouldve said ‘hunting doesnt require ar-15s’, I’d be with you, but dumbass arguments like this, is why people resist the liberal left. THATS why the nra is getting a bunch of new members, because dumbass arguments like this are getting air time.

    Both sides of this argument are fucking retarded….

    PS: please stop calling it a ‘clip’, it makes it blatantly obvious that everything you know about guns came from hollywood. ITS A MAGAZINE, clips are on older garand/sks type rifles.
    LOOK IT UP, Please….

    ::SIGH::

    1. Got to agree, you guys are obviously in a bubble when it comes to hunting. In LA where you can buy ANYthing you want at any time. In some areas of the country, is isn’t as unusual to rely on hunting to get by.

      I was raised on ducks, geese, deer and turkey (sometimes squirrel or rabbit) my father shot himself, otherwise there were a LOT of times we might not of had that much to eat. This was about 20 years ago, and now my brother does the same thing with his family.

  8. Is there ever a point, in Michael Shure’s head, where a Democratic politician or a person in power is responsible for their actions?

    This is probably hyperbole, but I think his apparent views of “Yes Obama did (x), and yes, it’s horrible for the country, but here’s why it’s a genius political move” is antithetical to The Young Turks. I’d just turn on Chris Matthews if I wanted to hear someone fawn over the political kabuki theater, or cover politics like it’s a sports game.

    1. In response to the gun argument, I think it”s sort of a case of “no good deed goes unpunished”. For instance, if you’re a Democrat and your legislate for a certain type of regulation- say, in this case, gun silencers, and not many people are killed by silencers, unless you make a great case for yourself, you’re not going to be given credit for something that you prevented.
