War on Christmas. Louie Gohmert brings up the fact that in the 1930s politicians could talk about Christmas without controversy. In Guantanamo Bay, there were two nativity scenes that were taken down, much to Bill O’Reilly’s anger. For that, he called Guantanamo’s base commander a coward, and cut his mic off before he could defend himself. More on the Duck Dynasty controversy. An old video from a few years ago of Phil Robertson going on a very homophobic rant resurfaces. The future of Duck Dynasty is discussed, with other members of the Robertson family threatening to not do the show without the patriarch of the family. Glenn Beck says Duck Dynasty should come to the Blaze. John C. Beale, a climate change expert, defrauded the EPA out of $900,000 by pretending to be in the CIA. He claimed he was on covert assignments for CIA but really set home reading books or doing chores while earning $206,000 a year.

  2. I love when ben went crazy and threw the pen that was awesome. I love it when there is a kute panda bear on TYT. I wish he could be on more.

  3. I had to look it up on google before believing it but wtf is mr topenhat? It’s Thomas the tank engine and the fat controller. Maybe saying the word ‘fat’ is too sensitive in the us (would’ve said ‘too close to the bone’ but that would be literally incorrect).

  4. If duck dynasty went to the blaze, good for both of them.

    This is the weakest fucking scandal of all time, people are allowed to think heterosexuality is the way to go, this redneck didnt preach hate or violence against gay people… so who fucking cares?

    Im not gay, dont really know any gay people, but I have nothing against them. Stop acting like they are just this giant victim, who need to be protected every step of the way.

    This is america, let the guy express himself without being a sensational pussy.
    This shit is embarassing….

    1. Please troll, try harder, no one is saying that he shouldn’t have his rights to say whatever he want. Did you even watch the whole video before going on this foolish rant. He has his rights and guess what so does his criticizers, so get over it.

  5. Duck Dynasty going to the blaze would be a disaster. It’d explode Beck’s audience by a factor of 10, maybe 100. People like Duck Dynasty, I even think it’s funny. The whole thing is unfortunate. I guess I always figured they were ignorant bigots, but what the hell was GQ doing asking him what his thoughts on gays were? Just what were they expecting?.

    1. The show is owned by A&E. They can’t go to another network unless A&E breaches their contract by refusing to pay, which they shouldn’t do because A&E would still be liable for most of the money if taken to Court.

        1. Depending on what it says in their contract, that is possible. I think A&E would be more inclined to keep unlimited rights to the show and pay them to stay off TV. They can air re-runs and get a decent amount of money for the duration of the contract. It’s the most popular show on their channel

    2. GQ asked the question because magazines sell exponentially during times of controversy. When was the last time GQ made national headlines, and everybody in the country was talking about their article? Journalists live for this shock news crap.

  6. “It’s very ironic that they won’t be able to protect Christmas because they all went home for Christmas.”

    Ladies and gentlemen, we got it: the first correct usage of the word “ironic” in the history of TYT! Well done, Cenk!

  7. Cenk,

    I live in Narita-shi, Chiba-ken, Japan,

    i think that i am member #1, please look me up, Jeff Dingman, Long Beach, circa 2000..

    Your comment and Jimmy’s shitty remark about sushi is raciest and offensive to myself and to my wonderful Japanese friends who have welcomed me to Japan. Please temper your comments about things which you nothing about..

    fuck you,

    jeff

    2. What? Are you fucking kidding me? Racist? I live in Ibaraki and had sushi today. Japanese people eat mother fucking sushi. He didn’t insinuate that that’s all they eat, he simply pointed out a common food in Japan. You’re ridiculous.

      1. Over-sensitivity is a pandemic. Apparently, some people think it’s now racist to say that there’s good sushi in Tokyo – it’s racist against guys named Jeff Dingman. Yes, those guys are now considered a race, look it up.
