  1. I haven’t been able to watch any of this weeks TYT main hour videos on here. All of them say “Stream not found” and Friday’s first hour says page not found. :/ Hopefully this will get sorted out soon–I’m gonna watch the youtube clips for now, but I like watching the full hours! Technical difficulties can be a bitch.

  2. What’s the deal these days? The download takes 15 hours (10kbps). And I try to watch it in a browser and “stream not found”. Haven’t we forked over enough money with the assrapily high membership fees and then the studio funding campaign to at least actually get the show?

      1. And then it finally works, but cuts off after 20 or so minutes, as many people below have noted so obviously not just me.

        1. The 20 minute cutoff thing is different from the video completely not playing. And skipping seems to work while streaming, for me at least. And download speeds are also fine.

          1. Well since the start of this year I’ve experienced the download speed issue across multiple devices, internet connections, and even continents, so if it’s just me it must be voodoo.

            And the cutoff thing is more like a random cutoff that occurs about 5 times during the course of trying to watch one hour.

  4. WTF is this out of time shit? Your not on a network, you set the rules. Keystone xl story was interesting, but who cares, hosts have other shit to do….

  5. EBT is flawed, in the same way the entire country is…. When I have been unemployed, the idea of eating fast food, or buying a morning snack at 7-11 is 100% out of the question. Yet you constantly see stores/fast food restaurants with giant signs advertising they accept ebt. Those restaurants want their share of the government money. If your broke enough to require federal assistance, you owe it to the US tax payers that are buying you your breakfast to be frugal. But who cares….its free money. If they had $1, they wouldnt goto 7-11, they would buy some ramen. But because they have $1 and $x on their magic free, shame free atm card, they get to eat out? BULLSHIT

    As usual, one side says welfare is terrible (fox news), and the other praises it (the left, INCLUDING tyt). The truth is as allways, somewhere in between. We shouldnt cut welfare to the bone… but its not without fault. You give honest working people discredit by implying anyone who wants to change the welfare state are bad people. Im all for public assistance to those who need it, but implying it isnt abused is retarded.

    1. I would agree but the thing you said about Tyt saying that welfare is not abused. Where did you get that from? They have said many times that welfare has been abused plenty of times on their videos, just because their Progressives doesn’t mean they don’t say welfare isn’t abused but the larger problem is the wages people pay these workers for them to be in welfare most times.

  6. Monica Crowly is talking out of her A**. The tax rate on people earning over 500,000 was 70-90 percent from 50s through the 70s, the free market did well then. Tax rates don’t inhibit the free market. Conservatives just make up B.S. on the fly and repeat it often hoping others won’t challenge them on their made up narrative. They need to be called every time for their B.S.

  7. Cenk, I have to say, you are an idiot to have gone on that walk. You should preserve your health for where it counts.

  9. I’m not sure if it’s just me, but recently the videos have been cutting off about 15-20 minutes into the show.

    3. This downloaded file quits on playback about one-third of the way in, while playing it on iTunes (Mac OS). I ran into a similar problem yesterday playing the postgame from a few days back. That one failed while playing it back on an iPad2. So yes, there are problems.

    4. Not sure what others experience, but for me, it just resets onto a black screen with the ‘play’ arrow. I then have to figure out the exact place where it cut off so i don’t miss anything or listen to too much of it twice. this HAS to be the flash player, not the connection. If it were just the connection, then it would just spin and buffer. So the TYT website people have the power to fix this, if they would experiment with different flash players. I don’t think I get the problem in Internet Explorer, but I do in firefox.

    1. On the first week of college classes as well. I wish it was timed better, I think a lot more people could have shown up (myself included). Restoring democracy or not, I can’t miss the first week of classes, and neither can other like-minded college students.

    2. It was timed now because this is the time of year when the Presidential primary will be in 2016. They are going to do this march the next two years. The idea is that it will get bigger each year and when the Presidential primaries are held the march will be going on again and people will start asking the candidates how they will get money out of elections.
