  3. This is why executive orders need to go away. They are not binding and allows a president to make major changes in policy on a whim. These orders are a way to get around checks and balances and give to much power to the Executive branch

  6. GIGI, PLEASE JUST TELL US IF WE ARE GETTING MAIN SHOW FOR MONDAY 4TH SEPTEMBER ON MONDAY OR IF WE ARE GOING TO NEED TO WAIT TILL TUESDAY? THANKS.

  10. I really wish TYT would put the DATE (and maybe the TYT logo) somewhere on its videos. The YouTube livestream link name, even though it says “Live”, is usually totally BS. I just watched your livestream labeled “Sept 1st, 2017” and it obviously was aired back in July before Pie was even telling people where he was going, when it was actually aired I have no idea because it doesn’t have a date on it. If you have the ability to put people’s name up on the screen, why not the DATE it was aired.

    1. after the show ends, they do replays of shows from like a month or so ago. the live current airing only takes place between 6-8pm est.

      so this is how we know.

  11. It would be great to have more shows where you walk the audience through the how and why, as you did with harvey and climate change. The people who happen upon tyt who are of the right winged bat type are defensive coming in, so explaining it in a passionate way is fine but taking aim at their dingleberryness, is of cours great but to “snap those folks out of it, thier defences need to be down, otherwise they will double down on their knum knutz right wing dingle jingle

  15. 77x the amount he wanted to raise, just by the time of reporting it. That speaks volumes about Watts and the people who’ve contributed.

  16. Thinking about Trump raging about Antifa and alt left people with clubs reminded me of the saying “you brought a knife to a gunfight”. We literally brought sticks to a gunfight.

  18. What is with this nonsense attitude towards the term “redistribution of wealth?” Why is Cenk trying so hard to dodge being in favor of it when he is? Cenk is for making the rich and corporations actually pay taxes and raise wages. That’s the government redistributing wealth, from the rich to the poor, not from the coasts to the interior. It’s a good thing.

  19. I hear ya! I feel ya, but, she is a monster. I didn’t vote for her, and I’m still not sure that was a bad idea. Trump is exposing politics for what it is. I don’t think with Clinton we would be where we are today. People would have stopped paying attention to news, back to bau, dancing with the stars crap. He is making republicans look ridiculous. With Clinton I don’t think McConnell would have a 15% approval rating. I’m still leaning towards this had to happen so independent right leaning voters could see the vicious reality of the extreme right. How many independents today want to be associated with nazi fascist. It had to go this way so hate could come out into the light. It has and it’s disgusting and it pushed a crapload of the middle left.

  21. Good Grief, Sounds to me like ONE HuuuGE Money Laundry Scheme…We need some catchy Labels for these bullshit “Tactics”. What is The end Game? Why are these people Speeding Towards A Cliff with The Country and the People as Hostages?? We the People are near to being as irrelevant as every other oppressed People, regardless the label those in Power might claim…russians, chinese, egyptians, syrians, polish…

  22. As to Antifa et. al., *I* was accused of being a bot multiple times, probably because I was a vocal Hillary Clinton supporter. I had and have my own reasons for supporting her and I don’t want to get into that again here and cause a huge uproar over that. However, I will say this: I watched the TYT conventions and election coverage, and when that slime-ball Alex Jones got in my TYT friends faces, their responses did surprise me. A very wise ex of mine once said to me “If you want to know how someone really feels, get them either really angry, or really drunk”. Alex Jones would make a GIRL SCOUT angry, and his strategy (as disgusting as it was) WORKED. Cenk’s reaction: Prepare to beat the crap out of him (with Ben holding him back as I recall); Ana’s reaction: Fat-Shaming Mr. Jones (he must have had too many of those DELICIOUS [sacastic] shakes he sells); Jimmy’s reaction: dump ice tea on that other a-hole that was with Jones. And he (Jones) had a field day with that crap for MONTHS. TYT was pearls before the swine to Infowars, but they fell into his trap which I’ve no doubt he set deliberately. Sometimes, yes, be paranoid, like at that convention, but other times don’t be OVERLY paranoid. I’m not a bot. I’m a person. I’m transgender. The only candidate out of ALL of them to have had done something positive for our community at that time was Hillary Rodham Clinton. She is a good person, but almost all of you fell for the lie that Republicans sold you, that she’s some kind of monster. She’s not always fast enough to change her stances, but she will admit when she’s wrong, and the truth is we got Trump because we aren’t worthy of the love and compassion that woman has for all of us. No, violence isn’t the answer Antifa, but I wish Cenk had followed his own advice that day on the RNC TYT stage. And yeah, stupid or not, I’m still WITH HER.

    1. You don’t sound like a Hil Bot, you sound like a Trump supporter. “the truth is we got Trump because we aren’t worthy of the love and compassion that woman has for all of us” Literally sounds like something a Trumppanzee would say had he lost. That stupid “dear leader” attitude you have there is why we have Trump.

    2. Drat, not to rehash that whole mess, but the reason I and so many other ardent progressives could not vote for Clinton was not falling for the Republican lie that she was evil, Trump makes her look like a Saint. The reason we did not vote for Clinton, well, mine at least, was that I thought she was a shoe in at the time I voted, well before the election day as I now reside in Austria; was quite simply that a third party is needed more than anything else presently.

      The Dems are dead. They’ve been throwing local elections for a decade and supporting them is moronic. This was especially proven by not being able to trounce Trump. A third party is the only hope we have if money isn’t out of politics by 2018, which it won’t be. That’s why, as well as her positions being the closest to Bernie’s that I voted for Stein, about 3 weeks before election day.

      1. Wait. Look at that last paragraph. She couldn’t beat Trump, so you voted for a third party. How do you think she was supposed to beat Trump if people voted for other candidates?

    3. @dratheart:

      Saying that “the only candidate who did something positive was Hillary” is not true.

      It was very positive that Bernie spoke up about the need to address the corporate oligarchy that rules this country, and the extreme economic inequality that it has produced.

      Hillary is a pro-Wall Street corporatist who would not have done anything substantive to address economic inequality if she had been elected. That is not a republican lie, that is the truth about how corrupt the Democratic Party has become.

      Legions of Hillary supporters were incredibly arrogant and condescending whenever anyone tried to point out that the public was sick of Washington insiders who support the status quo. And lots of them have not learned a goddamn thing from the election….

      1. syrinx35, I did not say “the only person who did something positive was Hillary”, I said “something positive for the transgender community” was Hillary. And that’s actually a fact. While at the State Department, Hillary Clinton approved new rules that allowed Transgender individuals to obtain US Passports with their chosen gender reflected on them- requiring only that a Letter from our Treating Physician attesting we were indeed transgender. This was a HUGE deal for us, especially considering many of us chose to travel outside the United States to have Sex/Gender Reassignment Surgery done in places like Thailand where the cost is more affordable that the up to 50K it easily costs from a good surgeon here in the US. It also allowed us to use our passport for work identification meaning we did not have to reveal our past to our employers. Hillary earned my loyalty by being the first person to truly stand up for people like me, and I will always think of her fondly for that. It’s not a dis on Bernie Sanders. Point me to anything he did specifically for the TG community and I’ll eat crow.

  23. I haven’t watched yet, but when I saw the hosts I immediately began singing in Zach Galifinakis’ voice ‘the three best friends that anyone could have.’

  24. On DACA, I have to disagree.

    The heart and soul of this country and every other country is the enforcement of laws so long as they are constitutional. The executive has no right to selectively apply the law pure and simple.

    If you do not like the law then change it but to exempt people from the law because they came as toddlers or have given so much to the country is absolute rubbish. On average, legal migrants spend 10 years in line, and in many cases even longer, just to get the green card and many lose it on a fucking bureaucratic whim and are forced to leave for good but illegals, and these are illegals no matter how you spin it, get to have multiple chances?

    Sorry. If you are illegal then leave and if you are a citizen supporting illegals becoming legal then vote, write and campaign for legalization, which I have no problem with and actually support, but do not argue for illegal actions such as these.

    By doing so you just opened the door for the executive to selectively not applying the law on any class of people or corporation if they feel so.

    1. and if you’re black and it’s 1960, just accept that sometimes you’ll face a jury of racists who sentence you to death over the littlest things. sorry, buddy, it doesn’t affect me, and it’s the law, and the law is pure and resistance to unjust laws is just so terrible.

      fuck off

      1. Don’t be so dramatic. There is a world of difference between Jim Crow laws and Immigration laws. Jim Crow laws were unconstitutional even by the standards set in Plessy v. Ferguson which legitimized segregation in the first place (and that decision itself is unconstitutional as well).

        My point above is that under no circumstances should the Executive Branch be allowed unilaterally to chose which laws it can enforce and which to ignore. By allowing such precedent what stops the Executive from not enforcing other laws such as laws regulating the environment or laws regulating Wall Street under the banner of “economic benefit”?

    2. Sec, these “illegals” we’re kids when they were brought to this country. Have you an ounce of humanity? Many of those people were fleeing near certain death from starvation or the drug wars and damn it, even if that weren’t enough, these kids often know only English, they know only American values, they are fucking Americans who’s parents illegally immigrated. They didn’t; mom and dad did and brought them along.

      They’ve already become members of our society. Nearly 1 in 5 own homes. I wonder if any demographic of millennials in the country has as high a home ownership rate by their age? I would rather suspect there isn’t. So, we throw out the most successful group of millenials we have? How does that make any sense for any one?

      1. I think I was pretty clear in my post, I am not opposing legalizing those dreamers, and all illegal aliens who are established here and have not committed felonies, I just want it to be done in a constitutional way by an act of congress.

        Letting the Executive Branch do it unilaterally is just plain wrong.

  28. The moment he said small communities are looking for investments (corporations) to bring money into the community I wanted to body slam him. Communities are looking for higher wages and fair health insurance so THEY can be the investment in the community.

  31. as one of Tim Ryan’s constituents who has voted for him in past elections, it is disappointing to hear him promote this kind of policy idea.
