This “Girl Panel” KNOWS if Cenk was third or Fourth they ALL would be reversed engineered…..it’s only when the opposition isn’t able to speak they wouldn’t be able to say without facing critics.
Other than that Feminism story. Everything else was on point.
Gene Simmons is correct, and the angle of the commentary here was wwaaayy off !!
Î wish we had Cenk for this one
On cops searching kids: he was overzealous because his son gave him a list of 13 names of known drug possesors. Kid ratted out his friends so the cop knew they had to have drugs on them. Got really carried away.
On arms deals: he is trying to sell planes and tanks (not guns) so they will help us fight n.korea and this is very popular among ‘citizens’ aka his donors. He dont give a fuck about us plebs or what we think. And he thinks hes doing good. He’s ignorant.
I gotta say, as someone with ADHD I would love that pill. I forget to take my pill all the time (it’s kind of one of the symptoms of my ADHD) and it would be great if my doctor or a friend could text and remind me to take it. Having someone to be accountable to makes all the difference. And it can save the state money??
Great show. Love this panel!
Where is Cenk when we need him? I’m not a huge fan of Gene Simmons, but the statements he made on the Today Show were factually correct from a sociobiological standpoint, whether these ladies like it or not. This panel is conflating the power DYNAMICS between women and men (which is what Simmons is actually talking about) with the ABUSE of that power that is currently (and rightfully) making headlines. Nothing that Simmons said even suggested that he thinks abuse of power is ok. What he did say was objectively true.
Is it just me or are the “hours” often shorter when Cenk isn’t hosting? Many times it seems stories/discussions are cut short or scrapped altogether. I realize they need to keep a strict schedule for the the radio broadcast but clearly that same strictness doesn’t need to be followed for the online audience or we wouldn’t have had 2 hours of TYT yesterday but only 1.5 hours today
Where’s the post game?!
Yes!! Where is it?
When I first heard about the digital pill, I immediately though of how useful that would be for patients with severe mental health problems, especially schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders. This was before I heard that Abilify was the drug used. One of the big problems with treating these disorders is med noncompliance. Many patients that are very functional on meds become completely nonfunctional off their meds and believe that they don’t need the meds anymore. They have a bad day or two and forget or have a moment of irrationality and decide to skip the pills, and it doesn’t take long for their lives to completely spin out of control and they end up in a mental hospital, jail, or worse. I get that this might not make sense to people who have never experienced this type of problem, but it’s naive to joke about how paranoid people are the wrong patients for this technology without attempting to understand the actual issues facing the mentally ill and their families and how this tech could be life-saving for many.
Gene was just speaking truth, he wasn’t even trying to be a dick I feel. He had a terrible way of explaining in certain elements but he was just telling like it is. There are things about men and women that we find attractive about each other, some of us are better at controlling the primal urges than others but never forget we are just really animals with great sophistication.
I think the panel is misunderstanding Gene Simmons. He is saying he is for women having all the power. Apparently his book is the manual/rules the men uses on his daily life. Gene I think is trying to inform women what is going on in a man’s mind so they are aware and I assume take precautions, be prepared mentally when confronting a man out of control.
Excellent panel, each strong woman had strong contributions. I’m not hating on some of the other women on the network, but this combination of personalities has a lot to offer.
I really enjoyed this panel. I’d like to see Amberia Allen as more of a regular panelist.
More Maytha!!!
I work at the school that had the drug search (wasn’t working there when it happened). The lawsuit that mentioned was settled. the sheriff/county will be giving out a settlement of 3 million dollars. from what ive heard, the search was severe violation of the students rights. this was way out of line for the sherriff to do what he did
Nothing that Gene Simmons says is surprising. He’s ALWAYS been a total pig. He’s literally always been like that. Completely unbearable.
Where is the 11-15-17 post-game?
Girl Power Hour, kickass! Great to see Maytha again, and I love that Amberia keeps coming back because she has a really level, measured, thought-out response to her answers and opinions (and tempers often flare at TYT!). We need to do this at least 1 hour per week, would that be okay?
And Hey! Men can use their flirty wiles to get what they want too! John in 1st hour totally worked his scruff-a-licious self! He knew what he was doing! He could have come in a Potato sack….
And again, Ana, I love you, you kick ass, and you’re a natural leader – you keep me subscribed to TYT. On the days where I’m most fed-up with Cenk, the ladies of TYT (you chief among them Ana) keep me happy and subscribed. The next fundraiser TYT holds better be the “Give Ana a Raise, Fundraiser”, seriously!
Oh and on the electronic pill story: I’m a mental health patient myself, and the issue that worries me most about this technology is one I’m frankly surprised that no one brought up, which is the issue of CONSENT. Multiple times the article referenced the fact that this was voluntary and patients can withdraw their consent at any time. The problem there is, though I am on the schizo spectrum and take my medications voluntarily and can give consent, the people they are targeting with this pill often are NOT. Meaning that this all done under the cloak of consent that often times is of questionable value. Furthermore, a person’s psychiatrist already holds a LOT of power in the dynamic between doctor and patient compared to other types of physicians. This doctor is someone you may need other medications from, many of which are controlled substances (Valium for instance). You may also need this physician to give you letters supporting your disability benefits, letters or testimony regarding minor criminal charges made against you while you’re not in your right mind, etc. And it’s also a doctor-patient bond that requires a lot of trust between those involved; if your doctor wants to use this technology on you, to someone who is already depressed, paranoid, etc that shows you at a minimum this person doesn’t trust you, and that’s a problem (a LOT of patients are there voluntarily and already feel some degree of shame for seeking help in the first place given the stigma that still exists about the mentally ill). There are also variances in how we take our medications based on very valid reasoning (say one is supposed to take Valium every morning, but one particular day you can’t get a family member to take you out, forcing you to drive, and you know that you need to be fully alert to drive safely, so they’ll be nervous that day in order to not place others in harms’ way, etc.).
Perhaps, in the future there can be better uses for this technology – but other than potentially putting more of the onus on the patient and thus immunizing the physician and/or pharmacist from blame or higher liability insurance premiums if they have “problem patients”, I don’t see the benefit yet, but I guess we’ll see.
Strong panel!! It was nice to see Amberia more comfortable and engaged than she was able to be when Hannah lead; she made great points! Super enjoy Mathya too, would love to see more :) Ana was baller.
I come here for policy discussion, not social justice, unless of course you are talking about a policy that’s affecting social injustice, then by all means, cover it. Ana’s getting on my nerves recently with her constant pivots to social politics and talking about the definition of the word “Rigged”, she almost sounds like the establishment at some point. I’m almost surprised she didn’t try to push the narrative that people didn’t want Donna Brazile on the rules comity because she was a black woman…
I have ADHD. I forget to take my afternoon and nighttime drugs if i dont use phone alarms, sometimes/often I turn off the alarm and think ‘yah in a minute’ and then…it’s 3am and I’ve spent hours on doing (to the outside observer, literally nothing productive) and then I get all shitty on myself for letting myself forget… and now I have to rush to do a bedtime routine and the small semblance of a ‘daily routine is all messed up for days…etc etc I could go on.
Essentially, i get distracted from taking my meds, which I need to help me from being too easily distracted 100% of the time… They are by no means a ‘magic fix’ but they help with the day to day boring shit we all have to do to function properly in the home and in society. If I could get this digital pill and have it just notify me, really pester me nonstop until I take my afternoon dose or whatever, it could be LIFE CHANGING(in the most boring but important ways). Even small changes in the dose/time between doses makes a huge difference in how ‘well my day goes’, because if I remember 1-2 hours after the alarm went off then it’s too far past the last dose to be as effective and if you’re not in a great place it can lead down a bad path mentally, mind wanderings and all. Now I’m just rambling, even though I did take my meds, but like, an hour late….soooooooo? yay science?
One might question the relevancy of giving fucks about anything Gene Simmons might have to say about anything… but I would be remiss, as a testicle haver, to tell the Power Girl Panel what they should be focusing on. Very unfortunately many dudes even younger dudes still think like him…, “a man can never be too rich, and a woman can never be too beautiful” I don’t think that was ever true!
about the digital pills, first off HAIL THE TECH!!! hot damn this is some next level tech, and brilliant! praise science! but I can not stop laughing that one of the first pills they put this on is for schizophrenia’s who probably already think the government is monitoring them, you have just proven them right! also I want this tech implemented on viagra with a text sent to the wife when her husband pops a boner pill, so she can be properly warned and start getting a headache.
Good on everything except that headache remark; relationships should be built on trust and openess
Loved this panel today. Am I the only one who had to turn my volume all the way up? For both hours the volume was so low that I had to turn the volume to max on my laptop and my air conditioner down.
Same. On both fronts, actually.
It’s not vandalism to public property, it’s destruction of state/federal property. Don’t ask me how I know this.
I still could barely hear with the volume all the way up.
Hands down, exceptional panel. Best 2nd hour ever!
It is after 12:00 am ET. No Postgame up, no Old School available. It is nice to work in a laid-back atmosphere but you must balance that family feeling with the ability to do the job as promised. Nicer studio, more and better equipment and every week there is a major hiccup. Delegate someone to crack the whip on the production of the main Members Only content. One more thing – There is technically a show after the regular Friday 2-hour show. It needs to be listed on the schedule. If you do not want to call it a Postgame, O.K. but it is a very interesting and entertaining offering. Give it another name, but list it. I just stumbled across it by accident.
Love this panel! Yes, female power hour!
So, what happened to the post game? Same technical issues that forced the long break, and then apparently showed a different stream to some people when Old School was on? I could see Old School, but others were saying they only saw the flag graphic waving.
