Yo this is a Robbery like Israeli banksters did to their own citizens.
Hightighting false recent finance stories about TYT!
https://www.axios.com/the-young-turks-raise-20-million-to-beef-up-their-tech-sales-and-streaming-initiatives-2470673618.html
Quote from the article linked to above: “This is the first time the company has taken money to expand its business”.
This is obviously untrue since TYT took $4 million from Republican Buddy Roemer’s investment firm in 2014.

This is basic basic basic stuff people
Cenk knew there was something wrong.
I was not even listening (making food) but his reaction to the numbers made me open Excel ^_^
Well, John DID say we should check his math.
I’m about as anti-corporate as you can get, but come on John! You are getting some numbers wrong by a factor of 100! If we are talking about nearly 2 percent of the GROSS revenue from a giant corporation, then it isn’t insignificant. Granted its Wells Fargo which is just trying to stop the bleeding from mass scandal.
Great show again. Would like to see John in the first hour everyday.
For all of those who appear extremely confused. Collusion=/=hacking…… collusion can mean many things…..like million dollar loans from Russia with love because you have bankrupted so many times…..that’s illegal if your a prez,…….NOT ONCE has cenk talked about hacking as collusion……so please, stop trolling with bullshit
They know that. Ana misuses the word hacking all the time (which annoys me but this happens) but even she is not talking literal hacking of voting machines. She has discussed what she means by hacking and it’s collusion. Everyone on TYT has been clear on where they stand on this issue (which they stand a number of places). None of them are just repeating Hillary’s talking points but trolls gotta troll….
Glad to have you back, Cenk. It has been immensely frustrating having the main show hosts lean into the Russian conspiracy hype. Now that our fears that the Russian hysteria will be/is being used as a tool to smear and attack political opponents, it seems that Cenk is finally coming to understand what we have been saying all along: the primary objection to the Russian meddling conspiracy is the way in which it is being hyped and reported—the way it has made Kremlin and Russia and Moscow into bad words again, and the way that this uncritical hyperventilation can (and is) being used both as a distraction from the political defeat that Clinton/establishment/neo-liberalism was dealt and also as a cudgel to bludgeon political opponents.
It’s regrettable that it took something as egregious as this current Russian smear job on Stein for Cenk to see through the Russia hype, but I certainly hope this opens him up to seeing the error of his Russian reporting and, more importantly, that he doesn’t feed into the hysteria anymore.
Welcome back to the fight, Cenk, you have been missed.
So all the indictments and prosecutions that only scratched the surface are what, fake news?
And for your information neo-liberalism won last year, you were dumb enough not to see it through.
Republicans on the Senate Intelligence Committee are also investigating Hillary Clinton for Russion collusion, along with Jill Stein. I’ve not heard of Democrats on the committee participating. Have you? Republicans corrupted the House investigation long ago, maybe the Senate investigation has gone off the rails, too?
Jeff Sessions is looking into a Special Prosecutor for Hillary in the Uranium One fake scandal at the request of Trump. Good bye, Rule of Law. I think it more likely that Republicans in Congress have gone full in on Trump, America be damned. Mueller could conclude that Trump is a literal traitor working with Putin to destroy America and Republicans would not Impeach him. Fox News has gone bonkers with crazy attacks on Mueller and the entire FBI institution, even claiming the FBI is running a coup to overthrow our government.
I fear the reverse, Trump and the GOP are the ones overthrowing our government. Votes may truly not matter anymore. We’re being looted by billionaires, and they’re not even trying hard to hide it. Maybe they learned something from the biggest billionaire – Putin?
Feels like we threw the baby out with the bath water in an attempt to protest the establishment. Mueller is partisan, but not as an anti trump cronie, but as a shill to keep the narrative afloat; while they rob us blind. Every single person, from the hill to Dixieland, got a tax cut befitting a mobster.
I love this guy’s passion, his ideals and his ACTUAL patriotism.
Clarity on this stuff is so central to the future of journalism, democracy in this country and to what the rest of our lives are going to look like.
We should be calling out these ignorant establishment figures, phony intellectual and political conformists all the time, no longer entertaining their nonsense, but laughing and critiquing them, calling them out fiercely.
FINALLY, four days after the news broke, Cenk behooves himself to mention the scandal about the McCarthyite witchhunt going for Jill Stein. Thank you! And, yes, he did it with the necessary vigor, even if his viewpoint still is clearly influenced by his credulous, almost religious, stance on the Russia nonsense.
I wonder if Cenk could logically enumerate his stance on certain things:
1.) If there was some sort of collusion, what exacly then did Russia do to influence the outcome of the election?
2.) How do you reconcile Trump at the same time being a total idiot loser (as evidenced by the 30 videos Cenk did specifically on that topic prior to the election) and at the same time, apparently, a genius who has been hiding evidence so well that 1 1/2 years after the DNC hack the NSA, FBI and CIA (who have access to all phone and internet conversations of everyone on the planet) have not nailed down any hard evidence connecting Trump with the Russian government?
If Cenk would be honest with himself, he would be able to actually address those issues and have a conversation on air about that with someone like Kyle Kulinski or Jimmy Dore. So far I’ve only seen him declare something in the vein of “I concluded that I’m right on Russia, now I don’t need to lay out my case clearly anymore, because me declaring it to be right makes me right!”
Yes, yes, Trump probably had shady business deals in Russia. He also had them in Saudi Arabia, Turkey and whatever other number of nations. That doesn’t make him an agent of those nations (although in the case of Saudi Arabia there would be a much more credible case to be made there, though that can be said about every US president for a long time).
If the mission goal was always “get an FBI investigation to prove Trump was financially corrupt = impeachment”, could the establishment not have picked a way which doesn’t advance the clock to nuclear armageddon?
The investigation into Jill Stein is perfectly legitimate, she ran for president and there were legitimate suspicions raised by the Mueller investigation that her campaign may have had some help from the same internet bots who helped Trump in the targeted facebook ads.
She is not above the law as you imply.
As for your questions, Cenk and others addressed them multiple times, it is not their fault that you are too dumb to understand them or too dishonest not to admit they were right all along.
Oh, go fuck yourself, you right wing troll asshole.
I call it as I see it and I do not flinch nor apologize when I am right and in this case I am.
Have a nice weekend.
Jill Stein–a decent,thoughtful and brave human being. I gave all I could for Sanders Campaign and when I met her at the convergence convergence in D.C. for Draft Bernie in September I felt sheepish that I voted for Clinton out of fear. Just putting it out there.
Josh Fox has joined the ranks of the neo-McCarthyites. He’s accusing people on Facebook as being trolls and bots, and on Twitter, he posted “Ever since I was a metal head back in the 80s and hated Bon Jovi and any fucking false metal, I have hated poseurs more than anything. @DrJillStein is a poseur. And a fraud. And (quite possibly a traitor),” and “The tone (and user descriptions) of so many of these comments are really bullying. Reminiscent of trolls. Yes. Some of them even say that they are Russian trolls.”
He’s destroying TYT’s credibility as a progressive news organization.
$200 million in bonuses divided by $163.8 billion in revenue comes to 0.12% so John was off by a factor of 100. #math_lessons_for_John #what_else_is_john_wrong_about
I would give any American, trained in the American school system a break when it comes to math :)
John, I don’t think you were moving your decimal appropriately for your percentages.
It needs to be (Bonus/Revenue) * 100 = percent of revenue
Where the hell is Ana?
Cenk, the Russians wanted to siphon votes from HRC. Jill Stein was at the RT dinner with Flynn and Putin just prior to the election meddling.
You didn’t understand Cenk’s report on this?
Claire McCaskill and Nancy Pelosi also had such meetings with Putin. Are they guilty as well?
Your math is a bit off, John. To calculate this, you divide the $200M being paid by the $168B they made. That comes out to 0.00119, but that isn’t the same as 0.00119%. In this case, 1 would be 100%, 0.1 would be 10%, and 0.01 would be 1%. So 0.00119 is 0.119%, or a little over a tenth of 1%.
*sees Cenk screaming in the thumbnail*
This is going to be a fun one I can tell.
that’s the best at&t can do man Pablo Escobar at one time gave 6 million a day to the poor of Columbia…
This is a perfect hour for understanding why I want John to have the first hour every day. Cenk had the first thirty minutes of the show to himself. He screamed “witch hunt” about a hundred times and pretended he thought Chuck Todd really is surprised when he says he’s surprised. That was 30 minutes.
John shows up in the second half and before we’d gone 10 minutes, we had 3 stories about relevant news today, no screaming, actual facts and details, analysis and news. Give John the first hour.
I felt the same way today, you are right
So Cenk, are you equating RT with BBC??
You really think that RT is not a Russian propaganda outlet??
BBC is a propaganda outlet. MSNBC is a propaganda outlet. CNN is a propaganda outlet. Fox is a propaganda outlet. Sinclair Broadcasting is a propaganda outlet. NPR is a propaganda outlet.
And yes, TYT is a propaganda outlet.
It’s all propaganda. This is why we need to educate citizens in critical thinking skills.
RT has many excellent commentators and journalists and shows. So far as propaganda outlets go… its one of the better ones.
Taxes do NOT fund the federal government. The US government collects taxes in US dollars, only US dollars. US dollars did not exist until the govt created them. It is the source of dollars. You could not even pay your taxes in dollars until the govt created the dollars. So the govt must spend first before it collects taxes. It is a logical impossibility for taxes to fund the *federal* govt (taxes do fund state and local govts though). Although taxes don’t fund the govt they do serve other purposes… Any cutting of entitlements is purely a political choice and not a financial one… so no, the govt doesnt have to “find the money” anywhere, it’s the source of the money.
The Green Party lands, finally, in scandal.
What you missed, Cenk, is that these jerks have access to the NSA data on PPRISM. They certainly recorded everything they could on all US presidential candidates plus every other nation they consider worthy of interest also.
This is what it means to have a library of everyone’s private communications. Every cannabis transaction, every driving ticket, every extramarital affair, every tax fudge, every ashy snark, everything and anything at all they have on anyone they monitored with automated surveillance ce measures, is available for use in ‘parallel discovery’.
Whatever Stein gets smeared with, they have it already. This is just the framing we are seeing now. This is how they justify rummaging through every last long-forgotten andgry email flame or snark for the ‘smoking gun’, or semen stain, or whatever.
Have you ever heard of the legal concept “Fruit of a Poisonous Tree”?
Basically it means if you obtain evidence in an illegal or unconstitutional manner (without a court order or consent), they cannot be used in court at all and any results that are derived from that evidence (that is the evidence lead to more evidence) renders all subsequent evidence inadmissible even if the latter was obtained legally.
PRISM’s (which still technically doesn’t exist) constitutionality is suspect at best and any warrant that makes PRISM possible cannot justify using the data as evidence against a particular person.
The best that can be done is for the FBI to ask the NSA gently for the data through a warrant, problem is that you can’t ask for a warrant on a program that officially doesn’t exist (PRISM and other programs still do not exist officially) not to mention it opens a rabbit hole no one wants to enter.
