I lived in KS for 13 years and am quite familiar with the “rapture” people as Sam Brownback was one & look what happened with him. When he was still a senator, i called him the Rapture king of K Street. Then he was elected guv and all but destroyed state finances & schools with draconian tax cuts. “God” only knows what will Pompeo will do.
Kayne/Trump TV show, ” How the West was Trumped”
Seems as tho the nightly TYT live news looks more and more like the MSM type stuff, porn stars, Bill Cosby, ect. Looking more like entertainment media, I had come to expect more from TYT. At least you now had Dan Rather!
So, I am guessing you weren’t with us 10 year sago?
Back then it was about 50/50 entertainment and politics. The only times that changed was during and right after the elections. So, what you are seeing now is nothing new.

I obviously have differing beliefs than my parents with it comes to politics and religion. When discussing Trump bombing and starting a war in Syria, my father’s response was “Well, it says in the bible that the end of the world will be in that region. It started there and will end there so this just goes along with it. There will never be peace.” My response was close to you’ve got to be kidding. You believe we should start another war because it goes along with the bible. What about all the people that will be slaughtered just for greed? His response was once again the bible says. I couldn’t listen to it, and had to announce that I couldn’t care less what that book says. If that book is true, then freaking magic exists and I’m Harry Potter. My mom had to interrupt the conversation and tell us to talk about something else.
My parents are not stupid people, but their religion takes away all common sense. They’ve been brainwashed.
thats so sad and very common. keep you head up, I take these encounters as great lessons in talking to people we care about but know they fell into the propaganda
I’m just about to spend a week with my conservative, christian, Trump-voting parents who are both in their 80’s. And my Dad is super political and addicted to Fox News…. They’ve gotten SUPER religious in the last 10 years and go to bible study twice a week. A friend of mine calls it “studying for the final”.
It BLOWS MY MIND that these are the smart, kind and thoughtful people who raised me. I never remember them being racist…but now, they have lost all sense empathy and reason when it comes to liberals or “the other”…
Just know that there are MANY of us suffering with this crazy relative shit! :)
The Postal Service is struggling these days – downsized from 40,000 locations to 30,000. Staffing has been pared back to bare minimums and budgets slashed. Gillebrand’s idea is not bad but not sure it could be successfully implemented without significant change at the USPS. Ex-Postie
not only could it, it’s been done before in the 30’s and 50’s in some locations. This is not Gillebrand’s idea, but a long-held idea that has been already supported by the post master general, already worked out in detail, already been approved as a lawful use of the post office. The idea is perfectly workable. what stops it is that it would be a critical hit to the loanshark (payday loan) industry, and because of the pushback from other interests that have been trying to cripple the post office for decades, like the 2006 fully fund all pensions for 80 years bullshit.
I hate this new “no swearing” rule that I assume is imposed by the big sponsor. I mean, it’s one thing to ask hosts to not just swear willy-nilly, but if you are reading someone else’s quote, it’s ridiculous. They said it, you didn’t…
I agree it’s annoying, but my understanding is that it has nothing to do with sponsors. TYT has expanded their audience and some of the new platforms where they can be heard/viewed may have restrictions. They also have to watch their language so that youtube algorithms don’t automatically demonetize their videos due to language.
Regarding the rapture, you have not explained it it is stated in the Bible. Jesus came to redeem those lost. When Jesus comes back for his chosen, people will still have a second chance. You are dumbing down what the Bible says about the rapture.
I have said this before i like your show but some times you make it a point to attack Christians. You don’t like Christians attacking other people but you continue to attack Christians; judgy much!!??
So I would still need to convert to Christianity or die in a fiery hellscape? What a kind, loving, and understanding god you have. I don’t think Cenk is the one being “judgy”. Looing forward to the deaths of billions of non believers (people) is sinister no matter how hard you work to make it sound pleasant or moral.
“When Jesus comes back for his chosen, people will still have a second chance.”
So…be ‘saved’ by agreeing to the demanded form of faith, or you can “choose” not to believe & be cast out into eternal suffering and misery.
is this supposed to be an endearing position? lol. ‘am I not merciful??” vibes galore.
Cenk. Geoffrey is a lannister.
Nope. It’s Joffrey Baratheon.
John simply cannot let go that people chose to NOT vote for Hillary.
He seems to think that Progressives would STILL be just as motivated. That Democratic voters who do NOT pay attention to politics, would be just as outraged or motivated to vote for Progressives now. That the DNC & DCCC would still have been exposed for the corrupt vultures that they are.
John seems to think majority of voters knew what Obama was doing (doing Bankers bidding & expanding wars), and that they knew about Hillary’s obvious corruption. Sorry, John, you’re wrong.
Most voters need to be punched in the face before they will pay attention to anything, other than what the President’s TV character is presented as. Prez Obama was cool and Prez Trump is a twitter-trainwreck.
If Hillary had won she would be doing the same shit, just at a slower & more subtle rate. Other than new wars (Hillary would probably have added a couple by now), Americans would STILL have shitty healthcare, Banks would STILL be gearing up to crash the economy, and the EPA would still be ignoring environmental disasters.
John, do you really think Hillary would have done anything different?
Would she have stopped the pipelines.
Helped Flint or Chicago residents with their water.
Not given tax-cuts for billionaires.
Not be talking about “fixing Social Security.”
Most of the Dems have been voting right along on all Trump’s shit. They didn’t even fight for DACA.
She would be doing the SAME GOD DAMN THINGS. She would just be more sneaky & EFFICIENT at it.
Well he is right, elections have consequences and the more stubborn some progressives get in their denial the worse things will get.
Just look at Hungary. Victor Orban barely won 48% of the vote but thanks to an opposition that refuses the mere principle of compromise he won 70% of the seats in parliament, a super-majority giving him the keys to the kingdom that he has wrecked beyond recognition.
And this is the third election in a row he won a super-majority and the opposition still won’t unify.
As to your questions above, I can guarantee with certainty that the tax cuts would not have passed and that alone is a reason to vote for her.
John can’t let go anything. He goes on ridiculously long rant, adding little to the discussion and repeating himself a lot. He’s actually guilty of wasting a lot of air time of meaningless dribble and allegories that connect to very few people. Notice how much he tends to run out of breath because he’s trying to stuff so many word in a single sentence.
Take just this hour for exemple, it took them 10 minutes to get to the first story. This happens a lot when John is on the panel. At least if Cenk steal time from the second hour, it’s often because he has something meaningful to add.
Now I think he’s a smart and knowledgeable guy, and I get that he is opinionated. He’d make a great columnist. But he has to work on his on air skills.
not by her choice, no. She’d have to be pushed to. The difference is that she could have been pushed, whereas the current situation is setting us back, so we have to fight just to get back to the terrible positions of Obama. The people who don’t pay attention, who aren’t fighting now, the ones who make jokes about trump on facebook and call that activism, wouldn’t be doing anything in that scenario, that’s true, but they’re not doing anything now either. They’re just paying attention more, because they think everything was great and then Trump showed up and now it’s horrible. Those stupid people aren’t important. Major activists groups that are struggling right now to not fall too far down toward chaos would be working just as hard as they are now, only they’d be making progress, not desperately trying to slow regress.
What you can’t seem “let go” is that as bad as Hillary was, she was a much better choice than Trump, and it doesn’t matter how much you keep fighting like your moral vote made a difference. It fucking didn’t. Turn your rage at John toward your own ignorance. It is you who needs to wake the fuck up.
well said.
Kanye is NOT a musical genius. I don’t give a F what anyone says. The man is an idiot at best and all he is doing is creating drama in order to keep his name in the press. Exactly like his wife and her family, they are all attention whores, nothing more.
I will grant him that he might be a performance art genius.
I agree. He his so high on himself . He really think he is a genius..A very stable genius :-)
When people are in church that is how they talk Cenk, once they walk out the door ( some in the church) act whatever way they want. You won’t find Christians going out in crusades persecuting others etc…I am talking about real Christians not the nuts that hide behind the religion.
So after nearly 3 years of TYT watching, Cenk has finally been incorrect on something …. Kanye is most definitely a musical genius, hip hop heads know this and the 2 dudes above commenting that they’re lightweight hip hop listeners, well their opinion doesn’t count when it comes to the genre; he is very much a genius from a music perspective. However, everything he’s said recently has been full of shit with ass kissing Trump b/c he got an official meeting at his house with him, like wtf, did any policies get changed? Noo!! Kanye is a damn fool when it comes to other matters, but strictly concerning music I can’t lie to myself even though his latest comments have been super toxic.
For those people who want the apocalypse to have Jesus come back, I’m a little confused on the concept. Do they already believe they are going to heaven? I assume so otherwise why are they talking about it in the first place. If so why do you need billions to die to get there when you’ll be there regardless. The people you don’t think will be there won’t and the people you do will. Is it just to physically be part of a walking dead show? I realize people are stupid but wishing mass genoside on the earth might be a damnable offense to Jesus.
This is part of the bible, the problem is people don’t actually read it they listen to excerpts picked by others to brainwash them or manipulate them. People should just take the time and read the book and actually follow the things it states and it would be a better world. They can start with the one that states ” Thou shall not kill”…
Or, you could read ALL of it and realize it’s a horrible idea to follow such a book.
Pompeo is a Dominionist, scary bunch.
Kanye and Trump, two men who are obssed with themselves.
obsessed*
Do you think anyone cares about your spelling police nonsense?
People pop up all the time to correct spelling. This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone correct his spelling by himself and someone popped up to criticize him for that.
KarinK: The price of freedom is eternal vicilance.
Uh, I mean viciousness. No, that’s not it — vigilance?
The price of freedom is eternal vigilantism. (Certainly true in the case of the second amendment.)

I’ll take your word for it and not watch it. :>
I think Cenk is jelly of Kanye.
Crack and Pot
Trump/Kayne TV Show: Prose & Con
Kanye fucking sucks. I’m a very limited fan of hip hop and I know this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpqR5T3maik
Masshole508, as you have no doubt seen, music changes over time. Once rock and roll reigned supreme. Now, hip hop has supplanted rock and roll. Also over time, music genres fuse. Today, you can hear country singers rap during the chorus of a few songs. Is what amazes me is how much jazz music was used in mainstream television shows in the 50s and 60s (think “Peter Gunn”). Today, jazz is a shadow of its former self. Fortunately, the internet allows surfers to fine tune their listening preference to whatever genres are preferred, or they can expand their listening repertoire.
As for Kanye, he is a fool if he thinks he can use Trump worse than Trump uses him. It is difficult to respect a celebrity/politician who rejects reading (Kenye/Bush).
Here is a link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyHNuVaZJ-k
that is more palatable, as long as you do not listen to the lyrics too closely, than the link you provided (in my humble opinion and I, too, like you, am a slight fan of hip hop).
Finally, with hip hop filling the ears of millions of young fans, some of its messaging protests injustice and inequality. Protest songs may not change the world, but perhaps it can encourage the youngsters to vote in their best interest.
Yeezy & Sleazy.
This was a great hour. John had some particularly good zingers.
Trump/Kayne TV Show: Who’s the Boss 2018
I could see them both competing to see who could run a business into the ground the fastest.
So ive tried to find information about kanye’s debt but everywhere I look it says that he never actually was debt in/is no longer in debt? Am i mistaken? can I see some sort of source to show evidence he was actually in debt? im seeing his declared net worth at 150 million
