Cenk hosts TYT today. New revelations about Glenn Beck’s sickness that Cenk has been skeptical of. The diagnosis he was given from a discredited doctor actually doesn’t exist. Two Palestinian men entered an Israeli synagogue and murdered 4 worshippers with axes and a gun before being killed by police. Netanyahu promised to respond harshly to the attack. Since going to the site is widely seen as a provocation, Cenk talks about how it came to this bloody end, but is in no way condoning the violence. A new study has shown that since we’ve launched the War on Terror, the number of deaths caused by terrorism has gone up 60% last year. Cenk explains how and why this happens. Now that the Democrats got their asses handed to them in the midterms and Obama delayed immigration reform to avoid that, Senate Democrats are imploring Obama to wait again to do anything. Their fears lie over the GOP threatening to shut down the government. It has been uncovered by CNN that Republican candidates were communicating with and coordinating their campaigns with donors and political groups via Twitter. The communication between the groups is illegal. The previous colluding with outside groups were done through odd ads, like Mitch McConnell’s random smiling. Video of McConnell’s now infamous ad featuring him smile to cheesy music. In response to this brazen Twitter coordination, the FEC is most likely to do nothing about it. A NYC high rise building deal has quietly included a tax break for the ultra rich luxury developers that they are not eligible for. They got the tax credit by bribing Andrew Cuomo for only $100K to apply it to their needs. These tax credits could cost NYC $100 million/year, or $1 billion over its tenure. These fat cats received $1 billion for a simple bribe of $100K. Turkish president Erdogan has a 1.6 million sq ft palace with 1000 rooms. The price for this edifice has doubled in cost than originally estimated due to additions like imported Italian trees. When asked about the extravagance, the president claimed it a show of the country’s prestige. In the past he claimed that Muslims discovered America hundreds of years before Columbus came.

Comments
I have noticed lag and problems lately also when not watching live. I hope someone reads these comments, wades though trolls and notices there are some real problems that need fixing. Like streaming and making sure the show get posted.
We love TYT that’s why we say things
you condemning the people praising those killers in isreal but I can almost garantee that most of those people cheering the hatchet killres and loved ones killed by isreal’s army. I dont condone but I understand.
I hate how much preamble and cover Cenk has to give just to talk fairly about two sides to a conflict. No one ever does this for Israeli violence, but if you’re not even going to defend, but just talk openly about the two sides, all this god damn preamble has to be said to say:
“look I’m defending violence, but these people have this point of view, and I’m not defending violence, but this violence has its roots here, and I’m not defending violence, but this holy site is particularly holy, and I’m not defending violence or religion, but this might explain why things like this happen, but I’m totally not defending violence.”
Look, I get why he has to do it, and my problem with it is not Cenk, but it pisses me off that he has to do it. It’s like he’s running a news show for kindergarten. Nobody would ever take that much care before discussing Israeli perspectives. While I agree it’s stupid (ie not tactical) to lash out in violence, it’s also understandable. If thousands of your friends and neighbors, kids, wives, sisters, cousins had just been brutally slaughtered, you would pick up an ax too. It’s not blind stupidity. It’s rage, and anger and hate, very understandable rage and anger and hate. It’s the hatred of any oppressed people against their oppressor, and they don’t usually get access to the leaders and the people who oppress them. They get access to the bait that leaders stick in their face in order to incite more violence.
Downloading would be ok if it didn’t take 20-30 minutes
EVERYONE WITH PLAYER PAUSING ISSUES – after you pause the video, when you try to resume it, click the location of the marker on the timeline to force a refresh at that spot in the video. It will solve your problem.
TYT should figure out how to use a locked down youtube or vimeo service for these videos.
Downloading is a minor pain in the ass; however, the @$#%&#$@~! player
makes it necessary.
WTF~? Can’t the tech crew do better~?
Love you anyway.
UPAYA
I gotta say i hate this fucking player and as a subscriber i would think i would get better service, every time i pause the player it will reset back to the beginning of the video unless i click on the progress bar after i unpause it it is very annoying.
Seems like it happens to everybody. I gave up on it and just download the videos now, works fine then.
Yeah that’s a good idea i should probably do that but i don’t ><.
this is ridiculous, at 45 minutes, it (jplpayer) has skipped 7 times by now, is it getting worst or is it just statistical fluctuation?
normally its about 1 to 2 times an hour.
The player unfortunately sucks. I don’t know if anything is being done to fix it though. ;(
