This guy is full of BS. His hate for Trump is pathetic. Trump is the only politician who lost over $1B after his 1st Presidency, unlike Obama and Biden who became wealthy after their Prsidencies!

This is good stuff, important stuff, excellent perspective, insights, thoughts, even guidance. I didn't imagine I'd stick around, riveted, for a whole FOUR hours.

Refreshing. Because I gotta say, The Young Turks so often irritates with a tendency to go off on hyperbolic rants — like how DELUSIONAL Biden is for what he said on The View! (CTFO) — that smells too much like Fox News shock jockery.

You're smart people resisting corruption (illegal or legal) and have something important to do. Don't waste it on turn-offs. .02. Love ya – b

It's so funny how Lex hesitated when talking about Epstein, mentions "CIA" instead of "Mossad"

Donald Trump is a fraud. His supporters are rubes. He is a crypto-Jew playing a political reality show.

Is Cenk Muslim?

Cenk VS Rogan . . . .!!! Let's goooooOOO!!!

Cenk seems too sure of himself. Too sure of his opinions. I am sorry that Lex thought so highly of the DEM VP candidate. Innocence gets us nowhere with these shapeshifters in high office, or running for.

Real data points are polling? All the polling had Hillary winning!

Even when he is not shouting like a big baby he is unbearable 😂😂😂

The line between corporatist’s and capitalist’s is no more real than the imagined equality amongst communists.

The Supreme Court did not say corporations were human beings but that they are entities that have rights.

Ok . The federal gov’t doesn’t pay for all drug research or even most. And in every industry , businesses set prices , so why not drugs companies. The real problem is the way parents get renewed .

When pence walked away that tells the story

Per existing conditions stopped great policy

Every body has the same rights stop fighting over dumb stuff

Shut up and do as your told no thank you not happening

Watergate follow the money

All politicians are liars

Judicial injustice bad for America

People are allowed to explore ideas facts

Cenk makes great points, but has an unbelievable case of TDS

"Communism never works" is a stupid thing to say. No country ever claimed to be communist or even socialist. The attempts were by political movements inspired by Marx. They called themselves communists, but explicitly said they had not yet achieved socialism, much less communism. This channel has low standards. And corporations are a fundamental part of capitalism. All those who call capitalism "crony capitalism" are right wingers. Shame on this channel for not calling Chunk out on this. Shame on this channel for not understanding why calling what we have "crony capitalism" means you are a right winger.

I want to finish this podcast but it's so hard to get past this man's arrogance. He thinks he has the whole world figured out & if you think otherwise, you're 1000% wrong.
